sole custodian. In 1896 Mr.. LORD, VINO
had always been a democrat, worked
with the fusion forces and ardently
supported c. W. Young, the popullst
candidate for state treasurer. AS a
reward Young placed all the state
funds in Lords bank, the Capital Ma
tional.
In the spring of 1900, Mr.. Lord, fore
seeing the downfall of fusion, turned
republican and at the republican state
convention his man Maynard of Lewis
county was named for state treasurer.
AS a result Lord has retained his alb
solute control Of state funds.
With the return of good times, which
istration, state deposits began to in
crease, until the middle of 1903, under
Treasurer Maynard, when they ran Np
to $1,500,600, every dollar of which
was controlled absolutely by Mr.. Lord.
The last quarterly report, issued by
the state treasurer on March 81, this
year, shows a balance of $1,0S0, 1854.
Every dollar of that money is on de-
post either with Mr.. Lord or with
banks designated by him.
Bankers of state wide repute, and
men familiar with financial affairs
f
$4,000 600 is worth at least $4,000
a year to Mr.. Lords bank.
BY manipulation of state funds.
moreover, Lord has increased the
steady pour of shekels from the states
Golfers into his own. When in 1901
the legislature voted to issue $500
worth of state capitol warrants, with
interest at per cent to be guaran-
teed out of the general fund, those
warrants We're purchased in a lump at
par by Mr.. Lord. For something over
a year thereafter only $4,000 of the
money paid for the warrants was used
by the state, and the balance was de-
posted in Mr.. Lords bank
Mr. Lord was therefore drawing 5
per cent on $350,O0O worth Of war
rants, which he had purchased with
the states own money on deposit with
him, and had the use of $4,000 in
cash. a simple transfer of figures
from one page of the ledger to another
Melted him thereby over $4,000 in one
year on one transaction in jugglery of
the state funds.
1t is a significant fact that Sol G..
Simpson, member of the state CAPT
tOl commission which sold the war
rants to Lord without advertising the
Mr.. Lords bank.
Mr.. Lords bank has a capital stock
of 100000, but it's surplus and undi-
divided profits are 100000. It's capt.
tai stock is, therefore. worth 5000 a
share. Mr. Lord is reported to have
said that at the end of the next cleo
ton period, If Mills is elected this
time, the present value of the capital
stock will have again doubled. The
bank now pays 10 per cent dividends
In 1900 Mr. Lord had to get the as
sistance of certain bankers with
pulls in other counties to assist him
in nominating Maynard. AS a result
he had to consent to a slight division
of the funds. This time, however, he
did not have to make deal with a
single other bank. The office of state
treasurer was presented to him in re-
turn for services rendered the rail-
road lobby. If Mills is elected Lord will
have every single dollar of the states
money for four years absolutely at his

all these qualities is the basis of sue
cess in all undertakings, whether large
or small. The success of the japanese
is easily accounted for also by the
fact that they love their emperor as
a people; they are willing to fight for
him and to die for him, added to which
to face death on the battlefield, pc
cause they firmly believe that the next
world is better than this, and there
fore to die in a good cause, especially
in fighting for the salvation OF their
country, secures a high and honorable
position there. Against these charac-
terstics, which back the japanese in
the present war, their antagonists,
the Russians, fear their emperor, and
under the autrcrotic rule of the nation
soldiers are very often put into the
army through force and kept there.
There is a vast difference. therefore,
on the battlefield in the fighting quail
tiles of soldiers who are backed by
love of their emperor and soldiers
who are backed by fear of their en-
peror. Then, again, the discipline Of
the Japanese soldiers is of more in
telligent and up-to date order than
that of the Russians. Each regiment
in Japan is composed of 400 men with
a captain in command, who carries
a sword. Their training provides that
if anything should happen to the cap
tain and his sword should fall to the
slant by the next in rank, and if any
thing should happen to him the next
in rotation takes his place, and so on
all the way through to the last man,
and each man to the end of the 400
is capable of picking up the sword
and commanding with it. which also
means to continue the fight until the
last man in each regiment is killed
or disabled; in other words, the fight
is never TO De given up except ny To-
tai extinction. AS an evidence of the
interest and earnestness of the Jap
anese people it is customary among
the trades people, whenever a fam
lily that they have been supplying
with the necessaries of life is depriv-
ed of the father of the family in con-
sequence of his going to the war, to
continue to supply all their needs the
same as before, and without sending
any bill therefor. 1t is pretty difficult,
therefore, for the Russians, nOtwith-
standing that they 50 largely out
the japanese, to whip such a
forceful people either on
land or sea.
There is scarcely an important col
lege anywhere in the world in which
Japanese students are not to be
found studying for all vocations, and
they are bent upon acquiring the best
and most up-to date methods in all
walks of life. Admiral Togo was edu-
Gated at Annapolis, and the American,
English and Continental colleges have
educated many of Japan's best army
and navy officers now engaged in the
war.

WHY THE JAPS SUCCEED.

The success of the Japanese in the
present war with Russia is due to their
great zeal. What they undertake to
di they generally do with great
earnestness of purpose, which calls

The Umbrella Tree.

The umbrella tree is found in Cey-
lon in greater profusion than anywhere
else in the world AS a matter of
scientific fact, thea.trees grow to their
greatest height and attain to their
greatest size in very wet, rainy coun.
tries THIS growth very frequently
is due to the fact that the tree re-
quires a great deal of moisture and
not because 1t is needed to keep of
the rain. The tree forms SO complete
an umbrella that number ofpersons
might take shelter under it's spread
Jig branches The foliage s,asa rule,
SO thick that it serves to keep off the
rain almost perfectly even in heavy
downpour.

ON A WAR FOOTING.
President Roosevelt's Strenuous
Peace Policy Suspicious.

The question: Is the United stAte'
being prepared for war; may well Do
asked. Joseph Pulitzer in his open let
ter to President Roosevelt, says;
1--WE are spending more money now
on our navy than any other country
in the world, except England; thira
more on our army than Austria-Hun-
garv with nearly 100000 men under
arms. and twice as much as Japan IN
time of peace, and more on army, navy
and pensions than is spent for the
same purposes by any OF the over
loaded military powers OF continental
Europe without exception. Our navy
Is costing us sss,OOO,oOO this year.
France hitherto the second naVai
mower in the world, is spending $OI'-
900 1000 on hers, and Germany unuer
YOUR illustrious counterpart, the Em-
peror, $1,000. 900. On its face our ac-
t,vity looks as If we were preparing Ior
certain war. -.
eve are building thirteen battle
ships to England's ten, Germany's sew
on and Frances six, and thirteen great
armored cruisers, practically battle
sbips. to England's sixteen. Frances
six and Germany's two. We are JUST
finishing half a dozen smaller cruisers
We have more frst-class battleshlps
already built than any other country
in the world except England, and the
English edito, of Brassey's Naval An
nual says that in ten years at the pres
emit rate we shall displace Great Brlt-
ain as the first naval power or the
globe. Yet you keep preceding us on
How much do you want? Fifty year,
ago our navy consisted Of few wood
en- frigates, and our peaceful merchant
fleets covered the seas. To-day we haV'
over 100000 tons Of steel battleshlps
and cruisers. and our merchant marine
in the foreign trade has shrunk until
it is hardly larger than the navy that
Is supposed to protect it."
az am not speaking to Democrats
this is not party matter. Your
schemes are personal, not partisan.
Your boasted Americanism is really
Europeanism. 1t Is the very antlthesls
of the true American spirit. You are
proposing to Europeanize our institu-
tons. Not content with the extraor-
binary increase in the powers and pat
ronage of the President Of the United
States, you propose to become prac-
tically the President Of the whole west
ern Hemisphere. The accidental head
of one republic, you would make your
self the head Of twenty-one. In the
name Of James Monroe, the strict con-
structionist Of the Constitution, and
under a hypocritical pretense Of duty
YOU assume prerogatives that would
turn Hamilton pale and that would
make Monroe rise in his grave de-
~ any Of your eulogists, from the Drill
liant and distinguished Whitelaw Reid
downward, to show one line in the
writings of any previous President OF
any party justifying your proposed
suzerainty over the Western Hemi-
sphere. But il you fail to find any
warrant for your policy in the Consti-
tuition Of the United States or the
practice Of your predecessors, you ray
find It abundantly In the quarter from
which you borrowed the policy ITSELF
In Europe" [Jos. Pulitzer in New
York World.l

Gray Hairs.

1t ia really pathetic to read the aP-
meals from a vast body of women for
something to "cure" gray hair-as
well attempt to retore color to fad
Ell rose. 1t is possible to retard the
coming of gray ness, and it is possible
70 conceal it after it has once arrived
by the application of harmless color
ing agents, but no power on earth can
bring back the original color to
single hair which has once whltened
Grayness which has been caused by
lack of attention to the hair or by i'll
ness may be conquered by having the
hair cut off and scalp treatment aP-
piled, when the new hair will prob
ably come in of the former color, or,
if the hair is not cut but the treat
ment given, by degrees the gray hair
will be replaced by the new growth.
DAndruff will not only cause the hair
to lose color but will make it fall out,
and it is only necessary for one to
brush the hair thoroughly before re-
firing at night and then to comb out
the sccumulatlons of dust and dan
draft from the brush to realize how
such foreign matter would be apt to
choke out healthy growth. Scrupu-
lous cleanliness demands that the
hair should be washed at least once
in two weeks and thoroughly brushed
night and morning, the hairbrush be-
ing washed with a solution of am
monia and water every week.

OF A MILITARY PEOPLE.

I'VE are not a military people, bent
on conquest, or engaged in extending
our domains in foreign lands, or de-
sirous OF securing natural advantages
however great, by force; but people
loving peace, not only for ourselves,
but for all the nations Of the earth.
"The display of great military arma-
nents may please the eye and, for the
moment, excite the pride OF the citizen
but it cannot bring the country the
brains, Drawn and muscle OF single
immigrant, nor induce the investment
here of dollar of capital. OF course
such armament as may be necessary
for the security Of the country and the
protection of the rights Of its citizens
at home or abroad, must be main
tanned. Any other course would DO
not only false economy, but pusillanl-
nous. protest, however, against the
feeling, now far too prevalent, that
by reason OF the commanding position
we have assumed IN the world, We
must take part in the disputes ana
broils OF foreign countries; and that
because we have grown great we
should intervene In any important
question that arises In other parts OF
the world. also protest against the
erection of any such military establish
mept as would be required to maintain
the country in that attitude. We
should confne our international activi-
ties solely to matters in which the
rights Of the country or OF our citi-
gems are directly involved. That Is
not a situation OF isolation, but OF In
dependence" From Judge Parkers
speech of acceptance.1

SECTIONAL BITTERNESS.

common country in bitterness against
each other" [Senator Bailey in Brook
