completed his work here and depart

and benefit to the public.
He expressed himself as being salts

parks natural beauties, together with
the curative properties of the waters

UP TEACHERS AND PUPILS IN
THEIR SEVERAL VIRTUES AND
WEAKNESSES.

There is a Gridiron club in Wash

a year in which politicians, statesmen
and office holders from the president
down may see themselves as others
see them. These burlesque sessions
are largely attended. Great prepara-
tions are made, and the little per
sonal weaknesses and virtues are
somewhat exaggerated and given to
the public by superb actors
Somewhat on the same order the

came up in the real meeting.

his assertion. Mr.. Whayne says that
the siren song of the politician no

that he is absolutely content to com
bat cockle-b -burrs that try vainly to
invade his cotton patch, and will
leave the destiny of the state in other

GERMANY HAS SCANDAL
OVER TITLE SELLING
The Price Was High But Customers
Abundant and Titles Of All Grades
Were Hawlsed For Sale.
KNIGHTHooD COST 100000
AND PRoFEsSoRsHIP $4,000
Persons in High Position Engaged IN
the Traffic and an Effort Is Being
Made TO Hush the Matter.

Berlin, July Although unques-
tionably it is investigating in all sim
cerity, the government here is making
strenuous efforts to hush up the title
selling scandal started by DIR. Leib-
knecht in the reichstag.
The profits from the traffic, il has
been proven conclusively, were enor-
nous, and the general impression is that
persons in extremely high positions at
court were engaged in it. Some are
said to nave been so exalted that the
government cannot well afford to have
their names made public. This ac-
counts for the effort to suppress the
scandal. Of course the business will be
stopped and the guilty individuals
probably severely punished in some way
the public will know nothing about.
This, however, is assuming that the
scandal subsidies. 1t is not certain that
it will do so. The socialists are max.
ing the most of it, and their organ, Vor-
waerts, has published quantities of
documentary evidence concerning it.
SO far as unofficial investigators can
learn, the highest title sold was that
of knight, but it is suspected that still
higher ones were to be had by those
who had money enough to pay for them.
A knighthoOd, according to Vor-
waerts, cost 100000, and mere profes.
sorships were quoted at $4,000, so il
is clear that those who furnished them
did not have to dispose of many to
reap huge harvest, which, it is pre-.
sumed, however, had to be "split" in
several directions.
