JOHN BULLS
LATEST MOVE
Plans to Establish Big Naval
Base Near United States
Coast.
Is ON BERMUDA ISLANDS.
American Authorities See in It
Danger to the Monroe
Doctrine.
Is ON BERMUDA ISLANDS.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Keen inter-
est has been aroused in official cir
cles here by a report, reaching the
state department that Great Britain
is contemplating establishing a great
naval base in the Bermuda Islands.
1t is authoritatively stated that the
British government has made in
quiry concerning the plans Of the
United States for protection of the
Panama canal routes, and it has been
suggested that this indicates an in
tention to safeguard British ship
ping through the isthmus as is done
in the Mediterranean.
Officials realize that the problem
raised is a tremendous one, involv'
ing as it may the very life of the
Monroe doctrine and marking, per
haps, q complete revolution in for
eign naval policy in the western
hemisphere. For it is expected thai
if Great Britain changes her nava
policy in American Atlantic waters
other European nations probably
will follow suit. Officials likewise
realize that with the opening of thu
canal, the United States must con
tend with Japan for domination O.
the Pacific.
The British royal navy abandoned
its naval stations in this country
about ten years ago when the Unit
ed States gave up the idea of the
construction of the Nicaraguan can
al and set about digging the big
waterway across Panama.
If Great Britain undertakes to es
tablish herself in Atlantic waters
however. the proposed Bermuda sta
ton, near Hamilton. would occupy
formidable position.

PENNSYLVANIA MAN
Out OF Prison and Into Matri-
m0Ily.

Rev. A. r. Kasey officiated at a
very quiet wedding at the Metho-
dist parsonage last Friday after
noon. The principals were Mrs.
Geo. w. Damn, formerly Of Madi-
sonville, and MIR. Geo. D. Wander
grift, Of Pennsylvania. and the wit
nesses were Mrs. E. P. Fears and
Mr.. w. F. Snyder. Friday night
the bride and groom went to Chica-
go, where they will make their fu--
ture home.
The groom, under the name Of
Montgomery, was convicted in the
Christian Circuit Court about two
years ago of forgery and was sent 20
the prison at Eddyvile for a short.
term. He was unusually intelligent
and received the kindest treatment
from the officials. He is said to be-
lung to a prominent Pennsylvania
family and while in this vicinity went
broke, which caused him to commit
the crime of which he was convicted.
While in prison he became acquaint-
ed with the night telephone opera
10. at Eddyville. This acquaintance
grew into love, and when Wander
grift was released on a parole they
came here to be married.

abuse of the present Democratic ad-

the wards failed to approve of this
style of campaigning. The contests
resulted as follows:

What was he going to do with tho mayor

in such a fluid state that Mahan didn't

principles of the fathers as mayor except
himself
This being thus" suggested a friend.

It listened good to Mahan. He looked
up the law and found that while 1t was
forbidden to hold two federal jobs at the
same time, nobody was enjoined against
mixing federal. state and local offices to
suit. provided he could get them. So
Mahan stuck.
Now he "week-ends'' at New London.

time he spends in Washington legislating

Mahan's salary as mayor Is only 81, 900

total up nearly that much in the course Of
a twelvemonth. 1t may be assumed that
he is either plugging for glory or i'm

1t. In his youth he was offered an OPP
portunity to obtain a college education,
but he declined. saying that he preferred
to devote his time to his farm. So he
went to work and farmed right up to the
minute that it became necessary for him
to come to Congress. Furthermore, he
will farm some more, whenever Congress
adjourns.
There were those people IN his district
who were politically opposed to him that
thought 1t would be q fine scheme to ex-
pose the fact that he drove mule around
home. and they spread this scandal far
and wide.
After the story had been going the
rounds for two or three weeks Baltz
was called on one night down at Belle
Vile to make his first political speech.
He was mighty nervous when he rose to
his feet, but he started out talking ABOUT
his farm and his mule, and somehow pup
Tic speaking just came natural to MIN.
Some of my political opponents say say
1 drive a mule! He's a good mule. too.
I don't suppose there's a better mule IN
southern Illinois. I'm not ashamed OF
that mule, and I'm not ashamed that m
a farmer, either. Some folks try to pc
little me by saying that l wear hickory
SHIFT. You bet wear one! I'm NOT
ashamed of that, either. I'm farmer
and I'm an honest one. and II you seno
me to WASHINGTON. I'll be an honest con-
gressInans too!'
The speech made a hit with the au.
dience and the newspapers said tnat -
was one of the best that had been deIy-
cred during the campaign. Encouraseu'
Baltz started out on a whirlwind cam.
paign that lasted eight weeks and sent
him to Congress. He didn't drive the
mule, for his daughter, Miss Katie, ac' gu
as chauffeur Of his automobile. But ne
would not have been ashamed 10 ori'e

"All effort. whether men,

fines labor as: IAN effort. whether men
tai or physical"
brings to mind the collateral labor aues--
tons OF labor union protests and strikes.
There Is tendency among 1atter-day
philosophers to prophesy all manner OF
evil to come to mankind by the way of
labor unions and their troubles. both
among themselves and with others, ana
to hold forth these troubles as q proof
of human decaderce. peculiar only to this
degenerate age.
In this connection. while the. early his
tory of Rome and the tribulations OF the
workman OF that day show that labor
troubles have always been with US, there
is a most interesting passage In the Acts
Of the Apostles, which, when read with
an eye to modern labor dissensions. shows
that mankind has not varied one whit In
his striving for what he considers the
fruits of his labor since the days OF St
Paul.
Paul. together with other apostles.
went up i'm the Ephesus country. seeking
converts TO the Christian faith. Now
Ephesus was the favorite city OF Diana.
or ArtemiS, as she was also called. Here
was her famous temple; here WAS her
famous statue, said by the priests to have
fallen from heaven. Thither every year
came pilgrims by the tens of thousands
to worship at the shrine OF the tutelary
deity-and here a goodly number Of sfi-
versmiths found their calling a most ig-
cratiye one. For. there being no photo
graphs nor postal cards, these pilgrim =

who made silver models OF the shrine OF
Artemis CDianal. and SO gave great
men together, as Well as the wofknen
engaged in similar occupations. and said:
Men. you know that our prosperity de-
ponds upon this work. and you See and
hear that, not only in Ephesus. but In al
most the whole OF Roman Asia, this Pau
has convinced and won over great num-
beers of people by his assertion that those
rods which are made by hands are not
gods at ALL so that not only is this bust
ness of ours likely to fall into discredit.
but there is the further danger that the
temple Of the great goddess. Artemis
Diana). will be thought nothing of. and
splendor, though all Roman Asia and the
whole world worship her.
.When they heard this the men were
greatly enraged and began shouting:
Great Is Artemis Of the Ephesians! The
commotion spread through the whole city,
and the people rushed with one accord
into the theater. dragging with them the
companions of Paul.
Certainly there cannot be found I'm any
modern newspaper more perfect ac-
count Of a sympathetic strike and a labor
riot. And that was two thousand years
ago.
