FINANCIAL status
The club closes the year with debts
aggregating not quite $780,. as COM
pared with an Indebtedness of $2,1OO
one year ago and more than $4,000
when the retiring administrations as
sumed charge. Counterbalancing this
Indebtedness are dues collectable and
considered good totaling $1,000, not
including payments due January /,
two weeks hence. The club for several
years has labored under a burden of
Indebtedness for which no one was
particularly to blame, but whose de-
pressing effect has been noticed. Now
this burden has been practically wiped
out, and the club is in position where
every dollar subscribed can be set at
work, doing something for the city.

If the hundreds of hobos which are
daily calling at the back doors of the
homes of this country were placed
under arrest and sent to some mill
tary headquarters and pressed into
service it would rid the country of a
lot of undesirables and would save
hundreds of the young men of thrift
from service. There is scarcely an
able bodied young man in all the land
but what is willing and ready to
serve his country, except the able
bodied hobos who don't want to do
anything.

OLDER BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength building and blood-nourishing
properties of SCOTS Emulsion which is a
food, tonic and medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's.

WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN

Following the Chicago conventions
and the announcement that Roose-
welt had resigned brought forth some
speculation as to what might happen
If the Bull Moose vice presidential
nominee would continue in the race.
The result might be that Republic
can president and a Democratic vice
president would be elected. That
has happened, once, in 1897 when
John Adams, Federal. was elected
president and Thomas Jefferson on
the opposition ticket, vice president.

Events Of Washington, D. c.,
Are Reported by Telegram's
Correspondent There.

WASHINGTON. April 15.-Judge
George W. Atkinson retired from
the United States Court Of Claims to-
day, having reached the age OF
retirement and having served the re-
quisite ten years. He goes on the
rolls with full pay-s6,000 a year
for the balance of his life. a meet
ing OF the Washington Bar Associa-
ton was held today at which eulo-
CYSTIC addresses were delivered by
prominent members Of Judge Atkin-
SON as a man and as a judge, and
suitable resolutions were adopted.
The newspapers of the capital
have honored the retiring jurist with
complimentary sketches carrying his
picture, and state that Judge Atkin-
SON is going to return to West Vir-
ginia to become candidate for the
Republican nomination for United
States senator. In that statement,
they have spoken without authority,
revamping>an ancient rumor that. so
far as West Virginians here are con-
cerned, he was long since given a
promp yet decent burial. At one
time, which was some months ago,
when there was no announced candi-
dates for that party plum, Judge At
kinson was importuned by not few
friends to quit the bench and make
the race. He declined to seriously
consider the suggestion. He stated
then that he had pledged his personal
support to Ex-Governor Albert
Blakeslee White. But that was the
least important reason for him de
clining to do as some OF his friends
suggested.
It is more than probable that tn
Washington reporters got the sena
torship mixed with the probabilit.
of Judge Atkinson becoming the par
tvs nominee for the House of Repre-
sentatives in the new Sixth district
There is reason to believe that Judg
Atkinson is seriously considerin
that. There has been numerous re
quests received by him from infiuer
tiai party men in the Charleston di'
trict that he should undertake to b
the candidate for that office. and
