BANDIT cHlDEs PURsUERs
"BiIi" Carlisle, Still at Liberty, Sends
Telegram.


Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 21.-Laugh-
ingly defiant, "BilI' Carlisle, train
robber. is still at liberty. Soldiers,
trappers, sheriffs, detectives-all are
searching the country around Casper
for the bandit who emerged from his
secret whereabouts long enough to
send a telegram from Casper TO Union
Pacific officials, haunting them for the
failure Of their detectives to capture
him after he had single-handed robbed
the Los Angeles Limited. The police
agents of the Union Pacific are ner-
vous. They do not hesitate in *
pressing the opinion that the next
time they hear from Carlisle it most
probably will be in the form Of infor-
nation that another transcontinental
passenger train has been robbed.

LIES MISERABLES."

Algernon Swinburn, poet laucre-
ate of England, wrote the life OF
Victor Hugo for the Encyclopedias
Britannica and said that Hugo was
undoubtedly the "greatest writer
born since William Shakespeare"
He regarded Lies Miserables" the
most melodramatic of all Victor HUI
go's melodramas and said regarding
it:
"LES MISERABLES, the great
est epic and dramatic work Of fiction
ever created or conceived; the epic
of soul transfgured and redeemed; ;
purified by heroism and gloriied
through suffering; the tragedy and
comedy of life at it's darkest and its
brightest, of humanity at its best
and at it's worst"
LES MISERABLES has also been
referred to by other equally distin-
guished writer's as "The Gospel of
the Poor" and next to the Bible the
greatest work ever written.
A magnificent perturbation of
LES MISERABLES, produced by
William Fox with William Farnam
playing the part of the immortal
Jean Vatican will be shown at the
Opera House, Thursday, May list.
LES MISERABLES comes direct
from it's eight weeks run at the Ly-
ric Theatre, New York City.

TIE BOND ISSUE.

The City of Abbeville has issued
bonds for Water-works, Sewerage
Electric Lights and for other pur'
poses since we have been in Able
Vile. The rate of interest provided
in the bonds has run from five to
seven per cent in the various issues
We believe that we secured higher
premium on the bonds bearing five
per cent interest than on any of the
others.
We are not in favor of issuing
bonds now if the interest rate is to
be greater than five per cent. There
is much more money in the country
than ever before. There is no spe-
cies of bonds which commands a
higher price than municipal bonds
for public improvements, unless it
be, the bonds of the government.
The Liberty bonds have been sold at
four and a quarter per cent. The
Victory Loan, which is to run for
only five years, with the option of
retiring the bonds after three years,
we believe, provides for only four
and three-fourths per cent. interest.
The bonds proposed to be issued by
the City Of Abbeville are to run for
thirty years, and we believe that
they may be readily sold at a prem
ium if they bear as much as five per
cent. interest.
1t is true that the City Council
may issue the bonds bearing any
rate of interest less than five and
sHe=half per cent, the rate provided
in the petitions. But the City Coun-
Gil should now declare that it will
rot issue the bonds at greater rate
of interest than five per cent. II
the Council does not do this a great
many people will not vote for the
issue, which will be a misfortune,
as, in order to secure the best mar
ket price, the bonds should receive
a unanimous vote, or as nearly a
unanimous vote as possible.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
HAS GOOD CHANCE
Melville E. Stone Tells of Observa-
tions-Now Close Together-Great
Advance in Means of Commune
cation Greatest Aid in Pre-
venting War.

New York, April 23.-Develop-l
ment of intercommunication promis-
es a chance that the league of ma
tions may accomplish its object OF
insuring world peace, Melville E.
Stone, general manager of the Asso-
ciated Press, recently returned from
the peace conference, told the men,
bers Of the news association at the
annual meeting at luncheon here to-
day.
Mr.. Stone doubted if anybody
knew whether the league project
would succeed, but said the represen-
tatives Of the associated powers had;
addressed themselves to the forma-!
ton of an organization, intended if,
possible, to prevent recurrence OF
war, which he said had reached a!
point, through the advance OF
science, where future conflict
would we'll nigh mSan human ami
hilation.
By the modern process of inter-
communication, however, the nations
were inevitably brought closer to-
gether, he said, extending mems
visions and giving 'little promise"
that the failure of the congress of
Vienna, 100 years ago might be fol-
lowed "by something like success"
1t was a mistake, Mr.. Stone said,
to imagine that there had been an
unpleasant or angry situation be-
tween the peace ENJOYS of the asso-
ciated powers, who had brought to
their task a sincere desire to solve
great problem. Despite the Ger
man hopes of difference among the
councillors, he added, they had a.
greed to principle.
Describing a visit to the devastat-
ed regions of France, Mr.. Stone de-
clared it had been "torn by the most
malign and outrageous savagery the
world had ever known" To bring
about its rehabilitation, he asserted,

"NOT A CHIP OFF

veterans and the late world war vet

Veterans. It may be because, the
son is "chip off the old block" who
described Jefferson Davis as a "trai-

If Roosevelt the younger adheres
to the discrimination he has made
against. the men who wore the gray,
he deserves full condemnation for
his course, but it is hardly fair to
imply that his father bore bitter pre-
judice toward the South. When a
young man, Roosevelt used improper
expressions toward Jefferson Davis,
yet be it remembered that he went
nut of his way to prevent the promo
tion of Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who
ordered Davis to be treated like a
common felon while he was in prison
on charges for which the United
States never dared try him. In his
autobiography Mr.. Roosevelt testi-
fled that his mother, a gentle Geor.
gian, was in sympathy with the Con,
federacy during the war and was al
together "unreconstructed" for the
remainder of her life. Two of his
uncles were gallant fighters in the
Confederate Navy. of them, as of
his mother, Roosevelt spoke with the
deepest, most admiring affection.

aides was grandson of General
Grant and the other a son Of Con.
