THE BIG HOWE AUTO FIRE ENGINE IN ACTION.
AUTO FIRE ENGINE
SOON TO ARRIVE
Shipped From Factory Last Friday, After
Several Trying Tests Of Efficiency.
May Be Here Today.

A letter to the editors of The Pleas
antville Press from the Howe Engine
Company states that they have ship
ped the auto fire engine for Pleas
antville, after giving it some very Sc
we're and very satisfactory tests before
committees from number of sur
rounding towns that are going to buy
similar machines in the near future.
This machine is what is known as
a Triple Combination Automobile Fire
Engine. 1t carries hose body,
pumping engine, an equipment of lad
ders, and chemical tank. At test
made of Pleasantville's machine it
threw one stream considerably over
200 feet horizontally and about 140
feet high, and two streams nearly as
far, and three streams higher than a
fve-story building.
On a run recently made with a SINH
lar machine in central Illinois, they
took 10 men and 1000 feet of hose up
a hill nearly mile long and where
part of the grade was so per cent. At
a point on the hill where an ordinary
sliding gear transmission machine
would have been stalled and had to
unload, the driver merely set his fric-
tion transmission back a notch and
went right up without the least trou-
BILE.
The machine should arrive bv the
middle of this week as the railroad
men promised five days delivery,
and it left Indianapolis last Friday.

Editor,
well, l Swami A new post
master for Baltimore at last.

In order that arrangements can De
made for the big State campaigns
this year and that general party
policies and questions may be dis
cussed, Democratic leaders OF the
counties and Baltimore City are sug-
costing that a conference be held IN
Baltimore within the next few weeks.
To this conference it is proposed
that all the party leaders, together
with the members of the State Cen
trail Committee, should be invited.
In the past it was customary Tor the
party leaders to gather weeks IN adj
vance of primary election or State
convention and ascertain general
conditions throughout the State and
also to discuss plans for the good
of the party. The time is fast APP
proaching. many Democrats believe
when such a conference should be
held. not with the purpose OF arous-
ing a faetional fight or in behalf OF
any special candidate or candidates
but for the object of bringing Dem
ocratic leaders and workers together
so that they can get good idea OF
conditions throughout the State.
At this conference the Democrats
could also agree upon date Tor
the primaries. Those who are ad-
vocating the conference will call
upon Chairman Murray Nandiver,
Of the State Central Committee
within the next few days and give
him their views on the proposition.
1t is believed that it will meet with
Vandiver's approval and, unless
some unforeseen opposition should
develop, the probabilities are that
the conference will be hcld.-Tele-
gram.

To the Shippers of st. Mary's Co.
We hardly deem it necessary to
deny that we are the parties referred
to by J. b. Abel in his COM
unicaton as published in st. Mary's
Beacon recently. Those of our
friends who have favored us by ship
ing to us know that we always have
given every cent due them and we
always will. We have built up our
business by playing fair with all
parties and our reputation both at
home and abroad speaks for itself
If you have shipped to us before,
you knows by our returns that you
are getting all due you, if you have
not shipped us yet, do so, then COM
pare our returns with those you have
previous received and the old adge.
THE proof Of the pudding is
chewing the string" will again be
proven. We feel justified in
making the assertion that the words
of praise spoken for us by our
friends are fully warranted by the
results obtained during the last four
years.
Yours very truly,
CRovo d PRICE.

Farming More Pleasant

One Of the cheerful indications Of
the times is the rapid introduction Of
home convcnicnces 20 make country
life satisfying. wholesome and inter
csting Many comforts enjoyed by
city people like the water in the
home, gas and electricity, up-to-date
heating appliances, are still unsup-
piled in country homes; yet these
things are coming And when pro-
yided. these things will make the
country home even more comfortable
than the city home. Farm water
systems carrying water to all parts
of the house and barn, supplying
the bathroom and making the prob
lem Of sewage disposal easy. have
been introduced into the country and
the experiment has been found both
inexpensive and desirable
Gasoline engines, windmilIs, mo-
tors, farm tools and machines are
now available for all farm purposes;
and these are being improved and
made better, thus furnishing the
maximum efficiency at least cost.
The greatest neglect, if any, has
been in the house. But woman Is
now to have her inning. The small
gasoline engine now furnishes the
power, operating the washing ma
chine, the churn. the ironing machine
The cost is little and the results
more than satisfactory.
After all, it is the addition of
these conveniences that adds to the
JOY Of country living, as well as the
larger profits in the activities Of the
farm. AS farmers we are not simp-
~ to make more money to buy more
land to make more crops, as the old
saying goes; we want to make money
not simply to save, but to spend and |
to enjoy To save n little and to
buy what you need and want is a |
blessing.
1t is true we can do without many |
desirable things, but when mechan-
cal devices have been developed for
the farmers use, and If they lessen
his tolls and labors, why not take
them up? We can continue to
draw water from the well without
the pump; we can also continue to
harvest wheat with the cradle. to
plant our corn with the hoe, or
thresh our grain with the fail. We
can use these old methods, but we
do not and will not; and why should |
we? They have been replaced by |
improved equipments and machines.
The manufacture of these various
mechanical devices has become
vast business, giving employment
to hundreds of thousands of men; and
the demand for them is constantly |
increasing. They are a powerful
argument for the betterment Of
country life and the making of the
farm a pleasant abode for all class
es.

NOME, ALASKA, JULY 8, 1913.

Heaven hath no rage like love tu hatred turned says the poet, whoever he was, and Bulgaria and Scrvia and Greece are proving once again that the phrase was Il nifty one.
 During the recent war ir."ec.i Turkey and the Balkan states the world was told that it was Il war of freedom waged by outraged Chris tian states against the unspeakable iniidel and for the liberation of op- pressed Macedonia and other provin- ces of the Turkish empire. Then came the defeat of Turkey shd the pious Christian nations, of course, im- mediately proved their unselfishness by liberating the oppressed and going home peacefully. happy in the thought that they had sacrificed lives and money for no other purpose than to place the cross where the crescent Ina : hoated. Bulgaria did not at, .np: .c take the conquered territories her self and Greece and Servia were quite satisfied with what they had got Oh, no. there WAS no trouble between these champions of christlandom and no war. They just wanted to bring freedom to others just us all nations who go to war do 1t for the greater honor and glory of God and man.

The fact that William B. Wilson, the secretary of labor, spent a night in jail is beng capitalized by the Hearst papers with the usual delight of those whom they can expect nothing. Will son was arrested on the charge of aid ing labor men and there seems to be very little reason why he should have hidden the fact especially since he was not later tried and found guilty of the unlawful assembly and con spiracy which ostensibly caused his arrest.
 It would be wrong to say that Mir. Wilson has become so respectable that the thought of being handled by n common cop Is one that should be hidden in his bosom. John Burns, d member of the cabinet of the British government has also been In jail In has always rather boasted of the fact although one should remember In this respect that a man often makes a virtue of necessity and Burns might have been just as mum as Wilson about past exploits of the vagging na ture if he had not been actually found guilty and If the matter had not be- come 70 public that there was no chance to hide 1t
 Labor men who rise on the shoul- ders of tho real workers become in formally respectable when they rise beyond their former callings. Like all people who rise they feel the neces- sity of cloaking every circumstance which could suggest that their actions were due to the humble station In which they had once muddled along Or that they were due to the i'll breed ing which some people in society be- live to be the attribute of ali who were not born to the purple.
 It would not be fair to say without knowing that Mir. Wilson now poses as an intellectual leader of labor and would scorn the idea that he had ever sunk into the turmoil of labor strife but he would create much better i'm precision if he had come out at first with the manyI statement that he had been In jail and that he was not ash amed of 1t.

of the Clayton -Buiwer treaty oi 1s60.'
 "The Hay-Pauncefote treaty con- tains five articles. and the very first article internationally abrogates the treaty of 1850.
 Prom the standpoint of abstract justice the contention of Great Brit ain that she should be put on the same footing as respects the use and en- joyment Of the Panama eanal. as the United States4~seemss presumptuous. The restriction which she invokes against the sovereign right of the United States to enact legislation af- fecting its internal affairs must ap- pear in express language in the Hay Pauncefote treaty.
 No mere implication or argumen- tative deduction will suffice. And If we adopt the rule Lord Clarendon ap- piled against the United States in con strulng the Clayton Bulwer treaty in the case of the Mosquito Indians. to the effect that the true construction of treaty must be deducted from the literary meaning of the e<%ords cm- ployed In the framirfg.,.sF will be hard, indeed, for Great Britain to prove her Claims."-Ex
