The Presidents Message.

The presidents message is SO brief
that every one will read it and there
is no use in boiling it down. 1t is so
clear that anyone can understand it.
1t calls for the prompt passage of the
supplementary railroad legislation
which he promised when he made his
famous backdown which kept us out
of industrial war. If he can get this
legislation through in the form in
which he proposes it-and he seems
to make no compromise nor any con-
cession-it will go far to remove the
depressed feeling which followed his
granting of the so-called eight-hour
law under pressure of threat which
he did not venture to challenge in
view of the approach of election.
There are a few other things barely
mentioned, which are of secondary
Importance and can wait if necessary.
Congress will have it's hands about

DO YOU KNOW HER FACE:
Sarah Longacre's Features Have Been
Studied by Millions.

In 1885 the government Of the
United States made an offer of 5 900
for the most acceptable design to be
placed upon the new 1-cent coin soon
to be issued. Some Indian chiefs
travelled from the Northwest to Phil
adelphia to inspect the mint, whose
chief engraver was James Barton
Longacre, who. invited them to his
house.
The engraver's daughter, Sarah,
10 years old, greatly enjoyed the
visit of her fathers guests, and dur
ing the evening, to please her, one
of the chiefs took his feathered he'll
met and war bonnet and placed it on
her head. In the company was an
artist, who Immediately sketched her
and handed the picture to her father.
Mr.. Longacre, knowing of the compe-
tition for a likeness to go upon the
cent, resolved to enter the sketch for
the prize offered by the government.
To his delight the officials accepted
it, and the face of his daughter ap-
peared upon the coin.
The face Of Sarah Longacre has
gone into more hands, more pockets,
more homes, more stores; yes, more
churches than any other coin in the
United States, if not in the world

To Punish High Price Men.

Washington, Dec. 8.-Oficials con-
Quoting the governments inquiry in
to the high cost of living virtually
completed tonight a programme to
place tomorrow before President Will
son and Attorney General Gregory,
providing for simultaneous grand
jury Investigations throughout the
country. Details as to the number
and locations of the proposed inquir-
les were not disclosed.
1t was said that doubt no longer
existed as to whether there had been
com binations to boost coal prices and
that effective means to punish those
who have violated the law in con-
tributing to the rises were being
studied.
President Wilson and the cabinet
discussed the situation today and it
is understood decided to await fur
ther disclosures before reaching a
conclusion.
In congress the house commerce
committee decided to defer action on
bills and resolutions bearing on the
subject until after the holidays.
United States Attorney Anderson,
of Boston, conducting the investiga-
ton, established headquarters at the
department of justice, called at the
white house, conferred for several
hours with Interstate Commerce COM
mission officials, spent some time
with Oliver E. Pagan, the depart
ment's expert on drawing indict-
ments, and despatched fresh instruc-
tions to the field force of investiga-
tors throughout the country.
The Interstate Commerce commits
sion began work on a mass of infor-
nation relating to car shortage and
coal shipments for use in contem-
plated prosecutions.
Indications are that the depart
ment of justice will concentrate its
immediate activities on inquiring in
to the operations of coal dealers and
minor railroad employees in the Mid
die West with view to determining
whether cars were deliberately with
drawn from their normal channels to
aid in creating an artifcially high
level in prices.
Interstate Commerce commission
statistics are understood to show
that at the height of the rise in coal
prices hundreds of loaded cars stood
in railroad yards in the Middle West.
Some cars, investigation is said to
have disclosed, have been loaded
from four to six weeks and one case
has been reported where car had
been held, loaded 106 days.

ANY Hub Lawyer Would.

Judge Parry in a recent article on
Rufus Choate, Advocate says on
occasion Choate would meet with his
Sam Weller. Defending prisoner
for the theft of money from ship, a
witness was called who had turned
States evidence, and whose testimony
went to prove that Choate's client
had instigated the theft.
WELL" asked Choate, what did
he say? Tell us how and what he
spoke to you
Why" said the witness, ''he told
US there was a man in Boston named
Choate and he'd get us off II they

German "Tanks" Superior.

At Gen. Won Falkenhayn's head
quarters in Roumania, Dec. 9.-One
of the most interesting features of
the Roumanian campaign from q
German standpoint has been the
spectacular work of the new armor-
ed automobiles evolved soon after the
advent of the British tanks" on the
Somme front, but which the develop
ments in Roumania have shown to
be a vast improvement in efficiency
over the British machines.
The car has shown itself an ef-
fcient auxiliary to the cavalry IN
patrol work, as it frequently can in
hict infinitely more damage than a
whole squadron and is far more diff
cult to destroy than the English in
vention. It's achievements so far in
elnde an attack on Roumanian in
fantry in which 800 men were kill
ed.
The cars are twenty-five feet in
length with wheels foot wide and
encased in solid rubber. They carry
a crew of ten men, including the
machine gun operators. The ma
chine guns can be operated in almost
any direction through narrow Sits.
Each man in the crew is an expert
mechanic and chauffeur, so if by any
chance a stray bullet flies through
the slit there are others to take the
injured mans place.
The 1O0-horse-power automobile
engine is both air and water-cooled
The car shell is impervious to ma
chine gun and rifle fire. When nc
opponent is in sight the top of the
turret can be opened so that a man
can get his shoulders out and make
observations. When the turret is
closed periscopes are placed in posi-
ton, which permits a view of the
surrounding landscape from all an
gJes.
There have been many odd expert
ences with these automobiles in Rou,
mania. On one of the first trips a
ear entered a village not yet cap
tured, where the officer and his crew
were taken for Russians because the
Germans were not supposed to have
armored cars. Just as the crew was
being enthusiastically greeted, three
Roumanian locomotive drivers tried
to get their engines away, but the
automobile was too swift for them
and forced their surrender after they
had been disabled.
