The Russians, who are said to have found a way to make poisonous gasses harmless, have rather the laugh on serman sclentists, who have refused to credit them with being even half civilized.—Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. y America has never waxed enthus- jastic over Mr, James. Perhaps it has ‘never understood him. It has been proud of him in a vague sort of way, never thinking of him as representa- | tive of itself. It is sorry to lose him I in his old age, but the impression pre- vails among the keenes: thinkers that he always belonged to England rather than ‘to the Trepublic within whose houndaries he was born.—Brooklyn Eagle. The principal mischief of the propa- { ganda in behalf of commission gov- ernment has come from its exagger- ated promise of better conditions re- gardless of the men t¢ whom the pub- lic business was intrusted. A con- | siderable body of eleciors has been convinced that under it eternal vigil- ar.ce is not the price of decent govern- ! ment. If Nashville’s experience re- | leases them from this delusion, that | : city’s receivership will not nave been ! | without.substamtial benefit beyond the | bounds of the {6wn.—New York Sun. We are only asking Germany and Great Britain, too, for that matter, to | conduct their naval warfare according | to 'agreed-upon international law and agreed-upon rules of war. Germany ;has taken the lives of the innocent in i Her submarine warfare. - We tell her | that a continuance of that practice, if Americans are killed, will be con- ‘sidered, after the notice given, as “de- liberately unfriendly.” It rcsts with Germany and not with' this country to .hring about consequences by creating | causes.—Watertown Times. One judge overrules another in the matter of the receivership for the city of Nashville, and so the municipality, as a result of inefficient and corrupt commission government, begins the round of the courts. Varfous substi- tutes for self-government have been proposed from time to time, but the | people. who are depending upon the judiciary for improvement and pro- grflls are almost certain to be disap- pointed.

(New London Telegraph.) Now 'is the period when the good old English word, “swelter,” comes i irto fullest appreciation, A moist limp humanity exudes and expostulates under the steamy heat of mid-summer. “TPradition calls it “the dog days.” This is in honor of Sirius, the dox star located for the while in that por- tion of the heavens inmmediately be- hind the sun. Sirius is immensely alrger and more poent than our sun. But it is so far away, billionis upon billions of miles that it can have only a poetic effect upon our mundane climatolégy. Sirius is overhead of a God of dazzling s: fw fields, and it seems an illogical thing that give the star a zeasonal significance at a time when we do not see it at all. The red star Antares in the middle southern sky these August nights seems to have infinitely juster title to | whatever praise or blame there is to give for the torrid time But stars have nothing to do with it. It's just Old Sol, traveling back from the northern elge of his annusdl pilgramage, compelling us all to ac- knnv\'ledgv that Le’s passing by warm- ing the fields to fruitage as he goes. It's uncomfortable, but we musn mind it, for the corn’s sake. hurts us is essential good for the vegetables. And besides.it needn’t hurt us, if we take respectable care of ourselves. Vacationing is in August, and though it is perspirationing,-too, ! net | most folks would mightly hate to have it, especjally the accompany-, ing moon. For the August moon, no matter.‘what the “dogs have to ela- horate, is a thing one must be grate- ful under, though he mops his hrow | and swelters 'neath the beams. Lotteries and Religion. (Bridgeport Standard.) Philadelphia has always had being slow with other northern cities, approxi- mating {ts size, but changes occur even there with considerable rapidity in some matters “Girard,” in the Philadelphia Ledger, speaks of a list of 153 churches which have disap- peared from the older parts of the city. The march of business has the compared 3 0,000 1913, ‘over $1 .1‘.!20 740, a 19, 7000 0 ' from last /'of $138,800 frqm that mports agj . decrease of | year's total | for 1913, | The excess of exports over hnpons “.for the year 1915 was $1,084,452, 792, on my retire- { to me | to | in | January evenings, shining like the eye | we ‘| driven many of these from their old | locations, and a considerable num- ber have been deserted by many of | their old supporters who have moved | away' or have united with others, sometimes as many as three tormm.; a new church in a favorable location. The writer says that “before 1&3 when Ponnsylyania made lotteri - y d o e:h:t ! preted as simply ‘‘pro-British.” | many in particular makes that mis- legal, churches were given to method of raising finds. Old Christ bullt its steeple with the proceeds of a lottery, and Jews, Catholics, Pres- byterians, Baptists and Friends (Quakers) also indulged in lotteries along with the Episcopalians.” As to lotteries, Connecticut has been ! through the same experience, In May 1791, it was voted that, the ferry of two boats across the river and har- bor between Stratford and Fairfiald being inadequate for the travel, town should the Pequonnock river, nearly oppo- site Cannon and Lockwood’s whart,” which Sum exceeded by $428,000,000 the er high record magde inh 1908 and by $623,800, ooo ance for 1’11 June, 1915, expord 599 and exceeded by total for June last vear.” ports were $157,746,140, or less by $216,690 than those for June, 1914, but $26;500,000 more than those for June, 1913, Of the June, 1915, imports 62.94 per cent, entered free of duty, compared with 59.82 per cent. for June, 1914, and 50.88 per cent. for June, 1913. Of ihe yedr's imports 61.73 per cent, were duty free; {n 1914, 5943 per cent. The year’s gold movements included imports, $171,568,755: exports, $146,- 224,148, In 1914 the figures were, im- DOrts, $66,588,659; exports, $112,038,- 629. The month of June, 1915, re- | versed ‘the conditions snown in June last year, while gold exports last month were only $2,821,988, against $48,107,064 in June, 1914. Uncle Sam does not think neutrality should mean the paralysis of Ameri- can manufactures. Jufie fm- The Killing of Our Marines. (Ansonia Sentinel.) The fact that the Haitiens are not partial to our guardianship or to our enforced presence in their midst has been politely brought to our attention ! by the killing of two of our marines by snipers, firing from busi* outside of the city walls. We are persona non grata there and the sooner we reéalize that we are not to be met with oben arms and brass bands but with loaded rifles the better. That regiment, which is going forward as reinforcements, is none too many to preperly control the situation and enforce respect among our unruly wards whose spe- cialty is voodooism and unethical kill- ing. We are likely to stay in Haiti for some time, for just so long as she is inclihed to kick over the traces and resent ouf efforts to make her act in & civilized and decent manner. It is impossible to make the average Hai- tien understand the responsibilities and duties that devolve upon a civi- lized government but at least we can teach them, so forcibly that the idea will stick in their, minds, that tar- ®et” practice at Americans and for- eigner is about the most deadly amusement that Haitiens can indulge in. A Bryan OChicken. (New London Day.) The nature of the trouble that will be encountered in Haiti is political | rather than physical. It will not be a | task of great magnitude for the Unit- ed States tao establish and maintain order in that country, despite its sav- age history. The Haitians are too in- ferior a people to be capable of re- sisting the kind of control that this government will naturally create there and the problem, so far as handling {'them is concerned, is vastly less than | in the Philippines or even in Cuba. The difficulty lies. in bossing Haiti as it should be bossed and at the same time " satisfying various European countries, notably France, that their interests will be properly served by an American protectorate. This dif- ficulty will be less if in some way a treaty is patched up with the Hai- tiens themselves giving the United States the same administrative rights as are exercised in the ather part of the island, the Dominican republic. Tt is rather unfortunate that the partly educated natives who take turns in | exploiting the distressed populace of Haiti will be able to point with not a little show of sense to the career of Minister Sullivan in' the . Dominican | state as a substantial reason why their country should not make such an agreement. If there is more puzzle- ment over Haiti than' there should be it will be because one of Mr. Bryan's chickens has come home to roost. America Pro-French. (Togrington Register.) There seems to be a general mis- conception abroad as to the sentiments of the American people toward the | various belligerents. The prevalent “pro-Ally” feeling is wrongly inter- Ger= take. It would be far nearer the truth to say that American sentiment is “pro-French.” Of all the great pow- ers engaged in this war, none has so Won the hearts of Americans as has France. We are, of course, more than with any other consideration whatever. But when it comes to na- | tions that are playing biz parts in the | “build a bridge acroes | and in the same mon!h ‘the Legisla- | ture gave authority to ker of Stratford and other, to tablish a lottery to raise the neeessary to build a bridge -~ across Newfield harbor, etc.” Bridgeport had not been born then, but the first bridge was bullt and it was = khown as the Lottery bridge thereatter. Churches and other public' structures were bullt by lotteries in' the ‘state in these davs and till welt along to- ward the middle of the ninteenth cen- tury. es- Uncle San’s Foreign Trade. The last fiscal year has been very successful in the wayv of foreign trade, and the balance in our ravor is pleus- ing. In exports of domestic products, in nggrente value of foreign trade, and in favorable balance of trade the TUnited States made a new nigh record in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915, Figyres made public by the depart- ment of commerce show that imports and exports combined totaled $4,442,- 684,272, an increase of $154,000,000 over 1914 and of $164,000,000 ° over 1913, the prior high record year in total trade. Exports in 1915 totaled $2,768,643,- 632, an increase of $404,000,000 over. “Robert ‘Wal- | funde- | | frained from the struggle, most Americans feel that their hearts. go out.-in . affectionate sympathy and hope to the French re- public. ~ Lord Northcliffe, the great English newspaper publisher, was wrong when he said the efforts of France “are insufficiently appreciat- ed in the United States. Americans know how the French people have buckled down ‘to their tragic task, and are fighting for their national liberties without a murmur, with absolute seif-devotion and ' a calmness and efficiency that we, at least, never expected of the Gallic temperament. Their behavior has been incomparably more admirable than that of the English people. Their military efforts have been more effective. Their industrial machinery has worked more smoothly. They have influenced us not by waords, but by deeds. They have re- publicity campaigns. They have taken for granted the in- telligence of the outside world. Their very silence has been more powerful than all the heated propaganda of German and English partisans. A Good Suggester. (Bridgeport Telegram.) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has offered the British government a suggestion that the soldiers at the front be equip- ped with steel armor. The sugges- tion is brought forth by the: stories of numerous narrow escapes in ob.hcu Gugm use of steel hll‘lfl.\uvwm to be pushed in front of i.flllllll‘ parties, ! This last ‘idea is' not at all imprac (" ficable—in fact, military practice al- . eady pre it to a certain extent in. armored machine guns. light field artillery ‘amd armored automobiles | and aeroplanes, in all of which the | operators @re .protected by a light ehield against rifie fire, though not protectefl gainst artillery fre. In any case, the British ‘govern- ment Weuld de-well to listen to any suggestions coming from the author of Sherlock Homes. At the . begin- ning of the war he wrote a story about an imaginary kingdom which whaled England to combat by the use of submarines directed against England®s merchant marine. A few months Jater Admiral von Tirpitz an- nounced (without proper credit to the author) that he was going to carry out thg jdea. Ever since then Sir Arthur ‘has been persona non grata with the British public, but hie ideas are looked upon with a great deal more respect. No Longer the “Wild” West. (Meriden Record.) Winfield, Kansas, has been awarded a state prize of $1,000 for cities of that state best meeting the following conditions: 1. Opportunities for play and ath- letics. ) 2. School training. 3. Social and ties. 4. Physical and moral safeguards. 5. Activities of child fostering elubs and societies. 6. Attendance at Sunday and kindred organizations. There is not so much talk of the “effete east” and the “wild west” as a few years ago when these terms were intercHanged with a great de- gree of frequency and sarcasm. Time has healed many of the ani- masities felt between the two sections of the country and yet ah oceasional little item® like the above is a sort wark and industrial recreational activi- school of eve opener to the smug, self sat- isfied individual in the east who has not. kept tabs on the trend of events in the west and i not equal to the thought of a. western town proving superior to an eastern town in those things which supposedly go to make up an idgal Eommunity. It is a safe guess that there are| many people who never heard of Win- fleld, Kansas, and vet this city meas- ures up to a standard in a competi- tion which places it in foreranks of progressive communities. All_those.’ conditions outlined in the prize offer for Kansas are signs of up to date- ness and are another evidence of that kind of hustle which aécounts for the growth in the west which has frequently been the envy of the east. Practical Shoe Styles Win, (Waterbury Republican.) k Doom of th rbread” shoe— the side and shoe of odd color for women pronounced at a conference of tl ur largeést asso- ciations of boot an 0e men recently held in New Yark. Incidentaily the prices for all shoes will be advanced in the ‘coming season. ' Women's shoes are to be quite plaifibut pret- ty. The toes will be mediam, the vamp . medium and the heels the same as this season. The vamp will be of dull gun metal, leather, shiny leather and kid All will be black. The uppers are to be of cloth, and to be proper in style the cloth must be black. Shoes may be laced! or button, but the lacing will be in front. There are to be none of the “‘gingerbread” perforations and other dcorations such as are on the shoes now being worn. Reports from all over the country indicated that only one in every five women purchased a pair of the recent makes of freak shoes, and the members of the asso- clation have decided to return to the normal styles and lines of shoes. Men's shoes are to remain such as they are, conmservative in design and either black or tan. One's comfort is somewhat more likely to be affected by changes in the styles of shoes than, K by changes in the styles of other garments and it is doubtless because of this that the attempt to put freak shoe styles on the market has been such a failure. If folks were as practical in their ac- ceptance or rejection of other styles the cost of living might be consider- ably less anerous and the joy of being well dressed considerably more evenly distributed in the human family. “Stones Of Venice” (Minneapolis Journal.) Louvain was beautiful and dear to the hearts of Catholicse the world over. The Rheims cathedral was his- toric, and to France what Westmin- ster is to England. But Venice is art, romance, splendor, glory, history, poetry, all in one. The chance of war that should shatter St. Mark’s ar the Doge’s palace, that should destroy the Rialto and filll in the Grand Canal with ruin, would never be forgiven. It would constitute the supreme infamy, would rank with the burning of the library of Alexan- dria, the sack of Rome by Alaric. The infamy would endure through ages to come. The name of its perpetrator would be a hissing and reproach, a synonym for monstrosity. John Ruskin's “Stones of Venice" may yet become a work of archeol- OBY. Who Edits the Magazine?
