When one dled another person would be appointed. Of course, certain Senators, not Fedicums, would be elected. Further, every ex-President would be a Fedicum. Members of the House of Representatives he would have known as Reburs; from Rebus, a riddle of representation. As George Stone would say, ‘‘Very Good, Eddie!” But hear Mr. Fauzdik further. Fedicum is not the only title he has dragged out of the dust of Rome, or wherever he got his se- lections. He would even re-name this Republic and call it Kebur, which, in the language of the street, must be somewhat akin to Kibosh. Americans he would have known as Kebins. To add an element of neutrality to his scheme Mr. Fauzdik would do away with the name English which desig- nates the tongue of the nation and he would call it instead, Kebish.

Politics or no politics there is a bond of friendship existing between President Wilson and ex-President Taft, the leading Democrat and the foremost Republican of other days. To further cement this good will President Wilson has this week ap- pointed Mr. Taft chairman of the central committee of the American Red Cross, filling a vacancy caused by the resignation of General George W. Davis who retired on account of poor health. It will be remembered that when Mr. Taft was Secretary of War he was elected President of the American Red Cross Society and served in such capacity while he was President of the United States. When President Wilson went Wnto the White House Mr. Taft gracefully &ave up the presidency of the Red Cross contending that this honor should be conferred upon the man Who succeeded him as executive head of the nation. President Wilson was accordingly elected to this post. This FACTS AND FANCIES.

If the Germans make good in their announcement that they will occupy Constantinople by December 3, they may make a Christmas present to themselves of the Turkish capital. How embarrassing it may be to the Turks if the Germans should keep it and forget to give it back again.— Watertown Times The United States has made a plain statement of its case as regards the injustice of England’s action in seiz- ing cargoes destined to neutral con- signees. What the British reply will be is problematical. But it is well to remember that there is a treaty of arbitration between the United States and Great Britain, and if there is a disagreement regarding Eng- land’s ability for losses incurred by our people there will be appeal to an impartial court. The Alabama award showed what could be done when this country had a good case. —Troy Times, The French Minister of the Colonies announced the other day that Ger- man East Africa and a small part of the Kameruns werc all that was left of Africa in German possession. In other words, of the colonial em- pire of 1,128,690 square miles which was German in August, 1914, all but 400,000 square miles has passed into the hands of the enemy. Germany has thus already lost territory cov- ering an area three and one-half times greater than that of her empire in Europe and she seems to be in a fair way of losing the rest.—New York Journal of Commerce A Universal Thought. (Meriden Record.) The Thanksgiving proclamation issued by Governor Major of Missouri requests that “‘every citizen, from the humblest to the greatest, from the poorest to the richest, from the non- professor to the Christian, stop wherever he may be on the morning of November 25, and offer thanks and silent prayer to God for His bless- ings.” This is carrying the Thanksgiving idea a little farther than any other chlef executive has done, though all the proclamations have been charac- terized by a fervor and sincerity which has sometimes been lacking in the or- dinary stereotyped announcements which custom has decreed shall be made annually. This year man realizes his impo- tence. Because of the tremendous problems confronting him he feels the need of a higher power than any he can muster. The great tragedies en- acted in Europe have shaken him and he seeks expression for a feeling of thankfulness that he has been spared the sorrows of direct experi- ence. He has been torn by the marked the beginning of the courte- sles between the two men. If there could be always this warm sympathy existing between big men in oppos- ing parties much of the strife and ill feeling might be taken out of the American game of politics. And this, we contend, is a consummation devoutly to be wished. A summary of preliminary esti- mates of crop production, and prices, for the State of Connecticut, piled by the Bureau of Crop mates, under the United States partment of Agriculture, shows following: Corn—Estimate this year 3,060,000, final estimate last year 2,806,000 bu- shels; price November 1 to producers 89 cents per bushel, year ago 90 cents. ‘Wheat—Estimate this year——— bushels, final estimate last year ; price November 1 to pro- ducers $1.40 per bushel, year $1.00. Oats—Estimate this year 352,000 bushels, final estimate last year 319,- 000; price November 1 to producers 50 cents per bushel, year ago 55 cents. Potatoes—Estimate this year 2,- 280,000 bushels, final estimate last year 8,360,000; price November 1 to producers 95 cents per bushel, year ago 67 cents. Apples—Estimate this year 511,000 barrels, final estimate last year 833,- 000 barrels; price October 15 to pro- ducers $2.85 per barrel, year ago $1.91.

The appointment of Dr. C. V. Well- ington Koo as Minister from China to the United States is another earnest of the modern-mindedness of Yuan Shi Kai and his regime. statesmen of the new era are well aware of the importance of being understood as well as merely repre- change the Constitution of the sented in America.—Philadelphia Ledger.

Truly he has cause for thankfulness and it is not strange that every head of a state has found it natural to urge a public to give tangible expression.to a universal thought. A Habit With Bryan. (Bridgeport Standard.) The Philadelphia Ledger remarks that “Mr. Bryan’s reference to the ad- vocates of preparedness as paid agents of the ship-builders and ammunition madkers, illustrates a familiar habit of mind. Why should any one champion a cause except for what there is in it?” Turn this about and ask Mr. Bryan whose agent he is, and what his agency nets him and he may not te disposed to accept the application. Perhaps he will insist that President Wilson is also a ‘‘paid agent” of the ship-bullders and munition makers! Mr. Bryan's “familiar habit of mind” is rapidly approximating idiocy. Orange Peel His Name. (Washington Star.) Orange Peel is the name of dairyman of the Utah food and dairy commissioner’s department. Orange Frederick Peel is the name in full. “I have had more difficulty persuad- ing people that I am not fooling, and all but taken an oath that my name is the same as the rind of the famous fruit, that you could ever imagine,” said Mr. Peel. “At school a fellow called me lemon peel after he heard my last name was Peel- He thought he was joking. But I went him one bet- ter when I explained to him my full Christian name. Then he looked on me as a sort of hero, and ceased joking.” Mr. Peel says his parents called him Orange because he was a sweet child. the Mirror His Comic, ! (Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.) An effeminate, self-opinionated young man entered a restaurant the other day, and after he had ordered lunch, the waitress, who was well known for her obliging disposition and ready wit, handed him a newspa- per so that he might profitably while away the few minutes that would elapse before he was served. “Thank you Josephine,” he said fa- miliarly, “but T prefer something fun- ny to look at while I am eating.” Tne waitress looked at him temptuously, then replied: “That need occasion you no incon- venience, Percy.

(New Haven Register.) The New York Tribune has moved in spirit nearer to the college than it was in Horace Greeley’s day. Imagine that old giant permitting anything appreciative of college work or activi- ties, to say nothing of a glorification of football, to occupy space in his edi- torfal columns! Yet yesterday's Tri- bune gave nearly half a column to a praise of “The New Football.” The substance of this is enthusiasm over the discovery that the old system of line-bucking has been superseded by the open style of play, including the forward pass, the exchange of punts and the kicking of goals from the field- This it calls new, though it admits that it was vindicated two or three years ago. But why go only two or three years? Wasn't there a tradition as far back as the early seventies that the way to get the ball quickly across the opponent’s goal line was to kick it? The habit of carrving it tenderly in the arms came in later. Then followed such things as the fly- ing wedge and the revolving mass play, not to mention the straight | rlunge through the center. These, | first regarded by the older devotees of the game as inventions of the devil, were later accepted as the inevitable. It is, to be sure, only three or four years since the new style of open play came in. This includes various forms of advancing the ball besides causing it to make its way, in the arms of a husky player, tarough an impene- trable mass. But the main reliance is on the toe of a stout shoe, skilfully and muscularly applied- Is that, after all, so startingly new? Foes of Defense Program, (Ansonia Sentinel.) Col. William Jennings Bryan will gain some cold comfort from the fact that he has discovered in House Lead- er Kitchin, of the democratic majority in congress a convert to his belief that a defenseless country is something highly to be desired. Col. Villard, of the New York Evening Post is also leaning Bryanward and these two mopeless inborn and wedded foes of war are about the only acquisitions to date that he has accumulated against the presidential program of national defense. There will be other strag- | glers collected during the month be- fore congress convenese. But it is ad- mitted now that a safe majority can | be regarded as assured for the defense program that the president has given | his approval. There will be crimina- tions and recriminations to be sure, but the common sense of the average American congressman and senator will be sufficient to dispose of inane and false assumptions and untenable D.

The great mass of the American people are fixed now in the firm de- termination to have the republic made reasonably safe from aggression. They have been welded into an irresistible force by the stern logic of recent cvents and by the appalling fate that has fallen on the peaceful and neu- tral nations that have been in the way of the powers that make an idol of the theory that might is right. We shall probably see lively times in congress. The hot air generates, the men who think for the day only and ‘not for the far future, will ulu- late and make strident protest. They will shriek of militarism and of the “man on horseback.” They will as- sail the president as a traitor to peace and a foe to our national tradition But the majority of congress and of the American people know better. They know just how firm the presi- dent is in his love for peace with honor. They know him for a patient man, a just man, who holds the future of the republic as a jewel of great price. And they know too that, when such a man abandons his former be- liefs and adopts a policy counter to what he has hitherto professed, some supreme peril must have been visible to him that led him to take the other way. The American people now stand as solidly back of the president in his de- fense pProgram as they did when the Lusitania tragedy led him to demand a stern accounting from Germany. They know that he has been and is impelled by a keen desire for the hon- or and safety of the United Stutes. Those who oppose him are few In number and of less importance: They will rage in vain. USE HYDROPLANE TO CARRY MAILS Colombian Government Buys Boat Built in America—Travels 40 Miles An Hour. New York, Nov. 12.—The Yolanda II, a hydroplane drawing five inches of water and driven upwards of forty miles an hour by two air propellers, is here awaiting shipment to Bogota, Colombia, where she will be used to carry the mails and government of- ficials down the Magdalena river between the capital and the coast, six hundred miles. The boat is said to be the first “glider” of its kind ever built in Am- erica. In a trial trip down the Hud~ son river from Nyack to this city yes- terday she covered twenty-two miles in a little more than half an hour. On board were Don Julio Belancourt, the Colombian minister at Washing- ton, and other representatives of that country. The boat was built at the direction of Gonzalo Mojia, a Colombian, and her light draft is made necessary by the shallow waters of lena river. the Magda~ HARDWARE FIRE.
