A 1914 Exhibit

ut Is interesting to note the re-
suits from 10 States in which Republi-
cans were not successful in the 1914
election these being representative
States in different sections of the
country. In the total votes cast in
these the Democrats won by plural
ity of less than 100000. In 1912 the
Democratic plurality in these same
States was more than 100000. A
very small percentage Republican gain
would have put three of these States
into the Republican column, as an in
crease of little more than 5000 Re-
publican votes would have carried Ne
braska, Colorado and Maine with their
20 votes in the Electoral College.
Every election, special or other
wise, since 1912 las shown a steady
drift toward the Republican party"
declared Mr.. Warren. I'm the sena-
torial and congressional elections of
two years ago the Republicans carried
% States, which would give them a
clear majority of % electoral votes
This did not include 10 States for
which the Republicans are fighting
this year-California, Montana. Ne
vada, Arizona, Nebraska, South Da-
kota, Oregon, Missouri, Kentucky and
Indiana. The total electoral vote in
these 10 States is 81. The Repubh-
cans are pretty sure to carry practi-
cally all of these States, but IL you
add only a third of this vote to the
2SS from States carried in 1914 it
makes the electoral vote for Mr.
Hughes in the neighborhood of 817,
although i think 1t will go higher"

Burning so Years.

Lansford, Pa, Feb. 1.-The famous
mine fire, which has been raging now
for more than sixty years, and which
started at Summit Hill, near the spot
where Phillip Ginter discovered an
thracite coal in 1871, has burned
through the immense concrete wall
which the Lehigh Coal and Naviga-
ton Company sank in front of il, deep
down into the earth, several years
ago, at cost of more than a million
dollars. Ii is now threatening the
mammoth vein in the Panther creek
valley, the largest and richest vein of
anthracite in the world.

OVER TWO HUNDRED
llIDSHIP MEN TO RESIGN
One Fourth Entire Membership
Fail to Pass Half Yearly
Examinations.

Annapolis, Md, Feb. 1.-Two hun
dred and twenty midshipmen or about
one-fourth of the entire membership
at the Naval academy, will be asked
to resign because of their failure to
pass the half yearly examinations.
Many midshipmen claim that these
examinations were much harder than
usual, but this is denied by the in
structUrs.
The number of failures in each
class is said to be as follows: First
or graduating class, 20; second, 60;
third go; fourth 80.
One explanation OF the large num-
Der of failures is that instructors have
been forbidden to indicate in any
way to the midshipmen the character
of the examination. The court of in
quiry which investigated the scholas-
tic methods of the academy recon-
mended the adjustment OF the
dope" system, as it was called, and
an order forbidding the use of any
kind OF special help followed.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH
Is Rapidly Out.GrOwing Its
Temporarily HOSee cf
Worship

The Second Baptist church has is
sued its Year Book for 1916, which
shows that this youngest church in
the city is making a steady and sub
stantial growth under the pastoral
care of Rev. w. r. Goodman. It
now has $50 members, about 80 men,
bers having been added under the
ministry of Mr.. Goodman. The Sun
day School, of which Frank Boyd is
superintendent, is in a thriving condi-
ton, with an enrolment of 200
pupils and the attendance last
Sunday was 1870. 1t is probably
the only Sunday School in the
city in which there are more scholars
than the church has members. The
church is occupying a building that
is intended to be the Sunday school
room when the plans are fully car
ried out and larger building erected
on the front of the lot on the corner
of Seventh street and Kentucky ave-
nue.. The needs of the church for
room make ii imperative that the new
building be put up without much de-
lay.

THE BEE LINE MARKER.

NNNF IVY p = = 80 " W. p wv"
We are inclined to agree with the
Henderson Cleaner that the objection
of the G. A. r. veterans to the Dixie
Bee line marker is unfortunately
taken. The Cleaner says:
It is indeed a surprise to note that
any objection was raised to the mark
err for the Dixie Bee line.
The marker was a striking design,
giant eagle carrying the crossed flags
of the North ard Of the South, with
the words, United in this Great
, Cause"
No trace Of sectional feeling crept
into the meetings of the delegates
from Dixie and from the Yankee
country. All rejoiced that boundary
lines were to be wiped out, old ami
mosities buried and the north and
south united in this great work of
progress.
But the Bee line builders reckoned
without the old soldier of the G. A. r.
With them the war is not really over
and will never be over until taps
sound for the last old veteran. They
live in the past and at every reunion
and meeting of Grand Army Post
they live over the bloody battles of
the sixties.
These old soldiers registered such
vigorous protests against crossing the
two fiags that the idea mad 10 be
abandoned.
1t would have been less surprising
had objections come from the confed-
crate veterans for it is the veterans of
Dixie land who have reason to cherish
bitterness. They lost their homes
and their cause, but they are good
philosophers and pretty good Chris
tians as well.
We commend them to the consider
alton of the soldiers of the G. A. R.
who live on the Dixie Bee line.
Asa newspaper published in Yankee
land we commend the sentiment and
the spirit of the Cleaner editorial
printed in Dixie ten miles away.
For four years the confederate flag
represented a cause and cause which
we could not accept. But when the
war was over the flag no longer rep
resented principles but memories of
heroism and sacrifice and suffering
and those memories we cherish and
honor and revere. They are part of
our common American heritage, and
we of the North claim participation in
them with the South. y d
1t was representatives Of these feel
ings of the past that the confederate
flag was intertwined with that other
emblem which stands for our grandeur
of the present and our hope of the
future. For that reason we believe
the emblem was both beautiful and
appropriate. Evansville Courier.
