Columbia Calendar for 1907.

The twelfth annual issue of the Col
umbia Pad Calendar has made its ap-
pearance in more pleasing form than
ever before, having scattered through
it's daily leaves many charming illus
trations, with an appropriate thought
or verse for each day in the year.
Among the topics are bicycling, out
door life, and good roads, The cycl-
ing fraternity, to say nothing of the
general public, has acquired decided
" friendly feeling for the COlumbi
Calendar, and it's annual advent is al
WAYS looked forward to with interest
and pleasure.
The 1897 calendar contains unique
arrangement of dates that will prove
very helpful and convenient to busy
men. and plenty of space is allowed
for memoranda, so that the block may
be used as diary, or in any event
will become stOrehOuse of the many
little things one desires to be remind
ed of day by day.
The feature of the calendar is it's
neat stand, so arranged that the
block can either be used upon the
desk or hung upon the wall.
The calendar can be obtained for
five two.cent stamps by addressing
the Calendar Department of the Pope
Manufacturing Company at Hartford,
Conn.

MR.. OLNEY'S BREAK.

Possibly Mr.. Olney may be most
successful diplomat when he is deal
ing with the representatives of foreign
nations, but he has shown an entire
absence OF diplomacy in home affairs
relating to what would be the attitude
OF the president toward the Cameron
resolutions, which were yesterday in
PRODUCED into the senate, in case they
passed both houses of congress. One
can not imagine James g. Blaine in
dulging ia such talk as is credited to
Secretary Olney. He was far to Dip
lomatic for that. He keenly recog-
nized the rights of others and reserv-
ed his own comments until the proper
time and then clearly expressed his
views of the subject at hand.
AS to the presidents right to veto
the resolutions, should they pass con-
gress and be presented to him, should
he see fit so to do, there is no
question. That is constitutional
perogative vested in him. But it is
certainly bad taste to say the least,
to spread before the country what he
will do if such resolutions should be
presented him, and how he would re-
gard such an act of congress, before
the said resolutions are even reported
from the foreign relations committee
to the senate.
Mr.. Cleveland has shown at times
during his administration consider
able disposition to control the actions
of congress on certain matters, and il
may be that the remarks of Mr.. Olney,
which were doubtless inspired by his
chief, will have the effect of influenc-
ing some members of The spnate and
house from treating these Resolutions
differently than they otherwise would
but we much doubt it. In considering
these resolutions, congress is pursuing
a legitimate field of action, and there
is hardly question but that in this
it is simply carrying out the wishes
and desires of the great majority of
the people of this country. The best
elements of civilization demand some
move be taken which will have the
effect of bringing to an end the reign
of assassination and murder which ex-
lists in Cuba.

greatest war vessel afoat to the bot
tom of the seas, and render the
greatest navies of the world power
less in case of war. For nearly year
back work has been going on upon this
queer vessel in Uncle Sans navy
yard at Baltimore, under the direc-
tion of the inventor, congress having
appropriated S150,OOO for that pur-
pose, and it is expected that the little
vessel will be launched within a few
weeks at the farthest, and perhaps by
the first of the year, when it will be
given trial. 1t is said to be the
shape of great overgrown cigar, and
will have fins on the stern end as well
as propeller and rudder. The large
fins Will be beneath to act as a keel
and diagonaliy attached to the sides
for raising and sinking. Uncle Sam is
said to be having considerable trouble
IN getting men to man the boat On it's
trial trip. If it is successful, it will
SINK and rise at pleasure, and will
make 1T possible to rid a harbor of
vast war fleet of an enemy on short
order. and it will be only another
move in the direction which will in
crease the horrors of war, and
strengthen the chances for continued
peace among nations by making the
destructive powers of war so great
that they will not dare engage in it.
The trial Of this modern engine of
war will be looked forward to with
interest, as it's success will mark
another length to which the ingenuity
of man can go.
