ANOTHER CHANCE FOR ECONOMY It was only a short time ago that the question of economy caused 2 lengthy discussion in congress of the appropriations for national river and harbor work. At that time it was con- <lusively shown that much of the work for which appropriations were sought was by no means imperative. While the projects were admitted to be wor- thy if the government was flush and had nothing better to do with its money, it was made plain that under the existing conditions they could properly be looked upon in the light of extravagance. The result was that after a long fight the unprecedented pork barrel calling for $93,000,000 in all was defeated and a substitute carry- ing $20.000,000 was adopted. Though it required some time to get congress to gee its duty aright in this matter the cutting down 'of the appropria- tion was the thing to do. Close upon the reconvening of con- #ress for the short session, there will be held the national river and harbor congress from which emanates the annual demand of $50,000,000 for the promotion of projects similar to those which it has already been found ad- visable to delay. Even though it is announced in advance that but $40,- 000,000 are to be asked this session it is quite evident that the conditions which prevalled a month or so ago stiil prevail today, and with nearly a hundred mi'lion dollars war tax being collected from the people for the cov- cring of the deficlency in the national treasury, it is an excellent time to call a halt on this new pork barrel. COLORADO STRIKE ADJUSTERS With a realization that the situation in the Colorado coal mining region degerves something more than neg- lect, it is encouraging that the presi- dent has not abandoned his effort to straighten out the tangle despite the failure of the endeavor to secure a truce. President Wilson has not abandon- ed confldence in his truce plan by the naming of the board of ‘strike adjus- ters, for they are the very board which the terms of the agreement contemp- lated. That they shou’d be named and e evallable for service before the adoption of any agreement between the miners and the operators may serve to overcome some of the ob- stacles which have arisen to the declaration of a truce. Surely if- 'ih! mine operators have good reason for the objections which they make to the proposed truce, the board should give them careful consideration for the and nes: well as the efforts underway for the strengthening of the state’s authority directed to the same end something in the way of lmpmvment ought to be accomplished. AMBASSADOR HERRICK good to see the tributes that are be- ing paid to the high class which has been rendered by Myron T Herrick as ambassador. to France. It is a most flattering endorsement of the good judgment of President Taft in appointing him to that important post in the early part of his admin- istration,. and to President Wilson for the retentlon of his services during nearly two Years of his administra- tion. The one regret in connection with all the honor which is being showered by high officials upon Mr. Herrick is that his good work, which has characterized his entire term, and especially since the opening of the war, has not {mpressed the administration with the advisability of breaking its political debt paying policy and giv- ing first consideration to the nation’s requirements by keeping him at the post regardless of his politics. The new ambassador has had op- portunity to gain some insight into the duties he assumes and reference is made to the fact that Mr. Sharp not only has experience but a lking for the work, yvet it cannot obliterate the fact that it was all a part of the democratic program. His qualifica- tions didn't stand out so prominently but what the post was offered to two others before he was looked upon as the man for the important position in the dip'cmatic corps. Mr. Herrick has rendered invaluable service and is deserving of all the praise which is being bestowed upon him. His work has been a credit to his country and to himself. Tor the interests of those he represents, it is hoped that Mr. Sharp will be equally successful, even though the method of naming dlplomats is denounced. ONLY ONE THING TO DO The call has gone forth for a con- ference of progressive delegates at Chicago for the determination of fu- ture plans. What the outcome will be is problematical. It is not pos- sible of the same answer as if the question was what the cutcome ought to be. Tt ousht not to require a micro- scope to discover the attitude of the great majority of those who formerly made up that party as express- ed at the recent election. There are a few bright spots which may cause the light of hope to fiicker along for a while vet, but looking the situation square in the face there, is only one answer. Those leaders who are for the continuance of the pariy have made great sacrifices and die hard when it comes to throwing over their cherished ambitions with which they have fai'ed to make any lasting impressions upon the rank and file of voters. Their course has shown the party not only to be needless but a detriment to the very interests of those who were rallied to its support. The natural thing is that it has been deserted by great numbers. It has not been demonstrated that either the party, its leaders or the policies are a bit better than what has been found purpose of overcoming them and thusi shot ” : fault with In the old parties. It has in fact moved along the same lines and employed the same methods, re- gardless of its claims. Those who go to Chicago may have a love feast, -pat themselves on the back and jolly each other along into the belief that there is need for their existence but the best guide which they can take for their action as to the future is the extensive desertion which has taken place in the ranks, ‘both before and since election.. It is a sure sign of the end and the only thing to do is disband. EDITORIAL NOTES It looks as if the quickest way for Germany to send its army to Dun- kirk is by submarine. Secretary Bryan should have re- membered that he met a good many cousins on those Chautauqua tours. It may be a surprise to some people to learn that the Monroe Doctrine can not be relied upon to do everything. There may be such, but it would be interesting to hear from the coal mining region that never had a strike. The man on the corner says: Idle rumors-have nothing to do with pros- perity any more than idle workmen do. There are some facts about the Au- daclous which Great Britain is appar- ently withholding until the end of the war. The automobile may not be suscep- tible to hoof and mouth disease, but it oueht not to escape a frequent in- spection. Davy Jones isn't worried very much as to whether it will be a submarine or a dreadnought. Iie takes every- thing that comes his way. ‘The foot and mouth disease is one of the things about which there will ‘be no objectlon if only a very few localities get publicity thereby, The announcement that thirteen tons of cizarettes are to be sent to the French soldiers ought to be good news to Bgypt. Or are -they made In America? The dissolution of the progressive party ought not to require much dis- cussion from the delegates at Chicago, since the party is going to remain at Oyster Bay. Those progressives who think there is still something courageous for them to do must realize that it takes cour- age to put an end even to a miser- able existence.

From dark forest quite close to him a woman all dressed in white, with long golden hair enveloping her slender form like a mantle. Hotnog saw her open her arms wide. “Allstar,” she cried in : voice of despair and threw herself int. the dark waters. The sound of her fal awoke the whole troop, Without . moment’s hesitation Hotnog put spur to his horse and in a moment the stec was swimming toward the floatin. form. When his men arrived Hotnog wi. already getting ashore, a white forn. resting across the horse in front of “Alistar,” they heard her whisper. Dt The young woman was resting on a bed of carved ebony, looking as frail as a flower. At her head she saw Het- man Hotnog. “Are you feeling betteer, Ircne?” “Yes, 1 thank yon/” “Tell me what was the sorrow that drove you to seek death.” She closed her eyes, as if she were looking into an abyss. “Listen, then. I am the daughter of General Ionita. My father has gone to war. I was$ alone with my mother. The Turks invaded our house and we fled. At the end of a week my mother died and then what did I have to l!ve for2” Hotnog felt greatly relieved. He thought he understood, but suddenly sadness once more darkened his soul. “Alistar,” he said. “Tell me, Irene, who is Alistar, whose name is on your lips always.” The young girl was startled. eyes opened wide and she ask: “Did I say anything about him? ‘No, nothing but his name.” 'he Domnitza, controlling herselr with an effort, said:— *“Alistar is my brother, whom I have lost, an® who is now wandering about homeless.” Hotnog, overwhelmed with happi- ness, touched Irene’s naked arm with his forehead and whispered:— “If you only knew how I love you?” o At the foot of a mountain_covered with wood ‘stood Hetman Hotnog’s castle. He arrived there at sundown, and goldiers within opened the gate to the iMaster and his bride. After a meal of welcome they were sitting together in the park. ‘Wherever I go,” he said, “I carry you with me in my soul, and when I am fighting in battle it will make me invincible.” “And I shall be here unhappy and alone.” The Dominitza leaned her fair head against his shoulder and whispered: “You have saved my life.” “And you have made life worth liv- inz to me. We are even.” The tocsin rang. “I must go,” he cried, and tore him- self out gf her arms. As they hurried toward the gate the Domnitza pointed to the ruin of a dis- tant castle and asked: “What is that ruin?” Hotnog’s face darkened as he an- swered:— ‘Do not ask me, I beg you.” “Oh, do tell me” “Irene, nothing has happened there, or rather it is a legend, a very old legend. You know that for centuries my ancestors have served the Czar in war. During the reign of Stephen the Great my ancestors were made Hot- nogs, and it is to their valor that I owe my name. My ancestors used to live in that old castle.

The town is well-built and has extensive establishments for the manufacture of linen, velvet and starch, and also_oil mills, breweries, salt-refineries, wax- works, tanneries, tile and brick works. ttle and grain are its principal ar- ticles of commerce. Originated from a monastery built by St. Maurand in 674, the town was annexed by France in 1667. Its population is about 4,000. Roubaix—A thriving, well-built in- dustrial city of France, two and a half miles from the Belgian border, and six miles northeast of Lille, on the Roubaix Canal- The town is one of the chief seats of the French tex- tile industry, more than 55,000 peo- ple being employed in its mills. Its rate of increase in population has been more than 1,000 people annually for the last century. The city now has a population of about 130,000. In addi- tion to its textiles, Roubalx produces machinery, rubber goods and beer. Beise—A small town of northern France, eight miles east of Reims and 21 miles west of Chalons, picturesque- 1y situated on a high plateau between the Suippes and Vesle rivers. The town is practically the same as it was 75 years ago, its public buildings bus- iness houses and dwellings having un- dergone no material change, and the number of its inhabitants not having increased more than 300. Its present population is about 1,300. The spin- ning of wool and cloth-working are the” chief industries. Malancourt—A small town of north- ern France, 11 miles east of northeast of Varennes and 13 miles west of north of Verdun, on a small tributary of the Meuse, to east of the Forest of Argonne. The town has button fac- tories mnd produces lace and em- I;r%ioden'. It has a population of about 200. uoort—A Belgian town, half a mile from the sea coast and halfway between Ostend and the French border- The town is on the Yser River. It is badly built and unbealthily situated, yet many people are attracted there every summer by its bathing facilities. The town was reduced to ruins by the English in 1383, but was rebuilt two years later, and fortified by Philip the Bold. The French captured it in 1743, 1792 _and 1794. The famous battle of the Dunes, in which Maurice of Nas- sau defeated the Spanish, was fought here in 1600. Its lighthouse was erect- ed in 1284. Shipbuilding, rope and net- making and fishing are its chief in- ?uutrles. It has a population of about ,000. Dixmude—A town in West Flanders. ‘Belgiuvm, in_ the fertile district called Freyeland, 14 miles south of Ostend and 12 miles north of Ypres, on the Yser River. It is a typical old-fash- foned Belglan place, which has changed comparatively little in the last century. In JR30 its population was 3,200; v it has a_few more than 4,000 inhabitants. Dixmude is known for its butter, cheese and beer, ang has an active trade in salt, horm and cattle. The citizens of Bruges besieged the town in 1580, and the peo- ple of Ghent stormed it a few years later. The Fren took Dixmude in 1647, 1658 and 1693.

One night they came to the foot of the Patua Moun. tains, and Hetman Hotnog, near home, could not resist the tempt- ation to visit his home- He knew the secret tuntel opening into the Dom- nitza’s bedroom, and seeing a light in the windows he passed through the tunnel and stood now bebind a cur- tain with his naked sword in his hand. He heard voices whispering, but they did not hear him. Irene was sitting in the big armchair, while Alistar was kneeling at her feet. He was pleading. “My father sent me to Poland, hop- ing that when I married the Princess I should become king, but I escaped, and, having heard where you were, I came straight to you.” “It is too late! I can never belong to you, It is enough that I have lied once. In the eyes of the Hetman you are my brother, and so you must re- main.” “Then I must go!” She nodded. “But at least let me taste the honey of your lips just once. Then I shall leave you forever.” Allstar holds out his arms. Conquer- ed by the memory of their old love, Irene closes her eves and lets Alistar kiss her lips: The Hetman cried out like a wounded beast and with all his strength let his sword fall on Alistar's arms. “I know who is to taste the honey of your lips, but it shall be no strange marauder.” With a single thrust of his sword he killed Alistar Irene lay fainting in the chair. He opened her dress and ar- rilnged her hair about her like a man- tle. “Why didn’t you tell me you were a flower, a flower with golden petals? I sha&ll" carry the honey of your lips to He arose and went into the garden. Here he picked a hive and carried it into the Domnitza’s room. The furious bees swarmed about him. Irene’s gold- en hair attracted them. Hotnog laughed. “The honey of your lips!™ For three days Irene fought the furi- ous bees. Her cries were all over the castle, while Hotnog, sword in hand, stood guard at her door. When the bees of one hive were tired he brought in another. None of the ser- vants dared ask what was going on. On the third day the Hetman, all ex- hausted, fell asleep. In his dreams he thought he heard a voice calling him. Pale and haggard he got up and stared into the darkness. A dreadful storm was raging outside, but no sound came from the Domnitza's room. “Did anyone call me Snatching a torch he ran into Irene's room. She was Iying on her bed stiff and cold in death. The Hetman dropped the torch and r\l_xshed out into the storm.—London News.

Nov. i FAMOUS TRIALS TRIAL OF ANN TURNER, In the early part of the 17th century superstition ran riot among all classes in England, and not only was the ignorant class susceptible, but the great men and the court ladies enter- tained most remarkable ideas re - ing love potions and the like. It was one of the many singular fallacies of the reign of James I The chief priestess who distributed indulgence at this time was Ann Tur- ner, who was known as the “White Witch.” She is eaid to have been a woman of remarkable beauty, and it was through this reason that she was able so completely to éarry out her work among 2 large number of follow- ers. Ann professed, among other arts, to understand how to preserve youth, to kindle love and to chill desire. One of Ann’s chief patrons was Lady Essex. From the “White WIQCh" Lady Hssex secured one philter to chill her husband’s love and another to warm the man she wished to call her lover, the BEarl of Rochester. Lady Es- sex had scant need for sorcery, for TRochester” fell an easy prey to her charms. Sir Thomas Overbury, who had hitherto concurred with Rochester and aided him in his amours, now opposed the mariage scheme. When the Coun- tess head of Overbury’s objections she regolved to destroy him. She tried VvArious means to acomplish this, and nally was able to secure Mrs. Turner to compound a poison that could be administered In small doses, with the rosult that after several months Over- bury, died. The result of this death caused the arrest of Mrs. Turner, her man Weston, and the apo Franklin, who had sold the drug. ‘The King was forced to appoint commision in inquiry into the poet’ death, and_he named the !ollowlnx Ellsmere, Lennox, Zouch and Coke, and their meetings were held in the Lord Chancelor's residence.

This confes- sion sealed the fate of many of them, and resulted in the Earl and Countees of Somerset being imprisoned for some vears in the Tower. The criminals were executed at Ty- burn. When Mrs. Turner appeared, in her yellow bands and powdered hair, before the mighty crowd, many of them wept for the beautiful thouxh fadeq creature who knew the secret ways of all human hearts. She stood on the gallows raving at the world she was about to leave, and calling down fire from heaven to consume it In the midst of sin and shame. The Earl and Lady Somerset's trial occurred later, on May 24, 1616. It was a great day in London. All private business was suspended for a time; the shops were closed and the parks deserted- The execution of Mrs. Tur- ner had occurred on Nov. 15, 1615. Turner had made herself fa- mous in the fashionable world as the inventress of a yellow starch, and, in allysion to this circumstance Lord Chief Justice Coke, who in summing up had accused her of being guilty of the seven deadly sins, also declared that she was the inventor of yellow- starched ruffs and cuffs, and that she would be the last by whom they Wwould be worn. The Chief Justice also gave strict orders that Mrs, Turner should be hanged in that attire which she had rendered fashionable. This addition to the sentence was fully carried out; and the fair demon, on the day of her execution, came to the scaffold arrayed as _if for some festive occasion. Numerous persons of quality, ladies as well as gentlemen, went in their coaches to Tyburn to see the last of Mrs. Turner. It is needless to say that the yellow ruff was never more worn from that day. The reason as- signed for the light punisment given to the Earl and Countess of Somerset seems to have been brought about by fear from the King who dreaded the revelation by his former favorite of some discreditale secret.
