SECTIONALISM CRY School Opened REACTS ON HUGHES Monday G. O. P. Candidate Is Mocked by Record of His Own Party in Congress. LAWS ENACTED ARE FOR ALL On Its Achievements Administration Invites Judgment as to Whether Its Work Is Sectional in Its Scope and Purpose. Charles E. Hughes has raised the cry of sectionalism, complaining to his Western audiences because the important Committee Chairmanships in the House and Senate have been filled—this being due to seniority promotions—by Southern members. "During the last year of Republican control there was not a committee chairmanship from the South," replies Congressman James B. Aswell in his speech reported in the Congressional Record. "Was that nationalism or blind, ignorant partisanship?" he asks. "Let the people decide," he suggests, "whether the following great measures enacted by this so-called South-controlled Congress are sectional or national: "The Underwood Tariff Law, just to the consumer as against the special privileged class, followed by a non-partisan tariff commission removing the tariff question from politics. "The Income Tax Law, causing the rich to pay their just proportion of the expenses of the Government. "The Rural Credits Law, the first legislation solely for the farmers." "The establishment of rural routes, the extension of the parcel post, and better mail service for our rural population. "The Good Roads Law for all sections and for all our people. "Farm extension laws, including Smith-Lever Act, grain and cotton standards, regulating cotton futures, and so forth. "Numerous just labor laws, the most beneficial in a century by the American Congress. "The Child Labor Law for the children of the whole country and for civilization. "The Federal Reserve Act, giving an elastic currency and preventing financial panics—the greatest act ever passed in the history of our Government. "Conservation acts for the people as against special interests. "Anti-trust laws and arbitration laws, preventing special-interest control. "Shipping act for open markets for our products and commercial mastery of the seas. "Federal Trade Commission Act, protecting the individual as against the vested interests. "The Seamen's Law for the workmen, and public safety. "Legislation supporting the President in keeping us out of the European war while maintaining peace with honor to the American flag. "Mr. Speaker, for the sake of the great dignity of the high office he seeks and in the name of common decency, let Mr. ex-Justice Hughes spectfy and name the sectional measures in the above list and mention those he would repeal!"

Topeka, Kan., Sept. 22.—Today's lynching at Olathe was the first mob violence in Kansas in which a human life has been lost in twenty-five years. Olathe, Kan., Sept. 22.—Bert Dudley, charged with the murder of Henry Muller, an aged German, and his wife, was taken from the Johnson county jail here early today by a masked mob and hung to a telephone pole. The mob came to Olathe in motor cars supposed from near Stillwell, where Muller had lived. Sheriff Lon Carroll refused to give up Dudley, and the mob overpowered him. Then they battered down three jail doors. Several shots were fider, but none was injured. The sheriff made a brave stand but was soon overpowered. His wife threw the keys away, but the mob battered down three heavy doors and took the prisoner, who had been tried and convicted. Dudley, it is said, denied the crime. TRYING TO DISCOVER MOB LEADERS. Olathe Jury Goes to Starting Place of the Mob, but Fails to Get Any Clues. Olathe, Kan., Sept. 22.—Investigation by attaches of the county prosecutor's office of the lynching here yesterday of Bert Dudley and sewaring of a coroner's jury to hold the inquest over Dudley's body furnished the day's developments in the at-day's developments in the attempt to fix the blame for the years. The investigators went to Stillwell, Kan., 17 miles from here, the home of the aged first lynching in Kansas in ten Henry Muller and his wife, Dudley victims, and alleged to have been the starting place of the mob.

THE IRON CLAW by ARTHUR STRINGER PAGE TWO The IRON CLAW AUTHOR OF "THE OCCASION "THE WIRE TAPP NOVELIZED FROM THE PATHE COPYRIGHT, 1815. SYNOPSIS. SIXTEENTH EPISODE The Unmasking of Davy. In that gloomy sanctuary of evil-doers known as the Owl's Nest, Jules Legar bent over the half sheet of paper on which the pen in his lean fingers was inscribing certain cryptic characters. Then he quickly folded the strip of parchment, placed it in an envelope, and securely gummed down the flap with the aid of the iron hook which took the place of his missing left hand. Crossing the dank flagging of the subterranean chamber, he stood before a rat-faced individual, who squinted slavishly up at him with one good eye. Although fortified by liberal portions of the Owl's illicit brew, it was evident that One-Lamp Loule nourished an unwholesome dread of that scar-marked tyrant, who brooked no infraction of his malign authority. "Cut out that booze and listen to me," commanded Legar in curt tones; "you know the place where those bulls from headquarters gave us such a lively run that I had to cache that Van Horn swag. Get out there as quick as you can and turn this envelope over to Dutch Frank, who will be waiting with Tony Rafello along the road near the lake. They will know what to do, and remember—no bungling on this job." As the one-eyed gangster placed the envelope carefully in his pocket and slunk out of that harborage of human derelicts, it would have boded ill for his peace of mind could he have seen at that moment into the dark cubby-hole where that nocturnal old hag, the Owl, nested during the daylight hours. In that unsavory retreat stood a motionless figure, with one ear THE MARRIAGE OF THE MARRIED MAN Slipped the Handcuffs Over the Secretary's Wrist. pressed so closely to the cracked door panel that every word spoken in the outer room was plainly audible. This daring eavesdropper wore a yellow mask, with the mouth silt curving upward in a fixed, mocking smile. He now seemed animated by a strong desire to accompany One-Lamp Loule as that worthy departed on his strange errand. Swiftly mounting a shaky ladder on one side of the room, the masked interloper groped his way upward through a narrow bulkhead door, opening onto a gloomy alleyway. Racing down this alley, he reached the street where a black, low-slung Limousine stood drawn up at the curb. On the next block a thick-bodied man was hailing a passing taxi. "Follow that taxicab," he cried out to the chauffeur; "don't let it get out of sight for a minute." --- The pursuit of that yellow-trimmed taxicab led through the canyon-like streets of the lower city onto a squat forryboat and across the turbid river, threaded the narrow mazes of Jersey City, and finally swept out on to the broad highways of the open country. Like a greyhound coursing a clumsy rabbit, the high-powered limousine clung to the lurching taxi, and then as the two dust-enveloped vehicles struck into the uplands their speed perceptibly slackened. Among these rolling uplands were the stately summer mansions of a millionaire colony which migrated here annually from the sweltering metropolis. It was in this abiding place of wealth that Enoch Golden had erected a great rambling manor house. The aged banker now stepped out of one of the French windows opening on the broad veranda and stood thoughtfully surveying the peaceful landscape glimmering in the June sunlight. "What is troubling you, Enoch?" his gentle-faced wife inquired tenderly; "do you think we may still be in danger from that man who already has caused us so much suffering?" "It isn't that I fear for myself," Golden replied, fondling the hand that lay in his, "but that human monster seems bent on striking at me through harming Margery. He is capable of anything, but I hardly believe he will dare remain in this vicinity with both Captain Brackett and Lieutenant Kirby on his track." Even as he spoke those two redoubtable, if somewhat heavy-featured, police officers turned in at the graveled driveway. "It's all right, Mr. Golden," called out the red-jowled police captain as soon as he got within hailing distance, "not a trace of that bunch of yeggs. They must have been tipped off I was workin' on the case." "That's fine," called out a sweet girlish voice from the house, "now father can't refuse to let me have that gallop Major and I are both longing for." "It would be hard for me to refuse you anything, Margery," responded the affectionate father, "and if Captain Brackett thinks it will be safe, I certainly don't want to spoil your pleasure." "Your daughter will be in no danger while I'm around," pompously announced that officer, "and now the Iron Claw bandit has cleaned out, I'm goin' on a still hunt for that masked gum-shoe artist. That paper your secretary got off Red Egan leaves a lot of bad jobs that need explain." A few minutes later a groom approached the veranda leading a spirit-ed black horse. Margery leaped into the saddle and the thoroughbred swung into the lake road. She became so absorbed in the liquid-noted duet of two mating song birds that when Major suddenly pricked up his ears and shiled to one side of the road her equilibrium was seriously threatened for the moment. As she regained her pre-carious balance and quieted her high-string mount Margery discovered the object of his fright was a black, dust-coated limousine standing half concealed in the thick shrubbery. A motionless figure sat in the driver's seat, his visored cap pulled low over his face. She urged the skittish animal past the troublesome black specter and continued down the road, every sense keenly on the alert for possible danger. Presently her horse reared again, and this time more violently, as a hawk-faced chauffeur wearing a greasy duster jumped up from the grassy bank where he had been smoking his pipe. Near this disreputable figure stood an equally disreputable looking taxicab with yellow trimmings. With a light touch of her whip, Margery swept past this leering harbinger of evil. A few hundred yards farther on Margery sharply reined in her mount and sat, intently staring into a clump of alder bushes growing close to the lake. In that clump of bushes she saw the back of a thick-shouldered man, who, by his impatient movements, appeared to be waiting for someone. As the puzzled girl watched that vaguely familiar figure, a startling development took place. A second person, whose features were concealed by a derisively smiling mask of yellow fabric, stepped out of the dense foliage and abruptly confronted the waiting figure, whom Margery now placed the one of Legar's scoundrels known as One-Lamp Louie. Apparently the newcomer was making some urgent demand upon that one-eyed miscreant, a demand which he emphasized by sundry prods with the muzzle of a heavy blue-metalized revolver. After casting a furtive glance about him, the wily gangster appeared to weakly surrender, for he drew from his inner coat pocket a sealed envelope, which his masked opponent hastily seized and ripped open. Even as he rapidly scanned the strip of paper he found in the envelope, the silent girl on horseback saw creeping through the bushes two stealthy figures, which were stalking the Laughing Mask like slinking jungle cats hunting in pairs. The next moment those creeping figures had avalanched themselves upon him, knocking his weapon from his hand and bearing him heavily to the ground under their combined weight. Fighting with a courage born of desperation, the Laughing Mask with one supreme effort shook off the clutches of his unwieldy opponents and sprang to his feet, the strip of white paper still gripped in his left hand. One-Lamp Loule, seeing his opportunity, leveled the revolver and fired at close range. A stinging pain in his left hand forced him to involuntarily relinquish his hold on the crumpled bit of paper, and a puff of wind sent it kitting high above his head. "That bluff don't wilt 'not when we know Mask was wounded do not half an hour solemnly enunciatedley, you are under a With these words slipped the handcuff tary's wrists. "But this is prepaired Brackett," declared somewhat heatedly, think of accusing me of being the Laughing boy, who has stood in my troubles." "I'm sorry, Mr. Go must take its course smug-faced police The astonished girl, sitting as motionless as an equestrian statue, had barely time to gather her scattered wits, when that disputed scrap of parchment came gently floating down the breeze. She knew that paper must have some great intrinsic value or the Laughing Mask would not have jeopardized his life for its possession. Wheeling her tender-mouthed horse in his tracks, she struck him a sharp blow with her riding crop. Smarting under this unusual indignity, he launched out like a black thunderbolt toward the startled gangsters blocking his path. Margery swung low like an Indian and scooped up the paper. As Margery swept past the last of her enemies she saw the black limousine backing out from the shrubbery just ahead of her, and by a aerculean effort succeeded in pulling up barely in time to avoid a collision with that mysterious vehicle. Just then the Laughing Mask, with his left hand hastily bandaged, burst out of the bushes and ran swiftly toward the waiting motor car. He stopped in sudden wonderment as he saw the sereneeyed girl who smilingly extended a frayed and soiled strip of white paper. "I don't know whether this is your property," she said lightly as he came Placed Their Shoulders A Placed Their Shoulders Against the Granite Bowler, toward her, "but I didn't want you to lose it after that terrible fight." He was suddenly interrupted by the sound of loud and raucous shouts and the jerky whirring of the taxicab engine. "These men are in an ugly mood and will stop at nothing. My man and I can hold them off until you get a start. When you get home give that paper to your father's secretary, it concerns him deeply. Go at once and ride as hard as you know." From the depths of a comfortable wicker chair in the spacious living room, Margery narrated the exciting events of the last hour to a little circle of breathless auditors, including the somewhat abashed Captain Brackett of headquarters. I liked the design. I'll trush it now, captain, for I don't break the set." He quickly crossed to the raging guardian of the peacetracted the yellow bit of m his unwilling fingers. The elen weapon he backed slot open window, and, leaping an agile spring, vanished sight of that little assembla come with the very audac daring stroke, they stood ment staring at the open win came a hurried stampede a house to cut off the retre masked fugitive. Davy, remaining behind, vicious reason that he was still handcuffed, found fixed up And when she exhibited that tattered slip of paper which she had been instructed to deliver to the young secretary, David Manley, the red-faced captain could restrain himself no longer. "I ain't sayin' this Laughing Mask ain't brave enough when it comes to a showdown," he said in unctuous tones, "but that don't let him off those crimes he's charged with. I've been followin' up a clue that leads right into this house, Mr. Golden, and if you ain't got any objections I'd like to have a talk with that secretary of yours." At that moment the unsuspecting object of this thinly veiled instuination airily entered the room. Margery uttered a gasp of surprise as she saw his left hand bound in a blood-stained handkerchief. "That left hand of yours looks kind of mussed up," said the police captain, "perhaps you wouldn't mind tellin' us how it got hurt." For the first time since Margery had known the frank and boyishly engaging David Manley he appeared constrained and somewhat evasive. "Wh—I— was fooling around in the gunroom and—and my automatic accidently went off," he replied haltingly, and then added quickly as though struck by an inspiration, "I was cleaning it, you know." Into the dull face of the captain flashed a look of satisfied triumph. He took from his pocket a pair of heavy, jangling handcuffs. --- "That bluff don't work," he replied, "not when we know the Laughing Mask was wounded in the left hand not half an hour ago." Then he solemnly enunciated, "David Manley, you are under arrest!" With these words he dexterously slipped the handcuffs over the secretary's wrists. "But this is preposterous, Captain Brackett," declared Enoch Golden somewhat heatedly. "I would as soon think of accusing my own daughter of being the Laughing Mask as this boy, who has stood by me through all my troubles." "I'm sorry, Mr. Golden, but the law must take its course," answered the smug-faced police officer. "I didn't make any move until I was sure of what I was doin', though I've had my suspicions ever since I found this here piece of joolry on your library floor the time the Laughing Mask gave us the slip." Fishing in a deep sidepocket, he drew out a gold cuff link with the letters D. M. monogrammed on its oval face. "You'll have to do a lot of explainin' before you get through," he thundered at Davy in a third-degree voice, "and since you say you ain't the Laughing Mask, you might as well commence by tellin' us how he happened to drop this sleeve button with your initials on it." "I guess you'll have to do your duty, captain," came his low-toned deply. "I have no explanation to offer you." Suddenly from behind a lace hanging stepped a familiar figure holding a black automatic in his hand. His features were hidden by a yellow mask, the mouth silt curving into an enigmatic smile. "The Laughing Mask!" involuntarily burst from the astounded group. "Entirely at your service," came the mocking rejoinder. Then he cried tersely. "Throw up your hands, all of you. The cuff link which this highly intelligent officer considers so very important was borrowed by me because gainst the Granite Bowlder. I liked the design. I'll trouble you for it now, captain, for I don't want to break the set." He quickly crossed to that silently raging guardian of the peace and extracted the yellow bit of metal from his unwilling fingers. Then with leveled weapon he backed slowly to the open window, and, leaping out with an agile spring, vanished from the sight of that little assemblage. Overcome with the very audacity of this daring stroke, they stood for a moment staring at the open window, then came a hurried stampede out of the house to cut off the retreat of the masked fugitive. Davy, remaining behind, for the obvious reason that he was still securely handcuffed, found fixed upon him the somewhat scornful glance of Margery Golden. "Why have you led me to think you were the brave Laughing Mask all this time?" she demanded, with a rising inflection of anger. "If you must know, Margery," he replied, groping for his words, "it was because I love you and I thought you were learning to love him for his bravery in your defense." "You were quite right in thinking so," answered the blazing-eyed girl; "I do love him and I could never love anyone who could stoop to such deception as you have." They were interrupted in the midst of this painful discussion by the return of the crestfallen police captain and Davy's much-reliable employer. "We couldn't find the slightest trace of that impudent masquerader," said the aged banker in response to his secretary's questioning look, "but I don't care so much now that you are absolved from this ridiculous charge." Then, turning to Captain Brackett, he added with pardonable sarcasm, "Isn't it about time you released this desperate criminal?" As Davy stood rubbing his aching wrists, from which the half-heartedly apologetic officer had just removed the constraining handcuffs, his eye fell on that strip of paper Margery had retrieved at such great hazard and which now lay on the table forgotten in the excitement of the moment. "No wonder they put up such a fight for this paper," he cried excited- --- "Throw Up Your Hands. All of You!" ly, "for it is the key to the hiding place of the Van Horn loot, which Legar must have cached when we had him on the run. It gives Wrenney's Oak as a starting place, and here are the directions for pacing off the distances to where the plate is concealed." Captain Brackett, now rehabilitated in his customary dignity, reached out an authoritative hand for the paper and studied it intently for a moment. "Anyone could see that," he answered slightlyly, "and we've got to get out to Wrenney's Oak in a hurry if we're goin' to beat the Iron Claw and his pirates to that sack of loot." With his usual buoyant spirits decidedly crushed, David Manley stood on the broad veranda and watched the little party embark in a racing motorboat, which carried them swiftly over the limpid waters, leaving a long trail of foam in its wake. For a brief space Davy stared irresolutely out over the lake, then a look of sudden determination flashed into his face, and a few minutes later he was at the helm of the speedy "Arrow," skimming over the surface of that lake as lightly as a swallow on the wing. He landed a short distance below the deserted craft of his employer and made his way through the moss-carpeted woods toward Wrenney's Oak as silently as in aboriginal. As he approached that hoary veteran of the forest, he saw under its wide-flung branches the golden-haired object of his quest. The giant oak had implanted its sturdy roots deep in the soil on the edge of a precipitous ravine, and as Davy's eyes traveled up the steep hillside which abruptly flanked the narrow path skirting this ravine his face suddenly went white with fearsome apprehension. Peering out of a tangled thicket was the deep-seared face of Jules Legar. That face was as repellant in its beastlike ferocity as must have been the hideously painted savages who once roamed these forest glades, bent on murder and destruction. Unconscious of the presence of this lurking foe, the stalwart police captain was solemnly pacing off certain distances, guided by a slip of white paper which he held in his hand. Standing near by and completely absorbed in these awkward maneuvers was the graceful figure of Margery Golden, her stoop-shouldered father close beside her. A rasping oat from Legar warned Davy that something had gone amiss with that worthy's plans. "The cop's stumbled on the right place by accident," growled the angry voice from behind the bushes; "the fool thinks the stuff is in the ground—now he's starting to dig right in front of the cave—that sews up Louie good and tight—we'll have to do something and do it quick." "If you want to put the kibosh on that bunch buttin' into our business, I know how to do it," said Frank. "That big rock we seen up the hill don't need much of a shove to send it gain' down like thunder let loose, an' it' is headed just about right to smash that whole outfit off the ledge into the gully." Davy saw the two rapidly moving figures climbing up toward a massive bowder which by one of those odd whims of nature hung so lightly poised on the hillside that the hand of a child might have set it vibrating on its precarious balance. He saw Legar and Dutch Frank place their shoulders against that granite bowder. Davy knew that in a few seconds that revolving bulk of solid granite would acquire a velocity which would send it tearing past him like a shot out of a gun. He raced down the hillside and put his last ounce of strength into a flying leap which landed him close to Margery Golden and her started companions. He dived against the wondering-eyed girl as a groggy football player might weakly hurl himself against the opposing line, and the sheer impact of his weight sent them both sprawling several yards up the trail which bordered the ravine. Even as Enoch Golden and Captain Brackett rushed to lay hands on Margery's supposed assailant the flying mass of rock thundered across the space where they all had been standing but the second before, and sweeping every obstacle out of its path, went crashing and reverberating into the depths of the yawning chasm far below. It was the hardy police officer, in- ured to the shock and tumult of conflict by the experience of many years, who first recovered his self-possession and noted a one-eyed man stealthily making his way out of a deep and cavernous fissure in some nearby rocks. Over one shoulder this villainous-faced prowler bore a burial sack which gave out a clanking sound as he felt his way step by step along the rough trait. The captain made up in valor what he lacked in discretion, and, tugging out his heavy service revolver, he rushed after that skulking gangster, loudly calling on him to surrender in the name of the law. But One-Lamp Loute had no apparent intention of surrendering either himself or the coveted bag of loot to that wrathful guardian of public morals. Instead, he coolly dropped to one knee and lived up to his reputation of being the handiest gunman in Legar's hard-shooting gang by sending a bullet neatly drilled through the police captain's shoulder. But he did not know as he dodged his way among the shadowy tree trunks that a youthful figure armed with a heavy police revolver, a resolute-faced girl and an elderly white-haired man were rapidly closing in on him. As he broke from cover and started up the railroad embankment he ripped out a hasty oath as he saw his pursuers emerging from the woods a short distance below him. At the same moment they saw that sinister figure with the burlap sack and came toward him on the run. One-Lamp Loule instantly reached the conclusion that it was safer to run than to fight, and he pounded up the ties with rapid strides. Fifty yards up the track the gangster saw a battered old switching engine standing by a dripping water tank. He leaped aboard and opened the throttle. As the self-constituted posse came to a baffled stop close by the water tank they saw an evilly grinning figure learing out from the cab of the fast receding engine, a figure whose hand waved a mocking signal of farewell in true railroad style. A few feet distant from the water tank was a small, boxlike shanty containing the levers manipulating various switches. In front of this shanty stood a distraught engineer, volubly cursing the bald depredator who had robbed him of his iron charge. Suddenly a new look of consternation finished into his eyes and he turned in a frenzy of excitement to his grimy-faced assistant. "We've got to throw that devil off the main line, Gus," he shouted as he dived into the boxlike structure. "The Overland is due any second. They'll crash together head on." Almost as he spoke the last words he jammed over one of the shining levers with all his strength. At that moment came a long-drawn screeching whistle, accompanied by the grinding sound of hastily applied airbrakes. Down the level stretch of track the onlookers, gripped in an agony of suspense, saw the heavy Overland express rushing at top speed straight for the lumbering freight engine. The intervening space between those speeding iron-clad monsters lessened with every second. With set faces the little group by the water tank steeled themselves for that seemingly inevitable crash of collision. But at that crucial instant the outlaw engine swerved with incredible swiftness and shot off into the long siding, just as the express thundered past with its dozen coaches of human freight. Like a crazy Malay running amuck the engine, with the desperado at its throttle, tore down the siding toward a startled group of laborers who had been ripping out a defective rail. Amid a babble of warning shouts the engine struck that deadly gap, and bereft of its steel guides, plowed wildly for a short distance along the ties, and then, enveloped in a swirling cloud of steam, plunged headlong over the steep embankment. Under that shapeless mass of twisted metal which had once been a stald old switching engine the white-faced pursuers of One-Lamp Louie found the crushed and lifeless form of the unregenerate gunman huddled across a burlap sack of stolen plate. With a gesture of distress Margery Golden turned away from that repulsive, death-stilled figure. "Please take me home," she said wearily to her father, who was standing near by. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

USURY IS A CRIME in Oklahoma (but this doesn't apply to landlords. WHEN THE TIME COMES the Colored voters of Tulsa County will show their righteous disgust for Republican rule. WHAT ABOUT the assistant city attorneyship promised the leader of the Colored forces of the G. O. P. last spring! THE SEGREGATION ACT is a rank insult to the race, and should be stubbornly resisted. Be men and stand up for your rights! WHAT HAS THE REPUBLICAN city administration done for the East End! Answer: Nothing! Don't wait until after the election to get wise. Now is the time. Highwaymen are so audaciously bold in Tulsa that they are holding up policemen. Wonder what kind of "dope" the republicans will dish out to their Colored brethren in the approaching campaign? After all, the democrats in Tulsa county have been fair with us in every particular. How about the republicans? The average Colored man who has made an honest study of the political situation in this country, if he has the backbone to confess his own conviction, will admit that the political salvation of the race depends upon our political diversification. It would be mighty nice for the city commissioners to open up Greenwood street across the Frisco tracks. In view of the treatment the republicans have accorded the Colored people after being elected, largely by the Colored vote to govern the city, it will be a difficult matter for any self-respecting Colored man in Tulsa county to vote that ticket this fall. Enough of anything is a plenty. Seymore Johnson voted wrong last spring, but has grown penitent and declared allegiance to the democrats. "No more republicans for me," says Seymore. "Wise men sometimes change their minds. Fools never do." Stand Up for the Party. It takes an awfully humble "nigger" to stand all that Oklahoma republicans put on the Negroes of the state of Oklahoma. And the whole United States cannot afford a party history which is an improvement on our Oklahoma traditions.—The Tattler, Muskogee. This comes from a city which is said to be one of the republican strongholds where Colored men have gone the limit for the G. O. P., but where their loyalty has always been ill-required The Railroads of the United States employ 350,000 section hands who walk their beat in storm and rain and whose brawn and brain make possible our great transportation systems. Their compensation is not sufficient to feed and clothe their families and their bright-faced children are sentenced by American civilization to a life of ignorance and poverty. These employees are as important, as efficient and as loyal as many of the higher waged employees and their rights should also be reviewed by congress. The republican victory in Maine on the 11th of September has filled the republican leaders with enthusiasm and Mr. Hughe is said to feel that his election is now assured. As the result of this victory campaign contributions are pouring into the republic an treasurer in large quantities. In view of the fact that some of the democratic leaders were claiming before the election that Maine would go democratic their claims of electing Mr. Wilson in November will not carry a much weight as heretofore. However, the democrats appear to be as confident as ever that President Wilson will be re-elected in November and that the result in Maine is merely another case of "Dutch capturing Holland" as the state of Maine is among the "ten strongest republican" states in the Union, and they point to the fact that Mr. Wilson only received 51,000 votes in Maine in 1912, and Senator Johnson, who appealed to the voters of Maine to return him to Washington to support President Wilson, received 68,500 votes which is an increase of about 35 per cent over the democratic vote of 1912. They further say that with the republicans divided in 1912 Mr. Wilson merely carried the state by the narrow plurality of 3,000 votes, and that this percentage of republican gain would not wipe out the 200,000 plurality President Wilson received in New York, the 150,000 he received in Ohio and the 120,000 he received in Indiana, and so on. Furthermore, the democrats claim that Maine has not shared in our great prosperity to the same extent that the great manufacturing, farming, and mining states have, and this great prosperity will cause those states to vote "against any change" in the national administration. Furthermore, the republicans have pledged themselves in their platform to repeal the Underwood tariff bill, which would of course, repeal the income tax law, thereby relieving the millionaires of the $200,000,000 income tax, which they now pay and which would have to be collected from the masses as heretofore, thereby adding that enormous sum to the cost of living. The democrats claim that the income tax issue alone with the prosperity issue will overwhelmingly re-elect Mr. Wilson. Every voter can pay his money, and take his choice Washington:--The Federal Reserve Board's weekly statement shows an increase of more than $2,400,000 in the total earning assets of the member banks. The Houston Post reasons that it was easier for its own beloved Democracy to endorse the President's Mexican policy than to define it. While he was about it Senator James Hamilton Lewis also might have explained that the Rome that was "too proud to fight," died a rather disastrous death. "In all fairness," asks the Boston Transcript, "shouldn't the expense of financing Carranza be borne by the Democratic campaign committees?" Democrats really haven't any objection to big appropriations for army and navy and internal improvements. They expect the Republicans to rustle the revenue to foot the bills for the next four years. Hughes says he would like six months to investigate the Administration, but the Administration figures he's doing very well as it is. Yes, and the same policies that have allied Judge Hughes and others with "a deep sense of shame," have sent many other Americans to their graves. The President has changed his mind about sending more troops to the border, thus running true to form. When Tom Taggart talks economy to them, it is time the Democrats stopped their extravagance. The Hughes smile is beginning to attract favorable attention. President Entertains Five Progressives—Headline. Others he simply amuses. Democratic papers chide Hughes because he says he is "100 per cent. a candidate." The Wilson papers naturally prefer a fifty-digit candidate. The President says he has no interest in any political party. "except as an instrument of achievement." If that's it, then how did he happen to select such a poor instrument as the Democratic party? Carrunza isn't a candidate for President of the United States, but he did more for American preparedness in three weeks than Woodrow Wilson did in three years. Another thing you never hear of since the Democrats reduced the cost of living is the "baker's dozen." Mr. Hughes is criticized for his frequent use of the word "Now." Evidently his immediateness is worrying the watchful waiters who put things off until tomorrow. Families living in rural districts where mail service has been curtailed will be interested in knowing that Postmaster General Burleson has sent Secretary McAdoo a check for $5,200,000, representing surplus postal revenues. Mr. Gardner should not quote what Mr. Wilson said while president of Princeton. His utterances are outlawed by himself in seven days. That man Hughes is causing the Democrats newspapers an endless amount of worry. Apparently they will never be satisfied until he turn the management of his campaign over to them. Mr. Hughes' speeches are giving poor satisfaction to the Democrats press, which proves they are very good speeches, indeed. Secretary Baker is developing an agility in changing his mind that must endear him to his discoverer. Mr. Wilson's Administration must confess itself incompetent in one respect or the other. It either has an appropriated for an unneeded navy or it has neglected a needed navy. Can select its fault to suit itself. I one respect or the other it must be wrong. "I believe in efficiency in politics just as much as in anything else says Mr. Hughes. Efficiency is an excellent watch-word, and its use of the campaign is merely a forerunner of its use in the White House when he gets there. First they said that Hughes was a iceberg, now they are saying that it is a mud-slinger. He cannot possibly be both, and as a matter of fact, neither. The Democrats must feel a mighty bad way when they cut out "mud and treason." PRECIPITATED WAR When Mr. Wilson forgets himself he admits that we have been at war; for example, on May 11, 1914, in an address over the dead marines at the navy yard in Brooklyn, he said that the marines had been engaged in "a war of service." A war of service to whom or to what? Certainly not to the United States; nor to Mexico; nor to humanity at large. Was it to Mr. Wilson?—From the speech of Col.

Desert to the ordinary kind of red fire and breath taking startlers of the "movie stunts" were not necessary to put theill into W. H. Clune's cinema operatic metacle. "Ramona," which will be seen the first time here at the Grand for a four-day engagement, September 23. The original plot of the amazingly popular Helen Hunt Jackson novel, of which "Ramona" is a picturization, is made up of a succession of swift moving scenes that comprise a vetrable usillade of dramatic clashes, and Director Donald Crisp, whose experience in producing "The Birth of a Nation" taught him value of "punch" in big scenes, found all of this much-sought element that could be desired in the actual text. Readers of the book will recall with tingling nerves the tragic sacking of the Indian village Temecula; the panic and stampede of the Indians; their frenzy as they applied torches to the home from which they were being driven by the whites; the arrival of Alessandro in the heat of the conflict, the death of his father, the great Chief Pablo Assis; the brutal rounding up by the whites of the Indian men, women and children like cattle All are portrayed in the screen spectacle with a realism that holds an audience spellbound. The force of these scenes does not lie in their "punch" alone. A large part comes from the absolute humanity of the occurrences, for the pictures are a literal transcript of history. After erving they depict harm within a day's railroad journe of Los Angeles, and in it all epitomized a century's poll of cruelty and spoilation by the white man in his dealings with his red brother. In some of the "big scene" in motion picture plays, you feel that they are "stunts" one for their effect. Not so in this case. The hand of time seems to have been turned back for those who have read "Ramona" and know its history. You seem to be witnessing one of the great tragedies of human chronicle. In contrast with these scenes the framed-up thrill material of the scenario writer's imagination seems cheap, theatrical and insincere. Tales of GOTHAM and other CITIES How to Show the Sights of New York in One Day How to Show the Sights of New York in One Day NEW YORK. How to show New York in a day is a problem which has confronted many a resident of the city when his country cousins have appeared unexpectedly "for a visit," but in reality to see the metropolis. After many ed States, the guide leads the way to a boat binding a few paces away and the party spends a 'bour crossing to Bedloe's island, climbing part of the way up the interior of the Liberty statue, and returning to Manhattan he proceeds up Whitehall street to the new customhouse and Bowling Green park. Where now stands a statue of the one-legged Peter there stood in Revolutionary days that leaden counterfeit of King George III, which, as every school book says, was turned into bullets and sent hurting after the fleeing reddons. Turning east a block to Broad street, the guide points out the remodeled Frances tavern, where General Washington bade a tearful farewell to his officers. Going north to Wall street, the party views the United States subtreasury, the stock exchange, 'trinity church, and at the same time sees some of the tallest skyscrapers.' Then the guide leads the party northward in Center street to "Little Italy." Chinatown and the Bowery, turning eastward they proceed through the streets congested with folk speaking alien tongues. After viewing the celebrated push-cart markets in the gutters of Wester street, they turn westward to Washington square, where they board a bus that carries them along "Millionaire row" on Fifth avenue, turning off at Fifty-seventh street to Riverside drive and Grant's tomb. Men of Sacramento Organize a Barefoot League Men of Sacramento Organize a Barefoot League SACRAMENTO, CAL.—Hurkening back to the days when man roamed careless across green pastures, mushnaked by costly footwear, when cool, solid comfort met the naked foot at every step, and when corns and bunions Contless Summer League for Men, had something to do with it. The requirements of the league are these: No member must be too modest to display his bare feet. He must be without pedal covering in attending meetings. He must be willing to do, and enjoy, walking on his lawn before the assembled multitude, including his wife, mosh. He must be willing to step into his neighbor's house in his bare feet and walk across his neighbor's hardwood floors as nonchalantly as though he were Pithecantropus in the Jungles. Several meetings of the league have been held at the homes of the charter members. The meetings are preceded by a walk upon the lawn of the host. As the evening becomes cool the members retire to the hosts' drawing room and are entertained with phonograph selections. Despite serious objection to the league on the part of the better halves in some of the homes, the organization has grown and is now reaching out for congenial spirits. "Keep cool and comfortable and cure your corns" is the slogan of the league. Mississippi Slights Memphis But Eats a Park MEMPHIS, TENN.—A great bar of mud and sand, half a mile long and an eighth of a mile wide, has formed along the Mississippi river front, preventing steamboats handling at the Memphis levee. Thousands of dollars are ing navigation. Twenty years ago there was 90 feet of water where the mud bank now extends four or five feet above the surface of the water. The channel has veered off from Memphis, swifting to the Arkansas shore, where it runs swift and deep. It will probably cost the government a half a million dollars to induce the channel to swing back to the Tennessee side. A little further down the river the channel has set hard against the Tennessee shore and is eating its way into beautiful Riverside park, a large tract of land owned by the city. Already at some places the bank has been washed, away and the highly improved driveway has fallen into the water. When the channel of the Mississippi decides to make a change, nothing, apparently can stop it. It will begin eating into the soft earthen banks and such obstructions as trees of giant proportions do not stand in its way. At some points the river has carried away a quarter of a mile of land in a single high-water period and steamboats run where only a few months before fields of corn and cotton grew. Gotham's Cold Storage Eggs Must Be So Stamped NEW YORK.—"Cold storage" will be the appetizing words that will confront you most of the time when you order "three soft bolled" for breakfast. "Cold storage" will mingle with your onelet; the shells from which emerge your scrambled eggs will have been stamped "cold storage." The truly important question is "Who, in obligation to Commissioner Dilton's order, will stamp the eggs?" Commission merchants who deal in eggs insist that the retailers, the little drymen and delicatessen dealers must identify every one of the 650,000,000 eggs that come out of cold storage to the consumer. Perhaps the families of the delicatessen dealers and the growers would find great happiness and enjoyment in imprinting "cold storage" on all such eggs. Besides, the practice would teach the younger members of the family delicacy of touch. The imprint must be made gently, very gently. Otherwise there would be need—in the case of some eggs, or in some cases of eggs—of gas masks, and gas masks are expensive. They are in much demand "somewhere" in every country that is fighting in Europe. The manufacturers of gas masks are making as much money as the capable and industrious hens are earning for—not the farmers—but the commission merchants and the retailers.

THE TULSA DAILY STAR HOME TOWN HELPS PROPER PLANNING OF CITIES Method Has a Deeper Significance Than the Mere Laying Out of Human Dwelling Places. "I am very glad to hear that among the objects of the American Civie association is that of getting rid of the impression that city planning has mainly to do with the large cities of hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, and indeed that is not solely concerned with these cities, but that one of the main functions of city planning is to deal with the small town and even with the small village community," so said Mr. Thomas Adams, the well-known English town planning expert, now civic adviser to the commission of conservation of Canada, in opening an address at the convention of the American Civie association on the subject "The Economic Basts of City Planning." Continuing, Mr. Adams said: "Town planning does not deal with the beautification of the town but town planning. I should rather like to put it, includes the embellishment of the external features, of the town both in regard to its public buildings and in regard to its transportation. But these matters are only part of what should be properly regarded as city planning. And when we come to analyze the fundamental things in city life we find that really we ought not to begin with the embellishment or with the beautiful in the city, but that after the route of civil life, the two things that matter are the industrial and the residential; are the factories and home life. You want not only to look forward for the next thirty, forty, or fifty years in regard to your park systems, but you want to make sure that in the next forty, fifty or sixty years every person who builds a new home will be secured against disease which may be created by anything that can be prevented. You want to make sure that the conditions shall be healthy in regard to housing as well as in regard to the general civic aspect of the city." IS RIGHT TO ANNOY SACRED? How Jersey City Courts, by a Recent Decision, Allow Property Owners to Exalt Ugliness. The sacred right of the property holder to make himself a public nulsance is renfirmed by the decision of the New Jersey supreme court, says the New York Tribune. It appears that this right was menaced by a statute which made it unlawful to disguise with advertisements the Palladies along the Hudson. The statute is found to be unconstitutional on the ground that the legislator may deprive the owner of the right to use his land for such purpose only when the signs are a menace to public health or morals. This kind of individual liberty is one of the unfortunate limitations under which our whole system labors. The public has other interests to conserve besides those of health, safety and morality. It is a mark of indifference to beauty bordering on barbarism that esthetic considerations receive so little recognition in the eye of the law. The zealousness with which the courts are bound to protect the individual in the use of that which is his own permits the defacing of our scenes of natural beauty with every conceivable form of hideousness. Something more than a right of property is invaded when one individual may ruin for millions of people the beauty of a piece of nature's handiwork. Don'ts for Homebuilders. If you want to prevent trouble and inconvenience after you have moved into the new home, observe these "don'ts" while building: Don't cut down any trees on the building site until you are ready to begin building, and then only enough to provide room for the house. This prevents unnecessary sacrifice, and after the house has been lived in for a while, one can easily determine what others must go. Don't, with a white interior trim, have other, than quartered white oak floors. Don't when finishing the interior of the new house be unmindful of the quality of the paint used thereon. Paint serves two effects it protects and improves the appearance of the house, and the one ingredient in its composition necessary to the fulfilment of this purpose is zinc. The College of Forestry connected with Syracuse university has examined and outlined methods of improvement for public shade trees in 26 cities and towns in the state of New York. It has been found that in the cities there are 20,000 miles of streets of a character capable of sustaining a growth of 5,000,000 shade trees which can be made worth $100,000,000 in increased property value. Buffalo is thoroughly alive to the possibilities of the situation and spends annually about $75,000 for the planting and conservation of shade trees along its public streets.

FROM ALL OVER Louisville, Ky., is to have a mission school for Baptist women, to cost $150,000. The girls who wore khaki and drilled through a hard month's encomment at Chevy, Chase, Md., are now to be active organizers of societies throughout the country for sewing shirts for soldiers. The khaki-clad "Sister Susies" will also go to the front for the Red Cross if actual need happens to arise. WHAT THE SHELLS HAVE DONE TO VERDUN A small pocket light has no battery.

When Karl Nading, five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Nading of Columbus, went to play with a hatchet, he had the same trouble other boys have had. He got his right hand in the path of the hatchet blade and the first finger was almost cut off. In spite of the fact that the finger was hanging by a shred of flesh, the boy did not cry. Instead he grew philosophical. "It's my trigger finger," he told his mother, "and if I can't pull a trigger, I can't shoot a gun; and if I can't shoot a gun, why I can't go to war, so it isn't so bad after all." Finally a physician arrived and began dressing the wound. The only remark the little fellow made was when the bandage was being dressed tight. "Good night!" he exclaimed, "that hurts."—Indianapolis News. # Laura Jean Libbey's TALKS ON HEART TOPICS FRIENDLY STRANGERS: The faults of others with freedom we blame.

This is especially applicable to the handsome dapper young man who suddenly appears in a small town and captures, without effort, the hearts of all the girls whom the home beaux had been all their lives striving to win. The average girl finds it difficult to enthuse over the young men she has known from boyhood up. MARY There is no romance in walking home from church with a youth whom she remembers seeing once upon a time with a jum-besmeared face and knickerbocker, sadly in need of patching at both knees, to say nothing of elbows out of his jacket, and freckles. People seldom forget a ludicrous picture of that kind. A girl who has known a boy from the cradle up, knows pretty well what he is going to talk about before he opens his lips. There are few, if any, subjects he can introduce which she is not quite as well informed about as he is. If he attempts to talk seriously to her there is no responsive chord in her heart to touch. He finds—loe-making, up-hill business. Let a handsome young stranger come to town, and the interest of all the marringable maidens is aroused at once. They ask of each other "who is he," and they cogitate over whether he is married or single. If he is fortunate enough to secure an introduction to one esteemed family in which there are young girls, his social success is assured. Little affairs are given for him that he may meet the most desirable girls in the community. Every door is thrown open to him and the young women vie with each other to make his calls pleasant and themselves pleasing. If he is a fairly good conversationalist the girls vote him "splendid company," his fattery falling upon willing ears. 1 He has no difficulty in cutting out the difflent town beau. He can dance like a professional, sing in a way, that makes feminine hearts flutter, put a world of meaning in a lingering glance, or clinging handclasp. He selects the prettiest girl to make love to, but she must have the wealthiest of family. The poor but lovely young girl he passes by. He has no taste for love in a cottage. When he has made such quick time in his moving that his betrothal to the wealthiest girl in town is announced in a few weeks after he has met her, the young man who has known and loved her all his life, but had not the courage to propose marriage, begins to sit up and take notice. He wonders what the girls in the home town of this paragon think of him and if he is as popular with them. After a personal investigation, he discovers the man bears too sporty a reputation in his home town for the young women to extend him an entree into their homes. That a girl's fair name would suffer if she were seen talking with him, or accompanying him to any place of amusement, that he will work only until he can accumulate a few dollars with which to try his luck here and there heress hunting. It is a kindly impulse which prompts receiving an agreeable stranger into one's home on friendly terms. If he proves worthy of every confidence, well and good. When he asks for daughter's heart and hand, it will not do the least bit of harm to do a little investigating quietly. If he bears an excellent reputation in his home town it's a big feather in his cap. If he is all that he purports to be, he will court investigation, instead of showing resentment at a doubt. GIRLS DRESS ON VACATION. An exile, ill in heart and frame, a wanderer, weary of the way; A stranger, without love's sweet claim On any heart, go where I may. It's the girl who has never been away from home before and is to have a few weeks outing who is all at sea as to what to take with her and how she ought to dress. The problems of the newly rich, in this respect, are worth hearing about. The poor tradesman who has just inherited a windfall of wealth from an uncle or someone else who had kept out of his way during his lifetime at first too bewildered to plan how he is to commence to get rid of it. His wife rises to the occasion. They'll not live over the store a day longer than it will take to buy a new house, furnish it, install in it servants and move into it. The servants will be placed in charge while the family hie themselves to the most fashionable resort she can find. Saleswomen are not always a help to the newly-rich woman who brings in her daughter "to be costumed to appear in the best society." The result is, the family arrives at its destination with three loaded trunks filled with finery for daughter, one for mother and a suitcase for father. The girl and her mother have read of white silk sport clothes at Palm Beach and suppose the same dressing holds good for the girls at the mountain-top resort. One glance as they enter the dining room for breakfast and mother and daughter look at each other with perturbed faces. Scores of girls are there, but there's not one white silk frock to be seen. Sport suits reign supreme, gray striped white wool skirts, shirt waists and sweeters bright as rainbow hues, heavy boots for mountain climbing and tam-o'-shanter or wool sport hats. The flesh pink silk sweter daughter has in the very bottom of her largest trunk is not the thing at all. The luncheon dress of love gray tulle is quite as much out of place, for the rest of the girls, just returned from a ten-mile mountain tramp, scurry into the dining room, hungry as young bears, just as they are, for there's golf on the program for the afternoon, with little if any change in the morning's sport attire. The girl dressed up like a doll, sitting on the porch, is booked at in wonder. Everyone knows it is her first outing, but girls are too tenderhearted to make cruel comment. Evening brings out butterfly raiment on the girls—tulle and simple organdie and ribbons. The stiff silk imported costumes of the newly-rich girl suffer by comparison. Her parents cut their vacation short. On the next vacation they know what daughter should wear. ARE FLIRTATIONS DANGEROUS? So you think you love me, do you? Well, it may be so; But there's many a way of loving I have learnt to know. Having seen what looked most real Crumble into dust. Crumble into dust. Now I chose that test and trial Now I chose that test and trial Shall precede my trust. Are flirtations dangerous? That depends less on how it begins than on how it ends—whether the affections have been stirred, or—only friendship's waves have been rippling from a merry breeze. There are some women, happy of heart, fun loving and sensible, who could be brought into contact with the most pronounced, fascinating "hady killers" without experiencing an extravagant heart throb. There are others who were never intended, presumably, to have a beau who had no matrimonial intention, because they were sure to fall headlong in love although the man in the case stopped carefully at the crossroads of a mild flirtation. Such young women are really more to be pitied then censured, for the reason that their feminine intuition has led them far afield, as it were, leaving them unable to decide as to just what value to place on his whispered words or the lingering clasp of his hand. All women will tell you they go on their summer vacations for the sole purpose of gaining the benefit derived from a change of scene and air. While this is true, it is also quite true that the majority of winsome maidens are not averse to finding at the place they have chosen for recreation an agreeable, unattached young man who will also help them pass the vacation days pleasantly. If he pays a bevy or more of girls the same amount of attention, favoring one not more than the others, he is simply a very agreeable new acquaintance. If he singles one girl out, talking, walking, golfing, yachting, dancing with her almost exclusively, the busy-bodies will be burning with curiosity to discover whether it is a real heart affair or only a flirtation. Unwise is the girl who attaches more importance to his attentions than his conversation warrants. Pleasant companionship is one thing, tender sentiment quite another. The girl who is only intent upon a very slight flirtation should not lead a young man on or allow him to believe that his suit would meet with acceptance should he propose marriage. Men have hearts quite as susceptible to the tender passion as those that beat in women's bosoms. Where one or the other has "no future intentions" he or she should not monopolize entirely the society of the other. Flirtation is a dangerous game. Frankly acknowledged friendship—simply that but nothing more—is always wisest and best in the long run. It is by no means a compliment for a man or woman to become recognized as an acknowledged flirt. Many enter into a flirtation with a laugh on their lips which ends in a sigh or a tear. Not to Be Beaten. A Highlander who prided himself on being able to play one tune on the pipe, perched himself on the side of one of his native hills one Sunday morning and commenced blowing for all he was worth. Presently the minister came along and, going up to MacDougall with the intention of severely reprimanding him, asked in a very harsh voice, "MacDougall, do you know the Ten Commandments?" MacDougall scratched his chin for a moment and then, in an equally harsh voice, said: "Dye think you've beat me? Just whistle the first three or four bars, and I'll hae a try at it."—Youth's Companion. THE TULSA DAILY STAR TRAINING TODAY'S BOYS AND GIRLS When to Encourage and When to Neglect the Child. "CUNNING" AGE IS PERILOUS Little One Then Is Apt to Receive Too Much Attention, and Not Enough Later, When It Is Needed. By SIDONIE M. GRUENBERG. Every child is sometimes in need of encouragement, and every child can profit from wholesome neglect. But we are very likely to apply our neglect when sympathetic attention is most needed, and we are just as likely to bestow admiration at the very moment when calmly ignoring a child would do him the most good. A new baby is always interesting, and usually receives attention out of all proportion to his needs, and also out of all proportion to his special merits. Still, he may escape without receiving any real injury from the eyes and hands of doting friends and relatives. But when the child gets to the "cunning" age it is different, especially if he happens to be one of the "irresistible" kind. For then the child must receive all kinds of sense stimulations and opportunity to exercise his muscles. But there is no special need for him to become conscious of his own charms. Indeed the greatest charm of childhood, its utter unconsciousness, too quickly loses its bloom just because we find the cunning tricks and the awkward speech so irresistible. A mother of three was comparing notes with a mother of four. The first observed that the youngest had reached the point where she would call mother and nurse and the older children to witness everything she was doing. At first this was looked upon as just a little cunning trick, then it became a nuisance. Finally the mother began to have misgivings. Perhaps, she had thought, the child is getting too much notice. What had happened was that the child, having derived much satisfaction from the approving smiles and admiring remarks of the elders, had acquired the habit of depending upon these manifestations of affectionate regard for her own comfort and happiness. The mother feared that perhaps the child was becoming too conceited. The other mother had had a similar experience, but she thought that it was only the youngest child that passed through this stage. The youngest receives attention from the adults as did the older children, but he gets the same kind of attention from the older sisters and brothers. If the youngest child in the family is spoiled more frequently than any of the others, it is probably because of the overstimulation of his self-regard no less than because of the various indugences showered upon him by the other members of the household. He suffers for the want of an opportunity to work out some of his own problems in his own way. When the child gets to be in the neighborhood of nine or ten years, when all the cunningness of childhood has worn off and before the new interests of adolescence have made their Tearing Bessie's Book Was Readily Forgiven Because Jeanie Was So Young and Did Not Understand. appearance, he is likely to be least attractive. It is now that he reflects most completely the manners of the elders, and it has been observed that these reflections are not always of a most agreeable kind. One can, therefore, understand that people are likely to overlook the girl and boy at this period. If they are the older children in the family the younger ones take all of our attention. And if at this age they are the youngest the parents are likely to have grown somewhat weary and the novelty has worn off. Thus it happens that at the very time when the young child can find enough to keep him busy exploring the qualities of the objects and materials he finds about him we intrude upon his mind with irrelevant praise of his awkward performances in a manner that draws his attention from the outside world to his own feelings, his own likes and dislikes, his own moods. But later in life, when the child comes to be concerned with questions of mine and thine, when he is wondering about relations between man and the outside world, when he longs for the power to give expression to his uneasy stirrings, we leave him to his own resources, we let him flounder about as best he can, we allow him to take his disillusionments from the hands of unkind strangers and unkind accident. When sympathy and encouragement are most needed the supply is apparently exhausted. The demand that the youngest makes upon the other children must be considered chiefly from its effect upon the youngest. Bessie happened to be "sensible" and accommodating as a child, so that there was no difficulty whatever in getting her to make concessions to the younger Jeanie. Tearing Bessie's book was readily forgiven, because Jeanie was so young and did not understand. Bessie would take a dose of bitter medicine just to encourage Jeanie. Bessie stayed home from the picnic or the party because Jeanie would cry because left behind. Bessie divided her apple and her cake because Jeanie wanted more after consuming her own. If Bessie suffered from this excess of sacrifice and "considerateness" it was probably in the direction of becoming more and more indifferent to the things that a normal child should care about. But the injury to Jeanie was the cultivation of the attitude that took for granted the satisfaction of every desire and every whim. To have allowed Jeanie to cry after Bessie weft We Leave Him to His Own Resources; We Let Him Flounder Around as Best He Can! We Leave Him to His Own Resources; We Let Him Flounder Around as Best He Canl to her party, to have reprimanded her for injuring Bessie's property, to have left her without more cake after her own was enten, would have helped her more than the indulgences she received. A household consisting adults and children of various ages is a complex establishment to manage, and it takes thought and tact and insight to allot to each what is his due. And in considering what is due to children, we must not overlook their share of education—the education which comes through neglect and disappointment, as well as that which comes through sympathy and encouragement. MISSOURI MOTTO WORLDWIDE All Persons Want to Be Shown, Thus Proving Themselves Human Beings. The Connecticut youth who bit into a golf ball displayed a thoroughly human curiosity. He wished to prove for himself whether what he had heard about the deadillness of the core was true. From the time manufacturers began making the present style of ball they have warned people against its danger. A boy begins his experiments when against the admonitions of his parents he burns his fingers on a hot plate. He continues them when he takes his first watch to pieces to see how the wheels go round. A Californian, who declared that snake venom could not possibly be fatal to a man, recently permitted himself to be bitten by a newly discovered serpent scientists declared was deadly. He succeeded in proving that the snake expert was right. Many folks have always mistrusted sea stories about the man-eating proclivities of the shark. Before another year has passed there will be those who will insist on more proof than has just been furnished on the Jersey coast. The motto of Missouri is the motto not of a state, but of humanity. All want to be shown. Men undertake adventures in political, social and business life, risk their lives in scientific experiments in unknown, dangerous lands because they believe that they can succeed where others have failed. If they did otherwise they would not be human.—New York Sun. Japanese Politeness Mr. C. E. Donohone, the brilliant war correspondent, who succeeded in wiring the fullest and quickest description of the Portugal revolution by hiring a yacht and escaping from Lisbon to Vigo, was kept in Tokyo recently much longer than he wanted. He was making a survey of the East, intending to reach the Russian front via Serbin, and had trouble in making the difficult journey. He tells this story: "A little Japanese policeman who had been watching me glanced furtively at a conversation handbook, and then crossed and spoke in English: "How do you do," he said in careful tones, 'sir or madame, as the case may be?' Why Orchestras "Tune-Up." "Why?" asked a visitor to the theater the other day, "do members of the orchestra always worry people possessing nerves, like myself, by tuning up their instruments?" It is all a matter of thermometer, according to a musician. The temperature in different parts of the building is different and the instruments have to be tuned in the temperature of the place in which they are going to be played. As a rule, the air in a theater becomes warmer as the performance progresses and so the instruments have to be tuned several times. SHORT CIRCUIT LOOSE WIRE OPEN CIRCUIT GROUND EXPOSED WIRES SHORT AND GROUND RIGHT WRONG SHORT CIRCUIT BY ABRASION SEEK SHORT CIRCUIT Drivers Will Frequently Find Troubles in the Starting System Due to That. BRUSHES MAY BE AT FAULT In Any Event, Thorough Investigation Will Show That Blame Is Not With the Engine, but Caused by Neglect of Machine. Troubles in the starting system are indicated in two ways: First, the starter will not crank the engine at all, or, second, it cranks it so slowly that proper starting is not given. The first thought in either of these cases is that the battery may be partly or completely discharged or it may be operating at very low efficiency, due to very cold weather or some other cause. Coming back to the general head of when the starting motor will not crank the engine at all there are two causes, open circuits and short circuits or grounds. Open circuits on the cranking motor will be found at the brushes, in loose connections at the commutator starting switch or in the wiring. If at the brushes they may be worn too short or improperly adjusted. They may also stick in the holders, due to binding or dirt. Loose connections are obvious, the commutator troubles are the same as those for generators, the starting switch trouble is nearly always a failure of switch blades to make contact. Sometimes the switches are fused owing to racing. Under the head of short circuits and grounds, these can be divided under the general heads of those in the armature, those in the wiring and those at the starting switch. In the armature or field winding of the motor these may be either burned out or grounded. In the wiring a short circuit may exist due to rotted or worn insulation or a ground from rotted or worn insulation or from metal screw or clear connections which cut through the insulation, making a ground to one of the metal parts of the car. In the starting switch either a ground or short circuit may be found due to water soaking or otherwise defective insulation. After the battery condition has been looked after and the starting switch examined for poor contact, the remaining source of trouble is due to a drop in potential caused by a high resistance in the starting circuit. The brushes may not fit the commutator or have proper spring tension or may be poor, giving high resistance. The brush leads may also give poor contact. The same commutator troubles applying to the generator may exist or there may be loose connections in the starting motor wiring. Gas Car and Electric Combined Combining the utility of both a gasoline and an electric motor car, a new dund power passenger car recently put on the market by a western manufacturer may be run by either gasoline or electricity, or both, thus retaining the great mileage ability of the gas car and at the same time the simplicity of the electric. The power plant of this unique vehicle consists of a small gasoline motor and an electric power generator combined in one unit under a conventional hood forward of the dash, and a storage battery carried beneath the rear seats.—Popular Science Monthly. Bear Jogs Along Before Auto. On his way to Benton, Edward Fallon of Danville, Pa., in his automobile was stopped by a full-grown black bear, which trotted slowly along the road in front of the machine, stopping every few feet. After keeping in the road 100 yards the animal went over a bank into the woods. Within a week four black bears, three of them good sized, have been seen in that vicinity. PAGE SEVEN ARTING SYSTEM. OPEN CIRCUIT SHORT AND GROUND RIGHT WRONG and Open Circuits and Grounds. BURNING OUT CYLINDER METHOD OF REMOVING CARBON DOES NO HARM. Precautions, of Course, Must Be Taken—Better, Always, to Prevent Accumulation of Carbon. "Will the burning of oxygen in the cylinder of an auto, to remove the carbon, injure the aluminum pistons?" is one of the questions frequently asked the engineering extension department of Iowa State college. The answer given by R. A. Leavell, automobile expert of the college, is that it will not. Exhaustive experiments on this subject have just been completed by one of the most reliable auto manufacturing companies and not one instance was found where the aluminum pistons suffered from this treatment. Where the cylinder heads are detachable, the removal of the carbon is an easy matter. But with the older cars and others where they are not removable, the carbon is often removed by burning out with oxygen gas. If the operator takes the precaution of turning the crank until both valves in the cylinder which is to be burned out are closed, no harm will be done. The spark plug should be removed and if necessary the hole closed with an old plug, since the intense heat of the burning carbon would burn off the points and crack the porcelain. It is better to prevent the accumulation of carbon than to have to remove it. If once a week or every 500 miles a half teacup of kerosene is poured into each cylinder while yet warm from running and allowed to soak all night, it will loosen the carbon and will leave no harmful effects if the motor is cranked over by hand a few turns with the priming cups open or the spark plugs out to expel the excess of kerosene before any attempt is made to use the starter or run the engine.

The hand is made of brown celluloid, with the fingers outstretched as if in an attitude of warning; it is fastened over the bulb of an electric flash light which is so constructed that the whole of the translucent casing is evenly illuminated; at night it can be seen a distance of 300 feet. It has been suggested as useful for traffic officers who are on duty at night. In an emergency the celluloid portion can be removed and the lamp used as an ordinary flash light.--Popular Mechanics Magazine.

It was the utterance of a man and a political party conscious of the honesty of past endeavors and confident of ability to cope with whatever problems the future might have in store. No President has ever been called upon to face more serious conditions than has Mr. Wilson. He has met them with patience and devotion that have won the respect and admiration of the world. With domestic legislation to direct, giving the relief from economic abuses that the country's welfare demanded, with a long list of promises to fulfill, the great war that burst upon the world threatened to check him in his efforts and to involve the nation in the disasters that are afflicting almost every nation of the old world. How he has brought the country through it all, with honor and with astounding prosperity, the acceptance speech succinctly and modestly tells. In three and a half years the country has been set aright, every class protected in its liberties and its opportunities, the whole commercial system set in order, with prosperity abounding. And reason has never abandoned its throne in all of the country's perplexities. The speech was a message to the people of all the world; it was a notice to the world that this country is big enough to maintain its honor and to keep out of war, and at the same time big enough to regulate its domestic conditions. The speech was no apology, no defense, no complaint. It was a speech that all men and women should read to learn what the country has really been doing.

Congressman C. C. Dill, of Washington, cites the records of the committee hearings on suffrage in Congress to prove that "the only Congressmen who have gone before the Judiciary Committee of Congress this year to ask that a suffrage amendment be voted upon have been Democratic members." He adds that "no others have appeared to ask for consideration of the measure. That is, I think, sufficient answer to any claim that the Democratic Party opposed Woman Suffrage." This record need only be supplemented with the personal voting history of the rival Presidential candidate to show who is the real friend of suffrage. President Wilson made two trips from Washington to New Jersey to register and vote for Woman Suffrage when it was submitted in his State. Candidate Hughes did not take the trouble to register or to vote the same years—1915—when the suffrage amendment was submitted in his state. “There is no means of judging the future except by assessing the past. Constructive action must be weighed against destructive comment and reaction.” — From President Wilson's Speech of Acceptance. --- The Advertised Article is one in which the merchant himself has implicit faith—else he will not advertise it.

RESISTED WAR PRESSURE Determined That America's Sister Republic Shall Be Permitted to Work Out Its Problem of Freedom and Self-Government. "President Wilson's faith in democracy, and the unselfishness of the United States in international dealings, have been strikingly expressed in his Mexican policy. "The President's demand for Mexico is—Justice." The larger phases of the relations of the United States with Mexico during President Wilson's Administration as well as an interesting and complete narrative of events are presented authoritatively in the Mexican chapter of the Democratic National Text Book, from which these quotations are made: "Two considerations have animated the President in the formulation of his Mexican policy and have compelled his adherence to it throughout his Administration, namely: "The firm conviction that all nations, both the weak and the powerful, have the inviolable right to control their internal affairs. "The belief, established upon the history of the world, that Mexico will never become a peaceful and law-abiding neighbor of the United States until she has been permitted to achieve a permanent and basic settlement of her troubles without outside interference. "The Mexican problem in its present form has existed for the American Government ever since our frontier was extended to the Rio Grande. When the people maintained the peace it was because they were forced to do so, and not because Justice reigned in the land. Thus it was that the history of Mexico, like the history of every aspiring people, pressed upon President Wilson's consideration the truth that no permanent good relations could exist between this great Northern Republic and the one immediately South of us until she had been left free to put her house in order, however painful that process might be and whatever the demands it might make upon the forbearance of the United States." "There was a powerful pressure for war—a terrible war—by a well-armed powerful nation against an unarmed, bankrupt people exhausted by five years of civil strife, but who still retained enough of patriotic feeling to unify them against an invader. It was the old, old question whether the United States should impose a peace on Mexico; whether, for the sake of the interests of a few of its citizens, it should permanently suppress Mexico's upreaching toward freedom and self-government." * FOR SERVICES RENDERED * NOT PROMISES BROKEN "I do not doubt that the people of the United States will wish the Democratic party to continue in control of the government. They are not in the habit of rejecting those who have actually served them for those who are making doubtful and conjectural promises of service. Least of all are they likely to substitute those who promised to render them particular services and proved false to that promise for those who have actually rendered those very services."—From President Wilson's Speech of Acceptance. 150 TPE 0 © PASCH BROZ Phone 4710 Lady in Attendance The Jackson=Brown Undertaking Company OPEN DAY AND NIGHT.

Advertising a Sale! YOU don't leave your rig in the middle of the road and go to a fence-post to read a sale bill do you? Then don't expect the other fellow to do it. Put an ad in this paper, then, regardless of the weather the fellow you want to reach reads your announcements while seated at his fireside. If he is a prospective buyer you'll have him at your sale. One extra buyer often pays the entire expense of the ad, and it's a poor ad that won't pull that buyer. An ad in this paper reaches the people you are after. Bill may be a necessity, but the ad is the thing that does the business. Don't think of having a special sale without using advertising space in this paper. One Extra Buyer at a sale often pays the entire expense of the ad. Get That Buyer ---
