THE MYSTERIOUS MILLIONS.

When the senate committee was taking testimony
in Chicago several days ago about contributions to
democratic and republican campaign funds women
senographers in the employee of certain internal rev.
enue collectors, swore TO being asked to contribute
some of their salaries to help elect Cox. And they
did turn over money, some delivering $40 and some
giving notes payable in instruments.
After the committee left Chicago somebody in
the internal revenue office there found $2,225,00O
in the vaults. which could not be accounted for.
Nobody knew the money was there and the records
did not show from what source it came, according
to the collector Perhaps this fund belongs but bad
bookkeeping did not so show
The collector ought to put the office girls upon
the stand. OF course it is not probable that $40
contributions could have piled up into millions even
if all the revenue clerks between the two oceans
listened to the call. The money -getters might have
been working the outside.
We wait and believe that the millions will be
properly accounted for without worrying Governor
Cox and the democratic campaign committee.
But what a startling scoop Editor Cox would
have made had the unexplained money been found
in the hands of republicans! What dire designs
maybe, to buy the presidency and the near fifteen
millions of democratic men and women voters for

One Way to Do 1t.


Editor Morning Journal
On the fourth day of July
this year, which occurred on
a Sunday, superintendent of
one of our Sunday schools
! asked his scholars if any of
them would please report to him
| on the following Lords day, the
year in the Twentieth century on
which our Independence Day falls
on Sunday.
Remembering that Webster's
Unabridged dictionary contained
"Herschel's Perpetual Calendar"
| / undertook to find the years. This
is an excellent calendar when
properly understood, the small size
of the letters and figures used IN
the table rendering it difficult to
find any particular year; and then
it covers only 212 years, from 1850
to 1861, inclusive, being good for
only Al years more of the present
century. / then took up "Allison's
Eight Hundred Year Calendar; an
arrangement of letters and figures
by which one may readily deter
mine the day of the week upon
which any date falls, from the year
1900 to 2499, inclusive" By using
this calendar the years were soon
found. The years during the
Twentieth century, on which the
fourth day of July falls on a Sun
day, are as follows: 1909, 1916,
1920, 1926, 1897, 1943, 1913, 1854,
1865, 1871, 1875, 1882, 1898, 1899.

apart, except at the end of certain
centuries that are not leap years, |
thus making a space of eight years
between two leap years, so inter
feres with our Independence Day |
falling on a Sunday in regular or
der, as to cause these dates to be
from five, six and eleven, and occa- |
sionally twelve years apart. The
finding of these dates is an easy |
matter.
The real pleasure in the work is |
in tracing ont the reason why these |
dates occur at such irregular in
tervals. To illustrate this; the last
year in the Nineteenth century on
which the fourth day of July fell |
on a Sunday was the year 1897,
and the first time it fell on sun
day in the Twentieth century was
in the year 1909, twelve years in

years ago to get senators chosen by President Will

Daniels says: "Oh, pshaw, that Maine vote means

There is reading of the stars

ence Day would have fallen on a

Many years ago | was told that
the reason why the fourth day of
March was chosen on which TO
qualify the incoming president
was because it very seldom fell on
a sunday n the Inauguration years.
The years 1921, 1S49 and 1877 are
those on which the fourth of
March Tell on a Sunday; and the
result was that James Monroe.
Zachary Taylor and Rutherford n.
Hayes, respectively, were sworn on
the fifty day. The years in the
present century in when the fourth
Of March falls on a Sunday are:
1917. 1915 and 1873. ~.
And now comes the Twenty first
century, and because the year 1000
can be divided 10y 400 without a
remainder we will have four pres
idents to be sworn into office on
the fifth day of March; these years
being POOL, 2029, 2057 and 20S5.
And now comes on the Twenty
second century beg ming with the
year 210l, in which three presi-
dents Will have to be indicted into
Office on the fourth day of March;
and 1t will be observed that all of
them are respectively four years
later than those of the Nineteenth
century-2125, 2153 and 21S1.
Now comes the Twenty-third CEN
fury, beginning with the year 22O1,
and here we find the same years
as in the Nineteenth century,
namely: 1921, 2249 and 227T.
And now comes the Twenty fourth
century, which begins with the
year 1901, and the years are 2S17,
2S45 and 2373, the same as those
in the Twentieth century, only they
are 400 years later. And now
comes on the Twenty fifth CEN
fury, the last in the calendar, be-
ginning with the year 2401, and
because the year 2400 is Invisible
by 400 without a remainder, four

the years are an exact repetition of
