Mr. Bryan's Franking ' Secretary Bryan has kept a hubbub stirred up ever since his appointment because of his use of government time for his own personal affairs. From his private letter sent to Mr. Jordan in a franked envelope, it is evident he doesn't stop merely with using government time. But this need occasion no surprise. Mr. Bryan is the exponent of a Democracy which hales back to Jackson. According to this Democracy, holding public office is not a professional matter to be held only by those professionally fitted, but is a prize to be enjoyed by the faithful citizen (faithful to the party). Owing to the large number of these, it is necessary to have short terms and frequent changes in order that as many as possible may spread their aprons under the plum tree. Mr. Bryan was true to this in his diplomatic appointments which were dictated, as he himself said with an admirable frankness worthy of c better cause, by considerations of political service. To the victor belongs the spoils. Mr. Bryan's friends were the victors. Therefore it was fitting that they be invited to the feast. They got the spoils. That it was a matter of spoils in a very literal sense subsequent developments have proved, but that, as the peerless

Wilson's Attitude Helps Business, Writes Clews

The happenings of the week have upon the whole been of a favorable character. The most encouraging development was the July crop report of the department of agriculture. This report indicates a crop of fully 930,000,000 bushels of wheat, against 760,000,000 bushels a year ago; a crop of 2,868.000,000 bushels of corn, as against 2,446,000,000 bushels a year ago; a crop of oats of 1,200,000,000 bushels, compared with 1,122,000,000 bushels a year ago. The estimated farm value of the wheat crop is placed at $700,000,000; corn over $2,000,000,000, and oats over $400,000,000. These amounts of course represent only a portion of the total agricultural products of the country, which this year are expected to reach a value of fully $10,000,000,000. The creation of so large an amount of new wealth must inevitably have a stimulating effect upon general busi ness. This fact is particularly reallied in the western or agricultural Btates, where the feeling is universally optimistic. Western railroads are busily preparing to handle the vast traffic which this will create; and there is already a pleasing diminution In the number of idle cars, which decreased more than 20,000 during the month of June. Condition Improves. There remains a heavy surplus of idle equipment amounting to 200,000 cars, but this will probably be materially reduced within the next few weeks. There is also some improvement in the steel trade, resulting from a freer placing of orders for rolling ttock, although that industry is still in a very depressed condition. In the building trade there is a partial resumption of activity following the late acute reaction. The June record of failures shows a decrease in number, and there would have been a satisfactory reduction of the liabilities had it not been for the Claflin failure, which ( CHESTER, IND. The Ladles' Aid society met Wed nesday afternoon in the hall. There were nine members present. The society had as guests, Mrs. Martha Kendall, of this place, and Mrs. Lizzie Harvey and Mrs. Fannie Cook, of Richmond. The time was spent in quilting. The society will meet again In a fortnight. Marjorle Pickett called on Misses Grace and Ruth Blume Wednesday afternoon. MisBes Bonnie and Blanch Carman will spend the week end with relatives at Fountain City. Harry Wright and family have as their guest, Miss Jordan, of Centerville. Mrs. Emma Burg visited her son near Fountain City Wednesday. Clarence Grable visited his brother, Homer Grable and family, Wednesday afternoon. Emma and Clara Kendall went to Richmond Friday. Mr. and Mrs. McCartney and daughter, Adelaide, of Toledo, returned to their home Wednesday after a few days' visit with relatives here. The Friends' Missionary society met with Mrs. Ada Morrow Thursday afternoon. Miss Helen Hall, of Richmond, is spending the week end with Miss Marjorle Pickett, of this place. Mrs. Blume and sons, Orla and Carl, went to Richmond Tuesday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Crawford, of Richmond, after a trip to Chicago and Thorntown, came to spend the week end with Mrs. Crawford's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Kendall. The Misses Anna, Emma and Clara Kendall spent Friday afternoon with Mrs. Maggie Boerner. Several girls from this place went picnicking Friday. A Jersey City man lost his diamond ring feeding his chickens. He has already killed twelve to examine their crops, and the other thirty-eight will have to go In batches until he finds the Tin

one himself would say, "is neither here nor there." , Holding the philosophy that public offices with all their emoluments and perquisites constitute the patrimony of the faithful, it was inevitable that Mr. Bryan should feel himself entitled to everything he could get out of it, time for Chautauqua tours, franking privileges, mileage,

patronage, and all.

Some day the people (the voice of t.he people, Mr. Bryan has often told us, is the voice of God) will say to him and to his kind something like this: - "We like your silvery phrases. We admire your golden perorations. But when we elect you to office and pay you to do a certain work, we expect you to stick to your knitting and be content

with your wages,

Strange, Isn't It? Hell has broken loose among a number of coal mines in Bellaire, Ohio. It is the same old story. A majority of the miners are foreigners: their ignorance has been taken advantage of by the company: bad working conditions: poor pay: compelled to buy at the company stores: consequent lapse into peonage: rebellious, revengeful, moody. This stage arrived, an agitator stepped in, dropped a spark on the tinder and started

another labor conflagration. Mobs, fighting, at

tacks on property,

for the state militia. This is the way they all go. Time after time, the same cause brings about the same result, yet it seems we never learn the lesson. The American manufacturer and employer has a world-wide vision in every direction except toward the world of labor. He has good, hard sense in dealing with every problem except the labor problem. He condemns the I. W. W. agitators for appealing to force yet himself resorts to it at the first threat to his property. We have often wondered why it is the militia is sent out to protect the mines, but never to protect the miners : why the employer claims the right to weapons he denies to his men!

is still an adverse element in the dry goods situation. Prices have been unsettled, and a public sale has been ordered; but July is usually a month for clearing sales in the dry goods trade; so this tendency should not be regarded too seriously. The dry goods trade is, of course, feeling the effects of general depression at the distributing end, and high prices for raw material and labor at the manufacturer's end. An added element of uncertainty is the new tariff, which is admitting woolen fabrics and fancy cotton goods much more freely than when it first went into operation. The steel trade thus far has not been materially affected by the new duties. The country already .ex ports far more steel products than it imports, and is not any serious danger from the new schedule; although lower prices abroad would probably admit moderate quantities of certain products in the seaboard markets of the United States. Wilson's Change Good. One of the most encouraging developments of the week was the frank change of attitude by President Wilson toward big business. The president's courageous announcement of his belief that "the vast majority of men connected with what we have come to call big business are honest, incorruptible and patriotic," is a welcome acknowledgment of what every sane, intelligent and fair-minded business man knows to be true. There are rogues in every profession and big business has not been free of its misdeeds and unsound policies. The silly assumption, however, that every successful business ma nis a "malefactor," an assumption which has been very popular with a certain class of people, has done great harm to the country; and Mr. Wilson has performed a distinct national service by contradicting this popular obsession. REBEL GENERALS FORM WAR PLAN WASHINGTON, July 13. That the Constitutionalists have some big plans in preparation which they will put in operation in the near future, was the opinion in official circles here today. More interest in the movement of rebel forces was displayed by administration officials than in any other phase of the Mexican activity. The Impression prevails here that a full agreement was reached at the Torreon conference as to the operations of the rebels and that the big feature of the plans is for General Obregoa and Jesus Carranza to push on to 'Mexico City, while Villa will station his troops along the northern border of Mexico and guard that section.

Surgeons removed twenty of the vetebrae from the spine of Frank Harrington, which had been crushed by a fall from a scaffold, and replaced it with a steel tube that resembles the spinal column. Harrington was paralyzed by the accident, but is expected to walk soon. One of the most dramatic developments of a material kind In the last twenty-five or thirty years has ben the rise of the cotton sed industry the value of its crude products increasing since 1880 from something more than $7,000,000 to 1150,000,000.

just as any other employee." and Governor Cox petitioned WILSON TO FORCE WARBURG ON BOARD WASHINGTON, July 13. There will be no compromise between President Wilson and the Senate over the cojflrmation of Paul M. Warburg and Tnomas D. Jones, as members of the Federal Reserve Board. Although re ports were current that administra tion leaders are seeking to close the breach, the lines were just as tightly drawn today as ever. One of the compromise propositions to be presented to the President, it was stated, was to confirm Jones on condition that the White House withdraw Warburg's name. The affront to the dignity of the Senate in the refusal of Warburg to appear before the banking and currency committee for examination has created so much feeling that it is believed his confirmation cannot be forced even by the strongest administration pressure.

The total tax on the estate was $5.78.

1 Alexander Bergman, the wealthy an archist leader, declared that the bomb which exploded In the room of Arthur Caron, the I. W. W. agitator, at 1626 Lexington avenue, New York, City, which was the cause of four persons being killed and the wrecking of a seven-story tenement house, was either sent by agents of John D. Rockefeller or by the police. Bergman and his associates will be barred from the court room at Tarrytown during the trials of the surviving ten I. W. W. agitators, who were arrested in the disorder there a few weeks ago. ADVENTURERS SEEK SILVER ON EMPRESS Salvage Hunters Hope to Recoyer Fortune Lost on Steamer. LONDON, July 13. Salvage experts here agree that there is a fair chance of recovering the million dollars' worth oi silver said to be aboard the sunken Empress of Ireland. R. H. Davis, managing director of the salvage company, called attention today to the following successful operations of this sort. Bars of silver of the value of $2,681,900, 46 boxes of gold, of the value of $1,000,000, and nine boxes of silver, of the value of $5,850, a total value of $3,687,750 recovered from the Oceana which was wrecked in about thirteen fathoms of water off Eastbourne. Out of a total of $500,000 in gold coin, $450,000 was recovered from the wreck of the Alphonso XII, which was sunk in 27 fathoms of water greater depth than that at which the Empress of Ireland is lying off Point Gando, Grand Canary. Silver bars worth $50,000 were recovered from the Skyro, wrecked in i2 fathoms of water off Cape Finisterre. Overcome Difficulties. "In the case of Alphonso XII, the difficulties were very great, Mr. Davis said, "and our diver, Alexander Lambert, had to use dynamite to remove innumerable obstructions before he could get to the magazine in which the treasure was stored. "Dynamite had also to be used in the operations for salving the silver bars of the Skyro, and when the work was Inished, the vessel was just a heap of scrap iron. "The Empress of Ireland is said to be lying on her side in seventeen fathoms 102 feet of water. "At this depth, Mr. Davis said, "a man cannot remain safely for a longer time than thirty or forty minutes. He would have to allow himself, moreover, about half an hour to get on the surface, the ascent fro mthe depth a painfully slow business. "When a man works at these submarine depths he is subject to an abnormal, pressure which is increased by 4 lbs. tor every 10 feet he goes i down. At work beneath fathoms of water bis blood and tissues become saturated with nitrogen. "For this reason he has to be most careful in ascending to the surface, for otherwise a sort of effervescence would be set up In the blood vessels and cause paralysis. "There is no difficulty in getting divers for salvage operations. Most of our men are ex-British-Navy divers, who are without doubt the most scientifically trained in the world. "For his work in salving the pesetas from the wreck of the Alphonso XII Alexander Lambert received 5 per cent of the treasure recovered, $17,500, in addition to his pay of $250 a month. RELIC OF AARON BURR. NEW YORK, July 13.- While demolishing a building at Reade and Centre streets, housewreckers unearthed a water tank erected by Aaron Burr who killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel, 'l ne tank had been used to supply the city with water.

Where and; How Girls Pass Days of Annual Vacation

Richmond girls Lave a vacation just as the business or professional men have their vacations. But where do Richmond girls spend this summer period? There is the daughter of the wealthy who can alternately frisk at Atlantic City, the resorts of the Adirondacks or among the Thousands Islands, varying as to her inclinations either social or athletic. She has the vacation which hundreds of others want but cannot have. She has plenty of money and she can soon become acquainted in Va social set of her equals. She is used to this sort of thing and instead of enjoying it thoroughly, is often extremely bored. There is no limit to ner time except illing social engagements. Office Girls Travel. Next comes the girl who works for a good salary, but has a limited time In which to ' spend her vacation. This girl unually has enough money left from the year to travel, and travel Ehe does, from the time she leaves the office until she finds the ideal spot, where she can stop for three or four days. The girl in this position spends her vacation in a myriad of ways and usually enjoys it. There are several hundred office girls in Richmond, earning from $5 to $25 a week, the latter, however, be ing extremely rare. Going down the scale from .the well paid girl, is the average. She earns $10 a week. She wants to get as far away from home MILTON James Eoddridge was at Indianapolis, the week end on business interests concerning his new patent, a casket handle.

as she can. So she picks out a congenial relative or friend where she can

spend most of the two weeks she usually gets. She buys her ticket, takes her trip and then spends her time in playing as hard as she works. The many lower paid office girls of a retiring disposition will arrange to take their vacation when and where most of the remainder of family takes the annual summer rest. She is allowed a certain length of time, receiving as a gift her regular wages in advance. Get No Vacation. Still descending along the line, the factory worker is reached. The hard est worked and the smallest paid, she Is given no vacation unless she takes a week off at her own expense So the lively factory girl who usually does not have the money to leave town must spend her vacation on Sun days and nights, usually in tbe parks or on the streets. Some, of an entirely different nature, who are helping to support widowed mothers or big families, do not even have the pleasure of the parks as their sense of duty keep them at home working.
