most wholesome and welcome one
ne Is. May his tribe increase. While
IL Is doubtful whether the Feel prece-
Dent will be followed by any consid-
I cradle number of his fellow robbers,
MS confession should have happy
effect on the minds of money-mad
men. He has done his country SER
vice by his startling admission, for
while we have long since come to look
with suspicion upon the methods of
his kind, We have until this Chicago
bomb explosion, had little cooperation
from the ranks of the enemy. Now
that one of their tribe has turned
traitor, the American people should
feel encouraged and emboldened to re-
Vltalize what may be called the Ted
dian crusade against the operations of
the 'malefactors of great wealth.
There is no moral or statutory law in
this country which fixes a maximum
limit on the amount of wealth an in
dividual or group of individuals may
possess, but society has right to de-
mand that every penny Of it be made
honestly.
Therein lies the whole secret to our
national integrity. No man, or body
of men, is so divine in his origin, so
supreme over his fellows by virtue of
his wealth or birth, as to claim the
right to take that from his brother
which he does not earn. Whenever So
ciety universally clamors for the
honesty of the individual and the state
in turn unfailingly Furnishes the man,
or set of men, who seeks to cypress by
corrupt methods, then, and then only,
will society and state be secure in
their integrity.
Yes, Mr.. Feel has done his country
a good service-or has promised it
rather, and his sudden conversion"
may be taken as an awakening of the
long dormant conscience of those of
his class.
John D. Rockefeller piled up his
five hundred millions of dollars within
the course of an ordinary lifetime, and
now in the late evening of his brief
day, probably but a retrospective
glance over his past has served to re-
touch the spark of his human con-
science. The great oil king now at his
three score mile post has about-faced
and will attempt to amend the wrongs
he has done humanity by returning to
the world part of his ill-gotten gains.
After all the human soul is priceless
and the conscience only can fix its
value.

Defends His Piney Woods Yearlines


Under the caption 'Piney Woods
Yearling a la Creole" The Pensacola
Journal delivers itself of the follow
ing diatrfbe on the bovine denizens
of the pine forests of South Alabama
and West Florida:
You are sitting at the boarding
house table now in company with ten
or twelve other stays and maybe a
couple of ladies. You dive into a dish
OF muscular steak and land a quar-
ter pound piece. The serpent doesn't
beguile you. but you do eat-or at
tempt to. rather. You chew hard and
long on that bite of piney woods yearl-
ing until it seems that your efforts
are all misspent. Here's where both
horns of that traditional dilemma
shoot up TO be chosen between: You
must either commit the sin of swa1-
lowing that steak and suffer painful
agonies. or else drop the morsel on
your plate before all that glazing

We have all heard of the mean
est man on earth, but never saw
him. He has just been located at
Columbus, Indiana. He informed
the pastor of the Methodist church
of that city that he would make
the church donation of $50 on
New Years day If he could induce
all the women of the congregation
to remove their hats every Sunday
night, SO that the people behind
them could see. The pastor made
known the offer last Sunday night,
and after much mutterings and the
heaping of imprecations upon the
officious man and the money loving
pastor. the ladies removed their
hats. though they were of the
broad -brimmed Easter variety.
But they will hardly keep the COM
pact for every Sunday night during
the year, as styles will be contin-
ually changing. Clarion Ledger.

The Saving Habit.

Those who have not yet con-
tracted the saving habit" can
study the bank ads which appear in
this paper each issue with profit to
themselves. The saving habit"
is a good one and it grows like any
other. Andrew Carnegie said re-
Gently that after a man accummu-
lates the first thousand dollars it
does not then require much time to
gain financial independence. This
simply means that it is a difficult
matter to save the first thousand
dollars because no attention is paid
to the future. About the time that
a man can save that amout from
his earnings the saving habit" has
grown on him. the banks have a
personal motive in educating the
people to deposit their funds with
them, but in helping themselves
they are helping you. Study their
ads each week and see If you do not
conclude that their advice is to
your interest, why, then the fault
is yours.-Ex.

Esdaral Homestead LAWS.

The federal homestead laws begin
with the act OF 1862, now a part Of the
United States revised statutes. Their
policy is to give portions Of the pub

tivate and make permanent homes
upon them. Any person who is the
head of family or who is twenty-one
years OF age and is n citizen of the
United States or who has filed his
declaration OF intention to become such

NORTH MAGNETIC POLE.
II Is Not a Stationary Point, but Is
Constantly Shifting.

SOUoNdHAiJ ObiiNHi9s
Only the experts understand that the
north pole and the north magnetic pole
arc two entirely different things. AS a
matter of fact. there are few localities
on the earths surface where the com
pass points due north. The reason Is
because the north magnetic pole or
area lies in the vicinity of King VIII
liam's Land, just off the arctic coast
of North America, in Bothnia. When
this magnetic pole is between us and
the north pole the compass points due
north. AS we go either east or west
from this line it is easy to see that
the compass is off to a certain degree.
If we were to travel north of the mag
netic pole the needle would point
south; west of it the needle would
point east. Sir James Ross in 1881
located the north magnetic pole APP
proximately at point up in Bothnia.
In 1908 Captain Road Amundsen in
the ship Gjoa set out on three years
expedition, relocated the magnetic
pole and made the northwest pas
sage" for which mariners have striven
since the days Of Henry Hudson. Ter
restrial magnetic force is different in
every part Of the earth's surface and
is not always the same at a given
point. 1t is subject TO regular daily
and yearly changes. Amundsen post
ed himself near the seat of the. mag
netlc power and for nineteen months,
day and night, with his party, took
readings OF their instruments, both in
elination and declination. He also
made short excursions into the region
of the magnetic pole and was able by
the aid of the declination observations
TO prove that the magnetic north pole
does not have n stationary situation,
but is continually moving. But the
general location Is where Sir James
Ross first had the honor 20 place it,

Hotchkiss. l told her that Mrs. Sulli-

her father were killed in the wreck.
She will be in a bad way, sir"
F, you mean that she-still cares
