Colored People Are Dissatisfied With Schools!
GENERAL WAVE OF DISSATISFACTION GROWS AMONG COLORED POPLE OF STATE AGAINST SEPARATE SCHOOL LAW.
There is an apparent wave of dissatisfaction spreadong among Many Hardships Worked on Colored Schols Because of the Law. the colored people of Oklahoma because of the separate school law of this state and in all probability a fight against this law will be waged in the near future. The colored schols of the state, as a rule, are below the standard and according to the opinion of those familiar with the Oklahoma school laws, colored people in the larger cities are taxed for the support of schols from which their children receive no benefit because the law puts all colored schols in charge of the County Commissioners and the County Superintendent, the salaries of the teachers and the maintenance of the schools for colored children coming from this source. Often in the cities bonds are voted for school improvement and the colored people are taxed for such improvement when in fact the yderive no benefit therefrom. In many places in the state the term of the colored schols are cut short some times as much as six months and the County Commissioners give as their reason that there is not enough funds for the colored schools. But in these counties the white schools always run the full nine months. Recently in McIntosh colony at Eufaula, the colored schols were ordered to run two months and close, but the nolored people here appealed to the County Judge and he ordered the Commissioners to allow the school to run at least three months. The white shols in McIntosh will all run the full nine months.
These conditions have become unbearable to the colored patrons and they are planning to start a vigorous fight against it. Eiforts will be made to have the law repealed at the next session of the legislature and another law enacted which will guarantee equity in the school facilities and accommodations.

MOB SEEKS WHITE MAN WHO ASSAULTED YOUNG GIRL
FEAR IS EXPRESSED THAT JUDGE LYNCH WILL SIT 1F MAN IS CAUGHT
STILLWELL, Okla., Sept. 28th.—Bloodhounds from Fort Smith, Ark., are tonight leading a posse through the mountains at Dutchmills, five miles east of here, in pursuit of an unknown white man who shortly before noon criminally assaulted Nannie Jordan, 15 year old daughter of a farmer.
The girl was grabbed by a man as she was walking within forty feet of her home. She was dragged into the underbrush. The affair has arroused the community to high pitch and a lynching is feared if the girl's assailant is caught
Permanant Organization to be Perfected Next Week
Permanant Organization to be Perfected Next Week
OKLAHOMA CITY, Ckla, Sept. 28.
A temporary Colored State Democratic League was formed here Monday afternoon. Only a few of the leaders in the State movement were in person, but a number were there by aprexy.
The object of this organization is to bring about better conditions for the race in Oklahoma and to do this through the Democratic Party. The permanent organization will be prefected in this city Wednesday October 11. Colored editors of the State will meet here on that day and it will be said the political situation in Oklahoma will be come into at length by the editors on both sides of the fence.
BURBANK OUT FOR WILSON.
"THE GREATEST STATESMAN"
Announcing his support of President Wilson, Luther Burbank, the horticulturist wizard of California, said: "I believe him to be the greatest statesman we have ever had."
Mr. Burbank, the Edison of scientific horticulture, declared that without reserve he endorsed the position announced a week earlier by Thomas A. Edison. Both Burbank and Edison have been life-long Republicans. Edison put it this way:
"Times are too serious to talk in terms of Republicanism or Democracy. When it's America that is at stake men have got to vote as Americans. A fool or a coward would have had the United States in all sorts of trouble. As it is, we are at peace, the country was never more prosperous, and we have the strength that comes with honor and integrity of purpose."
AN ANTI-CAMPAIGN?
As a candidate Mr. Hughes has not yet come up to expectations. The trouble is that he has not yet told the American people positively and concretely just what he proposes to do if elected President. The American people want to know what constructive program Mr. Hughes has to offer them. They demand of a leader a demonstration of leadership. There is a serious danger that the Republican candidate may become an "anti." And it never pays in this world to be an anti-anything.—The Independent.
Shadow Lawn is a residence for the next few weeks, will give its or ocupant an opportunity to get accustomed to the after-election gloom.
FARMERS IGNORED BY REPUBLICANS
But Democratic Administration Quickly Gave Them Justice in Rural Credits.
Don't forget Mr. Farmer, that through your Farmers' National Congress, National Grange, National Farmers' Union, American Society of Equity, and similar organizations you have for years demanded and have imported Republican administrations for legislation you needed.
WHAT DID YOU GET?
Through all the years since 1864 the Republican Party was deaf and blind to the farmer's financial needs. This in the face of the fact that successful systems of Rural Credits were in operation throughout Europe for a century. When this great Democratic measure was put to vote in the Senate on May 4, 1916, only five Republicans dared vote against it! Three of them were on the sub-committee who wrote the Republican Platform of 1916.
Was it because you were not Big Interests? You were, many of you, highly financed, and High Finance held the mortgage—and to that extent you belagged to High Finance. But you paid big interest to associate with Big Interests. A stack of wheat wasn't as good collateral as a sheaf of scraps of paper held by a stock gambler. Nor did the Political Bosses of the Republican Party care to give you financial justice. They were too busy "protecting" themselves.
THE PROMISES OF THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM OF 1912 — written in courage and honesty and with sympathetic understanding of the needs of every honest American interest—HAVE BEEN KEPT.
The Republican Party refused to do these things, which the prosperity of the American Farmer required.
The Republican presidential candidate, Charles E. Hughes, denounces the Democratic party and President Wilson for having done these things.
Where Does Your Interest Lie?
(From Farmers' Panphlet Issued by the Democratic National Committee.)
BURLESON'S "THREE STRIKE"
"The Democratic party seems to have enough capacity to run the Post Office Department. Postmaster General Burleson has deposited a check for $320,000 with Secretary McAdoo holding the profits of the fiscal year of 1813."
Sounds like a Democratic campaign orater, doesn't it?
But it isn't; it is the Phladelphia Public Ledger, a paper that is supporting Hughes, telling its host of readers about merely one of the deeds of the Wilson Administration.
Continues the Ledger;
"The Secretary of the Treasury piles that his department has experienced the sensation of receiving a political surplus only three times, and these three times have been under the Administration of President Wilton and Mr. Burleson. But we have no hope that this will satisfy Mr. Hughes. He will tell the next audience he gets hold of that the service is not nearly so good as it used to be when Postmaster Generals were Republicans and there was a deficit every year, the amount being something over $17,000,000."

Interest Revived in Booker T. Memo Fund
Cotton Prices Cause Response From Rural School's Mass Meetings Arranged in Cities—Bap. tist Convention Urghes Support to Fund
Tuskogee Institute, Ala., Sept 22,—With the coming of fall and the passing of hot weather, the country is outlining down to hard work Schools are crowded to capacity and business offices are looking forward to a year of prosperity. This is election year and cotton is being at sixteen cents. Loyal men and women of the race are, as a consequence of these conditions, again turning their attention to the brooker T. Washington Memorial Fnud. Voluntary letters are beginning n to come in pledging contributions and outlining arrangements for mass meetings which will hold in various parts of the country this fall
Quite a number of rural schools which closed last spring before April in, the day set aside for school children to give to the Fund, have asked to be premitted to raise collections this fall. These teachers in infinitely keeping their promises and have written to say that they will send in larger sums than they first thought possible because of the generally better conditions which prevail now in the country districts as against those of the early spring, when there was so much talk of panky times. It is hoped that other teachers of city and rural schools who for one reason or another failed to lift collections from school children last spring will not fail to do so tails fall.
The Memorial Fund Committees in various cities which held over their mass meetings and active civil as until fall are in many instances getting effective work done in bringing the colored people to the duty of responding to this appeal for one-eighth of the Two-Million Dollar Memorial Fund to perpetuate the work of the late Booker T. Washington — that is, $250,000.
Of the sum which the white people were asked to give to this Fund they have given more than half, while the colored people have not yet given one-fifth of the amount they were asked to give.
The colored people of Baltimore, Maryland, have pledged themselves to raise ONE PER CENT OF THE AMOUNT TO BE GIVEN BY THE COLORED PEOPLE. This will be $2,500. Deciding upon a denifite amount to be raised is one of the important things, because it outlines for the people just the amount or work they have before them. Besides it gives poise and dignity to the campaign in a city and affords better opportunity for organizing. At the monster mass meeting which they will have in Baltimore on November 18th, there will be an excellent program and on that date the churches, schools, fraternal organizations, nd the clubs and societies of various sorts will make their returns, following a whirlwind campaign of the city. Harry T Pratt, Dean William Pickens and other prominent Baltimore letters to Tuskogee Institute recitizens have written most encouragarding the outlook for a successful effort
In his annual address before the National Baptist Convention which met at Savannah, Georgia, during the week of September 4th, Dr E. C. Morris, the president, called upon the members of the convention and the prominent men and women of the race to help raise this $250,000 from among the colored people. Dr Morr's said: The National Baptist Convention will greatly honor itself if the hundreds of prominent leaders who are gathered here will throw the full weight of their influence into the efforts now being made to raise our part of the Two-Million-Dollar Memorial Fund to perpetuate the work founded by Dr

‘The open trap through which the

where Lund’s manacled feet rested
upon the floor, On the wall above him
he noticed an electric switch.
Chockro stood where he could look
down into the open trap, reach out his
hand and touch the switch, or face
about and address his taunts to young
Lund without further effort than to
turn his body by a slight movement
of his feet upon the floor,
“I've got your girl ina trap, and I'll
pay you both off at once,” Chockro
fairly shouted, “Ill turn the water in
and let you listen while she drowns.”
Young Lund desperately tugged at

threat and as Chockro reached over
and threw down the handle of the
electric switch, the sound of rushing
water came to Lund’s eara,
Peg screamed in terror, Chockro

with flendish derision. Lund writhed
upon the floor, and to Chockro his ef

them into the yard and scattered them
{nto tndividual searching parties.
While the counterfeiters were beat:
ing back and forth among the piles of
lumber, Peg was making her way
swiftly, but cautiously, out of the maze
of timbers which served her so well as
shelter and also effectively to baie
her pursuers, She soon found herself
at the end of the lumber yard and
near & network of railroad tracks, upon
which freight cars stood in long rows.
On she ran, out into the railroad
‘yard, and made her way among the
‘cars. She fled without purpose other
than to escape her pursuers, but kind:
ly fato was guiding her steps. As she
rounded the end of a long row of cars
her delighted gaze suddenly fell upon
the circus train, lying on the opposite
side of the main Hine of tracks.
When Peg dashed into the sleeper
where she hoped to find Flip, the car
was crowded with performers.
Old Flip was seated on the edge of
his berth. He had been out all night
searching around the lot, inquiring
about Peg from everyone he met, and
had Just returned to the show train,
“utterly discouraged, ‘Tho other per.
formers were trying to comfort the
‘disconsolate old clown when Peg
dashed through the door of the car
and with a wild ery of joy threw her
self into the arms of her daddy,”
Their fond embrace was of short du-
ration, for Peg made haste to tell, in
brief and excited sentences, of her
adventures in “The House of Mystery.”
She begged the show people to follow
her back to the counterfeiters’ den and
Fescue the person, whoever he might
be, that was being held prisoner there.
Flip insisted that Peg stay close te
him as the party dashed across the
freight yards in the early morning

the athletic showmen threw them
selves against the panels and burst the
door from its hinges.
Then the rescuers crowded into the
house and followed close to Peg as
she cautiously directed progress to-
ward the room where young Lund was
still lying, bound helpless, on the floor,
‘Thus tho rescuing party found the
object of their search, and quick prog
ross was made in lovsening the rope
that bound Lund so securely, When
the show folks were about to retrace
their steps, Chockro and his gang
burst in upon them, running pell mell
down a short flight of stairs, and en-
gaging the rescuers in a rough-and.
tumble fight, The counterfeiters were
matched in strength by the athletic
circus performers, and the battle was
proceeding recklessly when matters
‘suddenly took an utterly unlooked-tor
turn,
‘Four men with drawn revolvers ap:
peared at the head of the stairs, down
which the counterfeiters had just
rushed to pounce updn the showmen,
and the loader of the new arrivals
sharply commanded the combatants to
hold up their hands.
“We are members of the secret
service,” declared the leader of the
new arrivals, "Nobody leaves this
room until they stand a search.” Then
the officers proceeded to make all
hands identify themselves,
‘Tho circus crowd easily explained
their presence, Chockro had sent his
gang into the fray and then, without
risking his own skin, had made his
getaway. Taking the counterfeiters
with them, the secret servico men left
the house, and permitted the circus
people to return to their train,
When young Lund and Peg emerged,
with the show folks, from “The House
of Mystery,” the young doctor, Peg
and Flip walked slowly along tn a
Uttle group by themselves, As they
proceeded toward the show train
Lund and Peg briefly compared and
gave Fitp the benefit of their combined
experiences.
By the time the circus folk had re
turned to the show cars, young Lund
had decided upon his immediate plans.
He told Peg and Fiip that he would go
home, for a few dvys, ax his father
would probably want to advise with
him about the futers of the show.

When Mrs, Lund returned home
from her hurried automobile trip to
the counterfeiting den she owned and
controlled, she was greatly surprised
to be informed by the butler that
Chockro had returned during her ab-
sence, and left word that he had an
important letter to give her.
‘This information came to her early
in the morning following the fire at
the circus, and only a few hours after
sho had reached home from her all-
night ride, She was passing through
the entrance hall, on her way to make
preparations again to go to “The
House of Mystery,” when she heard
Doctor Lund in conversation with
someone in the library.
Mrs. Lund stealthily approached the
door and listened while her husband
talked with Jack Boygne, the man he
had sent to the circus for the letter
Flip possessed—the very letter that
Mrs, Lund had reason to believe was
right then safe in the possession of
Chockro, her Hindw servant.
“How could I get the letter,” she
heard Jack Boygne exclaim, “when the
circus burnt up? ‘There was so much
ere that I couldn't do a thing
on the letter Job.”
| “I don't care if the show did burn,
[the letter means more to me than the
Jcireus does,” said Doctor Lund,
“You've got to get that letter, I tell
you—and just to give you another
chance T'll newly outfit the show and
open ft again right away.”
Mrs, Lund indulged in a smile of
quiet satisfaction as she passed on
upstairs to her room. When she was
leaving the house to take her automo
bile, Doctor Lund and Jack Boygne
departed through another door and
took the train for the disabled circus
With all speed Mra, Lund proceeded
again to “The House of Mystery.”
When Mra, Lund reached the parlor
sho intuitively felt that she was being
followed. When she closed the door.
after entering, she sensed that some
one had observed her.
She immediately suspected that her
counterfeiting operations had been
traced to headquarters,
There was but one way out—the
chance that men were still in the op-
erating room to work the secret ele-
vator, The chair stood in its accus-
tomed place in the middle of the
room.
Mrs. Lund seated herself and pressed
the signal. Luck was with her, for
the trap began to slowly descend, Once
she had disappeared through the par-
lor floor, the opening to the trap was
mechanically closed, by the trick sub-
stitution of another chair and section
of the floor,
Mrs, Lund descended to the lower
level, passed through the secret en-
trance and was safely out of the den
when the secret service operatives,
who thought they had her trapped, en-
tered the parlor and found the room
deserted.
‘They left the house, assembled the
prisoners they had under guard among
the lumber piles and departed,
And as the officers and their prison-
ers walked down the street, Mrs, Lund
passed them in her swift automobile.
‘That afternoon Doctor Lund arrived
to discuss with his manager the ar-
rangements for reopening his circus.
Doctor Lund commissioned his man-
ager to work out the details of reju-
venating the circus. All of the stock
and trained animals were safe, and
much of the regular equipment of the
show had been rescued from the
flames.
It was decided to haul the circus
train to Doctor Lund’s home town and
there equip the circus anew, Tole
grams were sent to the tentmakers
for a new equipment of canvas, Or
ders were wired to replace the seats,
lights and miscellaneous property that
the fire had destroyed.
‘The owner of the show left on the
first train for home, and the next day
the circus cars arrived at winter quar.
ters soon to be sent upon the road for
& now start. Notification was given
to the advance forces to change the
exhibition dates in various towns, and
to route the show for the rest of the
season, taking the new opening date
‘as the basis of caloulations, =
al method of individual life at home,
Just as though nothing had happened.
Mr. and Mrs, Lund either knew or sue
pected the game the other was play-
ing. Neither of them ventured even &
word to their son regarding his briet
absence from home, There was an
open truce of three-cornered dimen-
sions in the Lund mansion.
Young Lund resumed his athletic
training under his instructor, Jack
Boygne and exercised his accustomed
freedom of action in his daily life.
With a desire to avold scandal of gos-
sip in his home town, young Lund
dented himself the pleasure of Peg's
soclety.
He made one trip to winter quarters, |
where everybody was busy with the
new equipment, and although he made
no special effort to find or communt-
cato with Peg, there won eagerness In
his gaze an be watched for the girl he
loved. Young Lund did n.< know that,
for the purpose of avoiding complica-
tlons, Flip had prevailed upon Peg to
go with him to quiet resort in the
country and rest the few days that
they would be at liberty.
Peg consented rather reluctantly—
and Filp understood why. Ho soothed
her with his fatherly caresses and told
her that the days would quickly pass
and insisted that rest, after her ex-
citing experiences, would be vastly
beneficial, And, accordingly, they re-
paired to a qutet resort In the vicinity
where Peg immensely enjoyed her
restful vacation and once more be-
came her natural, buoyant and ingenw-
ous self,
‘The opening performance of the re-
Labilitated show was little more than
& tryout of the equipment. The new
catuvas was raised and “rehearsed”
‘The big working organization was te
assembled and the places of those who
had wandered away during the layoff
were filled. For it was coming har-
vest time in the surrounding country
and higher wages than the circus paid
were attractive to some of the “razor
backs” and workingmen tn minor po-
sitions.
Doctor Lund ordered that there
should be only one performance and
that the show should begin earlier
than customary in the evening—for he
had planned to give another party to
celebrate the reopening of his show.
‘The “towners” (as circus folk call
people who are not connected with the
show) decided that Doctor Lund was
“becoming eccentric.” ‘The stirring
ovents that marked the lawn party he
had just previously given were fresh
in memory.
Fip, among all the performers in
the show, took the announcement of
the festivities seriously. ‘To the oth
ers it meant another jolly night—for
they were all too sympathetlc to refer
to Peg's unhappy affliction and the dis-
tressing incident occasioned by her at
tack of convulsions at the first Lund
party. But Filp had been too keenly
affected by the circumstances to look
upon the coming event with anything
short of apprehensive dread,
Peg, lighthearted and gay, heard
the announcement with real delight.
Completely restored in health, nerves
and spirit by her brief rest, the girl
could see nothing but an evening of
pleasure in prospect. And then, too,
“ne” would be there!
This last confession of her inmost
thoughts Peg made to no one but
herself. Sho had even avoided dis-
cussing young Doctor Lund with Fiip
save only when the old clown insisted.
But Fiip understood, and realized with-
out his little girl telling him that she
dearly loved the handsome young
physiclan—and Flip wondered how it
would all end.
The reopening of the show passed
off without unusual tneident, so well
fare such organizations usually man-
aged and equipped. Everything worked
smoothly and as far as the actual per-
formance was concerned there was
nothing to indicate that the tour had
| been interrupted. The performers
were glad to be in harness again, and
there was an atmosphere of happiness
| and satisfaction on every hand.
| ‘Tho Lund mansion was again bril-
Mantly lighted and the grounds deco-
|| rated for the celebration: Most of the
guests who had been in attendance up-
| on Doctor Lund’s previous party were
again assembled. Tho circus people
Jarrived soon after tho performance
had concluded, and with dancing, mu-
| ste and gayety the affair was progress-
| ing splendidly,
‘An observant person would have dis.

One of the men, talking for ail
three, said in reply to Doctor Lund’s
demands for an explanation:
“We are secret service operatives
and our visit here is the result of our
having received this letter, by special
delivery, only a few hours ago.”
Taking the letter in hand, Doctor
Lund read: “It you will be at the clr
cus party at Doctor Lund’s tonight you
will find the ringleader of the counter.
felters.” ‘There was no signature.
Doctor Lund was astounded. He
protested that there could be no Ike
Mhood of truth in the assertion con-
veyed in the letter. But the secret
service men were insistent, and thelr
actions and loud talk attracted the at-
tention of the guests. In a twinkling
there was an atmosphere of suppressed
excitement everywhere, ‘The dancing
stopped, the musicians ceased playing,
and the guests began to gather in
groups around the excited men.
Young Lund and Peg had left thetr
seclusion in the conservatory and were
on the point of indulging in a dance
af
merge Her.
when the music stopped. They noticed
the crowd around Doctor Lund and the
three strangers, and quickly joined
the group of curious and excited
guests.
From another room Mrs. Lund en-
tered, and working her way through
the group crowding around Doctor
Lund and the secret service men, soon
caught the drift of the discussion. Her
face blanched for an instant, and then,
by an effort recovering her self-pos-
session, Mrs. Lund safd in a command-
ing voice:
“Doctor Lund, why don't you have
these intruders bodily ejected from the
house. They have no right to come
here in this way and disturb our
guests.”
Before Doctor Lund could make re-
ply the spokesman for the sect t serv-
ice officers responded:
“We are officers of the law, come
here to find tho leader of a gang of
counterfeiters, and we are going to
stay here until we are rendy to leave.
‘The first person to lay a hand upon
one of us does so at bis peril.”
And threo revolvers were whipped
from the pockets of the officers in @
simultaneous move,
Peg screamed, as if in terror at the
sight of the revolvers. Old Flip sprang
to her side, his face paling with ap-
prehension, He looked at his watch—
it was close to the midnight hour,
“Do be careful, eg dear,” said Fup,
“don't excite yourself, We must hur
ry away from here.” And he attempt-
ed to gently draw her aside, with the
intention of leading her from the
room.
But it was too late. Peg’s voice
raised to a hysterical scream as she
cried:
“I sent a letter to the secret sory
fee, Doctor Lund, A member of your
family {s the head of a gang of coun-
erfeiters.” Then the circus girl
laughed wildly, as Flip struggled to
restrain her.
‘The secret service men were quick
to reach Peg’s side, Doctor Lund’s
unfelgned astonishment made him
speechless under the girl's accusation.
Mrs, Lund’s face was drawn instinc-
tively into hard, set lines, as she stood
within a few feet of the excited girl,
rigid as a statue,
“Who do you mean?” the officer
shouted, putting bis hand on Peg’
shoulder with a rough clesp.
‘When the secret service operative
grabbed Peg, young Lund got into ac-
tion, He struck the forearm of the
officer, loosening bis hold upon the
girl, and shouted:
“Keep your hands off that girl, you
big bully. I'm able to protect her
from your kind.”
Peg’s hysteria was now at its
height. Poor olf Flip tried with
what strength he had to restrain her,
but her natural vitality, augmented by
the nervous ferocity of her affiction,
made the old clown's efforts utterly
useless,
‘The girl screamed again and again,
striking out with her hands and feet
after the manner her attacks usually
took effect, and before young Lund
could realize her purpose, she caught
him by the hair of the head and vigor-
ously shook him back and forth, de
spite bis struggles to resist.
‘Then she threw him from her grasp
and pointing an accusing finger
straight at young Lund the girl cried
out:
“There is your man! He ts the ead-
er of the counterfeiters.”
‘Then Peg gave one me wild hye
terical laugh, and swooned in Fly's
arms.

Labor Warfare Destroys Industry Which
Gives Life to Employers and Workers
By ETHELBERT STEWART
Chief Statistician, U.S, Bureau of Labor Statistics
‘There can be no industrial peace until both sides to a labor argu-
dnent want industrial peace, and when both sides really want peace, and
not a fight, a settlement is bound to come. There must be concession on
both sides and a willingness on both sides to abide by a settlement. But,
unfortunately, in America it seems that there is a large class of men,
by no means confined either to the laboring or to the capitalistic class,
who prefer fighting, for its own sake, to industrial peace and all that
such peace means,
Back in 1886 the Stove Foundrymen and the Tron Molders’ union
locked horns with the manufacturers in the stove industry. It began with
the Bridge Beach strike in St. Louis, and soon involved the entire cour
try. They fought until both sides were utterly exhausted and each had
barely a single breath left. Finally both sides used that last breath to
say, “Let us forget it.” They saw that if they did not stop then and stop
forever, the stove industry would go to pieces, and for the salvation of
the industry to which they all owed life they came together, settled their
differences, appointed committees of arbitration from both sides, and
established machinery for the settlement of all disputes that might pose
sibly arise in the future. Each year since that time these’ committees
have met and adjusted amicably all the differences in the stove industry.
However, that is the only industry in the United States which has
Deen at peace for thirty years; the only industry which apparently has
searned that warfare is destructive, not so much to the individuals who
participate in it, as it is destructive to the very industry itself. When
that fact is once firmly grasped by all strikers and by all lockers-out,
the labor disturbances will depreciate astoundingly,
Work of Clubs Is Chiefly Responsible
for Awakening Among Women of Country
By MPS. GRACE JULIAN CLARKE of Indianapolis Z
Clubs are largely roupousille for the wonderful awakening among
women all over the land. Through clubs women have come to a realiza-
tion of themselves and of other women, also of the conditions of life
arownd them, ‘They see many ways in which they could help to bring
about wholesome changes but for the “sex distinction,” which the grant-
ing of equal suffrage will go far toward wiping out. ‘The time will doubt-
Jess come when there will be no longer any need of women’s clubs, and
they will then cease to exist. But L very much doubt if the millennium
is near.
Women must go forward at their own gait—not just as men, or
any set of men, prescribe. ‘They have many things to learn, things that
men cannot teach them, and it seems to me they must work out some
problems by themselves, in clubs and federations. ‘Their long journey
along a road beset with every conceivable difficulty and discouragement
has sharpened their wits and made them peculiarly apt in some directions.
Gradually they will take their places alongside of men in all departments
of life, but for some time to come there will be plenty of work for clubs
of women.
When equal suffrage is an accomplished fact all over the country
there will still be ample opportunity for usefulness on the part of clubs
and federations. In clubs women learn the value of art, music and litera-
ture in community life; they study about conservation, civil service
reform, city problems, all that relates to children, and the care of the
sick, insane and criminal. It is very important that the citizen-mothers
of the future have such training schools as clubs afford for the considera-
tion of all questions that women must help to solve.
Great Growth of Foreign Trade Is
Building Up U.S. Merchant Marine
Chi of Fela Bee of Prete OS Ooo Cosrn
‘There is nothing wrong with our foreign trade, We have been going
into the foreign markets and getting our share of the trade of the world.
We have passed from the class of nations which are dispensers of raw
materials to the class of manufacturing nations, ‘Before the war we
stood third as an exporter of commodities, ‘Today we have three times
the trade of any other nation in the world
Our merchant marine has increased more during the last two years
than it had during the 50 years previous, Our shipyards are working to
their capacity and are turning out an astounding number of vessels. ‘The
fact that we had a small merchant marine has handicapped our foreign
trade somewhat during the war, but we are gaining and our laws are
becoming such that we can build up @ great shipping industry.
Up to the present the bulk of American foreign trade has been sold
abroad by indirect agencies. ‘The most important of these are export
commission houses, export merchants and manufacturers’ agents, For-
eign trade is no mystery. It is similar to domestic trade. It requires a
well-planned and organized policy or establishment of permanent prices,
and an attempt to adapt the products to the needs of the customer,
Conscription a Noble Word if It Can
Be Made Synonymous With Citizenship
By DR. JOHN H. FINLEY
‘Cowmissioner of Education, State of New York
Tam wishing that everybody might be conscripted to give some serv-
ice to the state, under a plan of national constructive preparedness ; that
every selfish luxury and waste and indulgence be commandeered, every
useful skill and science and art and industry be called to the colors
periodically, and a general mobilization for the common defense of our
ideals be compelled by our vision of an America that has a mission
beyond commercialized supremacy.
I would make “conscript” a noble word by making it synonymous
with “citizen” in a republic with a mission and an ideal worth fighting
for. ‘Till that time comes, may every, American man do what every
Cambridge student has done, conscript himself, and each one offer to his
country the best that he has to give. And may American institutions
do what Cambridge has done, not await government mobilization but
mobilize themselves.

(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
No furming people have ever been
able economically to maintain the fer:
tility of their soils without the use of
live stock, Farming without the use
of manures Is a waste of energy and
results In the exhaustion of soils. The
heglect In preserving und inereastng
the quantity of farm manures has re
sulted ina great drain on the natural
resources of the American farm, es
pecully in the southern part of the
United States. ‘The luck of intelligent
care of the waste products and. the
conventent form of commercial fertil
{ers huve Jointly been responsible for
the almost general neglect of farm
manures, A much greater value ean
be hud from commerclal fertitizers
when used wisely in connection with
lianure and green crops.
‘The use of barnyard manure ts the
Lest means of improving the condition
of the soils, and the Importance of
carefully preserving all the manure
products on the farm for Judieioux use
‘on the cultivated flelds cannot be too
strongly Impressed on the furmers..
One of the principal reasons for the
small value sometimes realized from
manure of any kind Ix that It has not
been properly handled and through
exposure und neglect ha lost a lurge
percentage of Its plant food. Prob-
ably from 75 to 90 per cent of the
fertilizing value of a crop is left in
the manure after passing through the
animal. Since the fertilizer in soluble
form und the manure quickly begin to
ferment with loss of nitrogen, we
have some idea of why It Is of the
utmost importante to protect the
manure supply from leaching by rains,
excessive fermentation, or from other
sources of lows,
The Cornell university experiment
statiow found that ax much ax 60 per
cent of the plant-food constituents: In
manure may be lost by lenehing and
unnecessary fermentation. The prob-
Jem ix how best and most economteat-
ly to prevent this loss. ‘The best plan
where {t 18 practicable I to haul out
the manure regularly, spread it upon
the land, and plow it under. The
best results usually are obtained by
turning under shallow. ‘The next best
plan ts to keep the stock under sheds
‘or In stables with sufficient Itter to
absorb all Hqulds, This treatment will
hot only ‘ke up motsture but the con-
tinual tenmpling of the animal will ex-

The one exception mentioned is the negroes implicit faith in the white man, sornds funny, doesn't it? but it's as true as nature itself.
The average negro has more faith in the white man than he has in God. He wil curse and abuse the white man generally for his ill treatment of the race, out of hearing of the white man and to others of the race, but in the presence of the white man his attitude is usually thesame—anything but absusive or hostile.
He wild declare allegiance to his own enterprises over night, only to rise with the sun the next morning "beating it back" to the white man to the dertiment of his own enterprises. He may be treated courteously by the white man, he may be treated deciddly the reverse, but Mr. Negro, true to this peculiar tradition, simply smiles frowns, complains or chuckles and goes back for more.
With reluctance we beg here to refer to one of the leading churches of our city to exemplify our claims.
The church had been virtually wrecked by internal strife growing out of an upheaval among the members, of which the pastor was the bone of contention. They, the members of the church, prominent race men on both sides of the controversy, were at dagger points with each other and resulting directly from this cause a battle royal fist fight was staged on the grounds of the church where a Sunday school convention was in progress, and later a shooting affair which near reulted in murder.
The would-be assassin was jailed, tried and acquitted. All of this following an injunction suit against the pastor of the church to keep him out. All of thi required legal talent, and one would suppose not knowing, that these leading church workers and race men, all colored, would have preferred having their legal entanglement unravelled in the court over which a colored man presided, but true to their irresistable tradition, they went into the white man's court. One would also suppose that though in the white man's court these race leaders would have employed their own lawyers, but they did not.
Considerable money was spent, both sides having lawyers, but not one penny of it went to negro lawyers.
This is the style of the average negroes religion and it's the WRONG RELIGION.
This is the one line exception and since exceptions mainly prove the rule we submit that the white man, with all his faults, is dearer to the average negro than God himself.
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.

Going Some---and Still After Him.
WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE?
HUGHES DODGES ISSUE ON EIGHT HOUR LAW
Attacks Wilson's Plan but Won't Tell Public What He Would Have Done.
ONLY WAY TO AVERT STRIKE
Republican Nominee Is Asked to Declare If He Would Have Vetoed the Bill With Certain Assurance of Industrial Disaster.
So busy has been Charles E. Hughes criticising the deeds of the Wilson Administration that he has had little time, or has purposely evaded, telling the public what he would have done had he been President under similar circumstances.
Lately Mr. Hughes has turned his attacks upon President Wilson's successful settlement of the crisis in the railroad world by causing to be passed by Congress the Adamson eight-hour bill. Mr. Hughes has characterized this action as a "surrender to force"; he is "opposed to being dictated to by any power on earth before the facts are known"; and he would not act until he had had a "fair investigation and candid treatment."
Taking issue with the Republican candidate's attitude the New York Times, in an editorial, asks:
"WHAT WOULD MR. HUGHES HAVE DONE?"
"Well, what way would Mr. Hughes have taken?" continues the Times. "What would he have done? Here was Mr. Wilson's position: The brotherhood refused arbitration, the railroad presidents did not accept the settlement Mr. Wilson proposed, granting the eight-hour standard day with provision for an impartial inquiry into its working. There was no law on the statute books to enforce arbitration.
"The President knew, knew with certainty and beyond question, that he could not get such a law from the Congress now in session. The sure and inevitable alternative to his acceptance of the eight-hour standard day measure was a strike, the suspension of railway service, freight and passenger, all over the country, beginning on the morning of Sept. 4th. WOULD HUGHES HAVE DONE IT?
"Mr. Hughes 'would not surrender to anybody in the country.' Then he would have surrendered the country to the disturbance, immeasurable loss, and peril of a strike. Would he, in fact, have done that? Had he been President, confronted by that situation, would Mr. Hughes have brought on a strike by refusing to sign the bill granting a wage increase? There was the strike in plain sight, a few hours away, sure to come. Would Mr. Hughes have vetoed the bill? On the contrary, would he not have done just what Mr. Wilson did, sign it?
"The Republican candidate stands for two things: 'First, for the principle of fair, impartial, thorough, candid, arbitration; and second, for legislation on facts according to the necessities of the case.' Mr. Wilson stands for those two things and, much more, has pledged himself to use all his influence to secure them.
"What more could Mr. Hughes do? Would it be too much to ask the Republican candidate to put a little common fairness into his speeches? Is he afraid to tell his audiences what the President actually did urge upon Congress?
"As a true champion of arbitration, President Wilson recommended that arbitration judgments be made records of a court of law, in order that their interpretation and enforcement may not lie with the parties to the dispute, but 'with an impartial and authoritative tribunal.' It was his purpose in this recommendation to provide against future emergencies, to prevent the recurrence of such dangers as then confronted him and the country.
ADVICE TO RAILROADS.
"The people of the United States are not going to be put off with the misinformation as to what the President did to avert a strike and to prevent the threat of future strikes. We have reason believe that the full revelation of what he did, what he
tried to do and what he nearly succeeded in doing in the White House conferences would put such a face upon the matter that Republican efforts to make an issue of it would fall entirely flat.
"But the people do know, for it was before them in the President's address to Congress, that he proposed, not a single emergency act, but a broad program of legislation to meet a public need and permanently remove a public danger. It was a program which we are convinced the railroads would be very wise to accept in its entirety.
"Certainly it seems to us that they are ill advised to pray for the election of Mr. Hughes, who, if we take him at his word, would have brought on the strike, with all its irreparable injuries to the country's business and peril for the country's peace."
"WATCHFUL WAITING" HAS SAVED A NATION'S LIFE
Mexican Envoy's Tribute to President Wilson's Policy.
Convincing testimony to the wisdom and Justice of President Wilson's Mexican policy is brought from Mexico itself by Luis Cabrera, one of Mexico's commissioners at the joint Mexican-American Conference now in session at New London, Conn.
"I do not care to discuss politic

or international questions of any kind," said Senor Cabrera in a recent interview, "but I will say that in official circles of Mexico President Wilson is looked upon as one of the greatest men the United States ever has had as a leader. He is calm and considerate, and his much abused 'watchful waiting' policy has probably saved the life of my nation and prevented your country from entering into a needless struggle."
DEMOCRATIC PROMISES TO FARMERS FULFILLED
Benefits Under Wilson Set Forth in Official Pamphlet.
The Democratic platform of 1972 made this promise to the farmers of America:
"Of equal importance with the question of currency reform is the question of rural credits or agricultural finance. Therefore we recommend that an investigation of agricultural credit societies in foreign countries be made, so that it may be ascertained whether a system of rural credits may be devised suitable to conditions in the United States; and we also favor legislation permitting national banks to loan a reasonable proportion of their funds on real estate security.
"We recognize the value of vocational education, and urge Federal appropriations for such training and extension teaching in agriculture in co-operation with the several states."
These pledges, with many other services to the farmer, have been completely fulfilled in the legislation of the present Administration. The record of Democratic Performance is offered in comparison with the Republican record of broken promises to the farmer, in an attractive pamphlet issued by the Democratic National Committee. Copies have been furnished to every Democratic State Committee for free distribution.

SUFFRAGISTS CERTAIN OF DEMOCRATS' HELP
Loaders Resent Efforts to Turn the Cause Into an Adjunct of Republican Party.
WON OVER BY PRESIDENT
"I Have Come Here to Fight WITH You," He Tells Them—"Wilson Voted for Suffrage; Has Hughes?" Asked One.
Western women who have had the ballot equally with the men for several years resent the interference of one of the factions of suffragists and the attempt to turn the suffrage cause into an adjunct of the Republican party. They believe they know how to vote without being told by women who never had the vote; and they refuse to turn against the Democrats who have done so much for their cause in their respective states.
This attitude is brought out clearly in an interview by Nixola Greeley-Smith, nationally prominent as a writer on the staff of the New York World, with Mrs. Alexander Thompson, Democratic National Committee man from Oregon, and Mrs. Theresa M. Graham of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
"One would think" observed Mrs. Thompson to Miss Greeley-Smith, "that if any instruction in suffrage matters had to be given it would come from the women who have won the vote and do vote rather than from Suffragists in the East who are still disfranchised. I am a young woman, but I have been through three campaigns for the vote in Oregon. In the final campaign we won through the co-operation and help and belief in us of the men of Oregon.
"We have been voting only five years and we are still grateful to our men. So, when the Congressional Union sent speakers to Oregon to tell us to vote against all Democrats we laughed at them. Why, at the last election they campaigned against George E. Chamberlain, who introduced the first Suffrage bill in Oregon and who had been the friend of the women all through their fifteen years fight.
"I agree with every word that Mrs Thompson has spoken," declared Ars Graham. "The conditions in my State are the same as in Oregon, except that we have had the vote for twenty years and it was given to us without our having to fight for it. The Congressional Union has speakers in Idaho now urging us to slaughter the Democrats and free our sisters in the East. How silly that is! Are women in the East so foolish as to be led away by the mere declaration of a candidate, unsupported by his party, that he's personally in favor of a Federal amendment? Woodrow Wilson voted for Suffrage. Has Charles E. Hughes ever voted for Suffrage? Wilson has done everything consistent with a belief in State rights, one of the fundamental principles of Democracy. Suffrage can never win as a partisan issue. Alienate the Democrats en masse and you have killed every chance Suffrage has."
It is admitted by practically all suffragists that their cause has been helped greatly by the speech President Wilson made before the convention of the National Woman's Suffrage Association at Atlantic City recently, on Sept. 8. When the President told them he had "come here to fight with you" the 4000 suffragists gathered in Nixon's Theatre arose and cheered him enthusiastically.
This pledge by the President led Mrs. Carte Chapman Catt, president of the association, to say:
"You touched our hearts and won our fealty when you said you had come here to fight with us."
"The astonishing thing about this movement," said President Wilson, "is not that it has grown so slowly, but that it has grown so rapidly. . . . I get a little impatient sometimes about the discussion of the channels and methods by which it is to prevail. It is going to prevail, and that is a very superficial and ignorant view of it which attributes it to mere social unrest. It is not merely because the women are discontented, it is because the women have seen visions of duty, and that is something which we not only cannot resist, but, if we be true Americans, we do not wish to resist. . . ."
"I have felt as I sat here tonight the wholesome contagion of the occasion. Almost every other time that I ever visited Atlantic City I came to fight somebody. I hardly know how to conduct myself when I have not come to fight somebody, but with somebody.

A FARMER carrying an express package from a big mail-order house was accosted by a local dealer.
"Why didn't you buy that bill of goods from me? I could have saved you the express, and besides you would have been patronizing a home store, which helps pay the taxes and builds up this locality."
The farmer looked at the merchant a moment and then said:
"Why don't you patronize your home paper and advertise? I need it and didn't know that you had the stuff I have here."

IF THE G. O. P. ELEPHANT COULD SPEAK THE TRUTH
VOTERS of the U. S. A.—
We, the Republican party, being at our wits' end and desperate, put it up to you:
For nearly four years now a Democratic Administration has been in power. Contrary to every law of reason, every principle of progress, the country is at peace and alive, nay, humming with prosperity. Business is rushing. Wages are high. The only discontent is the discontent of those who are reaching for bigger chunks of plenty.
We are flabbergasted. All this has happened during a period when the rest of the world has been agog, when international crises were impending on all sides, when we would have sworn only Republican statesmanship could pull the nation through.
No war has engulfed us. No panic has paralyzed us. No nation has with impunity continued to infringe upon our rights.
We can't deny what has been done. All we can do is take our oath we could have done it better. How, we do not know. If only we said it loud and long enough we hoped the country would believe us.
But the country is busy and our voices grow hoarse. We are having a hard time.
Woodrow Wilson has nothing to show but what he has accomplished. He has none of the glamour of the what-might-be. We, on the contrary, have our old promises and policies, mellowed by age, but still bearing the stamp of the nation's solid interests. Protection, privilege, government by influence—surely the country has not given them their last trivial.
Wall street is with us. Big business is with us. But O. Voters, we confess it, we need you. Don't keep looking at the peace and prosperity around you. Try to get our point of view. Whatever Wilson has done, the man is a Democrat, and neither Federal Government nor Federal offices were meant to be forever in such hands.
Let's forget issues and talk as friends. Turn him out and give us a chance!
PRAISES WILSON'S STAND IN BEHALF OF SUFFRAGE
The action of the National Suffrage Association at Atlantic City, N. J., in rejecting by an overwhelming vote the proposal to make the suffrage movement a partisan annex of the Republican campaign, was further emphasized by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, "the sage of suffrage," in an interview published in the Philadelphia Press, a staunch Republican organ.
1
"The President, in his speech to the convention, promised all he could carry out," said Dr. Shaw. "If he had promised more we would have known that he could not carry it out.
"Not the Republicans alone, nor the Democrats alone, can bring suffrage. If it could be done that way I would favor it. But it can't. We must get enough Democrats and Republicans together to do it."

The exhibit from Douglas H. S. of Oklahoma City, has created a great deal of coment from white as well as colored visitors and citizens at the state fair. Prof. F. W. Bruner, of the manual training department, has an exhibit that will compare favorably with any exhibit at the fair. Mrs. Patterson has some work in music that reflects credit upon any school. Miss Julia Henderson, the drawing teacher, who is far above the average in her line, has a beautiful showing in drawing and painting from all her grades. The sewing with Mrs. C. Rosenberg Foster, as teacher, has some art but mostly practical sewing, her work is bringing forth a great deal of favorable commnet for its neatness, variety and practicabileness.
Prof. Wiesnes penmanship is an exhibit to be proud of. The professor has prizes he has won in his work and is turning out some good writers from Oklahoma public schools.
Mrs. Mary Carr Edwards had her children prepare some lovely calendars from her 4th grads. They are adding much to the fair exhibit.
Perhaps the most attractive exhibit from the colored school is that of Mrs. Nicine Wisner which is a geographic map.
The colored Boys' Club under the directions of B. F. Brown demonstrator for the U. S. Agriculture department, and the Girls Club, under the direction of Mrs. Annie Peters, of this department, are attracting much attention with their exhibits.

Great Fiction Becomes
Great Fact
PAGE SIX
Did you ever read Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, the story about a submarine, which Jules Verne wrote forty odd years ago? The vessel he described, "Nautilus," is almost a counterpart of the German merchant submarine, "Deutschland," which came to this country several weeks ago
F
OR weeks the German undersea boat Deutschland occupied the first page of every newspaper in the land, to the exclusion of the Mexican problem and a considerable part of the European war news. Her journey across the ocean from Bremen, her avoidance of the English and French war vessels and her theatrical disclosure of her identity at Cape Charles constituted the sensation of a century.
Mr. Charles P. Tower of the New York Tribune has written an article comparing the Deutschland with the Nautilus, the submarine boat of imagination which Jules Verne, the great French novelist, described in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," published about 45 years ago. No doubt many of you have read the story. It is a great boy's book, like "Tom Sawyer" or Fenimore Cooper's "Leather Stocking Tales."
Mr. Tower assumes that the Nautilus was never destroyed, and that the Deutschland is the old boat of fiction rebuilt. He says:
"But the sensation will be the greater when it becomes generally known that the boat is not of German design or build; that she is really the original submarine boat Nautilus, designed by that wonderfully skilful naval architect, engineer and scientist at-large, Jules Verne, built and navigated over and under many seas by Captain Nemo, and for many years supposed to have been engulfed in the whirlpool between the islands of Faroe and Lofoten, off the coast of Norway, in June, 1868; the same vessel, rebuilt in some degree and re fitted in a German ship yard, but the Nautilus, as truly as she was the Nautilus when she was launched, in 1865 or 1866.
"It has been only a supposition that the boat was lost in the whirlpool, based on the fact that no survivors of her crew, excepting Mr. Aronnax, who wrote the log on board the vessel on her sensational and somewhat erratic voyage of 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,' and his two personal associates, Counsel and Ned Land, never appeared in public or ever told anything to the contrary. But it will be remembered that Mr. Aronnax declared in his edition of the log, which was published in 1873, that he did not positively know whether the boat was lost or not. 'What has become of the Nautilus?' he asks, 'Did it resist the pressure of the maelstrom? Does Captain Nemo still live?'
"Don't believe it? Why, it is so thoroughly true as to be axiomatic. Read such a description of the boat that arrived at Baltimore on a Sunday evening; then read Mr. Aronnax's logbook; make careful comparison of the description of the Nautilus which is contained therein with that of the so-called Deutschland—and dare to say that they are not one and the same vessel. The power plant is new in part, and in part renewed. Mr. Verne designed the Nautilus to be driven by electric power generated by primary batteries, something that would be out of the question today, but possible in the case of the Nautilus, because her owner was a man of enormous wealth and because he had discovered an inexhaustible source of supply of the materials required to renew his batteries.
"The primary battery was the only available means of providing power for underwater propulsion, as the Diesel motor, now in use on all submarine vessels as a power plant for use on the surface and for generating electricity for power to be used under water, had not been developed. In fact, neither the Germans nor anyone else made any considerable use of the Diesel principle of motor construction until the Diesel patients had expired. Besides, Mr. Verne had no dynamics with which to translate the power produced by motors into electricity, although he had the essential principle in the electric motors with which he turned his propeller.
"And the vessel is now fitted with periscopes.

which the Nautilus in her early days did not have. If she had been equipped with periscopes in 1866 and 1867, it is probable that she would not have been in collision with the Columbus, the Shannon, the Helvetia and other ocean steamships during those years, much to the annoyance of their owners and the mystification of the public. Also, the Nautilus in her reincarnation has wireless telegraph equipment, something which she did not in her early days, because Marconi had not then been born. For the rest of it, the Nautilus is the Nautilus still.
"A very full description of the Nautilus is contained in the log as written up by Mr. Aronnax from the dictation of Captain Nemo. He mentions that the captain showed him the plans, sections and elevation of the vessel; doubtless the original drawings made by Mr. Verne, or perhaps tracings of the originals. If they had been blue prints, Mr. Aronnax would doubtless have spoken of them as such; but, of course, they were not, as blue prints were not in use in those days. The captain went on:
"Here, M. Aronnax, are the several dimensions of the boat. It is an elongated cylinder with conical ends. It is very like a cigar in shape, a shape already adopted in London in several constructions of the same sort. The length of this cylinder, from stem to stern, is exactly 232 feet and its maximum breadth is 26 feet. It is not built quite like your long-voyage steamers, but its lines are sufficiently long and its curves prolonged enough to allow the water to slide off easily and oppose no obstacle to its passage.
"When the Nautilus is afloat one-tenth is out of the water. Now, if I have made reservoirs of a size equal to this tenth, and if I fill them with water, the boat, weighing then 1,507 tons, will be completely immersed. These reservoirs are in the lower part of the Nautilus. I turn on taps and they fill, and the vessel sinks.
"Also, when I have a mind to visit the depths of the ocean, I make use of slower but not less infallible means. To steer this boat, following a horizontal plan, I use an ordinary rudder fixed on the back of the sternpost, and with one wheel and some tackle to steer by. But I can also make the Nautilus rise and sink, and sink and rise, by a vertical movement by means of two inclined planes fastened to its sides, opposite the center of flotation, planes that move by powerful levers from the interior. If the planes are kept parallel with boat it moves horizontally. If slanted, the Nautilus, according to this inclination and under the influence of the screw, either sinks diagonally or rises diagonally as it suits me."
"Set aside the obvious errors in the log or in the translation, and the description of the Nautilus might as readily pass for that of the so-called Deutschland as any that have been printed. Look it over in detail. The Nautilus was 232 feet long; the length of the undersea boat at Baltimore was "guessed" at anything from 200 and some odd feet to 300 feet. Of course, as she has been rebuilt, the boat may have been lengthened, to suit modern ideas.

The Nautilus was cylindrical in shape; the vessel that has created the sensation during past weeks is not quite cylindrical, in that her top sides are carried up for a space nearly vertical, and then tumble home with an easy curve; or, at least, it is so indicated by such photographs as have come to light. The change was undoubtedly made in the rebuilding, in order to increase the carrying capacity; for it is to be remembered that the Nautilus was not built to carry cargo, and had no great excess of buoyancy. The motive power of the Nautilus was electricity. That of the vessel from Germany is electricity when submerged, while for use above water the Diesel engines supply the power. That is of no importance as bearing on the identity of the vessel. It is a common thing in rebuilding a ship to make some changes in the propelling mechanism. "There is still more to come. Both boats—or, rather, the same boat in the two periods of her career—were—was—is—fitted up in some degree of luxury. Listen to what Mr. Aronnax says about a room into which Captain Nemo conducted him:

And again, in speaking of the saloon, filled with treasures of art beyond price, Mr. Aronnax mentions the organ, of which he says later in the chronicle: 'At that moment I heard the distant strains of the organ, a sad harmony to an indefinable chant, the wall of a soul longing to break these earthly bonds."
The Organ on the Nautilus.
"One may not approve of Captain Nemo's taste in music; some of us may prefer the 'run of mill' music which one may have with a phonograph and a selection of records made haphazard; but he was musical, at all events, and had provided himself with means with which to gratify his taste. But the organ has given way to a phonograph, with which the crew of the boat entertained themselves on the way across or under the Atlantic. And when they were 'full up' on music there was the library, with fewer books than that of old, but with Shakespeare as a foundation of literary satisfaction.

"Still skeptical? How was the food
of the Nautilus cooked? By electricity
"Still skeptical? How was the food of the crew of the Nautilus cooked? By electricity. Says Mr. Aronnax: Then a door opened into a kitchen nine feet long, situated between the large storerooms. There electricity, better than gas itself, did all the cooking. The streams under the furnaces gave out to the sponges of platina a heat which was regularly kept up and distributed. They also heated a distilling apparatus, which by evaporation furnished excellent drinkable water. How was the 'grub' of the crew of the so-called Deutschland cooked? By electricity, said Captain Koenig, although he did not give a description of the cooking apparatus in anything like as full a detail as does Mr. Aronnax of that of the Nautilus. The boat that Captain Koenig commanded was furnished with all the comforts of home, according to the one man who was aboard of her in any other than an official capacity, and who does not consider himself held to secrecy.
"It's a clear case. In every essential the Deutschland is the Nautilus. In size and form, excepting as any vessel may be modified in process of overhauling and refitting, in power plant, excepting as the Diesel engines take the place of electric motors for surface propulsion, for economy's sake; in the intricate electrical equipment for lighting, cooking and in the control and movement of all parts of the ship; in the means provided for going below the surface of the water at will, and in returning to the surface at pleasure; even in the provision for the comfort and entertainment of the crew, the Deutschland and the Nautilus are one and the same. Only in the use made of the craft is there a difference. The Nautilus was built and operated to satisfy the whim—let's call it a whim and forget the tragedy of it all—of a man wealthy enough to afford it; while as to the Deutschland, she crossed the ocean to bring a few pounds of dyestuffs of which we are in need. It is the case of a thoroughbred harnessed to an express wagon in his old age."

KEEP GOING AHEAD
BUILDERS CONTINUE MAKING
IMPROVEMENTS IN ENGINES.
Huge Mallet Locomotives Now Have Twenty-Four Drive Wheels and Weigh Four Hundred and Twenty-Six Tons.
If the Boston & Albany could announce an exhibition, say on the track beside Boylston street, of some of its new Mallet engines in contrast with two or three "hogs" or "Moguls" from the back of the Allston yard, the response from the public would repay the bother, remarks the Boston Herald. Few men outgrow the boy's liking for locomotives; but few keep up with the new points in design.
Of all machines that serve us, not excepting dynamo and motor car, it would be hard to find one that has equaled the locomotive in working out, endlessly, change after change for the better. In seeking speed the designers have felt their way, step by step; yet our swiftest engines today—the "camel backs"—are already a type as good as doomed. In seeking power, invention has pushed invention till in these tandem-built Mallets, you see the frame not only long, but jointed, for ease on curves; you see steam not only made with utmost saving of fuel, but also baked above its natural heat. This superheated steam you see applied in huge cylinders, twice, first on high pressure, then on low. You see not only a fireman, but machinery to push coal toward him or even to feed it into the firebox. You see an engineer, but in these ponderous locomotives he, too, has machinery at hand, compressed air and what not, to take the place of muscle in controlling his main machine.
Twenty-five years ago the "American" passenger engine—of the familiar "choo choo" type, with four small wheels—usually weighed about 35 tons on its drivers; a freight locomotive weighing 50 tons on drivers, the hostlers in the roundhouse called a giant. But beside the Mallet engines of today with two or three tandem sets of cylinders and drivers, these older engines look like Nantasket boats beside the ocean grayhounds. Fifteen Mallets just received by the Baltimore & Ohio for its hard Cumberland division have each 16 driving wheels. The Santa Fe likes a model with 20 drivers. The Erie, for two years, has been using a Mallet with 24 drivers, bearing on 71 feet of track at once; this engine has an after-breakfast weight of 426 tons, and a willingness to move along with 250 loaded cars.
STUDENTS IN PULLMAN JOBS
Company Goes to College Conductors for Help During the Vacation Season.
Many persons going to the White mountains this summer, or to Atlantic City, or points in New England, had their tickets inspected and punched by young men who, after September 15, will be found in Yale, Harvard, Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania. About 75 students from these institutions were employed to act as Pullman conductors on the great eastern lines, where the annual travel from the cities in the hot season is especially heavy.
This is the first time in 16 years that the company has gone to colleges for help. The move, it is explained, is not due to a scarcity of applicants, but to the fact that undergraduates are peculiarly fitted for summer employment and can return to their books when the rush is over. A representative of the company visited Princeton to engage students. The other universities have their own employment agencies through which applications were received. The 75 began work the first of June and will receive $77 a month.
"There is always a demand for extra conductors during June, July, August and up to the middle of September," an official explained, according to the New York Tribune. "Many conductors who work in the South in the winter are brought North each season, but there are not enough of them to meet the demand. By eagling students who want to earn money during the vacation season the company will escape having a large number of men on its hands after the summer travel is over. Most of the students who have been engaged reported at New York city, Philadelphia and Boston, which are known as the summer offices. There is very little travel in the summer, comparatively speaking, in the middle West, and there was no need to employ students there. Students from colleges and universities were employed as conductors 16 years ago, but this was the first time since that the experiment has been renewed."
NOVEL USE OF TANK CAR
Stationed on Incline to Supply Water
to Engines Employed in Line
Construction Work.
During the construction of an electric-transportation line between Montreal and Granby, Que., a rather ingenious water tank was improvised to serve the steam locomotives which were temporarily in use. A spur was made by laying track to the top of a short incline, erected with trestle timbers, at one side of the main line. A tank car was run onto this and its wheels blocked. An old steam shovel, which lacked its crane and dipper, was also pushed onto the spur and connected by pipes with both the tank and a pump that was installed at a nearby brook. In this way water was pumped to the container as needed. A large pipe provided with a manual valve served to convey water from the reservoir. Engines needing water were driven alongside the tank and filled.—Popular Mechanics Magazine.
LINE CROSSES "HOLY RUSSIA"
Railroad That Traverses Continent Required Eleven Years for Its Construction.
It was Alexander III who first realized the possibility of making a railroad across the whole length of the continent, and in the year 1892 his son, Czar Nicholas II of today, laid the first stone at Vladivostok. This was done in order to guard the newly acquired territories of the valleys of the Amur and Ussuri from the inroads of other nations; the railways would thus facilitate the transport of troops if necessary. It covers a distance of 6,000 miles from Moscow to Vladivostok. The Russian government voted $200,000,000 for its construction, and it was completed in 11 years.
It takes three days to reach Zlatoust in the Ural mountains. There is to be seen the famous "Stone of Parting." Could it speak, what a number of heart-rending tales it could tell. When criminals and political prisoners were sent to Siberia, that "Great Lone Land" of the East, their friends usually bade them good-by in the presence of the cold stone.
From Zlatoust the main line proceeds to Omsk, whence it reaches the shores of Lake Balkal, one of the largest fresh-water lakes in the world. Sometimes the Russians term it "The Holy Sea," because an island in the lake was believed to be the abode of an evil spirit, who continually had to be appeased with sacrifices. Seals and beautiful sponges abound in the lake.
Previous to 1905 the whole train was transferred by means of a wonderful movable platform, where it rested on rails, on the steamer on Lake Balkal. This steamer was built at Newcastle, England, and was fitted with powerful screws, which could be driven through ice four feet thick. Now the railway is continued round the south of Lake Balkal.

New Rairoads for Mexico.
Eight corps of civil engineers are now in the field in Mexico preparing for the extension and building of railroads by the government, according to an announcement made by department of communication. Work is now being actively pushed on an extension line from Lo De Mena, Durango, to Conception Del Oro, connecting with the line running south from Saltillo, to open rich mining country. The engineers are now surveying for a five-mile tunnel through the mountains in the Mazapil district.
A new line is being built southeast from Saltillo to Ortega, which will tap rich agricultural districts. About 14 miles of this line has been completed.

Always the Thorns!
BU GENEVIEVE ULMAR
(Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.)
"The last rose," announced Edna Brock and there was a shadow of regret in her tone.
"Oh, what a beauty!" enthused Blanche Reed and added the final trophy of the denuded bush to the great bouquet Edna had patiently picked for her. "Why, you have hurt yourself."
Edna had, indeed. She winced and paled slightly. The hand that had disengaged the last rose had been torn across the fingers with a long deep scratch. The blood flowed freely, but she wrapped the disfigured member in her handkerchief and said lightly:
"Oh, that is nothing—I am used to the thorns, dear."
There was a deeper meaning to the words than shallow heedless Blanche Reed knew—no bitterness, but a certain spirit of resignation that for the moment sent a grave expression to the comely face of the speaker.
"You see, the Aid society is very active since that handsome young Doctor Trevor came to Leeville. They say he is a rising man in his profession in the city," rattled on Blanche.
"and we all have our caps set for him. He's rich, too. Thanks for the flowers, dear. Doctor Trevor gave me the name of one of his poor patients, so I am anxious to get her the flowers." Ddna sat nursing her injured hand after the departure of her chattering

Studiously Regarded a Bouquet of Flowers Lying on the Ground. companion. She was thinking of this young Dr. Willis Trevor who had come to Leeville to spend the summer, and recuperate from the strain of an extensive practice. Edna had been casually introduced to him. She was interested in his broad humanitarian ideas. Doctor Trevor seemed to be one of those restless mortals who was happy only when occupied. He gave his services free to the poor and had co-operated with local societies in advancing sanitary and philanthropical work. The vain, selfish motives of Blanche jarred on Edna. Then she sighed and bound up the wounded hand with a little quiver about the lips. "Always the thorns!" she murmured.
So life had seemed to her. She appeared ever to be "the lamb of sacrifice" for others. She had given up an advanced education for the sake of a sister. Once wealthy and the family high in local social circles, her father and she herself had well-nigh beggured themselves to start a son and brother in business. The latter had lost the entire investment, and those who had helped him were forced to proceed thereafter on an economical basis.

Edna tried not to miss the old social life. She had never loved yet. She felt her girlhood was going by with something missing out of it.
It was an hour later when Edna, going down the street on an errand to a village store, paused and studiously regarded a bouquet of flowers lying on the ground at the edge of a field filled with boys playing ball. They were in the full blaze of the sun.
"My flowers!" uttered Edna, fairly indignant, as if some cruel heedless person had deserted her dearest friends at the wayside.
As she lifted them lovingly from the ground, however, a little fellow, a member of the ball-playing coterie, ran up to her. She recognized him as a brother of Miss Reed.
"Oh, please! those are my flowers," he advised Edna—"that is, my sister asked me to take them to a sick girl. Yes, here is the card with the name on." Edna read the address and readily comprehended the situation. The flighty, unreliable Blanche had tired of
her set task and had left its commission to a heedless juniqr.
"I will deliver the flowers," promised Edna and went her way with that design in view.
Within the hour Edna Brock forgot Blanche, the doctor and the thorns of life. All of its sweetness had come to her in full measure. She had delivered the flowers at a miserable hovel to find a little child of poverty struggling against insanitary conditions and a burning fever. It was to her a privilege to serve, a joy to lift humanity from the dregs to the higher levels of hope and faith and comfort.
It seems as though the sweet influence of Edna had changed a prison into a palace. Twice that day she visited the little invalid. The one following she gathered up from her own little store and the donations of kindly neighbors various articles of utility and comfort in which the humble home was lacking. The third day as she entered the tenement room she came face to face with Doctor Trevor, just leaving.
He greeted her with a brightening eye. In his quiet but earnest way he commanded her for the marvelous transformation she had made in the environment of the poor home and in the invalid. His heart warmed towards her and Edna felt a responding thrill.
Once again she met the doctor. It was the day when the little child, singing happily, was able to sit up in bed, past all danger.
All the time Edna had been compelled to keep the thorn-injured hand bandaged. It had pained her at times and looked red and swollen. Now that the strain of her nursing was over she noticed it more closely and realized that it was a poison or infection injury. She applied a soothing lotion. Blanche had invited her to an evening lawn party. Her hand pained her so greatly, however, that she phoned her friend that she would not be able to go.
What was Edna's surprise about six o'clock when Doctor Trevor drove up in his automobile.
"What is this I hear," he observed in his clever, pleasing way, "about an injured hand and no complaint to me, who must be your physician since you have been my friendly nurse? Dear, dear! you have neglected this, Miss Brock," he added, as Edna shyly showed him her hand.
Doctor Trevor dressed the wounded member and told Edna he had been advised just in time. "You also need rest and diversion after your engrossing care of my little patient," he said.
And then he suggested that, as she was not going to the lawn party, and as he did not care for the function, a moonlight run around the lake would delight him, and so it came about.
Blanche Reed quizzed Edna industriously after learning of three of these auto trips that had taken place in one week. She upbraided her for monopolizing this particular star of the village social life. But Edna was noncommittal, and only innocent, happy and contented.
There came the day that called Doctor Trevor back to his duties in the city. Quite an ovation was given him that evening by Miss Reed and her coterie of special friends. Edua was not present at the function. She sat in the garden of the little home, feeling sure that the last good-by of Doctor Trevor would be for herself.
He came swinging along in the mellow moonlight, cheery and hopeful. He took her hand, after he had spoken a few words.
"Dear little hand!" he said, and kissed it reverentially—"bearing the thorns, that others may have the roses. Let it guide me in silent paths of duty that have made your life so sweet and true!"
GOT TOO DEEP FOR MOLLY
Seemed Easy at First to Answer Census Man's Question, But Difficulty Came Later.
The front door bell rang, but Mrs, Murphy was scrubbing her kitchen floor and had no intention of letting that disturb her.
"Molly! Molly!" she called, "answer that."
Molly carefully placed the "image" she was dusting on the shelf, then opened the door to face the census man.
"Mother in?" he asked.
"No," lied Molly, judging from his general appearance that he must have something to sell.
"Well, perhaps you'll do. How many children are there?"
Molly calculated mentally. "Thirteen," she said, finally. "The oldest—name, age, and date of birth?"
This was difficult, but Molly had lied and must see the thing through. "Mary, twenty-two years old January first," she guessed.
"Yes; now the next."
"Patsy, twenty, February 2," she guessed again. Then suddenly she saw her way clear. It was easy. "I'll give them all to you." she said. "Joseph, eighteen, March 3; Kathleen, sixteen, April 4; Susie, fourteen, May 5." And so she joyfully pursued her course, dropping two years and adding one month and one day to the date at each name, until she reached "Tom, age two, November 11." She bit her lips. There were two children left, without ages!
"And?" the census man questioned, with a smile, as he counted the eleven names.
"Oh," said Molly, "I forgot; two of us are dead."
When the census man called the next day, Mrs. Murphy herself answered the ring.

ONE OF THE GATES OF THE ANG
In Transylvania
ONE OF THE GATES OF THE ANCIENT WALLED CITY OF BRASSO
ALL NATIONS of the world have their eyes fixed on the colossal struggle which is shaking civilization to its very foundations, but by none is it watched with more breathless eagerness than by that province on the western side of the Carpathians which is cut off from its kindred and bound by fetters of iron into a sheaf of alien races, Magyar, Slav, Bosnian, Crontian, Teuton—with his fellow-subjects of Kaiser Franz Josef the Latin inhabitant of Transylvania has absolutely no sympathy. On the contrary, he detests them, one and all, though he reserves his deadliest hatred for his hard taskmaster, the Hungarian. But with the Roumanian on the farther side of the Transylvanian Alps he has all things in common, blood, language, descent, Roumania, the Roman's land; Transylvania, that part of the Roman's land which lies beyond the forests. And that part which lies beyond the forests looks with unspeakable longing for the deliverance which the Hapsburg's overthrow will bring, for that victory which will reunite her to her kin, writes J. M. Dodingtop in Country Life.
It is an interesting land, that which lies beyond the forests, and there is, perhaps, no quainter town in Europe than its ancient capital, Kolozsvar, Embosmed in trees, its ancient houses straggle over several hills, its two rippling rivers are crossed by picturesque covered wooden bridges which rival those of Lucerne and Florence. Its narrow, unpaved streets are lighted by electricity, but sanitation, in each and all of its branches, is totally ignored, and in its main thoroughfares, beside the lines of the electric tramway, run open sewers. These discharge themselves into the two rivers. I may add that the visitor has a not altogether agreeable sensation when he observes the brown-skinned washerwomen pounding his linen on the banks of the said streams and subsequently rinsing it in their turbid waters!
In these narrow, unpaved streets there are many lofty and spacious mansions, tenanted by the haute aristocratic of the country. Like the palazzi of Florence and of Rome, the ground floors of these are entirely occupied by shops. On the first floor, the piano nobile, lives the owner (if sufficiently well off to afford such lodgment). The upper floors are let to tenants of many degrees, whose station varies in inverse proportion to their altitude. If the owner of the mansion is a poor man, he himself "goes up higher."
Standing solitary on a hill outside the town is a whitewashed fortress from which one has a superb view over hill and dale, over forest and river, away and away to the far blue line of the Carpathians. Kolozsvar also possesses a fine public park, under whose fragrant lime trees a magnificent Tzigany band discourses wildest music.
Market Day in Kolozsvar.
But the greatest charm of the little town (it has a population of but a bare 20,000 souls) is its market day. Then, under the largest and most gorgeously colored umbrellas in Europe (I should imagine) do groups of the most picturesquely attired countrywomen assemble, surrounded by piles of the most delightful fruit and vegetables, downy peaches, crimson plums, luscious grapes—purple, yellow and white—rosy apples, blue-black figs, blood red pomi d'oro, gigantic melons and cucumbers, huge red peppers, produce of garden and orchard of every color and form, and all framed in garlands of roses of every imaginable hue. Present everywhere, roaming and rooting among the stalls, are flocks of long-necked geese and herds of the peculiarly hideous swine of the country whose happiest hunting grounds are the Transylvanian forests.
Most beautiful forests they are which clothe the foothills, magnificent oaks and beeches, with here and there a clump of silver birches or an avenue of stately pines. At rare intervals comes a clearing in which nestles a little cluster of mud huts backed by a miniature village church. The small fields which surround the tiny hamlets are carpeted with wild flowers. Campions and puffles of immense size and most brilliant coloring, orchids of many varieties, cornflowers—blue, purple and amethyst—wild roses of a vivid pink and with thornless stems, yellow snapdragons, delicate harebells and fragrant pinks—there is no end to the variety of blossom.

SILENT WALLED CITY OF BRASSO
The air is exhilarating as champagne; though the heat in summertime is very great during the noontide hours, at sundown a refreshingly cool breeze invariably springs up and a heavy dew begins to fall. It is a most delightful experience to roam then through the beautiful forest, listening to the tinkle of the bells as the herds of sheep, cattle, pigs, buffaloes wander down the magnificent aisles, to the flute of the shepherd and the horn of the guardian of the swine. Equally pleasing it is, during the heat of the day, to spend long hours of dolce far niente on a springy bed of wild thyme by the side of a brawling streammiet—I may add that for the inveterate angler it is an even more enjoyable experience to extract from its dark pools and alluring stickles many a lusty trout. For almost all of these forest "burns" abound in fish—not very large, it is true, but vigorous fighters, giving excellent sport.
Big Landowners the Rule.
Big Landowners The Rule.
There are very few tenant farmers in the country; immensely big landowners are the rule, and these, with the aid of a host of balloons, manage their own estates. They devote each farm to some special object; one, for instance, is the ox farm, another the sheep farm, a third is set aside for horses, a fourth for donkeys, another for poultry, another for pigs, and yet another is the dairy farm.
It is, by the way, rather a curious fact that cows' milk is despised by all, rich man and pensive alike. It is looked upon as only fit for pigs and calves, or to be mixed with other milk in the making of cheese. Only buffalo milk is considered fit for human consumption; this is, however, to an English palate, far too rich, both in quality and flavor.
Outside almost every village in Transylvania is the gypsy quarter. Outside it, not in it, for the desplsed Tzigany is never allowed to dwell among the villagers or to mix with them on equal terms. He is the basket-maker, occasionally the brickmaker, of the neighborhood—but always and everywhere he is the music-maker. The gypsies are the orchestra of every town and village, at every festival they play untiringly, hour after hour, while the peasants dance. Men and women alike are dowered with the gift of music, and the wild Czardas crashed out by a Tzigany band makes even the cool blood of a Northerner tingle in his veins.
But fiddling is not the gypsy's only accomplishment; he is also a most expert thief. In fact, a legend of the country says that when a Tzigany baby makes its entrance into this vale of tears it is laid on its back upon the ground, while a purse is placed on its right side and a fiddle on its left. According to the direction in which it first extends a tiny fist its profession in life is determined!
A fair, fair land that "beyond the forests"—a more than interesting people, varying infinitely in rank, in character, in customs, even in beliefs, but united in one overpowering longing: to free their necks from the Magyar yoke, and to be reunited with their kindred on the farther side of the Transylvanian Alps.
American Hardware the Best:
American Hardware the Beat.
American-made hammers lead the world not only in quality and workmanship but in price, the adz eye feature being typical of hammers made in this country and adding much to their practicability. American hardware manufacturers can compete with all their lines in most foreign markets, but can only hope to obtain control of them by sending into those fields capable and experienced representatives, whose duty it should be to demonstrate to both dealer and the workman the superiority of their tools. A shortage of hardware supplies exists all over the world. Wherever people sow and reap, mine, lumber, construct or build, there are markets for American hardware and this is especially true at present in Latin America, China, Russia, Australia and South Africa. Cooperation in selling to foreign markets is especially necessary in this line. owing to the expense of opening territory. —Leslie's.
Helress—I like you very much, Mr. Ardup, but I cannot marry you.
Ardup (picking up his hat)—I will be equally frank with you, Miss Bullion. I don't like you at all, but I would marry you in a minute. I am more self-sacrificing than you are Good evening.

New Sports Suits for Autumn.
Before the summer sports or pastime suits have vanished from our midst their successor has entered and made its bow. It is destined to bloom with the goldenrod and asters and it is naturally of heavier materials than the suits for summer weather. Serge, velveten, and corduroy contribute to its durability and to its style as well. It is likely that these new sports suits for autumn will be innocent of stripes. Those shown so far are of plain materials or of plaids and plain fabrics made up together, and they are undeniably smart. Young or old, women wear about the same styles in them, and they subtract years from the matron's appearance in a way to make her rise up and call them blessed, besides cheerfully parting with her good money for them. Among the most enticing suits, those made of white serge combined with the same materials in handsome colored plaids are triumphing. Some

Elegant Hats for Those in Mourning.
Two very elegant hats, made for those in mourning, are shown. They will satisfy the most discriminating taste, for they fulfill all the requirements for correct millinery of this particular kind. They are made in conservative and becomin' shapes, of English crape or of a specially woven silk and crape, and the workmanship in them is above reproach.
An all-crape hat is shown at the left, and all the world over its import is understood. It is the material used for the first period of mourning. The shape is a drooping brimmed sailor of moderate size, and it is covered smoothly with crape. The facing is of the same exquisite material. Crape is of a texture that lends itself to the making of flower forms, and the trimming of this hat is made of crape. There are four large roses, each made of three sizes of crape petals set about a cabochon of crape at the center of the flower. The hat is lined with a soft silk.
The second hat is of silk with a wing made of folds of the silk and crape. It extends across the front of the hat and terminates in a large cabochon at the right side.
Either of these hats is of a con-

times the skirt is white and the coat of the plaid with white collar and cuffs. Or a white skirt is banded with plaid, and a white coat has plaid cuffs and collar, belt and pockets.
When the story is not told in plaids it veers to colored velvetteens or corduroys. In the picture a white serge skirt is worn with a taupe gray coat of velvetteen with girdle of soft satin. Buttons and tassels make the quiet finish. The blouse is of crepe de chine made plain.
It will be noticed that the skirt extends only a little below the shoe tops and it is not likely that the sports skirt will lose character by growing longer. One may wear a suit of this kind with assurance. It is good to look at and full of its own style. Although the color combination is as quiet as possible the fabrics and the cut of the garment give the suit plenty of "snap." There is nothing tame or commonplace about it.

venient size to be worn with a veil. Vells of silk net, bordered with crape, take the place of all-crape veils in new millinery. Or mesh veils bordered with bands of narrow grosgrain ribbon may be used after the period of first mourning is passed. There is much latitude in the choice of styles and the wearing of mourning in this country. But those who elect to wear it must not break certain rules. No extremes of styles are in keeping with the reserve that marks mourning apparel. Fabrics must be good and workmanship of the best. Crape remains the unquestioned indication of mourning.
Net Wraps Five Layers Deep.
Before the beautiful brocaded clonks, which are already in New York ready for the opera season, are allowed to see the light there is being shown and worn joyously a new sort of evening coat, called the outdoor dinner cape. These are made of five layers of silk net colored often like a flame opal. They furnish just enough protection against the night air and do not "limp" with the damp, for there is no dressing in the net.

‘THE ACCEPTANCE SPEECH—
AN EDITORIAL APPRAISAL
President Wilson's speech of
‘acceptance was = compreheusive,
frank and direct.
| Tt was the utterance of a man
jand 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
haa met them with patience and de-
votion that have won the respect and
admiration of the world.
With domestic legislation to di-
rect, giving the relief from eco
nomic abuses that the country’s wel-
fare demanded, with a long list of
premio to fulfill, the great war that
upon the world threatened to
check him in his efforts and to in-
volve 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 accept-
ance speech succinctly and modestly
tells.
In three and a half years the coun-
try han been set aright, every cluss
Protected in its liberties and its op-
portunities, the whole commercial
system set in order, with prosperity
abounding. And reason has neve
abandoned its throne in all of the
country’s perplerities.
‘The speech was a message to the
people of all the world; it was «
notice to the world that this country
fe big enough to maintain its honor
and te keep out of war, and at the
same time big enough to regulate it
domestic conditions.
‘The speech was no apology, n
defense, no complaint. It was 1
epeech that all men and womer
should read to learn what th
country has really been doing

PARTY SUFFRAGE RECORDS
Grip. Combaraile Cotveeaeaen’ Apasa)
Re ce
Congressman C. ©. Dill, of Wash-
ington, cites the records of the com-
mittee hearings on suffrage in Con-
gress to prove that “the only Congress
men who have gone before the Judl
clary Committee of Congress this year
to ask that @ suffrage amendment be
voted upon have been Democratic
members.” He adds that “no others
have appeared to ask for considera
tion of the measure. That Is, I think,
suficient answer to any claim that
the Democratic Party opposed Woman
Suffrage.”
‘This record peed only be supple
mented with the personal voting his-
tory of the rival Presidentin! candl-
dates to show who Is the real friend
of suffrage, President Wilson made
twe trips from Washington to New
Jersey to register and vote for Woman
Suffrage wheo It was submitted in his
State. Candidate Hughes did not take
the trouble to register or to vote the
game year—1915—when the suffrage
amendment was submitted to his
tate.

future except by assessing the past.

OUR MEXIGAN POLICY
BASED ON HUMANITY
How the President Has Upheld
a Small Nation's Rght to
Control Its Affairs.
RESISTED WAR Pa=SSURE
“President Wilson's faith in demo-
eracy, und the unselfishness of the
United States in international deal-
fngs, have been strikingly expressed
in his Mexican policy.
“The President's demand for Mexico
te—Justice.”
‘The lurger phases of the relations
of the United Stutes with Mexico

tration as well a# un Interesting and
complete narrative of events ure pre:
sented authoritatively In the Mexican
chupter of the Democratic Nationa!
‘Text Book, from which these quota-
tlons are made:
“Two considerations have animated
the President in the formulation of
his Mexican policy and have compelted
his adherence to It throughout ils Ad:
ministration, namely t
“The firm conviction that all na-
tions, both the weak and the power:
ful, have the inviolable right to contro!
their internal affairs.
“The belief, established upon the
history of the world, that Mexico will
never become a peaceful and law-abid
Ing neighbor of the United States un
til she has been permitted to achieve
/& permanent and basic settlement of
her troubles without outside Interfer-
ence...
| “The Mextean problem tn its pres
ent form has existed for the Amerienn
Government ever since our frontier
| wns extended to the io Grande. When
the people maintained the peace tt was
because they were forced to do so, nil
not because Justice relgned {nthe
land. Thus ft was that the history
of Mexico, like the history of every
aspiring people, pressed upon Prest
dent Wilson's consideration (he truth
that no permunent good relations
could exist between this great North
Fern Republic and the one Immediate
|'y South of us until she had heen lett
free to put her house In order, how
Fever painful that process mizht he
and whatever the demands It micht
make upon the forbearance of the
United States.”
“There was a powerful pressure for
war—a terrible war—by a welf-armed
powerful nation against an unarmed,
bankrupt people exhausted by five
years of clvil strife, hut who still re
tained enough of patriotte feeling to
-untfy them against an invader. It
was the old, olf question whether the
United States should Impose a pence
Jon Mexien; whether, for the sake of
the Interests of a few of Its eltizen
[ie whould permanentty suppress Mex!
} co's upreaching toward freedom and
| self-government.”
FOR SERVICES RENDERED
NOT PROMISES BROKEN
“1 do not doubt that the people
of the United States will wish
the Democratic party to con
tinue In rontrol of the govern:
ment. They are not in the habit
of rejecting those who have ac
tually served them for those who
are making doubtful and conjec
tural promises of service. Least
of all are they likely to substi
tute those who promised to
render them particular services
and proved false to that promise
for those who have actually ren
dered those very services.”—

"of Acceptance.
