rms Is What happened to another of
the hobbies OF Charles Springer:
Mr., Springer had seen in Denver, IN
New York and in other cities and
states, the great usefulness OF natural
history museums. He saw what bcne-
fit they We're especially to the public
schools and >hc important bearing
they had upon the education of child
ren. So interested was he that he Of
fered to raise $1,000 among his
friends toward the project and en-
bodied in the bill Il provision that it
would not be effective unless the
$1,000 was paid over. In addition, he
promised to help get together the nee
csSary collections without cost to the
state. To make it easy for the tax
payers, the bill provided for the use
of building already owned by the
state II all meant that with Charles
Springer behind the museum PROPOSE
ton the state would receive thousands
upon thousands OF dollars from pri-
waite Resources for the founding of
great institution Of incalculabIe bcne-
fit to the state, and especially to Santa
Fc and its school children.
But the same sinister influence that
was suspected of opposing the child
welfare bill also opposed the natural
history museum ana succeeded in kill
ing the measure to the irrctricNable
loss of the stat" and especially of the
capital. Mr. Springer simply quit lob
bying for it, for he felt that if tho

Bar Association Bills.

Thus il happened with the code oF
slmplified procedure provided by the
state Bar association with the aid OF
the state supreme court Some twenty
and more bills were involved and the
best legal minds of the state had
worked on them gratuitously They
meant a large saving to litiEants, to
taxpayers. to courts. But none of the
bills would have become law but for
the lobbying of Reed Holloman and
other members Of the bar association.
No legislator had any pnrticrlar ir-
terest in them and therefore they
would have been permitted to die. II
took all the power of the floor lead
erS to get a hearing for them Even
as it is one of them died in the house
after passing the senate, in the very
last hour of the session. 1t had been
voted upon, had received all of the
votes. hut when these were counted
1t was found that one vote was lack
ing to make q quorum. Had the lobby
seen TO il that one member had been
brought in from the smoking room,
this excellent measure would have
become law.

CORNER TURNED IN
HIGH FOOD PRICES
COMMODITIES SHOULD CONTINUE
TO SHOW REDUCTIONS,
SAYS HOOVER.
Depends Upon Action of the Retailer,
Who, Without Further Authority
From Congress, the Government
Is Powerless to Regulate.

Washington = Food Administrator
Hoover gave notice to the public on
FOctober Is that 1.-The corner has been
turned in high food prices and that
most of the essential commodities
should continue to show reductions be-
tween now and the end of the year.
AT the same time he pointed out that
retail prices are not going down in ac-
cord with wholesale reductions and in
timated that the consumer himself
might correct this by bringing proper
pressure to bear.
To aid the public in dealing with
retailers who continue to eXtort war
profits the food administration now is
collecting wholesale prices of all
staples in 700 cities and soon will be-
gin publishing them weekly for COM
parison with retail figures.
Without further authority from con-
gress, Mr. Hoover said, the govern
ment is powerless to control retailers,
except those doing a business of more
than 100000 year. He did not care
to discuss the question of whether con-
gress would be asked to extend his au-
thority, saying he wanted to give the
retailers a chance first.
AS an Illustration of how the price
to the consumer is keeping up, a state
ment issued by the administrator said
beef now is selling in Chicago at 1412
cents Il pound, compared with 16 cents
in July, while the average retail price
of round steak now is 81 cents COM
pared with 81 cents in July. The mil
ler's price for first patent flour in jute
bags ranges from SO to 5000, but the
average retail prise is $13.77, or, the
administration says, from S1.50 to 81
more than the wholesale figure war
rants. Sugar should sell from to SO
cents pound in spite of the present
temporary shortage as the wholesale
figures have not advanced.
Now that it is all over, Mr.. Hoover
said, it may be admitted that in Sep
TENDER the country faced serious
shortage of flour and New York City
at one time was down to thirty-siX
hours supply. Virtually the same con-
dition prevailed at Philadelphia and
other consuming centerS.

NEW RULES FOR
THE DRAFT ARMY
EACH OF NINE MILLION MEN
NOT YET CALLED OUT WILL
BE CLASSIFIED.
Every Registered Man Will Know His
Exact Position and Will Be Able
to Arrange His Affairs Accord
ingly, 1t Is Announced.

Westinghouse sweeping change in
the machinery of the seective draft,
based on division of the 100000 re-
manning registrants into five classes in
order of their eligibility for military
service, was announced Sunday by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder. De-
tails of the plan, which has been ap-
proved by President Wilson, are not
disclosed. 1t is calculated, however, to
do away with virtually all the COM
plicated machinery of the first draft
and to make the operations of the local
boards hereafter little more than rub
Der stamp progress.
The campaign was worked out in
conferences with local and district
board officials and approved by the va
riOus state authorities. Its chief feat
ures are that every registered man will
know his exact position and be able
to arrange his affairs accordingly and
that no man deemed necessary in any
important industry or needed at home
to support his family will be called
to the colors unless the military stu
alton is desperate.

FATAL DUEL IN IDAHO.

ALLIES To KEEP Up
FIGHT ALL WINTER
MILITARY EXPERTS LOOK FOR
INCREASING ATTACK UPON THE
WATERING GERMAN LINES.
BY Extending Her Lines in the East,
Germany Has Merely Added to Her
Burdens and Increased Con-
fidence of Allies.

Washington.-Mil experts here
do not expect winter to halt the great
allied drive against the Germans in
Flanders. Secretary Bakers weekly
review of war operations, issued DC
tober -, discloses the belief OF the
war department. that potency OF ma
terial and men will enable the British
and French commanders to triumph
over natural obstacles and continue
forcing the enemy backward without
waiting for spring.
The review touches for the first
time upon the American expeditionary
forces in France, declaring the men,
after three months of intensive train
ing, are in efficient fighting trim and
splendid physical condition.
In dwelling upon the importance of
the battle of Flanders and its effect
upon tue morale of the Germans the
war secretary declares it apparent that
the German high command planned the
recent expedition against the Russians
in the Riga sector in order to bolster
up morale and meet impending in
ternal difficulties. By extending her
lines in the east he adds, Germany
has merely added to the length of her
line of communications and increased
confidence in the final allies victory.
Along the western front, trench
raids, as well as the usual artillery
duels, are reported. Isolated counter
ott al no
in such Il manner as to indicate that
no real success was expected, but
merely serve to keep up the aggres-
sive spirit of the troops.
Rumors of an impending Austrian
offensive directed against Italy have
been current during the past week.
Reports of concentrations of Austrian
and German divisions to take part III
this attack are noted. Any one ia
miliar with the situation can at once
determine these rumors are eX-
aggerated. Even should the season
permit it, the concentration of the
number of fresh enemy divisions, esti
mated as high as forty, could not, as "A
physical possibility, take place in the
narrow Trentino valley, fed by Il
single railroad system.
An Interesting summary of troop
movements in the Ulited States shows
that since the present mobilization be-
gan 914, 1875 persons have been trans
ported by the railroads for the war
department, of whom 256,S15 We're
transported in standard or tourist
sleepers, the remainder in ordinary
day coaches. This vast movement has
been conducted by the railroads with
out single serious accident and the
cooperation between the railroads
and the department has been most
cordial and effective.

Cocoanut Rats.

Cocoanut palms grow luxuriantly In
many parts Of the Philippine Islands
and there is large demand for the
cities and towns. The method of bring
ing them to the market at Manila Is
both simple and picturesque. The CO.
coanuts are brought to the banks OF
the River Pasig, rough framework
of bamboo poles Is constructed, and on
this the nuts are piled so as to form
raft. Three or four men then pole the
curious craft down stream into the city

by the Rev. William IL. Hall of the

Continuing Mr.. Hall described the
tragic disappointment of the people
there, whose spirits were kept up for
weeks by the promised arrived last

life TO thousands, but which never
arrived owing to the refusal of Ger

Hall said. "The country was canvass

The city of Beirut is as sorely af-
flicted as the mountain districts, Mr.
Hall went on, and day or night one
hears the cry along the streets, 81 am

from beggars, but from laborerss and
tradesmen people who have known
the comforts of life.

Stevenson Planned Much Work.

Considering Robert Louis Steven
sons short life, he wrote a great deal,
but he planned still more. A writer
who has been delving into his record
offers what he says is a hitherto I'M.
published list of "two novels and
tales" which Stevenson meant to-
write, but never did. 1t runs thus:
The Indian Mutiny, Saranac Lake,
1888; Cannanmills, probably Saranac
Lake, 1888; The Rising Sun, at Sea
Pacifc), 1890; Dyce of Ythan, Samoa,
1892: The Shovels of Netwon French,
Samoa, 1892; The Beach Combers, Sa-
moa, $685. Sophia Scarlet, Samoa,
1893; The Owl, Samoa, 1893; Death in
the Pot, Samoa, 1893; The Sleeper
Awakened, Samoa, 1898.
Stevenson planned other work not
in the line of fiction. They were: A
Biography of the Duke of Wellington,
d Biography of Hazlitt, history of
the Indian Mutiny, an English Gram
mar, to be illustrated from the Eng
fish Classics. He also began and, for
one reason or another, never complet-
ed these stories:
The Great North Road, Bourne
mouth, 1884; The Young Chevalier,
1893; Heathercat, Samoa, 1898; The
Go-Between, Samoa, 1893; st. Ives,
Samoa, 1894; Weir of Hermiston, Sa-
moa, 1894.

caroline WAR" WAS SHORT
Border Trouble Between United States
and Canada Threatened for Time,
However, to Be Serious.

The Caroline war" was a border
trouble between che United States and
| Canada, in which a few persons were
killed, but the trouble did not last
long. In 1867 there was a strong re-
publican spirit rife in parts of lower
Canada which eliminated in Decem-
Der, 1887, in an unsuccessful insurrec-
ton in Toronto. The leaders of the
insQrrection fled to the United States.
and one of them, a newspaper man
named Mackenzie, with 20 or 80 men,
including a few from the American
side who had Joined him, seized an is
land in the Niagara river and set up
a provisional government. Their navy
consisted of steamboat called the
Caroline and one dark night while she
was lying on the American side party
of Canadians crossed the river and
burned the boat, killing several men
ON board of her.
The affair caused great Indignation.
President Van Buren, issued proclama-
tons demanding observance of the neu-
trality laws. The New York militia
was called out and placed under COM
mand of Gen. Winfield Scott. Presi-
dent Van Buren, characterized the
burning of the Caroline in American
waters as ian outrage of most aggra-
waited character" and concluded by ask
ing congress for "such appropriations
as the circumstances In which our
country is thus unexpectedly placed re-
quire." The affair dragged along
few years, but was finally settled with
out further bloodshed.

DESTROYER OF THE FRONTIER
Transportation That Peoples VIII
Not Be Rooted In Soil.

IL you went in the ordinary way
from the Italian city Turin to Eng
land, you would change trains three
times, cross the channel by boat, force
yourself to be patient while locomo
tives coaled and took on water, pas
sengers embarked or alighted along
the railway, and customs officers wen
through their fussy examinations. A
proper allowance of time, we would
say, would be SO hours.
The other day, Captain Laurlat Of
the Italian aviation corps made the
journey by airplane in IL hours and
minutes. For him, there was nc
such thing as frontiers, no delays ex
cept those he himself willed, no Off
Gals in seedy uniforms to make O
mess of his baggage unless he selected
to let them.
1t is the idea of internationalists
that Wen have world state when
everything is so mixed that there Is
no Strengthening Ii out by national
command, when borders can be
crossed as one would county lines
when transportation is so swift and
easy that no peoples can be or will
desire to be rooted In the soil. Well,
should this come about, the world has
the instrument which will compass 1t.
1t is the flying machine-Toledo
Blade.
