The Canadian statesmen, it is said, have
departed from Washington very much dis
appointed at the results of conference of
which they had so high hopes a week ago.
They expected concessions for Canadian
trade but when told that action relative to
the seal fisheries designed to protect them
from Canadian ravages must precede the
consideration of a treaty of reciprocity, the
Canadian statesmen lost their interest in the
negotiations. All the troubles in regard to
the seal are due to the rapacity of Canadian
sealers. They have disregarded all regula-
tions and natural laws which were essen
tial to maintaining the seal fisheries These
fisheries are worth much less than they
were ten years ago, and they are worth less
because Canada has defended her sealers in
destroying them. That Canada's commits
sioners will not listen to any negotiations or
propositions designed to change the policy
Of the Dominion toward the seal fisheries
shows that there is no hope of any adjust
4nent of that troublesome subject. Mean
time. that indefinite thing called Canadian
reciprocity will also wait until other
Canadian statesmen come to us with an
idea that they can persuade us to give
them our markets for nothing.

Persons who sigh over the decline of the
heroic age, and who pore and NOPE over
musty library books in search of tales of
daring and human sacrifice, should shut up
their shelf-worn volumes and turn their
eyes to the columns of the daily news
papers. The history now making is as re-
plete with true tales Of human heroism as
that of any age has dbsep. The British
soldiers fighting away against heavy odds
in the Indian mountains, the brave fellows
starting away to the relief of whalers in
the frozen north in the very teeth Of win
ter, and other current events too numerous
to mention are as inspiring as 1.-THE Charge
of the Light Brigade or any other of the
events that have been crystallized in song
or story.

GREAT POLITICAL ISSUE.
Subsidy to an Opera House the Burn-
ing Question i'm Costa Ricn.


NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-"Shall the govern
ment continue to be an angel for an opera
house?" is the burning question upon which
hinges the result of the presidential election
in Costa Rics One of the passengers on
the Atlas liner Adirondack, which arrived
yesterday from Port Limon, was Gabriel
Martin, a prominent citizen of San Jose,
the Costa RIGA capital, who is on his way
to Paris on business connected with the
new opera thouse. This opera house cost
between So 900, 900 and 1000 600 and was built
by the wealthy residents of Costa Rica. The
government keeps II running by a subsidy.
Mr.. Martin said that the Costa Rica presi-
Dental election began Monday and would
continue until to-day. They vote for three
days in Costa Rica. The great issue IL
this election is the government subsidy TO
the opera house. President Igesias favors
the subsidy and his opponent is against 1t.
An American company. headed by Helen
LarouX. is now giving grand and comic
opera in the place The opposition, Mr..
Martin says, has good chance of winning.

The Rothschilds in Mexico.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
If the news that the Rothschilds are prac-
tically taking control of the Mexican reve-
nue. machinery is not pure hoax, it probably
means several important things. First, no
doubt that 3 few Mexican politicians and
needy statesmen have an understanding
with the London bankers by which they are
TO reap princely private fortunes from the
advance of such Mexican securities as
they can control. Then, again, the Roths-
standing with the English government as
to the part which England is to play in
Egyptizing Mexico on the first justifying
occasion. John Bull, in all his cozening ana
wheedling never loses sight of the tact
that we are preparing to contest his monop-
oily of the worlds carrying trade. he no
doubt sees in such scheme the long
lCoked-for opportunity for an important
step in hedging us in on the south. his
traditional belief in the sacredness and re-
siStleSS force of a debt obligation leads MIN
to overlook the possible obstacles In the
way 1t is possible that the common
wealths of Europe may be armed against
us in this quarrel with the exception or
Russia. Russia may always be counted on
as our friend so far as such friendship may
be necessary in checkmating England.
John Bull will probably learn that the COW
eted prize is protected by more powerful
genii when forty millions of Anglo-SaXons
undertake to override the Monroe doctrine
by foreclosing on the continent OF which
seventy millions of Anglo-Saxons are the
natural guardians. l.. .. n.

According to a report in the Hartford
Courant the City Council of New Haven
recently passed unanimously resolution
providing for the appointment of a commit
tee to inquire into the advisability of the
city establishing and conducting news
paper of it's own. One councilman declared
his belief that if such a paper were started
it would, in month, be the most popular
paper in New Haven and would soon be-
come a source of revenue to the city. The
conditions of society and of journalism
must be very unique at New Haven to justi-
fly such action by the Council, but we should
say that for people who would like that sort
of a paper it would probably be just the
sort of paper they would like. The Council
has probably been imbibing advanced no
tons regarding municipal ownership from
some Yale professor.

The Luetgert case is quickly followed by
another in Chicago which bids fair to be-
come celebrated on different line. The
contest of the late j. B. Ketcham's will will
bring out all the elements of a melodrama
including rich and disputed husband,
common-law wife, a young and beautiful
woman who, once divorced, claims to have
been legally married, mysterious broth
er who may have actedsa a dummy bride-
groom, a will of doubtful validity, etc. This
means long drawn-out case and rich pick
ing for the lawyers.

LIABILITY of state Banks.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
see a Journal editorial yesterday
headed Losses by Loose Banking
which leaves the inference that national
banks could not commence business unless
the entire authorized capital was paid up;
also that state bank stockholders were not
liable for as much more stock as they hold,

points, as TO meaning, is identically the
same the national law. namely, first,

An English society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals recently prosecuted
man for plucking the feathers from live
geese. They held that it was cruel but
the defendant explained that unless feathers
were picked while the birds were alive they
would drop out and be lost, moreover, he
asserted that geese fattened after plucking
were more fit for human food. The
magistrate took this view of the matter and
dismissed the case. A London paper ex-
presses great surprise that the practice of
plucking live geese still exists in that coun-
try, which shows that it knows little about
this branch of the poultry business. 1t is
little curious that with all the anti-cruel-
ty, anti-vivisection and bird protection So
cieties in this country it has remained for
an English organization to first advocate
the cause of that noble fowl, the goose,
although it is found in every farmyard with
its breast denuded of feathers at stated
periods. 1t is true that the Unconditional
farmer declares that when the feathers are
ripe their removal is not-a painful or in
furious process, but as the testimony is
necessarily one-sided it would not be likely
to weigh in the least with any active and
tender-hearted anti-cruelty society The
painful truth seems to be that the attention
of the societies has been taken up by the
song birds and the birds of snowy plumage,
and the welfare of the homely, unmusical,
web-footed, but worthy fowl has been neg
lected. Inasmuch as little progress is being
made in the way of protecting the song
BIRDS if the appearance of women's hats
is an indication, a new outlet for philan-
thropic energies may be welcome and the
goose pen show better results.

Germany that neither the United States
nor Great Britain can compete with her in
the manufacture of certain kinds of wooden
goods. Great Britain's policy is to let Ger
many capture that market, but our policy
is to compel those who bring their goods
here for a market to pay duty which will
enable the American manufacturer to pay
high wages and still compete with the
product Of Germany. This policy, which is
the policy of Germany. may not please it's
wooden manufacturers, but it is so important
that we should have the home market for

we canot afford to purchase the good will

(Kinston Free Press)
About 10 o'clock on Friday night, June
18th, during our recent revival in La
Grange, Miss Adline Russell, a member
Iof the NJ. e. church, South in that town,
went into trance. 1t was my good
fortune to sit by her from about 1920
until 3:15 next morning During part
of this time she looked as though she
was asleep, but at other times (constitu-
ting perhaps, most of the time mentioned)
the eyes were open and seemed fixed
sometimes on heaven, and sometimes on
hell, without once winking. | think
never shall forget the horrors of hell de-
picted in her countenance as she quaked
with fear and, in whisper called to the
lost: Come away! Come away! Come
away! Jesus, take them out Take them
out!' Then her face frightened, as she
said, "There you are you old tempter,
but you can't tempt me'
Before and after this, her eyes seemed
lit up with heavenly light, and her face
was wreathed in joy, as she sometimes
a loud ha! ha! laugh and as she some
times sang, and sometimes talked with
Jesus and sometimes with her mother
I now remember only a few things she
said, as Jesus, they wont believe me, If
l tell them" II don't want to go back"
Mother! o, mother, come to me!'
Once, while ecstatic, a cloud suddenly
came over her face, but in few mo-
ments, the joy came back, and she ex-
claimed: There he is, l thought he was
gomez Playing with her fingers, as il
on harp, and with listening expression
on her face, she softly said 1.-THE music

the strings on them Again she said:

eral times we raised her up, because we
thought the motion of her hands meant
help. Once we raised her to her feet,
thinking she was about to come to her
SELF but her eyes looked wonderingly
away form this world, and she sank back
upon the rostrum and looked like she was
asleep again. Once, when raised to a
sitting posture, she said: where am /?

At another time some one asked: "To
whom are you talking?" She replied
I"It's Jesus" She was repeatedly spoken
to by different ones in the crowd Of
twenty-five or thirty people, who were
waiting to see what would come of it.;
but she paid no attention to anything
said to her, except in these two instances
l cannot remember all she said, and
shall not undertake a description Of the
different expressions on her face, as she
alternately looked into heaven and hell,
because language utterly fails at this
point.
At 3:15 o'clock she sprang to her feet
and overwhelmed US with an exhorta-
ton, for eight minutes, and then sank
down as if exhausted. Being placed
