"Out to pasture 'em."
"What for?"
"To fatten 'em."
"But it is pretty slow work to fat
ten hogs on grass; where l came from
we pen them up and fatten them on
corn. 1t saves lot of time"
"Yas, l s'pose so; but, hell, what's

A great many business men are en-

a manner as antiquated as is the fat
tening of hogs on grass.
Pork is bringing extremely fancy
prices.
Why not use corn?

Israel's Real Leader-God.
Not for moment are we to lose
sight of the fact that God had adopted
the nation of Israel and had entered
into a special Covenant with them
and that. therefore, He was their real
Leader, Moses. Joshua and others being
merely His representatives. We have
already referred to the reasons for the
adoption of Israel by the Almighty.
The New Leaders Name.
Joshua's name was originally Hoshea,
the same as that of the Prophet Hosea,
signifying salvation. To this was pre-
fixed plumbers 1910 Je, an abbrevia-
tion representing the word Jehovah
Thus the name became Jehoshua, sig
nifying Jehovah's salvation. This was
shortened to Joshua. The Greek form
Of this word Is Jesous-Jesus.
For twenty years Joshua was
the leader of Israel, faithful to God
and to the people. He not only led the
people through Jordan and directed In
the conquest of Canaan, but divided
the land amongst the tribes and gov
erned the people with great accept
ance, dying at the age of one hundred
and ten years.
Moses and Joshua were men of to-
tally different types. Any one con-
trasted with Moses would be >disadvan-
tagged. so high did that great states
man tower above the average of hui
manity, then or since. But while
Joshua could not be Moses, yet he was
faithful as follower Of Moses, as one
who obeyed the Divine Law, and
whose faith and influence were help
full to the people. He was just what
God wished him to be, and whoever is
worthy of such a testimony is truly
great.
The Land Of Promise.
That Joshua and Israel should take
forcible possession of Canaan is called
In question by some. They ask, By
what right might one branch of the
human family destroy another and
seize their land? Where is the justice
of such course?
There is but one answer to this
query; and, rightly seen, it is satisfac
tory. The Lord declares that the earth
is His, that He gave 1t to the children
of men, as represented by Adam.

because "born in sin and shapen in in
iquity." Thus all human right in the
earth was abrogated by the death sen
rence upon the sinner.

Wheeling, W.

Also, as the president disengaged himself for a moment from affairs of state and pressed the tiny electric button, bell rang before the speakers stand, there was a flash of light and the signal was simultane ous1y flashed by the pressure of the presidents fingers to the capitols of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio and West Virginia.
 There had been a dead hush in the throng that assembled before the | speakers stand, where sat Gov. H. D. Hatfield and many prominent West Virginians who are-to take part in the ceremonies. Many men held watches in their hands. Suddenly came the IluE Ol tuc UGH, llS HdTe Ol tu6 IlSUJ and the release of the pigeons and the balloons. Gov. Hatfleld's daughter, seated fin the stand, leaned forward and plucked a flower from a huge bouquet in the midst of which had appeared the light flashed by the pres ident from Washington.
 Preceding the official opening there were speeches of welcome to the visi- tors by Gov. Hatfield and others.
 Tomorrow there are to be floral pa rades and baby pageants. followed in the evening by spectacles of various sorts. On Thursday there are to be industrial military and G. A. R. pa rades.

Free Matter Carried Last Year Added $20,000,oo0 Expense to Mail Work-lnquiry Is Be-

Washington, June 16.-During the pieces of mail, having an aggregate weight of about 61,000,000 pounds, were carried by the postal service free of charge under the franks of congressman and of various govern ment establishments. If postage at the usual rates had been paid on this matter the postal revenues would have been increased by more than $20,000, 900.
 This is the official statement of the postmaster-general concerning the system of petty graft expanded into enormous aggregate that exists in the government service
 The senatorial lobby hunting com mittee unexpectedly uncovered, dur ing the week, some glaring examples of beating the government when the beet sugar lobby was found to be using the frank of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts for cir culating it's literature. One of the

 Sugar Hobbies are prodigal in their expenditures when it comes to paying agents large salaries and throwing money around in expenses" but even such reckless spenders as they are did not hesitate to play a s16,000 game of graft on the postal service. This is how it was worked:
 Senator Lodge made tariff speech in the senate and dealt with sugar duties. The beet sugar lobby, headed by Truman G. Palmer, furnished him with some charts to illustrate his points. In the course of his speech Senator Lodge asked permission of the senate to have them printed as public documents, to which no senator objected because nearly all of them have occasion to put over some print ing games of their own at times Bought Pamphlets Already Franked.
 With this entering wedge, Palmer fixed up a 63-page folio size pamphlet of pictures, charts, printed in colors and sugar tariff text. The lobby com mittee is having a struggle to find just how this expansion in printing was authorized, but that was a side issue to the bigger game of free mail distribution. The sugar lobby was willing to buy the pamphlets from the government printing office, provided

 tors to Be Heard soon.

Charleston, w. Va, June 16.- Wives and widows of the miners told their stories to the senate strike in- vostigating committee. What they have related differed in each case, but all revealed conditions of suffering and hardship in that period which the members of the senate committed now agree was actual warfare"
 The witnesses for the miners agreed that the armed mine guards caused all of the trouble. Had they keen kept out, they said, there would have been little rioting. And this is one of the chief points of the inquiry that the senators are very anxious to clear up.
 It is very likely that Senator Ken yon, who is in charge of the inquiry Into actual conditions, will not end his probe by merely listening to the testimony. Instead he probably will return here unannounced and pene- trate Paint and Cabin creeks to see things for himself.
 Typical of the entire line of testi- mony developed was the story of the widow of Cisco Estep, killed when the operators armored train fired on the strikers camp at Holly Grove. Mrs. Estep told the committee that she and her husband, with some of the boys" who had dropped in to "sing and play" during the evening. were seated in the living room of their house, a short distance from the miners camp, when the armored train came up the creek through the night.

A minute later I heard a bullet hit him and he fell. did not know he was dead until the shooting was all over and the boys called to him and he wouldn't answer"

JAPAN WOULD RENEW TREATY
Upper House Congressman Object to Renewal of Treaties Because
 of Controversies.

Washington, June 16.-Viscount Chinda, the Japanese ambassador, has advised Secretary Bryan that Japan is willing to renew for another period of five years her arbitration treaty with the United States, which expires by limitation August A.
 Secretary Bryan said he not only hoped but expected, the senate would ratify the new arbitration treaties al ready signed with Great Britain and other countries, despite the opposi- tion against them. No date for the signing of the Japanese renewal has been determined.
 The senatorial opposition which Secretary Bryan is hopeful of over coming was originally voiced by Sen ator Chamberlain, who insisted that in renewing treaty with Great Brit ain specific exceptions should be made to remove the Panama canal tolls con troversy from the field of arbitration.
 The question of arbitrating the is sue with Japan over the California alien land law. also has been sub ject of discussion among senators op- posed to renewing that arbitration treaty.
 President Wilson has had frequent conferences over the arbitration treaties with senators at the White House and at the capitol. Members of the foreign relations committee likewise have been frequent callers at Secretary Bryan's office.
 Bryan would not say upon just what representations he based his expecta- tion that the arbitration treaties would receive senatorial approval.

it could get the stamp Of Public doc ument" on them. That imprint per mitted working the franking graft.
 Lodges signature, by his permis- sion, was stamped on 320,000 large envelopes to enclose Sugar at Glance" The government printing of fee sold these pamphlets at cost; the beet sugar lobby addressed them and then they were put in the postoffice to be carried free. The regular post age on this issue would have amount ed to $16,000. The public paid it in the form of appropriations for the post office department. The beet sugar growers and manufacturers saved just that much.
 All told, during the past year the generosity of Senator Lodge saved them $22,900 in postage and cost.
 All three of the national political parties, Democratic, Republican and Progressive, worked the public docu- ment and free mail distribution scheme during the last years cam paign.
 The beet sugar lobby in Washing ton has sent out, within the past six months, 1,500,000 pieces of printed matter without paying postage. In addition to Lodges frank, they used the franks of Senator Shoot of Utah, Senator Dick of Ohio and Senator Curtis of Kansas. Both of the latter two are out of the senate now. The total saving in postage effected by this one lobby, known as the Ameri- can Beet Sugar Industry association, was $28,000 in six months.
 Democrats' Answer Mailed Free.
 Meanwhile the Democratic cham pions of free sugar have not been idle. A large amount of literature has been sent out by various persons interest ed in that cause. An answer to Lodges Sugar at a Glance" was fa- thered by the Democratic senators under the title Sugar at Second Glance" printed at the government printing office and distributed under the franks of certain leaders of the senate. The details of this will be re- vealed next week by the Investigating committee.

FREE SURVEYS IN RESERVES.

An announcement that will be glad
ly welcomed by hundreds of home
steaders within the national forests
throughout the west has just come
from Washington. to the effect that
an arrangement has been perfected
whereby metes and bounds of home
steads in the national forests can be
surveyed by officers of the forest ser
vice without expense to the entryman
The above ruling will certainly be
of financial advantage to entrymen
In this section where under the old
ruling it would cost from SIS to 500
to have a piece of land surveyed,
when the entryman needs every cent
he can rake and scrape for other
purposes. Millionaires do not prove
up homesteads.
In anticipation of this plan the
forest service has been making spe-
cial effort to have everything in read
mess by the first Of July, when the
department of agriculture appropria-
ton bill goes into effect making the
funds available. There will now be
more inducement to enter homesteads
