NEW CREED IS PRODUCED BY
 MlSSISSIPPIAN

VICKSBURG, Miss, Aug. 16 (by Associated Press).-A newspaper man here, Charles w. Miller, city editor of the Herald, has compiled An American Creed" consisting of pas sages from the Old and New Testa- ments. The selections, transposed and arranged in such manner as to pre- serve the continuity of the creed un- broken to the end, are said by MT. Miller to contain ''the wholesome truths handed down from the prophets, the Saviour and the apostles"
 There are seven quotations from the Old Testament and 21 from the New Testament making a total of more than 300 words in the creed. It begins with the words of Timothy, Godliness with contentment is great gain For we brought nothing in to the world, and it is certain we can carry is introduced by a passage from Mall nothing out" The second paragraph achi, Have we not all one Father? Hath not one God created us? Why do we deal treachedously every man against his brother by profaning the covenant of our Father" The Creed Now unto the King Eternal, Immortal closes with these words from Timothy, Invisible, the only Wise God, be Honor and Glory for Ever and Ever"
 w. F. Bond, state superintendent of education in Mississippi, writing to the compiler, said: "This is splendid creed, and we should like very much to have copy in the hands of every school child in the state"
 MT. Miller, who has been a news. paper man more than 30 years, said: ''In this age of Goddess selfishness, the tendency of the times is running steadily and rapidly into a state of unrestricted license, regardless of high standard of life Something is needed to assist in turning the atten- tion of old and young to their duty to God and their neighbors. The Holy Bible will give the correct answer to every conceivable question that can be framed by man. It is the rule and guide for humanity"

ALLEGED THAT CUBAN ESTATE
 BEEN STOLEN

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Aug. 16 (by Associated Press) ).-Extradition pro- ceedings brought by the Cuban consul against Rafael Marterell, a Cuban busi- ness man here, reveal what is alleged to be a remarkable case of intrigue and impersonation to obtain a $25O,- 900 estate
 The estate belonged to a Porto Ri can, Manuel Fernando Fernandez Vega of San Juan, and the story of the al legged plot goes back to the days of the Cuban revolution, when Vega and Martorell were said to have been com rades-in-arms in Cuba. Vega was skilled in battle, but it is alleged that word of his death never reached his father in Porto Rico and valuable property later was bequeathed him.
 The present proceedings are based upon an allegation that Martorell per suaded Juana Maria Valdes Suarez and Manuel Antonio Fernando Fernandez Vega falsely to represent themselves as the widow and son of the deceased Vega It is further alleged that, in 1917, in connection with these repre- sentations, Martorell committed fraud in the municipal court at Regla and also before a notary at Havana, Cuba and by such means succeeded in hay ing all the rights to the estate of Vega conveyed to him.
 The extradition suit occupied the federal court here for the greater part Sf a week and resulted in Judge Ham ilton ordering the translation into English of all papers in connection with the case. Martoren, meanwhile, was released on S1,000 bail.

TRAVELLERS IN .LEVANl HAVE
 DIFFICULTIES

ONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 16 (by Associated Press) Travel in the Levant has become so difficult that hotels in nearly all the larger cities are crowded with persons waiting for steamer and railway accommodations. Strikes in Bulgaria, Serbia and in Italy, together with the lackt of through trains and the impossibil- ity of getting checked baggage through because of theft, have forced travellers to rely chiefly on steamers to French ports The steamer lines have also been badly disorganized by labor troubles and most ships are many days overdue and behind in all of their schedules.
 Although the United States shipping board has many ships in Constantino- pie and other large eastern ports, it has no regular passenger sailings and women are not permitted to travel on most of the shipping board boats unless they are on government ser vice. Consequently Americans have a great difficulty in getting through sailings to America. Major B. E. Booth, who was formerly with the shipping board in Paris, has now been transferred to Constantinople as a director of shipping board affairs in the near east and is endeavoring to get changes effected which will make travel easier to and from America.
 F. C. Tobey, representing the liar riman line, which is about to estab- fish sailings to the Black sea, was ill Constantinople recently and said it is likely that the line will establish reg ular monthly passenger sailings from New York to the Levant

STUDENTS SAY REGULATIONS
 ARE CHILDISH

EDINBURGH, Scotland, Aug. Is (by Associated s).-Young women students of the University of Edin- Mgh have revolted against what they regard as childish restriction in the use of latch keys after the regulation hour for closing the hall in which they live.
 Thirty-three students of Mason hall, one of the numerous hostels in which women students reside, have gone on record as refusing to obey instructions regarding the use of the night keys. The girls assert that they are being treated as children rather than as young women well able to take care of themselves.
 The protest resulted in petition to >ke university requesting change in the warden of the hall. The view of the management is that too much lib- erty was given the girls under the previous regime and that unless they alter their petition, the girls must leave the hall at the end of the ses- sion.
 The Pall Mall Gazette of London in commenting on the incident says:
 With the merits of the particular case we are not concerned but there is a principle involved which sooner or later will have to be decided. When women won their right to con- pete with the men in the professions they practically won all the rights that appertain to the requirement and the practice of those profes- sions. Those who imagine that all young women will submit to the ex- ercise of authority which would not be tolerated by their brothers, make a great mistake which, if it is per- sisted in, will do an immense amount of harm, for opposition to liberty is the surest fosterer of license"

jackson left the presidential chair
the most popular man who has ever
sat in it, with Roosevelt the only re-
firing president to approach him in
popularity Since Washington and
Jefferson, no other president what
ever has been tempted with a real
chance to prolong his power to third
election, and no other since his day,
with exception of Roosevelt, has die
tated or could have dictated the choice
of his successor. The almost idola-
trous loyalty Of his followers gave
point to the common saying that so
years after his death the Democrats
still were voting for Jackson.
Jackson found politics in the par
lors of the few and he left it in the
corner grocery and the crossroads
postoffice, where it more properly be-
longs if we are to have a democracy.
The new type of politician that arose
was not always more selfish or cor
rupt than the old, but it was noisier
and more open in it's methods. Popu.
lar government cannot be carried on
in whisper and it is always an en-.
envy to decorum.
The devotees of this passionate
/ self-willed idol of the people, laying
plans to keep themselves in power by
| the prestige Of Jackson's magic name
after he himself should be gone, set
up the first of our now too familiar
| political machines. A Kitchen Cab
! met" composed of the intimates OF
| the president, was at the head of this
organization, and newspaper organ
| fostered by government advertising
was its mouthpiece. Finally, it in
vented the National convention, with
a general system of nominating con
ventions, for the purpose of carrying
out it's objects.
The Constitution intended that the
members of the electoral college in
| their wilson, should choose the presi
dent, free from all outside pressure
or influence. But it was preposterous
that this great office, with it's i'm
| mense powers, should be left at the
absolute disposal of few men in 6
secret conclave. and the electoral col
lege never has been more than {

Jacksonian revolution, in giving brit
to nominating conventions, brough
the choice nearer the people.
Not that the people yet choose
their presidential nominees. A ma
chine does that, but its manipulation
is tempered by the latent power o
the people.
Nevertheless, the introduction of tn
