‘e . The ngOIll&f Bannex LIGONIER, INDIANA . OLD-AGE PENSIONS, The expected has happened. A bill for old-age pensions has been introduced in the house of representatives. The introducer is William Bauchop Wilson of Blossburg, Pa., former coal miner, {ormer international secretary of the United Mine Workers of America, who now makes a living for his ten children on a farm, when he is not lucky ¢énough to be drawing a representative’s salary, says Brooklyn Eagle. The provisions of the bill give $l2O 'a year to each man or woman over the age of ‘sixty-five who has neither property worth $1,500 nor an Income of over $240 a year. Modesty ls to be expected of an entering wedge. But Wilson’s measure lis too modest by ‘half. This is a rich country. How can it expect a person over sixty-five years old to live comfortably on $l2O a year? If the old-age pension In each case were fixed at, say $5,000 1 year, more monhey would be put in dremlation and anyone would have a notive for seeking longevity. Nobody would be silly enough to nurse thrift )r to pursue industry any farther than would be needed to keep life going till ‘he age of sixty’ﬂve should be reached. for that matter, why not make the age brty? This is an era of humanitarian pxperimentation. 5

Is Cuba to furnish the -means of safeguarding the forests and producing p}aper at a moderate cost? It is announced from that island that experiments in manufacturing paper from sugar-cane fiber have proved entirely successful, and that the product can be_turned out at much less cost than from wood pulp. Of course the cane is what is left after the sugar has been extracted, and thus another by-product comes into play. It has also been asserted that American cornstalks may be converted into paper. As there fis practically an unlimited supply of such material, making good the assertion should be a very important step in conservation., .- .

Crossing the English channel ir. an airship semes to have become almost a habit. Louils Bleriot led -the way nearly a year ago and ~vas followed by Jacques de Lesseps May 21 last. Both those aviators were Frenchmen, and they flew [rom Franee to England. Now Charles Stewart Rolls, an~ Englishman, has made the trip from England to France and back again without a stop, and therefore holds the record tn this particular line of achievement. And he did the trick in a Wright aeroplané, so America gets at least part of the credit. : }Dispatches from Seattle report an altmost unprecedented rush to the gold fields of Alaska. This does not look as though there were general aoceptance of that story that a Scranton alchemist has discovered a method of transmuting baser materials into gold and silver, which, if actually done, would inevitably minimize the value of the yellow and white metals. In short, the modern prospector or speculator has no use for the philosopher’s stone, so eagerly sought by tbe ancients.

The movement for the devising of sanitary rules for all passenger trains and railroad stations is not aimed at the carrying operatiens, because ‘it originated among them, and was suggested by Dr. W.

BAN ON FIGHT FILMS

MOVEMENT AGAINST THEIR EXHIBITION IS NOW WORLD"WIDE. :

MANY CITIES TAKE ACTION

Pictures of Battle Between Johnson and Jeffries Declared to Be Demoralizing and Llikely to Cause Race Troubles. ;

New York.—A movement is on foot which promises to become world wide in {ts scope, to prevent the exhibition of the Jeffries-Johnson prize fight plctures. The United Societies of the Christian Endeavor, with 4,000, 000 members and the International Association of Police Chiefs are the leaders of the crusade.

The Christian Endeavor society, through its Boston headquarters, telegraphed to the governor of every state in the Union Wednesday, asking that the pictures be barred on the ground that they reproduce an illegal act, and that their exhibition would be Jjust ‘as lllegal as the actual fight. Secretary W!}llam Shaw declared that he had wired President Taft, Colonel Roogevelt and Governor Hughes, asking them to use their influence to prevent the pictures from being exhibited. _

The American Vitagraph company, which owns the fight films, is believed to have spent $250,000 in purchasing the exclusive rights and in taking the pictures. Jeffries was paid $66,666, while Johnson got $50,000. Rickard and Gleason each got onesixth. In addition tlke moving picture concern spent a small fortune sending a score of expert operators to Reno and in other incidental expenses. "The picture people expected to take in,51,000,000 during the first month the pictures were. on exhibition. .

Among the larger cities that have already put the stamp of disapproval on the pictures are: Washington, Virginia (entire state), Fort Worth, Tex.; Baltimore, Boston, Lincoln, Neb.; Lduisville, Lexington, Ky.; Cincinnati, Atlanta, Harrisburg, Pa.; Los Angeles, Savannah, and the whole state of Towa.

In many southern cities the agitation against the fight -pictures is increasing, due to the fact that a negro was the victor. The crusade has extended abroad. In Johannesburg, South Africa, the blograph halls themgelves have: prohibited the pictures.

RECLAMATION ACT IS VALID

Appellate Court Hands Down “FarReaching Decislon ‘Concerning Arid Lands. -

San Francisco.—A far-reaching decisfon, directly affecting the $20,000,000 appropriation recently -‘made by congress and the reclamation service, wherein the United States court of appeals sustains the circuit court of Idaho's contention that the reclamation act .is constitutional, was rendered here Tuesday. The decision establishes the right of the secretary of the interior to acquire by condemnation or otherwise lands and waters in the furtherance of any reclamation project. The importance to the west lies in the fact that already the government has expended millions of dollars in the work of reclaiming the arid lands of the west, and congress but a short time ‘ago apprepriated $20,000,000 for the work to be done this year.

The decision of the court of appeals also extends to tpe right of the government to take over any needed private water rights in carrying out the provisions of the act.

This makes the irrigation projects aof the west authorized by law and will permit a resumption of work in many sections without delay. i

HAS PRAISE FOR POINDEXTER

CONGRESSMAN HAS CONFERENCE - WITH ROOSEVELT.

“Insurgent” |s Candidate for United States Senator From State of Washington.

Oyster Bay, N. Y. — One of Colonel Roosevelt's .important conferences was held with Representative Poindexter, an Insurgent from the state of Washington, - : " It can be stated that Congressman Poindexter left Sagamore Hill with strong assurances that he will have the support of Colonel Roosevelt in his campaign fight for the United States senatorship, : Mr. Poindexter, after hls visit with Colonel Roosevelt, said: *“He is the same old president. The man I have worked with and loved, and 1 am still going to work with. He is just the same as’' ever. He is a wonderful leader, and he is still the leader. I am tremendously pleased with ray talk with him. He must tell the details, if he wishes, of our conversation. Colonel Roosevelt and 1 and my associates have always worked together, and he assured me that we will continue together.’ Congressman Poindexter pepresents the district from which Secretary Ballinger comes. \ In speaking of the visit of Mr. Poindexter, Mr. Roosevelt said: “Representative Poindexter and I went over together the political situation In the northwest. He assured me that he is in hearty sympathy with my conservation policies. Mr. Poindexter fs .a . candidate for the position of United States senator and he is politfcally opposed to that wing of the party headed by Secretary Ballinger. Mr. Poindexter {s a fine type of.a man.” : :

- Washington.—Secretary Ballinger of the interior department, who returned to Washington from Beverly Wednesday, referred to a report from Oyster Pay ‘that former President Roosevelt had espoused the cause of Representative Miles Poindexter as a candidate for the senate to succeed Senator Piles of Washington, and. said: “If the published report is true Mr. Roosevelt has been led astray by the deception of people who claim to be his friends.” He added that he had taken no active part in the politics of Washington for a long time and denied that he headed the party in that state or any wing of it. “I do not consider Mr. Poindexter a Republican,” he continued, “but a rank Socialist. or, rather, if he is not one he will be one soon.” :

Beverly, Mass.—After a long conference with President Taft here Tuesday Secretary Richard A. BalHnger of the interior department made the emphatic announcement that he will not resign from the cabinet, no matter what the verdict of thé congressional investigating committee may be. o Secretary Ballinger announced that the policy toward public domain would retain the spirit of comnservatlon, but would also encourage the privilege of development. When some one referred to it “and the Taft-Bal-linger policy,” he sald: ° “You may call it what you like, but I will tell you one thing—it will follow the lines of the law.”

Earlier in the day, before seeing Mr. Taft, Mr. Ballinger said that he “was not a quitter,”” but would not discuss a resignation. After his talk with -the president, Mr. Ballinger announced positively that he would not quit. :

HUGHES FOR CHIEF JUSTICE

Governor Will Probably Succeed Mel- © ville W. Fuller As Head of : Supreme Court. =~

Washington.—With , the death of Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller and the probable retirement of Associate Justice Willilam H. Moedy of the Supreme court, President Taft will have two vacancies in that court to fll within the next few months.

It is generally believed that Gov. Charles E.SHughes of New York, who has been confirmed as an associate justice, will be promoted to chief justice, and that Lloyd W. Bowers of Chicago, solicitor general of the department of justice, will be appointed justice in his place. The other alternative suggested is that Mr. Bowers be made chief justice, it having been understood here for some time that the president considered him qualified in all legal respects for the place. It is known, however, that President Taft has considered Governor Hughes also in this connection so far as hig abilities are concerned. In the event of the retirement of Associate Justice Moody it is believed there is a strong possibility that a Democrat will take his place. With the death of Chief Justice Fuller only two Democrats remain on the Supreme bench—Associate Justices White and Lurton.

Aged Jurist Passes Away Suddenly ~ at Sorrento, Maine.

Chicago.—Funeral services over the body of the late Chief Justice -Melville Weston Fuller of the Supreme court of the United States were held in this city Friday. The funeral ceremony was recited by Rev. James E. Freeman of ' Minneapolis, a warm friend of the family. Justice Fuller was buried in Graceland cemetery, beside his wife, who died six years ago. ; Accompanying the body from the east was Governor Hughes of New York and Justices White, Holmes, Day and McKenna and Maj. J. M. Wright, marshal of the Supreme court. All members of the state and federal bench now in the city attended the funeral, as did also 25 leading ,members of the Iroquois club. Several courts in various parts of the state were closed in tribute to the memory of the chief justice, The first services over the remains of the late chief justice were held Wednesday in the Church of the Redeemer at Sorrento, the little Protestant Episcopal edifice at which Mr. Fuller worshiped while at his summer home in Maine. The ritual was read by Rev. Mr. Freeman, in accordance with the last request of Mr. Fuller. The casket was almost covered with flowers and near the altar were other fioral tributes, among thme a beautiful piece from President Taft, who found it fmpossible to be present.

Bar Harbor, Me.—Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller of the United States | Bupreme court died from heart failureat his summer home in Sorrento at! six o’clock Monday morning. The death of the chief magistrate was unexpected, as he had been in fairly good health lately, and there had been no premonitory symptoms of any kind of trouble. Sunday he at-, tended church as usnal, and when he retired at night he was to .all appearances in his customary health.

Death came about six o’clock Monday morning. His daughter, Mrs. Nathaniel Francis, and Rev. James E. Freeman, who was a guest of Justice Fuller's at his Sorrento cottage, “Main Stay,” were -with the jurist when he died.

The funeral services will be held at Sorrento and the interment will be at Chicago. ' ; . For many years the chief justice had spent his summers at Sorrento, a summer colony located on Frenchman’s day, five miles from Bar Harbor. .

A Great American.

To Chief Justice Fuller fell the honor of third rank for length of servlce as presiding justice in the highest tribunul of the American government. For 22 years he was chief justiee of the Supreme court of the United States, Chief Justice Marshall presided over the court for 34 years and Chief Justice Taney for 28 years.

Inducing a Sneeze,

Probgbly everybody has experienced the displeasure, if not actual pain, which comes from missing a sneeze. There is an easy way out of this if oye happens to be out of doors at the timesvan dthe weather is clear. Just glan:e at the sun. There is something about the brightness of it that supplies the missing irritation, or whatever i} is that is needed, and nine times out «f ten if the sneeze has not got too far away it will come back.— New Yerk Sun.

Well Answered.

A man advertised for a wife and rejuested each candidate to inclose her “carte-de-viste.” A spirited young lady wrote to the advertiser in the following terms: “Sir, I do not inclose my ‘carte,’ for though there is some authority for putting a ‘cart’ before a horse, I know of none for putting one before an ass.”

Lectures for Country Pastures.

The Maine Agricultural college proposes to establish lectures especially for country pastors. ' '

With .the future rests the determina tion of his rank among the eight chief justices of history for ability and accomplishments. Before Grover Cleveland sent his name to the senate on April 30, 1888, for confirmation as chiet justice, he was - practically unknown except tc miembers of the legal profession. In Mzaine, where he was born on Febru ary 11, 1833, he had been known as a well-behaved, rather scholarly lad He had gone to Bowdoin college, and incidentally, there won most of the prizes for elocution. He had gone down to Harvard law school for one year. ¢

His Great Argument.

From 1856 to 1888 he lived in Chi cago, but attracted Mttle attention out slde his immediate circle of friend: and associates at the bar until he undertook the defense of Bishop Cheney on a charge of heresy. His knowledge of ecclesiastical history and procedure astonithed those whc conducted the case, sad his argument of the cause of the Bishop before the supreme court of Illinois is referred tc still as a forensic effort seldom if evel surpassed in that court. " He was a delegate to the national conventions of the Democratic party in 1864, 1872, 1876 and 1880.

The nomination of Mr. Fuller, ther fifty-five years of age, was followed by a memorable contest in the senate. The judiciary committee. with fts Republican majerity, to which the nomination was sent April 30, held up the appointment until July 20 Then the committee reported it to the senate “without recommendation.”

For three hours that body debated in executive session whether to con firm or reject the nomination. The attack on Mr. Fuller was led by Sena tors Edmunds, Evarts and Stewart Senators Cullom and Farwell defend ed him. >

The reports that he had been ¢ “copperhead” during the Civil war and that he did not possess the re quisite ability as a lawyer were gune over. :

His Great Victory.

Finally, by a vote of 41 to 20, his nomination was confirmed. Since that day the entire court ai it then existed has passed away witl the single exception of Justice Har lan. Of those prominent in the fight over his confirmation only Senatos Cullom remains, and President Cleve land, who thus honored the Illinois lawyer, has tl;ﬁus gone to his grave. ~ Throughout his service Chief Jus tice Fuller was noted for the dignity with which he filled the position. He preserved that manner om the benct or off. :

Although small of stature, not more than five feet seven inches, his wealtt of silvery hair and classic features made him a commanding figure wher ever he appeared.

Climatic Differences.

On the coast of southeastern Alasgks the average annual precipitation is about ninety inches and trees grow to a large size; in the central plateau the precipitation is less than fifteer inches, including the melted SnOw. and the average size of timber is small; while on the arctic slope, north of Rocky mountains, climatic condi tions make forest growht altogether impossible, and those vast tundras are covered chiefly with moss, sedges and a few small shrubs. =

Valuable Pointer.

In commenting upon the fact that Kansas stands at the head in raising mules, we wish to add that is the only safe place to stand. It also is besi to keep.as near the head as possible when putting the harness on.

Ways of the Wise Rat.

Careful experiments have provei the truth of the ancient belief that by letting down its tail and licking th¢ end the rate extracts oil, milk, wing molasses, etc.,, from deep or narro4 necked vessels, ¢

GHEERS GREET JACK

OVATION IS GIVEN "CHAMPION JOHNSON ON HIS ARRIVAL HOME.

“ARTHA” GRINS WITH DELIGHT

Filing of Suit to Recover Diamond Ring Mars Greatest Welcome Ever Accorded to a Col- : ored Man.

Chicago.—A welcome such as no other colored man of modern times has received was accorded Jack Johnson when he returned to his home here Thursday. » So tremendous was the crush of humanity which poured from all quarters that the combined efforts of a squad of policemen put there for the purpose failed to keep back the press. Clubs were drawn and used freely by the bluecoats, but, undaunted, the throng pressed on, rending the air with. their cries. Hats were tossed sykward and when they came down their owners long since had been pushed forward and away from them. For a space of fully five minutes the champion was so hemmed in by the mob that he could not move in any direction.

Then a band of policemen formed a flying wedge, and plunged down the platform with the colored pugilist among them, but at the end of the platform near the station steps another'body of fight “fans” met their companions and another enforced delay ensued. And all the time the shouting grew wilder and wilder. Suddenly above the heads of the throng was seen the head and shoulders of a big colored man. It was Jack Johnson and he was being carried on the shoulders of the men of his race. Up the steps they ran with him and bundled him into an auto which stood at the curb. The multitude fell back and the big fellow stood up in his car, smiled and waved his hand. There was no doubt of it. Jack ‘Johnson was “tickled to death.” Pursued by fight fans and admirers in automobiles, his machine was driven rapidly to his home in Wabash avenue. Along the thoroughfare crowds wildly cheered. In front of his mother's home about 6,000 persons packed {he street, and it took the champion nearly fifteen minutes to get from the curb into the house. His mother was first to greet him as he entered.

Hardly had the black champion reached his home city before George W. Little, his former manager, filed a suit against him for the recovery of a diamond ring, said to be worth $1,200, which Johnson is wearing.

TAFT TO TAKE YACHT CRUISE

President Will Extend Vacation Ten . Days and Make Trip Along Maine Coast.

Beverly, Mass.—President Taft decided Thursday that at the end of his ten days’ vacation he will take a ten days’ cruise in the naval yacht Mayflower for the purpose of resting up. The cruise will start on July 18, on which date, donning the uniform of commander-in-chief of the navy, which, by the way, is the same as that of commander-in-chief of the army and president, Mr. Taft, accompanied by his family, will board the Mayflower and weigh anchor for Bar Harbor and other summer ports of call on the Maine coast. Bar Harbor will be the base from which short trips will be made to near-by points. The party will gleep on board the yacht at night, but will probably go ashore at various places where the golfing looks good. “A convoy will probably follow the Mayflower, as it is regarded as too great a risk to have the president go to sea without assistance being in easy reach in case of accident.

PETER’S CONFESSION

Sunday Schoel Lessoa for July 17, 1910

Specially Arranged for This Paper

LLESSON TEXT.—Matthew 16:13-28. Memory verse, 26 AR

GOLDEN TEXT.—"“Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”"—Matthew 18:16, TlME.—Autumn of A. D. 29, ) PLACE.—The picturesque region around Caesarea Philippi. at the base of Mount Hermon. About 25 miles northeast of the Rea of Galilee. i .

Suggestion and Practical Thought. - The Disciples Have a New Vision of Jesus as the Messiah.—Vs: 13-17. “He asked his disciples,” after he had

been praying alone (Luke). As usual, the great epoch, the new work, began In prayer—showing its importance. His object seems to have been to draw out the faith of his disciples, .and to reveal to them more fully his nature and his redeeming work. “Whom d&o men say that I the Son of man am?”

P 4. “Some say . . . John ° the Baptist” returned to life. Among these was Herod (Matt. 14:1, 2). “Some, Elias” (Greek form of Elijah), who was the expected forerunner of the Messiah (Mal. 4:5; Matt. 11:14). -Or “Jeremias.” - Greek of Jeremiah, a representative of the prophets, being the first named in the Jewish canon. “Or one of the prophets;” i. e., “that one of the old prophets is risen again” (Luke 9:19. . .

15. “But whom say ye that I am?" Observe “ye,” plural, and by position In the Greek, exceedingly emphatic: 16. “And Simon Peter.” The somewhat impulsive nature of Peter made possible to him quick “insight, new visions of truth. X : “Thou art the Christ.” " The Messiah for whom the Jews were looking, for whom the ages had been preparing. “The Son of the living God,” such a one as alone can be the Savior of the world. No mere man however great can be our Supreme Leader and Savior. )

17. “Blessed are thou.”: Because thou hast opened thy heart to the truth. Faith, knowledge of Christ as the Son of God, almighty to save and infinite in love; a heart in which tfuth finds a natural soil; a character in harmony with Jesus; broader outlooks into truth—are all exquisite blessings. “Simon Bar-jona.” Simon, son of John. “For flesh an’d blood hath not revealed it unto thee.” . ' The New Trust Cominitted to the Disciples.—Vs. 18-20. Although the understanding of the Messiah and his kingdom was very imperfect, yet Jesus showed them how great was the trust committed to them, and how heavy the responsibilities laid upon them. This was a part of their training. It would give them a deep interest in the subject, and lead to a more earnest search after the truth. 19. “I will give unto thee,” as. the

representative of all. The others were included, as Peter had nothing in kind that the rest did not have (Matt. 18:18; John 20:23). In Rev. 21:14 the 12 apostles are 12 foundation stones of the heavenly city. (See also Eph. 2, 20). ' ) i

20. “Tell no man.” Only those who knew Jesus as they did, could understand. To present Jesus as the Messiah would lead some to try to make him a worldly king according to their ideas of the Messiah; and repel those who saw that it was impossible for Jesus to do what they wanted their Messiah to do. > The New Revelation as to How the Christ, the Messiah, Must Accomplish His Work.—Vs. 21-23. Jesus now began to tell his disciples what he must do in order_to be the Messiah. He must suffer and die for the sins of the world. There is no other way. ° >

23. Jesus “said unto Peter.” Publicly before them all. “Get thee behind me, Satan.” ‘“Satan” means “adversary,” the great ‘“enemy” of all good, used in the Savior's time as a

proper name. “He did not call his apostle Satan, a devil, but he looked for the moment through Peter,, and saw behind him his old enemy,” who had presented the same temptation in the wilderness. 7 ‘

The Cross the Way to the Crown, for the Disciples as for the Christ— Vs. 2426. “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself.” Renounce self as master and accept Christ as master. When the heart accepts Jesus and chooses God, then the whole lower nature, all passions, aims, desires, are to be subjected ‘not only to conscience, but to Jesus. “Take up his cross.” Daily, not merely on special occasions.. “And follow mnie,” do what 1 am doing, live according to my plan and aim. i " Taking up the cross is to voluntarily do and suffer whatever hard things are required in walking in the way of righteousness, and in serving our fellow men, our country, and .the kingdom of God.- It is to accept cheerfully from the hand of God the sufferings, the sickness, the trials, the losses God sends upon us, or allows to come to

25. “For whosoever will save his life,” makes it his chief aim to get the most out of his life for himself, pleasures, honors, wealth, happiness, “shall lose it,” lose the best things that life can give, and most of the things he chiefly sought. A selfish man can never be truly successful. .

The Supreme Example and Proof of the Above Teaching.—Vs. 27-28. The life of Jesus had presented to his followers seemedﬁhard and discouraging. They may well have felt as Pliable did when, on his way to the Celestial City, persuaded by Christian’s pictures of its glories to undertake the journey, he suddenly found himself plunged into the Slough of Despond, and exclaimed, “Is this the happiness you have told me all this while of?” So Christ seemed in effect to say, Are you discouraged? Do you hesitate to follow me under such circumstances? Let me open the windows of the Future, that you may see how my teaching is fulfilled in your leader, now on his way to suffering and death, but you shall see him raised from the dead, “For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels,” and “There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man, coming in his kingdom.” If we read pright they did see it, and he rendered ‘eevr} man ascording to his works.”
