A Scottish farmer was asked to the
funeral of a neighbours wife, and as
he had attended the funeral of both of
her predecessors, his own wife was
rather surprised when he informed
her that he had declined the invita-
ton.
For some time Sandy would give
no reason for the refusal, but he could
not stand the old lady off, so finally
he told her with some hesitation:

The proposed plan to have gen.
eral public reception by President
Wilson to take the place of the dis
carded inaugural ball, Is not heartily
approved in Washington. It is re-
called that at the Inauguration Of
Andrew jackson. q public reception
was given at the White House and
the crowd was so disorderly that many
men had to be thrown out the White
House windows. Even the solemnity
OF death does not make large crowds
orderly and when the body Of Presi-
dent Mckinley was lying In state,
scenes of disorder occurred. Besides
all this. probably 100000 people would

French Claims
Century Old.

For about the hftieth time the
French spoliation claims has been
dealt a death blow in congress. But
those who swallow this statement un-
ressrvedly had better remember that
these claims are hundred years old
and that they come before every con-
gress. Few people really know the
origin of these claims.
In the closing days Of the eighteenth
century France and the United States
came very near having war, but this
was not formally declared although a
state OF war existed. The American
frigate Constellation captured a French
frigate and disabled another In West
Indian waters. In turn the French
government issued letters Of maruue
to privateersmen who preyed upon
American commerce 30 industriously
that it almost drove 1t from the seas.
c. c. Pinkney. John Marshall and
E1dredge Gerry went to France to
settle matters. but the government re-
fused to receive them. intimating at
the same time that q generous bride
might open the door. It was then that
Finkney said: Millions for defense
but not one cent for tribute"
About that time Napoleon took
charge OF France and he made peace
with America. In the new treaty the
American government assumed pay
ment to its citizens for all the dam
ages done to American shipping by
the French privateers.
From time to time congress has paid
few of these claims but the bulk re-
mains unpaid. Some Of them are
not well authenticated. Others have
passed from the line of original hold
ers into the hands Of SPECTATORS. But
the United States has always thor
cughly disapproved of gambling in
claims against the government
And the probabilities are that the
next congress win give the spoliatior
-Ather death blow.

ON THE SPUR OF
THE MOMENT.
BY ROY x. Mouftcn.
Good News for the U. c,
BY Roy & Moulton.

The ultimate consumer need not be
down hearted for while some COM
modities are going UP others are com
ing down. 1t was somewhat of a poser
when he was confronted by the fact
that there has been a heavy advance
in the price of sugar, but the glad
news has just been announced
In London that there has been a sharp
decrease in the price of radiurn, which
is now only $4,000 gram, the lowest
since it was discovered by NJ. and
Nine. Curie.
The ultimate consumer will be de-
lighted to know that this great health
restorer and general all around boon
to mankind can now be secured at
such trif1ing cost. A man can plank
down $4,000 and carry away whole
gram Of the substance where former
ly it would have cost him more than
100000. A gram, by the way. is near
~ large enough TO make shirtstud
for flea.
The reduction in price will no doubt
cause a great furry in the radium
market, which has been rather stag
nant for some time ON account of the
prohibitfve cost. Persons who have
| felt up to this time as though they
could not afford a liberal supply Of
| the precious substance will be order
! ing it from the wholesale houses and
storing 1t up in the coal bin down Gel
| lar, just as though It were anthra-
cite. In fact, it will probably be only
| short time until there will be but
very little difference in the price OF
radium and coal. The news from Eng
land regarding radium is very reas-
surfing and will tend to satisfy the ul-
innate consumer that he has much to
/ be thankful for.

It was a graceful act on the part
Of Joe Bailey to announce that he had
not altogether retired from politics.
To pull out all of a sudden would
have given the country, and partic-
uIarly his own state. a severe shock
and the public will appreciate his
coming off the pedestal on the install
ment plan. Like 30 many reaction
aries, Mr.. Bailey fails to realize the
meaning and extent Of the revol1-
ton that is going on in the country
and doubtless he believes, what he
terms the progressive craze, viii soon
pass and he will be returned to the
senate. Mr.. Bailey's dominating idea
is that age lends a kind of saeredness
to principles and practices of govern
ment. Like the Bourbons. he never
learns anything ana never forgets any
thing.

Threaten to Lynch Negro Accused
Of Attacking Young
Girl.
MOB HALTED BY SHERIFF
Officer Turns Crowd Away and Dep
uties are Put on
Guard.

New Hampton, Ia, Aug. Am
armed mob of zoo men stormed the
Chickasaw county jail last night
threatening to lynch David Dyer, a
negro. The men were met at the
door of the jail by Sheriff A. NJ. Rus
sell, who shouted to them that he
would protect his prisoner at any
cost to himself.
The crowd was stopped by the
sheriff's speech from assault on the
Jail doors. but disappeared slowly.
At midnight, three hours after the
rush toward the jail the town was
quiet, but Sheriff Russell swore in
a number of deputies to serve as
guards throughout the night.
The prisoner probably will be
transported to a neighboring town
by automobile for safe keeping.
Dyer was arrested by Sheriff Rus
sell ON a charge of assault with at
tempt to commit rape on the per-
son of the 16-year-old daughter Of
Mrs. Ganske, whose home is south
east of New Hampton.
A great show Of indignation was
apparent in the neighborhood when
the negro was taken into custody,
but nothing to indicate serious
trouble. Last nights mob came al
most unexpectedly. but Sheriff Rus
sell faced the men who surrounded
the entrance to the Jail, warning
them that any attempt to seize the
prisoner would be disastrous.
Considerable shooting aecompan-
led the demonstrations Of the mob,
but it is said by some the explosions
were made by firecackers, and not
revolvers.
Sheriff Russell did not say wheth-
er he recognized any members OF the
throng and would prosecute them.

WHY HIGH PRICES.

The Iowa Farmer: Hon. JOSEPH
G. Cannon, for many years speake,
of the house of representatives, has
contributed notable article to the
Saturday Evening Post and here IL
an extract from it that gives some
idea as to prices the ultimate con.
sumner" must pay: .".
1--WE have developed an extrava-
giant If not luxurious method OF
marketing our products, both of the
farm and the factory. An ultimate
consumer up in Winnipeg last fall
bought barrel Of apples, and found
a note in the barrel from the apple
grower in Ontario, which read: I
got seventy cents for this barrel of
apples. What did you pay for it,
Mind you, that was not in this coun-
try, but in Canada country many
consumers have desired to recipro-
cate with in trade.
well, the Winnipeg consumer
had paid 1925 for the apples. He
was anxious to know where the
$4.55 increase went, and he found
that the barrel had cost thirty cents
and the freight seventy cents. Still
there was left 1856 to pay for the
cost of marketing the fruit. 1t Is
the same over here with a suit Of
clothes.
"The tariff board gave us an ex-
ample in its report That board
found that in a suit of clothes sell
ing for twenty-three dollars and up
ward the wool grower received $3.50
for the wool; the wooden manufact-
urer received $4.7S for the cloth,
and the cost of all the material
that entered into the making OF the
suit, except the labor, was $7.55.
The cost of making the suit was
s3.74 and the entire factory cost OF
the clothes was s12.41. This was
the factory price but the consumer
had to pay anywhere from twenty
three to thirty dollars for that suit
of clothes. If the suit sold for TWEEN
ty-three dollars the profit between
the factory and the consumer
amounted to $10.59; If it sold for
twenty-five dollars it cost more to
get that suit from the factory to the
consumer than it did from the back
Of the sheep through the factory.

Disappearance Of $275,000 in Jew
els From Millionaire Colony
Still Unexplained.

Narragansett Pier, R. J.. Aug. 2.
The disappearance Of $275,000
worth Of jewels from two residen-
ces in the summer colony was unex-
planned yesterday, though a small
army Of detectives has been at work
on the mystery since last Saturday
night.
Mrs. John H. Hanan, who sustain
ed more than one-half of the total
loss. was indisposed as conse-
quence Of the disturbance of her
household combined with the serious
illness Of her husband. The latter
was said to be showing some inn
provement.
According to Charles C. Rumsey,
the original estimate Of the losses
at his cottage was much too small
and the figure is now placed ut
$4,000.
A report that Mr.. Rumsey had
dismissed the detectives who have
been in his employ could not be con-
frmed.

President Taft tried to make all
republican congressman subordinate
to his ideas and declared that repub-
licans who did not support admins
tration measures were not in fact
republicans. TO enforce his views
in this matter he used the federal
patronage club, but was unable to
beat into line republicans of con-
science and character who had opin-
ions of their own. President Wilson
is pursuing a similar course, but
President Wilson is able to get away
with the goods, as there does't seem
to be a democrat in congress who
has the courage to oppose the presi-
Dental edict. They are each and
every one as ciphers in the hands of
the executive. This is anything but
creditable to the democrats in con-
gress. Party Solidarity" is great
cry to induce men to vote for some
thing in which they do not believe.

A HALF WAY JOB,

Upton Advertiser: The new law
taking away the salaries of school
treasurers and compelling them to
pay interest on the funds in their
hands is causing trouble. Many
treasurers are refusing to serve. The
law is an improvement over the old
one, but the legislature might just
as we'll have gone further and abol-
ished the Office entirely. There is
no more use for school treasurer
than five wheels to wagon. The
funds of all school districts could
be easily cared for by the county
treasurer.
