Nobody but God.


When Representative Mann, Repub-
lican floor leader, rose to object to a
certain Democratic bill he remarked
that his opponents had forgotten their
pledges. Their performance, he said,
reminded him of a little boy who
memorized an inspiring poem to be
delivered at some public exercises
given In the town school.
Nobody knows but God and me-"
began the little boy, advancing boldly
down the stage.
Then he repeated:
Nobody knows but God and me-"
Again there came a pause, and
squirming, the boy screamed:
Nobody knows but God and me-"
1t was the first tragedy of his young
life. He faced disaster, stark, inn
mutable and grim, and he yelled:

STRIKE PROBABLE
At RUMELy PLANT
Demand For Increase Of
Wages From $3.15 a Day
to $3.50 Made.

The Moulders at Rumely's probably
will strike by the end of the week
unless their demand for an increase
in wages is answered
Ben Engelbert, superintendent in
the molding section. when asked
whether there was any truth in the
report. said: There is absolutely
nothing in it. The men did say some
thing about wanting a raise in wages,
but they did not strike for it. Who
ever has been circulating such ru-
NOR has been telling a falsehood.
On the contrary, when some of the
moulders were asked about the mat
ter, they made a different statement.
One of them said: 1T is very prob
able that there will be a strike on by
the end of the week unless we are
given the raise in wages we are ask
for We are now receiving S315 a
day, and We demand 50 so. If there
is a strike. we will go out together
and all demand the raise"
A strike would affect about fifty
men.

STORING q Loan.

A Memphis character well known
about town as brilliant, but booty, was
persistent in his applications for loans
and extremely careless about repaying
them. Several years ago this man had
induced a local bank to loan him $40
and had given his note therefor. At the
end of each three months he invariably
appeared and asked that the note be
renewed, and as there was nothing else
to do the bank always renewed it. One
day he went into the bank and said to
the cashier:
I'D like to renew that paper of mine
you have here"
Certainly" replied the cashier. "Tll
fix it up for you"
The cashier made the proper prepa-
rations for the renewal, and as he was
fixing up the paper he said:
Say, the directors were talking about
this paper of yours the other day.
They decided they wouldn't charge you
interest on it any longer"
That's very considerate Of them,
was the reply. 81 am glad to hear it. ]
am under obligations to them"
No continued the cashier. We're
not going to charge you interest: we're
going to charge you storage!'-Satur.

Memorial Has Been Sent to
Congress From Northern
Territory Indians Re-
ceive Most Attention.
BY JONATHAN WINFIELD.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The incli
nation of the American people to ex.
tend their educational system in spite
of any obstacle which may arise, If
evidenced in the action Of the Legis
lature of the Territory of Alaska in
memorializing Congress for the es'
Establishment of a school board in that
sub-Arctic region.
The petition recites that of the forty
thousand mixed inhabitants of Alas
ka, three thousand attend school but
that, no supervisory board to oversee
this education movement has been es
tablished. There are forty-twO white
public schools in Alaska but many OF
them are carried on under difficulties
and their existence is due largely &c
the enterprise and progressiveness OF
the citizens rather than to any govern
mental aid.
More Aid For Whites.
In view of the fact that the United
States government appropriates an
nually millions of dollars for the edu
cation of the Indians, the people OF
Alaska believe that more aid should
be given them for the education OF
white children. Experts are provided
| by the government for the supervis
ion of the education of the Indians, but
so far, little has been done in Alaska
| for the establishment of solid schoo
/ system.
The Territorial Legislature in it's
memorial to Congress, asks that the
| board of education for Alaska be made
| up of the Governor of the Territory
the Secretary and Treasurer and Of
two superintendent of schools to be
appointed The board is to have the
! right, the memorial prays, to grant Ger
tificates to teachers and diplomas t
students. 1t Is provided, however, thai
normal school and state certificates
from any of the United States will be
given full faith and credit in Alaska
and will be accepted as satisfactory ev
idence of the fitness of the holder o.
such to instruct in Alaskan educationa
institutions.
A peculiar feature of the examina
ton prescribed for would-be teachers
in Alaskan schools deals with hygiene
Applicants for positions will be exam
ined with special reference to the ma
ture and effects of alcoholic drinks ant
other narcotics and stimulants upor

ply, history, literature and similar ma
jor subjects will be contained in the
examination.

NJ. TH|STLETHWAITE
TALKS ON MULHALL
Regards the Lobbyist AS &
Crook-Wilson and Mar
shall Friendly.

"The relations between Vice Presi-
dent Marshall and President Wilson
are just as pleasant and just as cord
aI now as they ever were" declared
Mark Thistlethwaite, secretary of Mr..
Marshall, today, 'and | have heard OF
no report that they were otherwise.
Mr.. Thistlethwaite has been away
from Washington for two weeks and
this morning arrived to be present at
the wedding of his sister, which took
place late this afternoon at the fami-
ly home on North Eleventh street.
"The only thing l can think of
which might have caused the report
to be circulated he continued, "are
the speeches the vice president made
before the National Democratic club
meeting, in New York city. There
Mr.. Marshall denounced the methods
used by wealthy capitalists and the
men who depended upon Washington
LEGISLATORS for their wealth. The
speech was warning to the rich.
''The New York papers demanded,
editorially, that Mr.. Wilson reprove
the vice president for his 'slanderous'
remarks, which were characterized as
socialistic in nature. Mr.. Wilson new
er thought the occasion worthy of cen
sure that | know of.

"Mr. Marshall continues to be fire.
quent visitor at the White House, and
has many business and social talks
with the president, who holds him in
high regard, so the editorials Of the
New York newspapers had no effect
upon Mr.. Wilson, | believe.
What about the Mulhall case?"
Thistlethwaite was asked.
"Mulhall tried to blackmail his en-
ployers in the National Association of
Manufacturers, l believe and, when he
failed, brought his documentary evil
dence to Washington with the purpose
of getting revenge" he replied. His
business shows the Interviewing of
politics. He was slick, shrewd and I'M
scrupulous and think the people hold
him in the same estimation l do, that
he is a slanderer and a self-confessed
crook.
HE would never have saved those
letters and communications of bust
ness through all those years had he
not intended to sooner or later bring
about just what he has done, or black
mail his employers. The people, l be-
lieve, hold him in utter contempt and
he is and will remain a social outcast
during his life.
However, the Mulhall business will
be not without a very good result. 1t
will draw closer the relations between
the Congressman and the people. The
country has right to know how Con-
gress conducts it's business, and the
time has come when a man living in
the west cannot pack his grip, come to
Washington, take a suite of rooms at
the Willard and call in a number of
legislators whom he will try to influ-
ence regarding matters under the con-
Si1aratipn of Con-roSs

pilot ENDS JOURNEY "A NEW WATER MAIN
For Southwest Fourth Street
Ordered.

A 1900 foot water main will be con-
structed in Southwest Fourth street
within a short time, according to an
agreement entered into by the Board
of Works and the water works COM
pany this morning. In order to secure
the main, which is much needed, the
city agreed to rent two fire hydrants
on the street each at $40 per year.
The right of the water works COM
pany to make this stipulation in lay
ing new mains was questioned by City
Attorney Bond. In the absence of any
ruling of the public utilities commits
sion, the water works company takes
the stand that the charge is legiti-
mate as the former contract between
the city and the company is in force.
The contract for the construction of
the new light plant building was en-
tered into with William F. Hendrix.
The building is to be completed by
October l and will cost 81 ,248. Much
of the machinery for the plant extern
ton has been installed.
The residents of West Richmond
threatened to desert certain West
Richmond streets unless the city
makes provisions for carrying the sew
age from the river bank above into
the river, instead of allowing the ter
minals to end on level with the
streets. They say that the stencil is
unbearable at times. The city engi-
neer was requested to prepare an esti-
mate on the cost of extending the
pipes down the bank.
Clayton Hunt, who was committee
man interested in the removal of the
tracks from Glen Miller park, asked
the board this morning to fill the cut
left by the interurban company should
it interfere with the plans of the park
committee tot beautify the Glen. This
was agreed to.
