from Mary and have her taunt him
with lack Of courage was too much for
q young man Of his temperament.

confident Of winning the race, put her
hand up to catch the gunwale; then

'Tom!' she cried, and then all Tom
saw was pair Of frightened upturned
eyes and terror stricken face, as she
swept under the surface.
A fine predicament for lover who

her, Tom struck out into the current

annals Of Great Britain, Queen Vic
toria's reign Is also the greatest In
many respects. Since her accession to
the throne in 1887 discoveries, inven-
tons. wars and the progress Of civili-
cation have changed the whole current
and tenor Of modern history. Scarcely
a year Of the longest reign in English or
modern history but was marked with
some notable acquisition Of territory,
some remarkable discovery or inven-
ton, or some ep0ch-making moral or in
tellectual advance and improvement
In the matter Of territory alone it is suf-
ficient merely to mention the annexa-
ton Of Alden (1839), the Sinde (1S43),
the Punjab (1849), the Dude (1S58). the
Fiji Islands (1874), Burma Q886) and
Ashanti Q806. In addition by treaty
or purchase Hongkong was acquired In
1912, Pegu 1862. Sikh territory 1846.
Cyprus 1873. part Of Samoa 1899 and
the annexation Of the Transvaal and
Orange Free State In 19OO-the latter,
however, not yet an accomplished fact
Even this vast requirement Of terri
tory In almost every quarter Of the
globe does not fully represent the
growth Of the British empire during
victoria's reign. Assuming the rule Of
India In 1853 and accepting the title
Of empress Of India, 1t became neces-
sary for Victoria to guard the road to
her eastern empire, and in addition to
Gibraltar, Malta and Cyprus and tho
control Of the Sues canal England prac.
t1cally extended it, rule over Egypt and
the Sudan. A. q result Of this vigorous
world policy which under any other
sovereign but England's gracious
queen might sooner have developed
into the lust Of conquest which embit-
tered the closing years Of her life, there
have been many wars, the year 1880
being the first interval Of peace during
her long reign. Notwithstanding this
remarkable fact. 20 well beloved was
Victoria and 20 well known her love Of
peace that her reign, Viewed In retro
spect presents . sunny, smiling land
scape. unfortunately overshadowed BY
disaster and war at its close. In liter
ature, also, It has been victoria's good
fortune to give her name to an era that
stands second only to the mighty Elisa
bethan. Great poets, historians and
artists found inspiration In the peace
loving queen and dedicated their no
blest works to her praise. In science,
also. host Of great names are en-
rolled on the Victorian page, and in
statesmanship she saw the rise and
passing Of Lord John Russell, the earl
of Derby, Lord Palmerston. Bright, Dis
raeli and Gladstone statesmen who. in
spired by Victoria, held fretful
realm In ave. and made the bonds Of
freedom wider yet. And through all
the brilliant and great events Of her
reign Victoria stood first In English
hearts % q noble wife and mother and
q spotless queen, whose court was pure
and whose life was serene In its con-
sciousness Of devotion to the public
veal. OF her It may be said In the
words Of her greatest laureate.

foremost that it was populistic in
tendency, and measure too radical
even for serious consideration. He
said there was no popular demand
for such a law outside of few
administration shouters aud that
the plank PERTAINING to it was plac-
ed in the platform solely at the re-
quest of Gov. LaFollette. He be-
lieved that should the bill pass it
would be an assault upon represen-
tatlve government, and that we
would abandon the system of ma
jurity rule, for one that minorities
may rule. He attacked the section
which provides for the measure in
which platforms are TO be made. He
did not believe the people should
surrender the right of defining the
issues of the campaign. He said
further that the provisions of the
bill made 1T impossible to consider
nationality or locality. He object
Ell to the expense connected with
the bill, saying that an additional
burden of $1,000 year would be
saddled upon the tax payers of the
state, and that in the nomination
of candidates for office the centralz.
ed city vote would dictate nomina-
tlons. His address, while not as

showed some of the apparent weak

The discussion was continued
Wednesday evening in favor of the
