CLEVELAND.

IT is source of qualification to THE
News that it can attest the conservatism
of the leaders, as we'll as the rank and
file, of the Terrell county alliance. They
have always exhibited disposition to
discuss questions and measures with
their anti-alliance neighbOrs in spirit
of liberality, and let arguments count
for all they are worth. AS a general
rule they have been unwilling to act
upon any proposition until they hear
both sides of it, SO long as this conser-
vatism continues we have no fear of the
urtoward political upheavals that we
read about in other counties.

ACTION or THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

THE News publishes in full today the
proceedings of the Democratic Executive
Committee of the Second Congressional
District at the meeting thereof on the
Dist inst.
To say the least, theaction of the com
nit zee is not calculated to create harmo-
NY where diSsenson exists, nor to pre-
serve harmony where the party is al
ready working in concord. Indeed, the
hasty and extreme utterances of the
committee are such as to create woe
full division in Democratic ranks if left
to work their legitimate and natural re-
suit we hope and believe that the
good common sense and conservatism of
the people, the Democratic people, of the
district will be bulwark against which
such waves of passion and prejudice will
beat in vain. Indeed, it is believed that
the refiux will be so strong as to over
whFlm the gentlemen who were the
leading spirits in what, were itnot for
the attending d..ngers, would be the
greatest political farce of the age
Shall the servant become the master?
The creature the creator? This would
be the legitimate result of a submits
sion by the Democracy of the district to
the dictatorship of the committee. They
are but the creatures of the last Demo-
cratic convention, appointed for the sole
purpose of holding the party organiza-
ton intact and keeping the same in good
running order, to keep the party wheels
creased and free from distractions of
any and al sorts. They were appointed
to promulgate, not to create. They are
servants of the party, put in place to do
its bidding. Instead of following the
good old Democratic usages of half a
century, this committee proceeded to
make laws for the party, to create tests
of party fealty, and to hurl the anathe-
mas of their condemnation at all Demo-
Gratis who do not follow in their wake
and subscribe humbly to all of their po-
litical doctrines.
There is nothing Objectionable in the
resolution per Sc requiring all who are
challenged in the democratic primaries
to swear that they will support the nom
inee and the platform of the party, but
1t would certainly be humiliating spec
tacle to see the rock-ribbed democrats.

What Drove Him to Enlist.

An American artist with whose name
all lovers of good pictures are familiar
was narrating some of his war expe-
riences at his club a few evenings ago.
He served during the last three years of
the war and fairly won the distinction
of being a brave soldier. II am not
disposed to boast of the motive that
prompted me to enlist" said he to a
group of deeply interested friends, "but
/ will tell you what it was. Soon after
the war broke out l was induced by a
persistent and smooth tongued book
agent to subscribe for an expensive
illustrated publication. It was to be de-
livered In parts, one part each month,
and payment of two dollars was to be
made at each delivery. Well, after
awhile got tired of the thing and found
the payments irksome. But could not
shake off the book agent. He became a
nightmare to me, and finally to escape
him enlisted. OF course l had some
inclination to go to the front anyhow,
but the book agent was the direct cause
of my enlisting.
IAN exciting three years Of service
followed, but the end came and l was
mustered out with thousands of others.
l turned my face to the west, thinking
that the best place to get start in bust
ness. l went to Chicago, and, having
engaged rooms in a lodging house,
started out on prospecting tour. The
first man to recognize me in that town
was that irrepressible book agent. He
cheerfully informed me that he had
saved all of the parts of the illustrated
work for me and he would bring them
to my lodgings the next day. But he
did not, for gave him a bogus address
and left for New York that same
night. New York Times.

Southern California.

What the fertile plains of Lombardy
were centuries ago to the northern bar
barians who descended upon them south
ern California appears to be. It is in
deed far more fertile and beautiful than
those same plains of Lombardy are to-
day, for its extraordinary fertility is
maintained by irrigation, while in an
cient Lombardy the woods have been
cut away, the brooks and rivers are in
consequence dry much of the year and
the once teeming lands parch brown and
barren every summer.
A writer in the Chicago Tribune, who
may or may not be the secret agent Of
some enticing land company, reminds
us that Holland, which has less arabic
land than southern California. yet sup
ports 100000 people. When the re-
sources of southern California are fully
developed they will maintain more in
habitants than the whole of Holland
does, according to our writer This
wonderful region grows no less than
eighty different kinds of fruits, veg
etables and grains, The orange season
lasts five months in the year, and during
the busy part of it an average of 1916
carloads Of oranges per week is shipped.
making three oranges apiece to every
inhabitant Of the United States. More
over, the orange producing capacity of
the land is not nearly developed yet.
The sweetest orange that grows is that
from Florida. The California product
is slightly sourer.
Besides growing every kind of semi
tropical fruit known. and vegetables for
shipment east and to the neighboring
states, this happy region is also rich in
minerals of dozen kinds, it beats the
world on honey and poultry and it is
equal to any other place known for live
stock in general The climate--well. we
have heard SO much about the southern
California climate that we would rather
not hear it mentioned any more We
all intend to take trip thither and test
it for ourselves some day. People seem
to live almost forever, and no wonder.
for life actually appears to be genuine
pleasure, and the right to it less toll
somely won than elsewhere. The
Tribune correspondent saw one old fell
low who was undoubtedly 1919 year,
old. 1t is cheap place to live, but no
so very cheap region in which to buy
property. There is much undeveloped
land still, but if you want to purchase a
good orange grove and settle down on
your income you must pay $1,000 an
acre for it. Still, it is to be remembered
that twelve acres of orange grove will
afford handsome living.

Better Than He Expected.

Boston has the reputation of being a
city of unusual culture. No doubt this
reputation is deserved; but Bostonians
do not, as the humorous photographers so
frequently intimate, converse in the
street in Greek or conduct their bust
ness affairs in Latin. This was just the
impression, however, which visitor to
the modern Athens recently received.
He was from one of the mountain dis
tricts of the south and was visiting Bos-
ton for the first time. He strolled about
the city, taking in its sights, getting lost
in its winding streets and thoroughly
enjoying himself.
He was walking, shortly after his ar
rival, along the lower part of Washing
ton street, when the old statehouse,
nesting so demurely among its neigh
bors, attracted his attention. He did
not know that he was standing before
one of the Oldest and most historic build
ings in America.
Situated as it is in the busy part of
business street, he took it simply for a
store of some kind, differing from those
about it only in being far less preten-
tious. In fact, he did not notice the
building itself SO much as the words
that stood out in large gilt letters across
its front.
This inscription, which was very prop
erly placed on the venerable building
some years ago, is the motto of the
state. 1t shows at once the spirit of
liberty that dominated our forefathers,
and the troublous times through which
the young republic had to pass be-
fore its independence was secured. 1t
reads, ''Ense petit placidam cub tibertate
quietem."
The stranger gazed at the mysterious
words for some time, spelling them out
forward and backward, but utterly
failed to extract any meaning from
Them Finally he called to a newsboy
who was hurrying by, Say, bub, what's
that say up there"
why" said the boy, "that's Latin"
"Well," replied the southerner, look

The driver ants of Africa are so called
because they drive before them while
on march all other living creatures, no
animal being able to Withstand them.
No beast, however formidable, dares to
cross their track, and they will destroy
in a single night all the pigs and fowls
on a farm. The huge iguana lizards
fall victims to them, as do snakes and
all other reptiles. 1t is said that they
begin their attack ON the snake by bit
ing its eyes and so binding the prey,
which, instead Of running away, writhes
helplessly in one spot. Natives of Africa
assert that when the great python has
crushed its captives in its folds it does
not devour it at once, but makes a cir
cult of at least a mile in diameter in
order to see whether an army of driver
ants is on the march in the neighbor-
hood. If so, it glides off and abandons
its prey, which will soon be eaten by the
ants.
. If an army of these ants approaches a
village the entire population is compelled
to fly. Sometimes the people may be
obliged to take to the water in order to
save themselves. The insects travel in
the night and on cloudy days, because
they are quickly killed by the direct
rays of the sun. Should the sun come
out while they are making a journey
they construct continuous arch over
their path out Of earth agglutinated by
fluid excreted from their mouths. In
cloudy weather an arch for the nrotac-
ton of the marching workers is con-
structed of the bodies of the larger
soldier ants, whose widely extended
jaws, long legs and projecting antenn@,
INTERVIEWING, form a sort of network.
In case of an alarm the arch is instantly
broken and the insects which composed
it join other soldiers ON the TANKS of the
line, who seem to be acting as scouts,
running about furiously in pursuit of
the enemy. The alarm over, the arch is
renewed and the column proceeds as be-
Washington Star.

The concensus of opinion seems to be
that the following requisites should
be found in the man to be Judge: Abil-

observation-disclosures as a judge and execu-

The defective legislation of the state
of Washington has become apparent in
the last few days since the small pox
scare has resulted in looking up the
power of health officers or organiza-
tons to take steps to protect the people
from this dread disease. The system
in force is thoroughly lame and the
power to reach out and do what would
be really necessary, in emergencies that
may arise by reason of our close prox-
unity to the British Columbia cities,
has never been conferred. This, with
dozens of other instances, simply shows
the necessity of Whatcom county send
ing not simply political rustler, but
a delegation to the legislature that can
get down to the business of shaping up
and getting passed such statutes as
will meet these emergencies and ac-
complish needed reforms and remedy
defects in legislation otherwise bene-
fetal.
