u. G. Robinson Exposed


of this INSCRIPTIONS fellow by William E. Johnson
which appears elsewhere in this paper For long
time he has been masquerading under the guise Of
Purifying the church, from bad connected with
the Anti Saloon League, publishing and scattering
broadcast nasty Sheet called the National ISSUE
made up wholly of INSCRIPTIONS and utterly false
attacks against the League and men connected with it.
He has gotten into the good graces of number of
party Prohbitionsts who dislike the Anti Saloon
League, and has secured money we are creditaby in
formed, from numbers of them, carry on his war
fare against the League and temperance legislation
generally; at the same time establishing relations
with the national liquor organization and securing
money from them for the purpose, thus COM
bning the money received from the liquor interests
and from party Prohibtonists whom he could dure
into paying their money into his hands to be used for
his unprincipled propaganda.
Not only has he worked against temperance legis-
laton in congress- but when the fight in Maine
and in number of other states he sent his scurrous
sheet to ministers and church people in the hope of
dscrediting who engaged in the work Of this
great REFORM all the time shouting through the col
umns of his Sheet "Why don't you sue? knowing full

brought against the Indianapolis News, some years
ago. in the Panama trouble the United States circuit
court decided that the libel committed, if
mtted at ALL only in the place of publication and not

lated Since that high decision the lower have
largely been following it. He knew that suit would
have to be brought in St. Louis. He likewise knew
the impossibty of the Ant-Saloon League convcting
employee of the liquor league in libel suit in
criminal court in ST. Louis brought by who

ministers and church people took up the cry, "Why
don't you sue?" who knew little about what it in
volved they did of the motives behind this slanderer
The nauseating thing about it is that men who
pretend be for temperance and in favor Of decency
and right can be duped into giving man of that
character money, holding conferences with him, writ
ing letters to him and giving him comfort generally in
his warfare against and agents honestly and
earnestly engaged in the overthrow of the liquor
traffic.

THE PASTOR
FIXED THEM RIGHT

The Rev. William Burd, paster
of the Methodist church at Hills
dale, N. j., is undoubtedly a man
Of original methods. -
For many years it had been his
wish to bring the boys Of Hillsdale
into his church and to make good
Christians out of them. But boys
are the same everywhere and the
boys of Hillsdale found lettering,
shooting craps, playing ball, ETC.,
more to theiJ. taste than sitting in
church on Sunday MOI ming. Pastor
Burd tried various schemes to
attract the Toys, but never sue
aeeded.
Finally the idea came to him to
organize among them a whistling
club, with a constitution and
numerous by laws, like any other
club. That appealed to the boys
and their enthusiasm reached the
point of white heat when the
castor, after conside rable drilling
and rehearsing, allowed twelve of
the youngsters to whistle hymns,
accompanied by the organ during
Sunday service.
The Innovation iat the church
service evidently pleased the
parents of the boys as much as the
boys themselves and the members
of the congregation lid not, even
protest when the boys, as matter
of introducing themselves gave
their "club-yell."

PULSE WATCH

Among the inRe nious devices Vt
the physician may be mentioned a
watch, constructed on the stop"
principle, whereby the number of
pulse beats per minute may be
indicated. A push-button il
pressed at the beginning of the
count and again at the twentieth
pulsation, when the number of
beats per minute is shown on a
dial without the necessity of calcu-
lation. Still another push on the
button brings the counter back to
the starting point. In the
ordinary method of taking the
pulse the observer is obliged to do
two things at the same time
count the beats and keep his eye
on his watch. With the pulse
watch only one operation is neces-
sary, the counting of the pulsa-
tons up to twenty, when the push
button is pressed.

OPPORTUNITIES OF.
FERED BY NEVADA

y
Abroad on the resources of
Nevada. concludes with the follow
ing summary of the cpport mites
offered:
Here is the situation, indust-
rally, educationally. socially. We
have sketched it plainly, without
frills. and it sums W. about like
this: that if Nevada is least among
the thousands of America, it is
yet potentially great; il it is today
undevHloped it will have a
dignified tomorrow; if it's pcresent
population is small--less than one
person to the square mile, that
means for the man outside who is
looking for an opportunity to get
in and win. Nevaoa has q great
agricultural area, anG has water
to irrigate twice or thrice its
present irrigated acreage; it has
millions of acres that will yet be
dry farmed successfully. snd a
great wealth of public and private
land that will be watered from
springs ard wells ard from storage
reservoirs which can ne built in a
small way by settlers. but Vill be
supplied by capital as the Iced is
shown and legitimate retu, ms are
assured for the investment; has
dry land and desert lands which
need only water and tie plough to
make them fruitful fields; has
grain lands which yield heavily if
given a little water and s. good
deal Of cultivation; has orchard
lands that will prove bonanHas for
skiful growers Of karhy fruits as
the apple and the pear: has a vast
region as dramatically attractive rs
Southern California, and where
the finer and more delicate fruit
will flo irish and the land vii, yield
high priced crops; semi .tropic
region where more than 10000
acres have beer listed with
applications to reclaim by develop
ing water, the land to be for sale
when passed upon by the proper
authorities. In addition to her
lands Nevada has adequate trans
portation facilities. Electric
lights, telephones and telegraph
lines in the remote quarters of the
great state, and has water to
generate immense electrical
energy and the raw material from
which 70 manufacture many pro-
ducts.
Nevada offers much 10 the hon e.
seeker with lite capital; offers
more to men with mtney, in the
form of improved raLches; offers
800 acres to the man of energy
under the law of the expanded
homestead, and where few years
of hardwork will WELD an income
producing home; offers opIortun-
tiles ir growing towns to establish
paying industries of various kinds:
offers the farmer more for his
labor, the stockgrowcr more for
his skill, the capitals: more for
his money than alnios:: any other
state in the Union. 1t will DO this
for years to come because the
state will be in the process of
develc pment. Something will be
doing. Nevada, for the first time
in her history, is awake to the
importance Of her unde, eloped
agri culture, and this lis ore Of

Columbia Feb. 15.-The steel

been completed, fell with a crash
yesterday, and is considered a total
wreck. Contractors in charge Of the

the wind caused the building to fall
The building was valued at $4,000.

Peking, Feb. 14.-12.40 a. m.-In-
dlfference Of the Chinese masses to
the form of government is very evil
dent In the capital. They accept the
news Of the republic without demon
stration either favorable or unfavor-
bic. There is not the slightest diff
ference apparent on the streets. The
police did not instruct the people to
hang out flags in celebration Of the
regime and therefore no bunting was
displayed.
rowing to preparation for the
chinese new year on February 1S,
the people have no time to take the
abdication Of the throne into con-
slderatlon except in regard to the
prospect of the soldiers marring the
festivities Of the only holiday in the
year. More than 10000 troops are
IN Peking or stationed around the
city walls. The citys discipline has
always been lax. 1t is now less strin-
gent than ever. and this makes looting
possible. Nevertheless Yuan Shi Kai.
It IS believed, will stop this.
Chinese ofliceholders are confident
Yuan Shi Kai controls the political
situation. and believe the south will
accept what he offers. The south
however, has not yet signified it's ac-
ceptance Of the proposed coalition.
Yuan Shi Kai officially informed
the foreign legations here today that
the throne has instructed him to form
q republican government which will
for the time being be carried on with
his former cabinet.
