INDIAN PRINCESS MEETS
FIRST LADY OF THE LAND

Cleveland, o., Jan. 30.-Two
daughters of Pocahontas met here
to-day. One was Princess Go-Wah-
Heah-Doongwa, a full-blooded Mo-
hawk Indian. The other was Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson, wife of the Presi-
dent of the United States.
The Indian Princess came to
Cleveland with her husband and the
Chief of her tribe from the Mohawk
Reservation at st. Regis, N. Y, es-
pecially to meet the first lady of the
land
Princess observation-disclosures
traces her ancestry directly to Poca-
hontas. Hearing that the Presi-
dents bride also is descended from
that famous Indian maiden, she de-
cided to pay her compliments per-
sonally.
Little trouble was experienced in
arranging for the Indian Princess to
meet Mrs. Wilson. When the Presi-
dents wife learned that the Indian
woman had journeyed all the way
here just to meet her, she readily
consented to the interview. Escort
ed by Chief Louis Solomon, her hus-
band, and Chief Thunder Water,
leader of the Mohawk tribe, the In
dian Princess was ushered into the
Presidents suite at a hotel here this
Mrs. Wilson beamed kindly and
stepped. forward and shook hands
with the Indian Princess. The lat
ter, after exchanging greetings,
handed Mrs. Wilson sweet grass
basket which she had made herself.
The Indians were all CARRIED in their
native raiment and afforded a pic
turesque scene as they stood gazing
at the first lady of the land.

n TYPICAL LYNCHING
OF THE USUAL ORDER

The Frankfort State Journal
states the case so successfully that
We do not hesitate to adopt the
words, giving due credit:
"The five negroes lynched near
Albany, Ga, We're suspected of
having been connected with the kill
ing of the Sheriff of Lee county A
sixth, against whom it is believed
there is better case, was not in the
Jail. having been removed for safe
keeping.
Here We have a typical lynching.
The mob did not know that the sus-
poets were guilty, and did not want
to find out the truth. 1t. wanted
the excitement of a killing bee and
got it. The circumstance that the
only suspect whose case looked bad
enough to make the officers think
he should be removed for safekeep-
ing was absen t,didn't matter much.
There was excitement enough in kill
ing the five minor prisoners.
There's an anti-lynching bill now
pending in the Legislature. 1t aims
at preventing just such wanton and
savage acts as that which occurred
in Georgia"

Lexington, KY, Jan. 27.-Offi-
Gals at the Cincinnati Southern

Eubank, who a few days ago receiv-
ed about $11 900 which was award
ed him in a damage suit against the
railroad for personal injuries alleg-
ed to have been sustained while in
its employ, had been robbed or al
most the entire amount the night af-
ter he had received it.
A check amounting to approx,
mately $1,000 was sent to his at
torneys at Danville and was cashed
at one of the local banks in that city,
it is said. After their fee was de-
Quoted, the money was turned over
to holland, it is stated. He made a
few purchases in Danville and left
town shortly after dark. 1t was al
most l o'clock in the morning before
he reached his home at Eubank. He
placed the money under his pillow
and laid his pistol on a chair close
at hand so as to be ready for any
intruder, 1t Is said.
The next morning it was extreme
ly difficult to awaken him. it is said
The discovery was made that the
window screen had been cut away,
the window opened and that every
cent of the money was gone. The
police We're notified and an investi-
cation made. Hustonville blood

but no further trace of the thieves
could be found.
holland thinks that he must have
been chloroformed. Chief of Police

of the circumstances and is now
working on the case. In the stolen
roll were some bills of large denom-
inations-fifties and hundreds COM

FINE WEATHER FOR
NOTHING But DUCKS

Mondays Greensboro Inquirer
says:
Collector Josh T. Griffith and Weir
Griffith, who have been down in Mis-
sissippi on hunting expedition, re-
turned home Sunday afternoon, after
a most thrilling experience. Colllc-
tor Griffith said that the entire coun-
try in which they were hunting was
covered by water, and in some places
1t was higher than was ever known.
He said that the Mississippi river is
on rampage, and that with the rain
which fell Friday and Saturday, I'M
told damage will be done in that
section.
Upon arriving at Yazoo, Mr.. Grif-
fifth said that in order to reach the
camp 1t was necessary for his party
to drive about nine miles through
water and mud that reached the hub
on the wagon wheels. He said that
the water was rising rapidly where
the camp was located, and it was
thought best to leave for home at
once. Mr.. Griffith took a boat and
rode 80 miles to Vicksburg, where
he and Col. Weir Griffith took the
train for home.

Do we all do our best to make our
lives worthy? When the pale boat
man beckons from the other shore
and We set foot on the gunwale of
the phantom craft, can We look back
at the fading past and say truly that
We have done our best all through
life's difficulties? The main trouble
with a question like that is, We usu-
ally have to let other people be the
judges in the matter. The world is
full of critics who, not knowing all
circumstances, are quick to put
blame where in many cases 1t is not
deserved. But the soul that can
say to itself 81 have done my best,
though maybe it wasn't much," and
trusts all to the Great Judge, has
earned the peace that comes to
life well spent.

SENATOR REED SIZES
UP TEDDY ABOUT RIGHT

Washington, Jan. 31.-Senator
Reed. of Missouri, in a speech in the
Senate to-day, attacked Col. Roose-
welt for his attitude toward the Will
son Administration, and praised the
Presidents conduct of foreign affairs
during the European war.
ut is happy thing for this coun-
try" he said, that neither extrem-
lists have been in charge of the Gov
eminent, a happy thing that there
has bAen insistence on American
rights and equally fortunate that
there has not been some hot-headed,
importunate demagogue in the
White House who might have been
persuaded to plunge this country
into war in order to further his own
political fortunes.
MANY men are extremely brave
who have no opportunity to put their
bravery to test. The peaceful banks
of Oyster Bay offer the safest place
in the world from which to issue a
challenge of war"

WILSON MAY INDICATE
INTENTIONS BY FEB. rs

Cleveland, o., Jan. 3O.-President
Wilson may indicate before Febru-
AIRY 20 his intentions about being a
candidate for the Presidency again
in 1916. Under an Ohio law candi-
dates for delegates to the national
convention must indicate their first
and second choices for President be-
fore that date, and must obtain the
consent of their candidates, The
presence here to-day of President
Wilson led to several conferences
between Ohio Democratic leaders
and the situation was laid before
Secretary Tumulty.
No decision as to what steps the
President will take was reached to-
day. but the subject will be discuss
ed later this week at meeting of
the State Democratic Committee. Up
to the present Mr.. Wilson has not
indicated even to his closest friends
whether he expected to run again.
He has taken the position that the
people themselves should determine
the question. All the campaign
plans of the Democratic leaders,
however, are being laid on the sup
position that he will be their candl-
date.

A cry comes from the European
battlefields for Kentucky tobacco.
During other wars in that country
tobacco was issued as part of the
soldiers daily rations, but it is said
that at the present time this is i'm
possible. The claim is made on be-
half of the soldiers that tobacco
steadies the nerves, takes the place
of stimulants and food and is the
only thing which allays for time
the sickening stencil OF putreiication
which pervades the battlefelds." 1t
is a simple but earnest demand. BY
all means the soldiers should have
their tobacco.

If it wasn't for the enormous sal
airy budget connected with the Ken
lucky Children's Home at Louis
vile, it would appeal more to the
people of the State as a really char
liable institution. The superintend-
ent receives a salary of $4,000 a
year-more than any Official in the
State except Governor. 1t, is said
that the salary list amounts to half
of the $4,000 year that it costs
TO support the Home. The poor lit
tie children who are used as an ap-
peal for money apparently get only a
small portion of the big maintenance
fund. 1t would seem that if there is

War and War Mfations
Are Still Important Factors

dustrial activity; demand for commo-
dities in almost all directions exceed
ing supply as result of the waste of
war. The scarcity of food is empha-
sized by efforts of European govern
ments to control supplies, to keep down
prices and to avert consequent public
discomfort In our own country the in
creased cost of food threatens social and
political disturbance; and no relief can
be anticipated until the netx harvest.
Consumer Pays the Bills
1t matters little whether the farmer or
the middleman is gaining most by high
prices. The consumer is paying the
bills, and relief can only be obtained
by increased production or decreased
consumption, the latter merely partial
means of relief through economy or
substitution. The same condition of
scarcity exists in other divisions of in
dustry than agriculture, even in more
marked degree; though the effects are
less disturbing than when the human
stomach begins to suffer. Steel prices
have again been advancmed and steel
rails, which nobody eats but everybody
uses, touched $40, rise of So. As re-
suit the upward movement in steel
shares received fresh impetus. Copper
also advanced into higher attitudes; cot
ton followed in the same track, and so
the circle continues its unbroken swing
AS before said, there is nothing yet in
sight to stop this rise in commodities
except exhausted buying power or in
creased supplies, neither of which are
much in evidence at this time. Never
theless, reactionary symptoms are not
wholly absent. Increased costs are al
ready having the double effect of EN-
phasizing producers returns. In al
probability abnormal profits have about
reached their zenith; the increased
costs of labor, materials, transportation
etc. being an offset of growing impOr
| tance. A fresh complication developed
this week in the constitutionality of tn,
Adamson railroad bill in the Suprem,
Court of the United States, the outcom,
of which must remain in doubt fol
weeks to come. A strike, however
seems improbable, for the reason that i
would incur widespread public disapro
val and both sides are interested il
having the law interpreted by the high
est authority in the land.
The two sets of conditions unde
which this market is operating may b,
summarized as follows: In favor of al
advance: continuance of the war, higl
prices for commodities, big profits O.
munition industrials, abundant capita
and credit, clearer domestic politica
outlook and rising speculative fever
Against the advance: insistent insid
liquidation, pressure of foreign holding

consumers and danger of internationa
complications. With such a conflicting
outlook, the market promises sharp fluc
