Separating the Votes.

Just after a recent election a large
crowd had gathered at a courthouse
in North Carolina to see the official
vote counted. To facilitate the work
an adding machine was used.
Among the attendants there were
large numbers Of people from the
rural districts who had nev e e one
Of these complicated machines. They
viewed 1t with open distrust. And
when the votes were finally counted
one of the defeated candidates re-
marked to a friend as he turned away:
II know I was elected to that Of
fee, but that blame separator cheated
me out Of It."

One of the most courageous
heroes in the history of our navy
was Capt. James Lawrence, the
man who dying warning has be-
come watch word in the United
States navy.
James Lawrence had little
naval training, but when the
time came to show his worth
he astolInded the world by
his marvellous bravery.
Lawrence was born in Burling-
ton, N. j., October 1, 1881, be-
came a midshipman in the United
States navy in 1898 and lieuten-
ant in 1903. His first service
was in the war against the Tri-
politan pirates, where he distin-
guished himself for his bravery.
In 1908, Lawrence became first
lieutenant of the Constitution, and
became captain in 1911. In the
war of 1912, he commanded the

Il. II. IDEA STICKS
United Press Leased wire.D

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 20.
Despite all administration at
tempts to annihilate it, the Roose-
welt division idea is holding its
trench. II is the most formidable
obstacle in the path of conscrip-
ton today.
While the word was passed out
semi-officially last night at the
war department that there will be
no Roosevelt division, betting to-
day favors the idea that 1T. r."
will get into the trenches in
France with a volunteer force
weeks before the first American
conscript division gets under
shrapnel fire.
1t is admitted that the presi-
dent is strongly opposed to the
Roosevelt division. Friends of
the colonel insist that the Wilson
objection is predicated upon the
political possibilities likely to
ensue when Teddy comes march
ing home"
Administration hackers ridicule
this idea, and say that Roosevelt,
who is on record as favoring Sc
leetive CONSUMPTION. is doing more
to block CONSUMPTION by his talk
of a volunteer division than any
thing else.
II is admitted that Roosevelt
could probably smash all speed
records in raising a division.

In spite of the disloyal crew,
Lawrence drew his ship close up
to the Shannon before he fired
broadside. At the first return fire
he was wounded in the arm and,
lying on deck, he directed the bat
tie, until the ship was captured.
As the Chesapeake was be-
ing battered into q useless
mass of wreckage, Capt.
Lawrence urged on his men,
shouting the words that re-
main his epitaph to this day;
Don't give up the ship!"
But the unframed and undis-
ciplined crew could not Withstand
the heavy fire of the Shannon and
the Chesapeake was captured.
The last words of the unfortunate
commander were to his surgeon:

AMERICA DAY

America day" in London today.
Flagmakers supplies had been
utterly drained to dress the city

TRY TO BLOW
UP CAPITOL

COLUMBUS, o., April 20. =
That an attempt was made to
blow up the capitol building here
yesterday morning leaked out to-
day.
Major p. J. Berry, in charge Of
the Third regiment troops early
yesterday received a report from
w. III. Mccain, a Columbus team
pter, that while passing the state
house at 5:45 a. m. yesterday he
saw a suspicious man kneeling
before a cellar window beneath
the treasury department.
Mccain says he walked toward
the man, who had a SLOUGH hat
pulled down over his eyes. The
man jumped up, Mccain said, and
grabbed small box and ran out
OF the state house yard.
Berry inspected the place and
found a homemade continuance
for setting off high explosives,
which he now has in his possess
sion.

TAKE UP WAR
PROHIBITION
UNITED Press LEASED Wirc.)

WASHINGTON, ID. C. April 20.
Whether war prohibition" Is
to be an emergency measure of the
present congress will be determ-
ined shortly.
President Wilson and his cab
met otday planned to take up
recommendations of Secretary
Houston for legislation covering
the entire problem of food and
its conservatism.
1t is expected that Houston's
suggestions will be laid before
congress next week-and stimuli
tenaously the governments inten-
tons toward war prohibition"
may be divulged.
The question is now directly up
to President Wilson and his cab
met. Congress, anxious to get
away, doesn't want to do any
thing it doesn't have to do, which
might delay its departure.
1t has therefore decided not to
consider prohibition or anything
at this session unless President
Wilson specifically asks for it as
war emergency legislation.

WARM DEBATE
ON SPY BILL

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 20.
Espionage legislation-the most
drastic ever proposed for this
eountry-held the spotlight in
congress again today.
The senate entered on its third
day of bitter debate ON the adj
ministration spy bill, with influ-
entail senators attacking the Sec
tion that they claim, though
aimed ostensibly at hyphens and
dangerous agitators, will COM
pletely muzzle every newspaper in
the country.
Fear that under the bill news
papers will be unable to criticise
any government move in war
time-even such an incident as
the costly Dardanelles expedition
of England-caused much of the
senate dissension.
