SECTIONAL APPROPRIATIONS,

According to a recent issue of tina
highly esteemed periodical the Con
Sressional Record, Representative
trear of Wisconsin has been conduct.
ing an exploring expedition into the
pork barrel; and he had brought ur
from it's depths some interesting
things: The undiscovered country
through which his expedition led was
the omnibus public building bill, a
desperate effort to pass which before
the 4th of March is being made by its
friends. This bill carries $35, OOO,-
600, and it is earnestly contended
that it is uniform-that is the franz
ers of it are supposed to try to give
every state and every member of
either house of congress a fair show
in whatever distribution of govern
ment funds takes place under this
bill.
Mr.. Frear, however, finds that the
theory and its application are some
what different. For instance he
iinds that North Carolina has about
one-third the congressional districts
that Illinois has and that it con
tributes about 7 per zen as much to
the federal treasury in direct taxa.
ton. North Carolina does have.
however, the Democratic leader on
the floor of congress; and she also is
slated to receive sixteen public build
lngs as against the thirteen allotted
Illinois. Only one of the sixteen
Carolina buildings is proposed
for a town which has more than
Z 900 population. Six of them are
located in towns of less than 1000.
In 1915, Mr.. Frear adds. North
Carolina paid $3S1,O7S into the fede-
al treasury; Illinois paid $5,654.151.
1t is not likely that Mr.. Frear's
expose will check the ardor of Floor
leader kitchin ard other Democrats
or the bill. Nor has Secretary Me-
Adoo's opposition had great effect in
Democratic enthusiasm
or the measure. 1t seems to be a
ardinal belief of this congress that
he chief function of government is
o spend money. How to get the
honey to spend is a matter upon
the average Democratic repre-
entative wastes little of his prav

QUEER BELIEFS OF
NATIVES OF KOREA
They People Trees and Mountains
With Malevolent Beings.

Kokimo, Korea, Jan. SOTO the
natives of Korea, the world is popu-
lous with active and malevolent be-
ings who are ready at any moment
to fall upon them in wrath, according
to a statement made by DR.. l. NJ.
Casanowicz, assistant curator of old
world archaeology of the United
States National Museum, concerning
the paraphernalia of a Korean sor-
ceress now deposited in the museum
collections.
DR.. Casanowicz says the Koreans
believe that these beings or spirits
haunt every tree, mountain, and
~watercourse; IT on every roof, fire.
place and beam, and infest ven their
chimncys. living rooms and kitchens;
that they beset them at home and
waylay them when abroad. They
seem to be everywhere at all times
and make their lives miserable. To
their influence the Koreans attribute
every i'll, all bad luck, official malevo-
lence, loss of power or position, and
especially sickness. The natives di-
vide these countless legions of spirits
into two main classes; Demons, con-
sisting of self-existent malicious spir-
its and spirits of departed impover-
ished persons who died in distress,
and spirits whose natures are partly
kindly, which include the ghosts of
prosperous and good people, but
the latter appear to be easily
offended and extraordinary capri
To cope with these two forms of
and be assured of a little peace
and quiet, the Koreans have two
of sorcerers, OF as they call
them "shamans"; the Pansu and the
Mutang. Both classes are mediators
between the people and the spirits,
but they bear little relation to each
The former are fortune
tellers," and the latter, the "deceiving
crowd" or dad lot"
The Office of the Pansu is restricted
to blind men, perhaps owing to the
common belief among primitive peo.]
pies that those who have been de-
of physical sight have been
given an inner spiritual vision. The

NO PEACE WITH KAISER
British Minister Puts Down Irrespon-
sible Rumors-Lauds America.

London, Sept 29.-viscount Miner,
minister without portfolio in the Brit
ish war council, speaking at the Amer
lean Luncheon club. declared against
any peace with the unrepentant Ger
man rulers.
Touching on the entry of the United
States into the war and the moral
significance of it, Lord Miner evoked
tremendous outburst from those at
the luncheon when he said:
81 feel that your country and mine
are now united by something far
stronger than any written pact or al
lance, namely, by an absolute unity
of motive and aim"
Viscount Miners speech obviously
was an answer to the peace talk which
has been filtering from Germany in
past weeks. He declared that it was
the intention of the entente allies to
pursue ''unfalteringly and resolutely
to the end" their crusade, so that the
world shall be a better place to live
in than before-"a world dominated
by other law than the law of the
jungle"
