Corporation "strinas" Cut.

BY withdrawing from these corpora
tions, J. p. Morgan & Co. have cut
the strings that have held together
many of the country's most important
corporations in a community Of inter
ests which has been assaulted within
and without congress. The house of
Morgan feels that it has kept within
the law, in all of it's complex opera
tions, and that no legal necessity nor
threatened complications with the au-
.thorities at Washington has made it
necessary to adopt the sweeping
changes in policy announced today.
One of the members of the firm said
that Morgan e. Co. had been scrupu-
lousy careful to observe the spirit as
well as the letter Of the law and that
the decision of the firm was primarily
a matter of expediency. The condi-
tions had go shaped themselves in
the past, he said, that the firm had
been compelled reluctantly to accept
the burden of management Of various
corporations and that it had long been
seeking an opportunity to lessen this
burden.

Town UNDER MARTIAL LAW
ALL CITY OFFICIALS ARE AR
RESTED FIRST, HOWEVER.
Fern Hobbs, Governors Secretary,
Has All Saloons Raided and
Proprietors Arrested.

Copperfield, Ore, Jan. 5.-Martial
law has been declared here by Colonel
B. X. Lawton, superintendent Of the
state penitentiary. Five members of
the coast artillery backed up the proc
lamation.
This action followed demand
made by Miss Fern Hobbs, private
secretary to Governor West, for the
designations of members of the city
are accused of violating an ordinance
regulating saloons. When the demand
was refused, the governors represen-
tative ordered Colonel Lawton to
place the town under martial law.
Then she boarded train to return to
the state capital.
Colonel LaWton's small force began
operations by raiding the saloons of
which they took charge. The proprie-
tors were given until o'clock to ship
their bar fixtures and liquors out of
the county on penalty Of co1flscatlon.
All of the city officials were placed
under arrest and were held "incom-
municado,'' not being permitted to
communicate with attorneys.
Governor West received two weeks
ago protest signed by more than half
the residents of Copperfield against
alleged law violation by saloons here,
one Of which was owned by the mayor
and another by councilman. 1t was
charged that liquor was being sold to
miners and that closing hours were
not observed.
The governor called upon Mayor
Stewart to close the saloons and he
refused. When Sheriff Rand also re-
fused to act, Governor West sent Miss
Hobbs to take charge of the situation.

Governor Defends Prison Methods.

st. Louis, Jan. 3.-Governor Major
in st. Louis defended the mode of
punishment in the Missouri peniten-
tiary, where prisoners are kept with
their wrists in iron rings suspended
from a wall above their heads for days
at time. "The so-called rings sys-
tenn of punishment is not severe and
it is not inhumane. It's principal pur-
pose is to confne man in single
cell, with the walls to look at, to
give him a chance to reconsider his
decision on some matter. While it
may be tiresome, it is not cruel" said
the governor.

New York, Jan. 1.-The privileges
of amateur athletes were further re-
stricted when the National Collegiate
association, just before final adjourn
ment, adopted resolution prohibiting
colleges and universities allowing stu

this rule followed a discussion of sew

Michigan City, Ind, Jan. 5.-Gold,
amounting to 81 400 buried eight years
ago by her father, was unearthed by
Mrs. William McCorkle Of McCool, Ind.
The family dispersed eight years ago

to the home of a son in Iowa. Before
his death some time ago he told of the

story fake and he paid little attention
to it. At family reunion his fathers
description was remembered.

number tells of school for office
boys i'll the skyscraper section OF

that the average graduate from
the common schools does not
know the fundamentals of letter.

The business school aims to
tram boys to write letters, file
cards and papers, to spell cor
rectly, to figure business prob

The curriculum of the common
schools is filed with non.essent-

The Terrible Turk.

The Turkish Ambassador in
defending the policies of his scoun-
try recited a whole lot Of unplea-
SAINT facts concerning some OF our
own internal conditions, calling
particular attention to the lynch
ing of negroes, as sindicating that
the people of the United States
are no further advanced than
those of Turkey. where mission
aries are occasionally hamstrung
killed, or turned loose with their
ears cut off. The State depart
ment took exception to what the
Ambassador had to say, but the
chances are that If he breaks over
the traces again that he will be
asked to pack his trunk.
Turkey has been an outlaw
among the nations, according to
the view point of the Washing
ton government, and if that
country imposes 100 per cent ta-
riff increase on the importations
of American products. as has
been threatened, The United
States will raise a protest. Whe-
Their that will be affective or not
remains to be seen. Nothing short
OF a warship. sent to Turkey du-
ring the Roosevelt administra-
ton, has ever appeared to influ-
ence the Sultan's government.

A Very Useful
Invention.
Beet Digger and Topper
for Sugar Beets.

]. Henry Worthington OF Oakley
has invented machine for top
ping and digging sugar-beets
The machine consists of sharp
knife which cuts of the tops, aud
is adjustable by a system of lev
ers SO as to top both large and
small beets; and a blowing app
aratus to dig the beets immedi.
ately after they are topped.
The one machine does both op-
erations successfully, as clearly
demonstrated i'll Mr.. Worthlng-
toms beet field To prevent a
clogging of the tops, there is a
sharp coulter attached to the
machine to clear the topping
blade. The machine is a success
and undoubtedly will soon be a.
dopted by the various sugar
companies, as 1t means vast
saving of money now spent for
hand. labor
The writer witnessed the ma
chine in use, and was greatly sur
prised at the splendid work, the
beets were thrown out OF the
ground all ready for the Wagon
1t was a triumph to the mechan.
ical ability of Mr.. Worthington,
and we feel to congratulate him
upon his invention.

The War Tax

A regular civil war has broken
III commercial circles as to the
manner of producing war reven.
.ue legislation. One OF the earliest
effects OF the war that has hit the
press of the country is the cancel
lation by the American Tobacco
Company Of $1.OOO,OOO worth
OF advertising, which had been
arranged for the coming twelve
months. This company has been
using all Of the leading periodi-
calls, and has been patron of
country newspapers as we'll as
the larger papers in the cities. In
the case of the country press the
loss will not be so heavy as the
American Tobacco Company
boasts of the skill displayed by it
i'll obtaining space from publish
ers at rediculously low figures. 1t
is stated that much OF its space
has been bought for as low as
tour cents an inch, and last wear
a new employee won fame in the
advertising field of New York by
the fact that he was reported to
have cut down the advertising
cost of the tobacco trust SIS 900
i'll three months. And yet the
tobacco trust which has perhaps
done more to demOralize country
newspaper advertising than any
other organization in existance
likely expects the newspaper to
help them escape the tax that is
to fall upon them.

Atrocities of War

The Belgian government has
sent a commission of the well.
known men of Belgium to appeal
to President Wilson against at
rocities committed by the German
army upon non-combatants. and
tor the awful plundering and
burning of Belgian cities. II one
halt OF the tales told by the COM
mission are true, this is terrible
indictment of German civilization
We have always regarded the
German nation as being one OF
the most highly civilized nations
of the world. We trust that this
culture aud civilization is but a
thin veneer which will stand
no contact with opposition or
use. 1t would be sad comment
ary upon wentieth century civil
lzation If it be true. 1t used to
be said scratch a Russ and you
will find tarter, but is it true
today thatif you cross German
you will find a fend? such stories
and episodes as those related by
the Belgians seem to indicate it.
The reply of President Wilson
indicates very clearly that Amer.
leans will be strictly neutral in
all official action towards the
belligerent nation. The Amer
ican people deplore all barbarism
and savagery III warfare, but
leave the problem to be solved
by the warning nations themselves

AN APPEAL.
To The Friends of The Chill
dren's Home Finding and Aid
Society.
Dear Friends:

Dear Friends:
AS superintendent OF the Chill.
dren's Home Finding and Aid
Society, l have decided to make
an appeal to our many friends
tor aid to enable US to meet out
standing bills.
There is an accumulation of
bills, including salaries of faith
lul workers, to the amount OF
$1l27.
UP to this time since the orga.
nization of the Society, we have
met our bills every month, but
the hard times have made it al
most impossible tor us to make
our collections to meet the cur
rent expenses.
We find that we must now
make a choice between one oftwo
things:-either we must hire this
amount OF money, paying the
interest on the same, or make an
appeal to the public at large tor
a POPULAR ONE DOLLAR SUBsRIP-
TIoN.
Hiring money means interest,
interest means limiting the am
cunt OF good we can do for the
children, and further, it will mean
putting upon the Society an in
debtedness that may take US
years to wipe out. But these bills
MUST be met. and our credit
MUST remain as it always has
been, Al.
If eleven hundred persons who
reads this appeal and who are
able to spare the one dollar. will
wri,e us their check and mail it
to this Office. 1t will enable US.
to meet all outstanding obIiga-
tion to October l. 1914, after
which time we hope to secure
enough to enable us to meet all
coming bills and close the year
free from debt.
To those desiring it, we will be
very glad to send statement of
our finances.
That we are filling need is
shown by the number OF children
that have come to us since July l
1908. which is over twelve hun
dred in the three divisions. Viz,
Aid, Hospital, aud placing out
departments.
Please do not lav this aside
thinking perhaps some one else
will send us the amount needed.
To secure eleven hundred one
dollar subscriptions will be tri-
umph. To fail, means defeat and
debt. Please help us.
