GENERAL sICKLES.

The Irish World" of New York
gives the following account of Gener-
al Sickles, whose funeral services
were conducted from st. Patrick g
Church last week and who was later
buried with military honors:
General Daniel E. Sickles. veter-
an Of Gettysburg, died at % Fifth
avenue, Sunday night. He died in
the faith he adopted on the battle
field of Gettysburg, where he lost his
leg. At that time. with the POSSIBLE
ity of death close by. he embraced
the Catholic faith.
Since then, and as the old time
vigor returned, the General has Oft
en- boasted of fearing neither God nor
man. But last week he asked that a
priest be called. On Saturday Faith
er Award. Of St. Joseph's. admins
tered the last rites of the Church.
1t was an oddly softened old man and
not the grim. defiant. turbulent
fighter who replied to the priests
words.
The Generals last day of life was
one peculiarly beautiful. Until night
closed in and darkened the windows
of the old mansion the old soldier
lay, conscious at infrequent intervals
only. in the food of glorious sun
shine that flooded the city. Twice
carried from one end of the house to
another, SO that, should the end
come during the day, the old warrior
would pass away in the splendor of
the Spring world.
Nothing more romantic nor stir
ring than the life of General Sickles
has been produced in book or on the
stage. He was born October Is,
1925. in New York. and educated in
the University of New York. He fol-
lowed the printing trade for a year
or so, but the spirit of sickles was
one of adventure. He craved excite
ment and demanded strife. It was
natural that he adopt politics as a
profession. He prepared by study
ing law and began practice in this
city In 1847. He was almost i'm
mediately elected to the Assembly.
In 1855 he went to the State Senate.
and in 1853 he was appointed Cor
poration Counsel of the City of New
York.
He must have hailed President
Lincoln's call to arms with joy. Such
was the man. 1t was at Gettysbure
where he made himself famous. II
was at Gettysburg that Sickles con-
tested the wisdom of his superior Of
ficer and was subsequently vindicat-
ed by reason of the success of his
own ideas. It was on that battlefield
that he lost his leg. He joined the
regular army q colonel in 1866. He
was mustered out in 1868 and in
1859 he was placed on the retired
list with full rank of Major-General.
In that year he was appointed min
lister to Spain.

Hillaire Belloc says. the only hope
for the restoration of free and sta

private property, but in its wider dis

and families as possible.

these facts suggest that to make our
socia lsystem more tolerable to the
mass of workers, some fundamental
changes are needed? The system Of
capitalism has not had a very long
history as yet; but whenever and
wherever it has been in existence,
there has been chronic discomfort
and a state resembling class war.
Is it possible that such a system can
continue indefinitely? The friends
of the established order can derive
but little comfort from the divisions
in the ranks Of it's enemies; for divi-
sions among revolutionaries lessen
only their constructive powers, not
their destructive force.
The man who Is contented with
capitalism and is satisfied that the
present regime will survive all at
tacks against it, will think it I'M
profitable to spend time studying the
proposals of the various forms of So
cialism ana Syndicalism. But the
man who sees that far-reaching
changes in our social structure are
not only possible. but also necessary,
will find much that is illuminating
and suggestive in the several
schemes of social reconstruction that
have each in common the character
istic Of seeking to substitute some
form Of collective property in place
Of individual ownership. Herein lies
their common weakness. for, as Mr..

propounded by Mr.. G. D. H. Cole, in
his recent book, The World of La

modest amendment of Guild So
cialism. Mr.. Cole is in revolt against
capitalism, yet he sees that the So
cialist remedy of extending the
powers of the state may be merely a
transference Of authority from the
capitalist to the bureaucrat." He
sees the need of giving special
share of the control of industry to
the actual producers, but objects to
the Syndicalists who would abolish
the State entirely: he complains also
that Guild Socialism would give the
State only an illusory share of con-
troll. If the guild is paid by the State
on the basis of its numbers, there is
danger that the guild instead of con-
stantly striving to improve its meth

nouncement of Hon. John C. Sheffield
of Arkabutla for the responsible posi-
ton of State Treasurer to which he as
pires. 1t has been some years since a
citizen of this county, born and raised
within its confines, has aspired to run
for a State Office and never in it's his

himself for one of the high positions of

of the masses by his every act; he is
honest, sincere and candid in public as
well as private life. He is the kind of
a candidate that his fellow citizens can
rally to without any hesitation as to his
making good, for he has made good in
every capacity in which he has ever
served and the valuable experience he
has gained in the past four years to-

Nothing is So Beautiful
As q Girls MOdeSty.

That's some dress you've got on, lit
tie girl it sure is. That delicate, cling
ing, crinky stuff is the prettiest cloth
on the store counter; that silk Persian
sash of many colors so gracefully swath-
ed about the center section of your
anatomy would knock the spots off Jo-
seph's coat. You are corseted and
tailored according to the most extreme
model in the advance August fashion
books.
But your neck is too low and your
sleeves are too short, and your skirt is
far and away tighter than skirts ever
were intended to be. And that grace
full slit exposing your dainty left ankle
shows a stocking above your pump
that is almost transparent enough to
read through. And you haven't any
more petticoat than a rabbit-you know
you haven't.
Oh, you're some swell, you are. Have
you noticed how the loafers around
town rubber at you as you trip demur-
J. .by on your way to the uplift lectures?
And have you been thinking, little fool
ish one, that they were rubbering out
of pure admiration? Ask your brother
about it. If he's got any sense he'll
tell YOU some things that will be hard on
your vanity and good for your soul.
And if you've got any you'll take
his word for 1t; you'll lay that dress
away and don something that's wide
enough around the bottom to allow
roo for two p%etticoats and one pair of
legs.
For there never was a dress designed,
little girl, that is half so beautiful as
a young girls modesty. William Allen

TANNER TO WRITE BILLS
Attorney General Will Aid in Franz

ing Measures for Legislature.
Attorney General w. v. Tanner has
'ctified the state officials and depart
ments that If they will make Their
recommendations to him at once he
will draw such legislation as they de-
sire to have passed by the next legis-
lature.
Heretofore the departments have
simply made their recommendation
TO the legislature, trusting the mem
bers of that body to draw the necee
ary bills. AS a result but few of the
recommendations have been enacte'
into law.
Mr.. Tanner plans to gather all the
data from the departments and then
draw the bills. This, he believes. wiz
do away with much of the ambiguity
that has marked the session laws and
will obviate the necessity of judicial
construction to determine the true
meaning of some of the bills.
1t Is believed that If the state Off
cials cooperate in the matter that the
next session of the legislature will re-
move more obsolete and fallacious
legislation from the statute books
than ever before. 1t will be difficult
to draw legislation for some of the
departments at this time, however,
because of the pendency of initiative
bills concerning them. These initia-
tive bills cannot be amended by the
legislature within period of two
years.

COMMITTEE REPORTS
ON POWDER FACTORY
SAYS STATE COULD SELL EXPLO-
sIvE TO FARMERS FOR
7CENTs A POUND.

The question of establishing q
state owned and operated powder fac
tory is now up to Governor Lister,
the special committee composed OF
Ralph Metcalf and John A. Rea OF
Tacoma, and State Chemist e. Full
mer, having made its report without
recommendation, thereby leaving the
entire matter in the hands of the exc
cutive.
The committee obtained the SER
vices Of r. s. Waddell, an expert
from Illinois, to assist in the work.
He found that factory capable OF
turning out 10 tons of 40 per cent
nitroglycerine powder or dynamite
would cost $4,000 exclusive of the
cost of the site. Forty acres of land
on the tide water would be necessary
as site.
Could be Sold for 2 Cents.
Mr.. Waddell estimates that powder
could be manufactured and sold d.
rect to the farmer for cents a
pound. The farmer Is now paying
from 10 cents to IA cents a pound.
This latter figure includes freight
charges which were not figured in on
the Waddell estimate of the cost OF
manufacturing. Taking this into con-
sideration it is estimated that there
would be saving to the farmer OF
about 100000 a year in the state OF
Washington.
In the report Chemist Fulmer de-
nies the statement accredited to him
by the State Grange that powder
could be manufactured at a cost OF
8 cents a pound. He says that he had
made no investigation of the matter
and did not know what it would cost
at the time he was said to have made
the statement.
The committee points out that the
legislature made no appropriation for
the maintenance and operation OF a
factory and did not provide revolv-
ing fund SO that additional legisla-
ton would be necessary before the
factory could operate. But the fac
tory could be built now and be ready
for operation at the time when an ap-
preparation made by the next legisla-
ture became effective.
Mr.. Waddell in his separate report
points out that a state factory would
be laboring under a slight disadvan-
tage In competing with the powder
trust. It could not buy supplies as
cheaply, not buying in such large
quantities, and could not extend
credit.
