Will Bartley Stand for It!
If there was one thing that bespoke
admiration for ex-Treasurer Hartley,
even from tho who abhorred hia
monstrous rrinip, It was his boast that
he always stood-by his friends; that!
he would not divulge the names of
his partners who stood loyally by him;
that he would. If need be, serve out a
sentence In the penitentiary with lips
sealed to shield the beneficiaries of his
embeitrlejiient.
Bartley might have had plenty of
good company in the penitentiary if
he bad broken his alienee at the time
and Inculpated his associates In the
crime. When, therefore, Congress
man Hitchcock, after confessing him
self a beneficiary of the Bartley short
age and still In debt for part of the
amount borrowed, placards Hartley as
"a blackmailer" and says over his own
signature that nartley has been de-.
mandlng "blood money" In asking for
a return f the borrowed stealings, he
lays an accusation to Bartley that no
one else has ever publicly put upon
him.
Bartley has always Insisted that be
became an embezzler by force of cir
cumstances; that he could and would
have paid over to his successor In
office the full amount supposed to be
In his custody, If his friends, among
them Congressman Hitchcock, who
had borrowed the state's money from
him, had only paid their debts.
Will Bartley stand for being called
"a blackmailer" by Hitchcock, whom
he saved from financial ruin and
shielded all these years?
Will Bartley stand for this talk of
"blood-money" from Hitchcock, for
whose benefit he served a term In the
penitentiary?
Mri, Julia Ward Howe.
The life of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe
was a benediction. Its ulnety-one
years were filled with deeds of use
fulness for mankind. She wrote and
spoke inspiring words ror good and
great causes, but she accompanied her
words, pungent as was their Influence,
with works of another practical kind.
Where her words of cheer and counsel
could not relieve or succor, she sent
her money to provide, and history will
accord her as great a place as a philan
thropist as a writer. She was born of
wealthy parents and married a wealthy
man, so that she was peculiarly able
to give. She set an example In giving
she and her husband. Xo worthy
cause, it Is said, appealed to them In
vain andMhcy helped the needy from
the struggling urchin to the courage
ous Greek, fighting for Independence.
and the federal government In Its su
preme struggle against slavery and
disunion.. .
Mrs. Howe's name Is always linked
with the great militant song she wrote.
"The Battle Hymn .of the,Republtc," in
spired oy seeing tne laarohlnfc soldiers
and in turn inspiring them. She wrote
much of prose, both as an'-associate
editor with her husband of the Boston
Commonwealth, a strong anti-slavery
organ, and In other periodicals and
magazines, but she contributed some
verse in her earlier years., In 1854
she wrote "Passion Flowers," then
Words for the Hour" and "Later
Lyrics." Through all her writing ran
the. one strong strain of human Interest
and love for her fellowklnd.
As one of the founders of, the cause
of woman suffrage, 'Mrs. Howe gave
dignity and respect to the crusade and
discussed it upon broad lines, winning
many more friends for it than some
who have come later aa Its champions.
She remained , steadfastly devoted to
this propaganda. Her wonderful
optimism was expressed In the implicit
faith she gave to the cause as In every
other enterprise of her long life She
died devoted to the belief that one day
woman suffrage would be universal.
Her optimism was always evident.
With it she pursued her dally calling
and with it she led and Inspired others.
But in the simple life of the quiet
old woman at home, those who knew
her best found her greatest virtues.
They lay In her example of constant
cheer and cheerfulness to those who,
like her, may have to tread life's path
on down into the eventide of advanced

A cartoon In a western newspaper
shows a long, dense line of people
crowding in front of a theater, urging
their way to the box office, and above
the building the cow Jumping over the
moon, indicative of the high cost of
living. It Is a fair picture of our pecuc
llar American temperament. We are
prone to complain at the high cost of
living, and not without cause, but at
the satue ttm we are buying pleasure
at the theaters, at other places of
amusement and taking e'xpenaive trips
and vacations. And this is rlitht. un

can afford It and most people can af

of a wholesome kind.
But the fact is, we are still com

Are we not Inclined to forget that It Is
very high living we are getting? It
certainly Is very good living. Whether
the high prices have done It or not.
the average standard of living Is
higher and better today than It ever
was In this country and the chances
are it will never go back. People have
cultivated more critical tastes and
they generally satisfy them, whether
they can afford to or not..

Philippines and the Tariff.
Governor Forbes of the Philippines
gives much credit to the new tariff law
lor the excellent financial showing the
islands have made In the laBt year.
The fiscal report discloses a surplus
of $1,000,000.
This is a vindication of President
Taft and his prediction as to what the
Philippine section of the tariff law
would accomplish. In hla letter of
August 20, 1910, to Congressman Mc
Kinley, he said:
The Philippine tariff section I have strug
gled to secure for ten years last past, and
It gratified me exceedingly by my signa
ture to give It the effect of law. I am
sure It will greatly Increase the trade be
tween the two countries, and It will do
much to build up the Philippines In a
healthful prosperity.
As chief executive of the Islands
for five years, Mr. Taft came to under
stand its needs and possibilities as
well, if not better, than any other
American and he made those needs
and possibilities the subject of long,
determined, patient effort, finally
working Into tangible shape by means
of the section Inserted in the tariff
bill what he believed was required in
these Islands. How well he had de
cided and how wisely he had struggled
may now be read in the results, and
yet these achievements have only be
gun to bear fruit.
The tariff law simply keeps faith
with the Philippines by doing what this
government said it would do, by allow
ing the Filipino producer the benefit
of our markets "with such limitations
as to prevent Injury to our home in
dustries." The result Is enlarged
trade for both the United States and
the Philippines, and, as the president
says, it will build up a state of general
prosperity in the Islands.
A Vacancy to Be Filled.
The death of State Railway Com
missioner Cowglll, not unexpected in
view of his impaired health, creates a
vacancy in office, the filling of which
is or tne utmost importance. The
question immediately presents how the
succession to this vacancy, occurring
almost in the face of an election.
should be supplied.
The law is plain that the governor
has the right to make a temporary ap
pointment to hold until a successor
shall have been duly elected and qual
ified. But there is time yet to make
the necessary nominations which
would give the people an opportunity
to make their own choice at the polls
next month.
Some may contend that this Is not
a vacancy in office to be filled at the
coming election because it has oc
curred Within thirty days of election
day, and an old law seems to indicate
that vacancies are to be filled by elec
tion only when they occur prevloua to
thirty days before. This thirty-day
law, however, has apparently been re
pealed, if not specifically, at least by
implication, by the later enacted pri
mary laws which in so many words
authorize the respective political com
mittees to fill vacancies occurring on
the ticket up to within eight duys of
the election. -'
In a city election held in Omaha a
little over a year ago one phase of
this question was presented by the
creation by the legislature of certain
elective offices after the time when
primary filings could be made, and the
nomination by local committees of
candidates for those offices whose
right to go on the ticket as the party
nominees was upheld by the courts
over the protest that such vacancies
were not the kind of vacancy contem
plated by the primary law.
Irrespective of this, however, if the
state committees make nominatlona
for the office of railway commissioner
to fill vacancy and the candidates'
names go on the ticket, we have no
doubt that the candidate who receives
the highest popular vote would en
counter no difficulty to secure a cer
tificate of election entitling him to
claim the office and would serve out
the unexpired term, which is for four
years.
Mr. Hitchcock's explanation of his
dealings with Embezzler Bartley re
calls the story of the man whose wife
caught him hugging the hired girl.
"I assured my wife." declared the in
jured husband, "that it was purely ac
cidental and perfectly proper. But
some how or other, try as I may, I
can't make her see It In that light."
Mr. Hearst baa hia artists cartoon
ing John Adams Dlx as a parrot sit
ting on Murphy's finger and Murphy
is telling the trusts that he can make
the bird say anything he wants him
to. Yet "Bobs" Murphy's newspaper
organs declare that Mr. Dig la a mao
who cannot be made to say anything
except what he believes.
i Hitchcock-Bartley loans where both!
the treasurer and the beneficiary were
sent to the penitentiary. This case
occurred, not In another state, but In
this state a banker by the name of
Mills, In Harlan county, being con
victed along with the county treasurer
for farming out county funds In defi
ance of law. - Ltickv Congressman
Hitchcock did not form a partnership
with Bartley In Harlan county.
Congressman Hitchcock's studied
reference to Mr. Metcalfe aa "Bartley's
friend" seems all the more gratuitous
because it was unnecessary and added
nothing to his public statement. He
could Just as well have referred to
him as "my friend," but he evidently
no longer classes Mr. Metcalfe as such.
Say all the mean things you want
to about those Illinois Central offi
cials, but when a man can save J558,-

It Is officially announced that
Omaha's census has not been held
back because of being under suspicion
of padding. If Omaha bad under
taken to pad Its census this year it
would have made a bigger exhibit.
Will Mr. Bryan support a confessed
Bartley beneficiary, who admits he has
not yet put it back, for United States
senator? If he cannot stomach Dahl
man for governor, how can he swal
low Hitchcock for senator?
St. Louis has become the center of
the air-flying business and the old
town deserves much credit for its en
terprise in, promoting , this interna
tional meet. It is a milestone in the
world's progress
Congressman Hitchcock says he re
fused to pay one note because it out
lawed under the statute of limitations
while Bartley was in the penitentiary.

In a letter recently written by Mavor
tiBvnor to a personal friend, he says some
things which Indicate an unsatisfactory
condition of health. "It li konn." as
a New York correspondent of the Philadel
phia Ledger, "that while the mavor's
strong physique has overcome some of the
physical effects of the gunshot wound,
nevertheless his nervous system received
such a shock as may require manv weeks
utterly to overcome. A gunshot wound of
that kind Inevitably cause severe nervous
shock, even though the wound may appear
to have perfectly healed. The bullet has
encysted and may remain where It Is dur
ing the rest of Mayor Oaynor's life, not
hereafter seriously troubling him. Rut
there was the frightful shock to the nerves.
Mayor Oaynor's (."million may be under
stood by the fact that he Is finding the
best treatment to be life In the open air,
and for repose In reading works which
stimulate the imagination andthe recol
lections associated with childhood. Mayor
Uaynor has found serenity and mental
comfort In reading a new volume of poems
containing Idyls, lyrics and ballads, which
describe Christmas jtcenes in such manner
ss to appeal to the Imagination of children.
These have carried him back to bis boy
hood days, causing him to forget himself,
and that is something which medical at
tendants say ia especially needful In the
healing of nervous troubles.
"The mayor Intimates that unless bis
nervous system Is restored to perfect
health he may be compelled to retire from
the office of mayor. And those who have
read his letter say there Is pathos and true
solemnity worthy of the heeding of every
one who Is absorbed in material auccesa.
In his Intimation that any one who has
been as near the great beyond aa he wss
for a few hours after the shot was fired,
is brought to a full sense of the trivial
character of much which man esteems Im
portant." "Municipal land ownership has proved
the most profitable undertaking New York
City has ever engaged In, when land la
judicially scquired." Such Is the conclu
sion reached by Alderman Campbell, chair
man of the committee on parks, play
grounds and schools of the New York City
Crmmlaslon on Congestion of Population.
In a report made public recently he sup
ports his conclusion with some astonishing
figures.
Nearly all land bought by the city before
1S50 has Increased unbelievably in assessed
valuation admittedly below the market
price over the original cost. One case of
nearly 9,.Vmj per cent Increase within the last
sixty years was found, several cases of
from 2.000 to &.0U0 per cent Increase in the
last aeveuty-five years, ninety-nine cases of
over BOO per cent increase, and nearly 200
of over 100 per cent increase. The city
owns In all SH3 sites.
Alderman Cnmpbelt notes that -Berlin
owns one-tenth of the land within Its own
limits, Vienna about one-seventh. Munich
one-fourth and Frankfort-on-Main about
one-half. One city, he says, la so well off
that there are no taxes; the rent from the
city's lands pays all the expenses. He does
not name it.
Claud Case, a 6-year-old, went to the
cellar of hia home and amused himself with
his father's bicycle. He found that by turn
ing It upside down he could make the rear
wheel revolve at high speed by turning the
pedals. But, while he labored with one
hand, he unconsciously laid the other upon
the sprocket wheel. Two fingers of this
hand were nearly severed. He went up
stairs.
Mother, I hurled myself," said he
calmly.
The horrified mother sent for an ambu
lance. Dr. Mauger of the German hospital
responded.
"I can sa.ve those fingera by stitching
them up," said he, "but the child had bet
ter go to the honpltal."
"Sew 'em up here," said the boy.
As the stitching process was going on
the youngster said: "You sew slower'n
my mother does."
"Doesn't it hurt your' asked the aston
ished surgeon.
"Sure it hurts, but I ain't going to cry
for you!"
On one of those stuffy days last week a
heavy Ice wagon drew up near Chatham
square and the man in charge went in to
see what the order would be. While he
was gone several children clambered on
the rear step and began to fish for small
pieces. One. little girl had just scooped out
a handful when tne iceman returned and
chased her away. .'
'Sell me 5 cents worth of ice. please,"
said a well dressed woman who wore a
white ribbon and had seen the little girl
crying from disappointment. The man
weighed a fa'r sized piece of Ice and wrap
ping it In a newspaper handed It to the
woman.
"Here, little one. Is a nice big piece
of tee," said the woman loud enough to be
heard by every one of the small crowd
that had collected. "You needn't cry any
more. Take this home to mother and the
sick sister."
The child. Instead of drying her tars,
cried more and made no attempt to take
the ice.
''it's too b-b-big," sobbed ths child.
"Too big. and what did you want to do
with It, my child"
"We was goin' to put It down the blind
man's back," replied th girl, bursting Into
tears again.
Sol M. Ireland of Rye, who Is village
president and also village undertaker, ha
lost a hat In a rash bet with a woman and
has Just learned what women's hats cost.
The undertaker was so certain that Sen
ator J. Mayhew Wainwrlght would not be
renominated that he felt perfectly safe in
betting on the proposition. He la a mem
ber of the school board, and in an srgu
nient with one of the women teachers let
his sporting spirit carry him loo far.
"I'll bet you a hat Wainwrlght isn't
nominated," he said to th teacher, And
the teacher said "I've got you" before Mr.
Ireland had a chance to reconsider.
The w nner Informed Mr. Ireland th
she was going to New York to buy the
hat and he at once began making discreet
Inquiries as to the depth of the hole into
which he had left himself. Th village
milliner told him a toque shouldn't run
much above but a satin Charlotte Cor
day oi'k'ht to set him back from 1125 to l-!00.
Mr. Ireland la perspiring profusely and
asking friends of the teacher to reach her
by telephone and ask her to be reasonable.

FEET.
Amos 11 Wells in Life.
Of all the vehicles we meet
J it air and sea and on the street,
1 humbly Ming the praise of feet.
It ia not widely understood
How safe are feet, how soundly good.
How firm with supple hardihood.
Consider: feet run not away;
Where feet are put, there feet will stayj
Or, turned, feet promptly will obey.
Further consider: feet will not
However worn, or pinched, or hot.
Explode, and wreck your chariot.
And think: however feet may ache,
How many million trips they make
Without a blowout or a break 1
And though the feet ace punctured too.
They mend themselves Without ado,
And plod along aa good aa new.
Feet need nd llcenae: feet may go
In narrowest pathways to and fro:
The fairest hidden nooks they know.
Feet linger through a pleasant scene;
Feet run not out of gasoline;
A handy brook, and feet are clean.
Feet in all weathers boldly run;
Heedless of mud their miles are spun.
Nor by the snow are feet undone.
Feet run not over dog or boy;
Do not with raucous horn annov.
Nor throw their dust on others' joy.
In fine, on feet I'll travel far,
The noblest vehicles there sre are
Till I can buy a touring car!
