American Politics.

In speaking of American politics he
said that we generally Judge this
value of things by what they cost.
Our country has cost an appalling
price. He spoke Of the men who had
given their lives in the Civil war
that America could be country with
cut a blemish. America lives not
for itself alone; it is the spirit OF
hope to all other countries. The peo-
pie of European countries have gain
ed personal freedom, chiefly through
the influence of the United States.
china, Japan, England, Belgium, Rus
STA, France, Italy, and other coun-
tries of the old world have gained
modified forms of governments
through the influence of America. But
above them all,' said he. America
stands forth in all the dignity of per
sonifisd democracy"
He spoke of the danger Of politica
to the American government, of COZ
rupt politicians, perjury, graft, ana
enormous wealth. I'VE are breeding
too many millionaires, and too many
paupars," was one OF his striking SEN
fences. He lauded the work of the
knights of Columbus in warding off.
these dangers that confront the coun-
try. In closing, he predicted bright
er day ahead for the country VIII an
personal gain and selfishness will not
rule Americans as is now the case.

Century Plant Fitting symbol.


Century Plant Fitting Symbol
He spoke of the century plant dis
covered by the early American ex-
plorers. The plant which blooms but
once in life time, and whlcs
achieves such wonderful beauty. This
plant" said the speaker, rs a fitting
symbol OF America. For centuries the
world has waited for it, and when it
came they settled around it." He
spoke Of the strength of this country
and of how pregnant with faith it is.
How far said he, have we fulfilled
divine expectations?
He spoke at length of what this
county had endeavored to do. Will
we be able to fulfill the task assigned
to us? he asked. The world looks
upon us with hope and fear.
In speaking on American men,
Father Leen very much amused his
audisnce by the descriptions and COM
PARSONS used in illustrating their con-
slant speed and rush, their incessant
working and their desire to always
be making money. He said that if an
American had a fine horse he admir-
ed it more for its value in dollars and
cents than for it's beauty. He said
that an American admired a champion
pugilist more for the booty he wins
than for his ability. He paid high
tribute to American women. What
! we need most" said he. sis more men
and women of the best type"

CANAL BILL PASSES HOUSE

The bill repeating the clause in the
Panama canal law e%xempting Ameri-
can coastwise shipping from paying
tolls has passed the house of represen-
tatives by a great majority. How
ever, it was opposed by a large mum
Der of Democrats, including Speaker
Clark and Majority Leader Under
wood, although supported by 25 Re
publican members.
The bill has gone to the senate,
where it will again meet with deter
mined opposition. Administration
leaders in this body claim that it will
be passed by a majority of Is votes,
and while this estimate may be a lit
tie high, there is no doubt of its final
passage. For some reason or other
President Wilson has determined
that the bill shall become a law and
is exerting the powerful influence of
his office to accomplish his purpose.
Many senators, including Majority
Leader Kern, who voted for the meas.
ure when it became a law, are now
in favor of it's repeal. They prob.
ably justify their acrobatic perform.
apce by the fact that they are only
following in the footsteps of their il
lustrious leader.

M'INTOSH TURNED DOWN

Yesterday President Wilson sent TO
the senate the name of William
Wodburn, Jr., of Reno, as United
States district attorney for Nevada.
The new appointee has been district
attorney of Washoe county for three
consecutive terms and will no doubt
make a competent official.
At it's last meeting, the Nevada
Press association passed a resolution
to the effect that c. III. Mcintosh, of
Goldfeld. who was prominently men
toned for the place, was not a fit per
son for the position. Copies of this
resolution were wired to President
Wilson and Senators Newlands and
Pittman. Politics did not enter into
the question, for the same action
would no doubt have been taken had
the administration and Mr.. Mcintosh
been Republican. What effect this
editorial action had in accomplishing
the defeat of Mr.. Mcintosh none but
the gentlemen with the appointing
power know. and they are not apt TO
make disclosures IN this respect.
However, The reasonable supposltlon
Is, as they are all business men anu
politicians, that they concluded tnaI
III a public man a no more dlpio-
macy than to ~antagonlze the press OF
hls state, that ne was not an avallaule
man tor a responsible tederal ap-
pOlntment.

BUTLER PRAISES PEACE-FORMING
 POLICIES OF U. s.

New York, December 1S.-"We have developed form of preparedness that has no equal-our peace forming pol icies with the nations of the world,' declared pr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university, to- night after he had been chosen chair
 man at the organization meeting of the American League to Limit Armaments, formed to oppose great increase in American defenses. The chairman laid the existing agitation for larger arma- ments to the war in Europe and added:
 When the nations of Europe are de- stroying themselves. when they are starving and exhausting themselves to
 a peaceful basis, why should we arm ourselves against them? We don't want to be weighed down with the life de- stroying implements that are fit only for the museu moi battered Europe" pr. Butler asserted, however, that he did not believe the prospective organ ization should protest against inquiry into the condition of the army or navy and that he thought such an inquiry should be held "as 1t would be most acceptable if 1t will show that we are able to protect ourselves without em- barking into an orgy of armament building."

less than 1000 gallons per day or 30,- 0o0 gallons per month, that consu.ners in the suburbs were on flat rates and not meter rates However, everybody has disregarded the Kelley case and continued to assume that the suburbs were on meter rates, so that from 2 practical standpoint the decision of the N indham case does not make the slightest difference in the situation The Windham case was the case in which the company enjoined itself in the city court, and dissolved the injunction in the supreme court. and nobody con nected with the city appeared a at torney in the case or had anything to do with it.
 "As to the Mary B. Brown case, the court merely held that the water com pany could not make special contracts with particular individuals lower or different from the rates provided in the contract with the city. Nobody con neeted with the city appeared as at torney or had any connection with the Brown case, and neither one of these cases have the slightest effect on the city's pending litigation against the water company, except that in the quo warranto suit of Dr. Hankins, the ques ton whether meter or flat rates should be charged in the suburbs was one of several questions involved.
 "The Windham case and Brown case were not city cases and the city was not represented therein and the deci- sion reached in these cases from the city's standpoint is entirely satisfac- tory.
 Some decisive development in the city's litigation with the water com pany is expected in from 30 to 60 days

FORMER FEDERALS
 SHOWN NO MERCY

Vera Cruz, December 1s.-Former fed- erals, whose services have been accepted by Villa and Zapata, are shown no mercy by Carranzas army. They are sentenced
 to death in all cases when taken by Carranza's soldiers. This Is made plain
 in decree issued today and which will
 be published throughout the army, both in the garrisons, and at the front. This
 edict, defining the status of these former federals and authorizing summary action, characterizes them as the worst expe- nents of the reactionary element. carranza officials have been careful to maintain secrecy as to the exact posi- tions of their troops but by this time even General Villa doubtless Is aware that his forces between here and Mexico City face the biggest army either he or General Zapata has engaged. Many persons here believe 1t is not iInprob- able that before many days there will begin the greatest battle since the days when Generals Villa and Carranza were forcing theiraway southward against Gem 1 eral Hucrta.

 Scarborough, Y England. December IS. (via London December 1s. 2:15 a. msl The inquest over the bodies of those who lost their lives in the German bombard- ment was ended today. The verdicts re- turned were similar to those found at Hartlepool and Whitby-that the victims were killed by shells from German war ships. The foreman of the jury wanted to use the word murder but the coro- ner explained that this would necessitate the prosecution of someone. @ A coast guard officer testified that when the attack was opened the German ships were within 600 yards of the castle, which stands. on the promontory rising above the harbor He said be believed that nearly 800 shells were fired.
 Former Sheriff Turner of York ex- pressed the conviction that it was not safe for any women to remain in Scar- borough.

FRENCH INSTALL
 COURT AT THANN

E Paris, December 19.-(12:30 a. mo The first French court in the recon .quered territory at Thann, Alsace, was installed yesterday. The simple cere- monial was dramatic. The courtroom was crowded with girls in picturesque Alsatian costumes and old men who had waited forty odd years for the day when France should return to Alsace
 The courtroom was silent when the guard of honor dragoons, posted rack of the dais, drew their sabres at the word of command An officer entered, advanced to the judges desk and i'll solemn, tones proclaimed:
 Tn the name of the French peo- ple--"
 The low sobbing of an old Alsatian interrupted the officer, but after a short pause he continued.
 and by virtue of the instructions of the general commanding the first army we declare Monsieur - Judge at Thann with Jurisdiction, etc.
 That was all. The young people rushed cheering out into the street while the old men remained for awhile in their places in quiet ecstacy.
