Deeds versus Dollars.

Some of the great newspapers and
men throughout the country are
criticising the National Red Cross So
ciety. Its plans and methods need to
be revised because it has not S4, 600, O0C
bank account like the japanese Red
Cross, or So, 900, 900 cash and SO, COO, 00C
real estate like the Russian Society.
The last report of our American Red
Cross showed that there was 1924 in
the treasury. Suppose our Society is
poor in money, why should it be censur-
ed for that? Its object is not the ae-
cumulation of wealth or property.
In the words of Miss Clara Barton.
the permanent president of the Red
Cross its purpose is to lend helping
hand everywhere quietly and humbly,
as brother TO a brother, in time OF
need. Can anyone cite single in
stance of failure ia its mission.
The work of the Good Samaritan is
not measured in dollars and cents.
THE quality of mercy is not strained.
1t droppeth as the gentle dew of heaven
upon the place beneath, nor does it
bear the dollar mark.
Let the record of our Red Cross in
Cuba, at Galveston, in and around San
| Pierre. Porto Rico, at ItNica, in our
own Butler, and at score of other
places where distress existed, speak for
| it, and not its bank account.
1t has no money. it does not wish nor
| try to gather money but it gets it when
ever needed, and there is no lack. Per
haps some men whose hearts, purses
and modesty are alike great supply it,
unknown to the general public. How.
ever it comes when needed Miss
Barton and her associates, like
the Disciples of old. have only to say
'The Master hath need of it," and the
resources of Nation are theirs And
they do not blare their doings needlessly
abroad.
/ All honor to Clara Barton, ths head
and organizer of this great Society OF
Mercy, and the grandest and humblest
woman in the world today. She is frai
delicate and aged. but her life has beer
that of an Angel of Mercy.
! May the Lord prolong her days with
( blessings, and when old Time shall
bring her to an end, may her mantie
fall on worthy shoulders. E. II. N.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The Treasury Department has served
notice on the banks that are repositories
for the government, that thirty millions
must be provided by the 25th to pay for
the Panama canal Congress has agreed
to pay the French company forty
millions, and the Panama govern
mept ten millions, which makes fifty
millions; Of which the banks are to
furnish thirty and the sub-Treasury in
New York twenty millions.
The President has been prompt IN
naming the commission under whose
auspices the canal will be constructed.
Rear Admiral Walker, retired, heads 1t
as chairman. Major General Davis,
also retired, is second on the list, and
the other members are William Barclay
Parsons and William II. Burr, of New
York: Benjamin NJ Harrod, of Louis
lana; Carl Ewald Crunsky, of California,
and Frank J. Hecker, Of Michigan. The
only civilian aot an engineer is Mr..
Hecker. Admiral Walker has notified
the members to assemble in Washington
at their earliest convenience and be pre-
pared to sail for Colon on March %.
It is the desire of the President that
no time shall be wasted. but that work
shall be begun and pushed with celebrity,
80 the great dream of many years is
about to be realized.
Both Houses Of Congress were debat-
ing societies, last week. The colored-
man-to dinner subject was gone over.
Representative Adams, of Philadelphia.
supported bis bill restricting immigra-
ton to so, 900 year, and MIR. Dalzell,
OF Pittsburg, in answer to the Demo
cratic floor leader, Mr.. Williams. ex-
planned the policy of reciprocity from
the Republican standpoint. He made
it clear that in treaties of reciprocity
American manufactures and products
must not be interfered with.
The Senate Committee investigating
the Smoot case had an interesting ex-
perience With President Smith of the
Mormon Church, last week. On the
witness stand Smith acknowledged that
he was living with five women as his
wives; and stoutly defended his church
and the practice Of polygamy as founded
on Divine revelations and commands
bis evidence will not likely do Senator
elect Smoot any good as Mr. Smoot il
one of the apostles of the church, and
must defend polygamy in the church,
whether he practices it or not. The OBJ
ject of the inquiry was to determine
whether or not the oath required by
that church is antoganistic to that re
auired by the Constitution and laws OF
the United States.
When Smith left the witness stand in
the Smoot hearing Monday afternoon
to give way to Mrs. Clara Kennedy
another dramatic scene in this import
ant case was enacted.
By Mrs. Kennedy the opposition to
the retention of Reed Smoot in the
United States senate sought to prove
thot the Mormon church. in spite Of the
Woodruff manifesto Of 1890. is still
countenancing and encouraging polyg-
amous marriages. Although she is not
now living as plural wife, the witness
stated without any hesitation whatever
that she was married to Mormon as a
polygamous wife five years after the
manifesto. Furthermore, she said that
the marriage ceremony was performed
by Brother Young" an apostle of the
church.

AT indianapolis, Thursday evening,
another day had passed without the
coal miners and the operators or own
ers, sitting in joint conference. coming
to an agreement, there were faint ru-
mors of compromise at an eight per
cent. reduction, but they were not be-
lieved, and a strike was considered in
evitable. On Friday the operators
made their final demands and conces-
sions, reducing their demands, and after
discussion things looked more peacea-
BILE, but the miners rejected the offer,
though urged to accept by President
Mitchell and the Union officials. and
the conference adjourned, next day,
without settlement The miners of the

delegates in the conference. All hope
of compromise has not yet been

the business offered them the balance
of the week, without much delay. tho
conditions in the east are still far from
being satisfactory. There were good
many cattle sent east Monday, and
though cars We're at a premium, about
all got away.
Hogs-Smaller receipts are sending
prices upwards very fast. There We're
about 10000 on sale today and the de-
mand was lively, at prices ruling strong
and averaging ten higher.
The largest days receipts last Feb
ruary was 1922. Judging by the very
large average number to the carload
Monday and the immense number of
pigs and light hogs carried over from
that day. the quality was undoubted-
ly the poorest of tho season. Yester-
days receipts were below all expecta-
lions. but with nearly 1900 carried
over from Monday over 10000 were on
sale, which supply was far In excess
of trade requirements, especially the
supply of underweights. Notwithstand
ing the liberal offerings the market
opened steady to 5 cents higher, and
the feeling later was quite strong on
most all grades, the strength being
caused by disappointingly small stocks
OF hog products on hand in Chicago the
first of the present month, which stocks
were made public Monday night. The
board of trade markets We're consider
ably higher around the opening, which
added life TO the hog market. Packers
Were good buyers while the supply Of
desirable hogs lasted, but the common
and lighter weights We're somewhat
neglected, yet all kinds showed COM
parative strength.
Sheep-There was better demand,
prices ruled tiriner to ten higher.
Lambs We're active and western sheep
in good demand.

CORN SHORTAGE IN IOWA.
Feeders Find It Difficult to Get Corn
Oats BEING Fed.

Chicago. Feb. S.-one of the largest
firms in Iowa writes: I'VE are still
ablA to place corn to feeders at much
above Chicago prices. 1t seems inn
possible TO buy any corn here in Iowa
now at anything under 40 cents, and
there is very little offered even at that
price. We have talked recently with
some of the line houses here. and they
tell us that they are not buying any
corn or oats. Farmers now have an
idea that they will get so cents for this
corn, and those that have, any to sell
are holding for considerably higher
prices. This shortage on corn is going
to cause a great many oats to be fed
that would otherwise have gone to the
market. It has now been nearly two
weeks since our ground has been COW
cred with snow and impossible for
cattle to get any feed in the fields"
