ing trip in fine condition, while two of Allen'se were riding and Johnson was compelled to haul four of his ia vorites home.
 The dispatch states that Dalezene covered the distance in 75 hours and 42 minutes lapsed time-26 minutes longer than the record established by Johnson in 1910. This is undoubtedly an error of one hour. According to Jack Underwood the record time made by Johnson is "A hours and IA minutes which would still leave discrepancy of ? minutes which dog fans can argue over.
 Fay Delezene, the winner of the race is one of the real old sourdoughs of the country, having gone to Nome in '99 from the Yukon. He has enter ed nearly every sweepstake race since the Kennel Club inaugurated the big sport and has never before been in the money at the finish though he has come near winning third place. That he has persevered until sue cessful is characteristic of the man who is a high type Alaskan.
 The dog fever is contagious alright and Juneau has had bad case ever since the Nome delegation arrived in town. When the subject of getting up a Sweepstakes ball was broached Juneau took to the idea right off the reel and carried the thing through to great success. The Empire has been besieged for news from the time that it was known that the dogs were off and has furnished bulletins as fast as any were received. The Nome people here, including the members of the legislature have been fairly consumed with anxiety until the re. suit was announced.

 WASHINGTON, April 15.- It is said in official circles at the National capital that the administration would welcome a decision by the United States Supreme Court as 10 the eligi' bility of Japanese to become citizens of the United States, and that 1t would like that a test case be pre- sented to that tribunal.
 Japanese diplomatic representatives have protested at more or less regu' lar intervals for many years because the United States permit citizens Of European countries to become natur- alized but refuse to allow Orientals the same privilege. They have pro- tested to President Woodrow Wilson that it is humiliatinS to the Japanese that citizens of their country are dis criminating against in this way, and that the attitude of the United States is, seemingly, that they are Of an in- ferior race.

NOME, April 14,-Fay Delezene, who won the great Nome dog race, covered the distance in seventy-five hours and AZ minutes, actual elapsed hours and 42 minutes, actual elapsed time. This is 26 minutes behind the two hours, and Allen five hours.
 Allen returned with two dogs on the sled. Johnson had :pur riding. Dele zene's dogs were all in fine shape at the finish.
 Delezene passed Allen between Ha- ven and Gold Run going out. Coming back both rested together at Haven. and started from there nearly togeth' CT, but Delezene soon took the lead and held it all the way to Nome.
 Johnson left Candle four hours be- fore Delezene, but Delezene caught him between Topkok and Solomon, on the way home, and remained in the lead from that time until the finish.
 Illayok lost a dog, and was delayed.
 Delezene rested 26 hours and 97 minutes. His actual running time was 49 hours, five minute. and 27 seconds.
 All things considered it wasone of the most exciting races ever run at Nome
 The above dispatch arrived too late last night for publication. It tells the story of Delezene's victory-dog value plus staying qualities of the driver. There is no question of the staying qualities of any of the driv- CTS in this great contest but there happened to be a difference in dogs Daleaene undoubtedly had the super for team as they demonstrated all through the course their ability to go without injury to themselves, ar irving at Nome at the end of the grill

"Levi Jones Walking From
Columbia TO Oklahoma"

F you will read two pages of this little book,
you won't lay it down until you have
finished it.
A plain, simple story Of trip, on foot,
from Columbia, South Carolina, to Okla
homa City, it interests you immensely, as
every truthful human document does
David Copperfeld's fictitious tramp from
London to Dover, in search of his Aunt, is
not more genuinely good reading than this
veraclous narrative of the tramp of Levi
Jones through Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana,
Arkansas and Mississippi
The very artlessness of the story is it's
charm; and as you see the voluntary vagrant
bump up against the hard places and the
hard people, camping under trees and in
empty shaclls tramping in the cold wind and
rain of winter, cheered by many a kind deed
of the people who have soft hearts, sharing
his scanty food with his faithful dog, and
persevering until he limps into Oklahoma
City in February 1911, after having been on
the road since October 1910-as you follow
him In his ups and downs, his hunger and
cold, you feel that you are sympathizing
with right manly fellow, who has lots of
horse sense, courage, and correct notions
about men and things.
The price of the booklet (of 81 pages) is
% cents. | hope you will buy one. Mr.
Jones is GA years old, and is a poor man.
Address him Columbia, South Carolina
| hope that this voluntary notice of his
journey and his book will bring him many
orders.

Your favor received
When [ was in Congress, and for several
years before and afterwards, [ devoted many
years of intense study to the financial question.
/ he more | looked into the matter, the deeper
was my conviction that the views of Thomas
Jefferson, John c.. Calhoun and Peter Cooper
were absolutely sound.
Let me suggest that you read carefully the
letters of Mr.. Jefferson as they appear In his
collective works in the Congressional Library,
especially those to his son-in-law, John w.
Eppes
Mr.. Calhoun's speeches on finance you will,
of course, find in the Congressional Library
ALSO
The views Of Peter Cooper are set forth
in the old Greenback Platform and In the
platforms of the Populist Party of the COS
No system of national finance can be sound
and conducive to general prosperity, wherein
the sovereign power to create money IS sur
rendered to private corporations.
Our national bank system is far more
destructive to the true interests of our Repub-
lie than was the National Bank upon which
Andrew Jackson made his great fight. (By
the way if you will read his State papers
against the bank, and that portion of his
Farewell address which deals with the money
power, I think you will be surprised at the
familiar sound of his fulminations)
Under the Acts of 1923 this Government
even now has the authority to issue $1OO,OOO-
600 in greenbacks; those Acts of Congress
should be so extended that the Treasury notes
of the United States shall take the place of
every bank-note now in circulation
1t has always been a royal governmental
function to issue and control the Nations
money; never, until a greedy courtesan in
the pay of London capitalists had wheedled
her royal lover Charles II, into partial sur
render of the sovereign power to create
money-did any private person or corpora
ton exercise that supreme power, save in the
times of fuedal anarchy, when every baron,
entrenched In his castle, was king of his own
domains.
No relief can be found in allowing the
bankers additional privileges to monetize
their assets at the expense of those millions
of unprivileged people who have to pay
tribute in the way of compound interest, to
those modern feudal lords Who entrenched in
their castles of Special Privilege, create and
control the money of the country.
Whoever creates and controls the money,
rules the markets and rules the people.
Should not the Government do that?
Should not the Government govern?
Shall the Government continue to abdicate
IN favor OF, the National Banks one of it's
supreme sovereign powers?

Those of us who are fighting the encroach-
ments of the Rom&nists, foresaw that they
might suppress the damning evidence of the
fruits of their system in the Philippines,
just as they have suppressed SO many books,
and pamphlets, and living witnesses.
Therefore, the precaution was taken of
publishing supply from the original copy,
and putting the proofs where they would
always be accessible.
In Watson's Magazine for April and May,
very full selection was made of the more
important facts of the testimony
