It is a Dit disconcerting = to. that dful of Massachusetts i ‘the ‘futility of it even'if they are un- willing to and he apparently realizes that the best interests of the state will be served by shutting up shop and devoting their efforts where they will do the most good. This is the attitude which other directors of that party have taken and have been free to declare, The fact of the matter is. that the great ma- |3 Jority of the falthful have-long since Seen the error of thelr way and re- turned to the republican ranks. They have had g sufficient demonstration of the services they were rendered as & democratic aid, and while that does not necessarlly cast any reflections upon the ability and sincerity of Mr. Bird, who.it is agreed would make an efficient head of the state govern- ment, the last election showed where the sentiment among the progressives of that state lles. Mr. Bird's declination knocks the Props out from under the. tottering re- mains of the buil moose. Their speed and strength s long since spent and in Massachusetts, as elsewhere, their logical place is back where they can be of service to themselves and the commonwealth, and that is in. the ranks of the republican party. Those who are holding out for anything else are simply standing in their own light. GROUNDLESS PLEA, Becker, the ex-lleutenant of the New York police force, has been given every unity to prove his innocence In connection with the charges that were brought against him. He was given a full and fair trial and when the jury that heard the facts in his case de- clared. himPguilty, it was In accord- ance with the facts. He was given everyiconsieration under the law as the review of the case by the higher courtshas: disclosed. Thus' there was no reason for in- terfering with the verdict and sen- tence. They' are in accordance with the crime and his plight is no differ- ent than that of others who have pre- ferred to transgress the law, instead of obey-it, except that being invested with authority to administer the law he should have known better than to have been mixed up in any such af- fair. If anything, there was less ex- cusefor him than for his hirelings. No effortiis being spared, however, to save his life, but there can be no surprise at the action of Justice Hughes of the United States supreme court in refusing to grant a writ of error, which would take his case be- fore the highest court in the land. There exists no doubt as to his act and there is, as the justice declares, no ground for granting the appeal. Becker chose to toy with the law, fully The crime was all the gréater because he was a police officlal and as the result of his foolhardiness he must pay the penalty. Becker-himself is the most EDITORIAL NOTES. From all appearances Von Jagow belleved that all that was necessary was to please Bryan. From the receptions which are being given the Liberty bell it is all that it is cracked up to be.

I wasn't—when the s&ame limou- sine stopped in front of the shop an hour later and the old gentleman and a sunny haired girl came into the store.

When he saw the Toses and freesias that I put together he grinned like a schoolboy. ““Why, that'~ bully!’ he said. T had no idea I could get anything half so pretty.

To have among its citizens a Presi- dent or an ex-president is a very rare distinction for a state in these days. Connecticut could hardly hope to have either by birth. It has one by his own free cholce. Of course he is without hesitation or question the state’s most distinguished. citizen, perhaps the na- tion’s most distinguished citizen. If he will accept it, Mr. Taft should be named for the Panama _exposition honor.—New Haven Register. Now we are the busiest city in the United States. "~ For all of which we are duly thankful. There are no signs as yet, that we intend to lose our head about it. Unless there is a marked change in judgment there is no. evidence of ‘any intent to give up discretion. The laudations and mag- nifications poured out in other cities will hardly tempt us from the path of soundness into the glowing but decidedly risky ‘road ~of - speculative booming.

Anyway, I love them all!”—Chicago News- THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society Stelvio Pass—Over one of the most difficult mountain passes in Europe Stelvio Pass, an Italian column of in- vasion is reported to be pushing its dangerous and .painful advance. This ¢ way is described in today’'s war primer of the National Geographic so- ciety, and the description will explain to Americans why the progress of an invader over this path must necessari- 1y be slow and made only at dreadful st. “Stelvio Pass, where the highest wagon road in all Burope takes its course between Italy and Austria near the borders of Switzerland, begins. its climb among a wild tangle of hills, plunges through a savage ravine, and struggles tortuously out again, over a tossing sea of rocks, writhing like a monster serpent in agony, now going forward, now doubling back upon it- self, It is filled throughout its course with sharp hairpin turns, as it lifts jtselt ever higher up the mountain ledge, until it reaches a point 9,200 feet above the sea. “The summit of this pass is the highest point in the world accessible to carriages; it reaches 780 feetgigh- er than the estimated line of perpetual snow in the latitude of Stelvio, There is an indescribable grandeur about the scenery at the summit, and, also, an jindescribable bleak, savagery in its manner, which, as a 'war theatre, must make the effect appalling. The mag- nificent Ortler-Spitz -commands _the way, with its massive brother crags. The smash and echo of mountain ar- tillery among these awful rocks is al- most unthinkable. “Robbed in eternal snow, the for- bidding Ortler-Spitz sends 'enormous glaciers into.the valley below- the road. Great rock masses, themselves the size of mountains, stream in rugged, brok- on black-scarred patterns around the way. By the side of he deep ravin into which the glaciers sink, the road- way, often fascinating in its ragged sheerness, is carrled up Wwithin *a stone’s throw of the. glaciers, and s bordered with pinnacled rocks. For- merly, thig was the most dangerous of the passages of the Alps, swept by un- expected avalanches, scoured by bitter winds, and often overlald with treach- erous ‘ice ana fallen debris. Avalanche galleries, cut through the solid rock or constructed of masonry, have made it more secure, protecting those using muzzled during the hay fever season. W. L. N. Maine, July 13, 1915.

ANNIVERSARY NUMBERS. The -Semi-Centennial of The -Nation. Every publication has reason to be proud upon reaching its semi-centens nial and none more so than ThesNa- tion, a weekly New York publication which presents a edition in recognition of the anniversary in its issue of July Sth. Throughout its history it has been a magazine which has dealt with fundamental issues and it has numbered many men of nation- al prominence mmang its editors and contributors. Special articles in the issue which deal with the existence of The Nation are of especial inter- est and the well-known magazine starts on its second half century with the best of prospects and the best | wishes of its many friends, The Scientific American’s Seventy Years. Established in 1845 this is the sev- entieth anniversary of The Scientific American and it celebrates the occa- Sioneby a speclal edition in its June issue in which a comprehensive re- viéw is given of the progress of science during the lifetime of the periodieal, It deals with conditions as they were when that journal entered she fleld and makes the interesting comparison with conditions of today with the observa- tion that invention despite the great advance that has been made s yet young. The issue discloses the enterprise of tts management and as is usual shows it at the top notch of usefulness and destined to keep on meeting the needs in its chosen field. The anniversary number is one that will long serve as a_reference storehouse in many lines of inventions, Stories of the War - S No Hunting In France. The recurrence of the date for the open hunting season in France, when, in past years, the trains are filled with men accompanied by dogs and armed with guns game bags and all the paraphernalia of the chase, has given rise to a popular protest against anyore indulging in this sport, not- hstanding that there had been no vidence tkbat the Frenchmen at this time had any thought of hunting. Etienne Clementel, chairman of committee on agriculture in. ¢l Chamber of Deputies, has formally protested to the minister of agricul- Make Your Dollar Produce More ina New York City Hotel $2.50PER DAY $3.00 := ‘A pleasant room with private bath, (Novenereom, but ene hundred of them.)

The Tribuna prints a story, vouched for by mn ‘“eyewit- ness,” describing m‘.:t the narrow escapes the monarch has had. While directing _artillery fire against Austrian positions, the king asked an artillery officer in charge of a battery: “Do_you suppose you that hut over there, from which comes the fire against the contingent directly below us? It seems to me im- possible. A moment later the hut was a heap of ruins. “Now 1 can go,” excl latmed Vietor Frmznnu-l, as he grasped the officer's and Soon afterward the king saw one of his generals and described enthusias- tically the work of the Italian bat- tery, giving the name of the officer ai- recting its fire. can get at Bryan’s Future Career.
