TIIK DAILY CAI'lTAL JOl'KNAL It enlf aewapaptr In Ruins trboa rlmilitlnn la (uarantM bf tn Audit Unreaa of Urrulatluna HAYWOOD AT END OF HIS STRING. Bill Haywood, whose life has been spent among criminals, of whom he has generally been a leader, got what was coming to him yesterday when Federal Judge Landis sentenced him to serve twenty years in the federal prison at Leavenworth, and to pay a fine of $20,000. Four teen of the higher-ups tried and found guilty with him were given exactly similar sentences. There is but one drawback to the matter and that is ihe American system of jurisprudence especially criminal jurisprudence under v. ih sharp attorneys, tne time between me con J criminals and their beginning the serving of 'tences is such that the guilty have a splendid f dying of old age k'fore the prison doors can ; hem.

The settlement of the border troubles at Nogales amicably shows Carranza and his military leaders are getting wise. The action of General Callcs in sending regular Mexican troops to control the Mexican civilians was sensible, and timely, indicating tluit the Mexican gov ernment is awaking to the fact that the United States in stead of being her enemy and having designs on her ter ritory, is really her most sincere and disinterested friend. General dalles' action in disarming the drunken civilian element assures a stopping of the Mexican habit of snip ing across the border just for the fun of it. The deter mined ttand taken by the American general when he said "if there was any more firing he would send American troops across the' border," may have had something to do with Mexico's prompt action. The r ituation has changed greatly since the chase after Villa, when the Mexican government and people were alike hostile toward all Americans. The preparation this country is making for fighting the kaiser is an object lesm n to all such as have heretofore belittled the United States. The Mexican edit ors who recently visited this country can tell their people something of this, but to be thoroughly understood the work being done should be seen and realized from contact with it. Education along this line is to be extended to Switzerland from which little republic a delegation is coming to get first hand evidence of what we are doing. The members of that delegation will be able to throw some light on the situation for the benefit of their German neighbors. There are signs of life along the Italian front again, hit it is not likely much fighting will be done. A drive would cost dearly in Italian lives, and Austria is apparent ly quite willing to let things remain as they are so long as Germany will permit her to do so. Austrian troops ere far from being anxious to pull the German chestnuts out of the fire, for they are Wginnim to realize a German victory means the 'absorption of the dual empire, one half of whose population is really anti-German. craft. The kaiser has told them that any act of this kind would be considered "unfriendly" and might result in severing the "friendly relations" existing between the countries. As the kaiser's idea of friendship seems to be the privilege of sinking his friends vessels, it would. seem the sooner such friendly relations were severed the better for the kaiser's "friends." The Prussian leaders have changed their opinion con cerning the fighting qualities of the American soldiers whom they spoke so contemptuously about less than year ago, and now where the Americans hold a sector, there can be found the pick of the G- rman troops selected to meet them. This is the highest compliment the German militarists could possibly have paid the American soldiers. Honduras and Nicaragua that were about to go to fighting each other over a dispute about the boundary line between the countries have agreed to submit their dis pute to arbitration and have selected good old Uncle Sam to do the right thing between them. Spain had already passed on the question, but Honduras was dissatisfied saying she did not get fair treatment .r It will not do to become too optimistic about an early peace. It is possible of course, but we want to keep right on with our preparations to conquer the kaiser as though it would take four years more. Optimism will lead to a weakening of our efforts and will have a bad effect on the coming liberty loan. Ukraine peasants have turned against the Huns to some purpose anil are scrapping them at every opportun ity. Recently 1,200 of them attacked a German force and whipped it. The peasants had ten machine guns and ap parently knew how to do the most good with them. The man-power bill was ready htt night to be passed up to the president and will" perhaps receive his signa ture today. This means two and a half millions more at least that Germany must settle with. Rippling Rhymes j I by Walt Mason ; - SEPTEMBER COMING. LADD OUSH, Bankers ALL THE THIRD LIBERTY BONDS ARE NOW HERE. THOSE INTERESTED PLEASE CALL AT THE BANK September, genial, mild and calm, is coming, like a soothing balm. Perhaps, regardless of the cost, she'll bring along an early frost, and that will swat more kinds of flies than man can swat, howe'er he tries. But if she doesn't bring that boon she'll soothe our spirits nrrttv (soon; she'll heal, with breezes cool and sweet, our chig- gir wounus ami pnckiy neat. September comes, so don't despond, but save the coin to buy a bond; the fourth big war loan will appear before October's dawn is here, and in the crisp September air we surelv mirht tn do nnr sh.-.i-P. j Jor then we're full of pep and snap, and fit for frolic or for scrap, and we can hustle up the mon, and look upon the Stuntasfun. The summer is a long ordeal; like false alarms all people feel; they're wilted and they're aU.run down; ah, then it's hard to chase through town to rustle scads for any cause, however good it is or was. But in ; September, when the breeze puts ginger in our spines I .ami Knees, ana makes us leel like jvarlmg colts, exertion brings no jars and jolts. And we can dig up many bones, and welcome Uncle Sam. his loans, und start th nntnmn feeling right, our consciences all shining bright CHAPTER XX. Ruth's feet were winged as she re turned tome.

"I collected that ten dollars today, Ruth- We'll go to the movies afier dinner!" pleased as a child that he nad ten dollars, and ready to spend it at once altho he had declared they must have cheaper quarters. Kuth waited until they were nearly thru dinner. Then she said: "lxt'a stay home, Brian. I want to have a good talk with you." "My, how serious! well fire ahead.

Suppose you had for months, done some thing that you hated, from which " reeoiled in disgust, and then you founl a way to earn money at something yon enjoyed doing enough to pay someone else for doing the disagreeable work; wouldn't you do itf " "That's different! I'm a man. A woman's place js in the home." "Yes, Brian, under certain circum stances I agree with you. But not as we an; aituatcd. With what I can earn, and what you DO earn, we can keep this flat ad hire a woman to do the work. When I am able to earn mo- which will be soon we can perhaps have more attractive place to live." "Have you thought what niy friend would gay?" "Have you ever thought what MY friends would say, could tley see m cleaning and scrubbing?" she rctaliattd. "Porgive me, Biian," she saw him wince at her words, ' but it is no tiui to mince matters. If I am to be happy, you must let me do his, feeling yo are not opposed to it, otherwise " "You mean you would do it any way!" he interrupted, his face flush ing angrily. "How you must bve me, to want to leave nie before we liav been mariied six months!" "It is becaus,. I love you and wank, to keep that love, that I have done it, Brian. Believe it or not. Come, tm sensible. It will make life easier for us both; and you won't have any more badly cookcfj meals." She talked until long after mid night, but Brian was still uncon vinced.
