CAPITOL WALLS
STILL BUDGING
Occupants Of State Superin-
tendent's Office Continue
to Have Alarms.
CAR ORDER FROM BOARD
tFrom 4 Staff correspondsnt.)


Lincoln, Sept. 30.-(Special.)-
Some OF the occupants OF the state
superintendent's office were given
fright again this morning over the
condition OF the southeast corner OF
the capitol, which they are afraid may
collapse. 1t was reported that the
walls had settled more Friday night,
cracking the plate glass in one OF the
windows and throwing State En-
gineer Johnson's plumb line out an
inch to the west
Investigation showed the window
had been cracked for some time, but
recent settling had made it more no.
ticeable. Little significance was at
tached to the change in the plumb line
by the state engineer when it was
learned that one OF the supports had
been removed and this was respon-
sible for the change.
Moritz Is Uneasy.
R. D. Moritz OF the educational de-
partment called on Governor More
head and Land Commissioner Beck
mann, whom he urged to have the
southeast section OF the building con-
demned. He thought the state de-
partment should move out OF the of
fices. The officials directed State En-
gineer Johnson to make another ex-
animation and he declared there was
no grave reason for fear at the pres
emf time. IS
The Investigation, however. revealed
that the capitol is in bad condition.

No city in the east has undergone.

people were in n hideouS state of pow

has a population of about 125.0OO and
is rapidly becoming one of the best in
eastern Europe. Alphabetically it has
far more claim to respect than is at
first apparent. The streets, which are

SADDLE IN NAVY.
Out of the IL Ranking Officers In
Charge of Naval Affairs IL
Are From South.

To Josephus Daniels, who has repre-
scented the Administration Policy
with regard to the first line defense, is
credited responsibility for cramping
and thwarting progress and efficiency
in the navy.
Many new men have been brought
into the Washington end of the navy
organization. Of the seventeen high
ranking officers who are charged with
the responsible duties of administering
the affairs of the navy twelve are from
the Southern states. In years gone by
necessity did not arise to question
from what section come the officers
chosen to head the bureaus of the
Navy Department. Comparisons be-
tween the army and navy in this re
spect will show that no such conditions
exist in the war Department.

Efficient Mans Business.

The community has no bribe that
will tempt a wise man. You may
raise money enough to tunnel noun
tain, but you cannot raise money
enough to hire a man who is minding
his own business. An efficient and
valuable man does what he can,
whether the community pays him for
it or not. The inefficient offer their
inefficiency to the highest bidder, and
are forever expecting to be put into
office. One would suppose they were
rarely disappointed. -Thoreau.

Mr.. HUGHES HAS EXPLODED THE
KEPT US OUT or WAR"
ARGUMENT.

Mr.. Hughes attack upon the kept

a storm Of enthusiasm.
"Kept us out of war!' he demands.

American soldiers, shot down at Vera
Cruz, and Many Mexicans We're killed
by our men. That was war More
over, it was very ignoble war. |
have heard three explanations of the
Vera Cruz move.
First, it was explained that it was
made in order to compel somebody
to salute the flag somebody who had
insulted us. But the flag was not sa
luted and has not been to this day.
Then it was said that the salute was
not what we sought, but to prevent
the landing of bOatlOad of ammuni-
ton intended for Huerta. The ammu-
milton landed, however, and it has
been shown that it reached Huerta
in due season without interference OIL
our part.
when that reason was shown to
be untenable a third one-and possibly
the real One-fnally was advanced
1t was said that our seizure of Vera
Cruz was move to compel the retire
ment of Huerta. 1t seems possible
that this is true, although we had
promised the Mexicans that we would,
not interfere in their affairs and told
them more than once that we wanted
them to handle their own affairs.
"That is why the Mexicans could
not understand us and that is why
they show little faith in our promises"
