He Tried Many Times to FLUID It, but
the World Is Too Small
A certain Judge from Louisiana, who
is noted far and wide for his gravity
and judicial bearing on the bench, and
for his great personal dignity at al
times, visited the capital the other
day with the firm determination Of
having a good time. In his own words:
Il decided to throw dull care, dignity
and all else that hampers a poor old
judge in the enjoyment of life to the
winds Of heaven and have just one
good time, a fling, as we used to say at
college. No one in town knows me, I
argued, and for once, just once, I'm
going to have some fun But it was
no use; my attempts met with a dead
failure. l started out all right, how
ever, with some gay and newly found
friends at a celebrated uptown cafe.
We we're in the midst OF the feast, good
stories were going around, and an oc-
casional song made the rafters ring,
when m of the walters halted at my
elbow and said soto voce: Is that
duck all right, ledger 'JudgeP said /,
Judge? What do you mean by calling
me iudge?' oh, Z knows you, jedge,

again during the whole Of the evening,
and 1 shall never again try to lay aside
my letters. l made the effort in Paris,
only to be confronted by my stenog-
rapher; I essayed at San Francisco,
only to run into my wife's favorite
cousin. The world is too small. There
is not much fun outside Of college
walls, and l will never make another
attempt to have any."-New York

There were no insurgents In the
Ohio Republican convention. That
fact was adequately demonstrated by
the wild and tumultuous cheering in
dulged in by the delegates-composed
largely of feeders at the administra-
ton pie counter, and Of those as
'opes to be-" to borrow from Mr..
Weller's vocabulary-when the boss
appeared on the platform. And when
the leader Of the Republican party
rose in response to the demands Of
his boisterous parasites to make a
speech, there was no fbrous growth
in his voice to make him stutter in
his unqualified Endorsement Of i'm
perialism and the trusts.

henchmen. THE destiny of this

THREE LIVING U


From present indications it seems
probable that three questions will be
especially prominent, the money Ques-
ton, Including both metal and paper
money; the trust question, and inn
perialism, including the question Of
militarism and entangling alliances.
There are other questions which will
cut some figure in the campaign, but
these three will demand the largest
share of public attention. Men differ
as to their relative Importance, but
they are all important. The currency
bill, which is now a law, has revealed
the party's love for the gold standard
and its hypocrisy in pretending to ia
vor international bimetallism. That
bill has also received the Republican
plan to retire the greenbacks and
turn v e the control of the paper
money to the national banks. The
inaction Of the administration on the
trust question shows that the Repub-
licans are insincere in their prom
ises to destroy the trusts, while the
Porto Rican bill reveals the imperial

ers. The Republicans do not now
dare to unfold their plans. The
Spooner resolution proposes that
when the war is over the president
shall establish a government which
Is to stand till congress acts in the
matter, but this is s~uperlatively un-
certain. 1t simply means that after an
indefinite continuation Of the war, the
president will establish an indefinite
form of government, which shall last
for an indefinite time. and then con-
gress will substitute some kind Of
government, we know not what.
While this uncertainty lasts, soldiers
are dying in the Philippines or COM
ing back insane, the expenses are in
creasing and the Declaration Of In
dependence is being treated by Re
publicans as an outWorn document.
Against Republican uncertainty, the
Democrats Will offer a plain, simple,
patriotic plan of dealing with the
Philippine Islands, and that plan will
be an immediate announcement OF the
nations purposes; first, to establish
a stable government; second, to give
the Filipinos independence, as we had
promised to give independence to
Cuba; third, to protect the Filipinos
from outside interference to work out
their own destiny, as We have protect
ed the people Of Central and South
America. w. J.. Bryan, Wichita

This Anticipated tower, the origin Of
which has long been a matter of dis
pute, is located at Newport, R. 4. It
is circular in shape and built of stone,
supported on round arches and over
grown with ivy. Gov. Benedict Ar
mold, who died in 1878, ~bequeathed the
tower, referring to it in his will as
my stone-built windmill" Some an
tiquarians believe it was built by the
Norsemen in the eleventh century, and
1t has been shown by researches made
by Prof. Rain, of the Royal Society Of
Northern Antiquaries at Copenhagen,
who published a book on the subject.
that the Norsemen, or Scandinavians,
did visit America about A. d. 1000, and
that they probably entered Narragan-
sett Bay. The Inference is that they
might have built the tower. Others
think that it was erected as a windmill
in the seventeenth century, by some
colonial governor, though the archi-
tectural indications point otherwise. It
is different in architecture and con
struction from other works of the early
colonists, Yet Verrazzani, who spent
fifteen days in the harbor in 1924, does
not mention it. The opening scenes OF
Cooper's novel, THE Spy" are laid in
the vicinity, and Longfellow's poem,
THE Skeleton in Armor," is connected
with the old stone mill. No ornaments
or other means of Identifying the pc
riod Of its erection remain.-Detroit

The late Mr.. David A. Wells wrote
eight years ago a brief and vigorous
article on trusts. which first appeared
in the New England Almanac. No
one who has written upon the sub
feet has grasped the situation with
more thorough comprehension or eX-
posed 1t more clearly than that wise
student of public affairs and fearless
champion of equal rights. He main
tanned then what has been proved
beyond question since, that the duties
were enacted Of kept on In order to
maintain and protect a host Of trusts
in the United States which could
otherwise have no existence. And he
brought the question sharply forward,
How did your representative in the
last congress voter" That is the ques-
ton which voters should now be ask
ing. Did he vote protective duties to
favor the trusts which have been
bleeding the American people, and
II he did. will the people trust him
again? VIII a new candidate vote to
remove those favors, and, II not, will
the people trust him at all?
Other questions will enter into the
campaign, but In the election Of con-
gressmen these are the test questions
which should never for a day be lost
sight Of, for upon the answer to them
will depend whether the next congress
is to be the servant Of the American
people or the slave of the trusts.-Kal-

mas Lots Of Fun.
At a little gathering uptown one
evening last week the conversation
turned to palmistry. says the Phila-
delphia Record. "Palmistry Is a back
number" said a bright young West
Philadelphia girl. Il can read charac-
ter and tell fortunes with nothing but
a handkerchief to work on" She was
asked to illustrate her powers, and
readily consented. Turning to one Of
the young men, she asked him for his
handkerchief. Take It in the center
between your thumb and forefnger,"
she commanded. That's right. Now
clutch It tightly in your other hand
and draw II through. That leaves
creases in your handkerchief, formed
by the lines in your palm. 1 shall
read your fortune from those creases,
which are really the reflected lines OF
your character" Then she spread the
handkerchief out upon her lap and
studied the creases. After a few mo-
ments Of silence she began in the ste
r%eotyped way to speak Of a wealthy
marriage, a dark man to beware Of
and similar stock phrases. AS she
knew the young man very well she
was also In a position to speak Of ev-
eral characteristic traits which were
undeniably true, and which lent a
sembiance Of variety to the perform
ance. Now" she said, take the
handkerchief in the center and bite
into It so as to leave the imprint Of
your teeth" Amid breathless sus
pense the young man did as directed.
"Harder!" exclaimed the amateur
s%oothsayer. bite It as hard as you
cant" The young man grew red in the
face in his efforts to leave the desired
impression. ooh, you bite too easily!'
exclaimed the girl. Then everybody
laughed, and the victim acknowledged
that the joke was on him.

A cablegram from London to the
Chicago Record says:
DR.. Theodore Herzl, originator OF the
scheme TO establish a Jewish state IN
Palestine, is now In London, perfect
ing the details Of his great movement.
Or. Herzl is n tall, broad man. with n
heavy black beard, black hair, finely
cut features and luminous brown eyes.
He is full Of his subject, which he dis
cusses lucidly. earnestly and eloquent
ly. He is apparently inspired with a
real and vivid expectation of seeing the
Jewish race, in the nOn-distant future.
redeemed from hOmelessness and per
secution and firmly planted on soil Of
its own.
DR.. Herzl took time from his multi
farious duties to say to the Record
correspondent to-day: Although l
have practically inexhaustible means
at my command to apply to the colon
izlng Of Jews in Palestine, some men
still declare that the project is a dream.
So It is, perhaps, but only recently Ger
man unity was a dream, and so to-day
is British imperial federation a dream,
yet It is not impossible Of accomplish
ment.
'The scheme to translate the Jews
Of the world to their ancestral home
hinges. not upon surrounding inherent
difference, but merely upon the willing
ness of the Sultan to grant such q
charter as we require. When he
grants that, in the curse OF time, in
my opinion, will this %colonizing move
ment begin. The Sultan may not ex-
actly be in love with the idea; but he
does love money, and we are prepared
to pay what he wants"
"At present Palestine is a dead
country, completely barren, in the
modern idea. The Jews would breathe
into IL the breath of life. They would
teach the ignorant and backward
Turk, they would build harbors and
railways, and would rapidly construct
the material elements Of a splendid civ
ilizatiOn. Palestine now is closed to
the world and nobody can get the land
without war. The Jews would neu-
tralize the land and open it on equal
terms to all races of men. They would
immensely shorten the distance be-
tween Europe and Asia by building a
railway from the bay of Acre to the
Persian gulf. Over this all peoples
could pass. Nobody would be Jealous
or fearful of the Jews, a weak people,
without a government, DESTROYS only
of winning happiness and prosperity
for themselves and Of promoting the
general progress Of mankind.
The holy places would remain the
common property of the world. We
should extraterritOrialize them and
treat them as sacred places. Emperor
William told me as we stood together
near the gates of Jerusalem: 'Pales-

Hon. A. M. Stevenson Of Denver in
an address to the Silver State Central
committee, the other day, was loudly
applauded for expressing the following
sentiments:
Il congratulate the members Of u
party that they are still united in their
opposition to the McKinleX Republican
party that has for so long been menac-
ing the interests Of u country. Wnen
we separated ourselves from the parent
body the Republican party was merely
standing in a threatening attitude tow
ard the rights Of the people. Now it
has accomplished all that It started out
to do. Its work has become a hxed
fact. II there was reason In 1895 for
protesting 1t seems to me that, II II
has accomplished the act that was then
only a threat, there is more reason to
protest now than v We are the
only political party that has made sac
rihces for the sake Of principle in the

Four years more Of Mckinley will
mean FIVE hundred million dollars
more poured into the Philippine rat
hole. That is more than it cost
France to change from a republic to
an empire, and to change Napoleon
from a successful general to an m
peror in exile. Emperors come high.
Students of history are comparing
Mckinley with George III. They
have many characterfsuvs tH
common. George III. was prosy,
opinionated, a strange combination Of
weakness and obstinacy. He had a
marked capacity for surrounding
himself with the weakest statesman Of
the kingdom. He was equally mac
cessible with Mckinley to the influ-
ence of public sentiment. He made a
marked pretext of religion. He had
no small vices. He finally went crazy.
Nearly all these characteristics are re-
peated in Mckinley, and Daniel Web
ster said in a speech delivered in
congress April IA, 1926, that any
statesman who should propose to at
tach to the United States distant, I'M
natural and unassimilable territory
would be a mad man.

by the aged sovereign simply to show
the Irish people how fully she appre-

kindly deed, it may have more eG-

upon justice, but England and Irs-

with complete control over local ad-

the two peoples was not healed. The
