INSTEAD of squaring the admins
tration with the users of hemp cord
and rope. Assistant Secretary Mel
klejohn's contradictory statements
about the war in the Philippines
having nothing to do with the pres
ent high price Of hemp, have served
to direct public attention to what
looks like a scandal involving the
War Department, or some of its
subordinates. How the thing looks
to outsiders may be judged from
the following remarks of Mr. l.. j.
Powell, a Hong Kong business man
who is now in Washington: THE
surprising inactivity of the [. :.
War Department in the matter of
opening the hemp ports OF the Phil
ippines is hard to understand.
With the price of hemp more
than 4OOR above the normal, and
the whole supply in the hands of II
few wealthy spectators holding on
for n still greater advance, it will
be a hard year for the wheat grow
ers and shipping men. American
farmers use $4,000, 900 worth of
binder Irvine each harvest, and if
the bill should be swollen to two
or three times that figure no doubt
there will he some lively kicking
from them. 1t is openly charged
in the East that some of the mill
tary authorities in the Philippines
are on the friendlicst terms with
the spectators who have cornercd
the market, and are representing
that to open the ports and ship out
hemp would put money in the in
surgents'' pockets. This is abSo
lutely a false statement, for all the
hemp now. stored at blockadcd
ports is owned by American and En-
glish merchants. There are no in
surgents in the vicinity of many of
the closed harbors, yet the militia
rY authorities refuse to let reputa-
Biz merchants remove their proper
ty."~''" i

Stem, n. j., is notable for being one
of the oldest towns in that state. One
of its most venerable objects is a brick
dwelling on East Broadway, once oc-
cupicd as a hotel, which was erected
in 1891 The building is in fair state
of preservation and is referred to with
a pardonable pride by the people of
the little town. The court house was
built in 1873 and justice IS still. 1imiu-

WHEN orders issued this week by
the War Department are carried
ont theU. 5. government will own
and maintain two lines of ocean
steamships, one from San Francis
co to Honolulu and Manila, and
one from New York to Cuban and
Porto Rican ports. In view of this,
it would seem to he about time for
the republicans to stop calling men
who believe that the government
should own all transportation lines
cranks. If it be right and proper
for the government to own two
steamship lines, what would be
wrong about its owning all the
railroad, steamship and telegraph
lines, if the people so demanded.

Mrs. ELLIS, sister OF Oliver
Schrciner, is out in an impassioned
address urging that the English are
waging war in Africa because OF
the oppression bv the Beers of the
colorcd race, and she further says
that it is war for the Lord of
Hosts. Poor deluded woman If
we understand it, the English are
spilling their blood in Africa for
Joseph Chamberlain and Cecil

shoot down that hole This is a
quaint way Of putting practical
truth. SO many preachers are
shooting classical squits at litter

why they get no game. Studied in

This is the secret of some OF sam

all might well initiate him.
We recently had the pleasure of
hearing Robert Burdette deliver

and never yet have | seen one display
the slightest fear of death" This re-
markable statement was made by a
physician who has practiced many
years in Philadelphia and who has
seen n great deal of hospital service.

IT WILL not surprise many peo-
pie if very soon it is learned that
the only way to control the trusts
is for the government to own
them-the railroads., the telegraph,
the express business, all the big
corporations, and so on down the
line, and run them in the interest
of the whole people. They are
operated now in the interest of
only a special few don't you see?
And instead of the government
controlling them they are about to
control the government.

Their "meetin'But
No Eatin'."

That was an immense audience
which gathered Friday night at
A. o. wv. Hall to witness the in
stallation of the Modern Woodmen
officers.
The program was proceeding
nicely when in the midst Of Joseph

come there was II sudden drop, APP
parently, of the floor of the hall,
and only the presence of mind of
f.. T.. Jones and few others pre-
vented stampede for the door
People thought the building was
going to fall. 1t was decided to
adjourn to the Baptist Church and
complete the exercises.
Mr.. Mcintyre finished his words
Of welcome. Then followed n
pleasing quartet by Messrs La
Force, Threlkeld, Nicholas and
Jesse. Miss Pinkie West and Mrs.
Edward Kunkle also entertained
the audience with Il duet. Prof.
ID. A. McMillan's rendition of
James Whitcomb Riley's Knee
Deep in June was one of the most
enjoyable numbers on the program.
Mrs. j II. Jesse's performance on
the violin delighted all. a vocal
duet by Ruby and May Horton was
also Il pleasing feature.
Rev. j. Porter delivered the adj
dress of the evening. 1t was IA
strong plea for the principles of the
Modern WOOdmen order and was
crammcd with wit and humor from
beginning to end.
The adjournment from the hall
made it necessary to dispense with
the supper, so there was the meet

The height OF the human figure is

Whether the form is slender or plump,
the rule holds good any deviation
from it is a departure from the high
est beauty in proportion. The Greeks
make all their statues according to
this rule. The face from the highest
point OF the forehead, where the hair
begins, to the chin, is one-tenth of the
whole stature. The hand, from the
