Noise.

Noise was not invented by the Amer.
lean people, but they have done more
to develop 1t than any one else. II
you doubt this go to dinner party
given by an American society woman.
The manufacture Of noise in most
countries Is produced by natural
causes. In America it is the work Of
specialists. There are more people
making living out Of noise in this
country than anywhere else on earth.
Scientists are constantly trying to In
vent new noises. We depend as much
upon new, fresh noises as We do upon
new novels, new plays and new adul'
terations. Noise consists Of vibrations,
arranged in the noisest way. A loud
noise Is not to be despised, but the
test Of all noises is the one that IS Diff
ferent from any other we have ever
heard. Huge factories are devoted to
the production Of noise. 1t Is canned,
metalked and strung on wires. Moth
ing succeeds like noise. When we
reach the millennium we shall live on
noiseless noise. Hasten the day!-Llfe.

NO REBATES
FOR n. OAK.

Fargo, N. D., Aug.-North Dakota
residents will get no rebate on fares
between points in this state and Min
nesota paid since the decision of the
courts in the Minnesota rate case, in
the opinion of w. A. Stutsman of the
state railway commission now in SEES
sion here.
Mr.. Stutsman said today that the
railroads had voluntarily established
low rates between points in this state
and Minnesota, which would more
than offset the Inference made by the
lower Minnesota rates.
In other words the rates in force
are no higher than they would be if
allowed in each state.
For this reason Mr.. Stutsman said
he did not think that the patrons of
the roads between the two states were
entitled to any rebate.

Unexpected Answers,

The French government, wishing to
obtain definite statistics on points re-
lating to certain Turkish provinces,
sent blanks with questions to be an
swered to the provincial governors.
The replies received from the pasta of
Damascus are worth quoting:
Q.-What is the death rate in your
province? Ain Damascus it is the
will Of Allah that all should die. Some
die young, and some die old.
Q.-Whatp Is the annual number OF
births? A:7God alone can say. l dc
not know and hesitate to inquire.
Q.-Are the supplies of water sufh.

the remotest period no one has died

Tiny German States.

While 1t is well known that some Of
the German states are Of liliiputian
Size, few persons are aware that it Is
quite possible to visit seven of them,
including two kingdoms, two duchies
and three principalitdes, in an easy
walk of four and half hours.
A good walker, starting from Stein
bach, in Bavaria, will arrive in half
an hour at Lichtentanne, which Is sit
uated in saxe-Meiningen. Thence the
road proceeds in one and one-half
hours to Rauschengesees (Reuss, Elder
Branch), after which in a few minutes
Gleima, In Schwarzburg- Rudolstadt, is
reached.
Half an hours walk brings the pc
destrian to Altengesees Reuss, Young
er Branch). An hour farther on lies
Drognitz, on Prussian soil, and the last
stage is another hours stroll, finishing
up at Saalthal, Saxe-Altenburg.-E

THE AMERICAN
BOYS CHANCE

Miss Clara Elizabeth Loughlin the
novelist and writer, who is in England,
is unusually shocked by conditions
there. sheSregards it as tragedy for
any mother there to bring into the
world child whose future is not as
sured beforehand, and she says that
much as she loves England, much as
she honors England's glorious past, she
sees clearly that England is doomed,
and that the future will be tragic.
Now, what does this talk Of bril-
liant and sympathetic woman amount
toa To nothing except that the harder
economic an dmore cruel social condi-
lions in Europe naturally shock and
alarm any American, accustomed to all
the deliberations which we Americans
take as matters of course, as part Of
the scheme Of things.
England is this year more prosperous
than ever in her history, and when OUR
Democratic Tariff goes into effect, she
will be more prosperous still. Her ex-
ports today are at their maximum; her
income from foreign or oversee sources
is at it's maximum; her employment and
wages are at maximum. Today the
average British subject is better off in
every respect that he has been in any
year of our time.
And the prospects Of the immediate
future are promising. Trade COWS liter
ally by leaps and bounds. The demand
for workers expands. Investments
abroad are profitable. Chancellor
Lloyd George promises to rectify the
land laws, which are England's princi-
pal burden, and the American tariff
will be lowered.
Notwithstanding these optimistic
facts, there are the pessimistic facts
which Miss Loughlin observes, which
have shocked her American mind. But
the same facts, shaded somewhat dark
er or lighter, she could observe on the
Continent of Europe, in China, Egypt
ndia, Japan.
The simple truth is that what we
Americans take as our natdral privilege
and right constitutes magnificent ex-
emption and wonderous special bless
ing. Poverty as older civilizations
know poverty, does not exist for US.
Bars to advancement, forbidden better
ment to millions, aer not set up here.
The chance of a child born in Amerl-
ca today is prodigious as compared with
what an European or Asiatic child pos
sesses.
It is our national duty to preserve
this American chance by preserving
the opportunity for individual develop
ment and pervent the incoming OF the
Old Worlds poverty through soclails-
tic or kindred systems. But let us not
forget to be thankful for what we have
to realize how exceptional the estate OF
our people is.-Minneapolis Journal.

GoR1NG THE OTHER OK.

Kansas City Journal: The Mulhall
"investigation" has degenerated into
a driveling fiasco. in which no human
agency can sift the wheat, if there
is any. from the chaff, Of which there
is a great deal. The confessed or pro-
fessed. venal lobbyist has Disguised
the nation and it is now evident that
absolutely nothing will be gained by
further exploiting this thoroughly dis
reputable man. At the beginning the
democrats evidently imagined they had
made a great "fnd" in Mulhall. 1t
seemed possible to get this eager wit
ness to besmirch host Of republicans
with his slanderous tongue and letters.
AS long as Mulhall was testifylng
against republicans, Senator Reed ana
his associates were keen for. the game.
But the tables are turned. The inform
err has trained his mud guns upon demo
Gratis. and the great problem now con-
fronting the majority leaders is how
to let go. The hero of the historic
incident where the man was holding
the bear bv the tail had sinecure
compared with the democrats VINO are
RESPONSIBLE for the AIulhall investiga-
ton.
When the spectacular calumnlator
got through with the republicans and
began to spew his venom over the
| democrats the whole force Of the Null
hall "exposures was lost, SO tar as
they might be used politically. NO
sooner had the witness besmirched the
name of Oscar ". Underwood demo
cratic floor leader of the house, than
that outraged gentleman became fur''
ouslv angry. He appeared at the IN
vestigation and denounced Mulhali as
liar and blackmailer. He denied all
that the lobbyist had said and de-
clarea, ct tell you it is not right TO
let man like this attack public men,
particularly when he is Matchmaking
the men for whom he worked.
Republicans naturally are amused a
the turn these "exposures have tax
en- for it obviously means the com
n]ete failure Of the scheme which nae
been Matched against the republicans
Had the democrats been able to stol
the examination before the dirt begal
to fly in their direction some pol'tlca
capital might have been obtained bu
Alulhall is fountain of filth that re
fused to be plugged. So fond is he O.
the spotlight that he is going to keel
on talking as long as he can hold pup
lie attention.
Whv do not Senator Reed and nj
democratic associates do the decen
thing and rule out this malodorou
testimony as unfair and untrus'
worthy. What good can come Of con
tinuing to take the testimony Of maj
whom nobody believes under oath
The farce is costing the people NOR
than it would be worth even if Mulhal
we're honest and truthful. Mr.. Under
wood was quite right when he arrange
his associates for allowing. sueh
creature to attack public men in tn

OFFICERS.

WINCHESTER, VA, Aug. IL
The United States cavalry instruction
camp, situated near here, has recov-
cred from the damage done the early
part of the week by two severe wind
and transforms, during which more
than sixty tents were blown down ana
the contents scattered all over the
grounds.
Troopers also had hard work con-
trolling a stampede among the horses
and mules The two storms broke
Just in the vicinity of the camp, one
following the other before the dam
age done by the first storm could be
repaired There has been more rain
this week than at any time since the
camp was opened, nearly a month
ago. and the program OF maneuvers
has been interfered with to some ex-
tent. The men have taken on to the
new drills and formations with COM
mendable zeal and enthusiasm, and
there is much friendly rivalry among
those of the 10th. 18th and 10Th reg
iment to excel.
few days ago Colonel Gresham,
of the Tenth cavalry heard a report
that an automobile loaded down with
whisky beer and wine had left Win
| chester for the camp. 1t being the
| intention to distribute the liquors
| among troopers VINO naQ arranged 10
receive It, but Colonel Gresham re-
| ported the matter to Colonel Murray,
and as the automobile drew up in
| front Of the main entrance about sew
enty gallons of liquors were seized in
| the name of the government The
man in charge of the car was not ar
rested but no further attempts have
| been made to distribute intoxicants
among the soldiers. A numhr OF
offers who have been on duty else
where reported to the camp this
week. among them being Captain
| Frederick G.. Johnson, of the Third
cavalry Major Farrand Sayre, from
