CERNANY'S RULER
 ALARMS FRANCE
Attempting to Germanize Patriotic Inhabitants of AlSace-LOraine, Frances Lost PrOvince-Spend-
 ing Millions on Army.

Paris, June 9.-Germany's new pol icy towards Alsace-Loraine consti- tuting the Kaiser's latest attempt to Germanize the patriotic inhabitants of Frances lost province, has aroused a storm of indignation all over France, and if we are to believe the German press, feeling of consternation also in Germany, whose peace loving citi- zens realize the danger of driving hundreds of thousands of orderly citizens to desperation simply be- cause they refuse to give up their old language and the love of the country of their ancestors.
 The new German policy inaugu- rated by the Chauvinists and mili- tarists is denounced by the whole French press in the most violent language, and this naturally has stirred up the dormant hatred of the German arch enemy in the hearts of the French people.
 The fact that not a single influ- ential member of the German Reichstag saw fit to come to the recent Berne conference added fuel to the flames of mitigation, and is still the subject of bitter comments.
 One of the leading Paris news papers writes in a recent political editorial: "If the Reichstag passes these odious laws against the peo- pie of Alsace-Loraine, who, in spite of extreme provocation, have re- trained from a single disloyal act against their oppressors, in order not to embarrass their old country, France will know that there is nothing to expect from people who allow the conqueror to violate the most sacred rights, the most elementary liberties, and she will act accordingly"
 France Is Preparing.
 The protest of the French press in Alsace-Loraine is equally sharp. One Strassburg paper of great in- fluence considers it strange that if German authorities believed that nationalism was dead in Alsace- Lorraine they should have resorted to the new laws, which makes Ger many's failure evident to the whole world Another paper is firmly convinced that it will be impossible to find in the Reichstag a majority ready to pass these even more stu pid than odious laws, and suggests that the French people are right when they assert that the attempts made for nearly half a century to annex morally Alsace have failed as lamentably as have similar methods in Danish speaking Schles- wig and in Prussian Poland.
 The Socialist press sympathizes with the patriotic inhabitants of Alsace-Loraine and openly lays the whole blame on the Kaiser per- sonally, who, during his recent vis- it to the provinces, ordered the gov ernors to adopt the new policy, which is resented by the working classes of all Germany.

LOBBY PROBE
 STILL PROCEEDS
Senator Sutherland "Fessed Up" to Being Well Loaded With Sugar StOck-Admits Influenced His
 VOte-New Pressure System

Washington, June 9.-The Sen ate's lobby hunt plunged into it's second week today. Less than a dozen senators remained to be ex- amined before the committee began calling a score or more of, men mentioned in the testimony of sena- tors as being on one side or the other of the fight.
 It was admitted that the investi- gation already had outgrown it's original bounds. It originally was intended to develop evidence con- corning the influences President Wilson charged were being brought against the tariff bill. The exten- sion of time granted by the Senate, Chairman Overmans committee eX- pected to develop all the new phases.
 President Wilson told callers to- day he expected the lobby investi- gatiOn to have beneficial results through the publicity given to con- ditions surrounding the making of the tariff bill. When asked his opinion of the charge made by Senator Townsend as to his own influence with reference to legis- lation, the president replied that it needed no comment.
 Senator Sutherland, the first witness, told the committee he owned 200 shares in the Idaho Su- gar Company, worth S785 a share, and 50 shares in the Amalgamated Sugar Company worth Sl00 a share He had no interest in wool, but de- clared he had voted and would vote for a reasonable duty on sugar and wool.
 Any other course on his part. he said, would be nothing more than 'hypocrtical affectation."
 Knew No Lobby.
 Tn a long service in the House and Senate" he added, q have never known any member of either body to be improperly influenced on any legislation, nor have 1 known of any attempt on the part of any one to exert improper influence
 Senator Reed said he had no per sonal connections affected by the tariff, did not know any lobbyist had not been subject to any at- tempts at influence and knew nothing of any use of money inn properly. He was certain, however that a new system of attempting to influence legislation had arisen in this country.
 He illustrated by telling the com mttee about the agreement of the stockmen and mule dealers in St. Louis saying please vote for a duty on sugar"
 Tt is plain to me that sugar planters were seeking to influence the men from whom they bought mules" said he. Judging from these circumstances and others, 1 believe there is a system growing up by which attempts are made to reach representatives and senators | by indirect methods. It begins through business connections and finally they find some one in the district of a representative, and through him make an appeal to the local citizens and have them send letters or telegrams applying in be- half of the people of the state. As matter of fact, it is an appeal from the people, but a selfish ap- peal. I don't think this has been confined to tariff legislation. think strong effort is being made here to affect the passage of the tariff bill or affect a modification of it. How strong if is I don't know"

no more in tented show. Alas, that in
his wintry years, disaster in his path
appearsi Of pioneers about the last, he
links the present to the past Before
our thrifty cities rose, he tracked and
fought the settlers foes and showed the
path, Ger lonely plains, to long and
creaking wagon trains; both guide and
guard, he led the van, in WIT or peace
a mighty man. With big, brave heart
and noble face, a form with tigers
strength and grace, a soul as true as
was his aim, and mind as broad as is
his fame, of all the heroes of the west,
Bill Cody is beloved the best. Oh, hero
of our boyhood daysi Oh. Bayard of the

Automobile Horns

Author of aAt Good Old SIyTnsh-D

q ONE inventions are inspired by an
gels with a friendly feeling for hui
- manity, while others are worked out
bv the devil in his leisure moments and
left around for thoughtless mortals to
grab. Most of the automobile horns
nOwi in use were thought up by the
latter.
An automobile horn Is a mechanical
insolenee by which bad manners can be
produced through a simple turn Of the
wrist Some horns are made so that
they can be operated intelligently and
politely and made to say I'm coming
in different tones to the pedestrian. But
most Of them are made so that to usa
brains in operating them would be an
entire waste. Their remarks vary from
sect out of there" to Jump lively you"
and produce about as much good feeling
among pedestrians as a fhump on the
jaw.
Automobile horns of the brainless
variety are made in six feet, nine feet
and twenty feet sizes. The sizes do not
refer to the size of the horn, but to
the distance it can make a pedestrian
Jump By means of electricity a horn
can be constructed which, when blown
one hundred feet behind an ordinary

shoes and one sock back when so doing.
This horn viii also make a quiet, peace
able lover of flowers 90 home and look

By means of the automobile horn

sleeping city after one P. NJ, leaving 8

long and three blocks wide. In this

Unfortunately there are too many blind

The electric horn has given the au-
tomobile q voice all its own It is such
a voice as might be produced by a hip
pOpOtamus, a walrus, an angry baboOn
and a pterOdaetyl all in one It is an
original contribution to the noises of
the world and cannot be mistaken for
anything else. Judging from its voice,
the automobile is fond of raw meat.
Still only this kind of voice could ex-
pres sthe feelings of a respectable auto

Frances Torment Of Blood
Just go Years Ago the People of
France Started a Movement
Which Put Royalty Out.
by Rev. ThOs. b. Gregory -

7 T WAS 299 years ago today that
the States-General of Louis XIII.
4 met at Paris. After cursing one
another most bitterly for a few days
the orders adjourned without doing
anything at aH-and there was not an
other meeting Of the States General for
rs years
For us years four kings, Louis
XIII, Louis XIV, Louis XIV. and Louis
XVI had their own sweet way with
the people of France. with none to
modest them or make them afraid-and
then came that other States-General, Of
1873, OS which all the world has heard
times without number.
For a century and three-Quarters
those four men, aided by their respec-
tive ministers. did what they pleased
to and with the 25,OOO,O00 of French
men; and then, suddenly a s the bolt
from the storm cloud, something broke
loose and the wrongs Of ages were
washed out in such a torrent Of blood
as had not been seen since the days
of Marius and Sylla-
Beats Four Kings.
Four kings is good hand, but there
is a hand that will beat even four
kings. and that hand was held by the
people when, in the shape of their rep
resentatiYes, they broke away from the
States-General of 1888, retired to the
famous tennis court declared them
swore by the eternal that they would
never separate until the constitution
of the kingdom had been established
and confirmed on solid foundations
1t was a terrible time that they had
in confirming and stablishing''
things, a time the horror of which still
haunts the worlds memory, but the
work was at last thoroughly done, and
today there is nowhere on earth
freer, happier land than France
Good Out OF Evil.
1t is a splendid instance of good
coming out OF evil Possibly it was
just as well that the four kings were
given that IT'S year rule without any
body to bother them. Without realiz-
ing it, they were opening the peoples
eyes, arousing their sense of wrong,
quickenfng their long-cOwed resOlu-
ton and so fitting them for the great
work that was to be laid out for them
in 17S9-93-work that was to free
France from despotic rule, and, indi-
-ectly, inaugurate the democracy which
is eventually to make every people
