MEAN? TO SERVE AS BEACON
Statue Of Liberty at New York Is Not
Fulfilling Original Purpose
Of Designer.

The statue of Liberty, in New York
harbor, is electrically illuminated
that is, so flooded with light as to be
rendered brightly visible at night.
Originally, however, the idea was
to make it serve as beacon, and for
this purpose the flame" of the lady's
torch was cut at the sides, the open
ngs fitted with glass, and nine duplex
arc lamps placed inside.
Thus was obtained light which,
upheld at a height of 3O5 feet above
the water, was visible "a miles out
Mt sea, or ten miles beyond the anchor
age of the outside llghtship. It's main
tenance was assigned to the govern
ment lighthouse board.
But the lighthouse board declared
that 1t had little or no usefulness as
an aid to navigation, its value being
purely sentimental, and in 1902 the
light was extinguished, the business
of illuminating the statue being hand
ed over to the war department.

MEN AWARDED GODLlKE RANK
Two Worshlped In China and Elabo-
rate Temples Erected at the
Birthplace Of One.

Man worship is still practiced in
China, according to Rev. F. S. Burket,
a Baptist minister Of Changing, who
found two disciples of the late Liau.
seated on thrones and receiving the
obeisance Of thousands Of their fol-
lowers.
Liau, who achieved local fame years
ago, because of his reputed power of
healing diseases and relieving the op-
pressed In spirit, was executed by the
authorities, who feared an uprising.
Two of Liau's disciples, Ling Shuk
and Lai Sam Shuk. however, like their
master, began to heal diseases in his
name, and gradually were raised by
their followers to the same godlike
rank accorded Liau.
Ling Sbuk is seventy-one years old
and Lai Sam Shuk eight years his
Junior. Several ornate temples have
been built to Liau. At the main one,
located at Liau's birthplace about Is
miles from Changing. the missionary
found gathered more than 1000 peo-
pie to celebrate Liau's birth anniver-
sary. The two immortals were seated
on the highest of a series of terraces
with an empty throne between them
for the spirit of Liau. Before them
stood large table covered with or
namental objects and in front Of this
the worshipers go through strange
gymnastics.

REAL ROOSEVELT
AbHORRED WILSON
AND HIS WORKS
Yet Democratic Candidate for
Vice Presidency SANDERS
Great Leaders Memory.
MAKING FUTILE ATTEMPT
TO WIN ON OLD ISSUES
Fifth Cousin Removed Roosevelt Not
Able to Convince Followers of
r. r. by Spacious Arguments.
BY SCOTT c. BONE.

Touring the country as a candidate
for Vice President Franklin D. Roose-
welt is vainly endeavoring to invoke
the progressive spirit of 1912 in sup
port If wisconsin and the election of
the Democratic ticket in November.
What would the real Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt--the immortal T.
R.-say to his followers were he alive
today2
Gone, he left burning words which
tell all too plainly what his attitude
would be at this time.
He abhorred wisconsin, Just as he
abhorred Danielism, with both of which
Franklin D. Roosevelt has been identi-
fed as an under Secretary.
Condemned Wisconsin.
Theodore Roosevelt condemned Will
sonism and the whole Wilson admins
tration in unsparing terms.
Read anew what he said at Cooper
Union on November 8, 1915:
NAVY bNCH uesoiltd DtNouSt nav q
criticised Mr.. Wilson. I have not said
one thing of him that was not absolute
ly accurate and truthful
II have not said one thing of him
which l did not deem it necessary to
say because of the vital interests Of
this republic.
baI opi T no
lieve he has dragged in the dust what
was most sacred in our past and has
jeopardiZed the most vital hopes Of
our future.
II eriticise him now because he has
adroitly and cleverly and with sinister
ability appealed to all that is weakest
and most unworthy in the American
character; and also because he has
adroitly and cleverly and with sinister
ability sought to mislead many men
and women who are neither weak nor
unworthy, but who have been misled
by q shadow dance of words.
''He has made our craftsmanship n
thing of empty elocution.
"He has covered his fear Of stand
ing for the right behind a veil of
rhetorical phrases.
HE has wrapped the true heart of
the nation in a spangled shroud of
rhetoric.
HE has kept the eyes of the peo-
pie dazzled so that they know not what
Is real and what is false So that they
turn, bewildered, unable to discern the
difference between the glitter that
veneers evil and the stark realities Of
courage and honesty, Of truth and
strength.
SIN the face of the world he has COW
cred this nations face with shame as
with garment"
So much for Theodore Roosevelts
opinion of Wilson and wisconsin in
support Of which Franklin D. Roose-
welt lifelong Democrat, would now in
woke the progressive spirit of 1912!
Abhorred Daniellsm.
And what did Theodore Roosevelt
think Of Daniels administration of the
Navy Department of which the Demo-
crat. Franklin D. Roosevelt. has been
