FRANKLIN K. LANE.

! For a number of years Franklin K. Lane has been prominently before the eyes of the public because Of the posi- tions he has held and the manner in which he has discharged his duties in connection herewith How well he served and how deep an impression that service made is indicated by the asser- ticn which has been freely made to the effect that had he been born in this coun- try he would have stood high in the list of those favored for presidential can didatAs. The fact that he was born in Canada, although from the time he was a very small boy he had lived along the Pacific coast of this country, was enough to disQualify him for such an office but It didn't decrease the appreciation that was manifested for his ability. Perhaps the fact that he was identified with the democratic party was responsible for the fact that he was not more successful in ET-ring for office in his own state of California, but recognition of his quali- hcationB nevertheless extended far be- yond party bounds.
 It was in fact that he was brought into national prominence by President Roosevelt 16 years ago when he was named a member of the interstate com merce commission in which body he rem dered valuable service and where he was when he was selected by President Wilson as a member of his cabinet There MT. Lane demonstrated again his broadnindednese and a determination tc bring the department of the interior tc a higher standing. He showed himself
 to be worker, forward locker and a man of good judgment although that
 somehow did not appeal to President
 Wilson to the extent that might hav'
 been expected. There developed an es
 arrangement that was undoubtedly tn,
 cause of his resignation over 6 year agt from tho cabinet.
 In the death of Franklin K Lane tn kcountry has lost a strong man at 6 tim
 when he was in q position to render hi
 best service. He may have been borl
 in Canada but he was unquestionahl
 thoroughly developed as an American.

oDD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
THE WOODWORKING PARTY.


 The middle of the past century there were many political parties of many diff ferent names. the result of the great ex- a very short life, while others grew to such strength that they were able. for a time. to control politics. One of these parties came to be known as the Know Nothings. This party in 1852 suddenly gained an ascendency in several states, and then as rapidly declined.
 The work of the Know -Nothings was closely allied with the American and Nativist parties, and it aimed, through very stringent naturalization laws, to make politically powerless the large num- Der of immigrants then settling in the United States, and through other means to check the growth of foreign influences and ideas.
 The name is said to have been at first The Sons of '76, or the Order of the Star Spangled Banner. Its real name and ob- jects were not revealed even 10 it's mem bers until they had reached the higher de- gree. and their constant answer, when questioned on these subjects-'I don't know'-bscame almost a shibboleth of the order and gave 1t the popular name by which 1t is still known.
 It was seriously believed by a great many that it was a part of the policy of ifhe European government to send over to this country the undesirable elements of l their popula tion so as to weaken the na- | tienal character as well as the national tie, and thereby SOW disorder in America. After the revolutionary outbreaks in Europe in 1918 great numbers of Germans came to America. They did not seek nat uralization and some of them even vaunt- ] ed that they would establish German states in the west and defy the govern ment of the United States These senti- rnents took up alarming character in the popular ina gination and opposition tc them found expression in the halls oi congress.
 The rise of the Know-Nothings or Amer ican party is involved in obscurity. The party had for it's tenets the exclusion o1 foreigners from all national, state anC municipal offices. Its watchword was saying attributed to Washington+"Pu none but Americans on guard tonight"
 It finally became impossible to longe disguise the existence of the party or |, ] preserve secret it's tenets or it's personnel In 1855 the Know-Nothings came out al a distinct party, held convention a Philadelphia and promulgated a platform Almost every state in the union was rep resented, All secret machinery was abol

ished and the party went before the coun- try with a get of principles which centered in a demand for more stringent natural izatien laws. and in a less strong sense resistance to the aggressive policy of the Roman Catholic church."
 So long as the Kpow-Nothing party was one of secret lodges. it had the same op- portunity to grow any other secret or der, but it was asking too much to expect the country at large to give endorsement to a public attack upon any religious body on the part of a national political party.
 The candidate who presented himself for admission to the first degree in the party placed his hand upon the Holy Bible and the cross, and pledged himself by solemn oath to secrecy. He was also ex- pected to take an oath not to vote for any man unless he were Protestant. of American birth, and in favor of Ameri cans ruling America.
 The novitiate then received the pass word and the sign and recognition and grips were explained to him. When he challenged a brother he asked What timer" and received the reply Time for work" Then he asked Are yeu?" and received the reply We are" The new members were also informed that notices of the meetings were communicated by means of triangular pieces of paper. If red paper was used. 1t wa ga sign of dan ger.
 The moral agitation which expressed itself in a wave of Protestant fanaticisTn was symptomatic of the unnatural state | of the public mind. On election day Catholic cathedrals had to be barricad- l ed and churches of that denomination were frequently placed under military guard to prevent being fired or pillagAd. In the fall of 1854 the elections failed to fulfill the anticipations of those who 1 hoped for very large Know-nothins vote. The party carried Massachuset tts and Delaware, and showed some strength in the Middle States. In 1855 it was sue cessful in four New England States and in New York. Kentucky and California
 In 1856 many of the adherents deserted
 the party and voted for John c. Ere

Stories That Recall Other.
What She Could Be


 Two tots were recently overheard dis cussing their plans for the future. What are you going to be when you get big?" asked one.
 Well. I'm not going to be married and am not going to be an old maid, '" Was the reply.
 You will have to be one or the oth- er." was the reply.
 T won't either" was the reioinder. T guess I can be nurse"
 Like Father. Like Son. The boy of five and his mother were riding on one of those cars with two long seats, facing each other. A come ly young woman got on the car lily, sis"' shouted the tot to the wo- man, and his mother who did not recog. nizs her as one of her friends was shocked.
 Look here. Johnny, you shouldn't speak to people like that" she repri manded.

When he declares that American ships are required to have too many men it is only saying in other words that there is need of revising the laws that govern our shipping that it may continue to do business as against that of foreign nations where expenses are less and requirements less severe, Thus it would appear that the shipping problem Is far from complete solution.

LANDLORD TRIED TO OVER.

McAlester. Olka.-Judge Taylor at
police court Monday night was call
ed upon TO decide just how far a
landlord of a rooming house can
legally go in inquiring into the
maneuvers Of his roomers.
Mrs. Emma Lewis was the com.
planning witness and in her testi.
mony stated that A. J. Miller, pro.
prietor of tile Thompson flats on
West Grand avenue, had talked to
her angrily and had made threats Of
custer, all of which had disturbed
the peace and dignity Of herself and
family.
The Judge decided that while Mr..
Miller had probably exceeded his
rights in the matter the evidence
produced did not warrant a fine up
on Mr.. Miller for disturbance of the
peace.
SO with lecture to all parties
upon the futility Of taking little
troubles into the courts the case
was dismissed.
