CURRENT COMMENT

The Washington Evening Star 0nd.)
says: 1T is to the Kaisers credit that
most of the talk about our fighting
Germany comes from this side of the
water"
The Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep)
says: Suppose Charles NJ. Schwab did
buy the Bethlehem Steel Company for
100000 ana sell it for $1,000, 900,
would not his critics consider that a
good stroke of business if they had
done it themselves"
The Washington Post Qnd.) says:
''The receiver for the United States
Shipbuilding Company charges Charles
NJ Schwab with having fraudulently
unloaded a $4,000, 600 plant on the trust
for $30,000,000. Still there are some per-
sons who imagine that Mr.. Schwab has
paresis."
The New York World (Dem.) says:
THE action of the steel trust in cut
ting the quarterly dividend upon its
common stock from 81 to so cents was
wise and conservative, though some
what late in the day. There is no rea-
son why it should create more than a
passing market Hurry. For H. the trust
is here to stay whatever increases its
stability should be reassuring.'
The Chicago Tribune (Rep.) says:
THE promptness and fearlessness with
which the grand jury at Lynchburg.
Tenn, indicted fourteen of twenty
seven men named by the coroner's jury
as guilty of 'wilful, malicious. deliber-
ate and premeditated murder in the
recent lynching of the negro, Allen
Small, is another illustration of the de-
termned effort which is being made
in the South, if not altogether to sup
press the lynching evil, at least to
minimize il. 1t is one of the most en-
couraging features of this effort that it
is made most resolutely in the states
which in the past have had the worst
records for lVnchinr"

Commissioner of Pensions Ware has
announced that, under existing laws,
the ebb-tide of pension payments has
set in; that were no new laws granting
| pensions passed. there would hence
forth be a gradual reduction in the
amounts of pension payments by the
| government. This announcement mas
| been received with dissatisfaction by
the Grand Army of the Republic. One
hundred and forty millions of dollars
year, that patriotic organization
thinks, is little enough for a grateful
| government to distribute in bounties
to those survivors of the war between
the states who went into the conflict
for pure love of country. These sur
vivors have drawn from the public
treasury during the thirty eight years
| that have elapsed since the close of
| the war something like three thou
sand millions of dollars. and yet they
are not satisfied. They are still clam
oring for more, more, more!
At the approaching session of Con-
gress a bill is to be introduced to grant
! pensions to every soldier who served
in the union army as much as sixty
days, or to the widows of such SOL
diers This is the service pension bill
that has been discussed for several
years. Under it the mere fact that a
| man was enlisted for sixty days,
whether he ever saw service or sus-
tanned injuries, will entitle him to
| draw a pension. 1t is not to be an
| honorarium from the government for
services rendered or disabilities sus-
tanned, but rake-off for every living
man or the widow of every dead man
who was on the muster rolls for sixty
days. Gen. John c. Black, the new
COMMUNICATIVE chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, has begun his admin
stration with a declaration in favor
of the bill He says the organization
will fight from now on for a pension
for every union veteran of the Civil
War"
The proposed new legislation, it is
estimated by Gen. Black, would in
crease the pension roll by practically
| 400, 900 new names and swell the expen-
ditures to not less than S170.00O,O0O a
| year. 1t has been the experience of the
country that all preliminary pension
estimates are too low; that the actual
! payments are very much larger than
the estimated payments. Hence if it is
| the estimate that the pension burden
| will be increased to $170,000,000 it is
| pretty certain that the sum win reach
| $500, 900, 900 before a decline sets in.
! Pensions are the heaviest tax on the
| resources of the country. They cost
| nearly as much as the army and navy
! combined. The politicians are afraid
! to cut them down. Private pensions
! have scandalized the country, yet at
each session of Congress hundreds of
private pension bills are passed be-
| cause the members of Congress have
not the moral courage to vote against
them. Bounty jumpers and deserters
are pensioned, and camp followers and
1 those who saw no lighting are to be
pensioned Yet they say that repub-
lies are ungrateful

THE WRONG DIAGNOSIS
Prompt the Use of Worthless Renee
dies.

Even an experienced physician will
sometimes make a mistake in diagno-
sis. in which event his entire treatment
is wasted and may even be injurious to
the patent.
The advocates of all other hair res
toratives save Herpicide have wrongly
diagnosed the cause of Dandruff and
Falling Hair.
They figure on a functional disease
whereas it is now known and generally
accepted that hair loss is due to a
parasitic germ which Newbro's Her
picide destroys.

Rough on the WIDOW.

Telephone mistakes may have their
serious sides, says the New Yorker A
man who wanted to communicate with
another named Jones looked in the di-
rectory and then called up number.
Presently came through the receiver
a short feminine Hello" and he asked,
who is that?"
This is Mrs. Tones"
Have you any idea where your hus-
band is?'
He couldn't understand why she
rang off" so sharply until he looked
in the book again and discovered that
he had called up the residence of a
widow.

TILLMAN-HAYWOOD.

There is a remarkable parallel be-
tween the Tillman case in Lexington.
5. c., and the Haywood case in Raj
eigh, n. c. In each the man on trial
for his life is of a good and influential
family, with strong social and political
friendships In each the defendant is
charged with having shot down his
victim without giving him a chance
for his life. In each the prosecution
has made very strong chain of evil
dence, the breaking of which will re-
quire extraordinary efforts. And in
each case the progress of the trial has
been delayed by the illness of a Juror
with bilious fever. 1t would not be in
the least surprising if the parallel were
continued to the end and the verdicts
should be the same.
1t is worthy of note and comment.
for the especial benefit of Northern
critics who like to believe and assert
that in the South white men are not
brought to the bar of justice for their
misdeeds, that in both Lexington and
Raleigh a vigorous prosecution is be-
course, presumed to be innocent until
they are proved guilty. But in each
instance the states attorneys are
striving as hard to secure convictions
as if the accused were the most ordi-
nary of violators of the law. They
are being shown no favor because of
their color, wealth or social standing.
The fight is for the vindication of the
law and the unfolding of justice.
However the cases may end, it cannot
be said that there was a lack of dill
gence and perseverance on the part
of the officials of the law.
Both of these trials are likely to re-
main notable in the annals of the two
states. Such arrays of legal talent as
are engaged in the trials are not often
seen. While the states representa-
tives are doing what they can to up
hold the states contentious respecting
the guilt OF the accused, the attorneys
for the defense are making exception
ally strong efforts to establish the in
nocence of their clients. On account
of all of the circumstances, these two
cases are being watched with far
more than ordinary interest. Both
ought to be concluded this week. or i'll
the early part of next week.

honey, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Thinking they would be very nice, she
went inside and purchased one.
After the pot was opened, she was
very much annoyed at some hairs that
were in the honey.
The next morning she returned with
the jar, and asked the shopkeeper how
they had got there.

Extensions would probably have to
be built to the jails throughout the
country if the offense alleged by a
Chicago wife against her husband were
one at law. She plead, with tears in
her eyes, that her husband might be
arrested, declaring that he had act
ually come home and failed to kiss her.
She inferred that he did not love her
any more. The justice advised her to
go home and give her husband another
chance.

Many people with olfactory organs
attuned to q constituencies that abhors
artifciality in odors have a strong dis
taste for cologne, even when it is APP
piled externally. This antipathy did
not extend to three men of Philadel-
phia, who the other day decided they
would make some alcohol punch. Hav-
ing no whisky, one of them. who had
served in the navy and had there
heard of queer drinks, advised the use
of cologne as a substitute. A few hours
after acting upon this advice all three
were dead.

A simple cure for rheumatism is to
go without breakfast Miss Mellissie
Rose of Morristown, N. j., is an exam
pie of its effectiveness. Since last MAY
she has done without breakfast and
now, though she is 6S years old, she
declares that she feels like a young
woman and is entirely free from the
disease from which she suffered so
aeutely. Abstinence from breakfast
seems to be an admirable remedy for
more affections than rheumatism. In
the back to nature" methods it is fol-
lowed, and it is also recommended for
persons, who, troubled with a little
more avoirdupois than they care for,
seek to reduce their flesh.

The Senate should now carefully scrut-

should be preserved, but so must the
senatorial oath of office. To vote fol
