ILLINOIS MAN VICTIM
 OF INTERNAL MACHINE.

Sullivan, H., March 2.-Frederick w. Mennerich was killed Sunday by the explosion of an inferna machine, which he received from Decatur, Ill.,, by mail, and tried to open after de- ciding that his ability as an expert repair man would prevent ignition of the explosive.
 Mennerichs wife, from whom he had been separated, was taken into custody at Springfield, H., as wit ness, but was released.
 Mennerich received the package by mail Friday. It had been mailed at Decatur Thursday. From the appear ance of the parcel Mennerich decided it was an explosive apparatus, and refused to open it. He wrote let ter to his wife in Springfield, telling her about the package, and saying he had decided to open it, as he knew how to do so without an explosion.
 This letter was not mailed, but was found unsealed in the yard after the explosion. This fact led the sheriff to believe that possibly Mennerich had made the machine himself to cover up suicide.

MAKING PLANS FOR
 STENOGRAPHER CLASSS.

Plans have been perfected to give young men who are ambitious to inn prove their education to learn stenog- raphy and typewriting. The plans call for class of 10 young men. The cost of the course will be very little. In addition to the cost of books and material, there will be practically no expense. This will give some young men an opportunity to acquire this important profession at a very nomi- nal cost. The first ten young men who register will constitute the class.
 The reason for having only ten in the class is to give each boy indi- vidual instruction and this cannot be done with large class.
 Boys are requested to register with the secretary not later than Friday this week and the course will begin next Monday without fail.

THE CRISIS IN GUM CHEWING.

An acute condition is likely to make its eff
feet known among gum chewing stenographers
ribbon clerks and effeminate young men, as 1t is
found by the Pan-American Bureau at Washing
ton that there are 100000 inveterate chewers
of gum in the United States. Chicle may be
Greek to most of these people, but to make it
clear it is explained that chice is the sap of the
sapote tree, technically known as sapota zaPo-
tilla; and these Spanish jaw-breaking words eN-
plain just how most of our chewing gum is made,
While protecting the flag is important, yet how
about the sapota zapotilla? If anything should
happen in Mexico that would cut off this gum
supply it would lead to complications quite as
far-reaching those other affairs we have with
the Huertaites, the Carranza's and Villas. 1t
takes 100000, 900 packages of gum annually to
the United States, and Mexico has to supply
practically all of the sap of the sapote. With
this in mind, the gum cllewers will wish for the
success of the mediation plan as proposed by the
A. B. c. powers

SENATOR WORSEEY'S
HIGH SCHOOL.

Gloom hung over the high school auditorium
on Thursday evening at the conclusion OF the ad-
dress of Senator Worsley, of Tucson, to the grad
t1ating class of 1914 1t is sad thing to- conten-
plate that government. is all wrong; that this
is land of inequality and unequal opportunity;
that the American people are a mob OF money
grabbers; that system of taxation is robbery;
that the land question has never been solved; that
our transportation system IS all wrong; that OUR
banking system is the worst earth; that the
real truths of good government have not yet been
applied in this country Such was the gist OF the
remarks of the Senator from Tucson and alter
listening for an hour and fifteen minutes to the
word picture of the ills, from a socialist stand
point which beset this country, life really did not
seem worth living, and the young graduates no
doubt felt an additional burden placed upon their
shoulders AS is usual with most critics of Our
government the Senator failed to offer any speci
hc solution, but opine that concealed within
the breast of the speaker he lmagines he has the
solution-radical socialism although he lacked
the courage to PROFOUND it on this OCCASION We
hope the young graduates will not be utterly cast
down by the picture of inequality and disaster
painted by the orator of the evening We hope
they will not go through life with a scowl and a
frown, peSsimiStic spirit, and words of demun-
citation on their lips for the best government yet
devised by man. 1t is easy to criticise and tear
down and so difficult to construct Our Socialist
friends would disrupt Our present system of gov
eminent but they have nothing to offer in its place
but chaos and turmoil. For hundred years the
American people have been perfectlng their gov
errrrlent and will continue to do in a spirit
of patriotism but the solid rock of foundation as
embodied in our Constitution and our Declare
ton of independence, is the same today, and will
remain the same to the end, if this government is
to survive and its citizens prosper Socialist theo-
rsts may harp and criticise but so long as the
American flag floats over the public schools of
this country there is danger of recruits for
the ranks of socialism and government paterna[

THE OLD WAY AND THE NEW.

The days of the building of the Central Paci-
fic railroad were lived over again in Renaissance
on Saturday, May 9, in San Francisco, when the
fifth annual reunion and luncheon of the veterans
of the Southern Pacific company, all-Pensloners
was held in commemoraton of the 45th ami
versary of the driving of the last spike of the Cen
trail Pacific at Promontory, thus connecting the
tracks of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific
and establishing the first transcontinental line
uniting the Pacific Coast with the East. One OF
the unique features of the luncheon was the pre-
sentation of data and pictures showing the magnl-
tude of the construction of the Panama Canal and
the Central Pacific both of which were American
achievements actuated by practically the same mo-
tives.
While the means employed in the building of
the canal are of the most up-to-date character and
included the use of high explosives, power drills
electricity, concrete and steel structure, steam
shovels and dredges, the railroad was built at
time when only black powder, hand drills wooden
structure, block and tackle, candles and sperm
oil1amps were in use. Motion pictures of the
building of the canal were shown, and pictures
taken during the construction of the Central Pac-
fc showed the scope and difficulty of that enter
prise half century ago.
Hundreds of California pioneers gathered at
the luncheon and listened to addresses by Presl-
dent William Sproule, Vce-Presidents E. O. Nc
Cornick and W. R. Scott, and Col. John P. Irish
Many of the veterans were accompanied by their
wives and families.
Since the Inauguration of the Southern Pac-
fc pension system in January, 1913, the sum paid
out in pensions to retired employees has reached
100000. The system is voluntary the part
of the company, and 935 former employees have
been accorded these financial benefits during the
eleven years that pensions have been granted. On
May 81, 1914, there were SIS pensioners on the
roll The employees of the Company never tire
of telling of the work of building the Central Paci
fc, for it was distinctly California project,

COUPONS AND TAGS.

Savers of tobacco coupons and the tobacco
trust, have been given lease until Deem
Der, since Congress has voted not to take up the
consideration of the anti-coupon bill until the
next session of Congress. The testimony intro
duced at Washington goes to show that part OF
the great measure of success achieved by the So
called trust due to the premiums given out
for tags and coupons. In this matter the small
dealer is unable to compete.

MEXICO PEACEFUL AGAIN.

The Mexican people suddenly woke up to
meet the fact that they did care to be plunged
into for the sole purpose of keeping the usurp-
Huerta, in power. 1t was realization of this
fact that led Huerta to accept the offer of medi-
alton which was made by the Ministers of the
leading South American countries, namely Ar
gentine, Brazil and Chill This Committee which
is called the CA B. c." committee has taken
hold of the work in earnest, and there is much
ground for hoping that they will contribute sub
stantially towards the settlement of the Mexican
trouble. :.,l

TOLL QUESTION TO BE AMENDED.

1t seems now very certain that when the free
toll bill passes the senate that it will be amend
ed that the foreign countries will understand that
we are not giving up any rights whatever in re-
pealing the free tolls on Coastwise shipping
through the Panama Canal, and that if in the flu
ture we should decide on free toll, that will
again pass the law without consulting any other
country. 1t is quite certain now that the admin
istration bill will pass the Senate by equally as
satisfactory majority that by which it pass
ed the House. In addition to having the sup
port of the entire Democratic wing OF the Sen
ate with few Insignificant exceptions, the Pres-
dent also has the ablest republicans of the Senate
supporting the measure, such as Senators Root
of New York. Burton of Ohio, Lodge of Massa-
chusetts and Others
