II the products Of American inventions
could be taken from the armies and navies
now confronting each other In, Europe, the
combatants would stand naked, ufshod, UNI
fed and poweriess.
The grain that feeds them was W
reaped. threshed and ground by American
inventions. The clothing for their vast
armies was put together by American sew
ing machines. The cotton in It was separ-
ated by an American cotton sin, Their
shoes are made by American machines.
AS to the weapons, the revolver is an
American invention, the breechloading gun
is an American invention, the magazine
gun is On American invention. The iron
clad, the revolving turret, the torpedo, are
American inventions. The submarine is an
American invention.
The electric light in camp and trench,
the telephone that reports and takes or
ders, the telegraph that calls for supplies,
the cable that hooks up ally and ally are
all American.
The barbed wire that defends the
trenches, the tanks that override them, the
|airplane that reconnoiters and fights above
them are American inventions. And when
the wounded are retrieved, the chloroform
that makes accurate surgery possible is an
American discovery. And finally the ambu.
lances that carry the Wounds to the hos
pitfalls are motor cars from Detroit.
America has given great gifts to
Europe. But she has one more gift--her
greatest--yet to give. Her other gifts have
been material gifts and they have been
given unfortunately to the nations wbo
are fighting for democracy and those who
are fighting against 1t.
Americas greatest gift to Europe is the
blood Of Americas youth, shed for democ-
'racy.
Unless America gives Men to Europe, all
her other gifts are a mockery.

SO says WilliSm Cullen Bryant While
many a church dedging reprobate has uSed
this quotation to palliate his Sunday fishing
trip, the Santa Fe Railroad company uses
it to good effect on still another new and
most attractive folder devoted to the lure
of the Southwests great outofsdoore--and
particularly Santa Fe.
This folder, "A New One-Of the Beaten
Path in New Mexico and A~rizonap--with
a splendid map of Gods country from Ration
to the Grand Canyon, showing all the trails,
and some selected views including Burro
Alley in Santa Fe and Ruggles with a
couple of dead lions in the bailiwlck of
Ashley Pond-is being distributed to 1000
ticket agents in the country. 1t is a beauty.
1t is according to itself "A folder that tells

Austin, Texas. Aug. 23.-The Texas
House Of Representatives tonight, by a
vote of 50 to 81 adopted resolution to
present to the Senate articles of impeach-
ment against Gov. James E. Ferguson.
A committee of nine was appointed imme-
diately to draw up articles of impeach-
ment and report the articles to the House

The action was taken as a result Of the
investigation of 10 charges filed by Speaker
F. o. Fuller, against the Governor, alleg-
ing illegal acts in office.
Much Of the stir which caused the in
vestigation resulted from the Governors
attitude toward the university. He OBJ
jected to President r. E. Vinson. as head
of the school. and to certain members
of the faculty and attempted to GUST
them.
Other charges against the Governor were
that he failed to pay back to the State,
as promised. funds appropriated for Incl
dentals at the executive mansion. but
spent 1t for groceries, meats, vegetables
and automobile accessories; that he vio-
lated the banking laws by taking large
loans from the Temple State bank in
which he was stakeholder: that he de-
posted State funds in the Temple bank
for own benefit; that he Incorporated
State funds to pay personal obligations
and that he sought to influence Speaker
Fuller by extending him a long time loan.

tor. fixed anthracite prices for producers
and jobbers and set limit on profits to be
made by bituminous wholesalers.
The Anal step will be to make regula-
lions for coal distribution and to fix
anthracite and bituminous retail prices
This will be done when q distribution pro-
gram ia perfected and when the federal
trade commission has completed a plan
under which retail profits may be fixed.
The anthracite prices fixed effective
September l are virtually the same as
those now charged at the mines under a
arrangement made by producers
with the trade commission. The prices that
may be charged by jobbers. however. will
reduce present costs sharply. Bituminous
jobbers profits, too, will be cut by the new
price scale set for wholesale transactions.
The prices range from a to $3.50 per
ton t2240 pounds). +. o. b. mines.
SCALE OF PRICES.
The anthracite scale for railroad owned
mines. which include practically all the
big producers, follows:
White Ash. broken, BASS: egg A45;
stove $40; chestnut $3.50; pea 81; Red
Ash. broken. N.75; egg A.65; stove $3.50;
chestnut $3.50; pea A10; Lykens Valley.
broken, IS; egg 1870: stove $3.50; chestnut
$3.50; pea $35.
, Other producers may charge an ad-
vance of Is cents a ton Of 2240 pounds
over the figures set for the railroad
owned mines. Those who incur the ex-
pense Of re-screening 1t at Atlantic or
lake ports may add an additional five
cents a ton.

Buffalo and points east of that city will
be allowed a maximum profit Of 20 cents
