IF IT NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE THE COTTON TAX THE CIVIL WAR COTTON TAX REVENUE CLAIMANTS OF THE SOUTH Confront the United States Treasury Department with its Own Letter Dated 1st, 1915; and Confidently Insist That The $68,000,000 Account is Still Subject to Their Suit Filed in Washington in Spite of Mr. McAdoo's Letter of October Constraint. 15, to the Congress First—on the 15th day of October, 1915, the Secretary sent to the country generally, a statement, which said, "There is no fund of $68,000,000 or any other sum in the Treasury of the United States for ex-slaves, or those who worked in the cotton fields of the South. Second—The Secretary, Mr. McAdoo, also said, "The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that the war cotton tax of 1862-1868, was institutional." constitute Third—That the money collected as Civil War revenue tax of 1862 to 1868, has been treated as part of the general receipts of the Government and applied to payment of government debts. In May, 1915, the present chief counsel in this case (and before this suit was filed in Supreme Court of District of Columbia last July); wrote the Secretary, Mr. McAdoo, to be informed whether the money was still in the Treasury separately known as such revenue tax money; and what its status; and on June 1, 1915, the following letter was received from the department: department. Treasury Department. Treasury Department Office of the Assistant Secretary. Wash., D. C., June 1, 1915. Mr. C. J. Jones. 307. Fon Du Lac St. Minerapolis, Okla. Muskogee, Ore. Sir: I am directed by the Secretary, and in reply to your communication relative to the tax levied on cotton during and after the close of the Civil War, I have to inform you that the question of the constitutionality of the tax was before the courts in the case Farrington vs. Saunders, collector, tried in the United States Circuit Court, Western District of Tennessee. (Then the letter states that the case was appealed to the United States Sup- reme Court, and further states): The case is not reported in the Sup- reme Court reports, etc. (This part of the letter shows that the Supreme Court has never decided that the tax was constitutional.) (In another paragraph of the same letter the Secretary said): Though bills for a refund of the cotton tax have been introduced in Congress from time to time, no legislation has been enacted; and the subject is one within the discretion of the Con- sideration. gress. If there is no fund credited to this cotton tax collection, why does the Secretary say that the subject is yet open to Congress for action? If the money has been spent for general debts of the government why did the Secretary write this letter in June saying that it is still subject to action by Congress; the letter further states: There is enclosed herewith for your further information a statement of the tax collected on raw cotton during the fiscal years 1863 to 1868 inclusive. This statement shows that the amount of that fund is sixty-eight million seventy-two thousand three hundred eighty-eight dollars and ninety-nine cents. Respectfully, WM. S. MALBURN, Assistant Secretary. With this tangible evidence from the Treasury Department, yet on October 15, just four and one-half months afterwards, the Hon. Secretary saves the money was spent for paying interests and war debts. In June the Secretary said the money was there. If it were there in June, 1913, it was there the day the Secretary save his statement on October 11, 1912. Because Congress has passed no appropriation bill since June, 1915, and money once in the Treasury can be paid on account on the act of Con- tendent that end. grew to the The Hon. Secretary was either mistaken, when he wrote the letter last June, or he is mistaken now. June 15. We rather think he was correct in what he wrote last June, because at that time, there was no suit filed against him, and he was writing as an official giving official information, while when he wrote the statement in October 15, 1915, he was writing as a defendant in a lawsuit; and as in all cases, a defendant never thinks that the plaintiff has any case against him. This statement from the claimants is given out, because the statement sent out by the Hon. Secretary, seeks to, and does allege fraud and absurdity on motives of these plaintiffs; because only persons who feel that they are claimants under the terms of the bill in贪婪 as filed, are permitted to contribute to the expense fund; And, the fact that people believe they have right to relief in court, the paying the necessary expenses for its orderly prosecution, and the further fact that the defendant is Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, does not license him to characterize the purpose or motives of there claimants; and to do so in the unwarranted manner as shown in the inaccurate statement issued October 15, 1915, is a matter left for the country to judge.

In my correspondence last week concerning the trial of Miss F. M. Hunt, the names of Mrs. Wilks and Mr. Fairwell were inadvertently omitted. Your correspondent failed to state that the letter of Assistant Superintendent Roscoe C. Bruce was an off-set to the argument and statements of Supervisor Armstrong that Miss Hunt made a false registration. The impression that Mr. Armstrong endeavored to convey was that Dr. Moton's report contradicted the alleged registration of Miss Hunt. Mr. Bruce's letter put a quietus on such an impression. The assistant superintendent commended Miss Hunt in the highest terms. Superintendent Burroughs, some time ago, commended Miss Hunt in the highest terms. Trustee Zantzinger, chairman of the county school commission, took the credit of having appointed her and the entire board was highly pleased with the impression she made before it. Her clean cut English and the masterfully manner in which she swered every allegation fully demonstrated her qualifications and competency as a teacher in Fairmount. The writer knows that there is no teacher in the Fairmount Heights Schools who has a better opinion and entertains any greater respect for county school commissioners than Miss Hunt. Many of the citizens in this section will attend the institute this month, which is to be held in Fairmount Heights. Mrs. Woodworth, mother of Trustee Woodworth of Fairmount Heights, died at the residence of her daughter. Mrs. Josephine Riley, the last Monday in October, at 1751 Eighth street northwest northwest.

Grove for the past three years has served successfully as head checker at the New Ebbitt and has been recently appointed steward at the Grafton Hotel of this city. Mr. Grove is considered one of the best hotel men in the country, having one of the cleanest records of any man of his profession. He was well thought of by all for whom he has worked. He is not of the style to hasten men out of work, but has always tried to assist the waiter with his order, and to straighten out, as far as possible, mistakes made on the check. The reason why many checkers are to-day walking up and down Pennsylvania avenue is because they thought that the house in which they worked wanted them to fight the waiter at all hazards. Many checkers of this style are now members of the "Down and Out Club" and the finger of scorn pointed at them by many whom they have caused to suffer by unjust methods. Mr. James Adams, better known as "Peggie," has recently returned to the city from his country home. Mr. Adams, looks the picture of health. The Chevy Chase Club Walters' Business Association held its annual Fall ball on last Monday evening, Nov. 8. Despite the rain the hall was filled at 11 o'clock. Great credit should be given President Collins and his colleagues. The entire Association was in full dress for the occasion. Secretary William Lacey, of the New Ebbitt's Walters' Association, and the President of the Chanticleer Club were noted among the guests. The Monticello Social Club celebrated its opening for the season on last Monday night. Soft drinks, salads, etc., were served the guests. The singing and dancing were excellent. Mr. Edward W. Love, steward of the New Ebbitt Walters' Association, was among the guests. NOTES. OF ROSETTA CAMP 1082. The meeting of the camp, Thursday, Nov. 4, was well attended. Quite a number was added to the camp. A number of white persons visited the camp to meet Deputy R. L. Pannell, who has seven tons of that stuff that make success to any one who uses it; and that's a fact. They all went away much pleas'd at the way the business is conducted—everything clean and tidy. By the way, none of them knocked on the cellar door either, as a certain member did when he came up to the camp. "Gee," I liked to have done the same thing myself when I went up, as the place looked so nice. We want every I. L. U. member to attend the meeting on Thursday, Nov. 8, as we will have with us the Hon. W. Calyrl Chase, Editor of The Bee, to give us a talk. He can talk; yes, as well as he can write. He's got something to talk about, for he's an I. L. U. mem ber himself, thank you. On the 16th at 1030 Lamont street northwest, the ladies will give a pigs feet, eatin Kinder ease out, and eat a few feet and oblige yourself.

Mr. Russell is the author of a life of Wendell Phillips, and is one of the strongest and ablest of the friends of the negro of the present generation.

FINAL REPORT FROM THE WOMEN'S DEPARTMENT. Resuming to announcement made by Rev. Dr. M. W. D. Norman, general chairman of the Capital-Wide Evangelistic Campaign, the ladies met Oct. 25 in the Metropolitan Church at 3 o'clock. Miss Grace E. Butler of New York was called to the chair to preside. Mrs. M. E. McEntree was appointed general secretary, Mrs. Mar-Howkins, treasurer. th Hawkins, Dr. C. Le Roy Butler was present and presented many helpful suggestions. He stated that there should be special objects for which we should pray, and that we should pray for all the people in all the churches as well as our loved ones at home, and the importance of having a church day, when all churches could be visited, and an old folk's day, when the aged and infirm could be brought to church. He added many other good thoughts and retired, after which his devout Christian wife, who is without rival in his executive ability, appointed a chairman for each group that had a representative present. rup esses A large and enthusiastic attendance enjoyed the pleasure and benefited derived from this meeting and willingly responded to the tasks assigned them. After a fervent closing prayer by the meeting adorned. Miss Peck the meet- Three of the ten groups conducted meetings in the churches of their group. They brought inspiring re- ports of their work daily and of the blessings that have come to them as individuals. Each talked of her nearness to Christ and a desire to do more for His cause. There has been a great number of sinners who requested prayer, and effectual work has been done in the homes and alleys. One special feature of the work was meeting with the children. It has been said by some, one, "When we save one a child, we have saved a soul and a life." And now to the Superintendent of this great body of earnest Christian women Mrs. Grace E. Butter. We extend to you a heart of gratitude and the highest appreciation of your presence [with us]. Words are inadicate to express to you the inspiration that you have brought to the city of Washington in this great work of soul saving.

All friends are urged to see the work of the children, so as to encourage them. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS Bill Clifford is just naturally hopin' that Burton will bring home the bacon cause; he's from Cleveland same as Bill is, but I figure it wouldn't do him a powerful sight of good at that if Burton did swipe the persimmons, cause they grow 'em so fast out in Ohio that when a fellow hangs around the fringes of this berg, without keeping train connections with back home monthly, he just naturally loses out of the big purse. Dick Thompson is pullin' for Fairbanks, on the "q. t., cause Fairbanks is from the state where Dick once upon a time, in the dim, dark past, towed mail out there. But it been so long since Dick registered a vote out there they wouldn't take no account of him. And besides some of them sightin' tar-complexioned individuals out in "Injany" might dig up some of Dick's fulsome praise of Woody Wilson, and the fact that Dick came here would get him a sunburn, if he would get pious, in case Buttermilk Fairbanks landed that presidential plum. You know out in that Hoosier state there are jibats just mean enough to spring Dick's political record, if Dick should again seek that Assistant Register of the Treasury, Coal-complexioned individuals are "turrible" on digging up a feller's political record when it is a bit checkcard." If Root could land, Charley Anderson would be in clover, and reckon there is just about as much chance now for Root to land as there is for Doc. Willis to support, Doc. Wilder for delegate from this district to the national convention. Fact is, all the sun-burnt boys are up in the air on this presidential proposition. A few of the wise ones are just lavin low, sawin wood and sayin' "nuffin." Lafe Hershaw, who generally keeps informed on current events, like the most of us voteless statesmen, says that "the next presidential candidate is sure to be the candidate what gets the most votes in the national convention." Further than this deponeth Hershaw sayeth not. Dick Thompson, who is years back began writin' political dreams four years before the election, is as silent as the grave on presidential' politics this year, and beyond making the averent that "a majority of the votes in the convention, physiologically massed behind some state's favorite son will eventuate in the success his bosom friends and backers have worked hard to achieve," Dick has kept his mouth closed as tight as a clam. Dick knows that he's serving under Woody's administrations "from him" "along the line of uplift work," would get him a dishonorable discharge, and there aint no Hamile look for a discharge at this time of year when coal is $7.50 a ton, and in demand to warm a feller's shins, Tom Clark, the war stagedist, is too busy figur' out how Gen. Joffre is goin' to circumvent the German-Austrian-Bulgarian trenches to even hesitate for a second to discuss politics. By-and-by, however, Tom will elucidate, and when he does everybody will sit up and take notice, and even John Dancy will be prompted to actually buy a drink out of delight over Tom's most logical diagnosis of the situation. By-the-way, whoever lands Dancy will be in the field agin for Recorder of Deeds, backed unanimously by Judge Terrell and the A. M. E. Zion Blishops from them there southern states what always roll up a tremendous Republican majority—nit. John has maintained his home here in Washington so as to be handy when the call comes for him to again serve the country at $4,000 per. John is one of them there patriots what's always ready—a regular minuet man, don't you know. Judge will be a little handicapped by that voluntary bankruptcy he got messed up with, but that won't worry him. Judge never worries, he just lets the other feller walk the floor. The feller what dont worry lives longest and gets treated the most often. When you know that you have come to the court, your conscience is clear and your heart is strong. A clear conscience causes an easy and quiet mind. Talking about "conscience," it "makes cowards of us all," especially when we know that we have offended our neighbor, or taking some other man's wife. I reads in Willie DuBois' personal organ. The Crisis, where my old college chum, Kell Miller, comes out again women's suffrage. I've often arose to remark before a crowded house—the Bee's five thousand readers—that Kell is sure an "amosin cuss." Now: the idea of any "study in black" what's caused any. wife of his youth to incubate a half dozen, more or less, Ham-featured kiddles argu' agin that woman.havin' the same rights what he has just naturally gets my goat. There is one class of charcoal deductions what always is willin' for a woman to bring into this old world a crop of lynchin' prospects, and go through the travail of makin' the forearm and pass him here, and give him pass that woman to him with his jeans, sow up the perforations in the seat of his trousers, cook his ham and eggs, keep the house clean, and do a lot of other odds and ends what keeps her busy from sun up to sun up, but splutters and bibbles over, her havin' a right to vote. Account to my notion, any woman what is good enough to bring into this hoary, gory old world of discrimination a brood of studies in black is sure good enough to share in all the privileges enjoyed by a lot of misconceptions what spend their time dissipating highballs, stale beer and whisky sours. A bunch of militant suffregrets and suffreges, congregated in a parlor up on college hill the other evenin', discussin' Kell's latest article on woman suffrage. Just naturally give him fits, and they didn't take time to select no euphonious words to express their outraged feelin' s. But Kell is a mighty smart bit of sombre crayon at that, and I loves him for his "Race Adjustment," and other publications what hit the nail of discrimination square, on the head. I'm preparin' a distortion on the Muclage Club, and after its been censored by-Dick Thompson. Bob Pelliam and Wash Woods I goin' to let her go Gallegher. It will sure be a hummer. It will appear exclusively in The Bee as per contract. Keep a watch for it. NOVEMBER RALLY. United Republican Clubs at Grand Army Hall.

Havin spent several months in "Poro" College in St. Louis, she is thorough informed and fully capable of imparting such knowledge. Joseph E. Trigg, one of the stalwart linesmen of the Orange squad, was born in Washington. D. C., twenty years ago. He began his football career as right tackle on the M Street High school team in that city, which position he held for four successive years. In his final year he was picked as a tackle on the mythical all-schoolastic team of the Capital city. Trigg entered Syracuse in 1912, earning the position of left guard on the freshman team. In 1913 he earned his block "S" as left guard of the varsity team and last year he was a prominent member of the squad, playing as a substitute lineman in most of the games. He is going better this year than he did in 1914 and can be relied upon to give a good account of himself in the games that yet remain on the schedule. Defensive play is Trigg's specialty, although he shows plenty of aggressiveness on the offense. He charges low and hard and generally gets his opponent by his quickness before the latter is aware of it. Rowing is another sport in which Trigg has made good. In the spring of 1913 he rowed No. 7 in the freshman boat at Poughkeepsie. In the following year he showed such ability that he was given No. 5 in the junior boat and last spring he rowed No. 5 in the varsity shell. Trigg is six feet in height and is well proportioned. He is a student in the College of Liberal Arts, from which he will graduate next June with the B. S. degree—Syracuse Herald. Harry Keolan Succeeds Harry S. Keelan, son of Mr. and Mrs. John C.

Y., where he is analyzing iron ore. Dr. Wiley, the noted chemist and pure food expert, a client of Mr. Keelan, senior, rendered, great service by giving letters addressed to chemists in Buffalo territory, and thus secured for Harry Keelan hearings, which led up to his being engaged.

This commission will have to deal with a homestead problem to inhabit and develop a new territory. It is charged equally with developing the resources of the people and the island. The last legislature, however, appropriated $10,000 for the purpose of making further surveys, and government surveyors are now at work near Chiles. These lands are to be offered to Porto Rican laborers on easy terms in an effort to establish them as small farmers and land owners. Although Porto Rico is dependent solely on agriculture, there are comparatively few small farmers. In a meas- SCHENNON KASER GOVERNOR YAGER. ure this is due to the fact that much land is either held in large tracts or is farmed to crops that demand large acreage. The laborers on these plantations and elsewhere frequently live in houses which they own, but which are built on leased land. Agricultural workers seldom own both house and land, and it is the exception rather than the rule when they do any farming for themselves. They live largely on food imported into the island, chiefly rice and beans and cottish. The new homestead law provides that the government may sell to deserving laborers tracts of land for farming purposes not to exceed five acres each or tracts for dwelling purposes not to exceed 500 square meters, the laborers to have from eleven to thirteen years to pay for the land, which is to be tax free until finally paid for. In order to be of assistance to the most needy the law provides that no one may become an applicant who earns more than $500 a year or who is not married or who does not have a family to support. The law also provides that for a period of seven years those taking the small farms must cultivate them under the supervision of the homestead commission. So that the homesteader may become the ultimate owner of the land the law provides that the homestead may not be taken for debt and it may not be transferred to another except under regulations established by the commission. If a homesteader dies his heirs may assume the obligation of paying for the property and obtain title to it when the property has been completely paid for. The only obligation which the homestender takes upon himself is that within one year after he comes into possession of a five acre farm he must build a shack of a value of at least $50 and have at least one-third of the land under cultivation within two years. From the third to the thirteenth year he must pay to the government annually a sum equal to 10 per cent of the assessed value of the property, and he must live upon it for at least a period of five years. In the event that these conditions are not compiled with the property-reverts to the government, to be again disposed of by the homestead commission.

Love's Victory In God's Great Plan of the Ages—Why God Permitted Man's Fall—Man's Experiences During Six Thousand Years a. Most Valuable Lesson—How One Redeemer Could Purchase a Race—God's Love Soon to Be, Revealed to the Whole World. New York City, Nov. 7. — Pastor Russell delivered a forceful discourse tonight at the New York City Temple, W. 63rd St., near Broadway. His text was, "Mercy rejoiceceth against Judgement"—James 2:13. PASTOR RUSSELL During the first part of his discourse the Pastor discussed the Divine attribute of Justice as manifested in God's dealing with mankind. Prior to man's fall into sin, Divine Love had operated from the very beginning when God cre-ated His Son, the Logos, and later, when He created both angels and men in His own image. Man's fall brought Divine Justice into operation; for it was Justice which depreed that because of man's disobedience man should not live. Divine Love agreed that the decision, was altogether proper, not only because it is right for God to be just and in harmony with His own Law, but because it would not be good for man to live everlastingly in a fallen condition. Had God permitted man to live on in imperfection and sin, unlobedly some of the race would have been able to cultivate such qualities of mind and character as to give them the ascendancy over their fellows and to bring all mankind into captivity to themselves. Except man should exercise the attributes of his character in harmony with the Divine character, he should not be permitted to live, because of the injury he would do. Thus Divine Love agrees with Divine Justice that sinful man should die. Again, when our race came under the death sentence, God might have cut us off quickly. But He had in mind the Divine Plan of the Ages. (Ephesians 3:11, Diaglott.) During the present life, man was to learn certain lessons, that he might profit by them forever. All the experiences of the present life will have a bearing upon mankind during the period of restoration—the incoming Age. Through experiences with pain and death for six thousand years the world has been educated along the lines of sin—lessons as to what a terrible thing sin is, how hard it is to control, how ruinous are its effects, how hardening of the heart and that final death will inevitably result from its practice. Thus twenty billions of our race have had a great schooling during the past 6,000 years. Then the speaker pointed out the manifestation of Divine Love toward our race. Long, beforehand Divine Love had arranged a Plan whereby redemption would come, whereby Love would triumph over Justice. During Christ's Millennium Reign, redeeming Love will become restoring Love, through the agency of Him who died to redeem mankind. So ultimately, when death and hell (the grave) shall have delivered up all that are in them, Love will have triumphed over Justice, as it is written: -1 Cor. 15:53, 57. This is one of the most wonderful things in the Bible. God always maintains His Justice and His Love; and we are blessed by both. Justice, having triumphed over mankind for six thousand years, has brought them down to Shoal. Hades—the tomb. Meantime, Love began to operate in harmony with Justice; and it has given the great sacrifice of Jesus, and has arranged that at the Second Coming of Christ, and through His Millennial Reign. He shall awaken all mankind from the death sleep.—John 5:28, 29. How One Could Purchase a Race. The Pastor then showed how Love will triumph over Justice. Since twenty billion souls have sinned, twenty billion redeemers would have been required in any other than God's way. But He provided that only one man should be condemned to death, and that through this one man condemnation came upon all men while still in his joins. Thus one man could pay the penalty for all—1 Corinthians 15:21, 27; Romans 5:12, 18, 10. This penalty was met by the sacrifice of Jesus' life. But is that not unjust? Oh, not! The Bible assures us that God stated the proposition beforehand to the Son, and that the Son was in full agreement—not the Man Jesus, but the Logos. The proposition was that by the purchase of the whole human race through His sacrifice He might obtain the honor of Messiah—the opportunity of delivering and blessing the billions who had been condemned in Adam; and that He should be highly exalted, even to the Divine nature—far above angels, principalities, powers and every name that is named. (Philippians 2:1-11.) ALL THIS IS THE TRIUMPH OF LOVE OVER JUSTICE While Justice remains forever inviolate, yet Love is the victor. Mercy rejoicech against Justice. When once we see the Bible teaching concerning the Divine Plan, it gives us a confidence in the Bible as the Word of God. PROF. R. J. DANIELS. DANIELS SCHO Prof. R. J.

Governor Willis of Ohio is out of the 1916 race. He will sabordi- nate his ambition for the Presi- deney for party harmony. It looks now like Senator Weeks will be the standard bearer-in the next, Presi- dential coritest. The Bull Moose party has been obliterated, and be- fore the meeting of the next na- tional republican convention there will be perfect .harmony in the ranks of the + republican party. ‘There will be many candidates for the nomination for the presidéncy. and it is the opinion’ of The Bee that the defeat of Mr. Wilson will be. greater than that defeat of Mr. Taft in 1912. Democratic politicians say that the recent: elections~ carried with them no’ significance, but if the States had gone democratic the ad- ministration would have.said’ that jt was an indication of the country toward its policies. ,The best ¢vi- dence’ that the republican party will return to power is the seéming unity within its ranks. ‘There is one thing that the republican par- ty must do, and that is, to encour- age the colored voters throughout the eoantry to take an interest in their government.” Nine-tenths of them know that- the democratic party is inimical to their interests, and the other tenth must be taught the difference between. the republican ‘ind democratic parties, because -this one-tenth is com- posed of Negro democracy that continues to cling to false hopes and variegated ideas. There is a difference “between Northern’ and Southern democracy. The: former knows the, value of .the colored vote, while the latter hasn’t sénse enough to discriminate _ between good-and bad ‘citizenship and party gratitude. The: negro in the last presidential campaign was’ de- ceived. The, Bee warned him be- fore’ he threw his body and soul into the demoeratie party. Bishop Alexander Walters - was sincere when he assured his fol- lowers -that democratic administra. tion would fill the places then held by colored republicans with negro demoerats—every ‘place, * from a spittoon elianer to ‘the’ Assistant Attorney General” of. the United States. “But how bis hopes: have béen blighted; how has the ‘good bishop’s political. anticipations been given to the winds, never to return again. Out of the democratic victories in 1912 thousands of colored Amer- icans have - been. . discriminated against, and told that the black must respect; that cultured and educated eolored Americans must not sit at. the same desk. with the white.man; that our colored young ladies in'the Bureau of Engraving and: Printing use separate every: thing, God saw the injustice -o! this unneessary’ social ‘diserimina tion, and removed the instigator God will come again, and he wil not leave the next time until: h removes: every. hindrance in Negr progress and, civilization. Revolu tions never. go backward,” anc neither do Negro civilization anc wprogress. -If the colored .voter i not yet convinced of his mistak of 1912, he will never’ be. Th Bee believes that- he has- beet taught a‘lesson.’ It is a dangerous thing to follov new faces and worship new gods Let. ys . remain where we: ‘ar thrown, the camp of republic ism,-“-until- we are convincec that there are better camps it which wwe are able to improve ou! condition. : ‘The expected has happened. ‘Those who have followed the, trend of . political events’ forthe past months, knew sooner or later there would be an open break with DEEDS NOT WORDS, MR. PRESIDENT. President Wilson, in his weet heave * siee to this eetaniait i i mmber 4th, gave voice to this statement: ab Ne oan Ay, Nove ere should guard sgainet. ‘Wershould rebuke not only manifestations of racial feelings here in America where ‘there should be iione, but also every manifestation of religious and -sec- tarien antagonism.”" : | "Phat was a high, lofty and patriotic statement, and. just such @ statement that should be voiced by one supposedly the president’ of jall the people. President Wilson, ever since his itiduction into office, has been famed for the loftiness of his sentiments publicly expressed, land for the pure, Declaration-of-Independence-flavored utterances. But lest we forget let us reflect, for a moment, how his public utter- lances comport with his deeds. : y - In New York last Thursday he inveighed against the manifesta- tions of racial ‘feelings, and ‘yet no president of these United States, since the presumed uniting of the North and South under a common flag, has manifested a greater racial feéling than Woodrow Wilson. ‘Taking into consideration this New York speech of his, and his course, during his entire administration, persued in reference to the Negro, one cannot help but recall the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Although President Wilson, at-New York last week, inveighed against “‘manifestations of racial feeling,’ we recall that under him fevery Negro office holder was removed, and only because they were Negroes; that no Negroes were appointed by him to succeed Negroes, except to that fever-infested African country, Liberia, to: which no white man would go: We ‘recall that under this present lofty presi- dent of ours, segregation of Negro employees.in the government serv- ice obtained ‘for the. first time in'the history of this country the an- eesrs of these employees fought to establish and preserve. . We reeall that this ‘‘manifestation of racial feeling’”’ was fanned into a hideous, discouraging, un-American blaze by’ this same presi- dent, who: now inveighs against: it;. that because of his attitude to- wards the race, during his tenure of office, the rebel South, ushered into power, has held high lynching yevels, and that “‘manifestations of racial feeling"? have-spread, like a prairie fire, through the North. Lest we, forget, Mr. President, The Bée rises to’ ask—makes bold to ask of: you, who gave birth.and potency. to the ‘‘manifestations of racial feelings?’" Was it not one named Woodrow. Wilson? |. Lest we forget, Mr. President, we ask You to make a survey. of jyour administration, in so far as’ it has had. reference to tlie Negro jFace, and then ask yourself if your New York address is consistent with your course pursued during'the past three years... * ] It is too late now, Mr. President, after you haye inoculated the |North and South-with your own ‘manifestations of racial feeling”’ to attempt to lull the country, and eépecially the Negro race, into the belief that you are honestly and patriotically opposed to the ‘‘mani- festations of racial feelings:"? Two years of evil deeds, Mr. President, cannot be obliterated by one beautifully phrased, « high-sounding, patriotie-freighted sentiment. You, Mr. President, the Negro sadly reealls, was the first president in’a half century to give verility to the “manifestation of racial feeling’? which you-now, at almost the end of your term, most beautifully inveigh against... Your deeds, not your words, Mr. President, are what we judge you by. ' : Ereanent “Wilson - and_ William Jennings Bryan. Mr. Bryan. has jissued-a statement that he. will not support the’ administration’s: pre- paredness program. Demoerats realize that this‘defi from ‘the Commoner. means a split. in their party: which. presages- defeat” next November. Republicans’ are hopeful of sue- eess in the Presidential election. The: returns from’ Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Kentucky ‘and- Pennsylvania last ‘Puesday indicate unmistakably that the wayward. sisters of (1912 have Yeturned to the house of. their fathers, «The get together move- ment of Republicans and progres- sives in the country is bearing fruit. “When the campaign of 1916 begins there will be a United party. ‘The ‘democrats did not overlook their old trick by throw- ing“a bait at the Negro before the election. ‘The appointment. of [Jimes'L. Curtis as Minister: to Li: beria was nothing but political. fly paper. 1 eame too late. The be- highted Negroes who followed the fortinies of the democratic ‘party in 1912 haye long sinee become dis. gustéd with promises of reward. The game is not worth the can- ldle.””. “Whe genial and optimistic Bishop: Walters ‘will “be unable to [put any ‘pep’? in the United Col lored democracy again. Let the re. ' ptiblicans keep sawing wood, let us ‘keep patting our progressive broth: ers on the back and giving hint the glad. hand,, and. at_ the home, com- jing nest” fall, vietory «will be lyerched-upon our banner. WR RBRYAN. Ex-Seeretary of State Wilham Jennings Bryan, .total abstainer and’ a political’ Christian; » who ‘neyer appointed a negro democrat, for whom he: claimed to have so much Joye, to & diplomatic posi- tion the entire terny he was Scere- ties of State, has the same right to criticise ‘the President as any: body else. It is all well enough to prepare for war, but it is better to.have peace when we can, There is more happiness in peace than there is in anything else.+ How happier a man may feel when *h¢ is at peace with everybody. It is all well:enough to. ery war, pre- pare for war, and defend your honor when it is assailed. Thesé declarations sound beautifully. I would seem that this country’ ha: had enough widows and orphans on’ its-hands.. It hasn’t been re lieved of the burden of the lat Civil War. The Bee doesn’t mear to be understood that it-is not nec essary to be in readiness to defend yourself when: you are attacked But if we do nothing to-bring. or an assault, we have nothing to fear, Mr. Bryan may be right or he maj \be wrong. It is immaterial: what he may be, a8 Secretary of State he was a ‘political failure.

Why Shylock the Jew thought that the judgment of the . court would bi'in his favor, he declared in tones most eloquent’: that — the judge was-a most excellent indivi- dual, Another Daniel has come to judgment," remarked the . Jew. That pound of flesh he mist have and nothing less would. suit him. This reminds ‘The. Bee of the time when Mr. Justiew Covington took the bench and “sentenced several colored individuals. Certain. col- ored members of the bar deelared at the time that another Daniel had ‘come to judgment. is name was upott the lips of three-fourths of the eolored members of the bar, to ‘the effect. thit another Daniel had feome ‘to. judgment. ‘The Bee said editorially at. the time that’ these gentlemen were too-premature and ‘they should change the old for the new. i That Mi, Justice Gould,” Mr. Justice Anderson’ and Mv. Justice ‘Stafford: were The Bee's’ ideals for judges; that those ‘who are now erying that another Daniel had ‘come to judgment would be sing. ‘ing another song. Oh! You should ‘hear ‘those self-same members of ithe bar. ‘They have come to The | Bee within. the’past week and es. |pressed another thought. ‘Tie ol: lored brother is too impulsive.» He 13s too quiek to change from the old Ho the new. Let present. condition: be an example and remember tha “old tunes are the sweetest anc friends are the surest.’” 7 BURTON OHIO’S CHOICE? The newspapers state that Ohio will present the name. of ex-Sena- tor Burton as her choiee for Pres- ident. The Bee does not recall a single instance during his, entire term as Senator from Ohio when he ever opened: his mouth in de- fense ofthe race. He never spoke against a bill attacking. the’ rights of the race. The Bee also’ recalls that he was always too busy to ever accept an invitation to address a Colored. audience. The’ Bee. re- members ‘that Mr. ‘Burton was so satisfied with the jim-crowing of the Negro employees in the govern- ment service by the Wilson admin: istration that ‘he never uttered’ a sound against it. The Bee wants a candidate for President. who will stand by the race. Will Negro voters want Burton? -Will Burton please the Negro delegates to the next republican convention? ‘The Bee asks this question. , SUCCESSFUL WASHING: - MONT ANT The Syracuse University varsity football team leaves on’ a_conti- nental itinerary on the 20th inst.

MINISTER TO LIBERIA. Hon. James Curtis Given a Dinner— Attorney Armond W. Scott and Wife Host and Hostess, Assisted by Miss Estelle Coffey. One of the most brilliant social events that has taken place in this city was a dinner to Hon. James Curtis of New York, who was recently appointed minister to the Republic of Liberia. The host was Attorney Armond W. Scott and the hostess was his most amiable wife. She was as- M. S. S. HON. JAMES L. CURTIS, Minister of the United States to the Republic of Liberia. HON. JAMES L. CURTIS, Minister of the United States to the Republic of Liberia. sisted by Miss Estelle Coffey, a most pleasing young lady. The guests of honor were Hon. James L. Curtis of New York, Minister to the Republic of Liberia; Mr. A. Lincoln Brown, Judge Robert H. Terrell, Mr. Walter J. Singleton of Nebraska, Mr. John T. Howe, William J. Cliff ord. of Ohio, Dr. Edward D. Williston and Mr. W. Calvin Chase. The guests were received in the large, commodious double parlor. The front parlorers were most brilliantly illuminated, where the guests remained until little Armond W. Scott, Jr., made the announcement that dinner was ready. They repaired to the dining room below, where a most sumptuous table had been tastily set and decorated under the supervision of Mrs. Scott and her most accomplished assistant, Miss Coffey. The dinner was served in courses, under the direction of the hostess and her assistant. It was the work of an artist such as Mrs. Scott is, who never falls to make the guests of her most distinguished husband feel homeilike when they come within her presence. The dinner concluded with a stag by the male guests, in which the ladies took no part. The toastmaster was that prince of funmakers and eloquence, Judge Terrell, who introduced that old veteran editor and statesman, ex-Governor P. B.-S. Pinchback, who delivered a most timely and eloquent address. His tribute to the guest of honor, Mr. Curtis, was most timely. He said: 'I didn't attend this dinner in your honor as an appointee of the democratic administration, but because you are a man and a gentleman, and when the President appointed you he appointed not only a clean man but a most brilliant lawyer. Gov Pinchback concluded his address, after which the toastmaster introduced as the next speaker Editor W Calvin Chase. Mr. Chase extended the compliments of the press on the appointment to Minister Curtis, and was pleased to know that a distinguished member of the New York bar had been honored by this administration. Mr. W. H. Clifford of Cleveland, Ohio, was the next speaker, who, in a very few words, congratulated the appointment of Mr. Curtis, and hoped him a smooth and safe journey to the negro republic, and that he would do his duty as he saw it. Dr. Williston was next introduced. His advice was on sanitary lines, and if strictly followed he stood no danger of the African fever. Mr. Howe made a most pleasing Mr. Howe made a most pleasing address. Mr. Brown's address was short and pointed. The introduction of the toastmaster, of Mr. Singleton evolved the greatest merriment of the occasion, and Mr. Singleton was equally as entertaining. The last speaker was Mr. Curtis, who opened his address by suggesting a toast to the President of the United States. All stood and echoed the response. He next suggested, with bowed heads, a condolence to the family of the late J. Milton Turner, ex-Minister of Liberla, who died a few days ago. The address of Mr. Cu. tis was one of the most pleasing and one of the most sensible that you would desire to hear. The sentiment that received the applause 'was when he said "my duty is to my country, and at the same time I cannot forget that African marrow is in my bones. I stand before you, said Mr. Curtis, not as a democrat, but as a brother and a friend." He outlined briefly what he would endeavor to do in making his administration as minister to the black republic a success, and to follow strictly the sanitary advice given by Dr. Williston, and that the occasion shall be remembered by him as the greatest event in his life. This closed one of the greatest social events that has taken place in this city for some time. The many addresses presented by Judge Terrell in presenting the speakers were witty, timely, and eloquent. Many congratulations were bestowed upon the host, and hostess and Miss Jeffreys. Minister Curtis-left for New York Monday, from where he will sail, accompanied by his wife. A QUIET WEDDING. Mr. W. W. Martin, the Popular and Well-known Caterer, Married to Nettie E.

Richest Man Telis of Taking His First Job, Sixty Years Ago. Tarrytown, N. Y.-Nixty years ago John D. Rockefeller took his first job, and when the old man's attention was called to the fact it was evident that he had been thinking of the old days and that first job; for he had facts and figures at his fingers' ends. "It was Sept. 26, 1855, that I went to work in Cleveland as an assistant bookkeeper," he said, "and I worked from that date until Jan. 1 for $50. I wonder what the young men of today would say if they had to work that time for the money I received." "And I suppose then you got a raise?" a reporter asked. "Well, the rest speaks for itself," he replied. Mr. Rockefeller appeared to take much pleasure in thinking of the old days and that first job. He gave the reporter the impression that any young man who was willing to work and was thrifty would get along in the world. RECALLS 1861 SCENES. Preacher, Once Fiddler, Made and Lost Seven Fortunes. Shasta, Cal.—S. D. Newbill, evangelist, has just been on a visit here to recall the scenes of 1861, when he was a gold miner. "I mined some, but I fiddled more," explained the preacher, "for the miners liked my fiddling and paid well for it at the dances. "I came across the plains with ox teams and made $1,200 on the way selling whisky. I was in this old town for over a year, but I don't find any of the old faces or buildings. "I remember paying $1 for a mince pie, but I can't find even the site of the bakery." Newbill explained that he followed all the gold rushes, made seven fortunes and lost them all. Finally, twelve years ago, when broke, he took to preaching. LAST TRIP IN SEARCH OF A LOST GOLD MINE LAST TRIP IN SEARCH OF A LOST GOLD MINE If Unsuccessful Prospector Will Give It Up. New Westminster, B. C.—Wilbur Armstrong, a Washington prospector of seventy-two, plunged into the mountains of. Pitt range recently on his tenth trip in search of Slumagh's mine. For ten years Armstrong has made this pilgrimage every summer, but this, he says, will be the last if it proves as barren as the others. Armstrong is not the only man who has headed search parties in the attempt to locate this hidden treasure, whose location is asserted to be within twenty miles of the head of Pitt lake, yet which has been discovered by but one man, who is now dead, since Slumagh, the Indian after whom it is named, was hanged in the Jallyard at New Westminster in 1891. Walter Jackson, the second discoverer, panned out thousands of dollars' worth of gold'in a few days when he located it in 1901. Burying the main part of his treasure, he came out with dust and nuggets to the value of $3,000, intending to return and stake claims at his lensure. But he fell sick and, being about to die, behought him of Andrew Hall, who had grubstaked him at Guytos many years before. He wrote to Hall and drew a chart: Hall, finding himself in need of money in the Yukon, sold the letter and chart to a cousin of Armstrong, to whom the documents finally came. Jackson's description of his find, which is in a creek in a canyon to which there is no outlet except by an underground channel, says in part: "In going upstream I found a place where the bedrock was bare, and you will hardly believe me whea I tell you the bedrock, was yellow with gold. In a few days I gathered thousands, and there were thousands more in sight." MUTE, TALKS TO ANIMALS. Farmer Has Been Unable to Speak to Friends For Two Years. Crane, Mo.—Physicians are puzzled by an alliment which strikes W. H. Hilton dumb when he attempts to address persons near him, but permits him to speak plainly to persons at a distance or to animals. Hilton is a farmer and has suffered with the affliction since he had the whooping cough two years ago. He is sixty-five years old. Cools His Feet. Loasa Job. Bakersfield, Cal.—Traffic Officer Pinnell stood at the post of duty at a principal street crossing with his feet planted on a 300 pound cake of ice and watched the perspiring populace go by. Many persons langued. But the chief of police consulted the city manager, and the manager conferred with several councilmen, and none of them even smiled. They discharged Pinnell for conduct unbecoming an officer and reflecting on the climate of Bakersfield. is 10!; She wants to Vote. "Glens Falls, N. Y.—'Of course, I haven't many years to live, but my one ambition is to live long enough to cast a vote, and I think I will." These were the words of Mrs. Mary Sage, 107 years old. of Darrowsville, a small hamlet near here, as she signed the yellow slip indorsing woman suffrage. Mrs. Sage is the oldest woman in northern New York. VOTE BENEFIT TO WOMAN AND STATE BETTER POLLING PLACES. National Democratic Committeeman John Pattison Asserts Women Improved Them In Tone and Character. Another Declares Voting Is Human Right-Has Helped Washington. Washington.—One of the best ways to find out how equal suffrage works is to listen to what the people in the equal suffrage states have to say about woman suffrage. The testimony of Mr. John, Pattison, national Democratic committeeman of Washington, carries weight not only on account of Mr. Pattison's position, but because it is founded on facts and not on theories. When Mr. Pattison was interviewed he confessed frankly that at first he was opposed to woman suffrage on sentimental grounds. He had been taught to put woman on a pedestal, and he didn't just see how he was going to keep her on a pedestal if she persisted in going to the polls. He now acknowledges that to have been a false alarm and says that if she return to the old order of things were put to the votes today 90 per cent of the male voters would vote for woman suffrage. In a long and intimate connection with politics he has seen the convention halls and polls, "which formerly were too often the scene of drunk enfeebles, violence, improve in tone and character by the presence of the women delegates and voters." Women, he finds, have shown an active and helpful interest in civics and school matters! In municipal affairs they are keen, earnest workers, but national politics they are inclined to leave to the men. When Mr. Pattison was reminded that opponents of woman suffrage in the east held that equal suffrage had proved harmful to the western states, he negatived the idea emphatically. "It has been the best thing that has ever happened to us," said Mr. Pattison. "Our women of the west are the best mothers in the world, the best wives in the world, the sweetest sweet-hearts in the world." "Why shouldn't they be?" was the way Mr. Charles Lund, former chairman of the state Republican committee, answered the question, "Should women vote?" "They are just as capable of voting as the average man; they have the same brains, the same interests, the same feelings and prejudices. Suffrage has been a good thing for Washington, and it has been a good thing for the women. There have been no radical changes, but there has been a perceptible improvement in the tone of politics." Mr. Arthur Lee, president of the school board of Spokane, had this to say on woman suffrage: "If the women of Washington want the responsibility of the ballot the men of Washington want them to have it. Equal suffrage is still a comparatively recent innovation in Washington, and it is hardly fair to judge women's capacity for government in the few years that they have had an opportunity to voice their opinions. But it certainly has not worked any harm to the government and in instances has been of real benefit." Mr. Charles S. Albert, attorney for the Great Northern railroad, in indorsing woman suffrage says: "Some people seem to have an idea that voting is a ceremony that people perform laboriously, with much expenditure of time and energy. All we do in Washington is to go first to the primaries, the woman with her shopping bag or sometimes with her market basket, and the man with his newspaper, and when we get to the primaries if we don't know anything about the candidates we inquire from some one who does know, the women asking questions just as the men do. Then he trots off to his office and she to her shopping or to her home, and we don't consume any more of our time with politics until election day. Then we go cast our votes. It really is very easy—not exactly an arduous and nerve racking performance to ruin a woman's character or break down her health. We believe in equal suffrage in Washington just as we believe in wives and homes and children." WAHB, THE BEAR, SLAIN. Grizzly Famous In Story Killed on Wyoming Ranch. Cody, Wyo. — Wahb, the big bear made famous in stories by Ernest Seton Thompson, is dead. His long career was ended a few days ago by A. A. Anderson, who owns the ranch on which the animal lived. It was from Mr. Anderson's ranch that Mayor Mitchel of New York hunted bears last spring. Mr. Anderson has killed four bears during the summer, all on his own ranch. For years it has been the desire of Mr. Anderson to kill Wahb, but the animal always succeeded in outwitting the hunters.

Wants Cabinet Post to Laugh His Detractors Out of Court. New York.-May Iwin tills no position in President Wilson's cabinet, which precludes her reprimanding those she thinks talk too much, but as a suffragist who campaigned ardently for the president, she feels privileged to stand up for him. So she sent a letter, to President Wilson which said, among other things: "In these times, when our beloved country is facing the most crucial problems of its history, you have shown yourself as great a patrol and statesman as ever held the executive office. But as usual there are some agitators and self seekers who for the sake of notoriety are attempting to handicap the work of the president, even to the extent of hurling this nation into the bloodlest war of all history. I am only a humble almost citizen, but I think it the duty of every woman, child or man to encourage you with a direct approval of your course; hence this letter. "I would like to see a new department added to the government, to be known as the department of laughter. The function of it should be to laugh out of court these fools and self-seekers, these pests and jingoes who are trying to annoy you in your work. The rulers of old had their Sir Motleys and jesters for just such a purpose. I respectfully apply for the portfolio of this department on the supposition that I know a good laugh when I see one." Up to the hour of going to press the good submarine Oyster Bay had not even shown its periscope preparatory to firing an answering broadside. FEW LEFT IN SHAKERTOWN. Only Four Remain In Wealthy Kentucky Settlement. Lexington, Ky.—Four elderly and infirm persons are the only occupants of the immensely valuable Shaker settlement, one of the few remaining colonies of the sect, near here. Sisters Christine Johnson, eighty-four, and Martha Olson, eighty-seven, died one day recently within the hour. Shakertown, now so sparsely settled, once was a flourishing town, with manufactories and various business enterprises and controlling rich adjacent farm lands. Even now the property is valued at millions. Recently a trustee was appointed to manage the affairs of the colonists. Aeroplane Inventor Will Devote Life to Research Work. Dayton, O—Orville Wright, the aeroplane inventor, and manufacturer, is to devote his life to research work, giving up his business interests. The inventor for years has had the ambition to develop and amplify his research work, but since the death of his brother Wubur several years ago his time has been taken up almost entirely by the management of his business and patent litigation. In the last week two offers have been made for the Wright holdings here, but without success. Mr. Wright refused to make public any offers he has received, but Dayton bankers say substantial sums and credits were concerned. "I cannot say now how soon this change will come about or give any details of how or why it will be made," said Mr. Wright. It is said Mr. Wright's health is poor and he is in a nervous condition. Confronted with this as a possible motive for selling the plant, he still refused to reveal his intentions further. "I never was interested especially in the business end of it," said Mr. Wright. "I am not averse to making money from it. But that is not what I am striving for. "My patent litigation is going favorably, both in the United States and abroad. The court of appeals has sustained the decision of lower courts in every instance, and there is a little further work along those lines. "I have not gone into the war game as other aeroplane manufacturers have. The trouble has been in getting a high powered aeroplane motor that is reliable. They are pretty delicate things, but I am working on a new 120 horsepower engine which I have not put on the market." Concerning the New York newspaper story in which it was said the German government held an option on the Wright plant, Mr. Wright had an explanation to make. "The story is an untruth. I know that it was based merely on a suggestion that the German government got an option on this company. Some one thought it would be a good scheme for the Germans to buy the Wright company and prevent other countries from getting any machines. A letter to that effect was written to the German consul at New York, and from that source the story eminated." Beez Rout Workers. Hammond, Ind.-The icing gang of the Indiana harbor belt yards at Riverside was driven from the Pacific fruit express by bees, and the train was held up on the way to New York. The swarm had "homed" in the lining of a refrigerator carc. The bees could not be distracted and went on with the HIS PROPHEGY FULFILLED. Dna Year Has Cost More Than Estimated Value of All Property of United States West of Mississippi. Would Pay National Debts of All Nations. Philadelphia.—Rev. Dr. J. Henry Smythe, editor, author, traveler, lecturer, chancellor of the American university, Tennessee two years ago last February made the following startling prophecy while speaking at Knoxville: "One hundred years or more ago Napoleon, in the fiery flush of manhood's morning, was master of all France. The Egyptian and the Austrian campagnus were over. Russia was invaded. England was threatened. Spain was sublugated. "The whole continent of Europe was prostrate and paralyzed. Millions of armed men were in the field, and conflict and carnage raged from the Tiber to the Thames. But Nelson pounded Napoleon, on the sea, and Wellington pounded him upon the land, and together, they pounded him to pieces. Ellen and Waterloo were but the blood stained stepping stones to St. Helena. "If you will stand with me tonight at the hinges of history and look along the sky line of current events you will see that war is simmering in every arsenal of Europe and every wave that breaks upon the shore is red with blood. Yet Tlentsin and Port Arthur, Havana harbor and Manila bay were but the shifting sword, moved by the hidden hand of God, in the awful and unending tragedy of time." "We estimate the cash cost of the European war to Aug. 1, 1915, at $17,000,000,000," says Dr. Smythe, "while other known losses will amount up to make a grand total of $46,000,000,000. No one can have even the faltest conception of what $46,000,000,000 may be. It is four times all the coin in the world. If this sum were measured out in twenty dollar gold pieces and they were placed side by side on the railway track, on each rail, they would cover with gold every line from New York to the Pacific ocean, the two Canadian lines included. There would be enough left over to cover each rail of the Siberian railway from Vladivostok to Petrograd. There would still remain sufficient to rehabilitate Belgium and to buy the whole of Turkey, at her own valuation, wilping her finally and forever from the man. "Or we may figure in some other fashion. The average workingman in America earns $518 per year. It would take 90,000,000 years' work to pay the cost of the war up to date, or 90,000,000 American laborers might pay it off in one year if all their living expenses were paid. "The cost of a year of the great war is a little more than the estimated value of all the property of the United States west of the Mississippi river. It is nearly equal to the total value of all the property in Germany, $48,000,000,000; as estimated in 1906. The whole Russian empire, $35,000,000,000, could have been bought for a less sum before the war began. It could be had, on a spot cash sale more cheaply now. This sum would save paid for all the property in Italy, $13,000,000,000; Japan, $10,000,000,000; Holland, $5,000,000,000; Belgium, $7,000,000,000; Spain, $6,000,000,000, and Portugal, $2,500,000,000. It is three times the entire yearly earnings in wages and salaries of the people of the United States, $15,500,000,000. "The first year's cost of this war would pay the national debts of all the nations in the world at the time the war broke out. If all the farms, farming lands and factories in the United States were wiped out of existence the cost of this war would more than replace them. If all the personal and real property of half our nation were destroyed or if an earthquake of incredible dimensions should shake down every house from the Atlantic to the Pacific the waste would be less than that involved in this war up to date. And such an elemental catastrophe would leave behind it no costly legacy of hate. "And then the aftermath—good God, the aftermath!" ARE WED IN LOCKUP CELL. Ohio Bride Wanted Ceremony to Be "Out of Ordinary." Sandusky, O.-Miss Luella Martin of Toledo and James Edward Wessel of Detroit were married in a cell in Putin-Bay village lockup by Justice of the Peace Homer Ramey. "We want something out of the ordinary in the way of a ceremony," said the bride elect. "Try a jail cell," suggested Squire Ramey. And they did. Saw a White Crow. Harbor Springs, Mich. A very uncommon freak of nature has lately been observed here in the shape of a snow white crow, which mingles with a flock that makes its home on and about the Thomas Kneale farm. It is all white excepting a spot on its tail and one on its breast and furnishes a strange contrast to its black companions. SHAVED BY SWISS ON BORDER Austrian Soldiers Operated on Through Barbed Wire Fences. Innsbruck, Austrian Trol. — The Swiss-Austrian frontier is carefully marked off and closed by barbed wire fences, but that does not prevent fairly free intercourse between the Swiss and the Austrian soldiers. Soldiers of both countries are grouped along the Engadine border and in the Swiss ranks is a barber, the only one of his profession on either side. A recent visitor to this front who desired to have a shave found it was obtainable by the simple expedient of sitting in a chair on the Austrian side and allowing the Swiss soldier to extend his arms through the wire meshes The shave was not the equal of one in a regular barber shop; a bit ragged and rough in spots, but it was better than none and was accomplished with out any breach of neutrality. Austrian officers, it is asserted, resort al most daily to the odd expedient. STOLE HIDE FROM COW. Thief Took Advantage of Auto's Collision With the Animal. Baraboo, Wis.—Recently a cow belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Cohn was struck by an automobile owned by Edward Kowalke of North Freedom. The cow was tethered in the road for a pasture, and the driver of the car claims he tried to avert an accident but could not. The leg of the cow was broken, and the animal had to be killed. Action was begun in Justice Adolph Andro's court on the ground the machine was being driven too fast, and later a change of venue was taken to Justice H. L. Halsted's court, where the case was dismissed, as the car, was not going twenty-five miles an hour. Besides, cows should not pasture in the highway. The hide was removed from the animal, and later the sheriff was notified that this had been stolen. The thief has not been apprehended. Destruction of Records by Big Chicago Fire Recalled. New York.—If fire should destroy the hall of records the city would lose its files of deeds and mortgages, upon which rest the title of Manhattan's $5,000,000,000 of realty. Register. Hopper recommended in presenting his budget estimates for 1916 to the board of estimate that the duplicate abstract records which he has completed be housed in a fireproof building away from the city. The original plant would be retained in the office for title searching purposes. This method of duplicate plants in separate localities is followed by the large title and insurance companies, but the city has neglected to protect its records. On record in the register's office are 1,039,915 deeds and over 1,000,000 mortgages. The books or libers number over 8,000. The destruction by fire of the Equitable building and of the contents of a part of the capitol at Albany proved that merely depositing records in a fireproof building does not safeguard against partial or total destruction by fire. The great fire in Chicago destroyed the original records, but the damage was mitigated to a degree by the fact that abstracts made by a private company were saved. It placed owners largely at the mercy of the title company, which took huge profits from selling the abstract information. Fire and earthquake at San Francisco and fire at Jacksonville. Fla., illustrated further the great loss resulting from a destruction of title records. "The establishment of the Torrens system," says the register. "In the way it has been successfully and universally applied in Australia and many other countries, would do away completely with the need of preserving old records except for their historical interest." TO HONOR DANIEL BOONE. D. A. R. Will Unveil Bowlder Next Month. Montgomery City, Mo.-After nearly 40 years a monument is to be erected over the burial place of Daniel Boone near Marthasville. Warren county, through the efforts of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It is to be made of a large red granite bowler found in Warren county, which Boone selected as his last resting place. It is planned to dedicate the marker Oct. 20 at the close of a conference of the Missouri Daughters which is to be held in St. Louis. Student a Hero. Franklin. Ind.—Oscar Bogard of Lyons, who is attending the summer course at Franklin college, has become a hero in the opinion of his friends in rescuing a horse from death under a train. The horse broke loose from a hitchrack in front of the college campus and ran along the railroad tracks. The buggy, was demolished and the horse became entangled in the harness and fell on the tracks. A train was approaching at full speed when Bogard with almost superhuman strength dragged the horse from the tracks only a second before the engine whizzed br. LAUGHS SELF TO DEATH. Victim Forced to Leave L. and Dead on Lawn. Patchogue, N. Y.--During a dinner of the Jeffersonian' Democratic club at Avery's hotel, on the beach at Blue Point. William P. Gardiner, a prominent resident of this place, strangely disappeared. Mr. Gardiner laughed so immoderately at jokes that were passing about the table that he had to leave the table. He walked on the veranda, and then the merrymakers forgot all about him. When he had not returned to his home his wife made inquiries. His friends recalled that he had left the table, but they had not seen him after that. A search was begun, and his body was found in a flower bed on the hotel lawn. Coroner E. S. Moore of Bayshore ordered an autopsy, and it was found that he had died of heart disease; that probably his heart was not strong enough to stand the strain of his continued and hearty laughing. PAT-PAT·PLEADER·A KISSER. Anti-osculator Was Busy In Former Days, Say Nieces. Huntington, W. Va.-Dr. E. W. Grover, president of the Huntington board of health, has met with an unkind setback in his campaign to do away with kissing and substitute the "pat-pat," in which one gently taps the cheeks of his beloved instead of imprinting old fashioned kisses on her lips. His three nieces, Mrs. Mertle Funk, Mrs. Rome Huker and Mrs. Mary Grover, who live in Los Angeles, Cal., have now written: "When it came to osculatory pursuits our uncle was a humdinger in bygone days. The other boys didn't have a chance with him. He was some kisser." Dr. Grover has received hundreds of letters, protesting against his "pat-pat" system: A Cleveland man has termed him "a superannuation old stick." FINDS DISEASE PERIL IN SWIMMING POOLS Washington. A swimming pool, says the United States public health service, may become polluted and transmit disease. Ninety-one large municipalities in the United States have established public swimming pools to meet the desire for knowledge of swimming. The public health service publishes an article by Dr. Wallace A. Manhelmer of Columbia university on the results obtained from an examination of six pools. It is pointed out that in swimming in polluted water typhoid fever, conjunctivitis and other diseases may be contracted. The report gives in detail the results of the bacterial analyses made of the various pools and also of the effects of refiltration and chemical disinfection. When the water is unfiltered it is apt to be cloudy, thereby making the danger of accidental drowning very great. When refiltration is practiced the water becomes clear and this danger is oblated. The report concludes that the cubic capacity of a pool affects its sanitary condition, that the process of adding dilution water is an efficient means of reducing the number of bacteria and that supervision of the health of attendants is an important factor. The combination of refiltration and disinfection by the use of calcium hypo-chlorite renders the sanitary conditions of the water excellent, says Dr. Manheimer. WED AFTER FORTY YEARS. Old Sweethearts Meet and In a Few Hours Are Engaged. Evansville, Ind.—Joseph Parrott fifty, of Wichita, Kan., and Mrs. Penels ope Riggs, aged fifty, of this city, sweet hearts forty years ago, were married at St. James M.
