DEFEATED in the primary. Hal Coop
er now comes with a petition to get
onto the ballot as an independent can
didate for congress. Does Mr.. Cooper
expect the voters of this district to
forget and forgive that prO-German
speech made in the house when the
declaration of war was declared which
the floor leader declared would have
been appropriate in the German reich
stag? The politician who will not abide
by the rules of the game ought to be
''beat to fragile" The republicans
of this district have nominated Judge
Randall as their candidate and he de-
serves the united support Of his party.
The public generally have little SYM
patty for a sore head, as Mr.. Cooper
will find And now comes Ernest War
ner of Madison, one of the few remain
ing La Toilette lieutenants who is also
running as an independent candidate
for congress in the 3rd district for the
sole purpose of trying to defeat the
regular nominee. These disrupters of
party deserve no consideration from the
voters and once more illustrates the
utter worthlessness of the primary
method which ought to be thrown into
the discard at the earliest possible mo-
ment.

AT THE LYRIC

A pretty girl, two determined low
ers and doting father who is call
ed to Egypt, pave the way for hill
ariously funny story, "Please Help
Emily" which will be the attraction
at the Lyric on Thursday. Ann
Murdoch plays the star role. "Please
Help Emily" is one of the Charles
Frohman's stage plays and one of
Miss Murdock's recent Broadway sue
cesses. Community singing every
Thursday.
Next Saturday Alice Joyce is seen
in one of her most appealing roles,
in, "The Song of Soul" in which
fascinating drama he is supposed to
be the wife of gambler and is cast
out into the world penniless and with
her baby. She fights her way back
to happiness. An unusual fine drama
in which Miss Joyce does extra fine
work.
On Monday Alice Brady will be
presented in "The Ordeal of Roset-
ia" in which the charming star por-
trays dual role of twin sisters who
are entirely different-one kind and
loving, the other revengeful and i'm
pure. A tremendous contrast, and
one which owes it's success to the
faithful portrayal of each role by
Miss Brady.

RECLAIM MANY SUNKEN SHIPS
Have Been aIvaged-PossibiIity
of Raising the Lusitania.

Most welcome is the announcement
from London that since January, 1915.
407 ships sunk by the Germans in
British waters have been saIyaged
lat of them, by improved methods, in
five months of the present year.
Britain's coast, like our own, is
edged by broad belt of shallow wa
ter. For 200 miles of the channels
length no spot reaches depth of 100
fathOms much of it is quite shallow,
which accounts for the chop that makes
so many who cross it briefly unhappy.
From our own Norfolk one gets well
out of sight of land before reaching
water too deep for salvage operations.
Depth increases more rapidly off the
Irish. coast, but even the Lusitania
lies near the 50-fathom line, below the
shatter of the storm, yet near enough
the surface so that many practical
wreckers have said that it would be
possible, though exceedingly difficult,
to bring her forth to a nautical resur-
rectiOn.
That some things can be done as
well as others our engineers showed
when they raised the U-boats' biggest
victim along our coast, the Herbert
Pratt, and brought her safe to shore.
What the ''inaproved methods used off
England may be we shall probably not
know until after the war. That they
are cheating the murderous subma-
rines of their prey in so many cases is
good news.

Frank Comment.

Martin likes to 60 next door every
Sunday morning and have his Uncle
Al read the ''funnies" to him. One
morning the pictures were particular
~ alluring and he was deaf to all i'm
portunities to get ready for Sunday
school. Finally Uncle Al added to
Martins discomfort by urging the
benefits of attending Sunday school,
offering as an argument that he had
attended until eighteen years old.
Whereupon Martin cast a whitening

Aviators in Italy.

From the Italian front where many
American aviators are now serving
comes this note:
Sometimes at night, after dinner,
a little music is INDUCED in as re-
taxation. Of course the Italians shine
there. Many pilot or chauffeur in
overalls is humming selections from
grand opera. Some of the American
boys also are good musicians. One
especially was splendid pianist, and
would rattle away for an hour at a
time selections from Schubert or Men
delssohn's "Melody in f." to what
seemed almost sacrilege, that is.

AS THERE are 100000 owners of
farms in the United States and but
$4,000 of them have thus far paid an
income tax, the internal revenue bu-
reau is said to be contemplating a
searching investigation. Only one diff
ficulty presents itself. Farmers do not
as rule keep books, and it is feared
that anything like an official accounting
enforced by law would be vexations
and costly to an element not accustom-
ed to such system.

The Milwaukee Sentinel brands the
kaiser's peace proclamation as at least
80 per cent the effort of scared auto

ing wrath by depicting himself as a

Overcoming CamoufIaae.

An American physicist believes that
the advantages of camoufage-or at
least. certain kinds Of camouflage-
can be overcome by an opposing army
by providing its airmen and other
scouts with colored glasses or screens
of contrasting colors to use with field
glasses, notes Popular Mechanics
Magazine. When the colors of these
screens are properly selected, uni
forms and other objects may be made
to appear in contrast, instead Of in
harmony, with their surroundings, he
claims. Camouflage as practiced in
many cases is accomplished largely by
the use Of paint, objects being given
shades, that blend with the landscape
In spite Of certain difficulties that
would arise, IT is believed that such
efforts at concealment could be ren-
dered quite inefrectual by the means
stated.

MEET YOUR PLEDGES!

Charleston, July 1.-THE State
War Savings Committee urges that
those who pledged themselves in the
June w. s. S. campaign to purchase
War Savings Stamps during the re-
naming months of the, year should
not wait until the last minute but
should cooperate with the government
by purchasing the specified amount of
stamps at the earliest day possible.
That is, if stamps are pledged for
July, the subscriber should make
every effort to purchase them in the
early part of the month. This will
make the work of the postoffice and
agents easier, and will enable the
State to make better showing at
Washington in the campaign. The
committee points out that the pledges
were made to the government, and,
therefore, all should cooperate to the
fullest extent in fulfilling the pledges.

FIRST WHITE BOY,
Youth Accompanied Columbus
Expedition in 1892.
Detailed at Helm While Superiors
Slept, Younsster Was Blamed
for Wreck Of Santa Maria.

Many phases Of the life Of Colum-
bus offer mysteries that the histori-
ans have never been able to clear
away, and one student of the life of
the great explorer has come across
an incidental mystery that has an ap-
pealing interest. 1t relates to a boy
who accompanied the expedition of
1492-the only boy among it's men,
bers, and consequently the first white
boy to set foot in America.
The contemporary accounts of the
first expedition of Columbus mention
the boy in question only once and
that briefly. They indicate that he
was the only boy in the expedition
and they place on his young shoul-
ders the blame for the great catas-
trophe that befell when the Santa
Maria was wrecked on the coast Of
Hayt. To be sure the story of the
wreck shows that the boy was less
to blame than his elders, but 1t was
easy enough to make him the scape-
goat. 1t was the night before Christ
mas, 1892, ten weeks after the dis
covery Of the land, and Columbus was
west indies. The flagship, the Santa
Maria. was skirting the coast Of Hay
ii, and late at night as the wind was
light and the ship barely moving, Col
umbus went to his cabin for rest. He
passed the helm over to the captain.
He, too, soon felt the need of sleep
and went below. His successor at the
tiller was sailor and he shortly fol-
lowed the example of the admiral and
the master. Before he went he awak-
ened the lad in question and I'D him
to mind the helm.
The boy did not go to sleep. He
was doubtless a live lad and he felt
the Importance Of being trusted to
steer the ship. But he was in strange
waters and the currents were treach-
erous near that coast, says an ax-
change. The ship struck reef. The
admiral and crew rushed on deck I'm
terror. OF course they blamed the
boy. That was the way Of the world
before 1902 and the fashion has never
changed.
That was the end Of the Santa
Maria. The crew reached the shore
In safety and made a fort from the
timbers of the wreck. In that fort,
which they called La Navidad in
honor Of the day, about forty Of the
crew remained while their companions
went home to Spain on the Pinta and
the Nina. One historian mentions q
tradition that the boy remained with
this number, but 1t is only tradition.
The fate of the forty is mystery, for
when the second expedition OF Column
bus reached that island year later
there were only few charred timbers
and bones to be found. Perhaps the
boy perished there. His name has not
even come down to us, but the brief
glimpse that we have Of him is n fas-
clnSting one. There is something to
stimulate the imagination in that
feeting picture of the boy who stuck
to his post while his superiors slept.
