umbrage, they even conceive and
 circulate lies about their victim If they think they can do so without erdang sring their own rotten hides. It is net only women who gossip.
 There was time, two or three score Icf years ago-there were men in thoas days-.when males of the
 human species considered t beneath them to gossip. But not 50, today. Scne of the most active buzzards of society today are clad in male attire.
 These go about, as pr. Cox says, with their nostrils open. They are ever cn the alert to scent even the faintest ocor of scandal. They are not par ticular whether the scent is genuine CT just the odor of another of their kind.
 Women are the particular victims
 ,. these skunks. They know they can circulate evil rumQrs with greater sofety about women, because an evil
 Mport concerning a woman seldom reaches the ears of her male rela- tives. When 1t does, and there IS effort to place the responsibility, it is then the buzzard shows himself the craven poltroon he is. He will either beg or lie out of his dilemma, anxious only to save his carcass, reeking with carricn of his own mind.
 Mr. COX recited a personal experl- ence in attempting to trace an evil report concerning a friend. The circulator sought refuge behind q heard" and "they say,' those bull warks of the coward, and pleaded tttat no step be taken to disclose his part in the attempt at character assassination. The experience of MT. Cox was similar to that of all others Who have sought to place responsibil its. It is no wonder that some men, angered by the outrage, do not seek to trace an evil report. They can hardly be blamed for wreaking ven- geance upon the first offending bug xards with which they come in con tact.
 It is difficult to suppress these Human skunks, who go about offend ing all decent people with their of- fensive emission of vile rumor, but l if they could be. branded so that all self-respecting people would shun them their tribe would decrease. 1 Pine Bluff is afflicted with some ef tAese, and when their work is con- sldered 1t is difficult ito agree with kipling that 'the female of the species is more deadly than the male." The character assassin. male q female, is more dangerous than .he serpent: more offensive than the skunk; more filthy than the buzzard. Fte-or she-soon becomes known for what Ae-'or she really is, and is 'egarded with contempt by all re- 'psctable people.
 Te the thoughtless careless purvey- 'r of gossip, it is suggested that be- ere circulating an evil report, they ponder the questions pr. Cox urged each should ask himself or herself:
 First: Is it true?
 Second: Is it needful?
 Third: Is it kind?
 If a report-not rumor-cannot

THE BUzzARD OF SOCIETY.

"The Sin of Gossip" was discussed Sunday evening. December 26, by Pastor w. J. E. Cox of the First Bap- tit church, who took for his text the eleventh verse of the fourth chapter Ao. James:
 Speak not evil one of another,
 brethren. He that speaketh
 evil of his brother. end judgeth
 his brother, speaketh evil of
 the law, and judgesh the law:
 but if thou judge the law, thou art not doer of the law, but
 2 judge.
 MT. COX pointed out the harm of idle gossip, even though not malici- Ors; and severely scored the vice of gusslr circulated through malice and Scnvya He said:
 Some seem to find joy in
 circulating an evil report about
 their neighbcrs, especially if
 ahey are above them socially. The minister denounced the sandal mongers, comparing them t' bhxxards with noses always open to dttect tie odof of social carrion. Although MT. Cox did not use it, he z inight have quoted the 18th verse ol < fhe fourth ehaptsr Of James:

OUR BRIGHTEST SCHOLARS.


 It is rather disconcerting to learn from high authority in education, one who has seemingly shuffled the statistics, that the American boy is rot as clever as he has been cracked up to, be.
 He refers, of course, to the native American boy as distinguished from those born in America from foreign parents, or brought over the seas with them. sst
 His deduction is-and it is deduc' |tion that coincides with that of d great, many others--that the native american boy is partly spoiled. He has been delivered to life of com parative ease. He thinks his future |will be fixed for him ii only he pro- gresses in easy fashion. and having 8 pretty good time as he goes along. It seems that for . long time the buys of Russian Jews who came to America were most eager to learn They studied hard, were bright and jlearned rapidly. And they produced some records that stand out glowing y in American achievements. They built up great businesses, founded huge industries. became noted artists poets aud musicians.

Ypu will never have anything unless ycu save something. You cannot ess your cake and have it, too.
 The same might be said regarding this country and the waste of its natural resources. According to the scientific report of the United States Geological Survey, there is one-half as much coal wasted in America as is. marketed. With regard to petro-S letni, says the report, '.the situation is a good deal more serious. Petro-. 1eum has been used for less than thirty years, and it is estimated that the supply will last about twenty-five or thirty years longer. If production is s.curtailed and waste stopped, it may last till the end of the century. In natural gas the waste is enormous. One hundred million cubic feet are estimated to be wasted into air every twenty-four hours. The gas supply will last about twenty-five years" Wherever we turn we encounter waste. Each individual, however, can help to counteract this thfiftless spirit by being careful. Now, at the be- ginning of a new year, is an oppor- tune time to resolve to become saver .of;. time. health and money,

A GREAT SCHEME

w. Y. Morgan says of the govern
ment's scheme to loan money to
Carranza:
There will be some DIRECTORS. The
soldiers now on the border and their
families and friends will look with
suspicion on such a method of equip
ping the Mexican army which am
bushes and snipes American sol
diers. They will say that perhaps,
yes probably, these guns purchased
with our money will shoot ammu-
mutton purchased with our money,
at our soldiers. But the answer is
easy. If such a contingency arises
the president or Mr.. Lansing can
write note.
1t does seem though that instead
of loaning money it would be easier
and would accomplish the same re-
suit II our troops on the border
would hand over their guns to Car
rama. Ab u lOdu, VI NOuioO, " DC
paid back when convenient. The
troopers of the Tenth cavalry could
thus supply the Carranzistas who
ambushed them with better guns
than they had when they killed
Captain Boyd, Lieutenant Adair
and the other American soldiers.
This would show proper loving
spirit and would enable the cam
paign argument to continue, che
has kept us out of war" 1t would
be helpful to turn over those OF our
machine guns which work, for the
Mexicans have found the machine
guns handy. We can't give them ae-
roplanes, because the army has
none, but a cash loan would enable
Carranza to supply himself with
air scouts.
The beauty of this policy will be
appreciated by all who like it. In
the event that war should come
later between the United States
and Mexico we would at least know
that the Mexicans were prepared
whether we were or not.
oh, Gee!

SENSE in DOUGLAS

Down in Douglas county the citi-
zens did a mighty fine thing. The
county is divided into two districts
and always there has been a fierce
fight for member of the legislature
in each. Usually the districts have
elected men of opposite parties on
ly after lot of feeling has been en-
gendered. This year representatives
/ Of both met and talked things over.
They agreed that the Republicans
should run a man in one district
and the Democrats one in the other
each without opposition and that is
being done, two good men having
been chosen. This means that the
two elected will work together and
the county be we'll represented in
the legislature.
Being a member of the legisla-
ture today means less politically
than ever-it means business for
the state and there is needed the
kind of men who are successful in
business at home. The state de-
mands systematic spending of it's
money and far more cooperation
than ever before in order to obtain
the things the state needs at a
minimum of expense and maxi
mum of service. A reorganization of
the states management is coming
one of these days and when It is
done the people will wonder how
they allowed the old system to re-
main in force so long. To do this
will call for talent of the highest
quality and for making the bust
ness of the state take on the same
quality of service that other lines
of business maintain.

Estimates are freely made that
Governor Capper will have $4,000
to 100000 majority at the coming
election and the prediction seems
safe. No governor can please ev-
erybody but Arthur Capper has
given a general satisfaction to the
people of Kansas seldom obtained
by a chief executive. This has been
because he has looked upon the
governors office as a duty and a
matter of state business and has
endeavored to secure efficiency is
every department of state with the
lowest possible cost. The result is
that thousands of citizens who hon
estly disagreed with him in past
years on matters of political be-
life have recognized that his ideas
of government are those of a
straightforward American who de-
mands that there shall be the same
personal interest in state affairs as
in private business and who has
been on the job from the day of his
Inauguration. The result is that they
trust Governor capper and want TO

LOANS TO CARRANzA

The latest vision from Washing
ton is that the administration pro-
poses to loan our present pet ban
dit, Carranza. several million dol
lars to establish himself in Mexico.
AS a borrower Carranza would be
about the worst possible bet. His
money is worth now about five
cents on the dollar or ten cents a
bale; the Mexican bonds issued UNI
der Diaz. the most stable admins
tration Mexico ever had are worth
about thirty cents on the dollar.
Carranza has not kept his word in
any particular since he was recog-
nized by President Wilson and there
is nc evidence that he is strong
enough to manage Mexico. Indeed
the latest news is that he is threat
ened by the other pet bandit, villa.
with loss Of the whole northern
section OF the republic. 1t was bad
enough to furnish unlimited rounds
OF ammunition to the various pet
bandits with which to shoot Ameri-
can troops, but now to loan the
money Of American banks-the de-
posits of American depositors-to
as shaky an outfit as the Carranza
government would be the climax OF
administration foolishness. How
ever, maybe a few more blunders
more or less in the handling OF
Mexico will not make much differ
ence to Wilson-he will be out OF
1t in a few months anyhow.

Giant Under Water Craft First OF
Fleet of Submersibles to be
Used for Atlantic
Traffic

Baltimore, July 1.-THE daring
seamen who brought the German
submarine Deutschland across the
Atlantic slept quietly last night
aboard their vessel, which lay moor
ed to a carefully screened pier
guarded by a strong squad of Bal
timore police. Captain Paul Koenig
the skipper, had delivered his papers
to the North-G German Lloyd office
entered his vessel at the customs
house as a commerce carried. The
return merchandise is waiting on
the dock and the time for leaving
port will depend largely upon plans
for eluding vigilant enemy cruisers
expected to be waiting outside the
entrance to Chesapeake bay for the
temperance of the vessel.
One of Captain Koenig's fris'
acts after he moved his ship up the
harbor from Quarantine was to an
nounce that the Deutschland is but
one of a fleet of mammoth submer'
sibles built or building for a regu-
lar transatlantic freight and mai
service.
II was an undersea joy ride. Pau
Koenig, skipper of the worlds first
deep diving merchantmen, told Of
how his Deutschland played heI
pretty game of hide and seek with
a navy which does not appreciate
German humor.
