Men and places have a strange way of jumping from absolute darkness to the glamor of the limelight. For proof of this wit- ness Winnetka, Ill., and Burkitt. Until the past week netka was known only to a road folk and some men and Burkitt, claimed some friends in the postoflice department for as assistant postmas- ter of Winnetka he must have But now George Burkitt’s name is known the country over and the postofice with which he had the honor of being connected has become a beacon light in the po- litical arena. And all because venerable George undertook it upon himself to criticise the Chief Execu- tive of the nation in regard to the simple little matter of matrimony. As a result of some of George's uncen- sored remarks he was summarily dis- missed from his post as assistant the postmaster of Winnetka. His case was then brought before the President of the United States who, from the goodness of his heart, fused to consider the utterances Burkitt in the light of crime, and dered the Postmaster General to George back on the postal pa ‘What sort of a republic is this get- ting to be anyway when a man cannot criticise any person, place or thing he chooses? What is happening to our democracy when a little thing like disrespect to the President of the United States from a government em- ploye will merit the rebuke that was handed to Burkitt. Truly the ways of men are growing beyond compre- hension. President Wilson strikes a deadly blow at prudishness when he refuses to allow Burkitt to lose his position because he indulged in the pleasant pastime of gossiping. The Society of Waggihg Tongues has been vindioated. Let the good work go on. And when Secretary to the President Tumulty says, that “thisisa free country” and that George Burkitt can or do any- thing he pleases, the Secretary hits the nail on the head. This is a free country. While they may sus- pend newspapers in England for criti- cising the King; or throw persons in German bastiles for denouncing the Kaiser, they cannot even argue with you here for saying anything wish about the President. revel in our freedom.

It is fast going down the prim- rose path to perdition, becoming memory of other days. To give an impetus, so to speak, to its jog along the highway of gloom the authorities of the University of Pennsylvania have ordered that a song which once ad- vised the students to “drink a high- ball at nightfall” be omitted from the official issue of the Pennsylvania Song Book- another line of the song, ‘“Tomorrow may bring sorrow.” a Thus is seen the signficance in FACTS AND FANCIES.

There are certain imposts upon transactions that are continually go- ing on in the transfer of values or exerclse of privileges, which could be made so slight as to be imperceptible in detail and yet yield a considerable revenue in the aggregate. This is customarily effected by the use of stamps on the papers and documents emploved in such transactions.

Submarine ger ships i sea power with any neverthel Tow A Explains Tt. (Ansonia Sentinel.) now the official version of the Ancona tragedy from Austrian sources. It is explicit and entirely ble to the Austrian side of the <e as might have been expected. By it the utmost amount of justification | that can be made for the wholesale murder of non-combatants is made. The Austrian commander of the sub- marine says that the .Ancona = was | warned. He says that it tried to es- cape and that it was fired upon while escaping. He says, when it finally halted, the passengers and crew were given forty-five minutes to take to the boats but that panic intervened and the crew was cowardly and used the | boats themselves. The Austrians also claim that many boats on the steamer were not launched at all and that, if they had been, all of the passengers would have been saved. With all due courtesy to the worthy agent of destruction that the subm rine commander has proved him his explanation does not really ex- plain. Tt requires more than the ordinary amount of credulity to make one believe that the passengers of the Ancona threw themselves into the sea after the liner had been stopped, when there was no cannonade going on and when plenty of hoats were in plain sight on the davits. It does not explain why the panic on board con- tinued after the firing had ceased and before the torpedo was launched. It does not explain why all of the sur. vivors, tneluding one impartial Amer- ican woman, affirm that there was a “ontinued cannonade when the pas senge: were to the boats and | that some of the shots caused casual- ties in the lifeboats. The explana- tion does not clear up the contention of the Ttalian officials that the sub- | marine was German, flying the Aus- trian flag. Tt is quitc an explanation but it will probably go into the same category as that famous one of Ger- many regarding the Arabic, where it was insisted that the liner w at tacking the submarine instead of the submarine the liner. Just at present we are as much in the dark as ever and as unable to take the initiative in demanding justice for this crimd. The accounts of the trag- edy are so contradictory that it is im- possible to get the real facts until we have more data from impartial wit- nesses. That is what is being sought | by the state department now. When it | is at hand we can Jdeal with the Aus- trian explanation in the light of cer- tain truthful details, Tt is not too much to say that, in view of previous Austrian statements regarding acts contrary to the hest interests of the | United States, this latest one is re- | ceived with a certain reserve. Almost any statement from Austria requires a considerable amount of corrob- orative evidence. The time has passed | when we could take a Teutonic state- ment and accept it at its face value. And hoth Germany and Austria are themselves responsible for this unhap- | py lack of confidence. They have made it clear that to them good faith and a pledged word are nothing but scraps of paper. We have vor 11, A Word for Father. (Indianapolis News.) When a man succeeds in living a good or useful life that fact is usually attributed to the influence of a mother, When men talk of days past no word hrings forth more treasured memories than ‘“mother. When a lawyer wishes to arouse a jury’s com- on for a client he invariably speaks of the effects of conviction on the mother. Pocts, dramatists, and fiction writers of all ages have united | in honoring her name, Days have been set aside in her honor, pensions are given her, flowers named for her. societies founded for her. All this is well. The world would be a sorry world, indeed, If it were not so. But is there not danger of father being overlooked in the shuffle? The aver- age father succeeds pretty well in discharging his duty to society. He labors along persistently and quietly for six days a week that his family may be provided for; he stands be- tween his family and the world, shouldering the responsibility of the rent, the taxes, the grocery and the coal bill; he admonishes the boy and advises mother, seeking always to make their burden lighter; he works unceasingly, without comnplaint, fight- ing, scheming, suffering, to the one end that his family bhe assured comfort and independence, In this he sometimes fails, hut he keeps on tryving, cheerfully, stolidly, stubhornly fo the end. werifices that must be made he makes willinzly The must to college and the girl must have music lessons: something must be cut, and usually it is laxurs & ot father's that perish R A Ho is not so a figure as may hoy 20 some 5 hy poetical | room, sizes 9y | Special | in | ously | barometer McMILLAN’S NEW BRITAIN’S BUSIEST BIG STORE “ALWAYS RELIABLE’ FLOOR COVERINGS AND DRAPERIES STOCK, 5 WHELL SELECTED Floor Coverings and Drapery of all kinds.
