(Publishers’ gun.- Auxiliary.) It is not plcasant and profitable al- ways to tell the truth in the columns of a newspaper. Men who have tried this heretofore have always come to grief Only a few days ago the oditor of a paper in Indiana grew tired of being called a liar, and announced that he would tell the truth in the future; and the next issue of the pa- per contained the following items “John Bonin, the laziest merchant in town, made a trip to Belleville yes- terday. John Coyle, doing a poor dirty and du much? “Rev. Styx preached night on ‘Charity.’ The punk “Dave Sonkey died this place. The heart failure.

Tle commented as follows upon the death of a citizen: “Died.—Aged fifty-six years, six months and thirteen days. Deceased was a mild-mannered pirate with a mouth for whisky. He came here In the night with another man’s wife and joined the church at first chance. He owes us several dollars for the pa- | per, a large meat bill. and yoy could hear him pray six blocks. He died singing ‘Jesus Paid Tt All,’ and we think he is right; he never paid any- thing himself. He was buried in an asbestos casket. and his many friends threw palm leaf fans in his grave, as he may need them. His tomb- stone will be a favorite resting place for hoot owls.” Discouraging Young Authors, That ancient feud between publish- ers and authors which (to 20 no fur- | ther back) prompted Thackeray to his vitriolic portraits of Bacon and Bungay, ha sbeen breaking out afresh. A recent article lays the vagaries of cditors to the Inefficlency of their cooks, and hazards the observation that if the man to whom O. Henry ent a certain manuscript had had a gond breakfast he would not have re- Jeeted it, and O.

Even now The Press says that tho army is of little worth, and the militia | even worse. It is time for Americans to ponder upon the words of Washington in his Farewell Address: “The common and continual mis chiefs of the spirit of party are suf- ficient to make it the interest of a wise people to discourage and restrain it. Gy ¢ always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the pub- lic administration. Tt agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarm; kindles the animosity of onc part against the other. “It opens the door to foreign in- fluence and corruption which find facilitated access to the government through the channels of party passion. “Thus the policy and will of the country are subjected to the policy and will of another.” The Bourbon journals of Wall street condemn the president because he does not fight in Mexico, and slan- der the government because internal intrigue and foreign meddling have finally made it imperative for the na- tion to eall upon the military arm. The course of President Wilson has the approval of all thoughtful men, and much of the reasoning to justify his course is furnished by those who try to destroy him Those who desire the unity of America, should not resent because {he president consulted the countries to the south, seeking to compose Mexico. Those who G desire the United States to hold South American trade should not oppose a policy which links the bond of friendship in a stronger way. Those who_proclaim the nation unpreparedness, how can they, in £ood consclence, with the same voice, protest because there was not an ear- ly war. Should we fight before it is neces sary; and if any give assent to this, then should we fight before we are ready? Let the critfcs of President Wilson answer that question. PITY THE STATION AGENT. He Has Troubles All his Own So Malke Allowances. The country station agent has many duties which make him a busy man, and he needs a little consideration from his customers says “The Chi cago Drovers' Journal”” He usually does his best to satisfy the farmers with whom he deals daily, in perform- ing his dutles.

The lat- ter city lies eighty-five miles south- west of the Turkish border town which situated on both sides of the Hul- van river, a tributary of the Diala, whose waters empty into the Tigris. estling near the foothills of tho | Zagros mountains, with the fertile but uncultivated Mesopotamian plain stretching to the south, Khanikin 1s a commercial gateway between Persia | and Asiatic Turkey. Through it pass the caravans which bear to Bagdad the produce destined for transhipment to the port of Basra on the Persian | Gulf. To the east lies Kermanshah, | famous for its carpets and its horses, and situated equi-dis nt from Tabriz, Teheran, Isfahan and Bagdad. “Not only does the traveler journey- ing from Bagdad to Khanikin meet trade caravans but frequently he en- counters curious funeral processions of Shiite pilgrims making their sol- emn way from various points in Kurd- istan to Kerbela, below Bagdad. The faithful believe that there is special virtue in being buried near the shrine of Husein, who fell at in 680 A. D., while battling with the enemies of his father, Ali, son-in-law the prophet and fourth caliph. “Khanikin is charmingly situated in the midst of gardens whose fruits and palms are famous.

Here are to be found the remains of a rock-hewn aqueduct which in an- cient days conveyed water for a dls- fifteen miles in order that Shirin might be made, beauty of their far- famed mistress. The story of Ferhad and Shirin is one of the favorite ro- mances of the east. Ferhad was tha greatest sculptor of his day, and @ great architect. While making bas- reliefs of his sovereign, Chosroes II, and of the latter's bride, the Christ- ijan S8hirin, (also called Sira) the sculptor fell madly in love with his beautiful model. Chosroes, so goes the legend, promised to bestow Shirin up- on his gifted subject provided the lat- ter would cut through the rock of Be- histun and divert a stream to the Ker- manghah plain. Ferhad undertook the task but when the work was al- most completed an emissary camé from the false king bearing a tragid¢‘ story of Shirin’s death. The sculptor in despair leaped from the rocks and was dashed to death upon the site of his engineering triumph. “In this neighborhood is Sar-i-Puli- zohab, where the Ali Ilahis believe David lived and where rockhewn tomb is a place of pilgrimage. This sect, supposed to believe in the sucs cessive reincarnation of the God= head through 1,001 existences, had 8« remarkable beginning, for it is res corded that Ali, who is held to be their god, repudiated the worship of his would-be followers and when Abdulla ibn Saba, an Arab, proclaimed him to be God the disciple and those who joined in protestations of reverence were ordered cast into a pit where fire was thrown them.

It will be interesting to have the status of members of the congress of the United States who are officers in the national guard deflned. It would be equally interesting to ascertain the history of a situation which forbids, If it does, a member of the congress from serving in the guard while serv- ing in the legislative body of his country. There might very appropriately be a question as to a congressional guardsman drawing pay as an officer in the service while drawing pay <as a member of the congress, but it is scarcely conceivable that, because member of the congr the front with his regiment, feits the seat in the congress his constituents elected him to. can imagine, for example, no com- plaint being registered against Lieu- tenant-Colonel Tilson, the duly elected representative in this congressional district, because he went to the front with the Second regiment. It is true that direct. communication would thus be cut off between the voters of this district and the congress of the United States, but there would still remain representation enough from this state to afford the people of this district all the protection they would need. Congressman Tilson’s associates, who belong to the same political par- ty, would he glad to shoulder his duties and care for his constituents. There would be a decided element of injustice in compelling a member of the congress ed to the colox stand that the eign house of legislation, who were called to the colors in their respective countrics, were deprived of their legisl tive seats.
