LOVES HIS COUNTRY.
Illinois Statesman Who Stands for
Honor in Politics.
Robert r. Hit, Chairman of the House

Service Improved.

Robert R. Hit, who has just been
renominated for congress, and who
has been mentioned by his personal
friends for United States senator, is
now serving his tenth full term as
representative Of the Ninth Illinois
district.
He was born in Urbana, o., in 1884,
but when he was three years of age he
removed with his parents 10 Illinois,
where he received his early education
at Rock River seminary, now called
Mount Morris college. Later he at
tended De Pauw university, where he
made d brilliant record as a.student.
While still young man Mr.. Hit
decided that the field of politics, with
its opportunity for high endeavor and
strenuous action, should be his life
work. The famous debates between
Lincoln and Douglas, which he attend
ed and reported. are said TO have also
strongly influenced his decision.
Believing that thorough preparation
is an essential for success, Mr.. HIT
made close study of political science,
and that he did so to some purpose
was evidenced in. bis appointment dur
ing Grants second administration as
secretary of the American Legation at
Paris, which position he held for
seven years, part of the time acting
as charge d'affaires. Returning to
America, he became assistant secre-
tary of state, and the following year
he was elected a representative from
Illinois in the Forty-Eeventh congress,
and has been returned at every success

With fire in his eyes and clenched
fists he demanded that Capt. McKen-

stranger, who refused TO divulge his

He was penniless. but enough money

During his career as a representa-

democratic paper, Mr.. Hit has con-
stantly urged improvement in the con-
sular and diplomatic service, and has
strongly opposed anti-Chinese legis-
latiOn which violated treaties. He has
warmly advocated reciprocity and
friendship with all the American re-
publics, and il was owing to his in
fluence that warlike resolutions were
not adopted against Mexico, as a re-
suit of the Cutting case. 1t was also
in consequence Of his individual effort
that the house adopted the resolution
providing for a commercial union with
Canada.
Mr.. Hit has always been public

term, and his labors as a member of
the worlds fair committee aided much
to secure the fair for Chicago.
His long residence in France in the
diplomatic service, and his experience
as assistant secretary of state. thor
oughly prepared him for the place on
the foreign relations committee which
he has held with such marked ability.

The Ens,,.h Are Unmilitary.

The Engltsh Are Unmilitary.
Partly from historical and partly per.
haps from rectal causes the English
are essentially unmilitary. They resent
the control of soldiers. They dlstrust
military ideals. No government that
ever existed in this country was more
unpopular than that Of Oliver Cromwell
and his major generals. Its unpopu-
larity left an indelible mark on English
institutions. For many years 1t made
it impossible to have a standing army.
Even when the course of events made
it necessary to concede that much to
the military necessities Of the time 1t
still remained a maxim for centuries
with all politicians that as little power
as possible must be granted to the sol.
diers; that their business was to fight
our wars, and, this being done, that
there was little or no place for them in
the body polite.
We do not think it necessary to de-
fend this attitude of mind. Like most
popular feelings, it is largely unjust,
but also, like many popular feelings, 1t
is based to some extent on true con.
ception. Politically, using the word in
its largest sense, the domination Of the
military idea in state is calamitous.
1t tends, we believe, to destroy individ
uality and is a serious menace to indi.
vidual liberty. - English Monthly Re

The Third Handle.

The best account of the origin Of the
loving cup comes from the late Lord
Lyons, British ambassador. at Paris.
Henry Nv Of France while hunting be-
came separated from his companions
and, feeling thirsty, called at wayside
inn for cup Of wine. The serving
maid on handing it to him us he sat on
horseback neglected to present the han.
ole. Some wine was spilled, and his
majesty's white gauntlets were soiled.
While riding home he bethought him
that two handled cup would prevent
q recurrence Of this, so his majesty
had two handled cup made at the
royal potteries and sent it to the inn.
On his next visit he called again for
wine, when. to his establishment, the
maid, having. received instructions
from her mistress to be very careful OF
the kings cup, presented 1t to him by
holding it herself by each Of its ham
dies. At once the happy idea struck
the king of cup with three handles,
which was promptly acted upon, as his
majesty quantity said, Surely, out Of
three handles I shall be able to get
onew Hence the loving cup.

management for the hearty support
they have given every endeavor in be-
half of the summer school.
Briefly summed up the thought we
may take away from the work done
during the past three weeks is that
not only must we impart knowledge
to our pupils, but we must develop
their mental powers and train them
in skill, that there is an ethical side
to the several subjects, and that the
training of the expressional phase Of
human nature, whether it be in music,
painting, drawing or composition is
legitimate and praise-worthy. After
all these are the things which soften
the harsh lines of toll and care, maxi
ing life happier and more worth liv-
ing.
