GRAVE WITH HIM
Hotel Guest Dies Alone, Leaving
Detailed Instructions for
Burial.

Henry Miller, apparently alone in the
world, died yesterday in his hotel room,
where he kept securities estimated as
worth about $4,000. For six years he
had lived in the Hotel Irving. at 20
Gramercy Park, and yesterday when the
Coroner looked through his papers, Val
Valentine, the manager, learned more
about his guest than he had ever known
before.
Explicit directions concerning his
burial were found in a memorandum
book dated July 4, 1912. They were
written in ink and with great care.
81 wish to be buried" he wrote, "in

Day Of Wilson Luck"

A day more suggestive of Indian
summer than of mid-January carried
out the proverb Of Wilson luck" Mr..
Wilson was the thirteenth President
Of the United States to visit Indian
apolis. which adds another triumph to
the "13" fetch as applied TO the career
Cf the present head of the nation.
After a restful night the President
was up early this morning. At the
minor stops along the way he ayailed
himself of every opportunity to get
close to the people, appearing on the
lcar platform. shaking hands and say
ing how glad he was to be out or
parole for a little period. and waving
greetings all the way from Columbus.
Ohio, where he made his first appear
ance. to Rich mond. Ird., whore the last
stop outside of Indianapolis was made
The arrival at the overcrowded sta
ton at indianapolis gave the Presiden-
tial party room for some concern, for
the police arrangements could hardly
have been worse. Only the exceeding
good temper OF the characteristic
American crowd avoided trouble.
President Wilson went TO Senator
Kern's home for luncheon, and spent
most Of the time shaking hands with
Democrats there. Then he was driven
TO Tomlinson Hall for the address 10
the people, where he was warmly
greeted.
Following his speech, an extended
automobile trip was made through the
residential section and the environs OF
indianapolis. A stop was made at the
Indiana Club. where nearly four thou
sand persons had gathered to greet
him, and here the secretary TO the
President, Mr.. Tumulty, was nearly ar
rested.
In the crush outside the club Mr.
Tumulty became separated from the
executive party. and a policeman re-
fused to be impressed By his protesta-
tons that he really belonged" Mr.
Tumulty was rescued by friend who
recognized him, but not until he had
been threatened with "a night in the
cooler"
President Wilson left the city at 6:45
p. L.. and is due in Washington to-
morrow afternoon.

healthier than the farm. He substantiated
that statement by statistics.
''The largest cities he said, "need Fed
eral protection far less than the small towns
or rural communities. In many states the
large cities are the only points which have
any real sanitary protection.
"Our rural population of 100000 per-
sons, including the 100000 that live on
farms, receive little state health protection,
and maintain no local protective system OF
their own They are not safeguarded from
polluted water supply or sewage disposal, nor
against contaminated milk, meats and other
foods"
And DR.. Carl Alsberg ought to know.
There can be no disputing the fact that
precautionary measures reduce the death
rate in the city, and lack of precautionary
methods increases the death rate in the
country.

HEALTH AND THE FARM.

DON'T get the mistaken idea, altogether
IL too prevalent, that farm life is health
est because it is farm life. Farm life
gives ample opportunity for an abundance
of health, but neglect that opportunity and
your chance for health is not so great as it
would be in the city.
In a recent address in Chicago, DR.. Carl L.

of Chemistry, declared that the city is

mother that he wanted to send an ear OF corn
to help feed some starving little Belgian
boy. The corn clubs of the state have taken
up the matter and thousands of little fellows
in the state are giving their ears of corn,
which are being ground into meal for the
starving Belgians.

~ the Panama Canal, which required
years and millions Of money to con-.
struct, is already on the way to s%elf-sus-
tanning basis. From August Is to October
] the earnings of the new waterway amount
ed to more than 100000. The increase in
October was 40 per cent over the preceding
month, the receipts totaling $377,086. When
it is taken into consideration that the canal
has been open only a few months, and that
the European war has stagnated commerce,
this is indeed a satisfactory showing.
The first consignment of cotton to 90
through the canal left Galveston on the
steamer Penrith Castle for Yokohama, with
3270 bales. Other ships with this COM
modify will soon fall in line, because by
using the canal the vessels will save between
those ports $3.50 nautical miles, % days

Here is only a straw, but it is an excellent
commerce..

THE LURE OF THE MOVIES.

TIME PROBLEM of keeping the young
man on the farm is not the same today
as it was so, or ever 10 years ago. And
one reason why it is not so great as it
formerly was is the 'movie." The motion
picture fills a ~'long-felt want" in the rural
districts of the Nation.
Not so long ago living in the country
meant putting up with hardships that did not
come the way Of the city dw%eller; it meant
less luxury, less amusement, less life. Today
the attractions Of the country rank level
with those of the city and the choice lies
with the differences in temperament. 1t is
no longer a sacrifice to seek rural life, for
the farm community of today has many
things to offer that even the city did not
years ago. And the amusements it offers are
usually cleaner and healthier.
Are there any who do not remember the
terrible theatrical abortions that were once
offered to the rural playgoer, while his more
favored cousin in the city had the choice OF
Booth, Forrest, Barrett and Jefferson? With
the exception Of the one day that the great
est show on earth camped on its out
skirts, the year held little to the farm com
munity in the shape of theatrical amusement
but the annual tour of "Uncle Toms Cabin"
or "Way Down South" with "Sallie, the
Sewing-Machine Girl" as an occasional
relief.
Today Maude Adams plays before the
patrons of the moving picture shows in the
small towns as well as in the large cities.
Sarah Bernhardt has deigned to be a
"movie" star. Dustin Farnum, Max Fignan
and many stars Of the Legitimate" stage
have hardened to the call Of the movie, while
a splendid array of real talent developed by
the mo%tion-picture industry itself is at the
command of the patron of the Pickering
screen.
The dweller in the country town where
there is a single motion picture show often
has as great a range and choice, if the house
is well enough patronized to allow the man
ager to pay the high price demanded by the
more famous films, as the dweller among
the brick walls of the city.
The co~nveniences of city life are fast be-
coming a part of rural life and what incon-
veniences remain in the country are more
than offset by the pleasure of living where
there is room to stretch and bres the, where
shams fail and where "a man is a man for a
that"

II months, out of work and out Of pro-
visions, says an editorial in the
Eugene Daily Guard, is now a prisoner in the
County Jail, charged with burglary. lie is
charged with breaking a window and enter
ing a grocery store in Paramount, where he
was captured by the police. That a man is
out of work and hungry is no justification
for crime. There are worse things than
poverty and there is no defense of the mar
who takes what belongs to his n~eighbor be-
cause he is too proud to beg.
There is a right and wrong way OF doing
everything and in the end the right way
pays. The man who undertakes to live by
his wits, to get money or its equivalent
without working for it, is fOreordained to
failure. And yet there are always men
starting on that road. The end Of their folly
will be years and years of hard work, hard
living, lonesomeness and heart-breaking
monotony in prison.
A few weeks ago a man walked into The
Guard office and stated that he was with
out work and had a family and seven chill
dren to support. He did not seek charity,
but asked if the paper would aid in procur-
ing employment. An appeal was made to
the people of Eugene and before the paper
was scarcely off the press a place for that
man to work, temporarily at least, was
found.
What difference between these two men
when confronted by adversely! One, with
an even greater burden than the other, was
willing to 90 to the extreme so far as pro-
claiming his poverty was concerned, pro-
vided he might retain his good name, while
the second entered a grocery store, a half
block from his home, and helped himself to
provisions, destroying his citizenship and
bringing disgrace upon his bride of a few
months. The one man will remain and be
respected in the community, the other may
90 to prison; one home will be happy, the
other sad; prosperity may come to the fam.
lily Of the honest father, while poverty, so far
as the hayward husband is concerned, will
be the lot of the young wife who was to
have eaten the stolen food.
Honesty in the face of poverty is to be
admired. Men, though poor, who turn to
crime are not to be excused. Their state Of
mind may contribute provocation, but the
man who in youth learned the lesson Of in
dustry and whose idea is not to get on with
as little effort as possible will not take the
path which leads to the criminal courts.
