about the right or wrong OF the Gov
ernment's position; the Government is
simply to be sustained, right or wrong.
If it is in the wrong. it is to be sup
ported and established In that course; !;
it is to be pushed along on the torong
roadi Aud such is conceived to be the
duty of statesman!
Where is nation going to when it
is on the wrong roadp-to happiness?
to prosperity? to peaceP Or to disas-
ter?
There is God in the universe who
is always and unswervingly for the
right, and against everything that is
wrong; and in his hands the nations
are as 'sthe small dust of the balance"
And when nation is in the wrong,
can it prevail against himP Has it
come to be wisdom for a government
to fight against God?
''The country and the flag, right or
wrong" is sentiment consistent only
with the idea that there is no God of
right and justice in the universe. And
even then-were the claims OF the
atheist to be admitted-it is a senti-
ment opposed to the lesson of all his
tory, that when nation gets on the
wrong road, it is on the road to its
end.-American Sentinel.

Where Lafayette Is Buried.

"We visited the Convent du Sacre-
Coeur, in the Rue de Picpus, where
Lafayette is buried" writes Edith"
from Paris to the March Ladies Home
Journal. Here birds of passage, like
ourselves, seldom come. At the end
of rose-grown garden is little GEM
etery where bearers OF some of the
oldest names in France lie buried.
Now only descendants of those who
died on the guillotine are eligible to a
grave there, and In one corner. In the
shadow of the great wall, are the
graves of Lafayette and his wife. Be-
yond the first cemetery is a second
where the bodies of thirteen hundred
aristocratic victims of the Revolution

DISPATCH

For Right is Right and Wrong is
Wrong.

The debate in Congress on the Phil
ippine question has reached stage
where the upholders of the doctrine o.
government by the consent of the
governed are openly and violently de
nounced by their fellow congressmer
as traitors. This was the charge hurl
ed at Senator Pettigrsw of South Da
kota, by Senator from New Jersey
during discussion OF a resolution in
troduced by the former bearing on the
Philippine policy. 1t was, say the
press dispatches, "the most violen
debate or the session so far on the
Philippine question.
A statement made by the New Jer
sey Senator in connection with his
charge of treason against his colleague
from South Dakota, is worthy of note.
He said that he had opposed the &C
QUESTION of the Philippines until the
Paris treaty with Spain was made and
ratified. and then he had thrown aside
his ''private views" and acquiesced
ia the result that had been reached.

This senator seems to forget that
the United States flag was not always
the flag of this country.
Back in 1775, the flag of the coun-
try was the flag of Great Britain,
and when that flag was attacked
there were men who were filled with
horror. And if this senator, and others
of like mind, had been living then,
holding the sentiment OF 1.-THE country
and the flag. right or wrong" upon
which side in the Revolutionary strug-
gle would they necessarily have stoodP
The revolt against the British flag
was not because the flag was not good
enough, but because it stood for wrong.
The United States flag came into exis-
tence solely because the American col
onists would not stand for '.their coun-
try right or Urong." America was
then a part of the British Empire.
The American colonists revolted
against the British government be-
cause it was in the wrong. and they
would stand only for the right.
Only by repudiation, on their part,
of the sentiment .'my country right or
acronq" did the American flag come
into existence; and only upon that
ground is such flag necessary. If
that ground is to be abandoned, there
is no longer any need OF the flag.

necessary; indeed. no new govern
ment would have been established If
no one had cared about the right or
wrong OF the controversy with Great
Britain. The stars and stripes SYM
bolized new government that arose
solely upon the issue OF the right ver-
sus the wrong in the British policy.

AT special meeting of the Washington

ommendation of the governing committee
to increase the membership of the ex-
change from forty to fifty. The plan OF
the committee was voted down unani-
mously. those in favor of it withdrawing
their support as soon as il was seen that
the general sentiment was against it. The
reason given for not adopting the plan
was that the number OF securities traded
in on the exchange has been curtailed
badly during the past two years and an
addition to the membership would tend
still further to cut down the business Of

IT is difficult to give an exact statement

LOWING A NET PROFIT OF $50 ON EACH

SIXTH THAT AMOUNT OF NET PROFITS
WOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO PAY THE

business. One American company alone is un-
derstood to be selling more than 10000 tyne
writers year, while several others are selling
