WASHINGTON LETTER
Washington City,
August 11, 1913,
There has been more war talk in
Washington within the last week
than at any time since the first dis
orders in Mexico began.
President Wilcon has sent Ex-Gov
érnor Lind, of Minnesota to Mexico
but has not up to date disclosed
the character of Mr. Lind's mission.
As ambassador Wilson has been
practically fired and the President
refuses to recognize Huerta, the sit
uation is very critical. Huerta is
defiant. A change for the betier
or worse is expected by the middle of
the week. President Wilson's pro
verbial luck may come to his rescue
in this crisis but that is about all
we have to depend on. So far as the
diplomatic situation and prevailing
conditions are concerned it looks
like war is inevitable.
*%% % %
Taft’'s wishy-washy policy is re
sponsible for the present trouble. If
when the first outbreaks occurred in
which Americans were mistreated
Mexico had been given to understand
that we would fight at the drop of
the hat, there would have been very
little more trouble. But we have
done nothing but ‘‘solemnly warn”
for the last two years until the Mex
icans think we are afraid.
Well, maybe we are. We will
know in the next few days. = -
My own opinion is that if Huerta
gives the cause, Woodrow Wilson
will go at him like a bull-dog at a
cat. I've seen Wilson's eyes and his
nose and his jaw at close range and
Jam ready to bet that if Huerta
keeps up his bluff preparation for
war will be in progress before the
end of the month.
%& B N
President Dias, who ruled Mexico
so long, was run out and the govern
ment seized. Then Huerta betrayed
readers, conspired with rebel fcres,
seized the government from Madera
and had him murdered. President
Wilson is unwilling for Uncle Sam to
recognize this butcher and clasp his
bloody hand. The Republican Am
bassador who had. been overstaying
his time and who was recently fired
was in favor of recognizing Huerta.
President Wilson will recognize a
constitutionally elected president of
Mexico whenever there is one.
This conflict between the pn-si-i
dent and the Ambassador is anothe'ri
illustration of the neccessity for get
ting Republicans out of office, |
It will be recalled that soon aftor}
Wilson was inaugurated the Prosi-l
dent announced the withdrawal of
this country from any purticipatiun‘
in what was known as the Chinese
loan, several powers having agreed
to ask bankers to lend a large snml
of money to China.
It was one of Taft’s botch jobs.
As soon as Wilson acted, a Repub
lican official in the State Department
resigned and rushed into print with
an attack on the administration.
It is impossible for the Democrat
ic administration to receive hearty
co-operation from Republicans and
the faster they go the better. That
is right, and, furthermore, I know
some Georgians who are standing in
line waiting for the procession to
move.
* ® ¢ &N
I don’'t believe Congress will ad
journ before the first of November.
A good currency bill is sure to be
passed.
The passage of the tariff bill is
of course assured.
I want to call attention to the fact
that every body is now saying what
the Marietta Journal said three
weeks ago, namely, that the danger
of a money scare is over. The coun
try will be on a boom in two months.

{ STIRRED HEARTS OF MILLIONS
Worshipers of Buddha Highly Ex
cited Over the Finding of the
Bones of Their Saint.
Of all the treasures unearthed by
archaeologist’s spade from the hidden
recesses of the earth, no find has ever
thrilled more human hearts than the
recovery of the bones of Gautama
Siddartha Buddha from a mound near
Peshawar, India’'s northwest frontier
strornghold.
The effect of this discovery upon the
votaries of Buddhaism, who are esti
mated to number more than 500,000,
000 and form a large percentage of the
population of Japan, Formosa, Korea,
China, Tartary, Siam, Annam, Cam
bodia, Tibet, Burma, Nepal, India and
Ceylon, and who look upon Buddha as
their emancipator, their god of gods,
can be appreciated only when it is
considered what a sensation the find
ing of the remains of Mohammed
would make in the Mohammedan
world. The unearthing of the bones
of their revered saint, it can be easily
imagined, has stirred the Buddhists to
the depths of their being in a way that
nothing else could have done.
What adds interest to the romantic
find, not only for Buddhists, but for
men and women of all creeds and
climes, is the fact that the exact lo
cation where these particular relics
of Buddhzn had been interred was
shrouded in mystery, hidden in an al
most impenetrable mass of oriental le
gendary lore. No one knew definitely
where the shrine had been erected,
and consequently the hunt for the pre
cious bones was no sinecure, but it
had to be based to a large extent on
pure guesswork.—Wide World Maga
zine.
WHALING INDUSTRY IS DYING
Scottish Fishery Boards Each Year
Report a Lessening Number of
Captured Ocean Monsters.
The old and famous whaling indus
try of Scotland is rapidly dying out.
The annual report of the fishery
boards of Scotland gives the total
catch of whales in Scottish waters
during 1912 at 440, as compared with
503 in 1911. This represents a de
cline of 138 per cent. in a year. lif the
figures are compared with those of
three years earlier the decline is 40
per cent.
An exceptional number of sperm
whales were captured—eighteen, as
compared with nlne of the previous
year. One of the eighteen was a fe
mele, the second female sperm whale
caught since whaling was started, al
though fifty-ive males have been
taken.
Market for Counterfeits.
It is not generally known that there
fs a market abroad for counterfeit
coin, and that this undesirable com
modity commands a standard sum in
exchange for good money. For ex
ample counterfeit florins of the best
make retall at the rate of $1.50 a doz
en, while shillings of superior quality
bring $1 a dozen. The better class of
foreign counterfeit coins will bear the
most minute inspection and are very
easily passed, being accepted by a
good many of the experts themselves.
There are, of course, a more common
set of “smashers,” who turn out an in
ferior kind of coin. These pass at a
lower rate amongst the fraudulent fra
ternity. From such folks shillings
may be had for 26 cents a dozen,
while florins of a baser sort demand
38 cents a dozen. The craft of the
counterfeiter by reason of the ad
mirable detective system now at work
against it, is one that requires the
most subtle skill and secrecy to insure
success, hence those who enter it are
comparatively few and undoubtedly
clever.
Wanted to Escape in Time
In a country town in the Knglish
midlands there is a man who is so
noted for his conversational abilities
that his acquaintances avoid giving
him unnecessary opportunities to
talk.
One morning this man rode up to a
hotel in the neighborhood just as the
guests were finishing breakfast. He
dismounted, walked in, saluted the
landlord in his usual loud tones and
declared that he was so cold that he
could hardly talk.
Just then a nervous traveler who
was present stepped up to the land
lord and, taking him by the coat, said:
“Mr, L——, have my bill brought as
soon as possible.”
“What is the matter, my dear sir?”
inquired the anxious landlord. “Has
anything happened?”
“Nothing, nothing. Only I want to
get away form here before that man
thaws.”
Do You Whistle?
“There are few more unlovely char
acters than the man that whistles,”
was the frank confession of a Harlem
graybeard. “Yet I can't help feeling
sorry for him.
“Not more than one man in a hun
dred that whistles on the street or in
other public places can carry an alr
or has any idea of music; therefore
his efforts are, nerve-racking. Most
whistiers never fail to whistle when
on their way home late at night, there
by murdering sleep. Most milkmen
wake people at an unreasonable hour
in the morning by whistling.
“Whistling is chiefly inspired by
contentment or high spirits—and it's
pleasing to know that so many are
conditiomed thus happily. But every
man that whistles makes every other
person within hearing distance un
happy while he 8 at it. Which is a
great pity and hardship."-—-New York
Globe.
THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER
THOUGHT OUT A NEW “GRAFT”
Torrid Weather Gave New York Beg
i gar an ldea Which He Seemingly
t Turned to Advantage.
i
! A man believed to be a professional
. beggar took advantage of the torrid
}weatber to work on the sympathies of
i persons in the subway, the New York
| Times states. The beggar, wearing a
‘heavy storm ulster, got on a north
bound Broadway express at six o’clock
! in the evening, at the Brooklyn bridge
| station. He found a seat in a corner
’ol the car, and the perspiring passen
| gers regarded him with surprise and
ipity. They noticed that the beggar
:hnd a long beard and that the storm
collar of the great coat was turned up
,and buttoned tightly about his neck.
' He seemed to be suffering much from
| the heat, for his lean face was molist
! with perspiration.
A sympathetic guard asked the beg
lgm- why he was clothed for winter
' when most of the men in the car had
cast aside their coats. The beggar re
, plied softly that he did not dare to
open his ulster, as he wore no clothing
underneath it. This information the
! guard communicated to several men in
the car. One of them started a collec
;'tion to get a suit of clothes for the
poor man. He passed a hat from one
« passenger to another, and several dol
lars in silver were obtained for the
beggar. He quit the car at the Grand
Central station, thanking his benefac
tors tearfully. After counting up the
collection he crossed to the south
bound platform of the station, where
he got on a downtown express. He
succeeded in arousing the sympathies
of the passengers on the train, and an
other collection was taken up and
turned over to him. When last seen
he was hurrying to a north-bound ex
press at the bridge station.
IN THIS DAY OF UNCERTAINTY
Sophisticated Girl Refused to Accept
Dueling Scars on Face as Proof
of German Blue Blood.
“Oh, he's a sure thing German
count,” sald the first summer girl.
“Look at the dueling scars on his face.
They mean that at Heidelberg or some
such university he was one of them
swell corps students that hack each
other up in duels just for the fun of
it.”
But the summer girl's companion,
who had traveled, sald:
“Darling, in these days of men's
beauty parlors, with sunburn at a dol
lar a quart, you can be sure of noth
ing. I was once like you. I thought
that dueling scars on a Dutchman’s
face meant he was a graf, sure. But
I've traveled and I've found out that
many and many a young German
butcher or baker or clerk, sports a
face full of scars without ever so much
as seeing a university. .
“For Germany leads the world in
men’'s beauty parlors as in lots of oth
er things, and Germans take treat
ments to give themselves duelling
scars the same as we take treatments
to give ourselves dimples. It's a pain
less treatment, too.
“Yes, all over Germany this goes on,
and so, as I said, you can't be sure
of nothing. That count of yours, for
all you know, may be a young milk
man just out of jail for stealing a
cow.”
The Art of Sleep.
I picked up in a letter in the Sun
not long ago the true remedy for sleep
lessness. One of your correspondents
suggested that continuity of thought
be broken by a string of jargon such
as saying in the mind “ocean, South
Africa, table, figures, mule, King
George, cow, ink, South America, tree,
Newport, wireless, picture, cold, mush
and milk, subway, candy.”
People form the habit of chewing
things over in the mind after going to
bed. Instead of going to sleep and
waking refreshed to tackle the prob
lems of the day with a vigorous mind,
they prefer to think them over at
night. The habit may be all right, but
it should be controlled like all habits.
Psychologically speaking, a person
should learn to think in words. He
should learn to read without words.
He should learn to sleep by a jumbie
of words. Motion pictures are splen
did, but they are teaching us to feel
without words. Thus we dream. Mo
tion pictures are making dreamers.—
Letter to New York Sun.
Gigantic Piers.
In New York work has been com
menced on the 1,000-foot pler made
necessary by the size of the vessels
which have already reached the point
to demand such accommodations. The
plans for the mew Tilbury docks pro
vide berths for vessels 1,250 feet long.
It has been predicted that the 1,250-
foot boat will be with us in 1939,
based on recent strides in shipbaild
ing, but there are many authorities
who look for it at an earlier date.
In order to take care of the increased
size of the modern vessel the Sues
canal will be deepened to 39 feet by
1916.
Decorates Abandoned Home.
Returning after a day's work as
baggagemaster on a New Haven
train, & citizen of Winsted, Conn.,
found a bare home, with only his bed
in it. His wife, children, and house
hold goods were gone.
After learing that his wife had rent
ed apartments elsewhere he proceeded
to celebrate. He bought firearms and
flags, and red, white, and blue bunt
ing. His neighbors were aroused dur
ing the nibht by reports of pistols,
and when day broke they saw the
house decorated in the national col
ors. He explained he was celebrating
his wife's retreat.
