slanderino the German People.

The German-American alliance. in SEES
zion at San Francisco Is concerned 'tc
correct the many erroneous statement
about the German people at present cir
culating In this country" Such erroneous
statemsnts. presumably, might be to the
effect that the German people want to
conquer and annex other peoples c0un-
tries, that they gloat over and Bneer al
the deaths OF those who went down with
the Lusitania, that they persistently de.
fame the Belgians and Indulge in savage
orgies OF hate for the English, that they
state that President Wilson Is In the pay
Of Mr.. ]. p. Morgan. The trouble is that
these erroneous statements come to this
country month after month In the columns
OF official and semioffcial German news
papers, published In Germany and con-
trolled and inspired by the kaiser's gov
eminent Any successful attempt to stop
the present wholesale and poisonous SLAM

with Berlin. The alliance II absolutely

that OF the governing clique headed by

Tho Rainsbaraers.

From the Des Molnes Tribune.
Governor Clarke has stated the reasons
for pardoninR the RainsbarRer brothers
with such clearness that the only marvel
Is the length OF time they have served
before being released.
The Rainsbargers were convicted solely
on circumstantial evidence, and when the
circumstances are studied apart from the
preJudices which colored the atmosphere
Of Hardin county 30 years ago, It becomes
evident that other groups of bad men
were fully as likely to have committed
the murder as the Rainsbargers.
The fact that the Rainsbargers were of
bad reputation, and that the murdered
man, Johnson, had insured himself more
heavily In their favor than relationship
warranted, would naturally excite sus-
picion. But II would not convince an un-
prejudiced community beyond a reason
able doubt when balanced by the fact
that Johnson had threatened to expose q
gang of counterfeiters, ind that the coun-
terfeiters had murdered another man who
threatened them. The Rainsbargers' only
interest In numbering Frank Rainsbarger's
fatherinlaw would have been to collect
life insurance.; the other crowd had q
much greater interest in his death, the
fact that he had threatened to expose
their counterfeiting deals.
But there Is another reason for releasing

How % Car. Tor HI. Baby.

In the Better Babies department of
the woman's Home Companion ap-
pears the following advice, especially
designed for mothers to follow In Aug
ust:
"The dog days of August are hard
on baby. Keep him as cool as pos
sible, sponging him with cold water
several times day.
eff you 90 away to the country,
make sure that the sanitary conditions
are right; that the milk supply Is pure;
that you can get the proper kind OF
food for your baby and small chill
dren; and that the house IL screened.
'Diarrhea, or summer complaint Is
usually caused by unclean milk or the
wrong food. II you are sure that your
supply Of milk Is being properly han
died and the COVE inspected, keep IL
pure by absolute cleanliness In han
ding, by rapid cooling, and by keep
ing 1t cool and covered until ready for
use.
Too frequent feelings sometimes
cause diarrhea: feed your baby (under
1 year OF age) regularly every three
hours, starting at o'clock in the
morning. During hot weather a baby
will not digest as much food as he viii
in cold weather. and II may be neces-
sary to lessen the strength OF the food.
Sin case Of diarrhea, give one or two
teaspoonfuls of castor oil; stop all food
for at least IL to "A hours; give cooled,
boiled water without adding any sugar,
and Immediately call your doctor.
THE dreaded second summer OF a.
baby's life should not be dreaded II his
diet Is right"

OFFICER LED CHARGE
ARMED ONLY. WITH CANE

Cairo-In recent dispatches from this
place mention was made OF the name
less hero of Sed-el- Bahr--a certain
colonel who, after the difficult land
Ing operations there, and subsequent to
the assault On the fortress, led the men
In gallant bayonet charge up a hill.
All he carried was a small cane. but a
band he wore on his arm apparently
was that Of q staff officer. He walked
about in the open under a continuous
fire. talking to the men, cheering them
up and rallying them together. When
they were all ready for the bayonet
charge. he placed himself In front OF
them all. and armed simply with this
small cane, led the charge up the hill.
The moral effect of the officers ac-
ton was great. The men charged up
the hill and cleared their enemy from
his position, but the unknown officer
lost his life. 1t now transpires that
the officer was Major Doughty Wylie
and the hill on which he met his death
is now known as Doughty Wylie's
Hill"
He had no business to be there as
he was a staff officer. but the loss
among the officers In landing had been
so great. and the necessity for making
Roadway quickly was so essential. that
Major ,Doughty-Wylie acted In the
emergency. ..h.E Z

TIMELY REDUCTION n
IN HARD COAL RATES

From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Hnllaueipnla RECORD.
There is one fact in the case Of the
freight rates on anthracite-though It does
not seem to have occupied the attention
Of the Interstate Commerce commission
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES is so simple that any
person can appreciate its force, and so
vital as to be decisive. For many years
one of the coal roads has been I'm the
habit of publishing In Its annual reports
from fro other Commodities. The revenue
from coal Is always higher than the rev.
enue from the other commodities, which
include package freight. that Is handled at
greater cost than any others.
OF the coal traffic. the commission says:
Anthracite coal Is a low grade comrnod-
lily, which is transported In vast quantities
I'm trains OF maximum tonnage. The ton
mage loaded In each car IL much greater
than the loading OF most other classes Of
traffic. Most OF the anthracite tonnage
Is shipped from colleries whose daily pro-
duction, measured In car loads, is very
large. These conditions tend toward low
er operating costs" H
All that is perfectly obvious, and yet
ing coal than for hauling the other
classes OF merchandise. That 10 enough
to prove the unreasonableness OF the rates
serves that on the Central railroad OF New
Jersey "the weighted average cost per
short ton per mile Con coaD was s.3 mills
per mile ' was s.fS mills, and on the long
ton, 1859 mills" In most cases the COM
mission found the railroads making more
than 300 per cent on the coal business, and
In some cases very much more. H.
But how could they get this? Because
they control the production and traffic.
The railroads could fx the price at tide
water and the charge for hauling. They
could FIX the figures so that coal mining
would be Of little or no profit, and the
transportation could be highly remunera-
tive Under these conditions the inde-
pendents have been selling out. and the
anthracite territory controlled by the rail-
roads and their subsidiaries has In
creased ~.
The commission refers to the Erie's bond
Issue OF 900 In 1901, representing it's
investment In the Pennsylvania coal COM
pany. That was a very Interesting trans
action. The price paid was enormous, but
never minded what the price was 30 long
as he could eliminate competitor. The
Pennsylvania Coal company was the larg-
est of the independent producers. The In
dependents In the Wyoming region were
on the point of acquiring and construct
ing q line to a plant on the Hudson river
which would make them Independent of
the anthracite pool. Their project had
been fought through the New York courts
and the state railroad commission, the in
dependents had won and the independent
Erie bought the biggest Of the independ-
ents, and without that the rest OF them
could not go on with their project. Tho
Independent railroad fell through, the in
dependents have been getting out Of the
business ever since, and the clutch of the
coal roads upon mining was absolutely Sc
cured.

T. Lothrop Stoddard, In the Century.
1.-THE Bulgarians are normally classed
as Slavs. So they are-partly. Yet the
world too often forgets that the prim-
tive Bulgarians were not Slavs at all,
but an Asiatic people OF Turanian stock
who in the seventh century burst upon
the primitive Slavs recently migrated
south OF the Danube, and settled down
as masters. Less numerous than their
subjects, the conquerors were soon alb
sorbed, losing their speech and pecu-
liar identity. Nevertheless, the blood
was a potent one. for these Turanian

their name; they stamped upon the
new folk traits which set II distinctly
apart In the category Of Slav peoples.

dwell on the Russian plains or the Ser
Wan hills, is an iaealist, prone to lose
sight of hard facts in day dreams. Cap-
able OF great accomplishment when un-
under the stimuli OF HIS enthusiasms.
In ordinary times the Slav is an easy
going, improvident, open-handed per-
SON, essentially likeably, but lacking
that practical characteristic, efficiency.
How different the Bulgarian! Re-
strained, sober, dour; with occasional
outbursts Of passion, but usually taxi
ing even his pleasures sadly; intensely
practical and hard headed; without a
trace Of mysticism; frugal to the point
OF avartce; so solicitous about the fu-
ture that this frequently becomes an
obsession; above all, possessed of a
logged, plodding, almost ferocious en-
ergy translating itself normally into
unremitting labor-such is the folk.
