Columbia Man Awarded Carnegie
Hero Medal.

A Carnegie medal for bravery has
been awarded to William Logan, ct
Columbia for saving Charles N.
Starnes, then a farmer, from an en-
ragged bull on June II, 1915. At the
time of the incident Logan was an
employe Of Epworth Orphanage.
An enraged bull in lot CT the
Epworth Orphanage, had Charles NJ.
Starnes down and was in the act of
goring him when William Logan, an
emplOye Of the orphanage marble
yard, who was passing by at the time,
went to the rescue. Logan drove the
bull off Of Starnes and the bull pro-
ceeded to attack him. In the mean-
time q spectator who had gone after
a shot gun handed it to Starnes who
shot the bull.
An eye witness describes it as q
terrible fight, lasting fully ten min
utes. Logan was in bed six or eight
weeks after the incident and Starnes
has not yet entirely recovered from the
effects Of his experience. Starnes, who
says he has no further use for bulls,
has been in the merchandise business

While the instructions sent by Sec

Granting of the use of the Mexican
railways to the expenditionary force.

On the acceptance Of these conf

would agree not to penetrate farther
south than a line to be agreed on, and
that they could consent to withdrawal
Just as soon as they should receive
adequate assurance that Villa follow

The reception to the visiting Mexi-

AGAINST ENLISTING. - Three
cheers for Meyer London, the Social
list from New York, for voting
against a bigger army. The people
of the U. S. have at last got one man
in Washington who will vote for hui
manity and not for the flag, honor
and all such bunk. What is the use
going to war, fighting and dying, for
a flag when you can have all you
want for 10 cents a flag. What is
the use to go to war to fight and die
for a country when you do not own
one inch of the land in this country.
Let US use a little horse sense.
The parasites are making a big
noise about 100 Americans being
killed by Villa bandits, but have my
doubts about the report, because I
know Villa and have talked to him
several times, and l think he is too
much of a gentleman to do such
deeds as the yellow press says he has
done. 49,.

SUBSTANCE. e. Some Forumists
write about something governing
nature taking vengeance on people.
This talk of something more than
everything is quite childish. We can
imagine part as creating and gov
erning other parts, but not creating
and governing the whole. Imagina-
ton doesn't extend that far, and yet
we prattle about unimaginable
things.
The question correctly stated is:
Did a part of the universe create and
does it govern the other parts? Such
a phenomenon as something Great
ing something else from nothing is
not now observed. We see some
parts modifying, assembling, uniting
or reforming other parts. For in
stance, we see artisans assembling
lumber, brick, stone, iron, cement
into a house, giving new form to old
forms, but never making anything
without material In other words
creation relates to form only, never
to substance. Our individual exis-
tence is formed from pre-existing
substance and is added to by what
we eat, drink, inhale and absorb.
Something from nothing is a trick, a
seeming, not a reality. Again, scien-
lists tell US that substance cannot be.

Aere and in Mexico, but such is the
folly of war,
In wars the strong nation always
takes advantage of the weak, robs
them, allows the capitalists to en-
slave them, and gives soldiers the
privilege to ask the capitalists Tor
whose gain they fought for a job.
After their enlistment runs out,
sometimes the soldier gets the job, as
England's soldiers got jobs after the
Boer war. Such is the glory of being
a soldier.
The papers are chuck full of the
horrible atrocities" committed by
bandits on the border. I am of the
opinion that the news is so much
twisted and cOlored, so as to get the
public heated up to the point where
it will clamor for war and induce
young men to enlist for service, while
the capitalists sit down and wait I'M
til all is over and then goes down
and gets the reward in the shape of
mines, railroads and millions of acres
of valuable land, literally robbing the
inhabitants.-Gus Schneider, 4710 N.
