Doinq a Great Mans Part.

Chiffon Times: Lincoln was abused
by men during his time, Mckinley dur
ing the Spanish American war, now
President Wilson is made the target of
censure, by some who would plunge
this country into war. Instead of I'm :
patriotic utterances every citizen
should encourage the president to do
what he thinks is for the best and then
back him up. A hasty step and this
country would be involved in war. 1t
would claim the flower of the land. A
false step by Wilson and we would pay
the price. He is doing his honest best.
No man since the days of Lincoln has
had more to contend with, none deserves
your sympathy more. Death has in
vaded his home and taken from it his
helpmate and now he must solve these
great problems alone. Any citizen who
Increases the burdens at this time is
not worthy the name of citizen. Upon
his shoulders rests the responsibilities
of nation. He is so kind of heart, sc
true, so sympathetic that he feels fol-
all, and his decision will be based or
justice just as sure as the sun will rise
TO morrow.

The Foot-and-Mout PLAQUE.

Chicago Journal: Everyone will re-
joice that the $4.00O,0OO prize herd
which has been in quarantine at Haw-
thorne race track for foot and mouth
disease has been pronounced cured. 1t
would have been a great pity to destroy
such a collection of bovine stars. But
here is what the veterinarian in charge
of this prize herd says about tbs chance
of adopting the quarantine method in a
widespread fight on this animal plague
1t would be foolish to attempt to do with any
ordinary herd what we have done with this one
The cost would make the plan prohibitive. We
had 81 100000 at stake and could afford to spend
$l50,OO0 to save it. In any general fight against
the disease killing the infected cattle is the on
~ sure method.
The fact that the state administration
adopted this sure method at the very
start is all that saved Illinois from a
loss ten times greater than it has suf-
fered.

BARNES AND SOCIALISM.

Press dispatches from Albany report
that William Barnes, former Republi
can state chairman, now dominating
member of the New York constitu
tional convention, wants an organic
law to curb Socialism. Recently Mr.
Barnes invoked the law to curb a
former president of the United States,
who is something of Christian social
ist himself. But the result was far
from satisfactory to Mr.. Barnes. Mr..
Roosevelt was hauled into court because
he had alleged that the former Repub-
lican chairman did that which is evil
in politics. And what did the redoubt-
able colonel do? Why, he proved his
allegation to the satisfaction of twelve
good men and true, jury of his peers
Recently the press featured very fine
prayer offered up at Albany by Mr.
Root, the president of the convention
OF course men should pray for Divine
guidance when entering upon any great
or important undertaking; and the eff
fectual fervent prayer availeth much
But there is also need at times Of the
strong right hand and the stretched out
arm, to scourge the grating money
changers out of the temple of Demo
cracy. The placing of such men as
Barnes in high places does much t.
promote the growth of Socialism. An(
why should men who believe, teach
and practice the Communism of Pro
lection hold up their hands in horror a
what they call Socialism?

CLEAR THE PATH.

we regret to note disposition among state
editors to knock the state solons. Ihey are
damned for this and criticised for that. NO"
legitimate criticism of our legislators Is ali
right but criticism for the sake or fauit- nhoihg
"a wrong. We believe the legislature means
we'll and il should not be held up 10 PUBIC
coraure without good and sufficient reasons. A
mora tolerant spirit should guide the members

rneasures.-Bangor Independent.
Blessed are the peacemak RS above
all others. But why should there be
closed season for men who undertake to
NAV at craftsmanship and then, either
knowingly or unknowingly. spend their
time in serving selfish special interests
rather than in promoting the public
welfare? Mere fault finding should by
all means be avoided; and our repre-
aentatiyes in senate and assembly ought
TO be commended for every good deed
All honor to the legislators who are saw
ing what they can of good government
But eternal vigilance is the price or
liberty. 1t is the especial duty of the
newspaper editor to be vigilant; and
when he sees lawmakers going wrong
he ought to say so in good hard words.
He should on no account prophesy
smooth things. The work, which he
has in hand, is to clear the path to-
wards better democracy.

LOST MEMORY AND ENLISTED.
Fracture Of Jaw In Ball Game Brought

Bailey to Himself.
Toronto. Ont.-Purley Douglas Bal
ley, son of Professor George Bailey of
Cazenoyia, n. Y, who while suffering
from lapse of memory enlisted in the
Royal Canadian dragons here on
March IL last under another name, has
recovered his memory. He walked
into police headquarters and was so
affected by what he heard of the eff
forts made to find him that he had to
be sent to the hospital barracks.
Bailey, who is graduate of SYRIA
cuse university, received a shock from
lightning and fell forty feet while en-
gagged in tree surgery in Denver. He
disappeared while on his way to see a
Syracuse physician. Partial recovery
of his memory is believed to have re-
suited from the shock of fractured
jaw received in a baseball game at the
barracks several weeks ago. He has
no recollection Of having enlisted and
it is said will be discharged.

RACE SUICIDE LAID
TO GIRLS COLLEGES
COeduCatiOn Is Urged as the
More Desirable Course.

Pittsburgh. = Separate colleges for
abolished and coeducation substituted
according to Professors Roswell John
son and Bertha J. Stutzmann of the
University of Pittsburgh.
This conclusion is based on the
charge that women's colleges contrib
ute largely to race suicide among, the
best elements of the American popula-
ton.
In support of this contention the rec
ords of Wellesley college have been
analysed and the results published in
the Journal of Heredity, the organ Of
the American Genetic association of
this city.
The investigators found that twenty
years after graduation fewer than one
half Of the girls have married. These
have borne only one and One-half chill
dren each.
Taking all the students into account
and allowing enough time to elapse so
that it is probable they will bear no
more children, the investigators next
found that the Wellesley girls contrib
ute less than one child each to the
race-that is, they do not even repro
duce their own number. And the hon
or students, who from a eugenic point
Of view are assumed to be the pick Of
the lot, do only about a third as well
as this.
To maintain stationary population
the writer's say that every married wo-
man should bear four children From
this point of view they believe that the
women's colleges are fastening the eX
tinction Of the old American stock.
The colleges are blamed for failure
to give girls an opportunity to meet
young men and for failure to make
them DESTROYS or competent to be wives
and mothers. It is shown statistically
that the marriage rate Of "cOeds'' is
considerably better, and it is remarked
that at Wellesley the students are for
hidden to receive men callers even on
Sunday, their only free day.
Viewed as to marriagea bility, the in
vestigators consider a woman most at
tractive during her college years, and
they declare it Of vital Importance that
young men should be allowed to meet
her in that period.

Roosevelt and the Party Bosses.

Darlington Democrat: Barnes has
been boss, all right. He is boss yet.
His activities lost the inspira ton of the
root Of righteousness when he deserted
the Colonel and gave the nomination to
Taft. Barnes was not libeled by any
thing Roosevelt said. 1t is impossible
to libel bosses like Barnes. His suit
was not brought in good faith but, to
show that Roosevelt was during his
official life on intimate and friendly
terms with the most corrupt bosses of
his party. Nearly everybody knew
that; but the testimony in the libel case
has established it on oath.

OUT EMPTY, BACK FULL.
Bottle Dropped In Nile Came Back Full
of Rive,

Virginia, Minn.-A. B. Coates, well
known mining man, got surprise in
the express the other day. 1t was a
bottle Of whisky from Kentucky dis
tillery that he had not ordered.
The odd thing about the gift was
that the liquor was in bottle that Mr..
Coates emptied with party Of friends
while steaming down the river Nile, in
Africa, about year ago and threw
into the murky stream.
In the bottle he had placed slip of
paper bearing his name and address.
Some one found the bottle and for
warded it to the distillery, where it
was filed and sent to Mr. Coates with
the liquor factory's compliments. The
original bottle was presented to Mr.
Coates by a local friend when he start
ed on his African trip.

Invents EyeIess Needle.

Pierpont, S. DIR. F. W. Murphy
and Frank Johnson of this city have
invented an eyeless needle for use by
surgeons. All of the surgeons who
have tried this new invention declare
it to be the greatest thing in its line.
In place of the thread being run
through the eye, thereby causing irri-
tation to the wound while it is being
sewed up, this needle is SO arranged
that the thread is fastened in the butt
and is held in place by secretly con-
structed spring appliance.

PRESS POINTS

Editor Bishop of The Bloomington Index has
the reputation for wanting something doing,
something done in his town But some there
are who have been mean enough to say that the
reason that he favors public improvements is
because they don't cost him much in taxes.
And so, after showing that he does pay good
round sum il taxes he says:
1.-THE argument that the more dollars man
has the bigger voice he should have in the com
munity affairs is particularly repugnant and

Fawn Loses Race With Electric Car

If an anxious doe is crying its
heart out because its fawn is missing,
the chances are it will be answered
by Roy Blessinger, whose farm is
about two miles below Star The
fawn, months of age, is safely
housed in Blessinger's barn. The an
imal was seen running about in that
neighborhood Wednesday, and will
ing hands at once gave chase. Mean
time, however, an interurban car came
along, and the fawn would persist in
running ahead of the car for fully two
miles. Roy Blessington finally cap
tured it, took it to his barn, and it is
being fed and fondled until the fish
and game department decides just
what to do with it. One of its legs
was bruised, but otherwise the fawn
escaped injury in its wild flight

These suits will be in the nature of
suits to foreclose mortgages, and will
involve costs and attorneys fees
which are fixed by statute. AS soon
as suit is instituted, a cost of some
thing like $40 to $50 will be incurred,
in addition to interest and penalties or
the delinquent taxes Such costs can
not be RENTED, even should the de-
PENDANTS in the suits show a DISPOSE
ton, after suit is instituted, to pay up
the delinquent taxes 1t is, therefore,
to the interest of each owner of real
estate and each MORTGAGE thereof to
avoid such suits. This can be done
only by making payment of the 1913
delinquent tax, and should be done
before the 1st day of February, 1916.
