In a Soldiers Home

Harvey r. West, who is in the
National Home for Soldiers at Dan
vile, Illinois, has written a letter to
Albert Helms describing the comforts
and conveniences he now enjoys
There are about 5000 soldiers there,
mostly Dutch and Irish and few
negroes, who have nothing to do but
sit and smoke and read or do any
thing proper to amuse themselves.
They have plenty Of books and papers.
He says many of the inmates look
ADLER to work than many soldiers
who are not there but thinks they
should be for it is a good place. The
officers are kind and Obliging and
treat the men well. The buildings
are of brick, steam heated, with all
modern conveniences. Clothing and
bedding all furnished and washing
free of charge. Every soldier who
draws a pension has it all for his own
use, except VIXEN married, when the
wife gets one-half Evidently Har-
vey is enjoying himself and having a
real good time. He says fishing in
season is good and the veterans have
a pond all by themselves.

Public Land Frauds

1t is a significant fact and it is an
uncertain argument to the western
congressman who contend that the
present operation Of the desert land
act and the commutation clause Oft the
homestead act are used for speculat-
i've purposes by the big stock outfits,
that during the past year hundreds
of thousands Of Uncle Sam's best
acres have been taken up under these
laws in Montana, Arizona, and in
sections Of other states, while at the
same time there has been no increase
in population, showing that the lands
have not been acquired by actual
settlers at all. This simply means
that the spectators and the land
grabbers have extended their areas
through fraudulent entries Of these
lands. II is time that the people OF
the country took hold of this question
and put an end to this era of whole
sale stealing Of public domain.

Senators and members of congress
are receiving letters from all parts
of the country protesting against the
proposed amendment of the law
whereby it will be possible to detain
cattle on trains without food or
water for 40 hours instead of %
hours as is now provided. The
humane people of the country appear
to be incensed at the proposition and
are bringing strong pressure to bear
on their representatives to defeat
the amendment which is in the
interest of the railroads and cattle
dealers and is being vigorously
lobbied by their representatives,

Senator Quay's latest move has
been TO attach the statehood bill to
the agricultural appropriation bill,
which was accomplished Saturday,
but he has also given notice that he
will attach 1t to the sundry civil and
the post Office appropriation bills.
So long as he maintains his major
itY in the senate, which now num-
bers about twelve, there will be no
possibility of defeating him except
by talking to death those appropri-
alton bills to which be attaches his
obnoxious measure. This, Senator

ing to place the blame for the Wash

He says that somewhere among the
regular or independent operators, the
coal roads or the retail merchants,
downright robbery is going on and
he proposes to place the blame. We
will keep this committee going until
March if necessary. Speaking of soft
coal prices, he said: ga price of
1925 a ton for soft coal is outrageous,

seeretary SHAW On ProLeetion

At the celebration of President Me
Kinley's birthday in New York,
Secretary Shaw paid a beautiful tri-
butte to the memory of the martyred
president. Referring to the tariff
issue, of which Mckinley was ex-
FOUNDER, he said: 1 am aware that
most Of the textbooks and many Of
the colleges teach free trade, and /
admit that free trade is theoretically
correct. am aware that nearly every
statesman whose wisdom has cOntri-
buted to the advancement of in
dustrial prosperity in the United
States during the last century has
taught protection, and ] insist that
practically speaking protection is

Muss over Hawaii

The unanimous protest which went
up from Hawaii against the adoption
of the recommendations of the senate
subcommittee has checked for the
present all action on the general
measures proposed. 1t is not likely
that congress will act upon any Of the
suggestions unless it is the private
irrigation bill which is being advocat-
ed by a powerful lobby, who seek to
have the bill brought up when most
of the senators are in their committee
rooms and only Ave or six are on the
floor. This is the last resort by which
'jobsn are rushed through The
exclusion Of pertinent testimony from
the record, which, had it been in,
would have made the report impOssi-
BILE, has oceasioned much unfavorable
comment in congressional circles. 1t
is now learned that a majority Of the
committee have decided to have this
testimony added to the record by way
of a supplemental report.

Bringing Up Children

Among the passengers in a train
we're lady, a nurse girl and a little
boy. The boy pinched the nurse S
face, tore her bonnet, kicked and
screamed as only a spoilt child can
Whenever the nurse demonstrated
the injudicious mother said: "Lel
him have it, Mary. Let him alone :"
Finally the mother composed her
self for a nap and about the time
the boy had slapped the nurse for
the fiftieth time a wasp came sailing
in and few on the window, and
the boy tried to catch it.
Harry mustn't touch it 1t
will bite Harry ~
Harry screame and began to kick
the nurse. The mother, without
opening her eyes, cried out sharply
"Why will you tease that child
so, Mary9 Let him have what he
wants, at onceP"
"But, ma am, it's a."
"Let him have it, say"
Thus encouraged, Harry clutched
at the wasp, and caught it. The
yell that followed brought tears OF
joy to the passengers. The mother
woke again.
MARY, let him have it, )" she cried
Mary turned in her seat and said,
quietly:
"He's got it, ma'am |"

Cambridge Springs a Winter Resort
AND WHY


AND WHY
The idea that because "a change"
is needed it is necessary at this
season to go to some much warmer
climate, is not always correct. Such
a course may sometimes be neces-
sary, but in nervous troubles, dis
order of the digestive functions,
kidney complaints and many others,
nothing is gained, and much is often
lost by breathing an enervating
atmosphere when vitality and vigor
most are needed. Besides, one is
seldom comfortable in such places
because there are cold days there,
with no facilities to meet them.
The best place to thoroughly en-
Joy and benefit by cold weather is in
"a dry, ozonic atmosphere, with
ample preparations for keeping
warm, a generous table, good society.
opportunity for exercise indoors,
such as enclosed balconies. sun

The negotiations between Vene-
zuela and the foreign powers, which
have been conducted in Washington,
have not so far accomplished any
material results and the present
prospects are that the difficulties
will have to be referred to the Hague
Tribunal eventually. Minister
Bowen has conducted the case of
Venezuela with great ability but the
desire of the allies to have their
claims regarded as pref rred has
thus far checkmated his efforts 1t
is now expected that the creditors
of Venezuela who have resorted to
war methods will protest against
any system which would afford an
advantage to Germany and Great
Britain. The United States is in
hearty sympathy with this position
as many Of its citizens are interested
in the settlement which is expected.
