KNOX FINDS U. S. HATED
BY LATIN AMERICA

SAN FRANCISCO, May THAT
the decided anti-Japanese sentiment
among certain classes OF citizenry OF
Central American republics is due to
a we'll organized propaganda of the
interests in these countries, who pro-
fit by existing conditions and who
use the native press to further their
schemes. was the declaration made
here today by Secretary of State Phi
lander C. Knox, upon his arrival IN
San Francisco.
II was to correct these existing mis-
representations as to the attitude OF
the United States toward these re-
|publics that Secretary Knox made his
visit to them, carrying assurance OF
good will.
Only the worst features OF our ma
|tionaI life, stories of crimes, of politi-
cal debauchery, accidents, divorce
scandals and the like, according to
Secretary Knox, are printed about the
United States in the average Central
American newspaper, almost exclu-
siyely owned and managed, he says,
by soldiers of fortune, political NAL
contents and those who profit by such
Misrepresentation.
Such news is featured to a point
where the picture of the United
States, in the minds of the people, has
become a revolving one. Anything
rejecting credit upon the United
States is carefully suppressed. The
better class of people in these coun-
tries, however, are very friendly to-
ward us, says Knox, and gave him
cordial welcome as an emissary of
good intent from our government.
The great bugaboo in Central
America, declares Knox, kept alive
by the press there, is that Uncle Sam
wants to gobble that entire country.
Knox stopped for a time at the
Panama canal, and says he was as
sured by the engineers in charge of
the construction of the great Gatun
locks and dam that the canal would
be opened for passage of vessels not
later than July, 1913, barring SER
ious mishaps
THE very magnitude of the pro
iect," said Knox, has inspired
American engineering genius to the
point where new methods and new
Appliances for carrying on this stu
|pendous work were evolved.
1T is this, am certain, which
will be responsible for the compile
tion of the canal ahead of schedule
time"

Liars
By Walt Mason.

"All men are liars" David said. dis
gustedly, when he had read a lengthy
campaign speech. And what he said
OF ancient men is true today as it was
then, as all conditions teach. 1t shouldn't
dampen, though, our mirth, that liars
people all the earth and throng the busy
ways; for liars make this life worth
while and give the human face a smile.
and brighten all our days. When I am
sick the liars tell how sad they are that
I'm not well, how mournful are their
hearts; they hand me sympathy so sweet
that warmth comes to nv frigid feet,
and all my pain departs. And when 1
write misfit pome the liars seek nv
humble home to tell me it was fine; they
thus encourage me to strive, to keep the
Jaded muse alive, when she's in a de-
cline. The liars take the chereful view.
as this old world they amble through.
they are the Optimists; they rob this life
OF half its knots, and color up the faded
spots, and straighten out the twists.
The liar says the clouds will break and
that the good old sun will make this
planet once more glad; the truthful man
looks up and scowls; well have a month
OF this he growls, and makes our
bosoms sad. Some lies are gentle, kindly
things; some truths are barbed with
painful stings, keen as a serpents tooth;
l have no doubt that in the skies the
angels like some kinds of lies far better
than the truth.-Copyright, 1912, by
George Matthew Adams.

Toledo
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of HAt Good Old SiVash.'


TOLEDO, Ohio, was named from
Toledo, Spain, because of its vast
production of blades. 1t is Il
medium sized city located on the wese-
ern terminus of Lake Erie and large
tangle of railroads and interurbans,
among the former being the Lake Shore
railroad which compels its 10th Century
Filler to hesitate briefly there. This Is
real test Of size for towns along the
Vanderbilt lines.
If it were not for Cleveland, Buffalo
and Detroit, Toledo would be considered
a big town in those parts. It is about
10 years old, but some of its hotels
were built after the town was laid out.
1t has IA railroads. several interurbans,
one river. one extinct canal and one nat
ural gas pipe line which heats the city
and cooks its meals. Because of this pipe
line Toledo men can reach out from bed
in the morning and turn on the furnace,
thus allowing them to sleep longer This
Is why Chicago has accumulated 2,0OO,-
600 people. while Toledo has amassed
16S, 900. They have got to get up early
and hustle in Chicago.
Toledo manufactures automobiles

Clerk Pitman says that the license
he issued was returned the next day.
that he Cancelled it, and handed 1t back
to Mr.. Stewart, who says the license
was later destroyed
It was II o'clock at night when dep

by furious knocking at his front door.
He hastily dressed and armed himself
with a pistol; I didn't have the slight
est idea what was up" says Cain, and
didn't want to get knocked IN the
head like that"
At the door, in an automobile were
the young people, with a party
of their friends. and Mr.. Stewart con-
fided to the deputy his desire for a
marriage license. The county clerks
office was closed. but Cain knew that
Park Pitman never overlooked m Op-
pOrtunity to make young folks happy.
and he correctly surmised that the
county clerk kept a stock Of licenses
at his home for just such emergencies.
So Cain climbed in the car and off they
sped to Pitman's residence at 1925 Ari-
iona street
Pitman was sitting up reading the
Bible when the party called He gladly
performed his important part in the
ceremony and issued the paper with

dfssuaded the two from carrying out
their plan according to schedule, and
the next morning Mr. Stewart permitted
the county clerk to cancel the license
