BOTH CLAIM TO BE DADDY.

/ boJ II SlIhlM ~ DE- DHDD L
The Argus and the Republican,
Charlottesville papers, are both
claiming to be the originators,
inspirators, and instigators of
of the auditing. Neither is
wholly right. There is no doubt
at all but the Argus furnished
the bulk of the fuss and gush.
but it should not be so greedy as
to try to lap up all the "glory(?"
when the Republican did the
best it could under the circum-
stances. Neither of those papers
caused the auditing. To the
Twice Week Democrat that
credit is due. That is the paper
that touched the torch to the fuse
and caused the bomb to explode.
At the time the Democrat did
this, accidentally or Intentional
| ly, it doesn't matter, the auditing
was about to die natural death.
The Argus by it's inflammatory
and unfair methods of agitation
could not have accomplished its
purpose in a thousand years.
The people were becoming dis
gusted and the county court had
took a firm stand against every
proposition the Argus could offer.
There was absolutely nothing
doing And yet, strange as it
may seem, is WIS by methods
more unfair than the Argus ever
dared stoop, that the Democrat
started the auditing machinery
moving. 1t was, indeed, because
of this unfairness, that the ma
iority of the members of the
county court were moved to take
favorable action upon the matter
at the time they did.
In their signed statement pub
liShed as paid matter in the Ar
gus, Democrat and Herald at the
time, Judges Wilks and Foust
said:
ave, the undersigned Judges of the
county court of Pemiscot county. in
justice to Prosecuting Attorney J. S.
Gossom, desire 10 state 10 the citizens
of said county that the above and
foregoing instrument of writing
(this instrument of writing here re-
fered to was the stuff the Democrat
and the Republican printed and
which was refused by even the Ar
gus and was not offered the Herald)
purporting to be an order of the coun-
ty court upon Prosecuting Attorney
}. :. Gossom TO refund certain EN-
PENSES heretofore allowed him by
shiu county court, nut Is not tne ACT
of said county court r \ \ and is an
electioneering scheme against Judge
Gossom all of which acts
were without precedent and
out of the usual and ordinary way of
proceeding in county court be-
cause all the county officers have been
allowed much larger expense accounts
than Prosecuting Attorney Gossom,
and we do not think it would be
RIGHT OR FAIR to single out Judge
Gossom and make an order against
him and not against the other county
officers; because we believed at the
time we allowed Judge Gossom'S eN.

The Best Oil Cook Stoves.

We have secured the agency for one
of the best oil cook stoves and soon
will have the full line of them on dis
play, and on May 81 we will have a
special representative of the company
here to demonstrate them. Don't for
get the date, May 9th, and be on

We gained three new subscri,
berS last week and several re-.
newalS. Our subscription list is
growing right along, and, in fact,
is getting so large that we are
forced to increase our advertiS.

it was premature and said we re.
GREETED it had been ordered.
This election failed to carry.
Later, another stock law cleo
tion was ordered, but we never
saw the petition and do not know
who signed it. OF course we
can go to the city records, if ne
cessary, and publish the names
of those who signed these petit
tionS.
In neither of the above elec.
tions did we say a word about
stock law.
We did favor the hog law and
fought for it. because the laws of
the city regulating the Keeping
or hog pens were not cn'oroccd
and the herds of the nasty. stink
ing animals owned by town pco-
pie were scattering filth and de-
SiSe on every hand. But il was
the town hog and not the coun-
try hog we were after
We have always favored town
stock law of the right kind, and
we believe it should be made
misdemeanor for any person liv-
ing in the corporate limits of the
city to turn horses and mules
out upon the streets, and there
should be certain restrictions
placed upon town cows.
In other words, we are in ia
vOr of just and sane stock law,
rightly enforced, to work the
least hardship possible upon the
country people, and we have
made this statement so often
that no one should misunder-
stand US.
With all kindness and regard
for the misfortunes of others,
we must say that the greatest ct
forts against us have been made
by the more illiterate class,
some of whom cannot read.
some who never take paper of
and kind, and some who cannot
understand what they read, so
when il notice of election, Ordi-
nance or poundkeeper's mott ce is
ADVERTISED according to law,
some of these people blame US.
If, instead of going about
abusing us, these people would
come to us in a friendly way and
talk matters over, they would
find us their friend and ready
and willing to do anything we
could do for them, and that we
are only private citizen, hold no
Office and have no more to do
with the making and enforcing
of the laws than any other pri-
vatc citizen. We have only our
personal opinion and the right to
express it and the right to go to
the polls and vote in elections.

pehSe ACCOUNT tndJ III was rlgnt ana
just and we believe so now :
and if there should be an order
made it should be general order
against all the county officers and
not agains, Judge Gossom alone" "
Now. that is what changed the
course of events and caused the
thing to pop open, if you please.
1t was an attempt on the part of
the Democrats candidate for
Prosecuting Attorney in the pri-
mory year ago, his hackers and
advisers, with the Democrat aid
ing and abetting by publishing
their schemes in an effort to an
mex unto themselves the auditing
influence which it was believed
that the Argus had created, and,
at the same time, retain the
strength their organ had posi-
bly, created against the auditing.
1t was a pretty slick trick, it
matters not in whose fertile brain
it was born. 1t looked like going
some, and grabbing the natives
right and left. But it didn't
work, and even acted as a boom.
erang against it's promoters.
Judges Wilks and Foust killed
the whole thing deadcr than
door nail, and at the same time
put themselves on record as fav-
oring the auditing il the agitation
of it was to be us ld to further the
ambition Of a gang of political
trlckSterS.
The editor of the Argus, who
has furnished alone practically
the whole brass band in the aud
iting parade and TRADE, was quick
to see the advantages he had gain
ed and at his first opportunity
took avail Of it, and when at a
meeting of the county court
August 3, 1912, he presented
resolution requesting the audit
ing he naturally found a majority
of the county court in receptive
mood. The order for the audit
ing was made. When it came to
pass that those who had so siren
uouSly opposed it should them
selves take it up to use as IA vote
getter, the proposition sank to
such a low level that it was time
to remove it from politics at any
cost.
Time has rolled on. Many
events have come and passed
Among them the books have been

Finding of Greek Coin in
MOuldH dHasN0 Significance
Only Greeks that Ever Saw America Came Here
in Recent Years, Say Observation-Disclosures
Sapants Think Old Relic Found Be-
Longed to Early Explorers.

There may have been some Greeks
and Romans in America before the In
dians came along and took possession
Of the country, but you can't prove 1t
by scientists of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition. In fact, the Smithsonian peo-
pie are sure that all the Greeks that
ever saw America came here of recent
years. and most of 'em established all
night restaurants.
This line Of thought was followed at
the Smithsonian Institution yesterday.
following the publicati ton of a dispatch
from Chicago to the effect that S. W.
Laneve. of Chicago. had found in an
old Indian mound In the Mississippi
Valley near Hancock. ILL.,. a coin of
either Greek or Roman coinage, dating
back to the days of the Caesars. At
least DR.. Alfred Emerson. a noted nu-
mismatist of the Windy City. said 1t
1t was SO old that no coin like it had
ever been seen before. and estimated
the date of its mintage to be about
$50 B. c. This, he declared. brought
out the fact that white men. probably
of the Roman Empire. had been in
America before the Indians.
Charles D. Walcott, secretary of the
Institution, and F. w.
Hodge. Chief Of the Bureau Of Ameri-
can Ethnology, yesterday took issue
with the Chicago numismatist.
There is no other case on record
which would tend to support the theory
advanced by DIR. Emerson" said Mr..
Walcott. "On the other hand. numer-
Gus similar finds have been shown to
have been left by the early French and
Spanish explorers. The Smithsonian
Institution will take no notice of this
discovery, unless ii is requested to
The Washington herald., 1913-03-15

make an investigation of the matter" :"
F. W. Hodge, chief of the Bureau of
American Ethnology. and an expert in
such matters. and scientists in his bu-
reau. having made a particular study
of the Indian mounds in the Mississippi
Valley. hold the same views as Mr..
Walcott
''The coin alone would prove nothing"
he said. IF II is true that the ancient
Greeks and Romans sent expeditions to
America before the time of the Indians,
other evidences of such occupation would
have been found long ago. This is not
the first case where an ancient coin
was found in the mounds of the Missis-
sippi Valley. There have been numerous
similar cases. and not only coins. but
fintlock rifles and other belongings of
the early explorers have been dug UP.
II has been shown that all these things
belonged to the men who followed CO.
lumbus to America.
Il remember a case in South Caro-
lima, where an Egyptian scarab was
found in an old mound. II was i'm
mediately claimed that the Egyptians
had been here before the Indians. Then
1t was taken into consideration that the
territory in which the find was made was
the same as that traversed by the early
Spanish explorers under De Soto, and
'Hdt tie oPdhldius Hdd particular re-
spect for scarabs as lucky pieces.
Numerous coins have been found in
the Mississippi Valley. but all have been
shown to have belonged to the French
explorers. 1t would be surprising, in
fact. If some such find as this were
not made in digging into the mounds.
These ancient coins had pretty general
circulation in Europe as curiosities at
the time the explorers came TO America
and there is nothing surprising in their
being found here"

latest HYDROPLANE
in SUCCESSFUL flight
Washington Company Builds Machine
that Takes to Water Like
4 Duck.
F LAT HULL is USE

For half an hour yesterday afternoon
'Gyro Columbia the new hydroplane
OF the Washington Aeroplane Company,
skipped from the surface OF the Potomac
River. between the Capital City Yacht
Club and the War College, into the air
and back into the water again, much to
that had congregated on the wharf to
watch the flight
The start was to have been made at
3 O'Clock, but as the plane was being
showed of the barge a squally wind
sprang up that continued on and off for
the better part Of the afternoon and pre-
vented NJ. +. Reid, the aviator of Phila-
delphia. from taking to the water.
The new plane is the result Of the
work of several months. and her build
ers now express satisfaction at her
work. During the course of her de-
velopment one new principle of hydro
plane construction has been discovered.
1t is claimed. This is that a hull with
curving lines is impractical. For DAYS
that plane with a graceful curved hull
iabored and wallowed in the waters of
the river and steadfastly refused 10
take the air. The hull was replaced
with one whose bottom is nat and whose
lines are angular, and now she makes
a speed Of sixty miles in the water and
sixty-fve in the air. besides taking the
air like a bird. Yesterday Aviator Reid
carried a passenger for several spins
up and down the river without difficulty.
One of the spectacular stunts OF the
plane Is the way she rebounds on
alightinG on the surface of the water
after a flight The boat bounds often
to the length of twelve feet and does
not settle to the water permanently for
some little time after the first contact.

indorsed Mrs. Robert Wickliffe. widow
of Representative Wickliffe of Louis
lana. for head of the Federal Chill

to Mrs. Wicklife's candidacy. Mrs.
Clark detailed what she called list
of reasons" why Mrs. Wickliffe should
be appointed.
Mrs. Wickliffe." said the wife of the
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives. has devoted her entire life to
children. She is known as the God
mother of louisiana having stood
sponsor for some 500 little ones in her
home State.
She has the support of seventeen
States in her candidacy, and Democrats
and Republicans alike favor her ap-
poin tment.
she has shown great executive abil-
ity. 1t was she who conceived the
Dolly Madison breakfast last year. and
who did most of the work connected
with making the affair the success II
was. She is a favorite with children,
and she has made a study of them"
Mrs Wickline is making Speaker
Clark's Office her headquarters, and
number OF people are working in her
interest. She has the support OF some
seventeen State delegations and the
united support of her own State.
Democratic National Committeeman
Robert Ewing, OF Louisiana. yesterday
urged her candidacy before President
Wilson.
Some doubt is expressed that Presi-
dent Wilson will make a change at
this time in the Childrens Bureau. He
has informed number Of persons that
as a general proposition he has no in
tention Of removing Republicans be-
fore the expiration of the terms for
which they were appointed. Miss Julia
Lathrop, present head of the Children's
Bureau. was appointed by President
Taft about a year ago. and her term
has about three years to run.

of Mrs. Wickliffe to get the job. Miss
Lathrop has left the city for a ten

SORE ARMS PLENTIFUL.
Three Hundred More Navy Depart
ment Clerks Vaccinated.

Three hundred employees of the Navy
Department yesterday underwent vac
cination, and to-day will go around nurs-
ing their arms and enjoying mutual Sore
ness with the War Department clerks
who got theirs" several days ago No
new cases of smallpox were reported,
which led the secretaries to mutual con-
graduation at their heroic methods, even
though Secretary of War Garrison nursed
a sore arm himself. Secretary of the
Navy Daniels escaped inoculation be-
cause he was vaccinated about a year
ago.
Work in the two departments was
somewhat delayed. as typewriters were
manipulated slowly because of the pain
of rubbing sleeves on sore arms. and
the talk of the employees generally re-
sembled conversation in the surgical
ward of a hospital
Gauze bandages We're dispensed by the
barrel in the emergency room. and about
fifteen fights were threatened in the cor
ridors by thoushtless persons who af-
fectionately gripped the left arms Of the
"scraped'' clerks.

NO DETECTIVES WANTED.
Secret Service Flooded with Appli-
cations, and Not q Vacancy.

Treasury Department officials. driven
to despair by the flood of thousands of
applications for appointment to the Sc
cret Service, have about decided to ad-
vertise, not for men, but for no men.
Up to the close of Office hours last night
a total of 4.32l applications had been re-
ceived since March 4.
The authorities are unable to account
for this. except that it is due to fake
detective agencies and correspondence
schools which have been advertising
that they will obtain such appointments
for men of detective ability. 1t is ex-
planned that the Secret Service personnel
is permanent, is under the civil service.
and as no vacancies exist there can be
no appointments.
A great majority of the applicants ap-
parently are limited in their qualifica-
tions to a knowledge of detective work
as gained by reading dime novels. One
man sent Secretary McAdoo two 'spuri-
ous'' 10-cent pieces as evidences of his
qualifications. He declared that he dis
played rare ability by detecting them,
since many persons had believed them
genuine.
