Such legislation was not a partian matter. It was supported most assiduously by the republicans and was one of the non partisan bills which had been pre- sented to congress, although demo- cratic influence had prevented its passage on previcus occasions and the by the time we reached Mon Repos. “I fancled in my simple, forting supper I was anticipating. lend you, Dick, mentioned my longing for a swim. will be over in the mornin “In the morninz?

What kind of a nation does “Southerner” think we would have if his premise were true? Following that doctrine to its logical conclusion any state could secede whenever congress passed any legis- 1atidn which did not meet its approval. It would be a condition very similar to that which prevailed under the ar- ticles of confederation which preceded our present constitution and under which congress could only recommend 000 for Hughes and 189,000 for Wil- son. Pretty near a stand-off. The men of Chicago gave Hughes 15,000 plurality, which is better than the women’s 5,00, but not enough to make a great difference. The women must have been moved by very much the same influences as the men. Now, did they vote as citizens or as the mothers, sisters, daughters and wives of the men?—Waterbury American. Wide streets are an advantage to any city. In the meantime suppose Middletown undertakes a plan to stop 000, and the traveler might be de- ceived by the spectacle of its crowded covered bazaar which runs for three miles through the center of the place, dividing it into a north and -south side, yet all beyond this thoroughfare of barter is desolate and in ruins. Pal- aces, once the pride of shahs and the delight of harem favorites, are crumb- ling into decay; of tne 210 mosques scattered over the 20 square miles which the city covers only a few have retained an appreciable part of their original richness and impressive grandeur; the 150 public baths have citizens in all Persia. “Among the sights which always attract the ‘intere of travelers through Persia are ‘ispahan’s mina- rets of the 12th century, th efamous ‘shaking minarets of Guladan,’ the ruins of the old fire temple, and the still wonderfully impressive, massive- doomed mosque of Mesjid Shah.

For that reason the recent victory is complish something for the rellef of the children. There needs to be over- come the situation where thousands of illiterates are being turned into the rent of affairs, so that the step which has been taken in Washinston is only one of many which ought to follow along the same line.

The value of steel cars on fast trains has again been demonstrated in the wreck of the Adams express train which occurred at Carolina, R. I. This train was making fity miles an hour when a defective rail was struck, caus- ing the derailment and piling up of {the train and the blocking of the line for several hours. Such trouble is 'likely to be accompanied by loss of |life but that was escaped in this in- stance and the injuries which were |sustained were not serious. This may \ be attributed in a certain degree to the fact that it was not a passenger train and the number of those en- dangered was at the minimum, since tivity which he ought to be devoting to securing a common school educa- tion, Mr. Lovejoy is unquestionably right when he declares that there is a national responsibility which cannot be dodged.

Now Germany and Norway are hav- ing some words and from all accounts Norway is standing up for its rights. Minnesota might speed up a bit if it understood that the country was be- ginning to lose interest in its delayed figures.

DOLLARS BONUS regard to state rights being paramount to the question of slavery, the fact remains that the war was brought on by the slave-holding power because they could not extend their “peculiar institution” into each new state and territory and it is useless to attempt to befog the fact by bringing in the issues of a later day. The great mass of people of the north had no inten- tion or desire to interfere with slav- ery within its original confines and of slavery deliberately lunged the country into the horrors For Fattest and Big- gest Turkey Raised whole organizations, it seems, now on duty along the Mexica have never formally subscribed to i They are not obliged to accept the new form of enlistment, but it has been supposed that they would do so almost unznimously, because the present fed- eralized militia plan was adopted out of deference to the guardsmen them- selves. Many of the guardasmen, it appears, object to being liable to fed- eral service at the will of the presi- dent. Still more of them object to ob- ligating themselves for six years' ser- vice. The regular militla term has been three years. The new law pro- vides for an additional three years during which the guardsmen remain in the army reserve, subject to call. Those who do not take the cath will serve out their three-year period in the state organizations, but will not receive federal pay. It's anotrer strik- ing evidence of the inadequacy of the federal militla plan. The demand for a genuine, dependable army reserve is steadily growing.—Waterbury Republi- can.

Skilled artisans from many European countries were induced by him to settle in Ispahan and employ their talents in adding to the glory of the great capital. With the invasion of the barbar- ous Afghans under their youthful leader Mahmud, just a hundred years after the brilliant relgn of Abbas the Great, the glory of Ispahan faded rap- idly. This ruthless soldler, at the head of a desert-scorched, ragged army of less than 25000 men, mét the richly decked Persian armv of 50,000 on a plain about nine miles from _the walls of the capital.

General Sir O'Moore Cragh, the distinguished Irish “V.

With Germany on the defensive it is felt here that the enemy is no longer fight- ing to retain all he seized in the first sreat onslaught of the war, but it is rather struggling to hold as much as possible until peace shall come. There is the predicted “shortening of the western line” which Londoners con- fidently look for from day to day. On the other hand, is the statement of General Foch, the French com- mander, who declares the Germans are so tightly held in the west it is im- possible for them to either advance or retreat in any great number. “We are on them,” he said, “like a Furlough Period for Germans, This autumn is to be another fur- lough period for a good majority of the German soldiers now in the fleld, for the ministry of war has issued an announcement ~ whereby each troop commander has been instructed to send men home as fast as he possi- bly can spare them.

When they get back to the front men in all sorts of other walks of life will be sent back home, those who are married being given the preference. The minister of war especially aslks commanders to give furloughs wher- ever possible to men who have been in the fleld continuously for a year, re- gardless of their married or single state.
