"THE LONDON BUGLE -

Everything is quiet in around the mines
this week.
We had a little excitement Tuesday
evening, as "Redr Palmer, and Gainesville
Bugle" had lighted their shots at the
seventh level and was being hoisted to the
sixth level the skip wrecked and what they
really did we are too modest to say.

We notice in the Polk county that the

the end.
The paper says let the women do the
work and the men go to the army. That
should be just the reverse, in Ducktown,

MT. Daniels Apology

1t is one thing to possess a sense of humor and another to be able to hold it in check direct the times of it's outbreaks and guide it in proper channels Para phrasing a remark once made concerning fire, humor is a good but bad master. It is the who indulges in humor only infrequenty that gets trouble; he is not familiar with his tools and so, cuts himself
 Now here is Secretary of the Navy Daniels ering under lashes wielded by thousands of women who understood that he had made light of their eff forts with knitting needles make the world safe for democracy MT. Daniels now says he never meant it. In lighter moment he uncorked his humor bottle and the volatile stuff got away from him. If he had been serious, he says he would have praised these good patriotic women for what they doing with their knitting needles. The navy needs all the sweat CTS socks and scarfs it get. is noble work in which they are engaged and in corroboraton of his tribute Secretary Daniels induces Secretary Baker also arise and that it is a noble and helpful work
 It is never safe to joke about serious matter and knitting for the army serious nothing. Not withstandng that the secretary made bunder by his facetiousness think the ladies ought accept his re-statement and apology. The very blundeS itself proves that MT. Daniels human and we all like hu- people. It is a good deal better to make such a mistake MT. Daniels has made than to be guilty of such Trpitz made
 MT. Daniels, of course, did not know what he has since learned that this work was not begun and has not been done in haphazzard fashion, but that the beginning, it has systematically performed Classes for the teaching of knitting have been formed in every section of the country and millions of have been shown how their work may be made the most elective. Behind it all has been a enthu- siasm and noble patriotism.

OF THE OLD SCHOOL

had never doubted that love for the starry emblem sort of ineradicable caste mark on the hearts of the native born. It seemed to me that had always known the story of the flag, and that brave men had died for it, and that nothing ever stained it-I knew that word stained" as applied to the flag before I was old enough understand it's figurative application.
 My father and grandfather and great grandfather served the flag. My memories of my father are dis tinctly visua-a spare figure very erect gray haired and gray mustached; Loyal Legion button war time limp corrected with a cane; a black velvet smoking jacket and way he had of rocking slowly on the legs of his study chair squinting at Marmon through cloud of cigar smoke-a very gentle, hon. orable and chivarOus American of school" the like of which the woHd will never see again. 1 think this memory is the only legacy would be presumptuous enough to claim from nobler generation My vener- aon for it is inseparable from my pride in part my father played in keeping the stars of '61 in the flag.
 My father read "The Man Without a Country" to his boys. He fond of reading to his family and read beautifully, with scholars relish for precise enunciation tasting perfect dicon with the delight epicure, while sat, literally at his feet con scious of the slow steady rocking of his chair The Lay of the Last Minstrel" 'Ivanhoe'-to this day Scotts lines awaken dear ghosts of that haowed library and the aroma of leather bindings smoke and cigars-soft, gray wraiths drifting the tapestry of the years.-Scribner's Magazine.

The New War Correspondent

The callow youth whom call correspond ents and who are rattng around in the places once filled by Forbes Stevens and Reid keep us fed up on conjecture descriptions of the effect of this or that military operation, and the intention the allies or the enemy to do this that thing next. We will ad- init that the crop of war correspondents has not the same opportunities that the old enjoyed. They get their mostly at second hand and it may be said of it that it is much than the official communiques.
 It is when the wings of the correspondent are wholly and he takes his flight into the magazines that him at his best-or at his worst Then we are told precisely how it should be done and be done when the bandages are taken from the eyes of the military experts and those experts will consent to follow in the lead of the correspondents who but yesterday were in swaddlng clothes
 Their ignorance is refreshing and they are not alone in it. Even Washington military men, when the Italian push under way three weeks ago dvined the purpose of the Germans to break into France through Italy. Why Germany should want to do that if it could and proceed in a roundabout way where they would be met quickly by the allied forces was given consideration The correspondents and the Washington military only knew that if beyond the Alps lies Italy" one side on the other France must lie. Napoleon had crossed, and so had Han nibal with elephants. So then could the Austrians with skodas and the Germans with big Berthas. It never occurred to the correspondents that there is no more difficult crossing in the whole field of war It booked like nice level ground on the map

STAGE COMPAN

Yesterday was automobile stage day In the office of the state corporation commission. The first action of the commission under this head was to order the citation of the Union Auto Stage company for contempt for fail ure to comply with an order of the commission on February "A of last year, fixing the rates between Phoe- nix and Globe and Miami and inter- mediate points.
 It is alleged that the stage compa- ny has been guilty of relating from Miami. The complaint was made by Yves Hill of a competing stage line and his complaint is supported by sev- eral affidavits of persons who have enjoyed the relating. The tickets of some of the affiants, are attached to their affidavits.
 Tn several cases it is sworn that two tickets were sold from Miami to Phoe- nix for S15, though the one way rate as fixed by the commission is S10. Another affidavit sets forth that the afflant purchased a ticket for $10 and pald only S8.5O for it. The company is cited to appear on December and show cause why it should not be ad- judged guilty of contempt.
 The other matter before the com- ] Il. shannon, proprietor of a stage route between Wickenburg and the Monte Cr1sto mine, for a schedule of rates and for the regulation of the traffic 1 between those and intermediate points. Shannon states that his is the only regular line and the only one main | taining a regular service; he is also the mail carrier. His rate between the termini is $2.25. Passengers are sometimes carried by rent vehicles for from S5 to $10. Shannon carries in- surance on his cars, so as to be able 1 to indemnify passengers for injuries they may sustain.
 The commission ordered in a rate of $2.25 and the discontinuance of ir- regular service Persons desiring to enter into competition with Shannon must do so on the terms prescribed | by the commission. They must be limited to ten miles an hour, must take out insurance and deposit their policies with the commission; they may not employ as chauffeur any one under the age of 21 years.

We Are Too HYstericaI

It is an American habit to hasten to be first in Spreading information and in consequence we fall sometimes into ridiculous which would have a tendency destroy confidence in us if the American people did not forget quickly A few weeks ago when Kerensy out of the Russian ruc we hailed him statesman of the first water; a god-given instrument to erect democracy upon the hole which had suddenly been blown into imperialism In our enthusiasm did not think that a hole is not good foundation for any of a structure But our eyes fixed upon Kerensky. The papers and magazines printed pictures of him usually in the attitude of commander-n-chief urging the Russian armies on to victory. He had had, it is true. military training but then. neither had Joan of Arc The days of miracles not necessarily over. Joan was a super woman, so Kerensky was superman. We have since been singing his name low not at all

 The state rested it's case before the afternoon recess and the defendant was on the stand until court adjourned Tn the afternoon. He will not be recalled this morning and it is quite possible that his fate will be decided by the jury before Thanksgiving day.

Laney. You are in the habit of drawing a gun ?" he inquired of the witness, who ad- mitted that he had drawn a gun be- | fore in self defense.
 Raynor said he was confident that he would have been attacked and that he had repelled assault with the gun Now isn't it a fact that if Heath had assaulted you ali you had to dc was to seek refuge Denind your sor who was standing beside you?" asked the states attorney. He further con- tended that Heath was Is feet away when he was shot,
 That is not true" said the witness who had previously testified that Heath had advanced on him.

 In line with this testimony was tha of Deputy Sheriff Charles NafzingeI who said that the wound in chin anC throat showed that Heath had not beer leaning forward when shot.
