There is not a joyful boy or an iano- cent girl, buoyant with the fine pur- poses of duty, in all the street, full of eager and rosy faces, but a cynic can dull and dishearten with a single word. But to help the young soul, add energy, inspire hope, and blow the coals into a useful flame; to re- deem defeat by new thought, by firm { action, that is not easy, that is the work of divine men. The Suffragists. Handicapped by not having the bal- || lot, women nevertheless find other ways of working for the public good. An organization in Lancaster, Pa., for instance, has just petitioned the city councils to pass an ordinance for- bidding the door to door distribution | of patent medicine samples and liter- ature dealing with sexual diseases. They argue that both are harmful to the youth. It is a significant fact ‘that women in this organization are also among Lancaster’s most active advo- cates of equal suffrage. A canvass of European nations shows conclusively that the world wide cam- paign for epual suffrage is by no means a speradic attempt but it is an advan- ced position. Only three European countries have no organized suffrage movement. These are Spain, Greece and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg which can scarcely be classed as pro- gressive nations. Every other Euro- pean country is represented in the In- ternatlonal Suffrage Alliance. Illinois women are anything but backward in exercising their new right of franchise. Three generations of women in one family voted at Carpen- tersvllle in a recent election. The bishop of the Missionary! Dis- trict of Utah of the Protestant Epis- copal Church is the Rt Rev. Dr. Frank Spaulding. He formerly lived in Col- orado, so he may be presumed to know something about both state. *‘In Col- orado and Utah the women are clean- ing house,’’ he said recently and went on to express the opinion that as a matter of sound, practical politics the movement for equal suffrage is the greatest movement for the betterment of the American people that has ever been inaugurated. Governor George H. Hodges,of Kan- sas, is hopeful that women will soon sit as members of the sunflower legis- lature. Governor Hodges is an enthu- siastic friend of equal suffrage and a firm believer that women are as com- petent to make and administer laws as men are. ‘‘Women are much interes- ted in education,’”” he said recently. “They are closer to their children than their fathers. They see the need of laws. Women have the power to aid in making the Kansas laws and I hope to several women in the next Kansas legislature. P—— Se Hives, eczema, itch or salt rheum sets you ‘crazy.

Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 9.—Between reductions of appropriations and con- traversies over the constitutional and other technical questions relative to use of income from automobile 1 censes under the new act of July 7, 1913, the construction work of the State department in developing the road system will be curtailed and the repair work on the main and State- aid highways halted within a few weeks The situation in regard to the im- provement of roads in the State is assuming’ a shape which is beund sooner or later to be unsatisfactory. Under present conditions the High- way department is scarcely able to estimate how much money it will have to spend during 1914 and the first half of 1915, for which periods much important work was planned, and the aggregate of the operations this year will not be much more than in 1912. The uncertainty as to revenue and questions about payments are rapidly bringing about stronger sentiment in favor of the constitutional amend- ment to borrow $50,000,000 for roads as the only safe and sensible way in which to obtain the money for high- way improvement. There is no way to control legislatures in the matter of vofing appropriations, and when the income is exceeded the cuts have to be made in many directions so that worthy objects shall not suffer. Hence it has come about that at the very outset of the movement of the Key- stone state to secure good roads all plans. have to be revised and cut down. The development of the high- ways of the State can never go for- ward systematically, and economical- ly in the end, without there being a definite sum available for each year. The means to bring this aboyt seem to be afforded by the bond issue amendment. The Pennsylvania Motor Federa- tion, which is urging the ratification of the amendment, is composed of thousands of owners of motor vehi- cles ¢< the State, who.contribute over three quarters of a million dollars a year to the public treasury and whose members regard the bond issue as the best means to secure uniform and certain road improvement in a State solrich in scenic features that it is bound to profit exceedingly from in- crease in motor tourist traffic as well as from betterment of means of com- munication between market towns and county seats.

Petrolia.— Picks, trowels and spades figured as weapons in a pitched bat- tle which took place between cement workers and employes of the Balti- more & Ohio railroad. The cement men were victorious. Section men employed by the railroad company started to dig a hole in a new cement walk laid in front of Hawk & Son’s store. Three men putting down the cement went after the alleged in- truders, who retreated. Altoona.—Telling how it feels to re- ceive 3,300 volts of electricity in the body, Walter Meyer, aged 25, a Penn- sylvania railroad electrician and son of former Mayor S. M. Moyer, said: “My mind was a perfect blank from the instant of the contact and at no time did I know a thing that was go- ing on, until I suddenly recovered consciousness and thought I had been asleep.” Moyer was nearly killed by coming in contact with a live wire while at work. Pittsburg.—Nearly 9,000 boquets of flowers were distributed among the children in the public ‘schools here by the flower committee of the North- side Playground and Vacation Schools association which completed its labors for this year. Mosiertown.—Paul Bacon, 18,’ and | Clyde Barnes, 18, are dead and Miss | Jessie Williams, Frederick VanSoot and two small children of Edward Freeman, all of this place, are critic- ally ill as the result of eating tainted ice cream at a farewell party six weeks ago, according to the state health officials.

A quorum was not present at the coun- cil meeting and if the delay con- tinues a few more days no action can be taken for several years. It is thought that the failure to obtain a quorum was due to the activities of interests opposed to the movement. Erie.—Mrs. Lena Miller, white, liv- ing at 302 Sassafras street, had a nar- row escape from death early yester- day morning, when she was struck by thrée bullets fired at her by Asa Bass, a negro.

DROUHT CAUSES GREAT LOSS Government Experts Estimate Wheat Harvest Will Yield 511,000,000 Bu- shels, Exceeding Record of 1902 by 19,000,000 Bushels. ‘Washington, Aug. 9.—Heavy decline in the ‘condition and amount of the corn crop, though not more than ex- pected, accompanying a gain in winter wheat crops and makes the total wheat crop a record for size only once exceeded in the country’s history, to- gether with normal or better than nor- mal crops in all other products, gave the Government's August crop report a mixed appearance. Stocks which had hesitated moved up on its publi- cation. A loss of 300,000,000 bushels of corn, the nation’s greatest farm crop, has resulted from the great damage wrought by drought and other condi- tions since July 1. A total production of 2,672,000,000 bushels of corn was predicted. This is 452,000,000 bushels less than last year’s crop. The general condition of corn was placed at 75.8 per cent. of a normal, compared with 86.9 per cent. on July 1. Kansas was hit hardest, the con- dition there having been reduced from 81 per cent. in July to 30 per cent. on Aug. 1. Oklahoma came next, with a condi- tion of 44 against 87 in July, and Ne- braska reported 67 against 91 July 1. These three Stdtes have almost 19 per cent. of the total area planted to corn this year. A bright spot in the monthly grain report, however, was the preliminary statistics, showing a production of 511,000,000 bushels ¢f Winter wheat. This is the greatest harvest of wheat ever gathered in the United States, exceeding the record crop of 1902 by These figures ex- ceeded by 28,000,000 bushels the esti- mate made by the department in July. In Spring wheat, too, there is an in- creased estimate of production, being 15,000,000 bushels more than the July estimate, the total being placed at 233,000,000 bushels. With the bumper Winter wheat crop | and a fairly good Spring wheat pro- duction, the total harvest of all wheat | ig estimated at 744,000,000 bushels. A crop this size would place the year’s | production second only to the record | crop of 1901, when 748,000,000 bushels were produced. The harvest of white potatoes, it is estimated, will be smaller by 82,000, 000 bushels than the crop of 1912. A total of 339,000,000 bushels is esti- mated. : The condition of oats was reported as 76.3 per cent. of normal. The esti- mated production is 1,028,000,000 bu- shels, as compared with 1,413,337,000 last year. Barley condition was 74.9 per cent. and the estimated production is 168,- 000,000 bushels, compared with 223, 824,000 last year. Rye condition was 94 per cent. and the indicated yleld is 35,000,000 bu- shels, compared with 35,644,000 last year The condition percentage in buck- wheat is given as 85.5 per cent. and the yield ig estimated at 17,0000,000 bushels, compared with 19,249,000 last year. Tobacco production is estimated at 896,000,000 pounds, compared with 962,855,000 last year. The production of flax is estimated at 20,000,000 bushels; rice at 27,000, 000, and hay at 64,000,000 tons. With the exception of hay, all other commodities showed slight losses in condition as well as indicated yields. The extremely hot weather and lack .of sufficient moisture in the great grain producing centers during Aug- ust accounted mainly for the loss in all feed crops. DEATH OF SENATOR JOHNSTON Strength of Administration Behind Tariff Bill Reduced—Will Fill Va- cancy Soon. Washington, Aug. 9.—Joséph For ney Johnston, United States Senator from Alabamg, died of pneumonia at his apartment in the Brighton after a brief illness. His death reduces the known democratic strength behind the tariff bill in the Senate and leaves the situation so close as to cause worry among democratic leaders. Senator Johnston’s wife and son, Forney Johnston, of Birmingham, were at the bedside. Two sons—William H. and Edward D. Johnston, who live in Alabama—were unable to arrive before their father died. The Senator was 70 years old. His term would have expired on March 3, 1915. He served through the Con- federate army enlisting as a private and rising to the rank of captain. Senator Johpston was chairman of the Military Affairs Committee. He already had determined to be a candi- date for re-election, and Congressman Richmond Pearson Hobson had en- tered the race against him. Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 9.—Gover- nor O'Neil will order a special elec- ton at once to fill the vacancy Caused | by the death of United States Senator | Joseph F. Johnston. DEAD LETTER AUCTION PROBABLY LAST ONE OF ITS PE- CULIAR TYPE. This Year's Sale Proved to Be Very Successful One, Despite Sundry Set- backs, the Proceeds Realizing $10,861—Diamond for $350. Despite sundry setbacks during the past month or so, the dead letter sale, which has just been closed, proved to be a very successful one, after all, its proceeds realizing $10,861. It seems likely, however, to be the last one of its peculiar type that will be conducted by the governmunt, be- cause of the in- troduction of the parcel post. Among the articles sold was one catalogued as “No. 482, schedule C, unmounted di- SS ne 4 3-63 karats, brilliant cut.” It brought $350, as against 70 cents for the first article sold, which was de- scribed as man’s black kid glove (8), two silk neckties, two silk neck bows.” It has been necessary under the provisions of the postal laws and reg- ulations to prepare and catalogue arti- cles for sale in such a manner as to preserve as far as possible the iden- tity of each parcel as originally post- ed, in order that, under the law, the proceeds could be recovered by the sender or addressee within four years from the date of receipt of article in the division of dead letters. It is said to be impracticable to con- tinge this method or to hold accumu- lated packages on storage, under the parcel post law. In order to elim inate as far as practicable the objec- tionable lottery feature claimed to be involved in disposing of articles un- der the custom heretofore followed, the new regulations direct in effect that parcels will be held in division of dead letters for one-year only, after which no claim for reclamation will be considered. This will not affect, however, "the treatment of letters inclosing articles of merchandise, it is explained, and an amendment to the statutory law will be required for that purpose. But it will permit the disposition of par- cels at the expiration of one year as government property, in bulk or otherwise, and they can be prepared in such a manner as to permit full ex- amination by dealers and sold in quan- tities. Under the direction of the postmas- ter general, the parcels disposed of at the recent sale were opened and dis- played to purchasers so far as condi- tions would permit, but the amount of inspection which could be afforded to bidders was necessarily slight. While possible legal objection to the ele ment of chance in previous sales was fully met, it is probable a more sat- isfactory method will be adopted in the future. It is thought the depart- ment will not be criticised again for conducting a “lottery sale,” because of the new parcel post regulations and the action expected in response to the request of the postmaster general for legislation on the subject. 3 i* bi III [TTTTTE rn ii { rd HiT ii fii —— —— Ly WORK ON GRANT MEMORIAL Expected That Ceremonies of Dedica- tion Will Be Held In Early Autumn of 1914. Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, chairman of the Grant Memorial commission, says that the commission hopes: to have the Grant memorial completed and ready for the ceremonies of dedi- cation some time during the early autumn of 1914. The cavalry group, which is to be placed at the opposite end of the memorial from the artil- lery group, and the equestrian statue of Gen. Grant are yet to be completed and placed in position, the base, the bronze lions and the artillery group having already been completed. ‘Gen. Dodge, whose home is in Council Bluffs, Ia, is one of three surviving army corps commanders, the other two being Gen. Sickles and Gen. James H., Wilson. Gen. Dodge is the last surviving general com- mander, however, having been in command of the army of the Tennes-: /| see and of the department of Missouri.’ He was major general at the age of: thirty-two years, reaching this rank: in 1864. At that time, he says, he. had in his command a brigadier-gen-. eral, in command of a brigade, who was barely twenty-two years of age.: “Promotions came faster in those days than they do now,” said Gen. Dodge, in recalling this fact. Making a Guess.

FOES PROBE FUNDS LEGISLATORS TRACK MORE SULs ZER CAMPAIGN CASH, KEPT SECRET, THEY SAY. BROKERS BALK AT QUERIES Frawley Investigators’ Counsel Seeks to Show Political Cash Went to Governor's Private Account and Greatly Exceeded Sum Named. New York, Aug. 7—The Frawley committee, sitting in the Board of Estimate room at the City Hall, pug up to Governor Sulzer by question and inference as well as by documen- tary evidence the practical accusa= tion that he had used a fund of al most $50,000 given to him as cam- paign contributions for Wall Street bank account. In the trend of the inquiry those who have followed this Tammany ate | tack on Sulzer found that the legis- lators' who are probing into both his pointing toward than impeachment. 12 It should be noted that so far there: {8 no actual proof that the Morgen- thau, McCoombs and Lynn checks were campaign contributions, or that the mysterious “Account No. 500” was the Governor's or that the money he deposited to his private bank account came from campaign sources.

But the | paign far exceeded his statement un- der oath, that he deposited part of it to his personal account, that he bought stocks with part of it, and that the correlation between the various points in the testimony will be brought out later. The four. main’ points scored before the committee were these: — 1. In the course of the campaign Mr. Sulzer, or his secretary, Lonis A. Sarecky, received from Harry Morgen- thau, treasurer of the finance commit- tee of the Democratic National Com- mittee, a check for $1,000; from Will- dam F. McCoombs, National Demo- cratic chairman, a check for $500, and from John Lynn, of John Lynn and Co., novelty manufacturers of No. 483 Bond street, a check for $500. None of these were mentioned in the Gov- ernor’s sworn statement, in which he gave his total campaign receipts as $5,460 and expenditures, $7,724. 2. In the account which Sarecky tad with the Mutual Alliance Trust Co. between October 1 and election day 94 checks were deposited, all be- lieved by the committee to be part of the Sulzer campaign fund. In the Governor's sworn statement the num- ber of contributors was given as 68. 3. Between September 1 and Jan- vary 1 Governor Sulzer deposited $24, 395.31 to his personal account with, the Farmers’ Loan and’ Trust Co. and on January 1 had a balance there of $22,527.47. Against this fact Lawyer Richards sets Mr. Sulzer’s frequently repeated assertion that he is a very poor man. 4. On Octobet 21 somebody, said by Mr. Richards to be the Governor, bought through the Stock Exchange firm of Fuller & Gray 200 shares of stock of the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad—the Big Four—for which he paid $11,800 fn cash. One hundred shares were bought at 60 and 100 at 58. It must have proved a bad investment, for C. C. C. & St. L. has been sliding ever since and was quoted at 37 bid and 46 asked, with no sales—a paper loss of $4,400 to the buyer of those 200 shares. This account stand on the firm's books merely as “Account No. 500.” Arthur L. Fuller, of Fuller & Gray, said he didn’t know who the customer was. Melville P. Fuller, of Harris & Fuller, also a Stock Exchange house, refused to answer questions as to whether he had dealings with Gover- nor Sulzer, and Frederick Colwell, for- merly a member of Harris & Fuller, also blocked the committee “by ad- vice of counsel.” Senator Frawley di- rected Mr. Richards to get a court order to compel them to testify. It was made clear that Louis Ajj Sarecky, who refused in Albany last! week to testify as to whether his ae- count with the Mutual Alliance Trust Company was the Governor's, really was acting as the Governor's depositor of campaign money.
