That Christopher Columbus discovered America on Oct. 12, 1492, seems to be a well authenticated fact. The statement cannot be taken specifically, however. It must be accepted as a general proposition. What Columbus really did was to discover some of the islands adjacent to the American continents and established the fact that larger bodies of land lay beyond. In reality the Genoan explorer never discovered the United States at all. That honor belongs to a gentleman by the name of Americus Vespucius, but it become necessarily secondary because of the more general and prior discovery Columbus had made. Columbus was not surprised when he found land at the end of his voyage. He was confident it existed and was determined to find it. This determination enabled him to overcome the objections of his mutinous crew and continue his voyage on a proviso. That proviso was that land should be sighted in three days. Fortunately for Columbus and his venture the man at the masthead raised land within the limit and the discovery fol- lowed. If Columbus should return now, some four hundred odd years after his first visit, he would find more to discover and with a capable press assent Tronic! be able to carry enough home "with him to redeem Isabella's jewels and keep out of debtor's prison. A lecture tour by Columbus would have nil the romance of a Dr. Cook engagement and more of the reality. Columbus could prove that he discovered America by showing the land, and that is more than Doc. Cook could do with the north pole, though the pole was there just the same. In fact, it would not be necessary for him to prove it because we have, the land and there is nobody living who could swear ho didn't discover it. Those Norwegians who skirted our coast some time before Columbus heKan the arduous tnsk of discovering America cannot be considered. They didn't discover anything. They simply ran against some land and landed on It to see what it looked like, but Columbus unfurled a banner on it and claimed It In the name of the Spanish throno as newly discovered territory. That is why we call Oct. 12. Discovery day. A NHW CONCKITIOX. Pres. Wilson has given us a new conception of duty as it applies to the man who enters puWie service as an officer elected by the votes of the people. The president's interpretation is that the man is not there to gratify his personal ambition or to serve his own interests. The interpretation is a version of the proverb that a public office is a public trust which we have not had before. It plares a man subject to his superiors in political rank as much as though he carried a commi-slon as a military officer. The case in point is the request made by the president tnat Uep. Clayton of Alabama shall withdraw from the senatorial contest in his state and remain a member of the house. Rep. Clayton occupies in that body the responsible position as chairman of the Judiciary committee, a position in which the president regards him as lndispensible in the next session for the reason that business now before congress cannot be finished ajt the present session. "I foresee." wrote the president to Hep. Clayton, "the chief responsibilities of the next session will lie with the committee on the judiciary, of which you are chairman Our work cannot be finished in a single session. If I dared I would you to remain In. the house." This expression of the president's wishes is tantamount to a request. It is as if a commanding officer should give Ills subordinate an opportunity to voluntarily perform an e t r a o r d i n a r y service. The. instance may be unprecedented; hut the circumstances juify the president's action. He is at the head of the democratic organization now in control of public affairs and responsible for their conduct. He shi'u'u! be In position to make or pren: changes in organization that (mini for or against its efficiency. I AN INFIA'KNTI AI BOHY. There was no faUe note in the expression of the W. (. T. F. on the suffrage question. The women of that organization are enthusiastically and practically unanimously committed to the reform. They behove in the social and political equality of men and women. The suffrage movement in this state has been up to the present rather an undercurrent than a surface flood. It !s strong, deep and influential, but thefre Is little flurry on the surface. Some day in the not distant future the enemies of suffrage are to be astonished and overwhelmed by the tide of public hentimont that will sweep the State. The work of the W. C. T. F. is making its influence felt In thH move

ment. The women of this organization belong to the class that does things in this country, the great middle class, whose votes and Influence are the controlling power of the country. They belong to the class which takes its politics into its homes and makes it a part of Its domestic affairs, and this is the kind of politics that is best for the American people and safest for all, parties. ? When women vote, as they, are destined to do in the not far distant future, the home will play the same large part In directing public affairs that it now bears in taking the brunt of political mistakes and political maladministration. The women of the W. C. T. U. are fighting for their homes against the liquor evil and they will fight for their homes just as valiantly against political evils. They are an earnest army of women battling for the general good and with their wider influence as voters their efforts will not be confined to the task on which they have worked for many years. THAT I ) K I OC 1 1 ATI C CLIQUK. From time to time we hear of the democratic candidates being designated as a gang or clique. To Grandma Trib. democratic officials are -always a "gang", "ring" or "clique". The men who surround Mr. Joyce have been in control of the city four years. Whcrp do you find the indications of a ring or clique? People usually associate corruption or graft with political gangs, so called. It is in an unsavory sense that the term is used. Where do you see any evidence of corruption or graft in the city administration? Where in his entire record as a citizen, a councilman or comptroller do you find any taint of dishonesty in connection with P. A. Joyce? That P. A. Joyce is the very soul of honor and honesty is conceded even by his political opponents. So general Is the knowledge of Mr. Joyce's fitness; so great the demand for just such honesty in public service that hundreds of non-democratic voters are going to support him in this election. In their mad desire for place and power the "holier than tfiou" gentlemen have stooped to the vilest caricature of Mr. Joyce, they have assailed him with false and malicious utterances, but none has had the temerity to question his sterling integrity. Nor has any one questioned his special preparation and fitness for the exacting duties of the mayoralty. Mr. Joyce is not a hypocrite, he is not blowing hot and cold at once, he Is not making contradictory promises in different parts of the city. He is making his canvass solely upon his personal fitness and his known qualifications. Mr. Joyce possesses courage and resolution. He offers honesty in service, experience and preparation for the duties of mayor, sincerity as against hypocrisy and personal courage as distinguished from committeecontrolled indecision. Thoughtful voters are thinking of these things. Democracy never presented a more qualified or better equipped candidate for mayor. On personal merit he outclasses the local held. And his high sense of honesty and fair dealing, his fitness and his courage will overcome the slander and vituperation which is hurled against hini. A man and a woman, to be selected by a jury of doctors, "both men and women, are to be married as an experiment in eugenics. The man and woman are to be as nearly perfect mentally, morally and physically as possible. Applications for this peculiar distinction will be received. Presumably there will be many. Dots of people are seeking; novelty and some of .them are progiessive. Despite reports from interested sources to the contrary Pros. Wilson has neither intimated nor announced that lie will ask congress to repeal the exemption of American shipping from tolls in the Panama canal. If the president has any such idea he has kept it sedulously to himself. The Volturno disaster suggests that supplementary to the wireless telegraph boats should have equipment that can take passengers from a wrecked or burning vessel In any kind of weather. The door of opportunity is open to inventive genius. The New York .Sun has made a canvass of, the country which shows that no large factories will close on account of the tariff. On the contrary a tendency to increase business is seen. This will be a bitter disappointment to the calamity howler. The deficiency bill will end the existence of the commerce court if Pre. Wilson signs it. and the chances are that he will. It was deemed a superfluity as its jurisdiction is fully covered by other courts. The earthquake shocks in the canal zone continue, but without doing eny damage to the canal. The character

of that work is such that it will require more than a shake to destroy it.

As far as can be ascertained the human element was responsible for the accident on the C. I. & S. railroad, which cost three lives. The orders and signals were not at fault. The subject has been agitated so much that one fly has become as much of an annoyance as a dozen used to be. This time Mack was a better guesser than McGraw . DIARY OF FATHER TIME. The modern conditions of morality, white slavery, politics In big cities, love of luxury, the unbounded wealth of bome and the dire poverty of many, remind me of the conditions that prevailed In Rome about 150 B. C. The riches that poured to that nation permitted Rome to carry out a series of magnificent public improvements. Italy was welded together by numerous military roads, so finely built that they remain to this day. The Tiber was spanned by excellent bridges of stone, the city was sewered and the streets were paved. Of the two new aqueducts, the Marcian, built B. C. 141, cost more than $10,000,000. Thus gorgeous benefits accrued to Rome through her far-reaching conquests; but it cannot be doubted that even greater evils resulted. The brilliant culture was crimsoned with impurity. The rugged virtues of Rome were corrupted; the strength collapsed before flabby degeneracy; marriage was openly scoffed at and even the old Roman faith bjst its hold upon the people. The political system of Home grew to be as rotten as that of the worst governed city of modern times. Bribery was open and the slave trade was intended to meet the demands of the rich planters, for all purposes. The doom of the mightiest city the world ever knew was plainly written. LITTLE OLD NEW YORK BY' NORMAN". 5fC jfc ijc "Jc $ :Jc Jc sje se NEW YORK, Oct. 1.1. Anybody who thinks a woman can's throw straight ought to have been In the Carlton Terrace restaurant, on upper Broadway, a few evenings ago. She was such a demure looking little thing, too onyl about 20 or 21 apparently, and maybe 100 pounds in avoirdupois. There were four at the table, two elderly young men. of the blase type, the girl with the Wallie iSchang arm, and another young lady very much like her. There wasn't a drop of booze on the table. It was about 9 o'clock, between the dinner and supper crowds, and the Carlton Terrace was only sparsely filled. A cabaret show was going on, on a platform about half ,vay down the long room. A young chap came out and did an eccentric dance. The girh wanted to see him, of course. So did a large number of waiters, whom the midevening dullness had left with nothing else to do. One of them stood right in the girl's line of vision. vOne slender arm was extended back of her shoulder, then it shot forward. A hard roll Just missed the waiter's ear and danled with a loud whack on a table in front of him. There was quite some suppressed excitement. Eight or nine waiters came and stood in a melancholy semicircle around the table whence the missle had been o.ojected, and stared expresslonle?sly at the bad girl. But nothing happened. way dancing and singing on the cabA few minutes later a young woman aret platform. Again the broadshouldered waiter saw the show, while the girl at the table beheld only his back. Zip! This time it was a salt-cellar, and this time she got him. Right on the neck. Salt streamed down his back, and the cellar bounded off to the floor. There are almost as many head waiters in the Carlton Terrace as there are angels In heaven, and in a few seconds that particular table was surrounded. Animated conversation took place, with the young lady holding her own in good shape. Soon after which the party left, and the waiters were left to enjoy the cabaret from whatever particular point of vantage they mighty choose. ANCESTRIES! An Englishman, fond of boasting of his ancestry, took a coin from his pocket and, pointing to the head engraved on it, said: "My great-great-grandfather was made a lord b.v the king whose picture you see on this shilling." "What a coincidence!" said his Yankee companion, who at once produced another coin. "My great-greatgrandfather was made an angel by the Indian whose picture you see on this cent."

A MYSTERY STORY OF NEW YORK

By WILL IRWIN

CONTINUED FROM SATURDAY. CHAPTER XXI. TAKING STOCK. "How's this headline for that stocking job?" asked Tommy North, suddenly looking up from his writing. " 'Mountain Climbers Wear Our Hose and Come Back Without a Hole'?" "Pretty good." replied Betsy-Barbara from her corner by the typewriter. "Now get the rest of it." She resumed her furious little stabs at the keys. The sudden conclusion of the HanFka case left Betsy-Barbar afloat. She could not go back to Arden if she would, and she would not If she could. It was her whim to remain In New York; but the select young ladies seminaries of the metropolis hesitated to employ a young woman who had figured so consistently on the front pages of the yellow newspapers. Between trips In search of employment, Betsy-Barbara continued to typewrite the correspondence of the Thomas W. North agency. Tommy, indeed, had offered her regular employment as his clerk. She spurned that offer, holding it to be mere gratitude. When she had learned the trade, she said, she might accept a position as typist, and not a minute before. Betsy-Barbara was vastly improved in technique. She could draft, a passable circular letter In not more than three attempts and twenty-five minutes. Tommy, unruffled by her businesslike reminder, continued to view Betsy-Barbara. Presently the pencil dropped from his hand. He turned In his swivel chair and called: "BetsyBarbara!" in a tone wholly inappropriate to office hours. Being a woman, she caught It. "Tommy North," she said, without looking up from the keys, "read me that motto over your desk!" "Business Thoughts in Business Hours," ready Tommy North, obediently. "Well, what does that mean?" asked Betsy-Barbara. And she continued to write, "respectfully solicit your patronage for the Thomas W. North agency." At least, that is what she thought she was writing. . Chapter III. The huntsman took a hand! He had been hiding all this time in the big oven of the stove, for he was terribly frightened. But when he saw brave Bruin .toss the little pigmy high up near the ceiling and then give him a terrible bear hug the huntsman decided to come out and help his trusty companion a, little. Then there was certainly a funny spectacle to see In that lonely cottage! The bear chased the pigmy and the huntsman chased the bear. One minute all rolled over and over together on the floor; the next they had separated and were running after each other again. So the excitement kept up for nearly half an hour. Finally the little pigmy, torn and bleeding and very frightened and chagrined, skipped out of the open door and away into the woods! Bruin laughed long and loud and Gunter chuckled softly to himself as the two companions sat down to the feast which the pigmy had cooked for himself. "Pretty clever, you are." said Gunter, looking admiringly at the big bear. "Guess you got a couple of pretty hard bumps yourself, though, didn't you?" Bruin nodded His head, but he was too busy eating to stop to talk the matter over. After the two had eaten all they NOT LONG AGO By WILLIAM F. KIRK Not long ago he was a little boy Who toddled timidly, with outstretched arms; Each passing day brought fresh parental joy And seemed to multiply- his baby charms. We never dreamed that he could come to grief, His daddy and his mother loved him so. Misfortune would have seemed beyond belief Not long ago. We see him sometimes, evil-faced and hard. Swaggering with the city's vilest men; We see him sometimes in a prison jard Wild for the drink he cannot purchase then. Tt seems to us that just a little rest Might come to us if w could only know His days had ended at his mother's breast Not long ago. DREW GUN ON MAN WHO LAUGHED AT HER SKIRT YONKERS. N. Y., Oct. IS.

As a matter of fact, what she produced was this: respec fully silicityour patrona nage for teh 2Tomasw North agency." "B it what I want to talk about now," replied Tommy in a. wheedling tone, "is a matter of business. I've been taking stock. This flne-golng concern made last month a hundred and fifty dollars above light, rent, office expenses and overhead charges. That revolver contract and - that beauty-parlor deal are as good as permanent. By Christmas we'll be making a hundred dollars a week." "You'll be making," corrected Betsy-Barbara as she jerked back the typewriter carriage to begin the struggle with another line. "That's the point of these remarks. You ought" he paused here ".you ought to have a share." "If you'll kindly turn your eyes to the panel beside the door." said Betsy-Barbara, "you'll se a card which reads 'Business I Business. The idea of talking partnership to a mere stenographer who hasn't learned her trade!" "That isn't fair. You always put me in the wrong, somehow. You know you're responsible for - the whole thing. Who made me start this concern? Who got me to cut out the booze and go into business for myself?" "Well," replied Betsy-Barbara, "a tract or a preacher might have done that anything which set you on the right way at the right. time. And you wouldn't think of offering a' partnership to a tract or a preacher." "Betsy-Barbara!" called Tommy North again. And on that name, uttered all too gently for the address of a stern employer to an inexpert stenographer, he rose and crossed to her side. Somehow she did not protest althbugh she continued to look down on the key?. Her fingers stopped. Tommy gulped; and his first words, as he settled on the stool at her side, were far from his original intention and further still from strict business. "Betsy-Barbara why did you play possibly could they went back to sleep and rested till morning without any further disturbance. The next day they went on their way, but they stopped in at the woodman's home to tell him their experience. "Guess you can go back to the cottage under the hill now in safety." said the huntsman, laughingly. "Old Bruin met and conquered that elfish little creature who drove you out of your home. He tossed him in the air and hugged him till he was glad to get away, I can tell you." "Good," cried the woodsman. "I am mighty thankful that cottage is much more cozy than this one. We will move back if you think there is no danger of a return visit from the pigmy." "None whatever," said the huntsman. "Good day." Off went Gunter and Bruin to Denmark! And back went the woodsman and his little family to the deserted cottage! What became of the pigmy? He left the country, for he did not know that old Bruin had gone away. He feared the big white cat, as he called him, might meet him in the dark some night and eat him up! The huntsman and old Bruin reach .! ed the court of Denmark safely. The woodsman and his family lived happilv ever after. THE END.
