Hunting Trip on a Wet Day Brings
Painful Kesuts.
Once upon a time Charles Mullen of
Philadelphia went gunning. It was a
dismal rainy day, and long exposure to
cold and wet brought on a severe attack
of rheumatism. He was confined to his
home.
A friend recommended Sloan’s Lini
ment, citing his own case as evidence of
its effectiveness. Mullen bought a bottle
ana applied it to his aching limbs. Soon
improvement was noticed and he was
able to return to business.
“Mr. Mullen writes: “Since that ex
perience I have never been without
Sloan’s Liniment in the medicine chest. ”
You will find it soothes bruises, sprains,
toothache and relieves lame back, neu
ralgia, in fact, all external pains. At all
druggists, 25c., 50c. and $1.00 a bottle.

Why Men Commit Crime.
Something for Use in the Campaign .Against
the Saloon.
[Highland Park, Calif., Herald.J
I am going<o make a few suggestions
on a matter which should be used in the
coming Dry Campaign. During the past
five years more than one thousand men
charged with having committed peniten
tiary offenses have been before me for
their preliminary examination. I have
made a personal examination in nearly
every case as to the habits of these men,
and have classified them into several dif
ferent classes according to the character
of the individuals. It is of some interest
to know why men commit crime,especial
ly when at least a hundred of such crimes
are committed within tile jurisdiction of
the Los Angeles Courts each month in
the year. Seventy-five per cent of the
one thousand men who have been before
me were under the age of thirty years,
and probably twenty-five per cent were
under the age of twenty years. To say
that fifty per cent of these criminals owe
their downfall to use of intoxicating li
quors is indeed a conservative statement.
Fully eighty per cent or the men brought
before me charged with murder were in
toxicated, at the time the act was com
mitted, to such a degree that they could
not realize what they were doing.
Within one month during the past winter
five men were brought before me charged
with murder, and of this number four
were intoxicated when ihe act was com
mitted, and the fifth had every appear
ance of having been a hard drinker in the
past, which had so affected his mental
and moral nature that he had little con
ception of right and wrong. Eighteen
men were brought into my court at one
time charged with having committed, a
misdemeanor. Examining each one se
parately as to his personal habits, it was
found that the entire number, with a
single exception, spent their earnings in
a saloon, and when out of work and
money gone they committed some crime
for the purpose of either getting money,
or being committed to jail, where lodging
and food would be furnished at the Coun
O CAJJC1IBC.
Issuing bad checks without sufficient j
funds to meet the payment and also forg
ing the names of well known men to
checks in order to have them cashed,
constitute about ten per cent of the
crimes which have been committed in
Los Angeles County during the past year; i
of the number who have appeared before j
me charged with this offense I can recall
only one who was not intoxicated at the
time the crime was committed. The
men who commit this crime are usually
above the average criminal in socid and
intellectual standingjin several instances
lawyers, salesmen, and not infrequently
young men in well-to-do circumstances.
No man sober and in his right mind would
think of getting a check cashed without
sufficient funds to meet it, for he would
certainly know that the crime would be
detected as soon as the check reaches
the bank on which it is drawn.
If some person who has the time and
patience would compute the cost of crime
caused directly by intoxicating drink in
the Counties of San Francisco and Los
Angeles alone, and compare the figures
with the revenue received from all of the
saloons in these counties, it would cer
tainly astonish some of our hard-headed
business men who advocate the licensed
saloons because of the revenue derived
therefrom. The factis.if the drink traffic
could he eliminated the savings to the
taxpayers in criminal expenses alone
would amount to much more than all the
money received from the saloons and
licenses. From the money point alone
the saloon is the most expensive luxury
which the State of California harbors.
In the mountains back of Los Angeles
is a sort of a refuge camp for the “down
and outs” who have neither home,friends
nor money; this institution is supported
by individual contributions. I spent one
night in that camp a few weeks ago, and
the testimonies of the 125 men there at ,
that time showed that every one of them
was brought to his condition through
drink. Most of these men are incapacita
ted for work which requires any skill or
responsibility, and were it not for this
home provided by a few kindly disposed
individuals they would either be in some
penal institution or in some alms house,
No one who knows the facts from ex
perience in criminal matters will charge
me with making an extravagant state
ment when I say that at least fifty per
cent of the crimes committed in Califor
nia may be traced directly to the licensed
saloon. And I will further state that
seventy-live per cent of the crimes com
mitted by boys in their teens is due to
the cigarette habit.
Unless the people of California banish
the liquor traffic from this State, and pro
hibit the selling of cigarettes to minors
there is very little hope for the futuie
manhood of a large class of the boys and
young men in our midst wno will soon be
come men in age and physical stature,
but will always be mental and moral de
generates.

Isle Au Haut,
The Sentinel of Penobscot Bay.
Among the numerous Maine islands,
lot one is mere romantic in its atmos
lere, more picturesque in its scenery, or
if more elusive charm than the Lofty
Isle which stands out. so boldly at the en
trance to Penobscot bay. As a sentinel
it lifts its broad challenge to the incoming
voyager and separates the western, or
main ship channel, from an eastern en
trance almost as broad and quite as fre
quented, at least in former bays, writes
Mary Dunbar Devereux in the Lewiston
Journal. The island, too, seems contein
plative of all the life which passes it and
to look out across the old Atlantic with a
sphinx-like calmness of aspect which
inly the gray rocks of the older geolo
gical ages are able to assume.
Silurian sandstone forms its mass,
varying in tints and coloring and blending
with sky and sea, the verdure of summer
and the snows of winter, ever grand and
picturesque.

9urf-atormed ledges and several smaller
islands—Kimball, Burnt, York, Great
and Little Spoon helping to form de
lightful boat harbors, while Head harbor
anti Duck harbor, drowned valleys in the
island itself, are ideal refugees for the
fishing fleet. Under the mountainous
ridge forming the backbone of the island,
tucked away in a hollow a mile and a half
long near the east coast, is the dearest
and most limpid of fresh water lakes,
whose source and purpose in nature no
man can ever know.
At the southwest, Western Head
guards the main channel, watching still
as it watched when Weymouth’s and
Kirk’s expeditions passed in the early
years of thel7th century: watching still
as when Father Rasle, the great Jesuit,

At the southeast, the Eastern Ear
listens still, as it listened to the shouts of
the vikings in the eleventh century when
they sailed up the Eastern Bay, explor

3omes Sound on Mt. Desert, where traces
if their encampment in the form of a
well and stone heaps are yet to be found;
as it listened to the cries of Champlain’s
men in 1604, when they crept up the
Penobscot Bay—the earliest recorded ex
plorers of the region. The La Tours saw
this cape and d’ Aulnay also, as each in
turn came to take possession of Penta
goet at the mouth of the Penobscot.
And, a few years later, Baron Castin
passed this point when he came to ce

O A S T O F* i A
Democratic tension Record.
To the Editor of the Journal. The
Democratic Party is making most des
perate efforts to convince the people that
they are entitled to their support, for an
other term. Some of the points which
they endeavor to establish in their favor
are far-fetched indeed. Onp, on which
their speakers lay great emphasis, is
their new-found interest in the aged ve
terans. They lay great stress on the
fact that the Republican s did not say
anything about pensions in their last
platform. The idea that an old saint has
got to go around calling attention to his
Christian character!
Heretofore the great thorn in the
Democratic side has been that the Re
publicans have been such great sticklers
for ihe Union soldiers. The attitude of
the Republican Party towards the old
soldier and sailor for the past fifty years
has been one grand emphasis of that
great banner that met their gaze as they
marched down Pennsylvania Avenue be
fore Gen. Grant on May 27, J.S65, which
read: ‘‘There is one debt this Nation
owes which it can never repay: that is
the debt it owes to its soldiers and
sailors.” That sentiment the Republican
Party has sacredly kept. And there is
no need of its popping up every four
years and calling attention to it. Deeds
and not words has been its motto on this
question. With the enactirg of the first
14 great pension bills,beginning with that
of July 14, 1862, and signed by President
Lincoln, and ending with that great law
signed by President Harrison on June
27, 1890, the Republican Pariy has ful
filled its sacred promise, ”To provide
against the possibility that any man who
honorably wore the Federal uniform
should become the inmate of almshouse
Lest the Democratic party should
“point with pride,” to their record on
the passage of those bills through Con
gress, let us examine their record. The
conbined Republican vote on those 14
bills was; Ayes, 1068: noes, none, Demo
cratic, Ayes 417; Noes, 648. Thus we
see that the Republican vote was unani
mous, the Democratic vote was more
than two-thirds against them. For the
passage of the so called Sherwood Pen
sion Bill, the Democrats are taking to
themselves great credit. Let us examine
their record on that bill, which was in
troduced by a Democrat, and passed by a
Democratic House. They have charged
that that great Republican, the late Hon.
Sereno E. Payne of N. Y., voted against
that law. He did vote against it as it
came from the Committee on Pensions,
as it contained restrictions which he
could not endorse. But when it had been
perfected in the Republican Senate, and
later was endorsed by the Democratic
House, he gladly supported it. The joint
vote on the bill was; Ayes, Republican
149, Noes, Republican none; Ayes, Dem
ocratic, 78; Noes, 92.
So here we again see that there was an
unanimous Republican vote, while the
Democratic vote was sixteen majority
against it. Surely not a record to which
they can “point with pride.” For it
would have been defeated had it depend
ed on the Democratic voter!
The bitter prejudice of the Democratic
Party to pension legislation was well
manifested by President Cleveland in his
vetoing of 550 pension bills. His record
in this matter was as offensive to the
American people as is that of President
Wilson’s International Correspondence
School. But let the poor drowning body
clutch at its last straw. Its doom is
sealed. The verdict has gone forth.
Maine has spoken in no uncertain tones.
The Nation only awaitB the fast approach
ing day in which it can register its em
phatic repudiation of the vacillating
Democratic policy. This is but another
illustration of the fact that the Demo
cratic party has been a one-term party
for the past 87 years, with about twenty
years between. But it doeB not seem
that the intelligent voters of this Nation
could so far forget as to give them an
other lease of power at the end of the
next 20 years. C. E. Smith.

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge.
Addrtsses a Big Republican Rally at Harvard
College. Attempt of the Wilson Admin
istration to Get the Support of the Ger
man-American Leaders.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, speaking
before the Harvard Republican Club
Monday evening, Oct, 23d, read a state
ment made by Victor Ridder, editor and
proprietor of the New York Staats Zd
tung, in which Mr. Ridder declared 'hat
on Sept. 16 h, at a conference in New
York. Senator Stone assured several
prominent German-Americans that “the
apparent anti-German-American policies
of the Wilson Administration were only
for public consumption and that private
ly they were ready to work hand in glove
wiih the Germar.-American leaders.”
Senator Stone’s object, according to
Mr. Ridder, was ‘ to tind out what ac
tion was necessary on the part of the
Administration, in order to secure the
support of German-Americans at the
coming election.”
Ten days later, Mr. Ridder’s statement
said, Postmaster General Burleson ar
ranged through George Sylvester Vier
eck, editor of the Fatherland, for a con
ference at Democratic National Head
quarters with a number of prominent
German-Americans, but all but Mr.
Viereck declined to attend.
Reads Ridder’s Statement.
Mr. Ridder's statement, Senator Lodge
explained, describes a dinner which was
held at Terrace Garden, in New York, on
Sept. 16th. The statement, as read by
Senator Lodge, follows:
“There were present at this conference,
Mr. Otto Van Schenk, Mr. Henry Abeies,
Mr. Joseph trey, president of the Ger
man-American Catholic Societies; Pres.
Collmeyer of the United German Turn
ers, and one or two other friends whose
names I do not remember; George Syl
vester Vierick, the editor of the Father
land, arid Senator Stone.
“This conference lasted from 8 o’clock
at night till 3 o’clock Sunday morning.
Senator Stone used all his well known
powers of persuasion —and I am ready
to concede him the palm as an able advo
cate of the Administration—to convince
us that the apparent anti-German-Ameri
can policies of the Wilson Administra
tion were only for public consumption
and that privately they were ready to
work hand in glove with the German
Ameriean leaders.
“The whole object of this conference,
so far as Senator Stone was concerned,
was to find out what action was neces
sary on the part of the Administration
in order to secure the support of German
Americans at the coming election.”
Then Burleson Appeared
“Can anything be more humiliating
than the spectacle of the chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee of the
Senate gumshoeing in a small room of a
Third av beer garden and bartering for
the votes which the President from the
platform of Shadow Lawn and in his
speech of acceptance had repudiated?
“The conference broke up at 3 o’clock
in the morning and matters were left in
a state of watchful waiting.
“Hardly 10 days passed by when the
second emissary of President Wilson ap
peared in New York city to accomplish
what Senator Stone had failed to ac
complish.
“This time the messenger appeared in
the person of a Cabinet Minister —no
less a personage than Albert Burleson,
Postmaster General, who divides the
honors with Senator Stone and Col.
House in the intimate advisorship of the
President.
“Mr. Burleson arranged through Mr.
Vierick, the editor of the Fatherland,
for a conference at the offices of the
Democratic National headquarters in
the 42d-St Building, for the hour of 12
o’clock on Tuesday, Sept. 26.
Declined to Meet Him.
“Invitations were extended to the fol
lowing: Bernard H. Ridder, Oscar Seitz,
the editor of the Hearst German paper,
Rudolph Pagenstecber, and many others.
The committee was to meet in Mr.
Pagenstxcher’s office, which was con
veniently located in the same building as
the Democratic National Headquarters.
“Be it said to the credit of the gentle
men invited that they declined to have
any dealings in the subterranean politi
cal diplomacy which was being engineer
ed by the Wilson group.
“Mr. Viereck was the only one to wel
come Mr. Burleson. What transpired
between Mr. Burleson and Mr. Viereck
may safely be left to the imagination
until such times as either one of the gen
tlemen is willing to take the public into
his confidence.
“So much for the campaign of Keller,
Stone, Burleson and Wilson. What they
have done in New York they have done
in the West. They have been hypocrit
ical to the limit and we have been in the
best position to observe their hypocrisy.”
Put it (jp to President.
“There have been denials ^ details,”
said Senator Lodge, when he had finish
ed reading the statement, “but no de
nials of the meeting or of its purpose as
described by Mr. Ridder.”
“That statement needs no comment,”
the speaker continued. “There was the
chairman of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee—the representative of the Presi
dent in the Senate—and a member of the
Cabinet engaged in an effort to secure
votea for the President by making our
politics turn on the sympathies, which
we are all entitled to feel, in regard to
the conflict in Europe and by dividing
Americans into parties based on racial
descent.
ft “I do not think that there could be
anything worse than this. It is for the
President of the United States to say
whether he was cognizant of these nego
tiations.”
C, Earlier in his address Senator Lodge
had assailed the administration for con
ducting international relations ‘‘purely
on a basiB of securing votes,” something
which “never has been done in our his
tory until the past three years.”
“Our foreign relations,” he said,
“have hitherto been dealt with as the
foreign relations of every great Nation
should be dealt with, in accordance with
the principles of International law and
the well-settled traditions and practice
of the Republic. In no other way can
the foreign relations of a great Nation
be properly conducted.
“A Thing of Shreds and Patches.”
“If the Executive writes a note to
satisfy a popular sentiment at the mo
ment; if he writeB another note in the
hope of conciliating some group of vot
ers marked out by racial lines, and then
writes still another note in a different
sense to conciliate another group marked
out by other racial lines, our foreign
policy becomes a thing of shreds and
patches, such as we have beheld with a
deep sense of humiliation during the past
three years.
“As an example of what I mean by
this fluctuation, let me give you a single
example from my own immediate expe
rience. At the outset of the war the
Administration issued a circular note to
the Powers stating our position as to
armed merchantmen.
“Nothing is better settled in interna
tional law than that a merchantman
solely armed for defense does not lose
her character as a privately-owned sh p,
and that character entitles her to warn
ing from a hostile belligerent, entitles
ihe neutrals rightfully on board to be
landed safely at the nearest port and the
crew to proper treatment as prisoners of
war.
“These principles have been establish- |
ed in the interest of humanity; they have
been adopted and accepted by all civiliz
ed Nations for more than two hundred
years.
“The circular of Sept. 19, 1914, took
this correct ground and it had my sup
port, as it had that of all men who be
lieved in the maintenance of an honest
neutrality, for it observed all the prin
cinles of international law.
Changed His Mind Twice.
“On Jan. 18. 1916, the Administration
sent a note to the Powers, signed by Mr.
Lansing, in which they proposed to
modify thes" well-established principles
and to have an armed merchantman,
owned by a belligerent, lose her private
character and be subject to the treat
ment of an auxiliary cruiser; that is, of
a vessel of war, liable to be destroyed,
without regard to the passengers or
crew, by an enemy vessel. This was
done with a view to conciliating one of
the belligerent powers and securing
some language in a note which could be
used by the administration for political
purposes and called ‘a diplomatic vic
tory. ’
“The avowed purpose was to facili
tate the operation of the submarine, be
cause the submarine was vulnerable and
ought not to be exposed to resistance
arid possible destruction by an armed
merchantman. It was proposed to set
aside all that humanity and law had
built up in the course of centuries, in
order to make the submarine more dead
ly in its operation.
“I could see no ground for making the
submarine, which is an instrument of
death, any more effective than it was.
I thought the law ought to be retained
and the submarine, like other vessels of
war, subjected to it. I and others at
tacked this proposition in the Senate,
“Then the President changed his mind
again and returned to the original and
correct position. He lost my support
when he wrote the note of Jan. 18th.
He regained it when he changed his
rr.ind for the second time and returned
to the only correct attitude.
Evil of Racial Divisions.
"Do you think that a foreign policy
conducted by methods like this secures
to us the respect of foreign Nations or
tends to maintain the influence which
we once had not so many years ago
when Roosevelt was President and Root
was Secretary of State? This one case
is typical of the whole toreign policy of
the Administration and you will see in it
just what I have described—the attempt
to use our foreign relations for the pur
pose of conciliating groups of voters
separated by lines or racial descent.
“There is no more evil thing than the
effort to divide our people along the li les
of race. We came from many races and
the only salvation of the country is that
all men, native-born and naturalized,
should act in their public affairs simply
as Americans, knowing only one allegi
ance and reverencing only one tradition,
the tradition of the United States.
