yet one thing very noticeable is
the number Of girls who prefer to be

who ask jury trials waiver undeCid-

cases of the men arrested with them
will have to go over in that event and
they waive the jury right and stand
trial there to save the man being
kept in custody. Men do not ask
Jury trials except in very, very rare
cases. They prefer trial by the
court.
Perhaps the following case sheds
some light on this subject:

THE DEADLY PARALLEL.

There is an interesting parallel between the record of
gresham Ragsdae of the Sixth District of South Carroll
na Warren was the greedest of the public land grab
bers and patronage pushe the Republican benches of
the Senate His political history the subject of spec
which proved him to be of the most nsatate grafter
who ever put his foreee into the sw trough of the Ma
tional Treasury.
Here's what Golfers said in 1912 of Warren in one COL
um and what the public records show about Ragsdale in
the other.
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1916-07-27
RAGSDALE OF SOUTH CAROLINA

Congressman Ragsdale was nomi-
mated at the August primaries, 1912.
He took his seat the 4th day of
March following. On that day he
filed with the Clerk of the House of
Representatives of the United States
Congress notification in his own
handwriting of his appointment of
R E Whiting to act as his clerk, Sixth
District, State of South Carolina.
Ragsdale drew from the Treasury
of the United States the sum Of SIPS
per month. $4,000 in the aggregate,
as the salary allowed him for his
clerk. Mr. r E Whiting.
Whiting nerer performed days
aOork as Ragsdale's clerk IN flashing
ton, but, on the contrary. remained in
Florence during the whole period,
as Ragsdale's partner at law, and
carried on Ragsdale's law practice.
After two years Whiting retired.
and James A Pettigrew, cashier of
the Farmers & Mechanics bank Of
Florence, owned and managed by
Ragsdale, was appointed to fill the
vacancy, ,as appears by the official di-
rectory of the House of Represent
atives. Since Mr. Pettigrew's ap-
pointment he has never ceased to
perform in Florence the duties of
cashier and has never performed any
services as clerk to Mr. Ragsdale in
Washington. But Ragsdale stiH
draws $l25 per month from the Co..
ernment as Petttgrew'spay.
The law which appropriates the
money to pay for this clerk hire re-
quires that all clerks shall be placed
on the roll of employees of the House
and allows salary ONLY for those
so enrolled. Whiting and Pettigrew
were the only clerks placed on this
roll by Ragsdale.
Ragsdale. during the latter part of
May, 1915, secured the appointment
of James H Penny of Florence, S c,
to a Government clerkship in Wash
ington for 80 days only. One month
later Ragsdale sent to Pettigrew, in
Florence, a check drawn on the Treas
urer of the United States, payable
to Penny, for $1OO. This check, mark
ed paid, IS on file in the office of
South Trimble, Clerk of the House in
Washington. 1t was endorsed by
Penny over to Ragsdale's bank at
Ragsdale's direction.
Penny didn't get cent ofhe 500.
On tile contrary, $50 Of 1t acas return
ed to Clerk 7rimble to pay somebody
in Washington for doing the arork,and
tile balance, $7O,ras applied By Rays-
dale's bank,M Ragsdale's direction, as
a credH ON Penny's personal note.
RagsdaIe has thus smitten the rock
of the Treasury fo the tune of some
thing over $4,000 inside of four
years.

Warren of Wyoming.
Senator Warren has, with inn
punity, violated Federal laws, for
the violation of which others have
been driven from the Senate and to
Federal prisons. One of his favorite
habits is to make use of public funds
for his private benefit; and yet he
largely controls today (19l2) the
purse strings of our National Gov.
ernment. His son, Fred E Warren.
from August 9, 1900, to January
81, 1908. drew salary of $1,000 a
year as senate folder, and from
January 81, 1903, to January 9,19O6,
he drew a salary as assistant clerk
of the Senate Committee on Claims
of which Senator Warren WAS then
chairman, during which periods the
son was attending Harvard Univers-
ity, some five hundred miles from
Washington. Senator Warren's sbroth-
er.in-law, Charles H Smith, drew
salary of $4,000 a year as clerk of
the same committee from February
l, 1900, to December l2, 1902, dur

ously residing in Wyoming attend

Capitol except in photographs.
There were other counterfeit clerks
credited to Warren on the Govern
ment pay-rolls. Some of these quit

the Government in disgust for War
rem is alleged to have drawn the
pay, and to have only asked his
relatives and employees that they
share in the risk. Two years after
Warren's business manager. Hiram
Sapp, had been dropped from the
Government payroll, Sapp was still
unaware of his discharge. For
years Warren thus smote the rock
of the treasury, while abundant
streams of private revenue gushed
forth. There is an exact account Of
nearly $4,000 thus paid to him.
How much more the private accounts
of the Senate may show will not be
known until some courageous Sem
ator exposes the graft on the floor
of the Senate-for none but a few
Senator'S have access to these private
accounts"

whatever fear they may have had.
Damage Is Slight
The damage done by the Zeppelins
over the east and north coastlands was
insignificant Apparently the turning
out of all lights in the coast towns
bafled the raiders. They passed over
several towns without throwing bombs

fields. In one town thirty-five houses
were more or less damaged, but no
where else was the loss so great.
The loss of two more of her monster
airships will be n severe blow to Ger
many. Estimating their cost at $780,
900 apiece, the last five raids on Eng
land represent a total loss to Germany
of S1,500,0O0, in return for which they
have had only the satisfaction OF kill
ing or wounding some $50 civilians and
inhicting insignificant property damage
and no military damage.

see them escape through the open cor
Tidor, but in the condition Of the
Prussians after Jena and Austerstadt,
a condition which led to an immediate
disintegration of the whole army and
the fight of the remnant to Russian
soil. Finally we may see-this is the
least likely-a successful stand of the
Rumanians before Bucharest and along
both walls of the corridor-that is,
along the Danube and the mountains.
The things to watch are the passes
and the crossings of the river, which
are the doors Of our corridor figure.
For most military men the country Of
Rumania now seems certain TO be lost,
and the chief problem is whether the
Rumanians can, like the Belgisns and
the Serbians, get their armies away.
The danger is not graver than that of
King Albert's army after the evacua-
ton of Antwerp, and their retreat does
not offer such physical problems as did
the Serbian retreat through the wilder
ness of Albania. But no one can mis-
take the critical situation of the Ru-
manian forces nor the probability that
they will be captured or destroyed

Chicago, Nov. 28.--The diet squad
which is undergoing a two weeks test
to help establish an economical stand
ard of living and to prove that pala,,
table and nutritious meals can be served
at 40 cents a day has been fed for
week at 33 2-3 cents person each day.
On this diet the squad has gained q
total of twenty-seven pounds.
The first week of the test was nm.
ished tonight. A statement of food
consumed, purchased at random at re-
tail stores, shows that the total cost
for food for twelve persons was s2S.2s.
OF this s2.lS was for fruit, mostly
apples, oranges and dried fruits. Veg
etables cost S4.10, the chief item being
a peck of potatoes at SO cents.
Staples, including -four, molasses,
tea, coffee and breakfast cereals, cost
s772, of which S1.66 was for twenty
pounds of sugar and s1.33 was for one
eighth of a barrel of -four. Three
pounds of coffee cost 81 cents. Butter,
eggs and cheese consumed cost s4.52.
Fish added SLOT.
The most expensive article Of diet
was meat, of which $l0.08 worth was
purchased. Twenty-four loaves Of
bread cost $40 and thirty-five quarts
of milk brought the expenses up sS.l5.
There are $3.50 worth Of supplies on
