How the Son Of An Irish
Immigrant Served the
People As MilitaryMan
and Statesman : Why
Jackson $ Day Is Cele-
brated.
Syndicate
Copyright, 1915, by The International
Syndicate.

"NDREW JACKSON was one OF
the unique figures In our po-
litical life. He was, however,
" y not unlike many of our Presi-
dents in being Of humble origin and
having made his way through sheer
force Of character and determination.
But he was pre-eminent among them
as one having friends whose devo-
ton was proved in storm and in sun
shine. whether he was right or wrong:
and having enemies who saw no good
in anything he did and whose relent-
less hatred spent itself against him
whether the cause no espoused was
for the good Of the country or whether
he was engaged in some movement
detrimental to the public interest.
Born in a Cabin.
The posthumous son OF an Irish
immigrant and born in a log cabin
hidden among the hills of South Caro-
lima, Jackson fought his way by sheer
force to the highest office in the gift
of the people. His military career
has made him the most prominent
figure in American history between
Washington and Lincoln, yet of a
totally different type from either OF
these statesmen.
Military Career.
His career as soldier began early

STRIKE IS BEGUN
 WITH TRADES OUT
Labor Leaders Declared That 125,000 Allied Tradesmen Are Out in Sympathy Now-In- dictments Found.

New York, Sept. 27.-Although la bor leaders insisted tonight that the general strike of trade unionists in the greater city eventually would in- volve at least a half million workers, there were no further indications of a tie-up of the city's industries as threatened after announcement was made today that the strike had begun.
 While the union leaders claimed that 125,.00 wrokers in various trades already had joined the movement with twice as many more ready to walk out tomorrow, the police said they had received no reports to sub stantiate any such estimate The ac- tual situation, it was said, was con- fused because of Jewish holidays be- ing celebrated here by more than 100000 union workers.
 Leaders of the Amalgamated Asso- citation of Street and Electric Railway Employees, whose members are on strike, were encouraged tonight, they asserted, over the possibility of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers coming to their aid.
 Officials of that organization loti- fled the Public Service Commission during the day that Theodore r. Shonts, president of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, had refused to see them and discuss alleged griev- ances of motormen in the employ of the Interborough, who are members of the brotherhood. Mir. Shonts de- clared, however, there were no diff ferences between the motormen and the company.
 Two hundred and five representa- tives of various unions at a meeting late today ratified the sympathetic order for strike, it was announced, and agreed to call out the members of their organizations toomrrow. While this meeting was in session the grand jury returned indictments against fifteen persons accused of throwing stones, assaulting car en- ployes and smashing windows in cars.

MIR. JOHNSON SAYS

At the County Fair last week, I spent some time watching the work of a lot of travelling subscription agents who evidently visit all the Fairs. Their business is to tackle the farm CTS who are there, and make them a present of fountain pen, razor, pair of spectacles, or something else of the kind, if they will subscribe for cer- tain farm papers or magazines.
 Why people patronize these travel ing subscription agents at all is a mystery to me, as you can always subscribe for any first-class publca- tion from your newspaper publisher or any of the local agents who live in the county and spend their money here, and who are known to be re- sponsible. It is estimated that the people of this country are swindled out of more than a million dollars a year by travelling subscription crooks who flock to fairs, carnivals, or any place a crowd assemblies.
 Some of these agents are perfectly honest, but the only way you can be sure is to refuse to pay any money to an agent you do not know, until he proves that he is all right. He can do this, to your satisfaction, by taking his credentials othe nearest deputy sheriff or constable, and have him in- vestigate them and give the agent a note to the effect that they are all right. Credentials are easily faked and one of your local police officers should pass on them before you ac- cept them as authentic.

they are discriminatory against her in favor of other nations. Removal of these restrictions, it is explained, are regarded as Japan's third and final step in her rise to statehood, the first two being the abolition of extra territoriality and the negotiation of commercial equality treaties.
 The embassy believes the renewed negotiations will be the most friendly in character. Japanese policy toward the proposed trade war after the war will be outlined here Friday with the visit of Baron Sakatani, who is just back from the recent Allied Economic Conference at Paris.

COMMENTS OF A MAZDA LAMP MAX FIR

The report made when a lamp is dropped on the floor is caused by the thrush of air to fill up the almost per- feet vacuum in the lamp.
 A new type of Mazda lamp gives a winter light than the old style and furnishes from 20 to 30 per cent more illumination from the same amount of electricity. In making the filament of the new lamp, the drawn tungsten wire is closely coiled and resembles in miniature a long screen door spring. The purpose of such coiling is to pre- vent the rapid cooling of the filament.
 Fifty thousand Mazda lamps are destroyed each year in the Edison Lamp Works testing department to make sure that the product is kept up to standard.
 Edison lamps are manufactured at a rate of 300 a minute, yet the glass bulb must not vary more than six thousandths of an inch in thickness The filament must not vary more than one ten-thousandth of an inch in diam eter.

COL. C. H. PARKER
 CALLED BY DEATH

New Orleans, Sept. 27.-Col, C, Harrison Parker, prominent editor, politician and Confederate veteran and resident of New Orleans for more than half century, died here today following an operation several weeks ago. He had been i'll for a year. Colonel Parker was born in Jackson, Miss, 70 years ago, and came to this city when boy. At the age of 15 years he ran away from home and fought in the Confederate army. He formerly was editor of the old Picayune and other local news papers, and for several years was en- gagged in newspaper work in San Francisco and Oakland, Cal. Colonel Parker was a prominent figure in the stirring events of reconstruction days here and fought a number of duels. He was a leader in Democratic re- form movements in the state and one of the chief factors in the fight which resulted in abolishing the Louisiana lottery. His widow, who was Miss Estelle Brown of Louisville, Ky, and one daughter, survive him.

VAST ARC BEING
 MADE IN WEDGE
British and French Transform ing Twenty-twO Mile Battle Line Into Triangular Wedge in Further Success.

London, Sept 27.-The 22-mile bat tie arc running from the Ancre river to the Somme is rapidly being trans formed by the great offensive of the entente allies into an irregular tri- angular wedge in the German lines with the bases in front of Thiepval and west of Peronne and the point projecting across the Bethune road and into the St. Pierre Vaast wood.
 On the British end of the line in the region of Thiepval and eastward to the north of Fleurs the British, in Wednesdays fighting, gained further successes over the Germans and like wise the French, east and southeast of Rancourt, drove their troops for ward and entered the St. Pierre Vaast wood.
 To the south of this region from Bouchavesnes to the southern edge of the Bois L'Abbe farm, the French were compelled to face a violent at tack which was beaten off, the Ger mans being driven back in disorder.
 The British gains included German trenches on a front of 1000 yards north of Fleurs and strong re- doubt on a hill 2,000 yards northeast of Thiepval. To the northwest across the Ancre successful raids were car ried out by the British opposite Beau mont Hamel.
 Ten thousand prisoners have fallen into the hands of the British in the last two weeks fighting on the Somme according to London. There still is little news coming from the Russian and Austrian war offices concerning the east. Petrograd asserts that aside from skirmishes there is noth- ing to report. Berlin records the re- pulse of a Russian attack in Galicia near Lodova.
 On the Roumanian front lombard ments are taking place near the Tran sylvania border. Berlin reports pro- gress near Hermanstadt, while Buch- arrest chronicles the defeat of the Austro- Germans in the Jiu valley and their nasty retreat north and north west. Quiet prevails in the Dobrudja region.
 The Bulgarians have forced back the troops of the entente allies over the whole front in Macedonia. Paris, however. says three violent Bulgarian attacks on kaimakcalen were re- pulsed with heavy losses. Artillery combats continue along most of the Italian front.
 In the fighting in Asiatic Turkey, Petrograd claims successes for the Russians along the Black Sea coast in Aremnia and near Giumiohan and the Persian front in the vicinity of | Hamadan.
 What is to be the final attitude of Greece in the war is still uncertain, the latest report from Athens, how ever, is that the Greek government has decided on military cooperation with the entente allies.

Speculation in Rotten Eggs.

That sulphuretted hydogen is not
so good an investment as it used to
be appears to be proved by the fol-
lowing article which has appeared in
Farm and Fireside, the national farm
PAPER, published in Springfield, Ohio.
MANY instances go to show that
an old egg is a doubtful If not dan
gerous thing to have in ones possess
ion. Last seasons stored eggs again
prove it. When bought and stored
year ago at an average price of
about 20 cents the dozen. they SEEM
ed a fairly good prospect. In Oc-
tober these eggs began coming out of
storage at "a to 26 cents. From then
on to the close of the holiday season
the price the holder received fiuct-
uated between 22 and rs cents. In
January stored eggs touched IS
cents. The last drive to clear out the
storage repositories before the spring
slump arrived battered the price
down 10 10 cents Tor second-graue
stock.
"There are number of interpreta-
tions of the cause of the lower egg
price last fall and winter. Among
the natural influences were large
pack of stored, cheaper pork, more
unstable grain for chicken feed aud
fiatter pocketbooks among the mass
of consumers. Some fortunate buy
ers who also became fortunate sell
ers made nice profit. More
operators came out barely safe and
not an insignificant number experitn-
ed the bitterness OF the game CT

Awful Truth About Mexico.


The ruin and devastation of a
once,flourishing country have been
told again and again. Yet few people
realize, that to travel in Mexico nova
days is something almost impossible.
II afoot a band of highway robbers
will certainly take the travellers
clothes, IL he has nothing else, from
him. II on horseback, the first pat
rol he meets on the road will dis
possess him of his mount. II in
railroad coach, he is liable to be
either blown up by bomb placed on
the tracks by the Zapatists or shot
dead by the brigands that make
speciality of train looting; but his
greatest danger lies in the fearful
condition of the rolling stock which
has not been repaid during the last
five years, so that wrecks occur daily
on every section of the so-called
National Railway lines.
Hunger has reached such stage
in Mexico that no words can give
a proper idea of 1t. Brigands of all
kinds and denominations share the
spoils of a starved nation with
privileged crowd of self-appointed pet
ty rulers, while the poor peon-for
whose sake it is claimed that all
these things came to pass--has to
content himself with whatever food
he can steal, as it is too expensive to
acquire IL honestly. The stealing OF
corn is punished with death. / re-
member the CHASTITY sight of two sold
iers shot dead at the entrance of a
church in Tehuacan, while the women
and children were coming out from
the mass. Over the corpses OF the
wretched men hung, with grim sat
ire, the sign: Thieves" And the
general who had ordered the execu-
tion was engaged at the time in re-
moving to his private car all the
furniture, even to the bedding and
the flower pots, from a residence he
had been unlawfully occupying for
over a year! Not one piece of furni-
ture belonged to him. Nor the pri-
vate car, for that matter.
Two blocks away from the church
where the shooting had been done a
mob of ragged. perspiring, yelling
women fought and tore their scant
raiment in a pitiful endeavor to get
a handful of corn that was being dis
tributed by a charitable institution.
A wild horde has swept over Mex
leo and nothing but ruins remain
where civilization once held sway.
In that unfortunate country no man,
be he Carranzists, Zapatista or Willis
ia, thinks of much else than loot,
graft and murder. And there will be
revolution" in Mexico while there
remains a man to be despoiled, a
house to be ransacked or a woman to
be dishonored.
The Mexican laborer who was Of
fered liberty ana Justice mas Deen
given oppression and slavery. Every
town is ruled by the local clan of
petty military grafters. Every home
is menaced by their bestiality. No
mans life is safe from abuse. No
woman's purity is free from attack.
No city is clear of brigands. Over
this lawless and unruly mob new
flag waves-the black flag of piracy
with the skull and bones as fitting
emblem. And instead of the inspir-
ing and beloved national anthem this
motely crowd now sings a low and
ribald song, "The Cockroach!"-F.
