But it was for Edward Johnson to do all this: no one else. It mattered not if Edward was the father of one hundred children in- siead of the twenty-eight which right- fully belong to him, no one should have gone and told on him. And then again: Was it any crime Mr. Johnson committed, this playing paterfamilias to a family of twenty-eight? Shades of Roosevelt, No! So there was an innocent man driven to look for surcease of sorrow in the flowing bowl because, as he puts it: “Somebody must have told.” Shame on some- body. Fie on somebody for telling. Yet, where is the person who cannot say: “Somebody must have told on me?” GRATITUDE, Because two thousand American citizens whom Uncle Sam helped out of a predicament have failed to make reimbursement for money advanced them when the European war was in its infancy, the Treasury Department is now preparing to place in the hands of a collection agency their names and accounts. It is to be de- plored that there are so many dis- honest nephews and nieces dear old Uncle Sam, and the majority of good Americans hope that the govern- ment officials with the aid of the professional collectors will be able to bring these ‘‘pan-handlers” to bay. In many cases, of course, payment is al- most impossible as some of those who were stranded in Europe at the out- break of the war and who had to call for government funds were in sore straights. But that there was a great ‘deal of getting money under false pretenses, without even an idea of paying it back, is evinced from the fact that more than a thousand fic- titious names and addresses given to our consuls abroad. When the government officials paid their party calls last week in the hope of getting back some of Uncle $2,000,000 relief fund, they were greeted in many cases by barren spots of terra firma,—vacant lots. Other beneficiaries were never heard of at the addresses they gave. Even if the national treasury never gets back one-half of what it gave in thig work of philanthropy a goodly sum should be spent in bringing the de- frauders to justice, if they can be found.” ' There is no word in the English language that characterizes the persons who, as most of these rob- bers have done, bite the hand that feeds them. of were Sam's DEFEAT OF SUFFRAGE IN EAST. “Bast is Fast and West is West and never the twain shall meet.” At least for the present that holds true. We FACTS AND FANCIES. There are many male suffragists in ¢, but he who takes the palm ency is the laundryman who displays “Votes for women” in h window and irons shirts inside.—New York Herald. Bishop David H. Moore of the Methodist Episcopal Church favors a woman for president, and says Jane Addams is equipped for the pres dency. Opinions may differ as to that, but it seems certain that Miss Addams will be thoroughly equipped by the time she is elected president.—New York World. Ex-President Taft, in his speech at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, ex- pressed doubts as to whether half a million men could be raised for the army without conscription even early in a war. Mr. Bryan, on the con- trary, thinks a million men could be raised in a day. The truth probably lies between these extremes. But if Mr. Taft is anywhere near right in his estimate, Americans must stop criticising England, which has already put more than 3,000,000 men in the fleld without conscription and is daily World. All the evidence tends to the con- clusion that a relatively small minor- ity (of women) desire the ballot, a much smaller one malke an intelligent use of it and the greater number using it act under influences not favorable to public benefit. It would be well if before suffrage was granted to women in any state the question could in some way be submitted to their own judgment, and all qualified by citizenship and age could be in- duced to pronounce upon it. At pr nt the evidence is decidedly against it, the thoughtful and silent largely outnumbering the aggressive and vociferous.—New York Journal of Commerce. Perhaps the worst mistake that the suffragists made in their campaign in New Jersey was to antagonize the men. From the beginning the suf- frage enthusiasts themselves, as well as the newspapers and the male speakers who aimed to help the cause, took the position that every man and every interest that were op- posed to equal suffrage were in some way identified with evil influences. The whole propaganda seemed to have been lined up on the principle that the male voters were made up of two classes—honorable men and dishonor- able men, the former being practically without exception in favor of woman suffrage and the latter being almost to a man opposed to the cause.—Pater- son Press-Guardian.

Having practically conquered the West, the suffrage leaders recently turned their attention to the old timers of the union, to New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts and Penn- sylvania. New Jersey was the first state to give its verdict and it did so in no uncertain terms. It would have naught of woman suffrage. The time was not ripe when New Jersey- jties would burden lovely woman with a vote. And, having been dealt a staggering blow in New Jersey the leaders of the “cause” forthwith went into the other three commonwealths resolved to do or die. And they have died,—not ignominiously, but nobly. They have gone down to defeat in the old Bay State, in the Empire State and in the Keystone State. With the over- whelming defeat of suffrage in these four states aformentioned there can e no doubt thas the East has not as yet met the West, that they do things different here in the so-called effete part of the country than they do in the wild and wooley. Suffrage hav- ing been trounced in the East must hie itself back to the West for even in the chivilrous South it is not want- ed. But the women need not be ter- ribly discouraged. They have shown the wonderful spirit of persistence that is characteristic of their sex, and, by that token they should triumph in the long run. They have done this, they have. taken the question woman suffrage from the plane of jckedom and elevated it to the dig- nity of a national issue. It is be- cause of that that the states in this Union may someday unite in giving woman, lovely woman, the privilege of the franchise. Results show that in this state wo- men refuse to accept the obligation which at their request or upon their apparent acquiescence has been im- posed upon them, or to discharge the resulting duties. The question, then, for the people of other states to de- cide in the light of the experience of the western states is whether it is in the public interest to impose on- wo- men imperative duties which the great majority of women refuse to discharge after they have been imposed upon them.—San Francisco Chronicle. i E of | Once 1 saw, As I held three deuces at a little green table, A king full, and a flush And a straight, and they told me to stay out till I had something.

War Songs. (Philadelphia Inquirer.) The death in Boston the other day of Luther O. Emerson, the song and hymn writer, recalls the interesting fact that he was author of the famous Civil war song, “We Are Coming, ¥ather Abraham,” which is said Lo have been of great help to President | Lincoln in his calls for volunteers. It was inspiring and carried with it the note of victory which counts for S0 much when there is a wavering in | the hearts and minds of the most ' loyal: In its way this war song did | as much for the union cause as “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” did in the free- ing of the slaves. A wise person of the past once said that he did not care who made the laws of his country if he couldbe allowed to write the songs. There is ne doubt of the power that popular songs have over thé imagination and the feelings of men, especially in | times of national peril. Every war produces its crop of this kind, and if the air happens to be this kind, and "lf‘hy it lives long after the event which inspired it has passed into | history. The Civil war was especially pro- lific in the sort of songs that appealed | 0 the multitude. The . composition might have been crude and the tech- nique faulty in some instances, but as long as they contained the proper sentiment and went with a swing, the people, and especially the sol- diers on the tented field were quick to accept them. In the beginning of the war between the section the Con- federates were singing “‘Dixie’” ‘the \nionists the ‘‘Star-Spangled Banner” but later, and even after the war, we had ‘“John Brown's Body,” “Tenting on the Old Camp Ground” and “When Johnny Comes Marching | Home.” . At the outset of the European war the soldiers among the allies much comfort and satisfaction from “Tipperary,” now replaced in some quarters by ‘“Onward, Christlan Sol- diers.” A study of war songs, past and pres- ent, as exceedingly interesting, es- pecially when considered from the standpoint of their psychological ef- fect. Clark and Wilson. (From the Washington Star.) Champ Clark at the White House will be of service to the president and to the democratic party. He knows politics had He has no selfish ends to serve. He concedes Mr. Wilson's renomination, and will, of course, contribute all in his power toward Mr. Wilson’s re- election Mr. Clark could be of more service if his party had not stripped the speakership of its rightful import- ance. In the last two houses his duties were simply those of a presid- ing officer. In the new house they will probably be no greater. A man of his ability exercising in the speak- er’s chair the influence that Mr. Can- | non exercised there could be of great assistance in the handling of a legis- lative programme as comprehensive and difficult as the one now confront- ing the democracy, But even without that influence, with only the gavel in hand and the duty of putting and deciding parlia- mentary questions to discharge, Mr. Clark should yet be a tower of strength to the president in the party business that will come before . tho house. No better counsel is available to the president. How rapid and radical sometimes are the shifts of politics! But for Mr. Bryan's course at Baltimore, Mr Clark would now be president. The convention bore a Clark complexion, and was headed for a Clark result. But Mr, Bryan interposed, and Mr. Wilson was nominated. Naturally, Mr, Bryan was made the premier of the administration he had brought in. It was but his due. He had much to say, and Mr. Clark practically nothing at all. The latter did not sulk bhut attended stricfly to nis own affairs. ‘With the administration but lttle more than halfway through its allott- ed term. Mr. Bryan has passed out, and Mr, Clark now by invitation has come in, as a presidential adviser. But more than that Mr, Bryan has gone into open opposition to the president on a most important policy —preparedness—while Mr. Clark will ! assist with the putting of that policy into the proper shape. In the circumstances the president has gained by the change. What he most needs now is advice and assis- tance for his legislative programe; and as a judge of a legislative situa- tion, and how to deal with it on the eve of a presidential campaign, Mr. Clark ranks Mr. Bryan, and, for that matter, nearly every other member of the democratic party. School Fire Drills. (Meriden Journal.) That awful affair at Peabody, Mass., when twenty-one school children losb their lives in a fire, again demon- strates th tremendous value "of the fire drill. If those pupils and those teachers had been perfected in their | fire drills such a terrible loss of life | could not have occurred, for trating | i and instinct would have made them do what they were taught, Here in Meriden we have the fire drill pretty well perfected and we are certain that in the event of an alarm that any or all of our buildings would be emptied in record time. There drills arc being held constantly and none of the pupils has any idea when an alarm is to be sounded. Every drill thus far held has been in perfect order and every building emptied in wonderfully short time. The mayor paid a visit of inspec- tion to the schools a short time ago , and these fire drills were made. Even and | got | thoroughly, and has | large experience as a legislator. | " Toast | she had not abbreviated “it | would have said | These shore-cut phrases are the cause the other structures the time was much less. The North Colony street school, one of the worst of them ali, was emptied in thirty seconds. These things prove the value of the fire drill and because they are held frequently and because the pupils | do not know when they are coming the Meriden schools cannot have any such holocaust as that which took place this week in the Massachusetis town. The Letter “R.” (Indianapolis News.) There are two words in the Ameri- can language, the pronunciation of which, together with their endearing d'minutives, will determine the part of the country the user thereof may hail from. For a considerable number of years the expatriation of the letter ‘r,” which began in the Sunny South and soon extended to the Northern Atlantic states, has been spreading over the nation, and has even made progress in the Middle West, where the spoken word is uttered with a vigor and freedom that is not accord- ed in the civilizations of which Boston snd New York are the centers. The letter “r” from the cultured circles of these two great districts is almost as complete an exile as from the Chinese language. The Massachusetts col- legette says very prettily, but also | very inaccurately, fa-athah and Ma- atha, which is even going somewhat 10 ore strongly than in Virginia, where the “r is dropped with less ostenta- tion. Through TIndiana, Illinois and Iowa, travelers say, the popular terms for father and mother continue to be, as in the days of the early settlers, “pop’" and “mom,” and poppa’” and momma,” These terms are used by the daughters of the household, while the sturdy egons continue to pronounce the terms ‘dad” and “mam.” The Southern girl pronounces the word “pa’” in a way that no Northern girl can imitate, no matter how much time and thought she may give to the attempt. By means of her pronuncia- | tion of this word the girl from the South at once is differentiated from all other sections. Her word for “pa” is rot exactly ‘pay,” but about halfway etween that and the sound of “a’ in at.” But it is to the young ladles of New England that we owe the innocuous desuetude of the letter “r’” in many parts of this country. Their influence has extended, having been brought away from summer seaside and moun- tain resorts by visitors who admired 2nd imitated. A few days ago a young lady of this city, who had returned from the East, tald gne of her friends | that she was going to give a little af- ternoon party and a part of the decorations would be “hops,” which she would trim with autumn leaves. “Hops!” exclaimed the friends, “your mamma, is such a prohibitionist she will never stand for that.’”” *T did not say ‘hops,’ " said the girl from the “T said h w-p-&, muscial em- , don’t you know.” Tt's Me. (Ohio State Journal.) Two young ladics passed by and one said to the other, “he thinks it's me who told it.”” In all probability, if is” she “I” instead of me. of much incorrect speech. If a person would quit his don’ts, his isn'ts, his ain’ts, his can’ts, etc.,, and use the words which they push aside it would improve his grammar. It might slow down hig speech, but that itself would be a blessing. Slow speech, that does not drawl, is a virtue. Rapid speech is a nuisance. There is neither soul nor sense to it. While we are simplifying spelling, let us simplify speech. There is no sense in conveying a fagt or truth, to make short work of it. The very ut- terance has much to do with its sig- nificance. A thing that is told swiftly goes. If you would make an impres- sion, talk as if you meant it. One cannot be forcible and ungrammatical at the same time. A truth conveyed in disgruntled words and phrases loses half its force on its way. An un- doubted sign of a shallow mind is the English question, “doncher know;" and there are Americanisms just as Pad. So the best thing is not to cir- cumvent grammatical accuracy, which most of us unhappily have a habit of doing. e Life in Rural Kentucky. (Central City Argus.) 'Possums are said to be plentiful in the bottoms at present. Hoker Clark and friends captured six in one night last week, (Mt. Oliet Tribune-Democrat.) The largest ground hog that has ever been caught hereabouts was “treed” by the two small dogs of J. D. Curtis and son, Claudie, Sunday. A fierce fight took place between the ground hog and the dogs, but the ground hog was too much the strong- er and Mr. Curtis had to kill his hogship. It was of unusual size and weighed 17 pounds. (Cadiz Record.) W. M. Puckett, who works Judge Shaw on the Hillman farm, near Trigg Furnace, caught a large bull snake in one of the troughs of the stable while feeding last Sunday afternoon. The snake measured 5 1-2 | feet long and as big around as your wrist. It was trying to swallow an | artificial hen egg, which Judge Shaw | for | had placed in a hen’s nest, when Mr. Puckett discovered him, and he suc- ceeded tn getting a string around the | snake's neck while he was thus en- | gaged. | 11 head. but we did nqt learn in the big High school the building was cleared in a minute and most of (Glasgow Republican.)

Pantalettes. (Meriden Journal.) Our grandmothers wore ’'em. why the fuss over 'em now? These new ones, of silver, etc., with lots of lace dugums on 'em, are some lookers, believe us. We have a friend whose eyes went back on him so that he could hard- ly see a golf ball lying on ground before him. Lately he attended a country club dance where several girls wore pan- talettes, and now he has a job as o proofreader. The fad is a passing one. They won't be worn much longer. If they are, they'll be step on. So A Fable of Re-Marriage (New Republic.) Once upon a time I knew an old man who was president of a smallish railroad. For years it had been his policy and his pride to fill vacancies among the general officers by promo- tion. Other railroads, he used to se are welcome to get their execulives by looking the country over and brib- ing stars out of their orbits, Our own | boys he used to say, are good enough for us. Only once had Mr. Bolton | made a considerable mistake. His general manager, as every one admitt- | ed, was a failure. Every one rejoiced decently when this general manager died, and every one assumed that the place would be filled by the general superintendent. There was much to Justify the assumption. Mr. Franklin had begun as a telegrapher and work- ed his way upward. Throughout his career he had had Mr. Bolton's ap- probation. He was competent, Indus- trious, straightforward, Great was our surprise when he was passed over and an outsider ap- pointed, despite the almost unanl- mous protests of the directors. Several Years later I found out Mr. Bolton's motive. Mr. Franklin, just before the vacancy occurred, had married his second wife less than a year after his first wife's death. Did such an act lessen his qualifications for the gen- eral manager's job? Of course not, but Mr. Bolton had his prejudice. The fiery old man would not listen to reason. He had his own standards of loyalty. And he had lived up to them, His first wife hag been dead seven years before he married a second. His second had been dead five years before he married third.

Major Alfred Drevfus is now in command of one of the forts protecting Paris. Twenty- one years ago Dreyfus, then in the French army, was t court-martialed on the charge communicating important military documents to a forelgn government— that of Germany—and was found gullty and sentenced to public degra- dation and life imprisonment. The Dreyfus cate was one of the most celebrated of its kind, and convulsed France from center to circumference. The fight to vindicate Dreyfus, who had been imprisoned on Devil's Island after the unfortunate officer had gone through years of suffering, finally ended in complete success, though the matter Involved agitation extend- ing through the terms of office of six cabinets, three presidents and nine ministers of war. Ultimately Dreyfus was restored to the army, and taere is no doubt that, despite his harsh ex- periences in Paris, he would, in case of attack, prove himself one of the most gallant and loyal defenders of the French capital.

Bishop O'Don- nell, who its kept constantly informed by Redmond and was in especially close touch with him in the closing days of the home rule fight, brought forward a comment that Trish unity at home and valor abroad had produced an entire change of heart toward home rule among the English and even among he Irish opponents of the measure. He makes the valuable and fruitfyl suggestion {hat when the amending bill is introduced it should not take the form of djviding Ireland, but of broadening the powers of the Irish parliament.
