BY three-to.one vote, the su.
preme court Monday morning az.

sented from the decision. Justices
G. w. Wood, Frank Smith and w .
+. Kirby voted to affirm It.

or Hays action in signing il and
sendlug 1t to the secretary of states
office to be filed, completed the
Official action necessary to approve
the measure and make il a law.
"The governors own testimony
proved that he signed the bull and
gave 1t to his secretary to be filed
with the secretary OF state" said
Chief Justice McCulloch. "Wheth.
er he signed il with intentions later
of vetoing it does not interfere with
the official action Of signing 1t,
which approved It,"

their decision on the grounds that
oral evidence could not disproye the
evidence of the record, which shows
vetoIng Of the bill.

FACTORIES HAVE
HELPED POCAHONTAS

Frequent expressions from farm.
ers and citizens Of the county are
that they do not understand how
the people Of the town and country
have managed to get along as we'll
as they have through the close
times of the past year made so by
the drouth and low price of cotton,
etc. The truth of the matter is, a
large minority Of our people are
aud have been, all the time in pref
ty fair shape, from a financial point
of view. Calamity howlers have
had more to do with making times
hard than anything else. OF course
there are cases which have come to
light during the past year Of per.
sons who have needed assistance,
but such instances have always
existed to a greater or less degree.
But the town and county have been
saved from financial embarrassment
to a great extent by the mills and
factories located IN Pocahontas aud
other parts Of the county. Many
people will doubtless be surprised
to know just what has been paid
out IN Pocahontas alone by our
factories for material and labor.
Manager ]. l.. Preston OF the
Grafton Stave & Heading Company
states that his company has paid
out during the past year the sum of
s55, 200 all of which has been put
into circulation in this country.
I. M. speice of the speice Bros.
hoop factory states that his compa.
ny has paid out the sum of 500, OOs,
which has all been paid to the home
people.
j. o. Sallee OF Sallee Bros. han
die factory submits a statement
showing that his company has paid
out more than 5000 to Randolph
county people during the past year.
K. l.. Dickson, manager of the
Pocahontas Lumber Co., states that
hIs company has paid out nearly
$780, 900 during the past year, all
of which has been paid to people of
Pocahontas aud the surrounding
country.
j. X. Sbivley, manager for the
Western Tie & Timber Company,
submits statement showing that
he has paid out for ties and labor
during the past year $40, 900.
THIS money has been more general.
ly distributed among all the people
than that of the factories, and has
probably been paid to those who
needed it most.
From the foregoing il will be OBJ.
served that more than 5000, 900 in
cash has been paid out IN Pocahontas
alone which must be considered as
having been of great benefit to our
people during the past year, and
these industries will continue to
scatter the coin among our people
as long as they can be successfully
operated in this county, which will
be for several years yet to come.

IS CHRISTIANITY DECADENT?

A prominent Eastern journal asks it's readers if Christianity is decadeht.
 It emphasizes the fact that it is par ticularly incongruous that our promi- nent officials should attend church Sundays and turn their thoughts to the destruction of fellow Christians on week days, It claims that hate has busted Christianity from the hearts of the warning nations, and that the greed of gold has caused the Love of mankind to be driven from the thoughts of neutrals.
 It hardly seems possible that with half the world flying in hate at each others throats, that time can be found for prayer, yet we see the in- congruous picture of soldier attend ing divine service and picking up his rife and slaughtering his enemies when he arises from his knees.
 The kind of Christianity that bade one turn the other cheek when smit- ten has vanished for the time being, and the modern Christianity as exem- piled by spirit of carnage has taken its place.-Ex.

SAYS AMERICA UNFIT
 TO MEDIATE IN WAR.

WASHINGTON: Dr. Anna How ard Shaw, retiring President, before the annual convention of the Ma tional American Woman Suffrage As- sociation, today arranged the United States as unfit to mediate between the warning nations of Europe be- cause it denies justice to it's own women.
 "No one will deny that the real cause of the war was the injustice and selfishness which permits Gov ernments as we'll as individuals to ignore their obligations and duties to each other. But can the United States be said to be in superior po- sition? How can it plead for jus tice in Europe when it denies jus tice to it's own women?
 ""How can it claim that written agreements between nations are bind ing when it violates the fundamen- tai principles of it's own National Constitution which declares that the right of the citizen to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state? Is 1t true that the United. States Constitution, too, is but scrap of paper to be repud- Hated at wil?".

CAPTAIN NORD WILL

The steamer Kansas City, recently purchased in San Francisco by the Alaska Steamship Company and sent on a trip to Anchorage, arrived in Seattle yesterday from Tacoma, where she discharged cargo. The work of overhauling and refinishing her for the Alaska trade will begin immediately.
 Capt. Gus Nord went down to San Francisco to get the ship and has been in command of her since. The company wanted to keep him on the vessel, but he anxious to return to his one and only love, the steamship Jefferson. "He wants to go back to his own ship" said Mr. Harris, of the Alaska Steamship company yesterday. "I guess it is pretty nearly his own ship, for he has been master of the Jefferson since the day she was launched. ."-P.-I.

PUBLICITY AS AN EDUCATOR.

Advertising as a popular means of educating the people to higher ideals is a new thought. Importance was first vigorously impressed to this at a large gathering recently by First Vice President N. c. kingsbury, of the American Telegraph & Telephone Company, in an address on. "The In- vestment Side of National Publicity" The speaker said that the real value of advertising lay in the building up of a business rather than in attract ing immediate customers. His great telephone company advised not to in- duce people to install telephones, but to inform the public regarding the business purposes, difficulties, prob- lems and the ideals of the telephone company; to make it known to the American people, to use MT. Kings bury's words that "as corporation we seek to be absolutely fair and hon. est, that we are above graft, petti- ness, discrimination, that we have be- fore us the lofty ideal of civic serv- ice in supplying the means for uni versal communication, and that we do not seek an unusual or unfair profit. /"
 This pertinent question was asked by MT. Kingsbury in view of the truth of what he said: What would it be worth if we could convince everybody in this country that these statements are true? That is exactly what we are trying to teach" The speaker emphasized his point by referring to the efforts of the warning nations in Europe "to convince their own peo- pie, the rest of the world and God Almighty that their individual causes are just and righteous"
 A stronger endorsement of the ben eilts of publicity has seldom been had than this. MT. Kingsbury is not alone in holding his view of the mat ter, for recently MT. E. H. Gary, of the Steel Corporation, spoke in the frankest terms of the need of greater publicity on the part of all corpora tions, if they would get the public on their side. Incidentally this justifies the conclusion of MT. Robert E. Liv- ingston, Director of Publicity of the Consolidated Gas Company of New York, that there is as much human interest in the advertisement of a publication as you will find in the news pages. ."-Leslie's.

FAMOUS FOOTBALL
 PLAYER IS DEAD
La Grippe and Pneumonia Epidemics Hold Minneapolis and St. Paul
 in Grip of Death.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 29.--La grippe and pneumonia are sweeping through the Twin Cities and thou- sands of cases are reported by the health authorities. Business Is suf- fering from the effects of the ravages of the diseases among the workers and many of the factories are con- templating closing down until the epi- denies have run their course.
 Among the many deaths to be re- ported today is that of Tom Shevlin, the millionaire lumberman, who suc- cumbed from an attack of pneUmo- nia. He was thirty-three years of age and will long be remembered as the famous football player of Yale college.
 The epidemic of la grippe is gen. eral throughout the west and many hospitals in surrounding towns have sent emergency calls for physicians and nurses to care for the suffering.

ALASKA'S NEEDS

If congress appreciates the impor- tance of Alaska's present needs there will be no haggling over the estimates of the interior department nor skimp- ing of the necessary appropriations. The great territory is at the thresh- hold of its greatest opportunity. The first year of the government railway construction has stimulated the in terest of the whole country and started host of argonauts Alaska ward. Prospectors have penetrated the Nilds and discovered new mining wealth for development. Agricul- tural lands have been taken up, the navy as well as the commercial in- terests are wa tting for Alaska coal supplies. Every community and mat erial interest of the country is await ing the new life. and the whole machinery of development awaits only on the action of congress.
 Secretary Lane of the interior de- partment and the Alaska commission estimates the construction and main- tenance needs the government rail- way for the coming season at $S,247,- 900. This will complete connection with the Matanuska coal fields, will extend the present Alaska Northern railway forty-fve miles on the Sew ard line and will add ninty-one and one-half miles to the main line con- struction to the north, as far as the crossing of the Talkeetna river. There is also provision for grading the right-of-way out of Fairbanks to the south and estimates for nec- essary dredging and headquarters ex- pense. Emergent needs are also indicated for the coast and geodetic survey, aids to navigation and roads and bridges.
 General concurrence of official opinion in the estimates gives assur ance that they are as low as the needs of the situation will permit. There should be little or no objection on the part of congress to the continu ance of the program of development so auspiciously begun this season. Post-Intelligencer.

Will the economist of the 18th Constellation explain why we had to have a 20 mill levy when Cordova needed only five? Cordova's side walks are in as good repair as ours; her schools are no larger; she is as brilliantly lighted, and yet while our local aggregation of financiers are wildly struggling to make both ends meet on a 20 mill levy, Cordova says she has sufficient money ahead to sup ply her needs for the fiscal year.
