He may be right and he may be wrong. The returns alone show the truth or falsity of his prog- nostications. Probably the Senator was merely talking for expediency and felt that whatever: he said in New Haven on the night of September 5 would be long forgotten before the night of November 7. In that he is undoubtedly correct. It will be for- gotten even before then. But he should know he spoils a lot of fun of the moment by out flat- footed and saying disclose. s0 of his turn. will coming that the people Hughes in the White House. If the Senator has such information he should keep it to himself and not take the joy out of so many lives, out of so many hearts who feel the other way ‘round. There are a lot of people in this country and not all have decided for Hughes. There are those who have decided upon Wilson as the man to retain jn the White House. Novem- ber and not Brandegee will tell just how the real peaple have decided. AT WORK ON IT. Yesterday the first meeting of the joint commission to consider the Mexican question was held at New London. From now on the three Mexican citizens and the men appointed by President Wilson to look after the American side will try to settle by logical methods some of the ‘harrassing issues presented for consid- eration. The men sent from Mexico represent the highest type of Mexican intellect. The chairman. Luis Cabrera, is an eminent jurist of Mexico City, a lawyer known throughout Mexico as one of the leading legal lights of the country. Another member from Mexico 1s Albert Pani, who was min- ister of education under the late President Madero. With these two is Ygnacio Bonillas, an engineer known to many Americans who have sought wealth from the land of Mexico, a man of great technical training and commen sense. These three Mexicans meeting with commission led by They may fail; but at least the satisfactlon of Just when the people made this mo- | have decided to place Charles Evans | | much as they cause a man to forget all his other miseries.

Those who knew the old St. Peters- | burg would not kno' the new Petro- grad. When the Russians changed | the name they were in the act of al- most completely changing the place. The population of the Russian capi- tal has increased nearly 40 per cent. since July, 1915. This is partly due | to tne arrival of hundreds of thou- sands of fugitives from Poland, the | Baltic provinces and Volhynia, partly to the erection of numerous new fac- tories and the enlargement of old ones. The industrial establishments in Petrograd and the surrounding towns now employ six’ hundred thou- sand men and women. - Many of the workers have been brought from the interior of the empire. Within a radius of 30 miles of Pet- rograd every existing factory produces war material and nothing else. The | Russian industries after some delay the war as those of Germany. Under the direction of Russlan, English and French experts the factcries turn out enormous quantities of shells of all sizes and cartridges for machine guns and rifl The Putiloff Works now make nearly as many big guns as the world famous Krupp Works in Essen and it is asserted that more machine guns are finished every week in Rus- sia than in Germany. One of the most serious questions the authorities of the capital have to wrestle with is the housing of the fugitives and the large army of work- ers brought from other cities and the rural districts. Rent in the sections inhabited by the laboring classes is 150 to 200 per cent. higher than be- fore the war. and slngle persons are not able to ob- tain quarters and have to be housed in barns, storage houses and wooden barracks erected near the factories. Although food is plenty in the in- terior provinces and in Serbia it can- not be brought to Petrograd because the railway rolling stock is used for military purposes. Food in the city is almost prohibitively dear and there are many starving, thousands of crip- pled soldiers roam the streets beg- ging, and yet wages are better than ever before In the history of Russia and never was there such a demand for labor, both skilled and orude. In spite of all this travelers report that strange to say the people are en- thustastic for the war, are in com- paratively good humor and are ,eon- fident of victory and better times. Hope springs eternal in the Russian breast as it does in the western world. The Busy Human Heart. (Boston Record).

(New York Kvening Sun.) Lawyers who try to keep up with the times have a nice task set for them by the decision of Judge Hand | ot the United States District Court in the matter of the rephotographing | across the Canadian border of the film of the fight at Havana between Willard and Johnson. The ingenuity of that attempt to avoid the law against the importation of the film ap- | peared to. be considerable until Judge | Hand’s opinion was given, | tention of the defence being, it seems, that nothing crossed the border and that there could therefore be no im- | portation and no violation of the law. Now we see that, under the law, matter is not the only importable | thing, The ether, which scientists are careful to distinguish from matter until they know more about it, evi- dently is held to be importable, for Judge Hand writes: “Now, it is clear that the negative New York film could not be taken eXcept by the agency of forces set in motion in Canada. These forces ‘were rays of light moving into the United States. To be sure they went in in- definite apd vast numbers from each point of the object in nada in divergent directions and were mere ‘confusions of light,’ so called, until certain of them came into the lens | on the New York side. The argument that this process did not amount to bringing a pictorial renresentation from Canada to the United States, while difficult to answer, is, I think, lmet by the unquestionable fact that a pictorial image, though not a phy- sical object, which was in Canada is now in New York.” If Newton's corpuscular theory of light had not been discarded the judge might have held that a physical ob- ject had passed from Canada to the United States, for the old gravity man believed that light was due to the emission of streams of fine particles from the source of light. But that theory is no longer welcome and light is accepted as the passage of certain waves of the ether from the object seen or photographed to the eye or the lens. Passage, indeed, for the speed is 186,000 miles a second. Rays of light, Judge Hand calls the waves, and that is the popular name for them. The ether having been passed upon an importable, what may be some fu- ture declaration of the law concern- ing other things which lie outside the realm of matter?

This assertion was e, not as a prediction, but as a hment of fact, at the Republican Conwvention. The Senator thinks all over but the shouting. as re- stant menace on our southern border. It has passed through many admin- istrations and has not been settled. It was a sore spot on the Roosevelt ad- ministration. The Taft administration suffered from its annoyance and at last found relief in turning it over to Mr. Wilson. The past two months, or since the American troops went to the border, have witnessed more quiet and gerenity that any other time during the past four or five years. Now that the disturbances have been held in check, there is every reason to hope that the commissions from America and Mexico will find a way out of a perplexing situstion. New Britain again has representa- tion an the state Republican ticket in the person of Frederick S. Cham- berlain who has for two years served as state treasurer. These years of work well done assured Mr, Chamber- lain a Tenomination even before the convention in New Haven assembled.

'They were boarding a subway local when the American exclaimed: “Wait—here's an express coming. Let's take that.” - The Jap obediently followed his host out of the local and into the ex- press train, and then, being curious about all things American, inquired why they had done it. “Because we save three minutes on » replied the American Republican). The Jap was silent for a long time. Then he asked quletly: “But what do you do with the three minutes?” To the American, a “typical New Yorker,” that question was the height of absurdity. He hardly considered it worthy of an answer. But to a really philosophic mind the Jap's question was pregnant with meaning. 1In fact, | it might be taken as an unusually | keen comment on American life. People save time in this country, oceans of it. But what do they do with the time? Do they use it for | purposes really worth while? Do they | turn it into genuine, lasting human | values?
