Possibly MIR. Foster would have
been willing to give the desired in
formation had the request come from
almost any other organization than
the American Protective Tariff

to contribute in any way to a cam

influence in behalf of the Payne

The New Day in This Country.
From the Indianapolis News.
The days of plutocracy were beauti-
tiful-for plutocrats. But they have
passed. The people have put their
hands to the pillow, and they are go
ing to drive the furrow through. They
propose to make it possible for a
man to do business in this country
without license from a trust; they
have already broken the hold of the
big banks on the little ones.
There are many who do not even
yet realize how vast is the work of
reconstruction. A great-and in some
respects wonderful--system had
been built up largely on privilege
tariff and others. Through enormous
contributions to campaign funds the
great trusts and railroads purchased
favors from the government A few
men, with direct and selfish inter-
est in the matter, decided what our
taxes should be- 1t was veritable
feudal system and usurped power.
1t is against this system that the
national administration, backed by
the people, has arrayed itself. W.
are seeking some measure of de-
mocracy in trade and commerce, ms
we have 1t in politics. We have to-
day-and may we continue to have
a government that is, at least, strong
err than the Steel Trust And with II
we shall have a more widely diffused
prosperity and a greater command
of the good things of life than we
have ever had. The people nave re-
solved that this country shall be whai
it was meant to he-the country nj
the average man. Whatever suffer
ing there is, is due to the fact that
the evils were allowed to grow tc
such enormous proportions as to make
their eradication extraordinarily diff.
ficult. The blame must rest, not or
those who are now trying to right
the wrongs. but on those who sat still
and allowed them to reach their pres
ent proportion.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4. 1914.

The partial eclipse of the moon,
which takes place tonight is read as
Indicative of the death of some
great or illustrious person, since 1T
falls in the second ocean of Pisces
Mars and Saturn give warning OF
multiplying disputes among the Eu-
ropean powers and increased danger
of the spread of the war spirit.
Astrologers find the aspects for
today rather sinister, for, while the
sun and Mercury are friendly early
in the morning, the sun, Venus, Nep-
time and Mars are all adverse later
in the day.
They who are wise will pursue
routine duties while this configura-
ton prevails. 1t is not an suspicious
government for any new venture.
Misunderstanding and 'quarrels are
believed to be produced by the as
pect, which causes persons in au-
thority to be domineering.
Under this sway it is wise to re-
strain all aggressive acts, for the
influence of Mars is held to encour-
age egotism, criticism and enmity. 1t
is not a good rule for domestic har-
mony Disputes over property or
concerning the dwelling-place are
said to be most common when this
figure exists.
Those who desire to venture into
any of the artistic professions should
wait until a more favorable aspect
prevails.
There is a prophecy that a man
CONSPICUOUS in politics will die during
the autumn campaign.
Dancing is under rule which Is
believed to indicate an abatement of
interest. This applies especially to
stage performances, but it foreshad-
ows changes in social affairs.
Ancient lore found this aspect ad-
vantageous for certain household &C
tivities. 1t is lucky for the hiring
of maid servants.

rom the Atlantic Monthly.

From the Atlantic Monthly.
There is small reason to doubt that
the proper development of tree crops
would greatly enrich and cheaper
the food supply of the American peo-
pie and their domestic animals. The
chief trouble seems to be that we
have not thought about it. Most of
the crop trees of value in Europe
have been introduced into this
country. such as the olive, fig, date,
the acorn and cork oak, the walnut,
pistachio and almond. Our native
trees, such as the pecan, shagbark
mulberry, honey locust. mesquite
and persimmon, offer great promise
If properly selected, propagated, inn
proved by plant breeding and tested
BY experiment All this requires
scientific work. Now that we have
spent a quarter of a century de-
veloping the equipment for the pro-
motion of agricultural science, the
time has probably come when at
tention can be turned in part from
the herb of the field to the more
productive tree that has long made
the Oriental garden so productive.
The Mexican Soldier.
From Leslie's Weekly.
The Mexican soldier is not, as a
rule, a coward. He lacks dash ana
Initiative, but he stands fire well, and
does what he is told He is also ca
pable of enduring incredible hardship.
His food is principally tortillas and
beans Properly handled, trained and
equipped he would make a tirst-class
fighting man, but ! do not believe he
could make a stand against an eff
cient foreign army in his present
state of Reorganization. He would
be hopelessly outclassed, because he
is undisciplined. undrilled, poor
marksman and above all has not
learned to trust his officers.

Here was an expedition of all arms,
yet it had no commissary, no signal

HOW TO BECOME A CAPITALIST.

HOW TO BECOME A CAPITALIST.
mine tentbs of getting ahead consists
of laying something aside
John Wanamaker.
Capital is wealth, and any man who
has accumulated money or property
is a capitalist to the extent of the
value of that wealth, If he has saved,
the result of his saving is a contribu-
ton to the working capital of the
country, because either by the saw
ings bank route or by direcr invest
ment, very considerable part of the
savings of the thrifty goes into rail-
road, municipal and industrial securl-
ties, or real estate mortgages, thus
becoming a great factor in commercial
activity and the building of homes
and cities.
SO the man, who saves and does not
hoard is capitalist whether he
realizes it or not, and in the end he is
bound to possess good-sized bank
account.
Some persons think that big bank
accounts are made by lucky ventures
in finance-perhaps a profitable spec
ulation, or buying into sure thing
on the ground floor"
The fact is, however, that too many
good-sized bank accounts have been
depleted in that way.

counts by going into business for

OIL NOT A MINERAL,
50 PATENTS ARE VALID
Case Involved Land Estimated 10
Be Worth $500, 100000; Fierce
Litigation Ended

Washington, D. c., June 22--The
trans continental railways won their
fight for the title to some seven
hundred million of dollars worth OF
oil lands when the supreme court of
the United States today held void
the clause In the patents making the
land revert to The government II
found to contain minerals.
More than s700, ,0000O0 worth of oil
lands owned by the great transcon
tinontal railroads are involved In the
courts decision In the case Of Ed
mund Burke, who claimed title to
part of the lands which we're granted
by the government to the Southern
Pacific railroad in California. The
government contended that when II
gave the lands to the railroad IL did
not grant valuable minerals not then
lc0own to exist.
Patent Issued In 1894.
The government issued patent In
1894 to the Southern Pacific in aid
OF its construction Of a trans-con-
tinental line. Patents were issued
likewise to tho Northern Pacific and
other lines traverslng the plains and
the Rockies to the coast. Each
patent contained an exception and
reservation reading as follows:
Excluding and excepting all min
eraI lands should any such be found
in the tracts aforesaid, but this OK
clnsion and exception, according to
the terms Of the statute, shall not be
construed to include coal and iron
lands"
For years fierce controversy has
been urged as to the effect Of the
discovery OF oil
OH Not Mineral.
The railroads contended that oil
was not mineral and therefore oil
lands were not excepted from the
grant. Furthermore. the railroads
contcndcd that the exception was void
under the law governing realty
The government took the position
that It could show at any time. even
after the issuance OF the patent that
the lands were oil in nature and thus
prevent their remaining In the hands
Of the railroads.
The court held that the patents
were Irregular, hut that they could not
be attacked collaterally- other
hut could only be set aside
by direct attack by the government.
Justice VanDenter. for the court
emphasized the claim
that the governments time in which
they could attack the patents had
expired in 1900 or 1901.
This was the precise contention OF
The railroads.
