THE MURDOCH MEDAL.

Victor Murdoch, congressman-ap-
parent from the Seventh Kansas dis
.trict and ngressman-presumpt
from the Eighth, probably thinks by
this time that the Carnegie medal joke
has gone too far. Some serious-minded
Californians have set out to keep Mr.
Murdoch from getting a hero medal!
1t will be remembered that the story
came east from Ocean Park a few
weeks ago that the popular young
Kansas congressman had saved two
women from drowning in the Pacific
Kansans laughed long and loud about
it, because Mr.. Murdoch was supposed
to be limping around California with a
bad case of rheumatism, which Mr..
Murdoch was using as an excuse for
not making any high school COM
mencement addresses. and the idea of
his being caught rescuing somebody
from drowning was too much for Kan
sas' gravity.
AS joke, Sam Woodland, one of Mr..
Murdock's old-time friends, sent a
newspaper clipping to the Carnegie
hero commission. with the suggestion
that the red-headed congressman was
| entitled to a hero medal. The COM
mission at once took the suggestion
| seriously, and that's what brought on
the trouble.
Mr.. Murdoch went to Hawaii soon
after the alleged heroic episode, but as
soon as he got home he denied having
done anything heroic. Now one of the
rescued women makes a similar denial.
and her husband wakes very indignant
over the matter. Listen to him talk,
in the Los Angeles Examiner:

afiidavits regarding the true facts OF

part of Mr.. Murdoch and his friends

FRATERNAL SOCIETIES.

In the broadcast. sense the fraternaI
societies of the United States have en-
Joyed gains far exceeding the rate of
increase in the population of the coun-
try. This phase of American life means
much for the unity and harmony of the
nation The great fraternal societies
know neither sectional nor racial lines.
They bring together many elements of
the population, often widely separated
in other interests and associations, in
a spirit of cooperation and mutual
helpfulness. 1t is good training for a
self-governing people of heterogeneous
national ties occupying a country the
extent of which is in some measure con-
ducive to sectional differences and local
differ ences.-Cleveland Leader.

ADVERTISING.

Many of the largest advertisers in the

thai out of door advertising is waste

from the placing of signs on hillsides

The concerns that do that sort of work
are curtailing expenses knowing well
that the beginning of the end of their
business is at hand. In addition to this,
there is a decided movement all over
the country to do away with the bill

being its hideousness and the marring
effect on the scenery in the rural dis
tricts and it's damage to contiguous pro-

Long and Narrow Farm.

A strip of land three inches wide
at the narrow end and ten inches wide
at the broad end, and 351 feet long. is
not much of farm, but it has given
the board of estimate a lot of trouble.
1t happened to belong to August Bel
mont and it was wanted by the city in
order to widen Canal street, in the
Bronx. It is understood that the city
will allow Mr.. Belmont $4,000 for the
strip, but Mr.. Belmont would rather
have the land.
The city was led into condemning
the parcel by the application of Grin
]. Stevens, who owns a good sized lot
alongside the strip. Mr.. Stevens want
ed a front in Canal street, and he
asked the city to do away with Mr..
Belmont's silver of. real estate and
widen the street by just its size. Nell
son P. Lewis, chief engineer OF the
board of estimate, said that if Mr.
Stevens wanted the strip he ought to
buy the lot and pay for it himself, but
the board, after talking it over, de-
cided the matter in favor of Mr..
Stevens.-New York Tribune.
