THE new president of the republic of
Brazil, Jose de Moraes, who has re-
Gently been inaugurated, has an
nounced policy of conciliation which
will probably restore tranquility and
give the republic rest. The fact that
he was elected during season of civil
war and that his election had quiet
ing influence shows that he is held in
high esteem, and proves that the mon
archy is dead. Brazil, with peace, can
lead the South American republics.

forms of the mace. The mace used on
horseback was small weapon, usually
of steel. That used on foot was much
longer, and commonly of wood with
head armed with iron rings and spikes.
1t was carried by the escort of Inagis-

against violence. AS society quicted
down and its original use fell into,
allegiance, the thing assumed the orna-
mental appearance it now has, it being
now carried as a mere honorary form.
The ancient use of the mace intro
duces us to remarkable instance of
ecclesiastical casuistry. The clergy
was forbidden to shed blood, and, as
thus the sword was inhibited, it might
have been thought was sufficient to-

not so; they adopted the mace; though
they could not cut mans throat, yet

William l.. Douglas, the president of the
world famed w. l.. Douglas Shoe Co., has
always had great personal interest in the
army of men and women who inhabit the
great factory ut Montello during the work.
Ing hours of the day, and who make the
greatly advertised $3 shoe
He is n great believer In the idea that
manufacturers should have this personal
Interest in the condition of their employees,
and feels that If the idea is carried out to
the extent that is possible, that it will result
ultimately in the breaking down of the bar
riers which have been built up between en-
ployers and those whom they employ. He
believes that the breaking down OF these in
visible but strong barriers would be q great
thing for everybody concerned, as it would
convince the worldngmen that their en-
ployers were not their enemies, as some of
them seem to think now, but their friends,
with desire to do all for them that was in
their power.
Having strong feelings upon this point it
is only natural that Mr.. Douglas should give
the matter some study and acquaint him
self with the result of the trials of such
plans in other places, He is satisfied that
the scheme he has originated is u good one,
and he has now put it to practical test.
