Had this theory gone through and we were burdened with it today the best we could get for one.of these pieces of silver would be somewhere near thirty cents, ap- proximately what the Peerless leader and his doctrines are worth today, face value. The American doliar today is about the safest piece of coin in the world. It leads them all. was have A NEW INVENTION. When the poet sung his hymn of despair, ‘“Backward, turn backward, O Time, in thy flight,” little did he dream that a twentieth century jeweller in Kalamazoo would succeed where he failed in making the grim reaper things in Kalamazoo,—many persons and do them but this achieve- | ment of Edward Patrick Foley over- shadows all recent accomplishments. And Foley has done the seemingly im- possible—turning Time back—in a simple manner, thus bearing out the time worn contention that all things seem easy to us after some genius has solved the problem. Foley has invented a left handed watch. In- stead of running from left to right, as the hands do on ordinary watches. those on this time piece reverse the order,—they travel from right to left. Because this Kalamazoo jeweller hag a daughter who believes in equal rights,—or lefts,—for all, this re- markable invention has come to its place in the world. This young lady complained to her father because the left-handed person is so woefully ne- glected in the natural order of things. Nothing seemed suitable for the left- handed ones,—machinery, street car doors, books, everything, even the hands on the clock went toward the right hand as if in open deflance to the “south-paws” of the race. But now that a valiant father has followed the brilliant idea of a no less worthy daughter, all will be difficult. Time can be told just as easily on the back- ward, or left-handed, dials as it can on the old style ones. The only trouble is that even if turned back- ward«imes goes on just the same. Cruel, stingy, mean old Time, never lingering, always hustling onward, onward, onward. Now that we have the left-handed and the right-handed time pieces, is it not time some genius came to the fore with a strictly neu- tral recorder of fleeting moments? Just such a clock that would post- pone the coming of the morning aft- er the night before would be a wel- obey. They do many well; purpose of mak- l "FACTS AND FANCIES. As one more proof of the superior claims of the fair sex to political power, let us not overlook the fact wnat in New York their first activity after defeat was the accumulation of another big campaign fund.—New York World. It would be interesting to know what percentage of the majorities against woman suffrage in New York, Pennsyivania, Massachusetts and New Jersey is due to the women who told their husbands, sons, brothers and lovers to vote no.~—Buftalo knquirer. If China wishes to change from a republic to a limited monarchy, which it seems likely to do, it somewhat shocks the sensibilities of republican America, -but it probably will be no worse for China. It takes a long time for a peoble to become fit for o democracy, and especially a people which for thousands of years has been accustomed to a despotism.— ‘Watertown Times. That business is really picking up, regardless of the purely temporary in- fluence of war orders on general con- ditions, is testified in the reports of the reserve agents for the twelve fed- eral reserve bank: This is cheer- ful, to say the least. And the m.usL noteworthy feature of a returning feeling of confidence is found in the tact that domestic business, as dis- tinct from the whooping up of trade in the war order factories, has shown a much better tone during the past month. Perhaps we may not have to wait until the end of the war for our prosperity.—Buffalo Commercial. Ior the world the danger point in German aggression is well passed. Neither Europe nor the world is to be dominated by German arms or ideas. Germany is fighting now, not for world power and supremacy, but to save something of her conquests. Tomorow she will be fighting to save herself, her own frontiers, her place in the sun, not of Asia or Africa, but of Europe. The great war is mov- ing toward the end, slowly but un- mistakably, and the end daily be- comes clearer. The words of Briand and Asquith have for the world a value beyond. exaggeratiom.—New York Tribune. To the few remaining, but vocifer- ous, pacifists it (President Wilson’s speech) will, of course, be a bitter pill. Mr. Bryan will continue to rage and imagine it a vain thing. He has begun his campaign of opposition with the assertion that this simple military plan for defense only is “a reversal of our national policy.” President Wilson last Thursday night declared that it was “in accordance with our national traditions,” and the President spoke advisedly. With Mr. Bryan's “sorrow and concern’ deeply sympathize, but he must s to facts if he expects to get a sober hearing.—New York Times. A customer asked a German butcher for the price of Hamburge steak. “Twenty-five cents a pound, was the reply. “But,” said the cu tomer, “down at Callaghan’s the price is only twenty a pound. “Vell,” queried Schwartz, ‘“vy you don't buy of Callaghan?” “He didn’t have any,” answered the customer, ‘“Oh, vell,” replied Schwartz, “ven I don’t haf 'em I sell ’em for ten cents.’” Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia has 1eceived an aerogram from Berlin via the Sayville wireless offering fifteen comed addition, or one that would lengthen our days by discounting a few hours from the night. We are not averse to such an invention. Someone has aptly said that march- ing through Russia is a slightly dif- ferent than marching through Georgia. All of #hich can be proven by any authentic life of Napoleon.

Willlam Shaw, prohibition candidate for governor of Massachusetts, talks (after the election) like a man dis- appointed in an ambition. He might with profit emulate the graceful mag- nanimity of Governor Walsh. If the voters of the state lacked faith of Shaw's wild campaign statements about the interests that control the republican party, it is hardly to be expected that they will give credence to them now the campaign is ended. Suffragists probably learned one thing that will be of value, and that is the open enemy is better than the cents a pound for a million bales of cotton—delivered. If the cotton could be delivered via Sayville per- haps the price would be somewhat scaled down.—Collier’s. Kentucky’s Trouble. (Bridgeport Post.) Kentucky seems in for a red hot ccntest over governor. So close are ‘the election returns for this office that both republican and democratic state committees are claiming the election. The striking thing dis- closed by the returns to date is thet there are three batches of figures presented to the people of Kentucky- In the first the democrats claim 2 win by about 3,000. In the secend the republicans hold that their man has won by 1,400. In the third, in- dependent newspapers give the dew- ocratic candidate a victory by about 1,200, with the admission that some changes my yet materliaze to reduce this. b For at large there is a lesson in this difficulty. There ave some persons in the United States who would make presidential nomin- ations by direct vote and then do with the electoral college to provide for a general election of president through direct vote of fhe people. ‘When the country it is known that certain of the mountain towns of Kentucky have not yet filed their official re- turns, nearly a week after election, and that the same delays are in evi- dence at elections in many other states of the South and West, the possibilities. of serious complications if a presidential contest were close are easy to discover. And in view of the immense interest at stake is there any doubt but that fraud would be attempted if the votes were need- ed? The Eastern states, as a rule, have much greater protection for the bal- lot and for returns than the South, and to some extent the West, It would be next to impossible to have a dispute over the vote in any New England state, with the exception of Maine. 1In any instance it would need the connivance of both the leading political party officials to bring it about.

A Novel Argument. (Springfield Republican.) A novel pro-German argument is put forward by a Dutch publicist, who does not seem wholly moved by love for his Prussianized fellow-Teutons. A German victory, he tells his readers would be less dangerous than a vic- | tory of the allies, for the odd reason that the Germans have mno gift for conciliation or making friends, and | therefore could not keep an empire | even if they won it. England, on | the contrary, is a very dangerous em- | pire-builder because it has the secret | of winning loya] support to the sur- prise of Holland, the Dutch in South | Africa have taken the British side in the war. An empire bound With | such firm and flexible cords, he ar- gues, is bound to grow, even despite the desire of the British, and by its 8rowth to be a menace to the far-off colonial possessions of Holland. It is an ingenious argument, but per- haps, not one calculated to please cither side. ~ So far as can be gather- ed from the Dutch press, however, While sympathy leans toward the al- lies, the prevailing desire is that the war be ended without a victory for either side and the sooner the better.

Americans of German blood are proud of pointing to the record which those of their blood made in the ar- mies of the Union during the Civil War. | We should think they would be. That generation which fled Prussia after '48, the people’s last revolution for democracy, carried with them the inspiration for freedom of the North of that day fitted into the souls of those young Germans. Its fight was really but a continuation of the fight that had been lost at home. From it the North, in turn, received a measure of reciprocal inspiration. | And the North—indeed, the reunited | Union—did not hesitate to acknowl- | edge this debt or to honor those Ger- | man exiles who had so nobly placed | that debt upon us Among all these none more signally than Carl Schurz. This | young revolutionist saw Lincol as the coming man at a time when even the North was not alive to him. After the Douglas debate Schurz car- ried word to Milwaukee that this Lincoln was no ‘“second or third rate man like Polk or Pierce,” but that he had a “lucid mind and honest heart.” | For Lincoln’s election Schurz spoke | constantly and effectively all through | the campaign of 1860. The Germans everywhere voted as he led, and their vote was almost a_ decisive factor in the defeat of Douglas. It was during this campaign that it fell to Carl Schurz to make in Faneuil Hall in Boston, a speech on ‘“True: Americanism.” And it is from this speech that we would today quote but one paragraph which we would | recommend to all those of his blood who are a part of his adopted country today: “American citizens, having sworn exclusive allegiance to the UWited | States, not one ‘of them should ever forget that this republic has a right to expect of all its adopted citizens,* as to their attitude toward public af- fairs, especially questions of peace or war, the loyal and complete suhor-i dination of the interests of their na- tive countries to the interests of the United States.” These are the words of the first American citizen of German birth to become a Senator of the United States. They come down to us across half a century to a day when German- Americans are pointing with defensive pride to their record in the '60s. We are glad to have them point to it. Tt is a heritage of all of us as well as of their own. But while they are pointing to their gallant deeds, may they always point, also, to the inspiration that was back of those deeds. May they take unto their hearts and apply in their acts today Carl Schurz's definition of ‘“True Americanism.” stood out Tt Often Happens. South Norwalk (Conn.) Dispatch To- ledo Blade.

Hartford took possession of its new city building on Thursday of last week with appropriate ceremonies, and everything passed off well. The building is commodious and hand- some and cost the tidy little sum of $1,670,000. It ought to be a fair building for that amount of money and it actually appears that in laying it out there was an eve to a year or two ahead and it was not built for the requirements of yesterday. Water- bury did not spend as much by about one-half on her new municipal build- ing and it is already acknowledged by the architect to be too small. A little more money would have made the doing of the city business more comfortable for the years to come. Bridgeport knows. Testing the College Soul. (New York Times.) After election the country has time and inclination to ponder the supreme issue of this and every November. “Campus and buildings and endow- ment,” says President Welsh of Ohio Wesleyan university finely, ‘never have made and never can make a great college. Only the soul makes great.” Exactly. And the soul of a college is football. What do the un- dergraduates of Colgate and Wash- | ington and Jefferson care about en- | dowments? They have the endow- ment of playing football. They have walloped Yale mightily. The soul of their college is exalted. The enter- ing class next year will be multitudi- nous. The soul of Cornell has overcome of Harvard, the soul of Princeton the soul of Dartmouth, the soul of Dartmouth is about to meet the soul of Pennsylvania, the souls of Princeton, Harvard and Yale have to meet in goodly grapple. Saturday on Princeton sands, Dr. Lowell's un- decimal system will set its iron heel. Is the Nassovain or the Cantabrigian soul the mightier? In November, college values are re- apprized. Not President Wilson, but Capt. Glick is the greatest, most fa- mous living Princetonians. Not Mr. Taft, but Capt. Wilson or Tom Shev- lin is the glory of New Haven.

Perhaps as an antidote to the wild visions of ‘“Stover” and that older “Harry” who had a “career” at Yale, it may not be a bad idea to have some authentic pictures of Yale in motion to present to those interested to view them. Anyhow, the Alumni | Advisory board has thought so, and some time since appointed a commit- tee to arrange such a series. An- nouncement is made that the series is now ready, and includes such views as: Building the Bowl; Football; a Team In the Making: the Junior Promenade; Dramatics; the Iphigenia Presentation at the Bowl; Reunions; Raseball; The Commencement Proces- sion; A Boat Race on the Thames. It is the expectation that these views will be much in demand by alumni associations and preparatory schools, and that they will serve to advertise Yale's attractions.
