STEEL MACNATE
 AT HOUSE PROBE.
J. j. Farrell Says Every DeserV. ing Employee Gets Bonus,

Representative Stanley of Kentucky chairman of the special steel commit tee, announced that, despite the publi cation of the report by the commission CT of corporations on the cost of pro ducing iron and steel products, the committee will insist upon the presen- 1 tatiOn of cost sheets by the United | States Steel corporation.
 ''The Smith report does not show on its face the source of information it sets forth" said MT. Stanley. '"The committee cannot accept it as the final word on the Steel corporations costs, but will insist that figures on this very important point be secured from the books of the corporation by the com mittee experts"
 James J. Farrell, president of the Steel corporation, resumed the stand. Replying to questions, Mr. Farrell, who was formerly head of the foreign sales department, admitted that rails are sold cheaper abroad than in the United States. The witness discussed the reward system of the corporation. The corporation spent $1,4OO,O0O on this account last year.
 Chairman Stanley wanted to know whether the bonus was paid to the high salaried employee or the day la borer.
 "Is it reward to the high salaried man or to the fellow who gets $2 a day?" MT. Stanley asked.
 "It goes to everybody who deserves It," responded MT. Farrell. For in- stance, a brakeman recently invented a dumping machine for which he was given a bOnus."
 It was brought out that Steel corpo- ration employees have the privilege of buying stock of the concern under ad- vantageOus terms.
 "How much of that stock goes to wage earners and the men who earn salariesY' the chairman asked.
 "In 1910," said Attorney D. A. Reed, counsel for the corporation, "5,923 men receiving less than $500 a year sub scribed for stock; 1O,344 men earning between $500 and $2,5OO a year sub scribed; 1,096 men receiving more than 1 $2,5OO year subscribed for stock"

THE HEAvIES" AT FORT FISHER
 (Continued from First Page.l

But, comrades you resent the char ge that you were paid for the service you gave. No; you went because your country was in peril your flag had been assailed. No pen can tell or begin to tell what you went through. Let us see You will remember when the Flag was fired upon at "Sumpter," that the coun- | try had nothing to wage a war with. Two things were needed-money and. men. They could wage war without money but not without men. A call was made for men, and a call for money. Bonds were issued; no one would take them at par 5-40's were issued-that is 8 one thousand dollar bond to run forty years paying five per cent. These bonds were to be paid in gold and interest in gold, and these bonds went down, down. The gold did not come fast enougf; The government issued 730 and pro- missed to pay them ill thirty years at seven per cent. both payable in gold, and these bonds were hard to float, and were sold for little more than one third of their face value, depreciated bond. but promise to pay at par at maturity Say there are two farmers living near each other. We will call one MT. Brown, the other MT. Jones. MT. Brown. by his frugality saved up,say $1 200 in gold and has no boys MT. Jones has raised three stalwart boys hale and hearty, ,wsy above | Ar tH 1R country for money. He takes his $l 200 and buys three one thousand dollar bonds at the depreciated price, which are to be paid in gold and interest at maturity. MT. Jones has a small farm, and the three boys answer the call of their country and go in above par and if they come back at all, they are way be- low par. They were paid for thelr risk, not in gold as was promised, but in a depreciated money worth about one. third value MT. Brown surrenders his bond at maturity and takes $3. .000 in gold aud has drawn his interest in gold through those years. Now what might be true in the above cases is true in all cases. Thousands of boys went out that never came back, others came back to die and thousanCs that went came back maimed for life and have dragged out a miserable existence.
 You will remember when the war closed that the country owed about three billion dollars and there was a clamor to repudiate the debt. No veteran would have voted to repudiate it's gov ernments' obligation and in the main those that would repudiate the govern ment's obligations to the soldier are the ones that would have repudiated the governments bonds, or those that have grown up since the war and know but little about it. Or in a word, bonds go int'way below par and comes out way above par, the veteran went in above par and came out way below par, and thousands did not come back at all.
 Let congress do as it pleases, the vet eran will be loyal to the core. Our motto will ever be "Our Country right but right or wrong, our Country I" There is still owing on these bonds over a billion upon which interest has to be paid.

Green Turtles.

The green turtle finds its home in the coral reefs lying to the north of Jamaica, though it is found in other parts of the West Indies. The creature is caught by the employment of ex- tremely strong nets, which are inter- laced between the rocks. Once caught the turtle is taken to Kingston, where it is kept in special sea water pens on the seashore. When in the pens the turtle is provided with a peculiar kind of sea grass, which it likes very much Curiously enough, when it is taken away from the West Indies it refuses to eat this grass. Indeed, it will die of starvation sooner than touch the grass, however carefully preserved. It takes eight pounds of flesh to make a single quart of soup.

Eminent Opinions ot Woman Suffrage.
 go for all sharing the privileges of the government who assist in bearing it's burdens, by no means excluding women Abraham Lincoln.
 believe ln the rights of the woman inst as much Gs I do in those of the man and indeed, little more. She can do the best work in her home if she has healthy outside interests and occupa- tions in addition. - Theodore Roosevelt.
 Because women consider the govern mept mems affair. they have become so confused in regard to their traditional business in life, the rearing of children, that they bear with complacency a state ment made by the Nestor of sanitary reformers that one-half of the tiny lives which make up the city's death rate each year might be saved by a more thorough application of sanitary science. Because it implies the use of the suffrage. they do not consider it women's business to save these Gves.-Jane Addams.
 Women are working for civic better ment. and their interest in affairs of the kind is constantly increasing. believe that woman suffrage will come event ually. There is one fundamental prin- ciple that applies to the whole thing - under 8 representative form of govern of people are more likely to be advanced when represented by one of themselves than ty one of another class, no matter how altruistic. William H. Taft.
 If women of New York City had the ballot, they would drive the corruption out. Each party would be compelled tc put up it's best candidates to stand any 1 chance of winning. I would like to see the ballot Ill the hands of every woman. Mark Twain.
 Suppose for the sake of argument, we accept the inequality of the sexes as one of natures immutable laws; call it fact that women are inferior to men Tn mind morals and physique. Why should this settle or materially affect the subject o1 so-called Woman's Rights? Would not this very inferiority be a reason why every advantage should be given to the weaker SEX, not only for it's own gooC but for the highest development of the race ?-Huxley.
 The natural right of woman to vote is just as clear as that of man, and resti on the same ground. Since she is called on to obey the laws, she ought to have 6 voice in making them. And the assump tion that she is not fit to vote is no better reason for denying her that right than was the assumption which has beer urged against every extension of the franchise to enfranchised men.- Henry George.

Rnoinu Cattle.

The eighteenth century experiment. ed with bulls and cows as racing mounts instead of horses. The early nineteenth century saw an equally in- teresting substitute for the harnessed horse. Just a century ago a small farmer of the neighborhood drove into St. Albans on market day in a little car drawn by four hogs. Having tour ed the market place three or four times amid popular applause, he put his ami mals up in a stable, did his marketing and drove off again to the accompani- ment of louder cheers, which did not make them shy. It had taken him six months to train them, and he re fused an offer of S250 down for the vehicle and team.-London Chronicle.

rha wonan Who ownsd Niaaara.

pr. Farquharson, eX-M. F., in his "Recollections" refers amusingly to his once having said in the house of commons that he owned a mountain. Claudius Clear in the British Weekly caps that story. His friend George Forbes, F. R. S., who had the chief part in harnessing Niagara, tells that once a Miss Porter was travelling in Europe, and at the table d'hote her neighbor said, "Oh, if you are an American I suppose you have seen NJ agara falls" She turned to her in- quirer, and, fixing him with her eyes, she said, "T own themw That was an answer indeed. The Porter family long owned most of the property about Niagara.-Westminst Gazette.
