SOCIETY MUST LEARN
TO SAVE THE SHIP
Pensacola Journal:

Says the Pensacola Journal:
Condemnation has been heaped upon
the heads of the officials of the White
Star Line on account of the evidence
revealing the fact that the sinking Of
the Titanic was uncalled for and could
and would have been prevented had
the officials done their duty.
The world shudders at the thought
of seventeen hundred souls going
down to death on account OF negli-
eence. 1t is awful to contemplate, but
each day of the three hundred and six
ty-five days in the year. seventeen hum
dred persons in the United States die
from preventable diseases and the
world goes on without giving assist
ance.
Statistics reported by the Conservva-
ton Commission on the National Vi
tally reveal the fact that OF the mil
lion and a half deaths which occur in
this nation AZ per cent OF them are
from preventable diseases.
Senator Owens has introduced a bill

nomically and efficiently than they
can at present. scattered in three diff
ferent departments.
The Owen bill has been reported
favorably by the committee on pubic
health and national quarantine or the
senate, and is now number sol on the
calendar.
The Journal has not gone into the
merits OF the bill, but Ii does appear
that its operation might do some gooa'
and 1t will probably receive favorable
consideration.
What would you give to prevent
seventeen hundred souls going down
to death as was the case when the
Titanic sank?

USE OF CROSS IN HERALDRY
More Than Four Hundred Forms Of
the Device Are Recognized In
That Science.

In early pagan days the cross was
asymbol of shame and ignominy, and
only those deformed or misshapen
trees that could be used for no other
purpose were formed into crosses.
But since the cross has become dear
to Christians, says the ave Maria"
the most precious woods and metals
have been formed into It, To the third
century may be traced the custom Of
making the Sign of the Cross. In
the days of Constantine, Christians
painted crosses on the entrances OF
their houses as a symbol OF their
faith.
The impetus to the use of the cross
in heraldry was given by the Crusa-
ders, who wore red cross upon their
right shoulder as a token of the OBJ
legation they had taken upon them
selves. It's form and meanings in her
aldic designs are many. In fact, over
four hundred and seven different
forms have been recorded by students
of biography and genealogy.
In heraldry the cross is formed by
two perpendicular and two horizontal
lines crossing in the center Of the
shield. This form is modified In va
rious ways by additions and combina-
tons, thus expressing many meanings.
It has been said that human intelli-
gence has never devised system SO
infinite In it's varieties and SO endless
in its application as is to be found in
the science of heraldry, in which fig
ure twenty-seven basic or fundamental
crosses.
The Greek cross has all four arms
of equal length, while the Latin cross
has the earth end longer than the 9th
er three arms. The Calvary or Christ
Cross rests upon three steps or de-
grees The Patriarch cross is recog-
nized by its double crossbar. The
ST. Andrews cross is an x, in token
Of the form of cross on which that
saint suffered martyrdom by having
his hands and feet bound to it's four
arms. The ST. Anthony cross is
shaped like T, and has its name
from the cross that St Anthony, alb
bot, wore upon his cloak, though the
origin Of his cross seems to be Egypt
ian.
1t is a matter Of interest that many
American families have the cross as
the basic emblem of their escutcheons.
Among them are at least FIVE Of the
presidents. The Garfield shield has a
blue cross in the dexter canton, and
the family motto is, I'm the cross
conquer" The Tyler shield had on it
a bar, two crescents and cross form.
The shield of the Adams family was
adorned by a large cruciform device.

WHAT The UNITED STATES
HAS DONE FOR PORTO RICO

We point with pride to Porto
Rico as affording tangible proof of
our genius for promoting the well
fare of other peoples.
Why is it that Cuba. under
native rule, has s signallY failed
to keep abreast of Porto Rico,
under American rule in point OF
development and prosperity? The
two islands had an even start
after their liberation from Spanish
domination, and owing to Cuba s
super iorty in natural resources it
was generally thought that her
people would profit most largely
from the change. Cuba has
advanced commercially in no small
degree, as must he conceded, Porto
Rico has left her larger neighbor
far behind comparatively in ever,
important respect agricuturaIly,
commercially and politically. Her
commerce with other nations il
five times that of 1901, the gain
being mostly in her trade with the
United States. Her sugar exports
increased in the same ratio. Last
years coffee crop, of supe,io Tor
quality, was the largest in the
hi4tory of the industry of the
Island, and is now being sold in the
United State for the first time.
Property values have more than
doubled since 1905, and the finances
Of the island are in most sstis-
factory condition Good order is

warships ever constructed, or
building according to the belief Of
officials of the Navy Department.
Powerful In armor and the only
vessels of the kinds in the world to
carry three fourteen.inch guns in
the one turret, the ships will
represent the best thought of both
branches of the service and will
marx the elimination of the
,rosiest dreams of shipbuilders.
When the New York and Texas
were authorized it was thought the
zenith of modern battleship build
ing had heen almost reached, hut
since the acceptance of the plan for
the Oklahoma and Nevada the.
authorities now see even greater
ships are possible and the novel
methods of construction and
armament will start development
along new lines.
\ Not only will the Oklahoma and
New Ida be as speedy as, but they
are so designed to give a better
account of themselves in all direc-
lions. in any engagement in which
they may participate, than others
in the navy.
These latest vessels will be 500
tons heavier than their immediate
predecessors, the New York and
Texas, their length over all to be
589 feet; beam 95 feet 2.8 inches,
mean draft % feet 6 inches, on
which will be displacement of 81.
SEQ tons. The engines of the two
new vessels Will differ, the Curtis
type being used on the Nevaua
and the reciprocal engine being
used on the Oklahoma. The
estimated speed will be 204 knots.
The armament of the Oklahoma
and Nevada will consist of ten
fourteen-inch guns carried in four
turrets. On the quarter deck will
be two-gun turret and astern of
that three-gun turret This ar
rangement, it is declared at the
Navy Department, will give con-
centration of fire much superior to
that of the New York and Texas,
which will be mounted with five
two-gun turrets when completed.

These lectures are free and they
should be largely attended by the

new SUPREME COURT RULES

RENE Court of the United State!

Rip Van Wrinkle slept only
twenty years, yet he was ST. range,
in the lani in which he had
slumbered when he came back to 6
waking life. The rules of equity in
the United States federal courts
have slept unaltered for fifty
years. What change those
ancient regulations must have
found Monday when Chief Justice
White of the United States sup
RENE court opeued their eyes to
modern conditions and altered
them to suit the movement OF
time!
In making the change the high
court admitted that fiftv years is
long period of any great extent
since they were received by the
republic from the mother country,
and the available records do not
tell how long these rules had lain
on the books of British courts
before their immigration to calf
bound libraries of the younger
nation.
Conspicuous among the changes
effected by the court in its pro-
mitigation of new rules are those
concerning injunctions. The new
procedure in injunction sui is
along the lines advocated by
organized labor, but the benefits
will be shared by all litigants who
appear in a good cause.

is about to he inflicted, but it must

forth in affidavits that such damage
will result. Furthermore. it is
provided that those restrained may
appear in court within two days
and be heard with expedition on q
motion to dissolve the restraining
order. Hearing on motion to
dismiss the order must be had
within ten days at the utmost,
while under the previous practice
no time limit was set by the

WAPElLO COUNTY FARMERS
DONATED MUCH FREE LABOR

pello county would reach several hum
dred dollars more than the above
amount.

| the front in the good roads movement
and next season 1t expects to lead all
other counties in the state in perfect
ing it's roads.
The farmers are responsible in a
large measure for the success OF the
good roads movement. In Keokuk
