LIES OF STATESMEN
PRINCE BISMARCK WAS AN Ac
KNoWLEDGED MASTER.
His Mendacity Described as Bold,
Simple and Unstudied-False-
hoods of other Great Rulers
of Nations.

Prince Bismarck, once definitely
and irrevocably retired from power,
had no delicacy in describing himself
as an uncompfomising liar, says the
New York Sun. The quality of his
mendacity was not strained; it was
bold, simple and unstudied. Old
Emperor William was his apt and
proficient pupil. Between them, by
straightforward lying that would have
disguised Machiavelli they made his
tory. The lie of Ems was a prodigous
thing, unmade one empire, created a
greater and deluged a continent in
blood.
There was no common knowledge of
Prince Bismarck's achievements in the
art of lying at the time of his activ-
ity. They were we'll enough known
in high places but to make public such
a charge against so great a man was
to incur great personal inconvenience,
or expose ones self to ridicule. Sim
pie veracity is resorted to by very
great statesmen only when they are
reasonably sure that they run no
danger of being believed. Bismarck
was one of the great figures of the
nineteenth century. In all his career
he never told a trivial lie, while for
gratuitous lying he entertained an
1neffable contempt.
In the early part of the last cen
tury nobody thought of calling Ma
poleon BOnaparte liar. 1t seemed
too inadequate. None of his syco-
plants is on record as describing him
as gentleman. His precious nephew
gained his 20 years of precarious
ascendancy by an effective counterfeit
of all his uncle's worst qualities plus
his own undiluted depravity.
Disraeh, the most distinguished Jew
in modern history, was much the In.
tellectual superior of Bismarck The
imputation of lying was never success
fully urged against him, even by the
house of commons. On the other
hand implicit belief in anything that
he uttered was held to be the height
of temerity. 1t was maintained of
Palmerston that he never told a lie
outside Of the house of commons in
his whole life.
The statement of an obvious I'M
truth does not necessarily impair
mans character for veracity. Mr.
Gladstone had a wonderful reputation
for truthfulness, and maintained it
even to his death, in the estimation of
perhaps majority of Englishmen. 1t
is only just to his character to ac-
knowledge that with advancing years
he himself shared the same convic-
ton.
Respecting those persons who infest
the public prints with lamentations re-
specting the prevalent decay of the
art of lying, we hold their burden to
be mainly affectation. There is none
such. OF all the arts of the day it is
the most robust

A postofice has been established six
miles west Of Riverside near the head
of Johnson creek. 1t is named Hud-
son and Miss Grace M. Barrett is post
mistress. The office will supply 80

Some time last Tuesday night a
stable at the rear of the Douglass

just in time to save his life. He is
believed to be mentally unbalanced

rYPAoIp's COST is IMMENSE.
Com non Sickness Measured Against
Dollars and Cents.

1t is worth while, says H. e. Jordan.
In Municipal Engineering magazine, to
consider the cost of typhoid fever in
order to get the Importance of it's pre-
vention well fixed in mind. 1t is a
recognized fact that the greater ma.
jority of those persons who die from
this cause are between the ages of 20
and 80. Basing ones estimate upon
the value of human life as given in in
surance estimates, the average value
in life capital that is thus destroyed
is about $4,000 In the summer of
1907 there were studied in the Seventh
and Ninth wards of Pittsburg 1914
cases, with especial reference to the
actual cost in money expended. These
cases occurred in lac families; from
them there were II deaths; 81 wage
earners lost S64 weeks work; care
takers mot professional nurses, but
members of the family lost 1872
weeks work; there were 10 of the
cases treated in hospitals; total cost.
in these three factories alone, $24, 800.
This being proportional among the
1914 cases, amounts to 1925 per case, or
$4,000 per death. 1t is without ques-
ton that the cost more nearly approx
mates $4,000 per typhoid death on
account of the inability of the
patient to resume work at his
normal rate. This makes a total
cost per death of $500. There
is, then, with the sole question of the
money cost in mind a deep problem
for solution before this one cause of
destruction of human life is elm
mated.

FOR TIE NATIONAL ANTHEM"
Reasons Why the Popular Choice Is
for Hail Columbia"

Thou gh Americans are not all agreed
as to what really is or ought to be
our national anthem" it is reason
ably sure that the popular choice
would not fall upon Hail Columbia"
Yet that was the song selected by the
japanese to welcome the American
fleet, and the Japanese are generally
discriminating people. And in
truth they only followed the European
custom in this, for Hail Columbia"
is usually the tune played upon Off
clal occasions abroad when it is de-
sired to compliment the United States.
IL could hardly be otherwise, be-
cause of all our so-called national
music, Hail Columbia" is the only
tune-eXcepting Dixie" and the songs
of the civil war-of American origin.
The tune we call America" is only
God Save the King" and that be-
longs to Great Britain. "The Star
Spangled Banner" is also an English
tune, though we have made it our own
and it may well be that foreigners do
not understand the uplift we feel on
hearing it. Even Yankee Doodle" is
OF doubtful lineage, as well as of cues
tionable dignity. The Presidents
March, on the other hand, is wholly
a Philadelphia product, composed
there and given its popularity by
Philadelphia lawyers stirring words,
sung by Philadelphia actor. "A
poor thing but mine own" Tawdry as
1t is, our title to it is clear-even clear
|. er than that of the Red, White and
Blue'-and this is probably one rea-
son why 1t is everywhere recognized
as distinctively American.
The Red White and Blue" is in
some respects better tune, but "The
Star-Spangled Banner" is by so much
the best of the group that it has grad.
ually gained acceptance to the exclu.
sion of the others. 1t is hard to sing,
but glorious for the band, and moth.
ing is likely to drive it out. Certain.
ly national anthems" never can be
made TO order If prizes would produce
one, we should have plenty to choose
from. But national music is a growth.
not manufacture, and having no
body of folk song" to draw upon, we
have to depend upon the popular &C.
ceptance of some tune that may have
had only an accidental association
with any patriotic aspiration.

HONOLULU. Sept 25.-L. M Hale,
j. M. Reynolds and Ernest Moses, a
photographer, descended today into the
pit of the crater of Mount Kilauea,
remaining q half hour on the edge of
boiling lake of lava and fire.
1t was the first time the feat was
accomplished. The members of the
party ventured almost to the rim of
the seething lake and attempted to
take photographs.
The heat was intense and at times
the adventurers walked over partially
molten areas.
After completing their observations
they returned safely to the rim of the
crater where half dozen friends had
witnessed the descent.
Kilauea is one of the largest active
volcanoes in the world, on the east
slope of Mauna Loa, Hataii island.
It's altitude is 440O feet and the cir
conference of it's crater is about nine
miles, with a depth varying from ZOO
to HOO feet, depending upon the level
of the molten lava.
Violent eruptions occurred in 1897,

there have been several outbreaks of

DISTURBANCE IN EAST
FELT INTERMITTENTLY-
FROM EARLY MORNING

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-For nearly
three hours today the telegraph, tele-
phone and cable service of the eastern
portion of the United States was in
terrupted by a severe electrical storm,
which generally accompanies display
of the Aurora Borealis.
The disturbance was first manifested
east of New York at $3.50 a. M, tenn
porarily preventing the operation of
most of the cables and telegraph wires.
The magnetic influence moved rap
idly westward and disappeared, so that
by 9:40 a. m. communication was again
established.
During the height of the electrical
disturbance the measuring instruments
in the telegraph offices in this city
registered the presence on the wires of
upward of 500 volts of electricity from
ar unknown disturbance.
The disturbance continued intermit-
tently throughout the day The prin-
cipal trouble was with the cable lines

N HICAGO, Sept. 25.-Violent electri-
cal earth currents, believed to en-
~ anate from the aurora borealis to-
day disturbed the telegraph service over
the entire country, and for a time
stilled the ticking of the instruments
in the offices of the great telegraph
companies.
While the drift of the currents no.
ticeable in cities from San Francisco,
Seattle, Omaha, through Chicago.
apparently was to the east, its strength
was little more pronounced in one sec
tion of the country than another.
The currents first were felt about 5
o'clock in the morning and increased
in intensity for two hours, reaching
the heaviest wave at 7:10 a. M, when
all the telegraph activities were at d
standstill.
The force of the disturbance was so
great that fuses were blown out and
resistance lamps lighted up brilliantly
Shortly after o'clock the currents
began to subside and intermittent SER
vice was resumed. The conditions at
8 o'clock were fast becoming normal.
Prof David Cuthbertson, in charge
of the local weather bureau, declared
the phenomenon was due to the au-
rora borealis which, he said, always
accompanied a high pressure In at
mospheric conditions.
No reports have been received by the
local weather bureau from north of
Nebraska. The center of the mag
netic storm, the weather bureau de-
clares, is in Manitoba.

DECLARES GASOLINE NOT
SAFE OLIVE DENATURANT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Gasoline
or naphtha would not be a safe de-
naturant for olive oil on account of the
ease with which it could be removed
by simply distilling off the gasoline,
which has very low boiling point.
The secretary of agriculture in so
advising the treasury department adds
that to more specifically designate
spindle oil it would be sufficient to
specify that a petroleum oil of 1895 to
.9O6 specific gravity be furnished.
Collectors of customs have been no.
titled to be governed by this advice.
