MANY JOINING
DOLLAR CLUB

Recently more interest has been
shown in the Wilson Dollar club, rs
shown by the appended list Of names.
But it is not yet commencing to show
the proportions it should and instead
of the present list Of sixteen names
there should be ten times this mum

From all over the country remit
tances are going in to national head,
quarters, in some instances running
into the thousands of dollars, and it
would seem a reasonable proposition
that Grady county should send in q
contribution creditable to its citizen
ship.
The Democratic party is not receiv-
ing any money from the trusts and
big interests but is making the cam,
paign for the people with the money
contributed by the people.
After the campaign is over there
will be no senatorial investigation OF
the Democratic campaign fund to out
rage American deceney, such as that
blotting the pages Of the senatorial rec.
ords in the past few days, in which
the rottenness of the Republican cam.

perpetrators Of e crime.

didn't use his eyes as he should aaye.

Yes, sir Reddy Fox had grown care

was going and that no other danger
was near, he kept looking back to see
what Bowser the Hound was doing.

on looking behind him instead Of Ia

TROUBLE AHEAD FOR REDpY.

BY Thornton w. Burgess
(Written for the Associated Newspa'
pers.)
When, in broad daylight, almost UNI
der the nose OF Bowser the Hound,
Reddy Fox stole the plump pet chicken
Of Farmer Browns boy, he did it be-
cause he wanted 10 show Off He
wanted everyone to know how bold he
was. He thought himself SO smart
that he could do just what he pleased
and no one could stop him lie liked
to strut around through the Green
Forest and over the Green Meadows,
Dragging Of what ne had done and
could do
Now, people who boast and brag, and
who like to show off, are almost sure
to come to grief None OF the little
meadow and forest people liked Reddy
Fox, anyway Now they were SO tired
Of bis boasting that they we're just
aching to see him get into trouble.

War On HcbbIe skirts.

Mere man, in the person Of officials
of New York's street car lines, may
yet have something to say concerning
the styles Of feminine fashions Of
dress, and the dictates Of the dress
maker be made less absolute AS the
result Of an investigation which trac-
ton officials have been carrying on
for some time the conclusion has been
reached that the hobble skirt is a
public detriment and that dresses
should in the future be planned with
the needs Of this public in mind. The
chief accusation brought against the
hobble skirt is that it impedes traf-
fic. While its effect is not noticeable
on subway or elevated trains where
there is no necessity to step up, there
is a marked. difference in the case o
surface cars according to one high Of
ficial. According to him delays caused
BY the time consumed in stepping up
on to the platform by the wearers of
tight skirts are primary reason for
slow travel, To this same style he
also attributes many accidents, and
the wearing out Of sidewalks. "A
large number Of accidents" says he,
'are due to the fact that women wear
hobble skirts which impede them in
entering or alighting from cars
Moreover we also find that this skirt
by shortening steps and thus inereas
ing the number adds greatly to the
wear and tear on the payements" So
for utiIitarian reasons it looks as il
man might vet have something to say
concerning women's styles.

PataaonIan immigration.

A novel entry has been made in
New York's strean4 Of foreign immi-
grafton, unique even in the infinite
variety with which immigration Off
cials are associated4-two ranchmen
from Patagonia having arrived here
with the purpose of undertaking
sheep raising on the northern conti-
nent. Both have surprising lnowl-
edge Of worldwide conditions in
their business and both have become
convinced that the prospects for max
ing money are the better on the
northern continent. Among the many
distinct paths and by-paths or immi-
grafton that come under the observa-
ton Of the immigration officials,
there have been none leading from
South America and comparatively few
from the United States to South
America, although Europe is pouring
in new settlers by thousands. How
ever, the arrival Of the two men
from Patagonia is believed to be the
forerunner of a new lot Of alien home
seekers, although the entire popula-
tion Of Patagonia would barely supply
men enough to police the streets Of
Gotham. AS result Of the keen in
terest taken by immigration authori-
ties in the entry Of these names of
Charles P. Houstock Of Rio Gallegos,
and H. Calcutt, it subsequently was
ascertained that Houstock finally
bought six sections of land in the big
irrigated tract Of the Canadian Pacif-
ic railway out in Alberta. They report
ed that they had been attracted to
this territory by learning Of the case
Of farmer near Red Deer, Alberta,
who sold fifty ewes to neighbor at
Sc each, taking a note for the amount.
Before the note was due the neighbor
had received SO cents per head clear
for the wool from the sheep, and had
raised 54 lambs And he then sold
the whole bunch of 1O4 at Sc each.
His expense had been nominal. as

SCANDINAVIA IS
MULCTED BY
SWINDLERS
ARE GRABBED BY AN
HAMERIcAN EXCHANGE A
FAKE CONCERN

Copenhagen, Aug 2S. 1T sounds ur-
believable thatin a small country like
Denmark fortunes amounting to hun-
dreds Of millions Of dollars have dur
ing period Of a few years. passed
through the hands Of local bucket
shop which, by means Of an exceed
ingly clever trick. has managed to
operate in Scandinavia undisturbed
until now.
But the most remarkable feature of
the case, which has caused sensa-
tion all over Scandinavia, is that the
principal, Harry Cardossat head Of
this gambling bureau, is young man
25 years Of age, who as assistants en-
pIoyed his father. Louis Cardossa. a
bankrupt tailor, as secretary. and his
two sisters and a younger brother as
clerks.
The modus operandi, which has been
publicly unveiled in court was that
heaps Of circulars were spread broad
cast over Scandinavia, followed later
on by chasers and ultimately travel
ers, inviting the public to operate on
the American exchange, where the
gold was lying, waiting only to be
called for"
Largely by means Of the catching
title under which the business was
run the concern soon got number OF
clients on their books. The method
then was easy as It seems now. II q
customer was induced to give an or
der, say for 1000 casks Of lard ''for
the rise,'' another victim was quickly
produced and advised to give sim
liar order, but "a la baisse"-for a
fall in prices. In this way the Tex
change" never personally ran any
risk. The Exchange" satisfied itself
with the commission, amounting to 2sS
per cent OF the gross amount involved.
This commission during the existence
Of the exchange" reached amazing
figures.
1t has been shown in court that al
though the Exchange" on all its sta
tionery had printed the names Of three
telegraph codes, which it pretended TO
use, not a single telegram had ever
been sent to America. All the "oper-
ations'' were actually transacted with
in the walls Of the offices, using the
figures from Reuters official stock
exchange telegrams published IN the
newspapers daily.
The principal, shortly before the
prosecution was begun, went for a
holiday to America, leaving behind
him as the officials Of his exchange
his family, who apparently have only
taken a subsidiary part in the busi-
ness and his victims.

Lost House is Found.

While lost persons are nothing UNI
usual in New YORK, the police records
showing from 20 to so reports day
Of such cases, the present week has
brought to light the first instance on
record so far as known Of lost
house. Curiously enough the house
in question belongs, or at least is sup
posed to belong, to the city itself and
stands in one Of the most crowded
spots in the world adjoining police
court on the lower East side, For 30
years back at least nobody has known
or has attempted to find out to whom
the house, an oldfashioned brick rest
dencse, really belonged. During oil
this time it has been occupied rent
freely various attacnes Of the police
court next door, but the official rec
ords Of the city contain no reference
to it and apparently nobody knew or
took the trouble to inquire as to its
ownership. How much longer the
modest old house might have conceal
ed its identity in the center OF the
teeming East side had not anlaccident
revealed its secret might never be
known. It happened a few days ago,
however, that one of the occupants of
the house complained of the poor
quality of the gas supply. The com
pany found that no record existed Of
any connection with the house and
that it had been Illuminating the
place for thirty years or more at us
own expense. An attempt was then
made to locate the owner with the re-
suit that nobody could be found who
claimed it nor could any record be
discovered of its ownership, While
the city probably will enforce its
claim to the property the early his
tory Of the old house and the story d
how it came to lose itself in lowet
Manhattan seem likely to remain un-
solved mysteries.

. MONSTER GAS
PLANT in
GOTHAM
CITY is TO BE MADE A PLACE
OF PERPETUAL
LIGHT.

New York. Aug 2S.-In addition to
the greatest electric lighting plant
New York is now to have the great
est gas plant in the world, surpass-
ing even that which supplies the
needs Of London and as a result is
soon to add to its title Of the city
that never sleeps that Of the city that
never grows dark. Work is already
underway which when completed will
provide the largest source Of light
supply ever created by man. AS now
planned this giant plant will consist
OF nine separate units capable Of sup
plying 25O.0OO,OOO cubic feet Of gas
daily. Just what this means is shown
by the fact that the new light center,
capable Of making the Great White
Way look dim by comparison will
cost in the neighborhood Of $1O0,O0O.- !
900. Each unit Of this vast plant will
be a good-sized manufacturing city
in itself since the total area will be
about $50 acres or more than half a
square mile. One feature will be two
great steel oil tanks with a capacity
of million gallons each To guard
against the danger of fire with such
enormous quantities of inflammable
material at hand a special fire station
is to be erected. In addition to this,
great earthen dikes have been raised
about the oil tanks. Should this liq-
uid ever catch fire and break its met
al barriers New York would thus be
afforded the spectacle of a burning
lake, which except tor this safeguard
might become a most disastrous fiery
flood. The producing capacity of the
new plant when completed will be
nearly two and one-half times the
present gas consumption Of Manhat-
tan and the Bronx, and a twenty-one
foot tunnel hewn out Of the solid rock
$50 below the sea level will be part
Of the SYSTEM for conveying the gas
to the upper part Of the city. Alto
gether New York, with the completion
of this giant undertaking promises to
become city Of perpetual daylight.

YUAN Sill KAI IS
REAL FOE OF
PROGRESS
PRESIDENT OF CHINESE REPU6
Lie EM5oDIEs MANcHU
PRINCIPLES
By Former American Resident In
China

China
/. Current events in China are as sig
niGcant OF political progress as any
thing that has occurred there since
the movement for a republic was start
ed. Already the world sees that in
turning out the Manchu rulers the
Chinese did not greatly improve their
affairs, beyond the assertion Of big
political principle Those now high
est in authority had their official
training under the empire. Their mo-
tons Of absolutism are inbred.
It was not for perpetuation Of the
old rule under a new name that the
people revoIted, and civil war Is
threatened to settle again the question
OF government. However cruel the
conflict, class cannot stand against
mass, and popular faith in the repub-
lie will be confirmed by fresh bap-
tism. The next rulers win not be Of
1.-THE old school.
Yuan Shi Kai, whose tenure Of the
presidency is said to tbe still provi-
sional, and DR.. Sun Yat Sen, who
yielded first place to Yuan, in the
hope Of promoting strength and unity
embody the opposite political ideals
that are now to contest for supreme
| ey A patriot in China shines conspl-
cuously because he has rarely appear
ed in public view If DR.. Sun had not
previously proved his title to patriot
ism it would be universally conceded
by his present boldness in going to
Picking to confront there the powerful
Yuan and demand his impeachment.
The thing that Yuan has done to
provoke the visit of DR.. Sun--sending
men to execution whom he had invit-
ed to Pelking for peaceful political
conference-is what the imperial
house would have done in. similar cir
cumstances. Patriots who declared
themselves for liberal government or
the open door in the days of the en-
/ pire, and who were invited to Peking
to explain their views usually took
themselves as quickly as possible out
Of the country They knew that the
imperial house could tolerate only one
opinion When they fled rewards
were offered from Peking for their
heads.
There is only one recorded case in
which a patriot and reformer went to
Picking on invitation and escaped
death. Chang Chi Tung, viceroy at
Wuchang, wrote book favoring the
open door, entitled "China's Only
Hope" He was an old man, had done
excellent service for the empire
thorugh long official career, and he
enjoyed the confidence and love Of
the people. His execution would prob
ably have stirred a general revolt a
dozen years ago.
The Peking authorities transferred
him from his important post as vic
eroy where he was supreme over a
vast district to place on an imperial
advisory board in Peking From having
been one Of the chief figures in the
empire he was removed wholly from
the public eye. Nothing has since
Las Vegas optic., 1912-08-28

place wholly Chinese and dear to
the tradition Of the race.
PelSing remains the capital because
Yuan said he preferred to remain
there. That has been the center OF
his activities He is at home there
and has always commanded troops
there. The mere possession Of them
has given him the reputation Of sol
dier. He probably thinks that the
other provinces are now afraid Of the
northern troops and Of his untried
prowess in battle. Three centuries Of
Tartar rule proved that Picking is the
safest place in China for an autocrat.
IN the conflict now promised new
revelations Of the course Of Yuan Shi
Kai in the political upheaval Of the
country are to be expected. 1t may be
recalled that the new imperial regime
had stripped him OF HIS rank and ban
ished him from the capital province
after he had lived for years there in
high station. When the revolution
broke out the imperial house sent for
him to 90 to Picking and become its
protector. There have been hints that
the imperial authorities summoned
him to Peking for fear that otherwise
he would be in hostile camp.
His defense OF the throne. as re-
ported in the news despatche. showed
him a good friend Of himself. AS
usual, he led no troops to battle.
When the enemy gave sign Of ap-
proach he set up a parley. The throne
poured treasure into his lap to pay his
soldiers and keep up the good fight.
Finally. by his persuasion. the throne
yielded without fighting and when the
imperial household moved away the
soldiers engaged in a campaign Of loot
because they had not received their
wages.
Since Yuan became president there
has not been the first sign in China Of
substantial political progress The
country is bankrupt. Foreign money
will not go there because It can get
no security. Yuan rejected the pro-
position Of foreign advisers to super
wise the outlay Of money and to as
sure its use for public purposes rather
than private enrichment And then
he"saved his face" by appointing two
so-called foreign advisers, who have
not induced any change of banking
opinion and have not advised othcr-
wise.
China has proved to other nations
that it started the republic under
leadership nowise different in disposi-
tion or practices from the regime that
was overthrown. That mistake seems
to be in the way of speedy correction.
In the end the new government win
be in the hands Of its friends New

That American and English shop

some reason not yet discovered seems
to be the opinion Of two representa-.
tives Of one of London's largest
stores who have come to this city to

stores here in an attempt to find out
why the bargain sale which is 50 pop

ments two sales year are all that

" the attempted introduction OF
