You cannot very we'll define it, but
there Is a sort Of cheeriness about a
cold spell that is indefinable. 1t is
not only charity, nor even desire to
help one another, that comes along at
such time. 1t is an irrepressible i'm
pulse to like one another. What a
CHEEKY, fine chap that delivery boy is"
Wish | had little more of his red
blood" And you say Good morning"
to every responsive face in the street
car. Nobody waits for an introduction
when the big nature has taken little
old human nature in it's arms. When
the wagon wheels creak a jingle on
the snow large proportion Of the
American people think Of the wood
pile back yonder," of the warm sup
per that mother on the farm or in the
small town home had gotten ready for
the boys coming in from sawbuck or
the barn. And all such thoughts are
the wholesomest possible-even those
that bring back chilblained feet in
stony boots and bleared eyes and the
struggles with elemental things. For
the primal, elemental things are the
whClesomest of all.

CHURCHILL IS JEERED
DEFEES BELFAST RIOTERS AND
URGES HOME RULE.
Bad Feeling Develops but Meeting
Ends Without Vio-
Ience.

Belfast, Ireland-Winston Church1h
came here to the heart Of the orange
mans country, made an address ana
left safely for home minus the broken
head which his opponents had predict
ed for him.
The first lord of the admiralty and
John E. Redmond, leader OF the irish
Nationalists, spoke from the same
platform on the home rule bill. MT.
Churchill outlined the intentions of
the government with respect to SELF
government for ireland and declared
no greater boon could come to the
empire than the settlement OF the
long and bitter quarrel between the
British government and the Irish peo-
pie.
When Mr.. Churchill, with his wife,
arrived at the Central station his
party was given a somewhat mixed
reception. A number OF. Orangemen
who had gathered at the station greet
ed them with groans and boos, but
these were drowned in the hearty
cheers of the large crowd of Liberals
and Nationalist.
The essential feature of the Liberal
governments home rule bill to be In
troduced into the British parliament
were set forth by Mr.. Churchill
The bill is to contain provisions for
fair representation in the two
houses of the Irish parliament of all
classes of the Irish people and re-
strictions will be placed on the pass
ing of laws or the imposition of taxes
which might be unjust to any party,
while religious freedom is to be Sc
cured.

GARY WARNS RICH
STEEL HEAD SAYS CAPITALISTS
MUST MEND THEIR WAYS OR
SUFFER REULTS.
FRENCH REVOLT RECALLED
"YeIIow Press" Together With DEM
aeogues, Blamed for Much of Un-
rest Prevalent Throughout World
Asks for Square Deal for Workers.

New York.-At the annual dinner
of the New York Lehigh club, given in
honor of Charles M Schwab at the
Hotel Aston, Ebert H. Gary, chairman
Of the United States Steel corpora
ton, made remarkable speech.
He said that unless capitalists-rich
men, powerful snen-take a lead in
trying to improve the condition OF
mankind great changes will come and
they will come mighty quick, and the
mob will bring them.
There is throughout the world just
now feeling OF unrest" said Mr..
Gary. That feeling pervades all
countries whatsoever without any ex-
ception.
There are two reasons for it, in
my opinion. 1t is the result, in the first
place, of the great recent improve
ment in the means of communication
throughout the world.
Those means of communication are
now so perfect that all important
things which are said and done at
any one place in the world are I'M
mediately known everywhere in the
world and reflect universal influ-
ence.
The second reason is because the
demagogue has for personal reasons
whether he be a so-called statesman
whom I would call an ordinary poll
tician, or whether he be a newspaper
owner DESTROYS Of increasing his cir
culation at any cost to get more ad-
vertising and make money like the
rest of us-that man, whoever he Is,
is disposed just now to appeal to the
passions and the prejudices of what
he sees fit to consider the masses.
HE does that strictly to advance
his particular interest. It is now fash
ionable to appeal to the so-called
working people, sometimes called the
poorer people, in order to excite them
to a bitter antagonism against those
classes variously called capitalists, ed
ucated ones, or corporations.
Now, this prevailing sentiment and
this prevailing attitude is growing. 1t
Is the most important subject up for
the consideration of the people OF this
country.
IT tell you, gentlemen, that there are
things being said nowadays which are
very similar indeed to things said just
before the French revolution.
'I tell you that the spark may yet
make a flame, and that soon.
II have an especial reason for say
ing this, a reason which affects you
and me.

Reject "DOLLAR-A-DAY" BILL
Senate Committee Votes Down Shcr-
wood Pension Measure and Adopts
Senator Shoots Substitute.

Washington-The senate committee
on pensions rejected the Sherwood
pension bill, providing for one dollar
a day pensions to G. A. R. men, and
adopted a substitute measure offered
by Senator Smoot OF Utah, providing
for an expenditure of $24.OOO,0OO.
Senators Brown of Nebraska and
Curtis of Kansas gave notice that they
would move in the senate to substitute
the original Sherwood bill for the
Smoot measure and demand its pas
sage.
Senator Shoots estimate of $24,-
100000 as the cost Of his plan Is
based upon the pension bureaus COM
putation of age and length OF service
of the veterans. The Sherwood bill,
according to the pension bureau,
would have cost $75,000,000 a year.
The Smoot bill was adopted by a
vote of IL to 2, after the Sherwood
bill had been voted down 10 to 4.
The Smoot bill provides scale OF
pensions varying with age and serV-
ice. which in the case OF soldier
who served 80 days amounts to $13
month between ages of sixty-two and
sixty-six; SIS between sixty-six and
seventy; SIS between seventy and
seventy-five, and $21 from seventy-hve
on.
The scale rises gradually with every
six months service until it allows $50
per month to veteran OF seventy
five years who was in the service
three years Or more. For soldier
who served three years or more the
scale is: From sixtytwo to sixty six
years, SIG; fros sixty-six to seventy,
SIS: from seventy to seventy-tive, $24.
and from seventy-tive on, $50.
The action of the committee brought
a protest on the floor Of the senate
from Senator Kenyon of Iowa.

END L0RIMER QUIZ
INQUIRY INTO ELECTION OF ILL
NOIS SENATOR CLOSED.
Opinion Is Divided as to Sheridan's
Ability as Stenosrapher-Dic
graph Test Made.

hington.-Hearing of testimony
in the senatorial investigation CT Sen
ator Lorimer's election is concluded.
Attorney Hanecy was given permits
sion to file a brief and also present a
plea Of res adjudica. Final action
by the senate is not expected before
June, although the preparation of it's
report will be begun at once by the
committee.
The nature OF the plea is that Sen
ator LOrimer's seat was placed IN
jeopardy once before on the same
charge and that the senate decided
he was entitled to his toga. The de
Tense will plead also that no add
tional evidence of material importance
was brought out at the second inves
tigation. and that the present com
mittee has no Jurisdiction
The investigation just ended begar
on June 20, 1911 The committee has
bean in session 102 days and has ex
amined 1870 witnesses. 1t is estimated
that the cost Of the inquiry SO far as
the government is concerned is Sl0l.-
900.
Three things engaged the attention
of the committee on the last day OF
it's inquiry-tests Of the ability OF
J. e. Sheridan, a stenographer en-
ployed by the Burns Detective agency,
to take down a conversation heard
through dictagraph; an apology
from Milton W. Blumenberg, who lost
his position when he denounced Sher-
idan's notes as manufactured" and
Edward Hines denial of the story told
by Miss Sewers that he had tried to
bride her.
The dictagraph tests of Sheridan's
ability were made under conditions
approximating those encountered II
Toronto when he made notes OF con
versation between Charles MCGOWAN
a Hines-Lorimer witness, and two de
tectives.
At the conclusion Of the tests the
opinion was just as much divided as
before regarding Sheridan's ability to
take down conversation heard
through a dictagraph.

VOTES TO CUT DOWN ARMY
House Adopts Amendment Dropping
Five Regiments of Cavalry, or
1000 Enlisted Men.

Washington.-Five regiments OF
cavalry were dropped from the army
list when the house passed an amend
ment to the Hay military bill.
This means the mastering out of
nearly 1000 enlisted men, the absorb
ton of the officers into other branches
of the service, and an annual saving
in pay and equipment of more than
$4,500,000.
AS the bill now reads that section
which provides pay for the enlisted
men by an appropriation of more than
$15,00O,000 makes the appropriation
conditional on the proviso that on
July 1, 1912, there shall not be more
than ten regiments of cavalry in the
United States army.

According to a dispatch from Rome,
letters from Italian officers and men
serving in Tripoli do not give the
golden accounts of the war to be found
In the official bulletins. There has
been much loss OF life and much dis
tress not officially reported. However,
this is the case in any war The let
tiers Of the soldiers at the front are
not often as cheering as the bulletins
issued by the government. The sol
diers see the hardships-the govern
ment announces the results that are
to it's advantage.

Misunderstanding each life, ac
cording to the American table, AL
$1,700, the annual economic loss tO|
Wisconsin from easily preventabeI
infectious and contagious diseases
and violence, which are classified ssI
preventable causes, amounts to $lG,1
059,900. This conclusion is reached
in the mortality report for 1911 isl
sued by the state bureau of vital stall
tistics. Deaths from the above named
preventable causes, according to the|
report numbered 9447 in 1911 OF
34.3 per cent Of the total.

noted is based on an estimated popuI

of causes of death, there being 2h|
more deaths from pneumonia than
from all other forms of tuberculosis!

in the number of deaths from tuOe|

Boys and girls of a high school in a
Long Island town struck on account
of the dismissal of a popular principal
and paraded the streets in regulation
striker style. This is a mild hint as
to the effect of dispensing with dis
cipline and subordination of the for
mer kind in the new system of educa-
ton in which the idea of self-control is
expanded into latitude. Young Amer
lea needs no incentive for further self
assertion, and many are inclined to
think that some old-fashioned ideas
about the young idea may be revived
with profit.

POOLING WITH THE LANGUAGE.

Another of that class of educators"
who imagines that he must propose
something "original'' in order to obtain
prominence has announced to the lit
erary world that he has succeeded in
eliminating nine letters from the al
phabet, thereby working in it a vast
improvement. So far as the process
of elimination is concerned he is, pos
sib1y, porrect in his statement The
matter Of improvement" however,
will have to be left to the majority
to decide, and there is no doubt that
the verdict will be overwhelmingly
against him. While the instance is
not important of itself, 1t is illustra
tive of another of the many attempts
that have been made within the past
few years to tinker with the English
language, the introduction of fad"
methods Of teaching and the general
tendency toward the bizarre in i'm
parting instruction. Very few Of the
radical innovations that have been
made within recent years have been
justified, says the Philadelphia in
quirer. The majority of them have
tended to befog the student and ham
per him in after life rather than make
his path easier. This was the case
with vertical handwriting and many
other improved methods that might
be mentioned.
