New York, Sept 1o-Wal1 street and the entire financial district was thrown into the widest panic this afternoon by violent explosion in the office of J. P. Morgan & Company opposite the Stock Exchange. The force of the explosion was such that every window in the financial districts was smashed to atoms and the thousands who came to the scene saw the dead and mamed bodies Of men and horses lying in the street.
 At 12:1O o'clock the police declared they had positive information that an internal machine of gigantic power had caused the explosion
 None of the members of the firm of J. P. Nor gan & Company were killed.
 All of downtown New York, but especially the Wall street financial district, was rocked by the terrific concussion

 The windows of the Morg an firm and those of office buildings in the vicinity were smashed and the streets were filled with broken glass.
 At 12:15 the board of governors of the Stock Exchange ordered the exchange closed.
 The explosion occurred during the noon lunch hour when Wall and Broad streets were dense with hurrying clerks and stenographers. All were
 It was equally impossible half an hour after the explosion occurred to determine either it's exact nature or location, for spectators were held back by the police
 It was reported however, that shortly before noon an automobile with two men drew up in front of the Morgan offices and that when Morgan de- tectives approached the machine one man alighted and either accidentally or purposely dropped what appeared to be a bomb.
 Occupants of skyscraper looking down on Wall street told another version of the automobile story. They declared they had seen the car draw up and the leave it. These spectators ad- vanced the theory that the bomb-if it was a bomb |-had been timed.
 This version differed from the first, as regards the two passengers and their chauffeur. The first (story had it that they were among the injured.

Boys Whose Courage Failed.
During the organization of the clubs
last week many amusing incidents of
the children were reported to the nature
study teachers. Several boys who were
appointed on the ''save-the-grass' COM
mittee at the Wilson Normal School
were detailed to notify residents adja-
cent to the school that the campaign
soon was to be started and that they
can plant grass seed without fearing
that the school children would play on
their lawns.
They left the building and headed for
the nearest house. However, all the
boys on the committee were timid and
could not muster courage enough to tell
the occupant of the house the intention
of their visit. After a, short deliberation
the boys ultimately decided to defer
their mission and used their freedom
from school by playing marbles on the
lawn Of this house.

TRAINING LITTLE CITIZENS
TO KNOW GREAT MEN
.(By DIR. STEPHAN S. wIsE.)

(By DIR. STEPHAN S. W1SE.)
I cannot think of finer service
that parents can render child than
to help him rightly to appraise the
moral and spiritual worth of men and
women well-known, of the best-known,
of the so-called great. To reveal
Washington, Lincoln or Roosevelt to
a child is to inspire and enrich a
child, not only by placing a Titanic
figure in the pantheon of his imagi-
nation, but by making clear what are
the greatnesses of the great.
1t was said of a most learned and
distinguished Englishman that he had
no shrines. l am not afraid that
American children will be shrineless
but I am concerned about the Amer
ican child having shrines worthy Of
his reverence and honor. Parents
cannot expect to reveal to child the
essence of greatness and nobleness in
another until after they have an
swered for themselves the question OF
what greatness really is-until they
know that greatness is not matter
of passing fame, but of abiding worth,

FAvoRs ANTEsTRIKE LAW

In the hearing before a Sub-commit
tee of the interstate commerce COM
mittee of the senate relative TO the
Piondexter bill to prohibit Interference
with interstate commerce by conspira-
cies of either employers or employees,
the farmers were unqualified in their
support of the measure. The Piondex-
ter bill, like the Cummins bill, does
not prohibit any employe from quit.
ting his employment at any time for
any reason so long as he does not
enter into a conspiracy WITH others
to interfere with interstate commerce.
In practical effect the bill would
prohibit strikes on railroads engaged
in interstate business. Quite natur-
ally the farmers are in favor Of such
a measure, as also are shippers Of
commodities of all kinds, and con-
sumers generally. The farmer can not
cease production, neither can the gen.
eral public cease consumption. But
there can be no continuous interstate
traffic The farmer of the West can
in the cities unless the great railroad
systems of the country are in oper-
alton. Since the welfare of both the
producer and the consumer require
continuous interstate commerce, both
those classes will be strong advocates
of the enactment of law which will
prohibit railroad strikes. At the same
time. there will also be general sup
port of provision in the federal
statutes which will assure to en-
ployes who have grievances that a
fair tribunal will hear their grievances
and render judgment according to the
merits of the controversy. When this
has been assured. there can be no
reasonable opposition to an anti-strike
law anplicable TO railroads engaged in

THE INCOME TAX
AND BOOKKEEPING

Many retail merchants and farmers,
in making out income tax returns, find
difficulty owing to a lack of knowl-
edge of bookkeeping. Many of them
keep simply record of cash received
and paid, with checkbook and bank
deposits. Such records may form the
basis of fair tax return for period
of years Yet they fail to show the
owner how his business is going.
The cash receipts may show gains,
while changes in bills receivable and
payable and stock on hand may be
such that the business is losing heav-
lily without the owner knowing 1t.
The necessity of making out an in
come tax return each year should en-
courage every business man and far
mer to develop simple but compre-
hensive system of accounts, which on
occasion he can show up to an inter-
nal revenue deputy. Such system
enables business man to check loss
es before they go far, and would save
many bankruptcies.
