When you see Old Glory going by don't forget to uncover and stand so until it is passed. "It's a grand old rag," as George Cowan expresses it in slang in his popular song, and well worth every iota of respect and loving appreciation you show it.

THE WOMEN OF THE CIVIL WAR. Yesterday citizens all over the country met to do homage to the fallen heroes of our great civil war and to show their appreciation and reverence for those gray-haired veterans of that Great struggle, who still are with us. But what of the mothers of fifty years ago, who willingly sent their sons into the jaws of death for the sake of the republic, who never saw them again and knew that they had fallen upon some bloody battlefield way down in the Southland, and there gasped out the breath of life through gaping wounds gained in the service of their country? What of the young wives and sweethearts who lost their loved ones in that four years of hellish warfare that took aa its toll 300,000 lives? These women should be honored. By their great sacrifices they might well be termed the mothers of the republic and as such should have a place in the gratitude of our hearts second to none. Uncomplainingly they have come down the cycle of the years since the war of the rebellion bereft of those most dear to them. Cheerfully have they gone amongst us all these years bearing their cross Spartan like nor giving any evidence of the gnawing pain in their hearts for those lost to them so many years ago. They made their sacrifices for their country and, therefore, for us, for we as citizens, are the country. They gave up their dear ones because a principle of the republic was at stake. Hereafter when decoration, or memorial day comes around don't forget these unselfish women who did so much for us half a century ago and who, living with us today even, never express nor have a regret for all they have lost for their country's sake.

NSTRUMENT TO SEE AROUND THE WORLD

London Inventor Has Peculiar Piece of Mechanism.

Washington, May 30. Congressman Smith, of the Southern district of Illinois, has discounted one of Australia's

favorite stories by actual experience. Australia bushmen are noted for long periods of silence. The story referred to concerns two bushmen who lived in a shanty and herded sheep. One day one bushman, hearing a noise: "Mam's fighting." The other took exception. "Bears," he said. A week later the bushman who first spoke came into camp. "It was rams, all right." he remarked. The other began to pack his traps. "What's a'matter?" asked the other. "Gon'a quit this place. Too much argu'fyin'," said the other. Congressman Smith beats this. He was campaigning in his district and was being driven about the country by a livery stable employe. They came to the banks of the Wabash. The yellow stream suggested fish. Congressman Smith, to be amiable, asked: "Like fish?" "Yep," answered the driver. Nothing more was said. The next campaign Ccgressman Smith was again campaigning in the same district. By chance he had the same driver, and they again came to the banks of the Wabash. The water once more suggested fish. "How?" asked Congressman Smith. "Fried," answered the driver.

When Congressman William P. Hubbard was elected to the house to succeed Captain B. B. Dovener, the West Virginian's predicted great things for him. Mr. Hubbard is a big, brusque man and an able corporation lawyer. His stature is imposing and he has brains enough for two ordinary men. When William Owens Mercer Dawson was nominated for governor, Mr. Hubbard was the leader of the Dawson forces against those of Charles F. Teter, of Philippi. The convention opened with the factional lines drawn sharply. There were sharp replies and bitter accusations of fraud, bribery and political trickery. Zacharlah Taylor Vinson, of Huntington, and Judge Reese Blizzard, of Parkersburg, led the Teter forces. Senator Stephen Elkins was chairman. Congressman Joseph Holt Saines was a delegate. In the morning Dawson's name was placed before the convention and shortly after, Teter's. Then began

the battle. All afternoon the balloting went on, the delegations removing coats and vests in their enthusiasm and forgetting all about lunch and recess. Newspaper men wrote with both hands and Senator Elkins ever and anon mopped his troubled face with an enormous handkerchief and looked uncomfortable, wishing, doubtless, that he could be extricated from a most embarrassing and delicate position. It was finally the hour of 6 in the evening and there had not been a nominee. Then one of the Teter delegates moved that the convention adjourn until the next day. The Dawsonites did not want this, because they feared they would lose strength over night. The delegate, in an impassioned appeal, stated that the delegations had been traveling all night, and they hadn't eaten for 12 hours and that they should adjourn in the name of humanity. "I am sure Mr. Hubbard wants to eat," shouted the delegate. "I had rather vote than eat," said Hubbard, and the voting went on harder than ever.

statement instead of giving it to you verbally." Then he takes a pen and writes: "When Mr. Burke was seen todaj te was quite reticent concerning the Smith case, in which he is retained. In reply to all of the questions which were asked him, he politely refused to divulge any information. He intimated strongly, however, that a sensation might be developed if a certain tentative plan is followed out." Then he smiles and says: "Thank, you; good bye." j

One of the most approachable men, either in the upper or lower house of congress, is James Francis Burke, of Pittsburg, a republican statesman of great fame and honor in his home town and of much esteem and respect in Washington. Mr. Burke Is the friend of every newspaper man who desires an' interview or a bit of information. In Pittsburg Mr. Burke might be termed the bancuet Idol or the king of after-dinner speakers. He takes the place of Chauncey Depew in his home town, and no big public function is complete unless the kindly face of the lawyer-congressman is present. Mr. Burke used to be a newspaper man before he became a lawyer. Perhaps his political faculty has something to do with it, but anyone who seeks a conference with him can obtain it, no matter how great is the stress of business. Mr. Burke is a diplomat, too. Sometimes a reporter enters his office. Will Mr. Burke see him? The surest thing you know. Then comes two or three pointed questions about something which Mr. Burke doesn't want to discuss. "Ah, my friend," Burke will say: "This is a delicate subject, and if you do not object I shall write out my

Mr. Bartholdt is chairman of the public buildings and grounds committee, and , this position gives him a rank of high importance in public, affairs. When aj town wants a new postoffice or a new I government building they begin to shine up to Mr. Bartholdt, saying hon- i eyed words and inviting himself and his committee to partake of the hospitality of the city. j The chamber of commere of a Penn-; sylvania city decided to invite Mr. Bar-

tholdt's committee and a special car j

took the congressman across the intervening states to Pittsburg, where they were met by a large and enthusiastic delegation of citizens. Congressman James Francis Burke and Andrew Jackson Barchfeld were to do the honors. A special train was in waiting to

SALUTE THE FLAG. When you see Old Glory going by as it did yesterday afternoon, sheltering under its historic folds the veterans of one of the Moodiest and most

man, salute it! Take your hat off and stand uncovered until the colors have passed you. It is the most pleasing and fitting tribute you, as a private citizen, can pay the flag of our country and the men who have fought so valiantly under it. Every time you see the flag it should make you thrill with the splendid history of our country written plainly on it. The stripes denoting the thirteen original colonies that defied the strength of mighty England and made this land of ours a paradise of freedom, the goal of the oppressed and down-trodden of every land on earth, the shining example whose splendid experiment in the equality of man and the right of men to govern themselves has caused many of the thrones of Europe to fall and the greatest of them to tremble and yield many of their royal prerogatives. The stars denoting a union of many states, one and indivisible, made so by the efforts of the grizzled veterans, who marched beneath them yesterday, half a century ago when in the fullcess of their youth they waded through oceans of blood upon the hellewept fields of Shiloh. Gettysburg, Fredericksburg and scores of others, that you might enjoy the fruits and peace of a united nation, untainted by the curse of slavery. And the whole,

London, May 30. An instrument which will enable you to see around the world has been invented by John Wellesley Lynn. According to the inventor, the lynnscope as he calls his instrument, is an apparatus with which messages and images can be sent through the air without the aid of electricity. By using it, a man in London may converse with his friends in New York and see what they are doing. Family gatherings could thus be held in far distant countries at the same time. The invention has already been patented in Great Britain and the patent is held by the Bishop of Bloemfontein, who advanced the inventor small sums of money to develop his ideas and who is now on his way to England to attend the Pan-Anglican

Congress. The bishop met the inventor some years ago when Mr. Lynn was stranded with a theatrical company in South Africa.

HAWAII RUBBER

Yet in Its Experimental Stage However.

Washington, May 30. The rubber

industry in Hawaii is still in the experimental stage, but experts believe

the opportunities for profit are going to be large. Preliminary experiments by the government indicate a high yield from even young trees. Over 5X),Xh rubber trees have been planted in the islands and still other plantations are being established.

London, May So. The rapidity with which bomb outrages are succteding one another in India makes it impossible to regard them as entirely sporadic, and Is greatly increasing the anxiety of the authorities. The latest reported instance is the fourth that has occurred within a few months.

When one of the largest firms of wine merchants In London began business it sent Lord Derry a dozen of sherry, which was represented as being a specific for gout , to which the prime minister was a martyr. The noblema-n replied: "The earl of Derby presents his compliments; he has tasted the sherry and prefers the gout-"

Isthmian Canal Commission, according to reports made public, is having a serious time with the pio question. The men working on the canal like pie. They want it, too. Whether it is the climate, the nature of the work, or the isolation of the construction camps is a matter for conjecture. Suffice It that those fellows down in Panama want pie, and plenty of it. They so notified the Commission. At present there are produced about 600 pies every day. This is supplemented by about 400 pounds of cake. The pies are of seven varieties one for each day of the week. They bring ten cents apiece and the cakes are valued at ten cents a pound. To cap the climax, the men are becoming particular about the kind of

ies they are eating. They now want

strawberry pies. Strawberries don't

grow in the Canal Zone which makes it worse. The Commission tried to ship fresh strawberries by way of New Orleans and the experiment failed. Now th members are thinking of mince pie aa a good substitute.

TALKS ON ADVERTISING NO. 16.

The Cellar Hole and the

Sewer Hole

By Herbert Kaufman A coal cart stopped before an office building in Washington anil the driver dismounted, removed the cover from a manhole, ran out his chute, and proceeded to empty the load. An old negro strolled over and stood watching him. Suddenly the black man glanced down and immediately burst into a fit of uncontrollable laughter, which continued for several minutes. The cart driver looked at him in amusement. "Say, Uncle," he asked, "do you always laugh when you see coal going into a cellar?" The negro sputtered around for a few moments and then holding his hands to his aching sides managed to say, "No, sah, but I jest busts when I sees it goin down a sewer." The advertiser who displays lack of judgment in selecting the newspapers which carry his copy often confuses the SEWER and the CELLAR. All the money that is put INTO newspapers isn't taken OUT again by any means. The fact that all dailies possess a certain physical likeness doesn't by any means signify a similarity in character, and it'sCHARACTER in a newspaper that brings returns. The editor who conducts a journalistic sewer finds a DIFFERENT class of readers than the publisher who respects himself enough to respect his readers. What goes into a newspaper largely determines the class of homes into which the newspaper goes. An irresponsible, scandalmongering, muck-raking sheet is logically not supported by the buying classes of people. It MAY BE perused by thousands of readers, but such readers are seldom purchasers of advertised goods. It's the clean-cut, steady, normal-minded citizens who form the bone and sinew and muscle of the community. It's the sane, selfrespecting, DEPENDABLE newspaper that enters their homes and it's the HOME sale that indicates the strength of an advertising medium. No clean-minded father of a family wishes to have his wife and children brought in contact with the most maudlin and banal phases of life. He defends them from the sensational editor and the unpleasant advertiser. He subscribes to A NEWSPAPER WHICH HE DOES NOT FEAR TO LEAVE ABOUT THE HOUSE. Therefore, the respectable newspaper can always be counted upon to produce more sales than one which may even own a larger CIRCULATION but whose distribution is in ten editions among unprofitable citizens. You can no more expect to sell goods to people who HAVEN'T MONEY than you can hope TO PLUCK OYSTERS FROM BUSHES. It isn't the number of readers REACHED but the number of readers whose PURSES can be reached that constitutes the value of circulation. It's one thing to arouse THEIR ATTENTION, but it's a far different thinq to qet THEIR MONEY. THE MIND MAY BE WILLING, BUT THE P0CKETB00K IS WEAK. If you had the choice of a thousand acres of desert land or a hundred acres of oasis, you'd select the fertile spot, realizing that the larger tract had less value because it would be less productive. Just so the advertiser who really understands how he is spending his money does not measure by bulk alone. HE COUNTS PRODUCTIVITY FIRST. He takes care that he is not putting his money into a SEWER.
