sCoMMENDABLE LEGISLATION

Like some other States, Massachusetts,
hasIhad a law on her statute books for
some time providing that every school
house should hoist an American flag.
This has had no penalty attached to it,
and in good many Instances had been
disregarded. This was keenly felt by
Comrade Edward o. Skelton, Patriotic
Instructor for the Department of Mass
achusetts. and for two years he has
worked hard and effectively to have the
Legislature to amend the law by the
addition of a penalty clause He met
strong opposition, but he had the salts

campment If Massachusetts,, April 6.
that the following law had been passed
ernor. Comrade Shelton preserves the
pen with which Gov Foss signed the
bill as a precious relic. AS it now
stands on the statute books of Mass
achusetts, the law reads:
Section fifty of chapter forty-two of
the Revised Laws, as amended by chap
ter two hundred and twenty-nine of

The statement that Embassador Will
son obtained photographed treaty be-
tween Mexico and Japan is too startling
to be accepted without further evi-
dence. II does not seem probable that
Japan and Mexico would enter into a
secret agreement which would be dis
tinctly offensive 10 the United States,
nor does ii seem probable that Japan
would throw an outpost across the Pa
cific Ocean when she is strenuousIy in
need OF all her men and resources in
making Korea and Manchuria Ready
for the Russian invasion. which is sure
to come. A naval base of Japan in
Mexico would be more a source of dan
ger 20 her and to Mexico than anything
else. In the event of Japan becoming
involved in a war with any other power,
the base would be at once taken away
from her and she could not possibly
defend It. Yet the story is given with
such an amount Of circumstantial detail
and these details agree with SO many
known facts that il arrests attention and
ealls for further light.

The National tribune., 1911-04-13
ACTION IMPERATIvEIY NEEDED.

What the veterans imperatively need
by Congress is action. We have had
an abundance of resolutions, indorse-
ments, speeches, etc.
Congress is informed beyond any
possibility of a doubt as to what the
comrades want Multiplying bills is a
veXation; flanboyant speeches over
flowing with love and affection for the
men who saved the Union are a bur
den, and quibbling over insignificant
details a nuisance.
Not in 100 years of this thing can
Congress be better informed as to what
the veterans desire, what is impera-
lively needed aud what national jus
tice and gratitude demand than it is
at this day.
It is simply criminal to haggle over
different bills and their details at a
time when 100 veterans are dying daily
and the rest are struggling under ali
the pangs of old age. disease and
poverty.
Representatives who are talking
about the value of different bills and
putting one in opposition to another
are wickedly wasting time of vital i'm
portance to the veterans. Any bill that
we can get thru is better than no
bill.
The nearer approach any bill is made
to the terms of the Sulloway bill, the
better the veterans will be satisfied,
the more justice will be rendered, and
the greater will be the relief extended
to the veterans and their widows thru
out the country.
Let us have the pension bill passed
at once. A majority in both Houses
is ready for this, and waiting for
bill to be reported by the appropriate
committees
Delay is inexcusable, and no mem
Der of Congress need think that he
can go before his constituents and ex-
cuse himself for non-aotton upon the
.1imsy pretext that he was uninformed
as to the real wishes of the veterans,
or that he had some bill that was bet
ter than the bill which the veterans
have generally indorsed.
Let him get his bill or any bill thru
and then he can talk to his constit-
uents with probability that they will
believe in his protestations.
Let us have ACTION next week If
possible.
The veterans and their friends will
hold these pretended friends to strict
accountability for any delay.

plexy. Comrade Palmer was prominent
in the Grand Army, and was Depart

Reciprocity is being earnestly DISCUSS
ed in the Canadian Parliament, and the
debate drags on in way that aston
ishes even our easygoing Senate. The
bill for reciprocity was introduced three
and has been debated ever since. The
opposition is quite active and resource
full. Anti-reciprocity meetings are be-
ing held all through the country and
everywhere are posters headed with the
British flag and God Save the King"
with stirring appeals against the bill.

DEATH OF COL. LINCOLN.

The papers of Ell Reno. Okla, are
full of tributes to the late Charles P.
Lincoln. The funeral was attended by
arge delegations of Elks, Masons. vet
Grams of the Grand Army, the Bar As
sociation and the people generally. The
FL Reno Daily Democrat says:
To-day is but the early dawning of
what FL Reno really loses by the death
of Col Lincoln. We admire a man for
his manly principles: we laud him for
his attainments in life due to the acts
that place him within the public eye;
we love a man for his goodness of
heart and when all these are imbued
within the one man, as in the life and
character of Col. Lincoln, then we miss
him all the more Ell Reno was highly
favored by his coming here, bringing
with him the glories Of an eventful and
highly praiseworthy past, and in his
short stay here every deed has been
emblematic of the good deeds he had
performed in the past, and the citizen
ship of Ell Reno will always point with
pride to the fact that Col. Lincoln was
one among u.s."
Comrade Lincoln was born at
Quincy, Mich, Oct. Z. 1843. and was
educated at Hillsdaie (Mich) College
He enlisted in the ist Mich, in which
he became Orderly-Sergeant, and then
received a commission as Captain in
the 18th Mich, of which the late Gen,
Shafter was Colonel. He was taken
prisoner with the rest of the regiment
at ThOmpson's Station, and confined
for several months. Upon being mus
tered out he studied law, was admitted
to the bar and removed to Mississippi,
where he became prominent in politics
during the reconstruction period. In
1875 he WAS appointed Consul at Can
ton, which position he held for six
years. He then took up his residence
at Washington, and became Deputy
Commissioner of Pensions from 1889 to
1903. During this time he married
Miss Elizabeth De Ware Allen, and re-
moved to Ell Reno in 1903, becoming
attorney for the Kiowa. Comanche and
Arapaho tribes of Indians from 1895 to
1899. He took an active part in poll
tics and was the Republican candidate
for Congress He was active from the
first in the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, and in 1888 was Commander of the
Department of Potomac, G. A. r., and
candidate for commandments
He was widely known in the Grand
Army and highly esteemed by all who
knew him. He was genial. kindly
man, a fine public speaker and in much
request at all veteran gatherings.

GERMANY SURRENOERS CHINA
Secret Arrangement to Annex 1t to
California Disclosed
JAPAN STIRRED
Minister -Wine-Tu Won Over
by Imperial Valley Envoy,
Barbara Ware

German secret State circles
will undoubtedly be reused to
know that full publicity has
been made of the diplomatic
fact that, acting merely in
clerical capacity for the au-
thor, we had the privilege last
spring of forwarding to the pub
fishers the final manuscript of
THE Winning of Barbara
Worth Having an abiding
faith in the merit and influence
of the book-to-be, and rejecting
that pictorial presentation was
potent factor with the public
today, the thought arose that
truthful and artistic delineation
of actual development of Bar
bara's desert would be of value
both at home and for sending
abroad.
We therefore placed an order
in Germany for the manufacture,
for us exclusively, of a line of
fine China, both thin and medi-
um, to be decorated in highest
art from subjects furnished by
us, photographs of actual nat
ural scenes of this desert"
The commission was entrust-
ed to a German artisan whose
name is little known in this
country. But where it is famil-
lar, it is one of those names pro-
h cnnn1 Of
the latters in it. Yonrote. Cruel
as is the name, it nevertheless
is recognized in Germany as
that of an exceptionally accurate
and delicate delineator. The
beauty OF his blendings and his
rich and softened colorings are
exceedingly rare, yet never false
or discordant.
Our hopes were high, our ex-
pectations confident. In the fin
ished product both have been
more than fulfilled; and we take
pardonable pride in present
ing to this valley worthy ware,
originated here and christened
for it's typical heroine, Barbara.
The subjects are hand-painted
scenes, painted by the hand of
the Almighty.
Henceforth Barbara ware will
be souvenir of this valley, rich,
glowing and growing, and it's
W rthy exponent wherever seen.
It's tuff to be pore; but it's
porer not to be at ALL And so,
while we have all the Barbara
ware that exists, we have not
very large stock. 1t will be ad-
visable for you, therefore, to
make your selections from it
early, remembering that every
piece you obtain is Of the orig
inal creation Of beautiful truth
full and artistic BARBARA ware.
