make such shipments should be put,
he said, on a roll of dtshonor. he
added that they should be eneouIaseo

own when the hour of peril comes to
US in our turn"
His speech follows in part:
Free citizens should be allowed to
do their own fighting. The profes.

place in a democracy as is the pol

citizen than the poltroon. Probably

warfare it is the widest nonsense to
talk of men springing to arms In mass
unless they have been taught how to

! these thirteen months have made
evident the lamentable fact that force
is moro dominant now in the affairs
OF the world than ever before; that
the most powerful of modern military
nations is utterly brutal and ruthless
IN its disregard of international NOR
atty, and that righteousness divorced
from force is utterly futile. Reliance
upon high-sounding words unbacked
by deeds Is proof of mind that
dwells only in the realm Of shadow
and of sham.
"The government has not paid a
dollar for this camp. Inasmuch as
we as nation have done nothing
whatever for national defense during
the past thirteen months, the time
when during all our history it was
most necessary to prepare for self-de-

ais should have tried, however, in
sufficiently, to provide some kind Of
substitute for proper governmental
action. The army officers and en-

This means that for every one man

portunity for every generous and

say six months actual service in one

to the country IL the need arises-and
the Americans who are not right

anyhow, for a democracy has full right

civic virtue, as well as of military ef-

Boston, Mass, Aug. 26.-Gov.
Edward r. Dunno, of Illinois, address,

In favor of the abolition of capital
punishment. which he pronounced
wrong in theory and in act.'' He
said the principal argument advanced
by the supporters of capital punish
ment was that 1t acted as a crime
deterrent but he doubted that it ever
had deferred or that it now deferred.
He cited a number of incidents from
history to show that even in the days
when penalties inflicted for crime were
most severe the extreme measures
taken failed to suppress crime. Com
ing down to the present day he said:

Census bureau of 1910. with reference
to the effect of the death penalty up

statistics show that in twenty-one of
the states having the highest number
of homicides per capita in the popula,-
ton, there is not single state that
has abolished capital punishment
These twenty -one are those which
have enforced the death penalty from
the time of their organization. Fol-
lowing these twenty-one states come
three states. Illinois. Maryland and

OVERPAID ON CONTRACT

Winnipeg, Man, Aug. 26.-The Ma
theirs royal commission appointed to
inquire into the parliament buildings
scandal, has reported its findings,
which are made public today. 1t was
unanimously found that there was a
fraudulent scheme or conspiracy" en-
tered into prior to the letting of the
capitol contract, and that the scheme
or conspiracy was formed for the pur-
pose of getting a campaign fund out or
extras on the contract.
The report names Thomas Kelly,
George r. Coldwell and Sir Redmond
Robin as parties to the scheme in its
inception, and states that at least some
of Kelly's sons, DR.. R. NJ. Simpson,
W. w. Norwood. James H. Howden, ex-
attorney general, and DIR. w. H. Mon
tague, ex-minister of public works,
later became parties and acquiesced IN
the plot.
The commission has found that KeI-
iy was fraudulentIy oyerpaid $780,

.flated, and that the caisson founda-
tions SHOULD have cost less than the
piles for which they were substituted.

made by Hon. A. B. Hudson, on the
floor of the legislature, and in the me-
mortal presented to the lieutenant
governor, have been fully proven.

N. Y. Fire Department
Base Ball Players
To Play In Fort Lee

The Trinity Athletic Club, of Fort
Lee, will engage the New York Fire
Department team at baseball on Star
Field, Fort Lee, Sunday, September
10 at 3 p. m.
There will be a brass band of
forty pieces, the Firemen's band, of
the City of New York, and this music
alone should attract an enormous
crowd. Nestel, the famous tenor,
will also sing for the delectation of
the crowd. The musical features are
quite novel in themselves, and great
treat is in store for the public. The
Trinity A. C. is composed of the
best semi-professional talent in Ber-
gen county, and the game is ex-
pected to be a hummer. Last year
these teams played with the score
of 10 to in favor of the New Yorks,
and Tim Mahoney says he expects to
reverse things at this game. Lynch,
the star pitcher will be in the box
for Fort Lee. Seats will be arranged
around the field and an admission of
twenty-five cents will be charged.
Manager Tim Mahoney says the
public may expect treat.

ly showed his badge and wanted to
be let alone. But he wasn't. He got
the usual medicine, and a severe re-
buke besides. He was told that a
man with a badge should be an ex-

to violate the law. He was abusing
a privilege, and should be above it..
1t is suspected that many people
wear fake badges, and these chaps
are the dangerous kind.
AutOists Don't Know the Town
Among the scores of automobilists
who have been warned in Palisade
all have been asked if they knew
what town they were in. Few of
them ever know. They have now
found out what fine place Palisade
is-a fine place to go slow in and
not make noise. They are helping
to put Palisade on the map. They
know exactly where it is. They won't
avoid it, either, because the road is
too fine, but they can now and will,
get better view Of the architecture
of the homes and may see the kindly
smile of appreciation that greets
them from the residents as they
move gracefully (but slowly and
noiselessly) along.
