particularly for the shut-ins.
Mr. Lanier wrote to me early in 1908 to
give him trial.
| had never heard of him, but his letter
made favorable impression, and without
asking for any references-which never do
he was invited to come.
He set to work with me, and I am sure
that he meant to be loyal and efficient. For
months his table was near mine, and he was
regular, Industrious and full of zeal
He won the confidence and the good will of
everybody connected with the Jefersonians.
He tried many things which failed, but all
of us do that For instance, he experimental
with the Jefersonian Clubs, in spite of my
telling him that our people were not the sort
who could be led into regular attendance
upon literary and political clubs
He nearly broke me on some of his schemes,
such as premiums, patterns, buttons, spoons,
crockery ware, girls who didn't know what
to do, and other girls who came to watch the
clock, &c.
But still, I liked James Lanier, and believed
that In course of time he would "produce
results
He did, They were debts that calmly ate
few farms in McDufhe. Mountain Top
landscape in Virginia, and very pretty
ocean-view pet Of mine in Florida.
For few months the hot water that Lanier
got me into was made even hotter by the
remarks [ made as | sold off chunks of prop
erty to pay those debts.
1t all happened making of the debts,

ing patriotic speeches for patriotic candi-
dates for office, who forgot what the "E.' is
In my name for, Immediately after they were
sworn into office.
Some of these patriots not only forgot my
middle name, but forgot both ends.
Well, to cut tedious tale short, got rid
OF Lanler, leaving him to sell various things
that he had bought with my money, and to
travel away from here on the proceeds.
Poor fellow, he seems to have made
straight dive for perdition.
He left his wife: he faded from view: he
rubbed up against that nasty little Italian
Anthony Matre, in St. Lou1s, and Matre
stated in that cowardly secret Bulletin of his
that Lanier had told him some very interest
ing things about me-
Whereupon [ invited the unwashed little
fOOt-kisser, Matre, to come out like a man
and publish those interesting things.
Of course the lousy little scoundrel Matre,
was too much of cur to do it.
L heard no more of poor Lanier until a
few weeks ago, a firm of undertakers wrote
us inquiring about an Englishman who had
been killed by locomotive
The description fitted Lanier. We ans
wered the letter giving some physical marks
by which Identification could be made certain.
We also gave the P. 0. address of his wife,
to whom the poor, weak fellow had seemed
to be devotedly attached. It was his tender
ness to her son by previous marriage that
gave Lanier the name of Daddy Jim-the
orphan boys name for the indulgent step
father.

he couldn't grant license for a place

license has been granted to the Ho-

Boarding schools. or colleges where
students are boarded. will have to pay
restaurant license. according to q
decision received by Charles J. Nc
CarthY. city and county treasurer
from p. L. Weaver, first deputy city
and county attorney.
The point was brought up to Mr. Wea
yer by the treasurer. and he has come
back with an opinion that has taken
Col. Mccarthy by surprise. The fol
lowing is the letter in which Col. Nc
Carthy put the question up to Attor'
ney Weaver:
To-day the question was raised as
to whether or not boarding schools
or colleges which board and Lodge
students, and charge for such board
and lodging as part Of the fee, are liza
BILE for a hotel license.
las do not find any record in this
office of any institution of this kind
ever having paid such a license. and
being doubtful as TO whether they are
liable for such, would respectfully
ask your department, should demand
that these institutions take out a hotel
license?
Yours respectfully,
&c. j. MCCARTHY.
City and County Treasurer.
The following is the opinion:
You ask II boarding schools, which
board and lodge students and charge
for such board and lodging as part
of the school fee, are liable for a ho-
tel license. z..s. ,
THE question is, are such schools
liable for a boarding house license

cation will be followed with interest,
not only by Americans but by leading
economists in all parts of the world;
for If the United States, following the
hint contained in the Gore resolution,
should conclude to nationalize the In
dian oil fields Of Oklahoma, it would
have at It's disposal q larger body of
this new and better fuel than is at
present commanded by the rest of
the world combined
The great Importance of this Ques-
tion was first officially raised by Sec
retary Josephus Daniels in his recent
annual report and little later Sena-
tor Gore embodied the chief points of
the Daniels argument in the resolu-
ton calling for thorough investiga-
tion of the question of whether the
American government ought to build
pipe lines and terminals for the con-
troll of the oil on Indian lands in Ok
lahoma.
The Gore resolution called on the
secretary of the interior and the secre-
tary of the navy to make the investi.
cation. Secretary Lane has asked that
Cato Sells, commissioner of Indian af-
fairs, be his representative in that
work, and Secretary Daniels has ask
ed that his place as one of the investi'
gators be taken by ieut.-Comdr. Dav.
Id F.. Boyd of the navy. 1t is already
known that there will be hearings
both here and in Oklahoma, and possi-
bly, at other places, and that the in
vestigation will run along for a num-
ber of weeks, and possibly for several
months. The report of the two investi-
gators will be submitted to the secre-
taries of the interior and the navy,
who will transmit it to Congress.
That the report, with the admins
tration favoring the principle back of
the Gore resolution, provided 1t can
be applied In satisfactory manner to
the American situation, will recon-
mend the carrying out of the recon-
mendations made in the Daniels report
and repeated in the resolution, is not
denied here by well informed men.

TREATIES
ARE TAKEN UP

FAVORABLE ACTION PROBABLE

Arbitration Pacts With Great Britain,
Japan, Italy and Portugal Likely To
Be Reported In the Form They
Were Drawn Up by the State De-
partment-canal Tolls Question the
Next to Receive Consideration.
Washington, Jan. 29.--The senate
foreign relations committee called up
the pending arbitration treaties with
Great Britain, Japan, Italy and Por-
tugal. A discussion of the treaties in
dicated an early report on them in
practically the form in which they
have been sent to the senate by the
state department. Favorable action
on the arbitration treaties is expect
ed to follow in the senate within a
few days.
With the arbitration treaties dis
posed Of the administration will di-
rect Its attention to the Panama ca
nal tolls question. The president al
ready has indicated to members of
the foreign relations committee that
he is against the granting of free
tolls to American coastwise ships,
and believes some legislative action
ought to be taken which will remove
Great Britain's ground of complaint
that the Pan-American canal act con-
stitutes a violation Of the Hay-Paun.
cefote treaty.
The differences which have devel-
oped between the United States and
Great Britain over the Panama canal
tolls question, the feeling against the
United States in Russia because of
the abrogation of the commercial
treaty; the failure of the senate to
act on arbitration treaties negotiated
by nations of the first class in the
best of faith, and the issue with ia
pan over the California alien land
laws have developed situation
which is likely to hamper the United
States in its efforts to solve the diff
culties In Mexico.
All of these matters are giving the
administration considerable concern
at this time, not because Of any sin
gle issue involved, but because of the
peculiarly isolated position in which
the United States would find itself In
the event of serious trouble being
precipitated by any nation.
