What the Officers Receive.

What the county clerk makes IS d.
vuIged by the audit. From Nay p,
1910. to Nov. 30, 1910, the net remun-
Grafton to Park Pitman, after all ex-
penses, totaled $3,516.47. From Dec 1.
1910. to Nov. 80. 1911, the amount was
S7,100. From Dec. l, 1911, TO Nov. 80,
1912, the amount equaled $6,05A7S.
From Dec 1, 1912, to June 30, 1913
(seven months), the amount was
sA49AO2. The belief is that at the end
Of the present fiscal year Pitman's sal
airy viii equal 1000.
For the fiscal year ending Nov. 80,
1912, Judge Eylar netted $4,S5110. His
net earnings for the fiscal year ending
Nov. so, 1913, amounted to S460410.
In commenting on the audit OF the
tax assessors office, the auditors say
that the items Of expenses they were
unable to verify, due to the fact that
the assessor preserved no pay roll, re-
ceipts or cancelled bank checks for
amounts paid for clerical services. The
auditors in the case recommended the

ing proper receipts for all disburs-

EMPERoRs AND PROPHECY.

Is there a gift of prophecy and
does anyone at this time understand
that gift or that science which ever
one pleases to term It? The sooth-
sayers or prophets who have given
us so many columns of prophecy con-
cerning the present European war
have told us that William Ii, Emperor
OF Germany and King OF Prussia,
would be very i'll and would prob
ably die during this month. The
Associated Press dispatches OF yes
terday conveyed the news that he
was i'll OF pneumonia. that his ply
siclan had told him he must not go
to the front again. The fact that
the prediction was made and that the
illness has come will serve TO add
interest TO the predictions that have
been made and what Tolstoi and 9TH
ers have said will continue to awaken
thought until the war is ended and
the truth or nothingness of the
prophecy has been verified. Emperor
William was born January q, 1883,
he is in his fifty sixth year, and while
he is still a young man, yet he has
reached that age when deep-seated
case of pneumonia would be danger
Gus to his life.

to note that the total amount eN-

INCREASE STANDING ARMY?

There is some agitation at this
time for an increase in the standing
army The country has about 1OO,-
900 men ready for war; If that
amount were doubled. we would not
be better equipped for war, and If
the number were doubled many times,
still we would have no such army
as many of the European nations
maintain, and if the United States
begins to prepare for war as those
countries have done we had as well
declare ourselves a military nation
and devote all our energies and rev.
enue to that end.
But does the necessity exist? We
have good navy, our fort defenses
are said to be modern and plentiful
in number. If that is true no Eu-
ropean nation could ever land an
army of invasion here. That means
that if we must go to war that the
navy will do the fighting and all
the resources of the country can be
devoted to maintenance of the navy
, while al war. If no nation can land
an invading army on our soil neither
can we land an army on their soil.
| That seems to do away with the idea
| of the necessity of a great standing
army as far as any European nation
/ Is concerned.
Turn the field glasses from Europe
and look to our own hemisphere.
South America has no country that
, can engage us in war and cannot
! hope to have for century yet That
country is not progressive; those
countries are largely divided into two
classes, the big landowners and the
peasants. The peasants are ignor-
ant, they know but little of patriot
ism there is no danger of war from
that source. Mexico, to the south,
has not the population to endanger
us. Canada is "A great country, but
1t is filled with a people who love
peace as we love it; they have no
great standing army and We are able
at any time to cope with them should
war ever be declared between the
two countries and that is so remote
as to seem unworthy or being talked.
! II we had one million or five mill
lions of trained soldiers we would
never have use for them.
In these times. when our people
read daily of war, 1t is but natural
that we should think of our own
military resources, and the govern
ment has been criticised for its un-
preparedness Only year ago we
were making figures showing how
much roadway and waterway could
| be opened by the money that went
| into the building of war vessels.
! Within less than a year we turn and
| criticise our own government for not
| having spent more for a navy. The

war is based purely upon fear. 1t
cannot be based upon information.
Even the members of congress who
make the war appropriations do not
know of our military equipments.
Thus things are a secret Of the ma
ton. Germany did not have dozen
men who knew OF its equipment be-
fore the war began. Our people know
nothing of our guns and our eXplo-
siyes. Those things are in the hands
of the military arm of the govern
ment. Reason teaches us that they
have used plenty of money and have
a reasonable amount of equipment of
the best kind. Our gunners are
trained, our vessels are among the
best and there are no causes for fear
and no demand for great standing
army

Of NEUTRAL
NATIONS HELD
TWENTY NATIONS OF WESTERN
HEMISPHERE PROTEST OPERA
TIoNs OF EUROPEAN BELLlG-
ERENTS.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Twenty ma
tions of western hemisphere today
expressed disapproval of the effects OF
the operations of the European bellig'
erents in the waters of the two Amer
icas and appointed a commission of di-
plomats to formulate practical steps
contemplating more vigorous asser'
ton of the rights OF neutrals.
Gathered around an oval table in the
magnificent Pan.American Union build
ing the diplomatic representatives OF
the American republics, most OF them
under specific instructions from their
governments, urged united action by
the nations of this hemisphere TO re-
store trade and remove some of the
burdens placed on commerce by the
European war. 1t was the first inter
national conference of neutral nations
which had assembled in any part OF
the globe since the European war be-
gan, and irrespective of its possible
accomplishment during the present
conflict, was regarded as the birth OF
a new movement in international law
for the definition of the right OF the
neutral as opposed to the right of the
belligerent

Resolution Adopted.

The governing board of the Pan
American Union declares:
81. That the magnitude of the pres
ent European war presents new PROB
lens of international law, the solution
of which is of equal interest to the en-
tire world.
"2. That in the form in which the
operations of belligerents are develop
ing. they rebound to the injury OF
neutrals.
"3. That the principal cause for
this result is that the respective rights
of belligerents and of neutrals are not
clearly defined, notwithstanding that
such definition is demanded both by
general convenience and by the spirit
of Justice which doubtless animates
the belligerents with respect to the in
terests of the neutrals.
"a. That considerations of every
character call for a definition OF such
rights as promptly as possible upon
the principle that liberty of commerce
should not be restricted beyond the
point indispensable for military opera
tiOns.
Commission is Created.
"On these grounds the governing
board of the Pan n-American Union re-
solves:
Il. 4 special commission of the
same is hereby appointed to consist
of nine members, of which the secre-
tary of state of the United States shall
form part. acting as chairman thereof,
ex-officio.
"2. This commission shall study the
problems presented by the present
European war, and shall submit to the
governing board the suggestions 1t
may deem of common interest. In the
study of questions of technical charac-
ter this commission will consult the
board of jurists.
"3. Each government may submit
to the commission such plan or sug,
gested resolutions as may be deemed
convenient, on the different subjects
that circumstances suggest"
The commission was Immediately
appointed. to consist of the ambassa'
doris from Brazil, Chile, Argentine; the

For Pan-American Solidarity.

Underlying the several speeches
made by the diplomats was a note OF
warning that the presence OF belllger'
ent warships in the western hemi'
sphere already had produced grave
complications between American ma
tions and European powers, demon
strating the vital need of Pan-Ameri-
can solidarity.
Secretary Bryan made the opening
speech, pointing out that the uhlted
States sympathized deeply with the
plight of its neighboring republics
and declaring innocent nations should
not be forced to suffer for the acts OF
the belligerents.
After a general discussion the follow
ing resolution was adopted unanimous

ANNUAL EVENT AT THE STORE

The one event looked forward 20
by the employees or Westheimer and

dinner served by Mrs. Sam Daube Just
before the holidays every year.
Today the clerks were notified not
TO 90 home for lunch as the goose
well done and in abundance, would be
there on time Needless to say, there
was very little business transacted
during the noon hour, and the clerks
were profuse in their thanks to Mrs.
Daube for her kindness.
The dinner has become fixture
with this house, and every year the
clerks are given a taste of some
real goose, cooked in the real way.
