If , Congress unanimously indorsed the President's defense of naturalized f Americans abroad, why is it silent when the power of Russia is brought to break a native American's contract with a third state, a contract carrying the sanction of our State Department ¢ Have Americans no interest in the welfare ¢ ‘r people unless its immigrants constitute a body of naturalized voters whose eapport is worth bidding for? Have they lost their concern for the | progress of liberty in the world? Are they content that their Gov-| ernment shall do nothing to uphold native citizens abroad, beyond | promising, as in Shuster’s case, to protect their bare lives? Ie it forceful or consistent diplomacy—is it even decent “dollar diplomacy —to recommend an American to a responsible financial post abroad | and then to cut from behiud him every shred of backing, beyond the!

An evil thing is being done in Persia, An ancient people are being robbed of their inheritance for two “crimes”: (1) That they have adopted democratic institutions; (2) that they have attempted | #0 to reform their finances aa to keep their Government going and enable it really to govern. he firet task depended on the second, and the second was left to the American, Shuster, to perform. His offense was to take his responsibility as treasurer-general and the Anglo-Russian compact of 1907 guaranteeing “the independence ep integrity” of Persia seriously. What Russia has done and Eng. | land countenanced declares that these powers do not want an inde- | pendent Persia financially self-competent, but wish to convert their, “epberes of influence” into Russian and English provinces. Even efter Persia hes accepted Russia’s ultimatum and broken Shuster’s contract Russian troops fire on. Despite her pact with Russia, England grows restive as her part- humiliates a capable American official and devastates the country he serves. The better England, that led in destroying the slave trade, end has been the age-long friend of liberty, will yet be heard | from. Is it to be America’s shame that the conscience of the| world shall speak through some one else?

You found interest tables, weight per bushel of grain in different States, the greatest altitude in each State, the legal holidays, the movable feasts of the church, tide tables, weather fore- caste for the year, mortality tables, times for sowing vegetable seeds, Kitthen time-tables, “popular science,” “the domestic doctor” and “hats to housekeepers.” “Beware the man of one book.” Would you be sought in society, feared in controversy, successful in affairs, master a good patent a almanac. anoet SS ” | —————_—————————— THESE ARE NOT “PRIVILEGES,” OOORDING to Postmaster-General Hitchcock, the right of publishers to send matter by mail is not a right but “a privi- lege” and should be restricted to publications carrying as ‘much reading matter as advertising.

No. 87—The Invasion of the North. ING news flashed from one end of the Union to another is late June, 1863. Lee with 76,000 Confederate troops had Jett Virginia, dodged, beaten or outmanceuvred the Union armies ta bis path and was marching straight through Pennsylvania iate the very heart of the North. There seemed no way of checking his advance. Some of his officers were boasting that inside of a month they would be stabling their horses in Faneuil Hall at Boston. Once before (in 1862) Lee had tried to invade the North, but the expedition had been a failure. Now, however, he bad seemingly passed all barriers. and perhaps might even capture New York and Philadelphia before his advance could be checked. Lee had marshalled his army on the south bank of the Rappahannock River. The Army of the Potomac had confronted him on the Rapp® hannock’s north bank. There, ike two leashed bulldogs, the rival forces had long menaced each other. For two years the Union armies had tried vainly to take Richmond. One Virginia campaign after another hal resulted in costly failure. Lee and Jackson had outgeneralled their Northern opponents, and official blunders and incom- Detency and dissensions at Washington had done the rest. Deteat after defeat had awaited the United States armies until the Valley of Virginia received the bitter nickname of “The Valley of Humiliation.” In the far South the Union had been victorious. Even @t that moment Grant was chewing away at his everiast- ing cigar and perfecting the plans that were soon to put Vicksburg and all the rest of the Mississipp! River region under Union control. But Richmond (the heart and soul ef the Confederacy) could mot be captured, and every attempt to seize it ended im Gisester for the North, on Gen. Hooker, Commander of the Army of the Potomac, led his forces across the Rappahannock, and on May 3, 18%, fought with Lee at Chancellorsville After a flerce two-day battle Lee sent the Unionists flying back to their own side of the river. And once more, inactive, moveless, the two rival armies faced each other. ‘Then it was that Lee performed one of those daringly brilliant feats which stamped him as one of the greatest generals of the century. Secretly drawing Confederate regimenta and divisions from less important points of defense, he massed his army, about 76,000 strong, and suddenly sent it northward in sev- eral detachments. He met with no opposition worthy the name. His divisions beat or eluded all Union troops sent to stop him, and before the Government fairly understood what was happening bis whole army was safely on Federal soil, and was moving rapidly northward. This was no mere raid, but a carefully planned move in the chesslike war game. Lee's invasion of the North left Richmond unprotected in case a Union army should now invade Virginie. But should such an army invade Virginie, Washington would be left open to Lee's attack. Lee had apparently marched around oF broken through the whole Army of the Potomac and could proceed “The Valley of Humiliation.” unopposed. There seemed no force in the North that . ‘wes strong enough to balk his advance, Wie he But Union regiments an& brigades gathered near Gettysburg, Pa., in an effort to check the victorious Confed- erates, and thither rushed the Army of the Potomac in forced marches that would have worn out a-leas splendid body of vet The Army of the Potomac was made up of the North's finest fighting mea. They had grown hard and tireless in the terrible Virginia campaigns, and now, in their own territory, they were called upon to face their old foes. On the, Army of the Potomac bung the whole fate of the North. Should this body of veterans fail to reach Gettysburg before Lee could brush aside the few Union im time and be defeated, none could say what fearful course Lee's invasion might run. At this moment of crisis Hooker wae removed from command Gen. Meade took his place. Near Gettys! ‘Were collected the Union troops who had been hastily summoned to Lee's way. Toward Gettysburg advanced the invading Com federates, and tdward Gettysburg, by forced marches, dashed the Army of the Potomac, ‘Kee Vowm Mupueniag OX Ce ee’ aw Kesh World), GW by the papers that they ect & | boy on Gre initiating him tate one of those fraternity societies at college," said Mra Jere. “I thiak ite @bout time to step euch things.” “Setting boys on fret’ asked Mr. | dare. \* "No, but those dreadful traternity se- letics that encourage them to do eucB things.” “1 dowt eee how @ fraternity society encourage @ boy to set bimeeif 08 didn’t eet bimecit oa fre. oltiaing him did that,” eatd . “Please don't be 60 inten- aunt" “1 don’t think you should talk te your husband ike that!” sald young Mre “Well,” eat@ young Mra, Mudridge- Smith, “how about all those things with @ YOUNG husband?’ “Maybe young husband wouldn't seeeceeeeceocoeee seceeeeceeoeeeeee ceeceooosooooooeN Mr. Jarr Dabbles Old Pastime G9SSIISSHISTTSSSS FISTHTSSISSS9TSSS 99989095800080000 put up with you and your ways, since we are being frank with each other,” replied Mrs. Jarr. “That's just what I'd like,” sald the By Mme.

That reminded Clara Mudridge-Smith of the time she had beaux and wore their frat. pins. It especially reminded her of the time she wore Jack Silver's frat. pin. ‘That reminded her of how she used to quarrel with Jack. Then this brought to her mind how during one of these quar- Tele she had married her rich old hus- band. That reminded her that he never quarrelled with her, but always sald, ‘N- dear,’ and ‘Yes, dear,’ and that made her wish she had a husband who would give her an argument such as you were giving me, So you see how the circle rounds.” “I have it!” he cried finally. “You @ay all those things because, maybe, @peaking about fraternity initiations made you think of the’ Willie boya who ‘used to shine around you when they | were fresh from college.
