Root. responding to the greeting of
President Louis Stern, said in part:

We are on the threshold of a great struggle
and there are rumors about men. about
ganization and factional strife. They tell me
there is great trouble in the Republican party
In the State of New York-factional difficulties
and that we are liable to lose the State
take no stock in these factional differences
IL seems to me that 1t is time for us to
turn our attention from the surface question
of party organization to the great issues OF
the conflict that lies before us and get away
from the chicken feed Of political gossip
we stand on distinct foreign polcy-a posi-.
tlon that has put us on a plane so eminent that
In the conflict in the Far East over which
every one holds his breath for fear there may
be general war, Germany turns to the United
states and asks US to use our power to preserve
the empire of China.
Ihe question for US 10 hammer out during the
coming summer is whether the great onward
march of American civilization shall go on or
snail be checked and turned back in confusion
and inefhciency. Let this club sound the KEY
note of the coming campaign-the question
whether the Republican party shall continue to
rule or the ultra conservative Democrats with
Cleveland or Parker on the hand and the
ultra Socialists, with Bryan or Hearst on the

CRAVE CHARGES
Lieutenants Richards and
Nelson Return From Ma
Mia to Face COurt-Martial
MATTERS LOOK SERIOUS
Cause of the Trouble Is Al
legged Irregularities in Pay
Accounts in Philippines

First Lieutenant George g. Richards
Jr.. Twenty-thtrd Infantry. and First
Lieutenant Frederick B. Nelson,
Twelfth Cavalry. came home yesterday
from the Philippines and. II reports be
true, have come to face very serious
charges Il Is reported that they were
ordered back 10 the United States to
60 before a court-martial to answer al
ieged charges Of irregularities IN their
accounts. u IS alleged that Richards.
while II and about AIindanao, was
reckless about his money matters,
end that his pay accounts we're In a
very mixed I'D state What goes TO
make matters worse for him is the fact
that Il Is reported that he has had
trouble before OF a similar character,
but somehow managed TO make an ex-
iplanation that was deemed satisfactory
70 the Government and the matter was
dropped
The alleged charges against Nelson
by the Government are duplicating his
pay accounts. II Is reported that while
IN the Philippines he duplicated his ac-
counts no less than five times in one
month HIS brother officers are at a loss
70 understand his actions, for the
reason that he belongs to a wealthy
and distinguished family in Philadel-
phia, one Of his brothers being a high
Official IN the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company
FAMILY SETTLES CLAIMS.
The different claims upon his numer-
Gus pay accounts have been settled by
his family. which sent drafts to cover
the accounts as soon as they learned
OF his difficulties. He Goes not owe
Uncle Sam anything. but the passage
Of duplicate accounts is still staring
him in the face. and It is upon these
grounds that the Government takes
action. Tremendous influence is being
brought 10 bear by influential friends
IN the East with the powers at Wash
3ngton 10 have the matter sidetracked.
Nelson was married about a year
and a half ago 70 Miss Keller in San
Antonio. Texas. Miss Keller was
daughter Of an army officer. Mrs. Nell

Bull kept the story Of his approach
ing marriage a great secret from his
brother officers on board the trans
port and they all wondered why. he
was leaving his regiment and coming
homt on leave. especially as he was not
granted sick leave. When questioned
as TO why he was coming to America,

Forced Contribution.

Not long ago in New York some
philanthropic effort was started in a
church to raise funds, and it was de-
cided to have a special sermon and
collection. Mr.. H was appointed
one of the members to pass the plate.
Meeting a friend on Broadway, and
being very anxious for a large collec-
tion, he urged his attendance. The
friend was compelled to leave the
city that very day, but stated that he
had given his wife a flve-dollar bill
for the collection.
AS the plate was passed, the lady
put in SO. Mr.. H, instead Of pass
ing on. stopped and, in an undertone.

The late Levi y. Letter now and

early life as a clerk in dry goods

OF these incidents, as with a parable.
Mr Letter would often illustrate some
point he wished to make.
Be frugal and careful in your deal

one day, but never be grasping
Never try to overreach. Such courses
too often make a man ridiculous, and
give him besides a bad reputation that
lasts all his life.
"A reputation of this kind was ac-
quired in a moment in our Leitersburg
store by a woman, and she could
never shake It off.

and said to me. in the presence OF a

Biblical Injunction Reversed.

Most farmers, and especially boys,
take trouble to hunt down a snake
when they are really the farmers
friends Many person will leave a
carriage or team in the road to kill
a snake they see upon the roadside.
And as for the blacksnake that lives
under the house or old porch, it is a
greater enemy to mice and rats than
the best cat could possibly be, while
it would not harm an infant; in fact.
could be tanned to be very interesting.
Kindness always wins snakes, and
they will show it as perceptibly as
most creatures. A blacksnake pet is
more cleanly than a dog or cat, is far
less trouble, will respond to the famil-
lar call just as quickly, show every
evidence of affection as sincerely, and
if its fangs should scratch the skin
or even penetrate the flesh the result
is not so annoying as the scratches
from the briars that come from pick
ing roses or Easton

It is only the thirsty who dig a
