DOdger at Migration Time.
The snipe, properly Wilson's snipe.
GallinagO delicata. but commonly
known as English snipe and wrong
fully called half a dozen other names
Is widely distributed species. 1t Wis
its every state at some season. Its
northward migration extends within
the arctic circle while it is known to go
southwark To northern South America
and the West Indies. Comparatively
few OF the birds which move north
ward from February unity May breed
south OF the international line 1t Is
quite true there are breeding grounds
at various points Of the northern states,
but the great breeding range extends
from latitude 10 degrees north to some
undetermined point much nearer the
pole than most sportsmen will venture.
Some time in September the first
southbound birds pass below the Cana
dian grounds, and soon most Of the
suitable marShy bits Of east and west
have their share of long billed prizes.
Then begins an astonishing attack
which extends from ocean to ocean and
generally sweeps southwark from Can

lead, half of which is wasted, are fired
at the artful dodger.-Edwyn Sandys

AMERICAN SOCIETY.
Its Basis, Whether We DeplOre or
Ignore II, Is Wealth.

American society" says Ainslee's,
"has been definitely established upon
a monetary basis. We may deplOre the
fact, or we may ignore it, but 1t Is a
fact, and ii is very much the wisest
thing to admit it with dispassiOnate
frankness. For If we assume our social
standards and conditions to be differ
ent from what they really are, how
are we going 10 study them and under
stand them and get ut their philoso-
ply? From the point Of view of n sci
entitic observer, the classification or
everybody and everything according to
a financial principle Of division, is a
good thing. for it greatly simplifies
the whole subject.
Formerly there was no classification
Of any kind. American life was n
chaos. socially, full of all sorts OF
anomalies and incOngruitiCs. Every
section Of the country had its own
standard Of distinction, and this stand
ard was recognized and respected no
where else Thus il New England lit
erary, scholastic or theological emil
nence was held to confer certain
cachet upon those who had obtained 1t.
In the microcosm OF which Philadel-
phia used to he the center ancestry
counted most of all. This was also true
to some extent of the south, yet there,
as In the west political prominence
carried with 1t social leadership. New
York-always more or less impossible
to formulate-was Il place where there
existed social wheels within wheels
and social planes that never touched;
though, on the whole perhaps the com
bination of ancestry and money meant
In those days what money alone means
Mt the present time"

% VIRGINIA SWALLOWWORT.
It's Beautiful Blossoms Are Pitfalls
For Bees and Bugs.

Honey bees and insects and bugs OF
less degree find pitfalls and often death
in the beautiful blossoms of the milk
weed, otherwise known as the Virginia
swallowwort. IL these flowers are ex-
amined any sunny day, one will be
pretty sure to find them decorated with
a miscellaneous assortment Of strug-
Cling or dead insects with their legs
fast in the Sits Of the peculiar bios
SONS. The pollen Of this common plant.
instead of being a powder, as In the
case OF most plants, consists Of sticky.
waxen masses hidden within the bios
som. When a visiting insect thrusts
a proboscis or leg into the opening OF
such a flower, some of these masses
stick TO II. and the natural course is for
the insect to fay Off to another flower
and fertiliZe this with the adhering pol
len. All insects, however, are not strong
enough to eXtricate their legs from the
sticky places, and then ensues the slow
torture Of hanging there until death or
a helping hand releases them from mis-
cry. Besides being beautiful, 1t could
be quite useful plant If we cared to
develop its virtues. Thus its milky
Juice contains caoutchouc. Brown sug-
ar has been made from the flowers.
The silky hairs of the seeds are serv-
iceable in the manufacture Of textile
fabrics, as cotton is, and a fiber Of
good quality for ropemaking may be
extracted from the stalk.

FRANcHisE-KNoss
VIEW.

Washington. Nov. Is. The status
VI the canal negotiations between the
United states and Colombia was the
subject Of conference In the white
House offices this morning between
the President and Senator Cullom
chairman Of the senate Committee on
Foreign Relations. There seems TO be
an increasing uDanimity Of opinion
among public men that aggressive ac'
ton should be taken by this Govern
ment and that the dilatory and OBJ.
structive tactics OF Colombia should
be met here by official action Of no un.
certain nature.
Senator Cullom has been making q
careful study of the question from the
standpoint of international law. He
is not committed TO the view that 1t
is absolutely necessary for the Unit
lomba in order TO secure the right to
builS the canal on the Panama route.
On the contrary. he inclines to the
belief that this country can build the
waterway without entering into such
a treaty.
Cullom talked to the President
along these lines. and may make a
public statement to this effect in the
near future II his further investiga
tons support this view of the mat
ter.
The basis of Cullom's view is, In
! brief, that full authority for the con
i struction OF the canal will be secured
when this country pays the purchase
price to the new Panama Canal Com
pany for all IFS rights and privileges
Attorney General Knox has declared
the company's title valid. and. will
that official opinion in hand, Cullou
believes entire dependence can b.
placed on the rights secured from thu
present holders OF the concession anC

be ended.

SHOULD MEN BE COMPELLED TO
VOTE!
' cry q UIF,
A. SLOW COME.

Not few thoughtful people have for
long time discussed the wisdom OF law
requiring every qualified voter to exercise
the right of suffrage. Some years ago
Hon. David Bennett Hill wrote an elab
crate article advocating sucn change in
our organic law as to compel every citizen
to take part in the selection of the men
entrusted with the duties OF government.
He made strong presentation of his case
and made some comments on compulsory
voting. But little of the agitation has
been heard of late years.
1t may not be known that New York
has a law that Indirectly seeks to accom-
plish the same result. IL does not compel
a man to vote, but makes it to his inter-
est to vote. There are 100000 voters in
Greater New York. Two years ago 49,,
coo of these failed to vote in the guberna
torial election. The last Legislature
adopted method to induce these men to
vote by passing a law providing that
those who do not register shall first be
summoned for jury duty, those actually
registering and voting being exempt from
jury duty until those who have not reg
istered shall have served. The political
managers expect that this law will result
in large registration this year, and they
arc taking pains to bring the new law to
nf ri
The people OF the whole country will
watch this experiment, radical depart
uro from old time ideas, with interest.
The desire to escape jury duty is SO great
that many men will eagerly embrace the
opportunity to do so by voting. But is
the selfish citizen. too absorbed in his
own affairs to take enough interest in
good government to votes he the fittest
man for a juror?

Before the meeting adjourned the Re-

like that quoted? II proof were needed

AN HONEST MANS THE MODEST
WORK OF GOD.

Many men whose honesty is so pro-
nounced that they would not touch a
doubtful penny seem not to think it
wrong to let the value OF their property
"swink'' when they go to give 1t in
for taxation. This is not generally be-
cause the man in question is unwilling
to bear his just proportion OF taxation,
but because he feels that, il he gives in
his property at its true value, he will
be compelled to pay more than his share
of the expense OF government because
so many others under-value their prop
erty II system could be devised that
would put premium upon honest re-
turns for taxation, instead or keeping
Lack part of the value, it would be the
greatest discovery OF the age.
There is in North Carolina a retired
statesman. one of the most gifted aud
patriotic men the State has produced, who
sets an example worthy OF emulation. 1t
is thus told us by the Roanoke Chowan
Times:
at listing time in juno General Ran
som had some cotton that was estimated
to be forty bales which he listed fol
taxation Since then he has ginned the
cotton and it turned out to be eighty in
stead OF forty listed. Last Monday he
appeared before the county commission
ers and asked the privilege of listing the
additional forty bales, which request was
granted General Ransom is no tax dod-
ger.
Which leads us to ask II Diogcnes can
show such a record for honesty 1t is
forever true that IAN honest man is. the
ncblest work of God Is not the true
test OF honesty found in such rare
act as is recorded OF ex-senator Ran
