Secretary Hughes as head of the de- partment of state was a logical choice and it seems probable that he will head the delegation. It is quite natu- ral that the president should desire the man who directs the foreign policies of the country to represent it at this time and as chairman of the foreign rela- tions committea of the semate Senator Ldoge will be another who is so closely n touch with the affairs of this and other nations that his services are bound to be invaluable. In the selection of Senator Under- wood it is undoubtedly true that he has been picked because of the lead sition he holds in the democr: g po- ic par- 1 there can bhe mo question but what he is well aualified to engage in tha deliberations of that gatheridg. That Elihu Root would be chosen as a member of the delegation Was an pated.

During the summer I ran across a fine piece of am- biguity in the historiesl Buria! Hill in Plymouth.; On two compahion stones was this inscription “Mother united above” and “Father partéd below.” Now that might mean above a certain lme mother was united, and below it father was parted. Probably the inscriber did not mean that but it might be so in- ferred from his language. Does it mean that father was parted about an inch below his chin where a good many men would be parted if they got their just desert? Does it mean that the parting was lower down as the result of con- tact with a buzz saw? Or does it mean that father, belng parted, is below; way down and out, in what is sometimes called the “lower regions.” Any one of these interpretations is admissable. Moral: Don't look to insoriptions on tombstones for accuracy. The writer has taken two antomobile trips to historic places in éastern Mass- achusetts and New Hampshire this sum- mer. Some of fthe homes Séen have been restful old mansions, in Which men and women liver quiet lives. But how cramped those lives were compared with ours! No railways, trolleys, automobiles, telephones, wireless, gas, electricity, and a thousand other things that enlarge the comforts of living. TalkKihg this matter over with an ex-secretary ot the state of Connecticut, I asked him this ques- tion: Has the increase ¢f the conveni- ences and pleasurés of life been attended with a corresponding increase or hu- man happiness? Without a moment's hesitation he replied: Absolutély no! Our desire for more conveniences and pleasures is bécoming insatiable, he went on to say. As a people we never grumbled so much as wa do teday, and were never so impatient with inconve- niences, was one of his pregnant sen- tences. TUnless the soufce of comfort and satisfaction i§ found within it will never be realized. It is not mecessary to have one day set apart in the year merely to inform us that we are facing a great industrial problem. Labor day is but the mildest suggestion of what the American people are up against today. It is well that we have such a day, lest “we forget.” And stand in danger of forgetting some grave things that we must not loge sight of. We must not forget that there are thousands of returned soldiers that out of employmént, and are asking es “is this the return we get ering ourselves to save civiliza- tion?” We must not close our ears to the growl that comes from the mines of West Virginia. We must remember that an industrial problem is hefé and that it will not down until it is settled right. But where is the key to the situation? Reformers claim to have it. Welfare work, profit sharing, collectivé bargain- ing, shop committees, boards of con- ciliation and arbitration claim to have it, but apart from brothérly love as laid down in the gospel there will be no solution. As we get farther away from Armistice day, Nov. 11, 1018, we aré more inclined to ask “what gid it all amount to?” No- 2s really defeated, nobody was ictorious, and nothing was per- ly settled and nobody has been converted. Germany is just as anxious to spring at the throat of Paris in 1921 as she was in 1914 the only difference being in 1914 shé thought she could get the sirangle hold, but today knows she can't. You never change the nature of a panther by holding her at bay. Read what Ludendorf, Von Goltz and Waldersee said in a meetihg at Berlin recently in an_ attempt to revive Pan Gefmanism. Millions of precious lives were sacrificed, nations madé almost bankrupt, civilization thrown into the wildest confusien, Continental Europe on the verge of distraction if mot actual star- vation, with no league of nations that cems to have any power of functioning. Again I ask what did this awful world war amount to? It was expected from the start that all sorts of devices would bé resorted to in order to defeat the. spirit and aim of constitutional prohibition. The pres- ent hue and cry about taking away the people’s liberties in prohibiting the man- facture and sale of beer for medicinal purposes is quite amusing. It is a rare piece of comic opéra. The brewers seem to be quite upset over récent con- gressional action in declaring that beer is not medicine. They are shedding croc- odile tears over Such infringement of popular rights. Now as a matter of fact beer was mever consideréd a med- icine. Long ago thirty eight common- wealths prohibited its preseription. The federal congress was wise enough that the declaration that beer was necessary as a medicine would reopen every brew- ery in the cotntry and permit them to work overtime. The vast majority of drugzists do not care to sell beer, and physicians do not care to prescribe it. It was expected that this bill would perish in congress.: Every schoolboy knows that thers 1s a famous spot in Charlestown, Mass., called Bunker's Hill. He may not be fam- iliar with the fact that on the edge of Hampstead Heath, an open field near London, is a little hill called Ruakers Hill (please mark the difference). Be- cause of the near coincidence of the names a notable group of English people has taken steps to purchase the space for, the purpose of making it a memo- rml park and placing thereon a menu- ment. Upon this monument will be placed a tablet contatning the namas of the Pritish soldiers ‘and the Colonfal troops which fought side by side in the famous historic battTe in the early part of the revolutionary war. We believe that all such devices tend to cement the £00d feeling that exist between the twe great branches of the Anglo-Saxen fam- ily. The suggested inscription is very felicitous: “The one Bunker's Hill tells of division; the other Bunkers Hill will tell of union.” The Christian press has been saying a good deal lately on the scope and char- acter of preaching. And it is just as united on it as it ever has been on any- thing it ever tackled. Some journals seem to think that the minister ought to confine himself between the Creation and the first century A. D. To be later than this is to overstep his natural boundaries. To be later than Josephus is to imper: the profession. To introduce any mun- dane subject is to besmirch his reputa- tion. Other perlodicals are just as m- sistent {hat the preacher shall live con- siderably this side of the Deluge, and shall make vital the things in Which people living .in_this age are interested. They contend that if men and woimen are not living right they ought to be brought up with a jolt. If a preacher is to make his pulpit a throne he can not turn it into a drug store to dispense celestial chlorofarm. the nation or the community has been outraged with & great wrong it must be dealt with without kid gloves. If the preacher lives in a dead past, his people will Be apt to continue “dead in trespasses and sins.” During the last week the writer has been through that sectlon where Wolfboro is sitnated in New Hampshife. It was reported that the community was thrown Into the greatest excitement in its his- tory over the fact that a poor, homeléss boy in his teens, searching for work and finding mone, in his despefation Stole a :few necessary articles of apparel. The brave sherift of the section has orgafizedl a posse of 500 equally brave men to hound the frightened boy till captured. He has ordered the men to shoot the ter- rible criminal at sight. That is manl New Hampshire, w ghoot down a poor homeless, ragged oy for petty thaft, and gesses, “having maturely weighed and considered how advantageous a quoifé current would be to this colony, and the great wants and miseries which do daily happen unto it-by the sole de- pendéncy upon tobacco, have at length resolved and enacted” that a mint bé established, says the Guarant News. The resolve never was ac#d upon, however, and the honor of setting up the first mifit fell to Massaghusetts Bay. In 1652 the gemeral court at . Bosten decidea to zstablish a mint. Ten years befors an attémpt had been madeé to fix the value of all coins in circulation, an attempt that did not succeed because of the général practice of cutting and clip- Bing eoins. TIn the act of establishment the coins to be made at the mew mint were to be “flat and square” and the denomihations were fixed at twelve- Penece, sixperice and threepence. Depos- itors of bullion were permitted “to ses the same melted, refined and assayed.” In 1680 TLord Baltimore introduced #hillings, sixpence and groats of Eng- lish manufacture into his colony, Caré- then keep silence year after year befors the pilfering of a mighty railroad cor- poration !

ODD iNCIDENTS IN AMERICAY HISTORY THE PENNAMITE AND YANKEE WAR The charter bounds of Connecticut ex- tended west to the Pacific <cean. This would have carried Conecticut over a strip covering the mortherny two-fifths of the present State of Pennsylvania. Almost immediately after the grant of the chartef, Charles granted to his brother James the Dutch colony of New Nethérlands, thus fterrupting the con- tinuity of Cofinecticut. Rafher than re- sist the King's brother, Conecticut agréed and ratified the interruption. In 1661 a more serious interference took province of Peansylvania; extending westward five degrees between the for- tieth and forty third parallels of north latitude. Under the final compromise of Penn’s boundary dispute with Balti- mote, the northern line of Pensylvanian was moved southward to latitude 42 de- grees instead of 43 degrees; but it still absorbed five degrees in length of the Conecticut western belt. The territory taken from Connecticut by the Penn grant would be bounded southerly on the present map by a straight line entering Penasylvania about Stroudsbourg, just north of the Delaware Water Gap, and running west through Hazleton, Catawissa, Clearfield and New Castle, taking in all the northern coal iron and oil fields. It was a roval heritage, but the Penns made no attémpts to s it, and Con- necticut, until the fhiddle of the eight- ennth century, had no energy to spare from the task of winning her home terri- tory out of the fire, as it were, by hard blows and for small recompense. This task had been fairly well done by 1780, and in 1753 a movement to col- onize in the Wycring Munty was set on foot in Windham county. It spread by degrees until thé Susquehanna C pany was formed the nest year, with nealy 700 mainbers, of whom 638 were of Connecticut. Their agents made a treaty with the Five Nations July 11, 754, by which they bought for $10,000 a tract of land beginning at the forty first degree of latitude, the southerly boundary of Conecticut; thence runing Horth, following the line of the Susque- hafina at a distance of ten miles from It, to the present northern boundary Pensylvania; thencé 120 miles w thence sotith to the forty first degree and back to the point of beginhing. In May 1755, the Connecticut General Assembly expressed its acquiescence in the schéme if the King should approve it; and it approved also a plan of Samuel Hazard of Philadelphia, for another colony to be placed éast of Pensylvania and with- in the chartered fimits of Connecticut. The court might have taken stronger ground than this; for, at the meeting of commissioners from the various colonies at Albany, in 1754, the representatives of Pennsylvania being present, no op- position was made to a resolution that Connecticut and Massachusetts, by char- ter right, extended west to the South sea. The formation of the Susquehanna Company brought out objections from Pennsylvania, but the company sent out surveyors and plotted its tract. Settle- ment_was begug on the Delaware river in 1757, and in‘the Susquehana purchase in 1762. This was a_temporary settle- ment, the settlers going home for the winter. A permanent venture was made on next ear on the flats below Wilkesbarre but it was destroyed by the Indiang the same vear. In 1768 the company mark- ed out five townships and sent out forty settlers for the first, Kingston.. Most of them, including the famous Capt. Ze- bulon Butler, had served in the French and Irilan war; and their first step was to build the Forty Fort. The Penns. after thelr usual policy, had refused to sell lands but had leased plots to a num- ber of men on condition f their defend- ing the lands from the Connecticut claim- ants. The forty Conectlcut men found these in possession when they arrived in Feb- ruary, and a war of writs and arrests followed for the remainder of the year. The Pennsylvania men had one too pow- erful argument, in the shape of a four- pounder gun, and they retained posses- sion at the end of the year. Farly in 1770 the forty reappeared, captured the four-poundér, and secured possession For a time in 1771 the Pennsylvania men returned put up a fort of their own the number of the Commecticut men was rapidly increasing and they remained masters untll the opening of the Revolu- tion, when they numbered some 3,000, But for the Revolution the check oc- casioned by the Wyoming massacre, and the appearance of a poptlar govern mRnt in place of the Penns, nothing could have prevented the cstablishment of Connecticut’s authority over all the re- gions embraced in her western claims. The artlele of confederation went into force early in 1781. One of their provi- sions empowered congress to appoint courts of arbitration to decide disputes between states as to boundaries. Penn- sylvania at once availed herself and ap- plied for a court to decide the Wyoming dispute. Connecticut asked for time in order to get papers from England but congress overruled the motion and or- Gered the coust to meet at Trenton in Nevember 1782. After forty one days of argument, the court came to the unan- imous conclusion that Wyoming, or the Susquehanna district, belonged to Penn- sylvania and net to Connecticut. The unfortunate Wyoming settlers, de- serted by their own state, and left to the mercy of rival claimants, had a hard time of it for years. The militia of ‘the neighbéring counties of was mustered to enforce the writs of Pennsylvania courts; thé property of the Commecticnt men was destroyed, thsir fences were cast down, and their right igfrored, and Pennamite and Yankee War began. It was not until 1799 that the eontroversy came to an end by the pa &ge of an act which confirmed the title of the actual settlers.

On oné side of the kun was thé word “Fiigic” and on the bther the gats 1787. Below the dial wa& the blunt ad- monition “Mind Your Business” In that sameé vear New York pt forth a coin called a Aoubloon, Which was worth $16. A hundred years later’ a specimen was worth $500. The famous Washington cent of 1791, the coin upon which Washington déelined to permit the representation of hig head, was maae at a private mint in London. ‘Washington'’s sctuples ifi this féegard effectually baffied afy man's ploture from our colfs untll ths héad of Lincoln was used on the Lincoln pennies. Private coinage did mot pass out With the ess tablishment of the Unitéd Statés govern- ment. Tn 1851 the United States mint re- ported that twenty-seven different kindd of zold coins, issted from fifteen private mints, had beén reeéived and assayed at_Philadelphia. Token money, issued pti=atele, was i greater quality and vasié'y, Duting | the panic of 1837 abéit 164 variatias cf copper cents were issued, raany of thert carrying on thelr face the spinlons of the private producers rezording Pres dent Andrew Jackson and hit demseratie party. Merchants issuing theit privaée coins frequently used one ids of them for advertising purpoges. With the exception of ths -Jonstitutios and the ecstablishment of our présent form of government a new efa in the history of Ameérican colnage began. On January 8, 1791, Alexander Hamilton submitted to the house of representa- tives his report on the condition of the currency and his recommendations for a new system of colnage. As a result of his representations and suggestions, seconded by thoss of Jef- ferson and Morris, congress passed the act of April 2, 1783, establishing the monetary system of the United States and providing for the free coinage of gold, silver and copper coins, Under this law the minting of gold eagles, gold half eagles and gold aquacter eaglés was authorized. The silver coins authofized were the dollar, half dollaf, quarter dollar, dime and half dime. The minor coins which were expectal to Serve the copper cent and half cent. The gold uses of trade at that hme were *be coins were to contain 2475 grains of pure gold to the dollar and {he silver dollars were to contaln 371.25 grains of pure silver. Provision was also made for the erés- tion of a mint in Philadelphia, the first building erected in this country for pub- lic use under the anthority of the féd- éral govérnment. ‘The buidifg was completed in Julv, 1793, and operatlons began in the following October. Hamilton had argued In his réport o1 January, 1791, for the coinage of a gold dollar. Provisions for the coinage 6t gold dollars was not made, howevér, un- til 1849, The colnage of actual gold dollars was discontinued in September, 1800, and althongh 19,499,237 of tnem were minted not many persons of tha present generation have ever seen them. Gold dollars have been minted upon spe. cial oceasions, such as the Lonisiana Pur- chase éxposition, the Tewis and Clark ex- position, the Panama-Pacific exposition and for the McKinley meémorial. The only othep gold coins anthérized by the United States government are the £20 gold piece, or double éagles, an- thorized in 1849 the thrés dollar pieces, authorized in 1853, and the itsuanee of which was discontinued In 1890, and the $50 gold piece, issued at the time of the Panama-Pacific_exposition. These wera round or octagonial in shape and a few more the 1,500 of éach were minted, Of the three dollar pleces 539,792, of a value of $1,619,376, were turned out. Only one of the $30 pieces was struck in 1844, and as the die was destroyed at the end of the vear this one piece is unique and of prigiless value. The silver dollar of 1804 % also Tare, am Practically the entire mintaze of that year was lost by shipwreck when on its way to China. _Since its establishment In 1792 the United Styes mint has coined altogether 290,915 =o0ld pleces) of a total value of $3,427,397,568.50, .Pri\'atfl coinage of gold pieces con- tinued until the middle of the lagt cen- tury. In 1830 Templeton Reiq of Georgla f_Siab]lsth a private mint and for some time coined $10 gold pieces which were actually worth $10.08 each. The covery of gold in Californla led to the setting up of numerous private mints there. One of the coins minted and freely circulated on the Pacific coast wag a $50 octagonal plece and it was to re. call that period of California's de velopment that thé octagonal pleces of the Panama-Pacific exposition were {4. sued, Thére were also oblong pieces valued at $16 each.
