A few years ago, Congress voted
100 acres of land to each soldier,
who actually served In the war of
1912, the proof of service being his
name on the pay roll. 1t appeared
that there were very few hard
cases, where persons had served, but
whose names could not be found on
the rolls. A bill was accordingly
passed, authorizing oral testimony
of service. What was the conse-
quence? Twenty-seven thousand
men came forward and proved, in
the most satisfactory manner, that
they were in the battle Of Platts-
burg, September, 1914, while the
fact is there were only eight thous-
and men on our side in the battle /;
and the battle had taken place forty
years before. thought to be remark
ed to save the government from dis
grace, that the proofs in all these
cases were so complete and regular
that there was no setting them aside,
and though in the aggregate they
were monstrous lies, yet they could
not be rejected individually.

FREE DOUGLAS AND THE
PLANTERS HOUSE.
He is Refused Its HOspifalities,
Denied Access to the Dining

Deufed Access to the DINING
Room.
Hon. Fred Douglas, in ability,
culture and gentlemanliness every
where recognized as among the
foremost of Americans, arrived in
our city yesterday morning to spend
few hours in visiting some old
friends, before proceeding by rail to
Greenville, Illinois, where he had
an engagement to lecture in the
evening. He registered his mama
at the Planters House, and left TO
calf upon his friends, and after a
couple Of hours returned to the
Planters to dine. When proceed
ing to the dining hall, he was inter- |
rupted and asked if he was register !
ed He replied that he was. The
statement was questioned, the book
referred to, and it then appeared
that his name had been scratched
off! He asked the reason, and the
parsonage confronting him declined
to give any. After several inquir-
les for the cause, and being at last
told he, Douglas, ought to know,
the latter in substance replied that
the very fact that the reason was
refused showed it to be an infamous
reason, and with remarks to the
effect that he rarely experienced such
treatment, and expected to live to
see the day when those who had ad-
ministered it would themselves be
ashamed of it, he withdrew to look
for dinner elsewhere.
During the conversation a large
crowd gathered about the speakers
and several gentlemen exhibited
their sympathy with Mr.. Douglas,
one declaring as he retired that it
was ga damned outrage" and others,
that instant proceedings ought to be
instituted to compel the Planters
House to open its doors, as long as it
pretended to be public hostelry, to
all gentlemen, irrespective of the
color of their skin.
Mr.. Douglas, whose princely bear
ing and gentlemanly demeanor are
as well known to the public as his
erudition and scholarly tastes, is re-
ceived in other hotels throughout
the country without the least show
of objection, and is entertained glad
ly in private by the most cultured
and refined people of the land.
This is the first difficulty of the kind
he has received on his present lee
ture trip, and it is shameful reaec-
tion on st. Louis hospitality that it
was permitted to occur here. At
Dunkirk, where he was denied ad-
mission to the leading hotel six years
ago, he was received last week with
pleasure, and courteously entertained.
A few days ago he was at the Michi-
gan Avenue Hotel, Chicago, which
had been honored by the recent pre-
sence there of Alexis of Russia. At
Springfield he was offered the gratui-
tous hospitalities of the two principal
, hotels, and at Jacksonville he receiv-
ed the same marked attention.
, Whatever may be said of his race,
Fred Douglas is a gentleman, so far
as brains, culture and refinement can
make one, and is the peer ofany OF
the guests of the first hotels in the
land. Yet it seems that mis- name is
unfit for the Planters House regis.
ter, and that the Planters House
hospitality cannot afford him the
dinners he would pay for. Fol-
shame!-[ Missouri Democrat.

We have received two numbers of a monthly
paper called ''The Word, edited by L. H Hey
wood, and published in Princeton. Among the
reform" doctrines it advocates are the follow
ing: "All claims 10 property, not founded on a
labor title, are morally void" there should be
an extinction OF interest, rent, dividends, and
profit, except as they represent work done;'
and there should be a reputation of "an so
called debts the principal whereof has been pail
in the form of interest" Probably Mr.. Hey
wood knows precisely what these proposition
mean, but Others will require definite explana
fipns
