Since the Sun rules persons who

three years ago today. She was far
from beautiful, but, says her biogra-
pher, her fortitude, her spirit of JUS
tice and her penetrating insight and
her generosity more than made up
for her lack of personal beauty. More
than that, she was versed in Latin
and Greek and knew more mathemat-

taught her In short, she was one of
the most accomplished women of her
day. OF course, her lack of beauty,
considering the importance of her

TWO SLAIN IN KEN
TUCKY STREET DUEL

FRANKLIN, KY, April 23.-Two
men are dead, one was fatally wound
ed and three others were more or less
seriously hurt as the result of pistol
duel that took place in the streets of
this city late Monday. Judge John II.

Taylor, son of William, was fatally
wounded.
1t is said an ALLEGATION arose be-
tween young Taylor and Sheriff Cos
eett at street fair. The sheriff
ordered young Taylor off the grounds,
but some time later Taylor, accom-
panied by his father, came back. The
alteration was renewed and the elder
Taylor and the sheriff opened fire.
William Taylor fell, pierced by six
bullets. Young Taylor then opened
fire with two automatic revolvers, but
Gossett escaped uninjured.

BULLDOGS IN ADVERTISING.

This is an age of sincere advertis-
ing. The hard hitters,' the bull
dogs" the business getters" of an
advertising staff are crew of force
full young men, drawing pay of from
$4,000 to $4,000 year, who size up
the products of an age and then tell
about them in swift, compelling words.
They let the country clergyman know
that there is a meritorious safety ra-
zor for the patient face, and they
inform the city clerk of transporta-
ton to the sea or the far hills where
he can regain health. When they like
book or a periodical or kitchen
ware they get behind it with all their
rich enthusiasm and make the author
or the inventor widely known through
out the nation. They strengthen the
blow of a reformer and widen the
range of a poet. With their breezy
man talk they gain the ear of any
group. And because they are sincere
they hold the attention while they
proceed with their story. And what
they said being true, they are per-
mitted to call again and say still more
in praise of the same product, or shift
over from pickle to building loan
and repeat their thrills and sales.
They create pickaninny characters
around dreary impersonal slab of
kitchen cleaner and raise phantoms
of delight with the baking powder
and the yeast of their sales list. What
the man of letters rejects the adver-
tiser accepts, and from it wrings a
blessing. He faces modern life, its
inventions, its household devices, its
drudgeries, and he releases his play
full imagination upon that sober world
of trafficking and touches it to ex-

With the exception of that veteran
of the north-Admiral Robert E. Pea
ry-these is no one living better
equipped for work of this character
than Captain Amundsen. From 1897
to 1899 he was in the antarctic as
mate of the Belgica, the ship of the
de Gerlache expedition which brought
back from the extreme south scientific
collections of unique value. In 1901
and 1902 he was engaged in investi-
eating ice navigation and in making
deep water observations around Spitz-
bergen and Greenland. On the 18th
of June, 1908, he left Christiana in
the little sloop Gjoa to attempt the
northwest passage and incidentally to
relocate the north magnetic pole
Amundsen first proceeded to King
Williams land where two years were
spent in very careful magnetic and
observations and trips
made to the north magnetic pole which
was successfully "rediscovered." Then
he worked his way through the Bering
strait and on the 30th of August, 1906.
reached the Pacific coast, being the
first man to sail from the Atlantic
ocean around the north coast of Amer
lea. OF his brilliant work at the south
pole it is not necessary to speak.
Throughout his entire career Captain
Amundsen has enjoyed the cordial
support and complete confidence of
his fellow countrymen and he has re
ceived from the Norwegian people f.
nancial assistance which can only be
described as more than generous when
the resources of that by no means
wealthy country are taken into con-

SCIENTIFIC RESULTS OF THE
WAR IN THE BALkA

In the Bulletin of the American
Geographical Society Leon Dominian
calls attention to the rich field of in
vestigation that will be opened up by
the passing out of Ottoman control
Of large section of the Balkan pc
ninsula. Nearly every square mile
of the territory in question needs map
ping, and it is besides a practically
virgin field for geological, ethnologi-
cal land historical research. To judge
from the cartographical work hereto
fore done in Bulgaria by the Military
Cartographical institute, at Sofia, we
may expect excellent map work in
whatever territory that country may
acquire from Turkey. Whatever may
be the merits of the quarrel between
Turkey and the allies, it is notorious
that science and exploration do not
flourish under the Crescent, whereas
the other Balkan states are at least
in sympathy with modern ideals in
these fields, so that the outcome of
the war, up to date, is fortunate from
scientific standpoint. Just to mem
tion one point Of contrast: Bulgaria,
Servia and Greece all possess official
meteorological services, with networks
of stations whose observations fur
nish the material for compiling eli
matte statistics Of those countries.
Turkey has nothing of the sort, and
what little information we have Of
her climate has not been gathered by
Turks.

LEGISLATION
HELD Up
United Press

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 23.-
President Wilson this morning tele-
graphed to Governor johnson and the
Legislative leaders of California ask
ing whether it would be acceptable to
them to have Secretary of State
Bryan visit Sacramento to counsel
with the leaders and cooperate in
framing an anti-alien law to meet
the views of the California people and
still not interfere with existing trea-
ties between the United States and
Japan.
The president thinks the issues too
grave to permit him to view the ques-
ton from the distance longer.
The White house emphatically denied
that Japan had even suggested war
threat. Secretary Tumulty declared
baseless the rumors that Ambassador
Chinda told President Wilson that ia
pan could not control her people and
would be forced into war if the
California bills passed. The Japanese
embassy depreciates the stories of
Chinda and authorized the statement
that Japan would not attempt hostili-
ties even though California passed a
law aimed exclusively at the Japa-
nese.
