Our Stay in Washington. During our recent short stay in Washington City it dawned upon us how exceedingly well North Carolina is represented in the United States Senate. Senator Simmons is really one of the great men of that body. He is universally popular with his col leagues, and it is not infrequent that the great men of the Senate request an audience with him on some ques tion they know he is familiar with in all its details, and in this way Senator Simmons is planting seed that will bring fourth fruit and enrich the Nation in all futurity. Though Mr. Simmons is a very busy man he finds time to give all North Carolinians a most cor dial greeting. Senator Overman, too, sheds lustre upon the Old North State, and especially do the people ol Oxford look upon his efforts to secure for us an up-to-date postoffice with genuine gratitude, and it is practically certain that the construction work will begin within the next two months. Coming down to home folks, Oxford has a good friend in Mr. Cortez Wright, one of Senator Simmon's most valued clerks. We found our young friend as busy as a bee amid documents and files, but when the rush is over and he find an hour which he can justly call his own he enjoys meeting friends from "down home," and makes them have a good time as he is numbered with the prince of good fellow.'-. We wish him'wtll. The Indians. It has been shown by competent witnesses that the Indian wards of the United State Government are getting anything but a "squre deal." Martin J. Bently, a farmer from Oklahoma, told the Senate committee on Indian affairs recently that of an appropriation of $2,000 for the support of seventy Kickapoo Indians, $45 went Cor supplies, and $1,897 for salaries to officials and clerks who bought and distributed those supplies. In 1911 Congress appropriates $35, 000 for the support of the Cheyennes and Araphahoes, of Oklahoma. Of this sum, $29,361.10 went for salaries to employees of the Indian department; $3,635.30 went for the support, travel ing expenses, etc., of these employes, and only $905.22 went to the Indians, in the way of subsistence, and $108 40 for furniture and household goods, thus giving the Indians $1,062.52 out of a total appropration of $35,000. A perusal of the report of the hear ings before the House committee on Indian affairs, which comprises the testimony of the commissioner of In dian affair, given as a basis for legisla tion for the Indians, shows dozen of instances of this kind. The figures given by this official reveal the start ling fact that of all the money appro priated for the care of indians, about 90 per cent, goes to officials of the In dian office for salaries, traveling ex penses, etc., and that only about 10 per cent, goes to the Indians. The Federal record shows that for years past Congress has been asked to appropropriate for the maintainence of 117,247 Indian?, and money has been paid out for the support of that number. The federal census for 1907 discloses that that there are only 75 012 Indians in the State of Oklahoma, thus revealing that Congress has been contributing money annually for the support of more than 42,000 Indians who do not exist. It has been shown that while the government pays out more than a mil lion dollars annualiy for salaries to employes and officials of the Indian department, the condition of the In dians in Oklahoma has grown gradu ally more desperate, until to-day they are in a state of poverty closely bor dering on destitution. As a result of these disclosures Senator Owen has introduced a bill in the Senates for the abolishment of the Indian office. The administration of the Indian trusteeship is one of the darkest Mots on the government of the last sixteen years. Courts and Justice. There is a good deal that is not right in the administration of ju-stice. We are speaking generally and not with reference to local courts. The complaints often made against courts are these: There is too much de lay; too much expense; too much idol atry of ancient rules and precedents; too many trials; too many appeals. All these things, coupled frequently with the jugglery of technicalities by subtle and shrewd lawyers, often make for the disadvantage of the poor and the benfit of the rich. Now there has come a lime when some political leaders propose a plan given the people the right to recall the judges. They say it is largely the fault of judges that they make litiga tion too expensive and too tedious. It is claimed they never have appeared to acknowledge these b id conditions and try to remedy them. It is only a few years since that the proposition of recalling judges was gen erally discussed throughout the country. It has grown with great rapidity, largely through the influence of men like LaFollette and Roosevelt It is claimed by the opponents of the idea that it is revolutionary and un wise. It remains to be seen what the result of the agitation will be. The Benificent Deity. The most practical test of a good law or a good religion is the effect it has upon human beings the way in which it shapes their lives. That which strengthens one's life, serines and elevates, is good; that which makes one coarse and low, is bad. Vengeance has been taught by some religious and practised by their votar ies at some time or other. But the core of religion is love. Love gives an added value to things which are already dear. Every moth er sees more in her children than any one else sees; the lover find more adorable qualities in his sweetheart. Without the conception of a wise and beneficent Deity there would be less worth and dignity to human na ture. Man would be a mere animal, without the desire of a nature life. If religion is not a source of morality and uplift it hardly has an excuse for existence. But true religion is that and more. And the spirit of religion does more for the safety and well-being of the human race than all the laws that were ever enacted. STOPS ITCHING SCADP OVERNIGHT. Guaranteed by J. G.

PHYSICIAN FOUND IN FIELD EATING CORN Emaciated and With Memory Gone, Doctor Is Rescued Af ter Four Days' Wandering. Trenton, Mo. Emaciated, half frozen and a physical and mental wreck, Dr D. W. Belshe, who disap peared a few nights ago while on his way to make a professional call, was found in a field near Tindall, Mo., six miles from Trenton. When discov- Found Devouring Corn From Shock. ered the physician was in a corn field eating corn out of one of the shocks. He was brought here and taken to his home. In the few lucid intervals which which he has had since being found, he was unable to remember anything that had transpired during the past few days. Doctor Belshe refused to recognize his uncle or to admit his own identity for several hours. Both hands and feet bear mute witness in their swol len condition to the harrowing experi ences which the physician must have undergone during his four days' wan dering in the bitterly cold weather. After he had been taken to his homo here Doctor Belshe managed to say that the did not know what had happened to him, except that he had spent one night in a haystack. NUNS HiDE FROM RESCUERS Barricade Selves in Burning Convent to Observe Rule That No Man Enter Premises. Paris. Word comes from Le Puy, the picturesque capital of central France, describing an incident that happened there recently, when a ter rible tragedy was averted only by the resolute action of the police and sev eral civilians, who succeeded in sav ing aged nuns from death by fire in I spite of their determination to die. Fire broke out at.the old convent of the order of Ste. Claire, and a brisfc ; wind caused the flames to spread so rapidly that soon the whole building j was in grave danger. The only oc- j cupants were seven aged nuns, who j had been given leave to end their j days In the convent in spite of the ministerial decree "Which dissolved ; their order. j The order is one of the most closely I cloistered, and one of the first rules forbids the admission of a man with in the precincts of the convent. Con sequently, when the police came up Th Nuns Were Saved In Spite of Themselves. they found that the sisters had with drawn to a dormitory and had there barricaded themselves against the entry of their would-be rescuers. All the appeals of the police for the door to be opened were fruitless, and In the end an entrance had to be effected by force, when the nuns were saved in spite of themselves.
