Y, OCTOBER 6, 1916 when it was first presented and its passage was eagerly sought by Pres- ident Wilson. He was the leader of the opposition to the measure among the democrats and contributed ma- terially to the efforts of the republi- cans in bringing about its defeat. His opposition to the so called eght hour bill was equally pronounced and he displayéd his disapproval most em- phatically not only by refusing to vote for the measure which the party lead- eors had agreed to support, but he re- fused to slen the bill as president pro tem.,, of the senate and overcame this duty which would naturally devolve upon one in such a position by nam- ing an acting president pro tem. The strength of the democratic par- ty in the senate will not be lessened in numbers by bis death since that state will elect another democrat to succeed him, but Arkansas will have difficolty in selecting another senator who will measure up to*Senator Clarke 2s an independent legislator. His death is therefore a severe loss to the coun- try as well as the state. % M'GRAW’S COMPLAINT. From outside indications, at least, there is nothing to indicate but what the Boston team in the American league and the Brooklyn team in the National leazue have won their Te- spective league’'s pennants and won them fairly. They have played won- derful baseball and though the race was not won until the schedule was nearly finished there was nothing ua- til the home stretch had been struck which indicated for a moment that any unfair means had been used by which the much coveted honor was secured. In the case of Boston there is now no question but what it won because it was the best team. Even in the case of Brooklyn it will be difficult to convince the most of the fans that there was anything wrong in that game which finally decided the cham- pionship, but the statements of Mana- ger McGraw of the New York Nation- als has cast a suspicion which is of course most unpleasant to the win- ners, to the leazue management and to all baseball lovers in general. That his claims are those which might be chalked up against a hard loser is en- tirely probable, but even so any league or any team would prefer that there should be no grounds whatever for the assertion that one team had favored another in a manrer which would “Why, yes, as you say, I did get back a little sooner than I expected,” laughed Mrs. Simmons, in answer to the caller's question. “I was quite near town, however, and I could come home in a short time~ and without effort:” “Wo haven't been able to- get away yet” Mrs. Simmon's caller said. “But When we do go we shall go where we can be cool, even if the place is not one of those where you have to epend all_your time dressing.” “I was in one of the subuybs where my sister lives,” Mrs, Stmmons ex- plained. “She has just bullt a home out there and it has so happened that I had never been out to see her. She wrote In asking me to come when the heat was so bad here, you remember. She knew that I must be pining for the fresh, cool air of the country and the products cf their garden. 1 had heard a great deal about all the won- derful berries and things that they expected to have and it made me eager to go. I have always thought that there was nothing like having things fresh from your garden.” “FHow true! Thee vegctables in the city have quite a different flavor,” the caller agreed. “And then thcre is al- ways such a pleasure in picking the things yourself. You quite feel as if you had made them.” “Yes, that's what I thought,” sald Mrs. Simmons. “And I was_anxious to get away from brick buildings and enpoy the breeze.” “It sometimes seems as though the buildings were actually breezing you into a sort of prison,” the caller said. “That's what I tell my husband when he objects to going away somewhere You see he doesn’t realize it, heing downtown all day where he is busy and hasn't time to look at the walls.” “I was especially glad to accept my sister’s invitation because they were doing so much building_ here on our street,” Mrs. Simons said. “It was that new block of apartments down the road. And T was €0 cross to think that th ad torn down two houses to put it up_that I sort of wanted to run away. Mr. Simons was away on a short rrip and I hated to stay alone,anyhow. “The village certainly looked pretty tovme after I got there, although it took me an endless time to get to it fter I left the troliey I had to walk here “Trains are hard to get used to in the_country,” said the caller. “Yes, we mnoticed it. There were no movies in the village and Jean lives too far out to come to things in Chi- cago, €0 we sat around and watched the fireflies and hoped for a breeze that didn’t come. But, if that eve- ning was bad, the night in that awful ovenlike bedroom was worse, 1 don't think I closed my eyes all night. In the morning while I was hurrying to get dressed I saw that the men were starting to mend the road out in front of Jean's and I knew what the pro- ceeding meant. The dus: and con- confusion were so annoying that day and for two days thereafter that Jean and I had to come to town and g0 shopping. You see, there was a_stonc crusher working and then asphalt was laid down steaming hot as soon as the roadway was ready. “Altogether it was terrible, but I stuck until yesterday, when I pack- ed up and came home. I came to the conclusion that I did not appreciate life in country that one had to come to town to get away from and prefer- red to stay where I could get.a lake breeze and sleep in a room somewhat cooler than a furnace. My grocery boy summed it up this morning when he said, ‘Cool, is it? Why, ma'am, in the country there ain't even no shade!" Poor fellow!” “Dear me,” jhe caller said uneasily as she rose to go. ‘I hope my hus- band doesn’t have a talk with you be- we leave.

He endeavored to seduce the chiefs and stir up dissatisfaction in the Sudan and flouted repeated of- ficial warnings sent to him. Finally, at the instigation of enemy agents, he made preparations for offensive action against the loval tribesmen. He pub- licly declared a “Jehad” or religious war, and announced his intention of | invading Sudan territory after the | rains.

These hopes have not been realized.” The ‘oniy conclusion to be reached from such a declaration is that in France it is considered that President Wilson's policy in regard to Mexico is a fallure. Instead of brinzing about the establishment of peace in that re- pu through our display of confi- dence in Carranza it has resulted oth- erwise. Not only is Carranza failing to protect American rights but he has launched out into a policy of confisca~ tion which makes France and the other European nations sit up and take notice, and it is natural that they should criticise the handling of the affairs by the United States since it was at the administratlon’s request that they joined in the recogpition of Carranza. SAFETY FIRST IMPERATIVE. The city of Bridgeport is much aroused over the death of a teamster at one of its railroad crossings. There appears to be some question as to whether the crossing is a public or a private one, but from the facts at hand it is generally accepted that the driver and the engineer were unaware of the presence of the other until it was too late to avold the collision. This has resulted in an investiga- tion being started which will probably v followed by steps which will go a long way towards the prevention of further fatalities at that point by the sstablishment of guards of some kind. But the Bridgeport crossing is prob- ably no different than many others which exist throughout the state and which are a constant peril to those who use them. Other citles unques- sionably have grade crossings which sught to be eliminated, even as that one should be, and particularly so when there is much traffic at such points. There are so many of them that it is difficult to say which should be the first to be removed, but until the time comes that they can be made safe the protection of mankind calls for the placing of signals, the erection of gates or the establishment of guards of some kind which will give warn- ing.” At the same time there is a re- sponsibility which must be assumed by each and everyone who has to cross the track of a railroad or a trolley line. This is pointed out in an em- phatic manner by every fatality that occurs. It s too late of course to do anything for those killed but it is not too soon to take steps, or to give that cooperation which will reduce the danger in the future. A LOSS TO THE COUNTRY. By the death of Senator James _ Clarke the state of Arkansas has lost ‘& fearless legislator. Of him it can said that he had a mind of his own that he was not driven about by a party whip. This wag evidenced _many times during his career in the ‘upper house of congress and strik- S0 in the last two sessions. He a strong opponent of the ship Dbill and took a prominent His policy of friendliness to all western nations was strictly observed but he did not leave the position of Japan at all misunderstood. He was first of all for Japan but he believed that it should profit from the experi ence, social and political, of western civilization. How much of a change in the policy of that nation will be made by the selection of his successor remains to be seen. It is a matter in which all nations are naturally inter- ested. EDITORJAL NOTES. That phrase “too proud to fight” will never prove popular with Young America. The man on the corner says: There are few times when the weather is so lovely that the people fail to notice it. King Constantine must appreciate each day what he lost when he ac- cepted the resignation of Premier Venizelos. It makes little difference to the kleptomaniac whether it is a stickpin or an automobile, everything goes that Is movable. That must make Carranza rather sick when he hears about American investors getting ready to put $60,- 000,000 into China. Nothing bas been heard of late to substantiate that report given out some time ago that the Austrians were leaving Trieste. Even though they claim to be block- Ing it, there is something about that Russian drive which is not exactly pleasing to the Teutons. If your predictions did not come out right relative to the pennant winners, there still remains a chance to make up for it by picking the world’s cham- pions. The Teutons under General von Mackensen are giving up those Ru- manian strongholds with less resist- ance than they encountered from those who first abandoned them. Inasmuch as the Germans lose one or more Zeppelins every time an alr attack is made upon London they may yet come to the conclusion that the results are not worth the expense. Even though they may not be able or willing to forget, it is apparent all the same that the only living ex-pres- idents are of the same mind when it comes to the republican candidate and principles. There is a lot of worry over the fact that the Bremen has gone astray, but no one appears to be greatly ex- erpised over the fact that the .equi- noctial storm is way off schedule and no where in sight. That prohibitionist candidate for governor in Massachusetts who de- clared that the contest in that -state lies between him and the democratic nominee, must have been a bull mooser at some time or other. sake of giving us a concert.” POLITICAL Doesn’t Meet Issue Squarely. President Wilson, in his talks on the Adamson bill, ‘did no: meet the issue squarely. He dscussed it as an eight-hour measure, caiculated to ben- efit_the highly paid railroad men by shortening the working day. He ig- nored the fact that it places no ljm- itations whatever upon the number of —the men may work as long as please. What the Adamson bill is to give ten hours' pay for eight hours' service and extra pay for over- time. Its only purpose is to compel the public to give the engineers, firc- men and trainmen a twenty-five per cent. raise in wages and without in- quiry as to the justice of the claim for more money. The ignom:inious failure of the New York strike proves thai men who are well paid are not disposed to _quit work when told to do 5o by their lead- ers. It seems reasonably certain that if President Wilson had taken the manly course in dealing with the brotherhoods the four men would not have cared to call a strike, becauee the men were not anxious to lose their big wages and public sentiment was overwhelmingly against a railroad walkout. A little courage would have saved the President the humillation of evading the issue created by the Adamson bill. The railroad men knew the Presi- dent when their bluff was made. Did he not say there are times when a man may " be “too proud to fight?” Their belief that he would tamely surrender at the first threat was cor- rect. Probably there would have becn no strike tallc if a_stronger man had been in the White House—Providence sulletin. Of the Highest Moment. It is very likely that Mr. Fairbanks touched upon the dominant thouglit of men’s minds as this campaign wears on to its close when he asked if the nation wants to choose the dem- ocratic party as the agency for indus- trial preparedness at the close of the European war. Where shall we' go to find a theme that touches more closely the busi- ness and bosoms of our entire pop- ulation? There is. not a vocation or a form of investment but even now trembles as it contemplates, not only the conscious and organized attacks of European nations upon our trade facilities and _ opportunities abroad, but also the inevitable pressure upon our producers occasioned by the ne- cessities of those impoverished peo- ples to market their wares outside their boundaries and to safeguard their home industries from our ex- ports. To any enterprise looking to the successful resistance of such antago- nistic tariff and economic_undertak- ings by the nations of Furope, the democratic party, by training, tradi- tion and local prejudices is unalter- ably opposed. Any step it takes will be against its will, certain to be awkward, burgling and probably in- sincere and purposely inefiective.

In the moun- tainous areas of the island are many fertile valleys. “The town of Macomer is the cen- ter of a regicn where many fine horses are bred for the Italian army, as are also e small ponies used in Naples. Cagliari, at the southern end of the island, is the principal seaport of Sardinia, and is often visited for a few hours by tourists taking the weekly steamer from Genoa and Liv- orno to Tunis. The bay of Cagliari is most impressive. On the right and left as you enter are hilis, with moun- tains in the distance, while rising up from the lowlands directly opposite the entrance is the city, on a_rocky hill 460 feet high. The top of this hill is encircled by a massive wall, built by the Pisans jn the 13th centu At two of the angles rise the towers of the Lion and the Elephant, but of the tower of the Fagle, which completed the triangle, only the base remains. In the center of these fortifications is the old town. On the slopes of the hill outside the walls is built the mod- ern city of 53,000 inhabitants, the largest in Sardinia. The entire pop- uviation of the island is cstimated at 796,000, o density -of population of 85 per square mile; -that is a much lower figure than in any other part of Italy. ‘Among the objects Bistorically i teresting in Cagliari are the rock-cut tombs on the hiliside below the Cas- tello. There are probably of the same perfod as the nuraghi, the famous prehistoric truncated cones 30 feet in diameter at the base and built by the men of the Rronze Age. “Tre ‘muraghi’ were undoubtedly fortified habitations. They are usu- ally situated in commanding positions at the entrance to tablelands, near the fords of rivers, or on almost in- accessible mountain peaks and within signaling distance of one another. Traces of at least 500 of these remains have been found. ‘The ancient tombs of the inhabi- tanis of the ‘nauraghl’ are usually found near them. These are called the ‘tombs of the glants’ and are 3 1-2 feet wide and from 30 to 40 feet long, with a roof of flat slabs or rocks and with the eides made of the slabs or of rough walling. The bodies were prob- ably arranged in a sitting position. In front of the tombs are circles atout 40 feet in diameter surrounded by stones; these were, no doubt, used for sacrifices and burlal rites. “To get an insight into the life of the inhabitants of this isolated island, one should visit its villages. It is in the entire eastern half, with its moun- tainous valleys and ~viilages, where the real Sards now live. Here one will find them good looking and in £00d health, generous, hospitable, hon- orable and’ quite poor. Politeness is carried almost to an extreme. Often as one rides through the small vil- lages the women, children and the old men sitting at the doorsteps rise and wish you a 'buon viaggio'; or if it happens to be‘noon, some may wish a refre: |rades might come tha cou Shell Rescued a Man.
