The man that brags on his far
away blood kin in a crowd would
feel like thirty cents il he could read
on paper how little they believed
and appreciated it, truly says an ex-
change. No mar tells Of his worth
less and indOlent kin; then what
good is it going 10 do him to tell
about some old aunt that is worth a
half million? Where is the good
that is in ii, when he knows that he
will not get enough Of the estate to
give him a decent burial in a coun-
Try graveyard. We have heard men
Dragging on their millionaire kinry
in California, Georgia, and other
places, and if such was the truth,
that kinry, if it should walk up into
the crowd he was talking to, would
not be recognized. Oh, no, but such
is life. Oh no, it don't help much.
1t don't swell your bank account; it
don't work your fields Of corn and
cotton; don't dig potatoes nor make
sorghum, don't put meat in the
sm0kehouse nor wood in the back
yard don't solve mathematical
problems nor give a description Of
the carth's surface. 1t is silent on
Greek and Latin and correct gram
mar. 1t don't tell you about the
bear, the lion, the elephant with his
snout; says nothing about Jupiter,
Venus or the North Pole Oh no, it
does none Of these things; but it,
candidIy and emphatically tells you
that you are a l4-karat donkey, try
ing to get to some mans barn to sat
isfy a hungry appetite; hal is it.

CALLS FOR IS CENTS.

President Harvie Jordon, of the
Southern Cotton Association, in an
interview, says:
THE open declaration of Secretary
Wilson, Of the department of agri,
culture, that the recent condition re-
port of 6S.S is accurate and trust
worthy and which shows that the
years crop will be in the neighbor-
hood of only ten million bales,
should knock out all high estimates
and put everybody down on the
working basis Of a short crop,
Secretary Wilson's estimate con
firms the report made by this asso-
citation some time ago predicting a
a crop Of about ten million bales.
At this report is confirmed by acu-
rate information from the two most
reliable sources, it is unquestionable
that the remainder of the crop now
in the hands Of the planters should
not be marketed for less than Is
cents a pound. | shall at once issue

UPHOLD THE LAW.

10 a recent sermon delivered in
Nashville, Tenn, by Bishop Charles
B. Galloway Of this state, he used
the following language, which DO
doubt meets with the endorsement
OF each honest man:
81 say hal more than anything
else we need in this nation is an alb
solute obedience to the laws of the
land. There is a great need for the
enforcement inyiolate Of every line
OF every statute upon out law books.
There can be no excuse or paliation
for the failure 70 enforce what is de
clared 10 be the law. When the
people OF any community, upon what
ever proyOcation, undertake by their
own hands and without the authori-
ty OF the laws to enforce vengeance
or administer justice they shoot a
poisoned dart into the very life and
fibre Of our institutions and imperiI
the very foundation Of this republic,
There is no crime - however
shocking to the moral sensibilities
of the community, however heinouS
or awful its execution-that will JUS
tify mob violence. | do not believe
that a Kansas saloon should be de-
stroyed with a Ratchet. There is
and can be no paliation for the VIC
lence Of the mob. 1t is the worst
kind Of anarchy that can be contem-
and means the utter disre-
Of every principle of govern
ment and a violation Of the most
sacred obligations Of citizenship"

The employment Office opened bust
ness this morning in it's new quarters
in the basement Of the city hall, next
door to the offices of the board of
health.
A great crowd of men seeking work
made their appearance early and
thronged the Office and the lower cor
ridor. Some of them wore an anxious
look which became intensified because
Of an incident quite amusing.
A carboy containing several gallons
of formaldyhyde was accidentally
broken in the health office and the
fumes of the disinfectant soon filled
the employment office and the base
ment corridor.
The principal effect of the fumes
is to bring tears to the persons in
voluntarily disinfected. The result
was that Commissioner Aren't had a
weeping crowd clamoring for employ
ment.

WELCOME DEATH
ENDS SUFFERING

At St. Luke's Hospital at s o'clock
this morning death ended the suffer-
ing and anguish of Mrs. William Rob
bins, who was recently found in des-
titution in a shack at Boone avenue
and Colville street.
Mrs. Robbins recently gave birth to
a child which lived but a few min
utes. Pneumonia developed after the
birth Of the child and the unfortu-
nate woman did not have strength to
withstand the attack. 1t is doubtful
whether she could have recovered
with the best of care and nursing,
but with no attention except that
given by an invalid husband, with the
mental anguish occasioned by the
death of the babe, the extreme desti-
tuition Of the family, and the solicit
tude for two children suffering with
the same disease, the woman had no
chance.
1t was stated at the hospital that
Mrs. Robbins was in a dying condi-
ton when taken there. The two sick
children are also at the hospital, but
will recover.

NATIONAL BOARD OF
TRADE IS IN SESSION

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 1.-THE
National Board of Trade began its
thirty fifth annual meeting here to-
day. About fifty commercial bodies
were represented by more than 200
delegates. The program of the meet
ing, which will occupy three days,
contemplates the discussion of a wide
range of subjects. The subjects of
international arbitration will receive
a large share of attention. TheScran-
ton board of trade has presented the
following for adoption;
Resolved, BY the National Board of
Trade. that. regardless of the quse-
ton at issue between the billiger-
ents, Russia and Japan. we denounce
the present war as unjustitiable. be-
cause neither party has made an in
telligent effort to adjust the differ
ences under the solem arbitration
contract to which they are both par
ties; that this being true, the present
horrible sacrafice of life and property
and its consequent disturbance of the
international relations of the world
is wholly without justification and
ought to cease.
Resolved, That the President of
the United States is hereby requested
to join with England and other pow
ers in determined effort to compel
the two belligerents to listen to wise
counsels and submit their differences
to The Hague Tribunal, or some other
similar arbitrament and discontinue
the present bloodshed, which proms-
es nothing but certain destruction
to one or both, and incalculable suf-
fering and loss of life and property
as well as continued commercial dis
turbances, which Is seriously affect
ing our own and other nations"
Other resolutions will receive at
tention at the meeting helate to mer-
chant marine, the interstate CONNER
cial law, reciprocity. uniform bills
of lading, reduction of the tax on
alcohol and Improvement OF various
water ways.

ures of the program.

ment of parcels post tho adoption
of One-cent postage for invoices, etc,

ton be made in the existing tariff

from such reductions such articles
produced In the United States as

a reduction.
The Philadelphia Traders League
urges that private car lines be con-
sldered common carriers and subject
to the interstate commerce acts to
the same extent as railroads engaged
in interstate commerce.
The Wilmington board of trade
calls attention to the fact that the
natural outlet of large portion of
the United States Is in the Delaware
River and it's tributaries, and urges
congress to enact such legislation
as will result in securing a 35 foot
channel at mean lower water mark
from the upper limits OF the port of
Philadelphia to the sea.

one or more of the constituent bodies
for discussion relate to national i'm
