Telling the Truth.

It is not pleasant and profitable
always to tell the truth in the col
umns of newspaper. Men who have
tried this heretofore have always
come. to grief. Only few days ago
the editor of paper in Indiana grew
tired of being called a liar, and an
nounced that he would tell the truth
in the future, and the next issue OF
the paper contained the following
items:
John BONN, the LATEST merchant
in town, made trip to Belleville
yesterday.
John Coyle, our grocer man, is do
ing poor business. His store is
dirty and dusty. How can he do
much?

Dave ,Sonkey died at his home in
this place. The doctor gave it out as
heart failure. Whiskey killed him.
'Married-Miss Sylvan Rhodes and
James Conuin, last Saturday at the
Baptist parsonage. The bride is a
very ordinary town girl, who dosen't
know any more about cooking than a
jack rabbit, and never helped her
mother three days in her life. She is
not a beauty by any means, and has
gait like duck. The groom is an
up-to-date loafer. He has been llY'

elected by accident, was here yester-
day. He has very few friends here

len OF MILITARY AGE in UNITED
STATES AT PRESENT.
Statistics Show That the Available
Men in America of Arm-bearing
Age Reaches Over Twenty Million.

age ReacneS over twenty MlIIIVHs
How many able-bodied citizens OF
military age have we in the United
States?
The bureau of the census, while it
is unable to make any estimate Of the
proportion who are able-bodied, esti-
mates that the total number Of male
citizens and prospective citizens
that is, foreign-born persons who
have declared their intentions to be-
come citizens-1S TO 10 years OF age,
is not far from 21,000,0O0.
This estimate is based on the as
sumption that there has been an in
crease Of approximately 10 per cen.
III the population of the country since
the census of 1910. When that cen
sus was taken the total number OF
male citizens and prospective citizens
IS years of age and over, but under
46, was 1873, 900. Of this number,
14,224,0OO were native white, 1885,
900 were foreign born whites who
had become naturalized or had de-
clared their intention of doing so
100000 were negroes, and $4,000
were Indians. The number OF
foreign-born citizens is partially an
estimate, since the census enumera-
tors were able to obtain information
as to citizenship from only abou.
seven-eighths of the total number Of
foreign born males. Native white
nearly Is per cent, negroes nearly II
per cent, and Indians about three
fourth of l per cent.
During the civil war, when the pop
ulation of the country, exclusive Of
the seeding states, was less than one
fourth as great as the present popu-
lation of the entire United States, the
total number of men serving in the
Federal armies at one time and an
other was approximately 2,500,000
(due allowance being made for dupli-
cate enlistments, that is, cases in
which men enlisted more than once).
The following-table gives, by states,
the total number of males IS to As
years of age enumerated at the cen
sus of 1910. The figures in this table
include approximately 1,796,000 alien
white and $4,000 Chinese, japanese
and others, together representing
about per cent of the total, who
would be ineligible for military SER
vice. The census bureau has not
compiled the numbers of these class
es of the population, within the given
age limits who were living in each
state in 1910. Taking the country as
a whole, however, the probable IN
crease in population between 1910
and 1916 will approximately counter
balance the number Of alien white,
Chinese, japanese, ETC., included in
the figures for 1910, so that these fig
ures may be accepted as roughly
representative of the number of male
citizens and prospective citizens Is
to As years of age, inclusive, in each
state and in the United States in 1915.

years of age, inclusive, 1910:

THE PRACTICAL JOKE .

Before DR.. Haynes had been six
weeks in BishOpsvil1e- everybody was
agreed that there had been some
mystery in his life. Tongues wag in
small communities. DR.. Haynes lived
the life of a recluse; and even the
country people could see that his
knowledge was that of a pTacticed
city operator.
There was the case of Mary Par
sons, the bankers younger child. She
was taken i'll with appendicitis on a
Sunday morning, in the small hours,
and the nearest hospital was Is miles
away. The case was acute, a jour
ney in the car to the railroad station
meant almost certain death. Dr.
Haynes operated in the bedroom, by
the light of an oil lamp, and a week
later Mary was sitting up in bed,
playing with her dolls.
l wonder what the mystery is, Ia
ther?" asked Gladys, the bankers
pretty 2O-year-Old daughter.
1T might be more charitable not
to wonder, dear" answered her
mother.
Nevertheless, the banker and his
family liked Haynes. Mary adored
him. He broke his rule of privacy in
favor Of them. Very occasionally he
would pay them a visit on a Sunday
afternoon. The ParsOnses encOur-
aged the young man. He was so
obviously a gentleman, and he had
been so kind to Mary. And it was
not long before a deeper feeling grew
up between Haynes and Gladys

SEATTLE HINDU STUDENT
 HANGED FOR SEDITI0N

A desire to inc,te a Hindu revolt against English rule in India has led Vishnu Ganesh Pmgley, former Uni versity of Washington and Lincoln high school student to his death. The Associated Press carried a dispatch Friday telling of the execution of Pingley in India, after being convicted of high treason. S. Lai, a former Hindu student at Oregon Agricultural college in Corvallis, aleo was hanged, and Baai Parmara.d, University of California medical student was im- prisoned for life.
 The dispatch, which originally was printed in the Hindustan Cedar in San Francisco, said Pingley was con victeG of carrying bombs and melting native regiment to revolt.

STRIKE INVESTIGATION
MAY BLOCK PRESIDENT
Compulsory Inquiry Main Obstacle
to Railroad Legislative Program,
Is General Belief.

The great stumbling block in the
Presidents railroad legislation pro-
gram as recommended to Congress in
his annual address is the proposed law
for compulsory investigation into dis
putes between the employees and the
roads before any strike or lockout
may be lawfully attempted.
The belief Is growing among some
of the senators on the republican side
that the administration will not at
tempt to put through such a law, both
because of the fact that it might be
held unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court, as violation of the prohibi-
tion against involuntary servitude. and
also because of the opposition of the
labor unions to such a law.
'If the labor unions really believed
that such a law was to be enacted
their Representatives would be swarm
ing about the halls of Congress in their
efforts to defeat it" said one senator
ministration. II 1t puts through any
such measure, will sugarcoat 1t and
make 1t innocuous before 1t is passed.
One Way Is Suggested.
There is one way in which the
whole question of railroad strikes
could be settled effectively. provided
the administration had the courage to
advocate it and the democrats in Con-
gress would support It, A law could
be passed which would make 1t a crime
to interfere with the operation of in
terstate railroad trains.
No railroad employe would give I'D
his job, / am convinced. and go on
strike IL he did not think that the op-
Grafton of the trains could be inter-
fered with practically with impunity.
Such law. therefore. would make for
arbitration of the disputes. The trou-
BILE is. however. that such a law would
be violently opposed by the railroad
brotherhoods. and the administration
knows it,
The senator called attention to the
fact that Senator Newlands of Nevada
offered an amendment making Just
such a provision to the Adamson eight
hour law at the last session of Con-
gress. and that It was defeated by an
overwhelming vote.
