; Brandon, July 2S-What may be the
first clew as to the whereabouts of
John l.. Wilmarth of Addison, for
who Sheriff Olin Smith of Addison
county and force of deputies have
been searching since Monday in con-
nection with the alleged shooting of
Stella Cross OF that town by young
Wilmarth, came this afternoon when
the discovery was made of what is
believed to have been case Of sui
eide in this town.
The authorities of Brandon feel
sure that there is a body of man be-
meath 20 feet of water in the Yer
mont Marble company's High street
quarry, and unless information is re-
ceiyed tonight to satisfy the select
men that such move will be fruit
less, dynamite will be used tomorrow
morning in an endeavor to bring a
body to the surface Of the pool.
The discovery was made today of
a straw hat floating on the pool which
is about 40 feet square. At the foot
of the steps leading to the quarry
were found a blue serge coat and vest
and pair of shoes. Near these ar
ticles was found a small bottle which
had contained carbolic acid.
4 briar pipe was found in one peck
ct of the coat and in another pocket
was an envelope bearing a New York
postmark. The address on the en-
velope could not be deciphered.
There was nothing on the bottle to
show where the acid had been OBJ
tanned.
Sheriff Smith said that the finding
of a pipe insthe clothes discovered in
the quarry pit would indicate that the
garments did not belong to Wilmarth
as the man was not a smoker.

THE PART HE'D PLAY

VOU get up quite an affection for the little
fellow that stands on top Of your motor
car radiator In the first place, he never
has ideas Of his own which may conflict
with your ideas Of right and wrong. He is
silent. He is attentive TO every sound and
he veers with every wind He goes wher-
ever you drive him.
Sometimes he is in the image of traffic
cop and bristles, but you know that he
doesn't mean any harm. Sometimes he is
dressed like Charley Chaplin, and you know
that he is a merry jester Sometimes he is
a nondescript, but always he is a lovable
and unobtrusve fellow
It's strange but although he has no more
to do with the direction of the car than the
cat in the next block but one, he is always
at the head Of the procession. He always
seems to be leading. He never leads. He is
faithful little slave to the man behind
Somehow it makes you think of the old
poem:
who but must laugh. if such man there be?
Who would not weep, If T. B. Smith were hep

A MATTER OF TRADE

TINE incredible figures given out by the
i Department Of Commerce on the export
trade Of last week are worthy of serious
thought. Although this nation is at peace,
these figures are in a fair way to represent
the determining factor in the war Although
the figures indicate present prosperity, they
warn against possible panic.
Nearly one hundred million dollars worth
OF exports left these shores last week. The
gain is almost 25 per cent. on any previous
week The terminal facilities at New York
are inadequate; railroads have declared en-
bargoes on certain classes of goods in order
20 transport munitions of war. In every re-
apect the situation Is abnormal
What win happen in that brief moment
Of time which must come between the end
ing OF this period and the beginning Of nor
NAL trade? Is a wise foresight taking pre-
cautions against the confusions of that mo-
ment. or is America, prosperous and. for
tunate. going blindly on in its terrible faith
that there is a special Providence to look
after drunkards and fools? Drunk with sue
cess and blind with folly we should be II the
present suf1ced us.

The educated poor and the idle rich, how

America deserves their loyalty Nothing
should be done TO discourage them let them

and talk about the duties of citizenship, as
they did at Vincent Astor's in New York
about 10 days ago and as they are planning
to do in Rittenhouse Square In this city
next January. II they talk enough about the
subject, they may begin to act as IL they
were Americans with some obligation to in

VOTE FOR AMENDMENT NUMBER 2

WHETHER the electors vote for anything
w else next Tuesday, they should vote for
the proposed Constitutional Amendment
Number q
This is the one which permits the city to
increase it's Indebtedness by per cent, "for
the construction and Improvement of sub
ways, tunnels, railways, elevated railways
and other transit facilities for the construc-
ton and improvement Of wharves, docks and
for the reclamation Of land to be used in the
construction Of wharves and docks, owned or
to be owned by said city"
Unless it is adopted, all plans for rapid
transit and port improvement will be de-
layed for lack of money 1t is favored by
the leaders of all parties and all factions.
1t has been passed by the General Assembly
at two successive sessions, and it has with
stood all the criticism that has been leveled
against it. Every one admits that it pro-
vdes the only way out of the present finan-
cial stringency Of the city.
The time for argument on it has passed
and the time for action will soon be here.
If adopted at all, 1t must be by the votes
Of Philadelphia, and this means by your
vote and by the votes OF all your neighbors.
SO do not forget about it's importance when
you go into the polling booth, you may
find that all your anticpations Of the bene-
fits Of the projected public Improvements will
be frustrated through your own neglect.

HELP THE BABIES

THERE is no worthier philanthropy than
l. the Children's Hospital The rich are
giving OF their abundance toward the fund
now raising for It. They deserve all praise
for what they are doing. Those who are
not rich but with just enough for comfort
are expected to give also. They know what
suffering means and they are blessed with
the love of children, and will. without any
doubt, do what they can TO make It possible
for the hospital TO help a larger number Of
cases
The convict who gave his last dollar to
the fund just as he was entering prison to
serve his sentence set an example that more
worthy people might well follow

EQUALIZE THINGS

DY SOME happy chance, the amendment
- providing for woman suffrage in Penn
sylvania stands first on the list of proposed
changes In the Constitution.
Every change in the fundamental law of
the State involves the right of voters to
make the change. The first amendment
asserts that right. It asserts in the simplest
and most inclusive terms the principle on
which the State and the National Govern
ments are based-that the people Of this
country have the right to govern themselves.
The privilege Of voting has come to every
voter at this election by the simple progress
OF the years. Under age, he watched; Of
age, he voted. By a merely negative acci-
dent his sister and his mother have been
denied the privilege. 1t is up to the acci-
dental voters to equalize things
II Is too late for argument and for re-
elimination. In six days the vote will be
cast.
Vote Yes.

GOING COLD TO SPITE THE TAILOR

IF man should refuse to wear clothes
i to protect himself against the cold be-
cause the tailors were anxious to sell him a
new overcoat and might make a profit we
should call him a fool.
But there are some distinguished citizens
going up and down the country arguing that
the nation should refuse to make prudent
preparation to protect itself against invasion,
because, forsooth munitions manufacturers
are anxious to sell guns to it and to make
the usual profit that accrues in well-man-
aeed- business.
They would resent it if they should be
called asses. They are posing as lovers of
humanity and advocates of peace.
If this great nation cannot buy an over
coat to protect itself against threatening
weather without being swindled by the tailor
or being inveigled into buying a bigger coat
than 1t needs. then the people are bigger
fools than their severest critics have sus-
pected.
But the nation is not made up of FOOLS
and IT does not intend TO go cold to spite
the tailor.

MORE TERMS OF PEACE

THE second, but by no means the last,
i act Of that merry farce, THE Terms of
Peace or, Whistling in the Graveyard"
is now revealed to the public in the columns
of the Hamburger Nachrichten, the Vossische
Zeitung and other eminently impartial OBJ
servers. The first act was produced by those
notable testers, The Allies, and was sub
titled, "The Dismemberment of Germany"
The olio was supplied through Austria, and
had three turns-freedom of the seas, free
dom of Poland and the great acrobatic twist,
recognition of the rights of the Jew.
Now, in the words of the Rheinisch- West
faelische Zeitung, we learn the exact terms.
Austria is to have Serbia and is to control
the Adriatic littoraI; Belgium is to become
German, with a sop for Holland. France is
to be deprived Of her fortified places, and the
territory now in German hands win probably
not change Russia is to give up Finland
Poland the Baltic provinces and Bessarabia;
England must abandon her Mediterranean
and African possessions; France likewise
and India is to become a semi-ndependent
State under the suzerainty of Germany. Ger
many. II is understood, will amply recon-
pense Bulgaria and Turkey, her faithful
allies
In America we know the name for this
sort of thing. 1t is nerve-colossal, un-
comes Immediately before an announcement
that Prince Won Buelow win shortly lay be-
fore King Alfonso and President Wilson a
proposal for peace. If this is merely a feeler,
what will that proposal be?

made $500 week during the last years of
his stay at Pennsylvania. He is now at it
professionally Earnest students can always
find assistance from the faculty through the
award of partial or whole scholarships, which
means a reduction Of from $50 to $3.50 on the
annual budget.
A limited number of students at Pennsyl-
vania make sizable incomes by representing
nationally advertised tailoring firms or drum
ming up trade for local tailors Their method
is to advertise in the college papers that they
will meet and measure prospective customers
at given time and place. Still other stu
dents represent laundries, in some cases not
being above calling for and delivering the
goods.
A lucrative means of self-help is reporting
for newspapers. The campus of q large uni
versity like Pennsylvania simply exudes
news Many students wait on the table
This is particularly the case at Pennsylva-
MIA, which has no dining commons and is
almost completely surrounded by boarding
houses and student cafes. Ninety per cent
of the walters are students. This service
pays for board, sometimes for lodging, too
A profitable extension of this method is the
operation of dining clubs Several students
of business ability buy the conc ssion of a
dining room in large boarding house
Others act as stewards of their fraternities
1t is of record that partial or wholly self
supporting students are most often among
the leaders of their classes in scholarship.

The estimated cost Of the canal was
$4,845,000. The first work done was
under contracts and at a very favor
able figure. Thereafter, beginning in
July, 1910. the work was done by
hired labor, and, except for the con-
struction and installation Of lock
gates and small bridges, the canal
was completed under this method.
This work furnishes, therefore, an
excellent opportunity to test the state
