The American soldier is free and
easy. but the world hasn't his equal
as q good soldier. Let's be content
with him, allowing Europe to make
automatic out of her fighting material.
Good, scrappy, alert, selfrespecting
men make the ideal soldiers. And
that's the sort Of man the American
soldier is allowed to remain, no matter
how long he may serve Old Glory In
the field.

William Phelps, a colored laborer Of
Richmond, KY, lost his life as the re-
suit Of an act which shows him to have
been hero indeed. Phelps and STAINS
bury, another negro, were at work
cleaning the inside Of q steam boiler,
when through the criminal carelessness
Of some one connected with the plant
the scalding steam was turned on. Al
most instantly 1t filed the interior of
the boiler, and the two men, facing an
awful death, sprang for the ladder
which led to the manhole at the top
and which furnished the only way of
getting out of the death trap. Phelps
reached the ladder first. In fraction
Of minute he might have reached the
top and been safe. But instantly he re-
memberered that he was single and had
no one depending ON him for support,
while Stansbury was married and had
large family. So, with a self -abnega-
ton more meritorious than any giori'
Gus deed performed under the excite
ment Of battle, he turned aside and tolc
Stansbury to go first. "You go first,
JIM" shouted "Bill' Phelps. "You are
married" Stansburg sprang to the top,
escaping with slight injuries. Phelps
followed as quickly as possible, but he
was fatally burned. Dying, he said:
1T was Jim's right to go first He is
married" 1t has often been said that
the negro race lacks high moral quail
ties, but here is negro who was a
hero under circumstances as adverse
as 1t is possible to conceive. With life
within his grasp he voluntarily gave 1t
up that another might be saved. Great
er love hath no man than this; that he
lay down his life for his friend"

SHE WON'T JOIN UNION.
one Woman Prevents UnionIzina of
 Government Printing Office.

From the New York Times
 Washlngtor-The decision of one wom- an may determine whether there shall be a strike in the government printing of - flee or whether 1t will be completely un- ionized 4-
 For some time efforts have been made to enroll in a union the press feeders and assistants, and the enrolment has been so complete that but one woman, now away on her annual leave. remains out side the organization. This woman Is hfty-five years of age, and has been in the government service for twenty-five years
 Her name is Nora Callahan. and she has steadily refused to join the proposed union, being supported until recently by other women employees.
 She will be asked again to join the or- ganization. Should she refuse, 1t is said that further action will be taken by the union,'
 As 1t has been frequently asserted that after the union formed none of its mem- bers would work with independent feed CTS or assistants the further action be- lieved to be implied by the announce nent is refusal to work in the printing office if Miss Callahan is retained. There Is no charge that the woman Is inefficient. She is under the civil service rules, and the Public Printer can remove her only for cause stated and an opportunity given her to reply.
 Should MT. Palmer discharge her be- cause she Is free feeder, the civil serv- ice commission may take action against him, under the law prohibiting removals for political reasons. The opinion is that a strike will not be ordered. The city Is stocked with independent printers and berths in the government printing office are held too highly to permit those who enjoy them to tempt the public printer to fill places with unorganized workmen and women.

COTTON MARKET
 TOOK 4 SPURT Opened Weak With Few Buyers
 in the Pit GOOD DEMAND AT MIDDAY Trade Was Almost Entirely of Pro. fessionaI Type-The Close Was Steady, With Prices to 2
 Points Net Higher.

New York, September 1.-The market for cotton futures opened weak with prices three to ten points lower under a spurt of local and outside liquidation and temporary absence of buyers, due in part to the shock received in the news from Buffalo and In part to bearsh Liv- erpool cables The first wave of selling carried October to 7.65 and January to 7.6S. But before 1o:90 the market scored complete change of front and a good demand from both sides prices shot up seven points with shorts once more on the defensive. During the rest of the morning the market was irregular, but not weak at any time. Trade was ai- most entirely of a professional type.
 The market closed quiet and steady, net five to seven points lower.

break in prices, as was expected from the Influence of American selling orders. Only moderate decline was reported in both departments. This action served to establish a more cheerful tone here, which was stimulated by bulletins con> veying the basis for hope of the Presi- dents recovery. Prices opened slightly lower and improved a little the tone late becoming exceedingly quiet Closing quo- tations to points lower than yesterday, The artificial influence at work on the market, dissipates all opinions based on legitimate factors. There Is no change from the previous nature of surrounding features, but unfavorahle possibilities presented by this unexpected vilianous at tack upon the President calls for the ex- ercise of unusual caution. The idea pre- vailed, however, that numerous spot en- agreements for September delivery await fufllment and 1t Is probable, therefore. that fair demand will continue in that department for awhile. Under the clr- cumstances should any serious break In prices be occasioned by an adverse change in the Presidents condition, 1t appears as If a good opportunity would then be presented on which to buy.
