A Nations Wealth
JASPER d. SINCLAIR,

A nations wealth consists not Of It's
rich cities, its fine buildings. its large
forests, it's mines, its exports, its army
its navy nor even of its finances. The
real wealth OF nation consists of the
people who compose it and of those
who aid in that nations support. The
citizens of a country are the nations s
most valuable assets.
The character of a nation and of its
government depends entirely upon the
people OF the country. General Grant
once said, THE stability of this gov
ernment and the unity of this nation
depend solely on the cordial support and
the earnest loyalty of the people," The
hold the government. who do their duty
to their country and themselves are
the sovereigns of the nation.
If the citizens are corrupt the gov
ernment will be corrupt. The corrupt
ibility of the nation depends entirely
on the people. The morals of the citi-
zens determine the decency of the gov
ernment. Men who seek office for what
they can get out of 1t are not good
citizens. Political BOSSES" immoral
politicians susceptible to temptation
and citizens who take no interest in
the government do not constitute the
wealth of a nation Instead they aid
in country's derogation.
Since the days of early Greece graft
ing has been the scourge of all gov
ernments. Today it Is even more evil
dent than it was thousand years ago.

The Passing of Faithful
Scotch"

O(OtCiI
The thousands who will visit Estes
park in the Colorado Rockies next
summer will not see Faithful Scotch"
For this famous collie of a ia
nous master has gone where the good
dogs CO.
Scotch's master-or rather the friend
and companion whom he worshiped-
Is Enos A. Mills, known in this coun-
try and abroad as the guide to Longs
peak. nature student and enthusiast.
government lecturer on forest preser-
walton and author OF wild Life on the
Rockies"-of which one of the chapters
not least interesting is devoted to the
doings of Faithful Scotch"
Mountain climbers come from all
over the world to ascend Longs peak.
picturesque mountain of over $4,000
feet. just this side of the Continental
divide. Mr.. Mills has been the guide
OF this mountain for more than 20
years and out of the situation have
grown the little rustic hotel and log
cabins Of Longs Peak inn, where go
the climbers to begin the ascent.
or this little rustic inn Scotch was
no less the host than his master. He
welcomed the coming and sped the
parting guest. He escorted the climb
ers to the trail up the peak. He re-
ceived the returning, fishermen. He
kept the burros on the other side of
the brook. He stood between the
coyotes and the inhabitants of the
chicken yard. He played football with
the guests after dinner.
No matter how dogmatically the "in-
stinct" school of scientists may assert
that animals do not reason, Scotch had
a mind OF his own and used it--as
any one could see who had two eyes.
A catalogue of his exploits would fill
a book.
For example, when Scotch was but
years old pack of coyotes made his
life miserable. He went IS miles and
brought back another collie. That
afternoon the two dogs played as neat
a game on the coyotes as ever was seen
and taught them their lesson for all
time. That night the visiting collie
returned home.
Again. a strapping young woman.
accustomed to mountain climbing, in
sisted upon ascending Longs peak
alone Guide Mills assented, but sent
Scotch with her. The young woman
got to the summit safely, fingered too
long and got caught in the darkness
and storm.
When she went wrong on the down
ward trail, Scotch, who knew every
inch OF the peak, did his best to get
her back. But the woman was obsti-
nate. Scotch stayed with her on the
mountain, kept her warm and saved
her life. She was rescued at daylight,
slightly frostbitten, but otherwise all
right. When the reScuerS arrived
Scotch gave a yawp of disgust and
dashed off home for some breakfast
once Scotch misunderstood his orders
and unfllnchingly faced death in carry
ing them out-as he understood them.

First White Women in China

The explanation did not make the
slightest difference; in fact, the ruling
classes insisted more strongly than
before that the ladies should be de-
ported. At last, the authorities pro
nounced sentence, SO to speak. They
sent word to all the native merchants
that unless the two American women
were at once placed on board ship and
kept there, and from off Chinese soil,
until the vessel sailed, an edict would
be issued which would permanently
prohibit any further commercial rela-
tons of any sort with the firm OF A.
A. Low & Co.
The merchants knew that the rul-
ing classes meant what they said;
the officers of the vessel likewise
knew that the authorities were in
dead earnest, and with neither officers
nor merchants. anxious to have the
threatened edict issued. the ladies
were at once escorted back to their
quarters aboard ship and kept there
until after the vessel had cleared the
harbor and all danger was past OF
disturbing large commercial relations
that were profitable alike to China
and America.
That, gentlemen, was the China OF
1910 and thereaboutS."

LIGHT on a Famous Forgery

friends, and we sat up quite late the
evening before the convention met,
chatting with politicians. and l think
it was about 2 o'clock in the morning
when we went to bed. The situation
was then all in the air. Nobody could
tell how the convention would be or
ganiZed.
AT ten o'clock the next morning,
there came a series of very loud
knocks upon Mr.. French's door. They
awakened me, for the door between
our rooms was wide open; and as l
looked at my watch to find out the
time I heard Mr.. French growing
sleepily because he had been dis
turbed But the hall boy shouted
over the transom: It's a telegram
for you, Mr.. French So he arose,
opened the door and took the tele-
gram.
Il heard him tear open the envelope,
and, an instant later, heard him utter
a very excited exclamation of sur
prise, which sounded suspiciously like:
Well, I'll be damned!' Then he came
hurrying into my room. Here, How

Story Shows Stephen French Was
Innocent in Bogus Proxy incident
Which Had Much to Do With
CIeveIand's Elevation.

1t was in 1882 that the name of
Grover Cleveland first became a
household one throughout the country.
In that year he was elected governor
of New York over Charles J. Folger
by plurality of nearly two hundred
thousand. Two years later he was
president-elect, his second phenome-
nal elective victory resulting directly
from his first, which was due in no
small measure to the famous forged
telegram of 1882.
That telegram cropped up when the
Republican state convention was
gathering to select its gubernatorial
candidate. A desperate struggle was
. under way to secure control OF the
convention through its organization
by the state committee. The friends
of President Arthur were backing his
secretary of the treasury, Mr.. Fol
ger, for the nomination. At the height
of the battle Stephen V. French, a
personal friend of the president, ap-
peared before the state committee
holding a telegraphic proxy which en-
titled him to serve in place OF Will
liam H. Robertson, collector OF the
port of New York. This proxy de-
termined the control of the conven-
ton and assured the nomination OF
= FOrger
But Folger had not been nominated
many hours before Collector Robert
SON was out with a statement de-
nouncing as a forgery the proxy pre-
scented by Mr.. French Instantly the
telegram became a powerful issue in
the campaign, helping materially to
defeat Folger And as for French
though he denied forging it, he be-
came known far and wide derisively
as Proxy" French he became an out
cast, almost, and at last died practical

Now. nearly twenty-eight years aft
er the forged telegram, which helped
to- shake great events, was sprung,

Is the Franklng Privilege to Coz

Representative Champ Clark pre-
diets that ultimately the government
will do away with the franking priv
ilege on its letters and substitute lump
appropriations to cover the postage on
such mail. and Mr.. Clark says that in
asmuch as such tremendous abuses OF
the Thanking privilege have crept in he
would favor such change. MY
stamp BILL" he says, averages one
dollar a day, which have to pay, out
side of franked matter. Nearly every
letter is necessitated by the fact that
am a member of congress. The frank
ing of public documents is for the ben
eft of the people, not member OF
congress. We have carried public doc
uments to a ridiculous extent in this
country. In England the people can
not get anything unless they pay for
it. not even copies of the government
budget"

head there appeared a heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see so small baby look as she
did. Imaginei The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.

Greeted With Astonishment and Curl
osIty, They Were Finally Ordered
= Sack to Their Ship as Most
Undesirable Foreign Devils"

.Setn Low, who is known In ma
: tlonal education circles as a former
president of Columbia university, in
national philanthropic circles as
maker of. numerous munificent gifts.
and in politics as a former mayor OF
New York city, and also of Brooklyn
when the latter was an Independent
city, was one of a company of gentle
men who had met to discuss the TWEEN
deth century industrial and CONNER
Cial Awakening of China. Mr.. Lows
father. the late A. A. Low, gained his
great fortune and established world
wide reputation as merchant,
through the great commerce estao-
blished by his house with China. He
was owner of some of the clipper
ships which made America famous on
the seas sixty odd years ago.
OF the men who met with Mr.. Low
there were several who had recently
been in China, and thye told from per-
s6nal knowledgs of the great changes
taking place in the empire. and par

Low. The anecdote of the first wom-

ladies was an aunt of mine, sister

Their adventure in China, ] believe, is
not generally known.
These ladies took passage for chi
ma upon one of my fathers clippers.
On reaching port they went ashore
and were at once the objects OF the
utmost establishment and curiosity.
Almost as speedily. too, there came
mutterings against the two women
not so much from the merchants as
from the ruling classes, who insisted
10 the ships officers that the foreign
devils. as the authorities described
the amiable ladies. should be instant
ly deported.
AT once assurances were given the
authorities that the two ladies had no
intention of interfering in any way
with Chinese customs: that they had
simply come to China on ship OF
their relatives as travellers anxious to
see strange lands

proxy in the state committee meeting.
The telegram was signed William H.
Robertson
LAS we stood there discussing the
telegram, the only thing that &C.
Cured to us was that Judge Robertson
was getting ready to resume friendly
relations with the Arthur administra-
ton, and that this was his way Of
showing it. We never doubted the
good faith of the telegram, which
French showed after breakfast to vari-
Gus Republican leaders, and after
wards presented to the state commit
tee as his authority to act for Mr.
Robertson. There wasn't a person
who saw. it who doubted its authen-
ITCHY.
when the word did come that the
telegram had been forged poor French
was thunderstruck. 1t will ruin me
politically; no one will believe
that l did not put up the job myself,
he said to me, adding, prophetically,
1t will make a martyr of me- 1t did
poor French, with is broken heart,
dying a few years later 'unhonored
and unsung.'
PERSONALLY, I consider that my
proof of his innocence of the forgery
is complete; 1 know that Stephen
V. French never sent himself that
forged telegram. Blu: who did send
it will probably remain forever an I'M
