EDITOR IN BAD

The old Indian mentioned in the fol
lowing story had apparently a fair
idea of what an editor is up against:
An Oklahoma editor tells of an old
Indian that came to his office to sub
scribe for the paper. The editor took
the money, then the Indian wanted "a
receipt. The editor tried to talk him
out of it but Mr.. Indian insisted on
getting the receipt. After making 1t
out the editor wanted to know why he
was SO persistent about wanting a
receipt. The Indian said: me die
sometime. Go to big gate and st.
Peter ask if | been good Indian. say
yes. He say did you pay debts? l
say yes. He say did you pay editor for
paper? / say yes. He say where Is
receipt? | no have it | have to run
all over hell to find you and get re-
ceipt."

In the American Magazine Ex-Sena-
tor Burton of Ohio, says: "a good
memory is an almost ~incalculable asset
to any young man starting out on his
LIES work. The power to recognize
faces, to recall names, to bring back
into ones conscious mind facts or fig
ures that are pertinent to any subject
that may arise-all this can be made
a great part of ones personal capital
stock"

Warren Road Drag
The appearance of Mr.. Sherwin's
implements was not the first move to-
ward manufacturing in B%rookings. A
few years ago the celebrated Warren
Road Drag" was put on the market
and has been enjoying a wide sale. The
drag is of all steel construction and it's
maker claims for it the title that it is
"the only drag on the market that will
actually fill up a hole in the road"
The drag is manufactured by the
Bookings Machine Shop, of which j.
w. Warren is the proprietor. This
drag differs from the ordinary drag in
that it can, by means of a lever, be
laid down as fat as a board and
smooth over the rough places. In the
manufacture of the drag Mr.. Warren
not only saw possibilities of a good
business along that line but he had
the vision that the prosperous town is
always found where the most good
roads end. Mr.. Warren is a good
roads booster and in summing up his
opinion of the value of good roads he
said:
Everyone knows that roads deter
mine the character and progress of a
community. A country that is not
worthy a good road is not worth living
in. Conditions have become such that

Paw the Guardsmen.

Another day has passed without the District
Cuardsmen at Camp Ordway being paid their
salaries. The men should have been paid two
weeks ago and each day since then their I'M
patience has increased So far no public criti-
eism has been made for the men are under mill
tary discipline, but there has been steadily
increasing murmur of discomfort in the camp.
Public sympathy will be with the soldiers.
Prvates receive only SIS month, Just enough
to defTay the small expenses of smoking tobacco,
car fare and the costs of night or two IN town.
A large number OF the men were broke when
they went into camp three weeks ago and since
then these unfortunates have been without even
the few small luxurics of the soldier
1t is natural that resentment should follow
denial of even these small things before the
long trip to the border. Relatives and friends
of the soldiers are beginning to share this resent
mcnt. But the worst feature of the situation is
due to a rumor that is gaining credence among
some of the men in the camp.
This rumor says that officers are purposely
delaying payment of salaries for fear large
number of the men will come to Washington,
indulge in what is called big night and van
ish. This rumor is not to be credited. The class
of at Camp Ordway is of too high char
acter for them to be regarded as potential de-
serters by their superior officers.
The explanations of officers that the delays
in salary payments have been due to red tape
and other unavoidable causes will be accepted
as true and the officers may be relied upon to
deliver the pay envelopes as soon as possible.
The Washington herald., 1916-07-15
Did Tirpitz Obey Orders?

A newspaper correspondent in Amsterdam has
learned from "an absolutely authentic source in
Berlin" that the Kaiser, after learning of the sink
ing of the Lusitania, exclaimed:
my Cod my God, that did not intend"
The correspondent tells the story with marked
attention to detail, relating how the Kaiser con-
versed a telephone with Tirpitz and how,
when the man behind the submarine warfare con-
hrmed news of the Lusitanias destruction, the
Emperor sank back in his chair as if stricken
by thunderbolt"
ished Tirpitz:
"Such a thing must never, never happen
again"
The correspondent undoubtedly obtained his
story "in Berlin" and it is of particular interest
now when reports of plans for the renewal of the
U-boat warfare daily reaching this country.
The American people may be curious to know
more about the absolutely authentic source" Of
the story
The has shown that there are men in
Berlin who are masters of the art of the press
agent. Only recently they again revealed their
skill by first giving to the world the story of the
biggest naval battle of the war and creating the
popular belief that the German fleet was vic
torious. The tardy British reports have not yet
dispelled that belief in some quarters
lhere is reason to believe this recent Amster
dam dispatch may have come from source SINH
lar to that of the German naval victory.
Doubt as to the authenticity of the story is
created by the events following the destruction of
the Lusitania.
The Lusitania sunk May 7, 1915. On
June 28 the Armenian suffered similar fate, car
rying down eleven Americans. On August 10 the
Arabic was sent down by a U-boat and two
Americans lost their lives On November the
Ancona carried down nine Americans, victims Of
torpedo from submarine. On March "A, 1916,
the Sussex was torpedoed and one American was
KILLED and several injured.
The deaths of these Americans have stamped
these facts indelibly on American minds and
Americans may find it difficult to reconcile these
facts with those in the dispatch from Amsterdam

places Of influence and other ambitions
were forcing men who were inconspiou-
Gus when Buchanan went TO Russia into
positions OF authority.
Buchanan, therefore, deeply despond.
ent, went TO his home in Lancaster, Pa.
He cast about him to discover. IL possi-
Bile. where he could best gain new prac-
lice as a lawyer. Some friends said to
him that II he were TO open an Office IN
Baltimore he would in all probability
speedily gain profitable practice.
One day Buchanan met his friend, ST.
mon Cameron, who was then OF much in
huence in Democratic politics in Penn
sylvania. Buchanan confessed to Cam
eron that he saw no future for himself
in politics and there was only left TO him
the resumption OF the practice Of law.
He had therefore decided to go to Balti-
more and open a law ofice.
Thereupon Simon Cameron cheered Bu-
chanan up. He told him to abandon any
idea of leaving Pennsylvania. He went
SO far as to say that he would do all
that lay in his power to open again the
door which led to political advancement
Buchanan did cheer up. He began 10 see
visions that gave him great hope. Cam
eron kept his word and, a year later. Bu-
chanan was elected United States Sen
ator and then reelected, and, afterwaro
was secretary Of state in President Polk s
administration, then minister 10 England
and while in that service was nominated
for the Presidency.
