The sinking of the Lusitania
recalls an almost forgotten chap,
ter in history. In December 1862
the Ariel, a large, passenger
steamer, Owned by Vanderbilt's
grandfather; Commodore Van-
derbilt, was overhauled by the
Confederate cruiser Alabama off
the coast of Cuba. The Ariel hod
on board 140 Federal officers and
men, a battalion of marines on
their way to the Pacific station.
She also had on board over 800
other passengers, many of them
women and children. Of course,
it was not possible for the Ala
bama to take the passenger off
the Ariel, which was a large and
valuable ship, and the property
of a bitter enemy of the South,
but it never occurred to the Con-
federate ; commander, Raphael
Sem mes, to sink the vessel , He
sent one of his officers to reassure
the women and children ( who
were expecting dreadful , things
from the "pirate,; Not , an arti
cle belonging to any pjMsenger
was touched. - The soldiers were
paroled, the' ship placed under
bond (a bond that Commodore
Vanderbilt nevermade good) and
the Alabama steamed away to
seek for stronger fots. The South

That fias been dei lonstrated be

And Mr. Bryan is also right in
his contenUon that the European
witr is the result of the fundaT
mfental precept that "migh.t
makes right" The governments
of Europe have been' conducted
on that false; philosophy that
comes from barbarians, since the
beginning. .. In , the liconduct of
European affairs we have seen in
stance; after instance, in recent
years, of the strong oppressing
the weak simply, because, the
strong had the power. Japan's
recent action in China is an ex.
ample. -v
Paradoxical as t may appear,
all of this does not mean that we
should , disperse our army and
abolish our navy. So long as the
Ideas mentioned prevail, we must
be in a position to defend our
selves or to enforce our rights if
the necessity arises. But we
shouldjimit our naval equipmen t
and our army to the lowest pos
sible limit consistent with rea
sonable safety, not considering
maginary dangers ; and . we
should continue, by precept and
example, to contend against the
idea that "might, makes right,"
or once that is eliminated the
necessity for burdening the peo
ple with immense armies and na
vies will have largely passed.

The enemy death entered the
home of Mr. Thomas Winkler on
the morning of June 1, 1915, and
snatched from him his 'dear wife,
sister urace, who died ol epilep
tic fits, and was sick only a short
time. !
Sister Grace was married to
Mr. Thomas Winkler about eight
years ago,and had since that time
lived a devoted life! She was for
merly Miss Grace B. Coffey. ,
The deceased united with the
Tabernacle Advent Christian
church in Caldwell tounty, where
she lived a faithful; member and
worker un til-she and her husband
moved to Wataugaj county where
she united with Pipe Grove Ad

The papers have told an inter
eating story of an old woman in
Grant township, Randolph coun
ty, Miss Ascenith Cox, who lived
alone, was a miserly old soul, and
died worth thousands. She was
a distantrelative of Mr. F. T.
Cox of Newton and lived about a
mile from his old home. It is es
timated she was worth $50,000,
attempting lot of gold and silver
money and gold bars, foreign
money, etc., being found in her
home. It fa said that several
years ago she moved all her spe
cie from the bank, and there was
so much weight to it they used a
one-horse wagon. Nobody has
ever known what became of it
She would have nothing but spe
cie in trading. Her timbered
ands are very valuable and she
would never sell a tree, telling
buyers that she panted the "an
cient landmarks tp stands-New.

From 12,000 toj20,Q0(i of the
city's poor have been standing
in line at the food distributing
station from 3 o'clock in the
morning until long , after dark
or the last seven days in an ef
brt to get enough corn to keep
alive. From eurht in the morn
ing until two in the" afternoon
they bear the hot rays of a trop
ical sun and from the latter hour
until dark they stand in down
pours of rain, for the wet season
has begun.
On some days as many as two
hundred have been carlied away
on stretchers by Red Cross at
tendants. They, have dropped
from weakness" 'due to lack of
food, from being overcome by
the sun's, rays, or, from suffoca
tion. So desperate have the rush
es for corn became at times that
soldiers guarding the lines in the
effort to maintain a semblance
o! order have had to fire over the
heads: of the: hungry throngs.
While these scenes were being en
acted on the, streets in Various
sections of the city, delegations
to the National Con ventiOn were
quarreling over whther General
Gonzales Garza or Gen. Manuel
Palafox should be named Chief
Executive.' . At times the! debate
became so fierce as to cause weap
ons to be drawn, i
One of these passages was in
terrupted by a mob of 1 women
who stormed the chamber with
the cry of "Give uscorn." Theie
is little -corn to give, an allot
ment of two quarts being the
maximum allowed to any one
applicant by the ,.
stations. The delegates, when
not engaged with matte rs of pre
cedence and office-seeking! devote
their time to passing laws such as
bills to compel the tilling of all
vacant lots, though seed corn for
planting and water lor irrigation
are lacking and bills to lower the
price of cereals, although, little is
to be had at any price. One del
egate introduced a bill making
labor compulsory on all, especi
ally the rich men. This man is
