THE OLD MEN
The old men beat the youngsters,
And they are some surprise;

The old men beat the youngsters,
And they are some surprise;
The old men with the laughter
Of the young dreams in their eyes.
The old men sing the gladdest,
The old men dance the maddest,
The old men dream the strongest,
Because they're swimming with the tide
AS young as all the youngsters.
The old men win my heart each time,
And how l love to praise them;
They season songs of life with rhyme
And troubles never Tease them.
The old men trust the longest
The old men dream the strongest
The old men live in dreams, indeed
But, ah, what tender cause and need
And it's hats!of to the youngsters!
The old men love the sweetest,
And they can tell it best;
The old men with undying dreams
That lead to lovely rest.
The old men whistle sweetest,
The old men waltz the neatest,
The old men headed for the stars,
With hearts love to their avatars,
The blithe, brave, smiling youngsters

ARIZONA COTTON
Hayden Suggests that Gov,
ernment Should Have 1t
Thoroughly Tested

The following letter was written
by Congressman Carl Hayden to the
Secretary of War, in relation to hav.
ing tests made by government con-
tractors for cotton goods made from
Arizona Egyptian cotton:
THE HONORABLE
The SECRETARY OF WAR,
WASHINGTON, D. c.
SIR: My attention has been called
to the fact that certain articles, for
which the War Department con.
tracts. require the use of exception
ally strong cotton in order to pro
duce strong and durable fabrics.
understand that this is particularly
the case in regard to the service
tents used by the army.
In this connection, | wish to state
that variety of Egyptian cotton is
now being grown in the Salt River
valley, Arizona, which produces
markedly uniform fiber, ID inches
long and possessing very great
strength. Of this variety, which
was developed and introduced into
cultivation by the U. S. Department
Of Agriculture. some 1000 bales
were grown last summer. This
cotton has been examined and tested
by many spinners of fine cotton and
the opinion has been unanimous that
it equals or excels in staple, strength
and quality the best fiber which is
imported from Egypt for use in the
manufacture of fine cotton and
fabrics which must possess great
strength and wearing quality. Man
! ufacturers of automobile tire fabrics
have been warm in their praise of
this cotton. Several hundred bales
of this cotton produced in 1912 were
purchased by the American Thread
Company and this firm has also been
a heavy purchaser of last years
crop. For the manufacture of the
strongest and best grades of sewing
thread they have found it fully
equal to the best cotton which they
import from Egypt.
1t should be noted that this Ari-
zona cotton is special type, grown
nowhere else in the United States
and not competing with any other
American cotton. 1t can, however,
be advantageously substituted for
the cotton grown in Egypt, of which
American spinners import every year
some 10000 bales for use in manu-
featuring certain classes of goods.
Since the exceptional strength
and fine quality of this cotton have
been fully demonstrated, l would
, suggest thatyour Department should
take steps to have it thoroughly
tested by manufacturer who have
government contracts for cotton
goods in which strength and durabil-
ity are especially requisite. | am
sure that the officials of the Depart
ment of Agriculture will be glad to
render you every assistance in pre-
pairing the specifications for cotton
goods used by your department
This new product promises to be
very important in the agricultural
development of my State, and | shall
highly appreciate any consideration
that you may be able to give to this
possibility of utilizing our Arizona
Egyptian cotton.
Yours very respectfully,
CARL HAYDEN,
Member of Congress-, Arizona.

HARMONY
IN NEBRASKA
Two State Chairmen To
Arrange Details.
Conventions Called For Same
Time and Place-0live
Branch Extended.

Lincoln, Neb., March 3O.-The meet
ing here today of the two rival Re-
publican State Committees in the in.
terest OF harmony failed to effect a
union.
Instead each committee vottu to
maintain it's separate identity. but
each extended the olive branch to the
extent that the chairman of each was
asked to issue a call for a State con-
vention on the same date-at Lincoln
July 2S-and each was empowerai. to
invite the other to cooperate in the
holding of this State convention.
The solution of the problem, in the
opinion Of many members Of the an
tagonistic committees is now SO ar
ranged that the two chairmen, Frank
NJ. Cirrie, of the so-called Taft com
mittee, ,and Ambrose c. Epperson, Of
the Progressive committee, have
in their power to see that but one State
convention is held and that there is
but one Republican convention in eac
county. At the same time the t~
chair1nen can plunge the party into
further strife by not working togeth-
err.
The committees met simultaneous
ly, bat in separate rooms. The Taft
committee offered compromise on
the basis of equal footing in power
and l1Riiership. This was rejected by
the Ppgressive committee, which
.clared in favor of Going alone. The
Taft conimittee. in turn, voted to con.
tinue lis organization, and then both
resolutions fixing identical dates for
the State convention, and adjourned
with the understanding that any fur
ther overtures must come from the re-
spective chairmen.
Chairman Epperson of the Progress
sive committee wins made an ex-
tended address.
'The subject matter of dispute pass
ed with the campaign of 1872" he
said, land If the strife is continued
1t will not pertain to matters of sub
stance; and it will be damaging he
cause it will result in the conItinu-
ance of two organizations.
"The tendency new prevailing should
be promoted by the corporation Of
all patriotic Republicans. by Joining
our efforts for the restoration OF
This committee can advance
the cause by blending our efforts
with those of the national party and
with the subordinates. the county or
ganizations of this State.
by such plan both committees
would recognize all Republicans.
"All the Republicans turnout the
State would send their delegates to
a single State convention.

Mr.. Jerome Gets His.

During the trials of young Thaw
the New York papers opposing his
freedom have insisted that he was
being encouraged by a horde of law
yers and other people to make ef-
forts for liberty in order that they
could secure fees.
Some of these papers were filled
with powerful preachmeuts about mo
corrOding influence of the Thaw
millions. 3
Former District Attorney Jerome

secure undeserved privileges. ar.
Jerome before the courts of Canada
and New Hampshire stood up as an
other Brutus arguing for the w9di-
cation of the dignity OF the Empire
State. tr.
It seems that the Thaw case has
afforded lawyers on both sides an
opportunity for collecting money. A
bill has just been passed In the New
York Legislature to give Mr.. Jerome
$3.50 as fee arbl also to give him
$l,25O expense money. ~
1t is further shown that the state
has distributed about $1,000 among
other lawyers. These lawyers. how
ever. are mostly New England, New
Hampshtre and Canadian nracf ision-
ers. and theV do not value their scr
vices so highly as iloes Mr.. Jerome.
The largest OF these fees is around
81 900.

charge, truly he Is one of the great

QUESTION new
LOCAL OPTION Law
technical Error May Render
Measure In
valid.

The validity of the % per cent
county unit bill is being questioned
by lawyers who have begun to make
a study of the measures passed at
the last General ASSEMBLY.
According to experienced lawyers
nearly every General Assembly en-
acts laws drawn in such a manner
that the validity OF them frequently
Is in doubt until determined by the
Court of Appeals.
The attack on 'he bill Is based on
the wording of the first Lines OF the
first two sections.
iPhe bill reads:
BE it enacted by the General AS
sembly OF the Commonwealth Of Ken
lucky:
Section 1. That Section 1854 be
repealeh and in Lieu thereof the fol-
lowing be enacted as q substitute
therefor
Then follows the section ais it was
proposed to amend 1t.
Further in the bill appears Sec
ton 2, as follows:
Section 2. That Section 1857 be
repealed ard in lieu thereof the fol-
lowing be enacted as substitute
therefor
1t will be noted thai in neither
the first or second section of the
bill is there anythins TO indicate
what 2554 or 1857 are sections Of
1t is OF course apparent that the sec
tions refer 10 the Kentucky Statutes,
CAROLS 1903 edition. but the point
which the layers make is that the
law does noa say so, aai that this de-
feet II ever tested in court will prove
fatal.
The redeeming feature OF the ques-
ton Is that the title o5 the bill as
It passed stated clearly thai II was
a bill to repeal and re-enact Sections
2554 and 1861 OF the Kentucky Stat
ltes. CAROLS 1909 edition.
Whether on this point or some
other 1t Is pretty generally under
stood that test will be made OF
Lhe law. and thai the trial OF It's
will be made by Judge :.

Lewis Apperton. OF Mt. Sterling.

Our platform Is not molasses Il

means what It says. 1t 10 the utter
ance of earnest and honest men,
declared the President in that san.'
speech. And now We find the Presi
dent tramping on that identical pat
form and swallowing his own promis
es. and repudiating the earnest and
honest men," and for what?
Because he is faced by an emer-
gency of the administration own
making. To Congress he appeals In
this manner:
81 ask this Of you in support OF
the foreign policy of the administra-
ton. | shall not know how to deal
with other matters Of even greater
delicacy and nearer consequence II
you do not grant 1t to me in un-
grudging measure"
In brief, a policy Of "watchful wait
ing" has been entered upon concern
ing Mexico. and in order that this
policy may be permitted to run it's
course with the acIuiescence of Eng
land. the country waa yesterday pre-
scented the spectacle of a President
of the United States publicly begging
that the Congress OF the Nation al
low him to barter American rights.
American independence, for q mess of
pottage. To curry favor with Eng
land we are to surrender our control
of the canal and make It impossible
to aid American shipping.
Thus to the Policy of Watchful
Waiting is now added to the Poll
cy of Crawl. the Policy of Scuttle!
1t is humiliating.
Look at 1t from any point OF view
you like. you Congressman, but there
is no escape from hat fact.
II is a barter, a sale.
The administration's Mexican pol
icy has been a dead failure. There
is not . nation On the face of hhe
earth that does not $50 regard it. In
stead Of jolning with them all in
recognising Huerta and permitting
him to overthrow bandits and assas-
sins. we have practically poined hands
with men stained with blood and
guilty of crimes uncomfortable. This
pollcy--maintained for a year-is
leading us into all sorts of serious
complications. And to prop it up We
must hand the keys Of the Panama
Canal to John Bull ard say to him,
Here, take them. We have no voice
in ttc management of our own canal
when II comes to the control Of our
own American, interstate commerce."
The President has given the coun-
try an exhibition of back -somersault-
ing. He has proved that he can
change his mind. But how much more !,
patriotic 1t would have been II, in
stead of changing his mind on the |
oils question, he had stood firmly |
by American rights and had confessed
his mistake regarding Mexico. for 1t

MAYO GAMELY
FIGHTING Death
Family Spends $4,000 For
His Recovery.
Moved to Cincinnati Thousands
are Spent to Prolong Days
Of Wealthy Man.

Cincinnati. March 31.-Waging O
battle for his life that is typical Of
his career John c. G. Mayo, wealthy
mine and timber operator of Kentuc
Is spending a fortune In Cincinnati
Jn his effort to regain health.
his struggle to stay the hand OF
death Mr.. Mayo has called to his
aid special train, special railroad cal
noted physicians from the East and
Cincinnati, special nurses, a special
telephone system, special automo-
biles and an entire floor of the Jew
ish Hospital.
The spectacular and sudden rise
from a mountain school teacher to a
man OF great wealth within twenty
five years MIR. Mayo amassed q for
tune estimated by many at $50 900
900, is being equaled by his niagnifi-
cient fight for Life.
Mr. Mayo has been in Cincinnati
since March receiving treatment for
Brbght's disease at the Jewish Hospit-
al. In the course of the month that
he has been patient at the hospital
1t Is estimated ha he has spent no
less than $4,000 to secure every pos
sib'e advantage against the approach
Of death, which eminent physician.
declared must be the inevitable re-
suit of his affliction.
In an effort to prolong his days
physicians hurried him to Cincinnati
from his home In Paintsvilie. Here
he was placed n charge Of DIR. r. r.
wilkins. DR.. Alfred Fritiilander and
DR.. Oliver p. Holt. A special train
was used to make railroad connec-
tons from Paintsville, and then
special car was pressed into service.
II was made plain by members of the
family that no expense must be spar
cd in this contest with death. Riches
are powerless to purchase life and
health, so it has been said by phil
osonheis, but it has remained for
MIR. Mayo to demonstrate that the
approach of death may be retarded
and the ravages of disease allayed
by the skillful application, as it
were. Of poultices OF gold.
Since the arrival of Mr.. Mayo at
the Jewish Hospital a new vista of
splendor has been opened for en-
ployes and visitors OF that institu-
ton. Mrs. Mayo, who has been at
her husbands side constantly, made
the arrangements. She has taken al
most an entire pavilion at the hos
pital, comprising an entrie floor.
These rooms are used for the comfort
Of Mr.. Mayois frieIds and business
who visit him from day
10 day. His son and daughter are
On hand whenever it is possible for,
them to leave their studies or
when the condition OF their parent
