STRAIT

What has war taught about STRAIT
egg? Nothing. The principles OF
strategy are few, simple, and appar-
emily immutable. They are the same
now as they were in Caesars time,
and have never been better epito-
mixed than by Gen. Forest, who said
that the art of war consisted IN get
tin thar fustest with the mostest
men," The Japanese have managed
to do this SO far. It is supposed the
total number of Japanese soldiers in
the field about equals the total num-
Der of Russian soldiers. But the Japs
had considerably more troops in bat
tie at the mouth of the Yalu. Nanshan
hill and Vafangow than the Russians.
The Japanese generals. up to the
present time, have showed themselves
to be the superior strategists.-Chi-

THE RIGHT OF VACATION.

Summer vacation has become a
custom honored by all just, shrewd
employers not in the breach of it, but
in its observance. There be those
who would. no doubt, if they thought
they could thereby. add another hon
est penny to their many millions,
stifie the laughter of, children, sup
press the sports of youth, and forbid
the rational amusements OF manhood,
but sordid greed does not rule the
world, even the little world of bust
ness. Men of better disposition,
wiser men than Mr.. Sage, dominate
its affairs, great and small, and they
have fixed the summer vacation as
an immutable right regardless of what
any modern Croecus or Plutus may
think about it, The vacation holiday
has come to stay, an American insti-
tuition of most honorable and honored
repute.- Philadelphia Ledger.

SCENE IN WHEAT BELT.

One square mile of wheat Ever
see it? Transcontinenta1 trains used
to stop in the Smoky Hill valley OF
Kansas to allow passengers view OF
such a wonder. 1t realized all the
travellers dreams of agricultural
splendor. Hundreds such visions
now mark the great grain area of the
plains, but their beauty is none the
less. Six hundred and forty acres of
wealth; $4,000 profit-perhaps more!
1t shimmered beneath the perfect
opalescent blue of the sky, the tall
straws bending with their weight OF
grain. Standing on the seat of the
reaper one might see in the distance
a glimmer of green pastures and
catch glimpses of rustling fields of
corn, but here was the heart of sum-
mer-Scribner's.

WORK FOR coNvIcTs.

ST may never be governor again"
said David R. Francis in an address
to the recent good roads convention in
st. Louis, but If I were to be I would
surely put the convicts on the high
ways" 1t might cost the taxpayers
a little more to work the states pris-
oners on the roads than it does to
keep them locked up, but the ultimate
results would probably be more profit
able to the state than would be the
results from any other use they could
be put to. The outdoor work would
be good for the convicts' health and
would. therefore, according to the best
authorities, exert a stronger influence
upon them than indoor work does, and
the products of their labor would not
then come into competition with the
products of free labor.-Kansas City

WELL WORTH SEEING

One of the most interesting exhibits
among the many of all kinds at the Louisi-
ana Purchase Exposition in ST., Louis is
that of the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company, of New Haven, Conn, manu-
facturers of repeating rifles and shotguns
was in readiness and was opened ON the
first day of the fair, a fact that clearly
illustrates the enterprise and up-to-date
methods of the company behind it. 1t is
the aim of the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company to show at their exhibit the high
developments which they have reached in
the making of guns and ammunition, and
one needs only to see the exhibit to realize
how near to perfection that development
has come. There can be seen the new auto
matte repeating rife, all kinds of shotguns,
the modern smokeless powder shotgun
shells and rife cartridges; in fact every
thing that can interest the devotees of
hunting and trap and target shooting.

REWARD OF VICIOUS POLITICS

However much the glitter of un-
worthy prominence may deceive the
shallow and discourage the moral.
there is one high prize its fingers are
never permitted to pollute with its
touch. It cannot command, even In
its own day, the only applause which
is worth the seeking. II a public man
has no 1oftier thought than pride OF
power, or sordid lust of wealth, and
serves his country not for herself but
himself, he may not hope to pass by
the flaming sword. No real public
grief will grace his marble with its
tear. Those who proclaim in acts the
gospel of NAV cannot escape the 70
pute Of being wolves. This law, IN
old as human nature itself, is not re
peated. In view of 1t, when a politt
cal hiGswayman passes away, even
though he clutched his booty to the
end, we may well ask in what respect
did al his gettings profit him--New

A Garoen SUGGESTION,

A good way to plant pole beans Is
with sweet corn, says Country Life
in America. Plant the beans in the
same hill with the corn (after the
corn is up); and the beans Chamber
all over the cornstalks after the ears
are harvested. 1t saves the bother
and expense of poles, and We think
cornstalks look better than bean
poles.

SIGNS 4 DEED
UNDER THREAT
H. II. Lowenthal's Wife Says
He Compelled Her to Con-
vey Valuable Property

With heavy knotted cane held over
her head by a husband who she
feared would kill her, Mrs. Jennie Low
enthal, wife of H. H. Lowenthal, the
attorney, was compelled, she says, to
deed all of her property to him. A
month later the Superior Court de-
clared Lowenthal incompetent and J.
Bernhard was appointed his guardian.
Yesterday Mrs. Lowenthal began suit
to have the deed set aside She says
that she signed the document under
duress and menace, against her will
and without consideration.
Her husband, according to the COM
plaint, was mentally incompetent and
acting under insane delusions. He
presented blank form of deed for her
head, thre atened to kill her if she did
not do his will. She declares that he
was in the habit of carrying a loaded
revolver, and she feared that he then
had the weapon in his pocket and
would use it. Although signing the
deed she says she did not appear be-
fore the notary, and the purported
acknowledgement is not correct.
Mrs. Lowenthal alleges that the
property was conveyed to her by her
husband when he was IN full health
and in control of his mental faculties.
The lots are located at Ridley street
and Elgin Park, on Baker street near
Grove, on Clay street near Devisa dero
and on washington street near Baker

enthaIs guardian it was shown that

STOREK TELLS
OF BUNKO MEN
Missing Secretary of Leath-
er Workers Union Turns
Up, but the Cash Is Gone
SITS IN A LITTLE GAME
Takes a Hand With Strang-
ers and Loses Money Be-
longing to Organization

w. c. Storek the secretary of the
Leather Workers Union, who was re-
ported to the police as missing, has
turned up safe and sound. He did
not run away with the funds of the
union, as some supposed, nor was he
kidnapped by emissaries of the Citi-
zens' Alliance, as others limited. He
simply had a severe tumble from his
perch on the water wagon, imbibed
too freely with strangers, engaged in
a poker game and lost not only his
own money but some of the funds of
the union as well. He appeared at
the headquarters of the union yester-
day a sadder but wiser man.
According to his story, Storek left
the headquarters of the union at 927
Mission street about midnight Thurs
day and went to the corner of Fifth
and Market streets to catch car. He
had in his possession the books of the
union and 1926 belonging to the or
ganization, which he had expected to
use in paying strike benefits. While
standing on the corner he was ap-
preached by a glib stranger and after
the two had had several drinks to-
and a quiet game of cards proposed.
The men seemed to be such good
fellows that Storek was thrown COM
pletely off his guard and readily con-
sented to take chances of winning or
losing a few dollars. The trio went to
a gambling house on O'Farrell street
and played poker Storek lost all his
own money and then began to draw
from the funds of the union. The
game seemed so one-sided that his
suspicious were aroused and he quit
the party, only to sit down at another
table with other strangers. When he
finally quit the game he was out about
$235. He promises to refund to the
union all the money he lost.
After quitting the game Storek did
not at once go home, but took room
in a downtown hotel. His mother,
alarmed at his unusual absence, noti-
fed the police and the Coroner.
Storek gave an excellent description
Of his companions to the police and
yesterday afternoon Harry Walters,
weIl-known bunko man, was arrested
by Detectives Ryan and Taylor and his
name placed on the detinue book at
