THE SCRATCH PAD.
By THOMAS EWING DABNEY.

The Montgomery Advertiser says
Florida is the first state to abase it
before the teachers of intolerance"
Maybe so, but it wa also the first to
mobilize and the first southern state
to send its troops to the front.
Hughes attacks the ''incertitude"
of Wilson. Considering the fact that
Hughes the Hirsute didn't open his
houth until Roosevelt came out and
said it first, incertitude is about the
last thing he should mention.
A Portland man swiped his wife's
automobile to elope with another
woman; and if the truth were told, he
probably got the second lady to pay
for the gasoline.
Reading about the Tampa soldier
who kissed nineteen girls before en-
training, the local boys may truth
fully be said to be straining at the
leash.
The Indiana man who fell uncon-
scious while beating a rug probably
was all tired out with chewing the
rag.

Spare the rod and spoil the child

Swat the fly and save the child.
That loud plop was the falling hope
of John M. Parker, vice presidential
nominee of the Progressives.
Everybody thought Roosevelt got ii
in the neck, but it seems that he is
complaining about his rib.
It's just spitefulness on the part
of the French not to let the Kaiser

tempt to live up, and the resulting
good relation between all business
men, regardless of whether or not
they are Rotarians.
w. H. Watson stressed the duty of
Rotarians in his relations with others
in trying to make business ideals con-
form with Rotary ideals, and said
that Rotary's greatest opportunity Of
service was in influencing all bust
ness relations with the spirit of Ro-
tary.
DR.. S. R. Mallory Kennedy laid
down a general rule that the manifes-
tation of the Rotarfans interest in
civics should result in his activity as
an individual or as a member of the
Chamber of Commerce or some other
like organization than in concerted
action in the name Of Rotary Club.
After the regular program Acting
Secretary Emmanuel entertained the
club with the latest Rotary song by
Harry Louder on a Victrola.

The best equipped, organized, and most
efficient BODY of its size in the world is the
United States Marine Corps; the second
best is the Northwest Mounted Police; the
third best, the Pennsylvania State Con-
stabulary."
Mr.. Oswald Garrison Willard, editor OF
the New York Evening Post, wrote: Let
congress look at the marines. 1t is
a service to be proud of. Why? Is It
solelv que to its connection with the navy,
or its constantly seeing foreign service
and going to sea? No; its admirable eff
cheney, the smartness, the neatness and ex>
cellent set-up of the men and the esprit de
corps cannot be so easily explained Sons
one ought to tell us why, someone like a
committee Of congress.
Admiral George Dewey not long ago
wrote of the marines: The work recently
accomplished by the marine corps at Vera
Cruz and in Hayti, fully iustiies my belief
that no finer military organization exists
in the world"
Rear Admiral Cameron McRae Wins
low, u. S. n, testifying before the present
house committee on naval affairs, said: q
am inclined to think there is no military
body in our country of higher efficiency
than the marine corps Their esprit de
corps is very high; they take great pride
in their profession. They never let things
slack off BIT"
To which Representative Britten, of the
house naval committee, added: "When ]
was in Pekin last year, officers of the
various legation guards from all over the
world voluntarily admitted that our marine
corps boys were the most efficient and
came nearer to being fighters and looking
like fighters than any other soldiers il

THE MARINE CORPS.

No naval actions are looked for in thu
war with Mexico. The entire Mexican
navy would hardly be an hours work for
our smallest destroyer, and the guns at the
various Mexican ports are not heavy
enough to call for anything but our second
airy ordnance.
The marines, however, will in all prob
ability be called on to do an important
work in holding the ports and making the
drives inland to pacify the surrounding
country, and this arm of the service is one
of our most efficient members. Witness
the following tributes:
Girard, in his Philadelphia Public Ledger
column, wrote: when A. H. Wetherill
was returning to Philadelphia recently
from big game hunt in Africa, he met on
shipboard a colonel of the English army.
This officer, who impressed Mr.. Wetherill
as being real student of military affairs,
was discussing the merits Of various armies
when he made the startling assertion:

THE WONDER OF THE UNIFORM.

Facing certain death if they fought on,
and knowing that their supply OF ammunl-
ton was not sufficient to enable them to
fight a winning fight, the gallant troopers
of the Tenth battled bravely to the last
cartridge. when the Mexicans were able to
creep up and cut them to pieces.
These were negroes, mind; but they were
also American soldiers, ringed with over
whelning odds; and above the heat and
smoke and thirst of battle, foated fair
vision of red and white, glori1ed with stars
set in heavens own empyrean-a revelation
more splendid than rainbow, which beck
oned them to the Valhalla of their coun-
try's esteem.
And they joked among themselves and
laughed at so trivial a thing as death. And
they burst into song when they saw how
CHASTITY the odds were-nothing hysterlcal
but the songs they sang when at work or
at play. Strange sound for gloomy Latins

sions. Standpat newspapers lauded his
coming as a triumph of the old guard
and praised his speeches. Progressive
leaders were given no recognition and
were pushed into the background.
Hughes solemn silence apparently
gave consent.
Gov. Johnson was completely ig-

called a war council to convene here.
1t is believed that the future action

The increasing incursions of the Bull

well-informed circles to be bringing
Greece appreciably nearer hostilities.
The populace is at fever heat, and
numerous demonstrations of large pro-
portions are being held in favor of a
war on the side of the entente.
These reached a climax yesterday
when a cheering throng estimated at

and calling for an address.
The speech of the former premier
was in the form of advice to the King.

down from his literary workshop up

talk with Gov. Hughes
Beyond assuring the Republican nomi-

White said, no politics were discussed.
No such trouble will develop in Kansas,
he said, as Hughes had to face in Cali
fornia
The Kansan does not agree with the
enthusiasts over in the Sunfower State
that 1t will roll up an old-time Republi-
can majority this year. but he believes
that 1t will be satisfactory. Advices from
Kansas are to the effect that as else
where, about 50 per cent of the Progress
sives are not enthusiastic over Hughes.

In his talk with Mr.. White the candi-

the political situation. and indicated con-

the health officers We're sent up to the
commissioners, recommended but not aD-
proved by Health Officer Woodward DR..
Woodward is not opposed to regulations
with the view of checking the disease,
but he does not believe the present rules
will be of service, because in districts
where paralysis has become an epidemic,
the most drastic regulations have failed
to check it's spread.
DR.. Woodward stated that he thought
the people of the district should be given
the advantage of the best thought and
study by doctors who have occasion to
carefully examine paralysis cases, and
for this reason he recommends the rules.
There Is one thing the health officer
stated he indorses, and it Is for the peo-

President Wilson last night informed
the railway executives that the brother
hood chiefs had refused at last nights
conference to withdraw the strike order
which is dated September l.
The executives held a meeting and dis
cussed the developments without arriV-
ing at any decision. They will confer
with the President at the White House
again this morning.
The refusal of the brotherhood leaders
TO grant the White House request, 1t was
explained. does not mean that the strike
order will automatically become effec-
tive September /. The understanding
among the union officials is that the
operatives will not be called upon to stop
work until a code message Is sent to the
chairmen in their respective home dis
tricts. It remains to be seen whether
President Wilson will succeed in pre-
venting this message being sent out

TO the country at large. including both

asking both sides to sacrifice their own
interests if necessary to the public in

strike may be averted was adopted by

day.
Democratic leaders were given TO un-
derstand the President expects TO be able
