an oversubscription of money. AS we

this $106,000,000 has been pledged by
all sorts and conditions of men and
women to be paid within period Of
five years, and we hope that these
pledges will be redeemed, but we are
inclined to the opinion that if the cen
tenary commission succeeds in collect
ing SO per cent of these promised con.
tributions it will have reasons to be
thankful. We do not mean to intimate
that large number of the subscrib-

good faith, but in the course of five
years many of them will be dead,
many will have moved to other parts
of the country, while others will prove
that they are backsliders. Most of the

promised to contribute few pennies

A scheme which for audacity is
without parallel was discovered by Sc
cret service men last week. Directly
under the eyes of guards, military
prisoners at Fort Leavenworth coun-
terfeited subtreasury notes, using the
government printing presses, paper,
and even calling into requisition the
federal stenographers. AS a conse-
quence the government has been de-
frauded out Of more than 100000,
escaped prisoners in league with the
counterfeiters having no difficulty in
cashing the notes, which were mailed
to them from the prison. Smooth
crooks, all right, but how they man
aged to perform this work while di-
rectly under the surveillance of the
guards is beyond comprehension unless
these guards were in connivance with
the counterfeiters.

Men are very differently constituted
AS a wide variant of the customary
in human nature, however, Sergeant
York, said to be the greatest Ameri-
can hero in the war, absolutely re-
fused at his marriage in the Tennessee
hills to take his bride on an extended
honeymoon trip which had been
planned by admiring friends, stating
that he could do more good by stay
ing at home than spending his valuable
time in quest of pleasure. How MIS-.
York feels about it is not stated in the
dispatches, but it seems to us that
when couple ''hook up" they are en-
titled to at least a bridal tour as a
diversion from the humdrum of ev-
eryday life.

Late reports from Mexico are to
the effect that Carranza is so humili-
ated over the omission of his country
from the league of nations that he is
putting forth an effort to get on the
list through the medium of prayer to
the "big four" Our suggestion to
Carranza is that he make no further
endeaver to get his country into this
so-called league of nations, which
from present indications, bids fair to
be in mixup from the time of its
organization. And, as to praying his
way in, the big four will be deaf to
his supplications for the reason that
they know not yet whether he or Villa
is the most powerful bandit in Mexico.
That is the main issue with the
league dignitaries.

Great is TOwnleyism!

Townley and his bunch of socialists
are fighting for their lives in North
Dakota, according to all accounts, with
chances about even. Last winter they
stole a member of the legislature to
make sure of the necessary vote to
put through their socialist schemes.
But this did not settle it, and the
referendum on June 26 now threatens
to tumble their house of cards. To
prevent this "Townley and his bunch
of grafters," to quote North Dakota's
nonpartisan secretary of state, Thomas
Hall, are rushing up and down the
state, spending the farmers money
like drunken sailors in a frantic effort
to save their own skins. The outcome
will be watched with interest. Great
is Townleyism!- Preston Times.

In a speech at Topeka, Kansas, Coy

In speech at Topeka, Kansas, Gov
ernor Burnquist, speaking of immigra-
ton, said: "Conditions appear to
make it advisable to restrict immigra-
ton for at least such a period and
to such an extent as will enable the
working out Of a plan for the proper
assimilation of the un-American for
eign born" Yes, and the bill intro
duced in congress at the last session
measure to prohibit immigration for
period of four years, should be i'm
mediately resurrected and passed.
Otherwise serious conditions are like
ly to arise from the influx of hordes
of foreign undesirables. Big contrac-
tors and others employing large num-
bers of laborers would like to see i'm
migration unrestricted so that they
may get men to work for lower
wages, hence they oppose the Com
pers bill.

Germany's ex-crown prince has been
interviewed by an American press
correspondent who quotes him as say
ing that only France, England and the
United States will be satisfied with
the allies covenant and predicts that
within ten years there will be another
big war. From the trend of interna-
tional sentiment it would not surprise
us to find that the crown prince is
right-that is, of course, if the senate
does not tear the covenant to shreds.

Judge H. D. Dickinson is made of
the right sort Of stuff. On Saturday
he sentenced two automobile thieves
to five years apiece and declared that
all others brought before him for a
like crime will get similar sentences.
Had Judge Dickinson tried that in

feel confident that the internal rascal
whose Vaccinations resulted in steal
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars
from the farmers, would have, been
dealt with in manner commensurate
with his crime. In a year Schafe1

money he stole from the farmers from

There is a big movement on foot
among labor organizations for the re-
moval of the pompous Mr.. Burleson
from office, and resolutions have been
drawn up by the postal employees, the
typographical union and other bodies,
to be presented to President Wilson
with that end in view. It is claimed
that Burleson has ruthlessly invaded
the rights of labor and interfered in
defiance of law. Whether the presi-
dent will kick Burleson out of office
or not is merely conjectural, but if
sufficient pressure is brought to bear
upon him by the big labor organiza-
lions of the country he will likely give

more appropriate name for Pac

A more appropriate name for Paci-
fist Taft's league to enforce peace
would be "the league of piffle." En-
force peace? Poppycock. Yet there
are thousands of people. who have fall
len for this crazy organization and
sent in money to sustain it. However,
it is the way of the world-people will
bite on any fool proposition. Taft,
.conscientiously, no doubt, believes he
is assisting the peace conference, but
instead, in our opinion, he is retarding

The senate committee on foreign re-
lations feels confident that the only
"Wall street copy" Of the peace treaty
so far Unidentified was furnished by
one of President Wilson's chief ad-
visers at the Paris conference. It is
not known what means were resorted
to in order to obtain that copy, but if
the "leak" can be placed at the door
of any Individual he should be pun
ished to the extent commensurate with
the ofense. Of course it is readily
seen that the peace treaty document
is of vast Importance to Wall street

almost any scheme in order to secure
