His typewriter's covered and silent, his chair Is empty, his desk is in trim; It never was so when he used to sit there And hammer out copy with vim. The cigarette stubs that he left in a row Are gone and the table is clean; But gi?e me the mess that the place used to show And the click of his busy machine. He used to come in with his hat on his ear And a limp cigarette on his lip. With a smile that was crookea, ana eye that was clear, And a tongue that was fluent and flip. He'd hang up his coat on the hook overhead. Tilt his chair to the proper degree. Run his hands through his hair, which was curly and red, And write like a cyclone set free. And sometimes, when pegging away, forget That he isn't one of us still And I'll start to say, "Jim, got a good cigarette?" And turn to his battered old "mill." And then I'll remember that "30" is in For him who once sat on that spot. And, well; I redouble my hurry and din In writing the story I've got. His fingers will nevermore clatter the keys; His life and his stories are done. Those stories are brisk as the keen western breeze? Another will take up his run, Another will cover tne assignments he had; He's gone, but the world mustn't lose Its tales of the sad end and the bad and the glad? Its regular quota of news. A newspaper man's always moving about. He seldom stays long in a place; And yet when he leaves, why, you haven't a doubt That you'll see him again face to face: But this?well, it's different; this is the end.

I ANSWER SENT TO GERMANY i FINAL WARNING IN NEW NOTE FROM UNITED STATES. li Next Violation Will Be Considered a "Deliberately Unfriendly" Act. t Final Word From U. S. j ii Washington, July 23.?The Ameri- s can note on submarine warfare, pre- f sented at Berlin today by Ambassa- d dor Gerard, was made public here to- n night. It reveals that Germany has u been informed it is the intention of ii the United States to regard as "de- b liberately unfriendly" any repetition n by German naval commanders of acts ii in contravention of American rights, p The United States announces it will p continue to contend for the freedom c of the seas, "from whatever quarter v violated, without compromise and at a any cost." v In official and diplomatic quarters a the communication was viewed as the n strongest and most emphatic pro- h nouncement by the Washington gov- e ernment since the beginning of its n correspondence with the European belligerents. e President Wilson returned to Cor- y nish, N. H., tonight. c Expects Disavowal and Reparation. c On the assumpton that Germany c already has admitted the illegality of her practices by attempting to justify 1 them as retaliatory moves against 0 Great Britain, the United States ex- c presses the belief that Germany no p longer will "refrain from disavowing n the wanton act of its naval comman- \ der in sinking the Lusitania, or from J offering reparation for the American 1 lives lost, so far as reparation can be ^ made for needless destruction of hu- ^ man life by an illegal act." Referring to the German expres- * sion of hope in its last note that the s freedom of the seas may be estab- b lished in some measure before the 11 end of the war, the United States de- 1 clares this object can be accomplish- ^ ed, and invites the practical cooperation of Germany. The American gov- 1! ernment adds, moreover, that it 11 holds itself ready at any time to act r as the common friend who may be h privileged to suggest a way" to as- 1 sist in establishing the freedom of 1 the setts. n The German note of July 8 is de- s clared "very unsatisfactory because ^ it fails to meet the real differences j1 between the two governments, and in- 1! dicates no way in which the accepted 1 principles of laws and humanity may c be applied in the grave matter in con- b troversy, but proposes, on the contrary, arrangements for a partial sus- ^ pension of those principles which vir- 1 tually set them aside." s Contending that "the defence of an c act as retaliatory is an admission that it is illegal." the United States ' then argues that it cannot discuss 1 actions of Great Britain with Ger- 1 many, and it regards as "irrelevant v in the present negotiations mention 0 of the conduct of other belligerents." s Indefensible Against Neutrals. "Illegal and inhuman acts," says a the note, however justifiable thev a may be thought against an enemy who is believed to have acted in con- ? C travention of law and humanity, are " manifestly indefensible when they deprive neutrals of their acknowledged 1 1 n*.1,. ii'Vion tViov vlnlatp ? I1?111S>, paiuwuianj tw uvu . the right of life itself." Pointing out that a belligerent should give up its retaliation measures if unable to conduct them "without injuring the lives of neutrals," the note declares that persistence in such measures under the circumstances would constitute an unpardonable offence against the sovereignty of the neutral nation affected. The United States, it is asserted further, "is not unmindful of the extraordinary conditions" created by the present war and "is ready to make every reasonable allowance for these novel and unexpected aspects of war at sea," but cannot consen! "to any essential or fundamental right of its people because of a mere alteration of circumstances." The note says that events of the past two months clearly indicate that it is "possible and practicable" to conduct s"bmarine operations "in substantial accord with the accepted practices of regulated warfare." The comment is added that the "whole world has looked with interest and increasing satisfaction" at the demonstration of this fact by German naval commanders, and that it is "manifestly possible to lift the whole practice of submarine attack above the criticism which it has aroused and remove the chief causes of offence."

The I'nion Times publishes the folowing as its leading editorial: I do not feel shivers up and down he spine because of the manifest iniicf tOA aff on Art a t a looif imot a I USL1LC wvv UllUlI UU11C IV icglliiwacc, iivested capital; for I believe that uch injustices will prove their own oily, and thus work out a better conation. 1 feel sure that the great najority of the people need but to nderstand the facts and understandag them will deal fairly. The troule has been that for some 30 years ow, newspapers, magazines, politicins and would-be reformers have so ersistently cried out against cororations that the average man has ome to think that a corporation Is ,-orse than a "highland moccasin," nd should be smitten to death. The ery word "corporation" has become "stench in the nostrils" of the vast lajority of our people. This hatred 5 manifested at every political gathring; it is most clearly shown in allost every court. The corporation has become the asy mark of the "damagl suit" lawer. One has but to attend civil ourt anywhere in the State to be onvinced of this attitude toward the orporation. Cases, that if brought gainst an individual would be hrown out of court, are seriously onsidered when the defendant is a orporation, and frequently the cororation is mercilessly bled. I am ot questioning the right to make he corporation pay when the case is ust. But it often happens that jusire violated T have reached the eliberate conclusion that a man is uite much of a fool to, at this time, nvest money in a corporation: and hat many others have reached the ame conclusion, is, I believe, at the ottom of the abnormal stringency in ooney matters. I believe this attiude of the public mind has more to o with "hard times" than does the ow price of cotton. Men are becomng more and more afraid to invest in acorporated enterprises. This natually causes "tight money." We ave few individuals who have capiat sufficient to launch an enterprise, 'o have many individuals put their aoney together is often the only posible way to launch an enterprise. V'hen such an enterprise is started t is too often mercilessly bled. That 3 the reason that the "small man," he man with limited capital, has ome to be slow to invest. I do notj lame him. J There is another phase of this subect that frequently escapes notice, ncorporated capital is open to inpection. It is held to strict acountability. Laws have multiplied regulating nvested capital. It cannot escape axation. It has come to be a fact hat such working capital, capital inolved in carrying on the industries >t the country, comes in for a larger hare of taxes than is just. Take ?ur banks for an illustration. They .re constantly held to strict account.bilitv bv State and federal governments. They are harassed by requir>d reports; they are taxed heavily, lo soon as the State tax commission s created for the purpose of equalizng taxation, the commission makes i dive for the banks. They were aieady required under the federal aws to pay income tax, not only up>n net earnings, but upon every dolar of dividends paid to stockholders. And they are now the very irst mark of the tax commission. "Cot one movement to get at the manfest injustice in returns made by arge landed estates. Not one move :o get at the private capital often oaned at 10 or 12 per cent. The :orporation, the legitimate prey of ill reformers and of the public in general, must needs be attacked first hing. I may be mistaken, but I have tome to the conclusion that legitimate. invested capital in this State s well nigh doomed. The present opjression put upon honestly invested money puts it in an impossible eomjetition with private capital. It may lot be the popular thing to write an irticle like the above, but when an editor reaches an honest conclusion, ie is a coward if he does not express t. What this country needs is less 'taffy" and more sane thinking. The newspaper owes a debt to its constituents. One obligation is that of being honest. I shall write more along this line.

Met l>eath on Guillotine 122 Years jN Ago. i During the French revolution, j among those who had placed faith in;iE Girondists and their ideals was a ** young woman of noble birth of Nor- 01 mandy, Charlotte Corday. When the A mob of Paris rose and drove with in- M suit from the convention those who, te in her eves, were tne heroic defenders of the universal principles of sa truth and justice, she bitterly resent- w ed the wrong that had been done, not fe only to the men themselves, but to that France of which she regarded them as the true representatives. Owing to Marat's persistent cry forjbi a dictatorship and for shedding ofjhi blood, it was he wbo, in the depart- N ments. was accounted especially responsible both for expulsion of the Girondists and for the tyranny which now began to weigh so heavily upon the whole country as it had long g? weighed upon the capital. t Incapable as all then were of com- . je prehending the causes which had brought about the fall of the Girondists, Charlotte Corday imagined that g. by putting an end to this man's life she could also put an end to the system of government which he advocat- ^ ed. Informing her friends that she wished to visit England, she left Caen P' ui and travelled in the diligence to Paris. On her arrival she purchased a knife, and afterward obtained en- P< trance into Marat's nouse on the pretext that she brought news which she desired to communicate to him. She knew that he would be eager to ob- ^ tain intelligence of the movements of the Girondists deputies still in Normandy. rt Marat was ill at the time, and in a bath when Charlotte Corday was ad- ^ mitted. She gave him the names of the deputies who were at Caen. "In a few days," he said, as he wrote them hastily down. "I will have them all guillotined in Paris." As she heard those words she' 61 plunged the knife into his body and j killed him on the spot. The cry ut-! tered by the murdered man was i heard, and Charlotte, who did not: * r< attempt to escape, was captured and ^ conveyed to prison amid the mur- _ murs of an angry mob. It had been. j ? from the first, her intention to sacri-J fice her life for the cause of her coun- jr try, and, glorified in her deed,'she, mei aeam who siuiuai luuiuereme. I She was guillotined July 17, 1793. [ "I killed one man," she said when' brought before the Revolutionary 0j court, "in order to save the lives of b< 100,000 others." n Marat's murder brought about contrary results to those Vhich the wo- m man who ignorantly and rashly had B flung away her life hoped by the sacrifice to efTect. Marat was re- A garded as a martyr by no small por- a. tion of the working population ot tc Paris. TTis murder excited indigna- al tion beyond the comparatively norrow circle of those who took an ac- m tive part in political life, while at the ai same time it added a new impulse to 111 the growing cry for blood.?Washing- 0 ton Post. w i Call on Mack's Drug Store or-W.
