KEEPS HER JOB AS DUTY.
Mrs. Green Gets SO Year, but Sets
an Example.

Wenonah, n. because she be-
lieves it is the duty of women as well
as men to bear the burden of public
office, Mrs. Ruth Green, the only
woman overseer of the poor in New
Jersey, has decided to hold on to the
job. She was appointed six months
ago by Mayor Lorence of Wenonah
for a term of five years.
So far Mrs Green has found the
duties of her office light. She has
had only one application from a fam
lily that wanted to get ION the town, -
but as this case was beyond the bor-
ough limits she could do nothing. The
office pays SO a year, so it is not
for the salary that Mrs. Green will
serve. 1t is the principle that holds
her, she says.
Mrs. Green is president of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance union
and director of the needlework guild.
The men of the town say she got her
appointment because of her reputa-
ton for kindness. Mrs Green insists
that it was "this woman suffrage
thing" that did it.

Prosperity Ignores Politics.


New York, Aug. 6.-The managers
of the various presidential compaign
headquarters who have been looking
into conditions the country over with
a view to twisting them into best
arguments for their respective candi-
dates, or against their opponents are
facing a peculiar situation, according
to the statements of some prominent
wall street experts. Reports that
are coming to the street daily con-
tain nothing but the best of news
practically in every line of business
and industry. Bumper crops of all
kinds are in prospect or being har-
vested, the railroads are bending
their energies in preparation for an
unusually heavy volume of traffic,
cement trade is fully up to expecta-
tions, labor is scarce, both the iron
and steel industries are behind in
their orders and retail trade is NOV
ing finely. There is presidential
campaign on, but for the first time
in a generation, business and indus
try are paying no attention to the po-
litical aspects of the situation and alb
solutely refuse to be frightened by
whatever calamity" talk has thus far
been emitted by professional politi-
clans. With a wheat crop of 700, ,O00,-
600 bushels for the, United States pre-
dicted. as well as a bumper yield of
oats and a fair prospect of a good
corn crop, the grain growing sections
of the country are jubilant.

Its pretty hard to be a prosperous
Tarmer with many. many broad acres
turning revenue into your pocket and
then be mistaken for an object OF
commendable charity. Anyway so
Shinks-well, what's the use of men
bioning names. 1t would only make
the man feel more Inundated and
subject him to the merciless banter
OF his many friends. So Wen just
pass on to the story with the infor-
snation that he is one of the most
prominent wheat growers in the
county.
Recently he had the misfortune to
suffer an injury to one of his legs
and has since been forced to hobble
about as best he can. 1t being in the
midst of harvest, of course Mr.. Pros
porous Farmer does not exactly dress

and explanatory.
Yesterday this particular farmer.
crippled and clad in his working raj
ment, chanced to be standing on the
street curb when a stranger, evidently
"a laborer. walked out of a nearby
saloon jingling a few coins in his
hand. Upon sight of the farmer he
paused, noted the damaged leg and,
evidently under the impression that
he had encountered a fellow laborer
up against hard luck. he walked up
and preferred the coins. The farmer
looked at the man in amazement

To Restore Buildings Washed Out

Edward Campbell, owner of the
farm on Butter creek which is op-
Grated by Frank Jones' has just re-
turned to his home at Portland after
viewing the disaster wrought by the
recent cloudburst and flood. All of
the buildings on his ranch were
washed away and he has ordered lum-
ber to replace them. James Nelson
who was one of the heaviest losers
by the flood despite the fact that his
house was left standing. will also
build new barns and outbuildings in
the near future. According to Will
liam Rahe, who was on the Nelson
ranch at the time of the flood, at the
Lightfoot place which is located at
the narrowest part of the Butter
creek valley, the waters reached a
depth of thirty feet by measurements
taken since the flood. At the Nelson
ranch, the wall of water was spread
out over a wide valley and was only
about five feet high.

As a token of their appreciation of
the advertisement given the Round
up by the Elks during the recent Port
land convention and of their reali-
zation that the local lodge went to
great expense to put on a feature that
gave the local festival more advertise
ment than could be bought the board
of directors of the Roundup last
night presented a check of $500 to
the local lodge of Elks. In speaking
of the matter this morning one of the
directors said: "We know that the
Elks spent several thousand dollars
in preparing the feature and we re-
alize that the Roundup will profit
more from it than if he had set aside
s5O,OOO for publicity, and therefore
we feel that the association should
bear portion of the expense"

Hall Of Records, Los Angeles, Aug
6.-That Darrow and his attorneys
were. busy trapping John r. Harring-
ton at the time that sHarrigton was
busy "dictagraphing" Darrow, was
shown in the Darrow bribery tria
today by the testimony of w. H. Des-

Darrow had with Harrington in
February, 1912. when the late Judge
McNutt and another attorney, A. T
Tuchy, with him, were listening, on a

Indiana G. o. p. Convention.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 6.-The In
diana state republican convention
meets here today, and a lively ses-
sion is promised A full state ticket
will be named and the regular re-
publicans will get the strongest men
in their ranks to oppose not only the
democratic gubernatorial candidate
but the nominee of the third party
ex-senator Albert j. Beveridge. A
peculiar situation exists in this state
because of the split in the republican
ranks and the democrats are elated
over the fact, because they declare it
means victory for their ticket next
November. On the other hand, the
progressives are already claiming the
election of ex-senator Beveridge as
governor by large majority and VIC
tory for Theodore Roosevelt in the
state.

Welt Hadrey demonstration in the re-
publican convention was escorted to
the front railing balcony behind the
stage by Meyer Lisner. She waved
a bandana. Roosevelt responded by
giving her the railroad high sign
With bandana Roosevelt blew his
wife kiss. She was cheered. The
delegates then gave her the chautau-
qua salute with handkerchiefs. She
bowed acknowledgements.
Aisles Cleared.
After the demonstration the police
serjeant at arms made a determined
effort to clear the aisles and finally
restored order, after the demonstra-
ton had lasted So minutes.
Beveridge introduced Roosevelt.
He said Gentlemen of the conven-
ton. The hour and the man-Theo-
dore Roosevelt"
Roosevelt advanced to the center
of the platform exactly at 1:49. Be-
fore turning to the text of his speech,
Roosevelt congratulated the conven-
ton on what it had performed, de-
claring the progressive party was
dedicated to Justice and fair play
and equality between man and man.
The Negro Question.
Though Roosevelt's confession of
faith" overshadowed everything else
to come before the national progress
sive convention here today, delegates
admitted the action of the provision
al national committee in unseating the
negro delegates is sure to result in a
clash despite the endorsement of this
ruling by the credentials committee.
Not a single negro delegate from
the south had been seated when the
convention opened at noon and every
committee. but that on resolutions,
today reported.
The platform will probably contain
not fewer than 1000 words. 1t will
urge a scientific revision of the tar
iff, regulation of the trusts. compen-
sation for workingmen, the settlement
of the woman suffrage question by
each state. 1t will also advocate a
strong army and navy, judicial re-
ing the rule of the people easier.
Framing Platform.
Members of the platform commit
tee worked hard to frame a concise
document. the leaders insisting that
unless this was done the progressive
declaration of principles would not
get the necessary newspaper publicity.
Planks dealing with the negro ques-
ton occupied much of the committees s
time. AT noon it was reported that
Judge Lindsey of Denver had been
in communication with Brand Whit
lock of Toledo with a view of getting
him to accept the progressive guberna-
torial nomination in Ohio. A can
vass of the Ohio delegation showed
strong Whitlock sentiment. Whit
lock is acceptable to the Roosevelt
! leaders.

SUNKEN LOG TRAPS FISH.
Unfailing i'm Its Yield, No state Law
Is Violated

Humboldt Tenn.-In the Forked
Deer river, northeast of Humboldt,
is hollow log that forms one of the
most efficient fish traps imaginable,
and for many years it has yielded P.
L. Draper and ]. L. Henderson near
whose farms it is located, all the fish
they cared to use and left some over
for their neighbors
Last week they took fifty-four
pounds of catfish from the log at one
haul, one weighing thirty-six pounds
and another eighteen pounds.
Messrs. Draper and Henderson
claim that they are violating no anti
trapping game law in taking fish
from the hollow log, as they did not
put it in the river and are not to
blame for the fish getting into the
log.
