ANOTHER PROFESSOR GONE
WRONG.

Every little while some Professor
gives us a sorrowful exhibition of how
much bigger fool an educated man can
be than one on whom an education has
not been wasted. Prof. Charles Zueb-
lin attracts attention by the idiocy and
utter inaccuracy of his diatribes. In a
recent address in Boston before a large
audience he INDUCED in general scold
at everything around the whole horizon.
and when he came to pensions he said:
"The pension rolls, up to the time of
the Spanish War, were examined every
year. Now they are not examined at
all and millions of dollars are being
paid every year to support rascals in
idleness. Yet in the name OF the old
soldiers We are forbidden to criticise.
Every decent old soldier ought to be
ashamed of the abuses to which the
pension system has been subjected"
There is absolutely no basis for this,
and the Professor simply exhibits his
astounding ignorance of public affairs.
The pension roll has always been much
more studiously watched than any other
branch of Government expenditure. and
never has it been under more rigid in
spection than 1t is to-day. There is not
a man or woman upon the pension roll
who has not proved his or her right to
be there by evidence sufficiently strong
to have brought about conviction in
a murder case. Prof. Zuebiin's name
sounds strange and harsh to Americans
and the probability Is that he has not
been long enough in this country to get
even a casual knowledge of public af-
fairs

THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAdA-
TION.

The action of Senator Bailey, of Tex
as. in preventing the printing of the
Emancipation Proclamation as q public
document excites general and very IN
favorable comment upon the Senator
from Texas. There is no logical defense
for him. The Emancipation Prociama-
tion is one of the higher laws OF the
land. Its issuance was an act of su-
preme military necessity as well as OF
humanity and right. 1t Is something
that every man and woman who is in
serested in the history of our country
should be well acquainted with, since
it is part of the important archives OF
the Nation No matter how vindietive-
ly the Senator and those whom he rep
Tesents may feel as to emancipation. it
was something that the moral sense of
the world approved and whichNis to-
day recognized by everyone as eminent
ly right. Senator Bailey's act only pro-
claims his bourbonish blinking IN the
1ull light Of to-day, and It's effect will
be very much more discreditabie to him

DEATH OF HINTON ROWAN
HELPER,

A man who had an important part
in bringing on the war ended his life
by his own hand in an obscure lodging
evening.
Hinton Rowan Helper was born in
North Carolina of that old Scotch Irish
stock which settled in the mountains.
A few years before the war he wrote
a book called THE Impending Crisis 80
which contained the views of a nom
slavehoiding white in the South on
the evils of slavery and its dangers
to the country. The book attracted
immediate and widespread attention,
and greatly enraged the shareholders.
1t became the subject of many inflan-
matory debates in Congress, with the
Southerners bitterly denouncing it. and
the Northerners using 1t as a text
against slavery extension!
Finally, in 1860, the Republican
National Committee made It CAM
paign text book, and published many
hundred thousand copies.
President Lincoln appointed Mf-
Helper Consul-General to Buenos
Ayres. Later he became deeply inter-
ested in a project for a Pan-American
railroad to run down thru Mexico,
and traverse the valley between the
Andes to Patagonia. He spent many
years in endeavoring to interest the
newspapers and capitalists in this, and
finally, worn out by his failure, shot
himself.
He was a familiar and very striking
figure on the streets of Washington
for many years.

TUE PENSION AGENCIES TO
REMAIN,

After hard struggle the Pension
Appropriation Bill was passed as
amended by the Senate, which retained
the Pension Agencies as they are.
The House Conferees were quite OBJ
stinate in demanding consolidation,
but the Senators were even firmer in
insisting that no consolidation should
take place. This is result which will
be welcomed by the veterans all over
the country, for undoubtedly the aboli-
,tion Of the agencies would have worked
much hardship and Inconvenience to
them and been detriment to the pub
lie service. The work OF distributing
pensions all over the country can be
done much better and much cheaper.
no matter what the House says. from
the Is Agencies than 1t can be done
from the central Office in Washington.
The convenience to the pensioners Is
very great and should be a strong rea-
son for retaining the Agencies as they
are.

The Tasting cure" for disease is rap
Idly growing in popularity. and there Is
no doubt that it is doing a great deal
of good. We all of US eat entirely too
much, and, as DIR. Abernethy says, eve
dig our graves with our teeth. NO
doubt very large percentage Of the
troubles and sufferings which afflict
men and women could be cured in a
short time by little self-control in abb
stinence from food. This is an infinite
fy better way than dosing oneself with
medicines. OF course. fasting, like any
thing else, can be carried to excess, and
the body so weakened that il cannot
resist disease. The main thing is to
have common sense, and this would
suggest that at the first sign of trouble
the allowance of food should be cut
down and the stomach and the fntes-
tines be allowed time to get rid of
burden. It is in this way that Lent
has a physiological value. During the
cold months of Winter we have usually
eaten much more than We need of
heavy, strong foods. which have clogged
up the system and probably started
some disease. If Lent is strictly OBJ
served with a meager diet, there is
every chance that the body will re-
cover its tone ane be in excellent shape
for the advent of Spring. The rules Of
Lent are in general well suited to this
purpose. They eliminate the heavy,
salted meats upon which people have
largely lived during the Winter, and
prescribe much lighter foods.

EXTREME HEAT
AND WEAK HEART
Causes Assigned for Sudden
Death of Titled English
man at Yuma, Ariz.
FoRSoOK HIS NATIVE LAND
WENT TO DESERT TO ADD TO
COLLECTION OF BEETLES.

Yuma, Ariz., July "a second coro-
ner's inquest was held today over tht
remains of the man supposed to be Sir
Arthur Coweil-Stepney, baHOnet, OF
London, who died suddenly at the
Southern Pacific station here yester.
day
five witnesses were examined, whose
testimony entirely nullihed the decision
of the first inquest jury that death had
been caused by the use of alcoholic
stimulants. II was proved that he had
suffered greatly from the heat after
arriving here, and that this. coupled
with weak heart action had caused
his sudden end.
Examination of the papers found
among the dead mans luggage shows
him to have been born in Germany, OF
English parentage, about seventy years
ago.
He was naturaliZed American cit
tizen, his papers having been taken out
in Los Angeles in 1906. No letters from
relatives have been found among his
possessions, but a mass of correspond
ence, mainly upon scientific subjects
shows him TO have been an entomolo-
glst of note, brought to the desert al
this season by the desire to increase
an already extensive collection OF
beetles.
No replies have been received to ca
oles sent yesterday to the London So
lNitOrs, pending which tlR body is held
at a local undertaker's establishment.
