Strange things happen in the world In

dilemma vas for the King 90 sign the
oath printed in the book containing the
order Of the service. The fact that he
did so Is recorded in an interesting note
by the primate OF the time. which is
historic as explaining a remarkable omis-

More Human Greed.

Public indignation over the greed
of the soft coal mine owners is intense.
These greedy, grasping fellows have
had months wherein to supply the de-
mand, but they held back, doubtless
in the hope that the hard coal situa-
ton would enable them to get extor-
tionately high prices for their prod
ucts. Scarcely ever has greed mani
tested itself more Extensively than in
this instance. Bend Times.
Human greed general hoggishness
is at the bottom of all our troubles

thing less than the earth. There
ought to be some way of curbing this

Not Peat; Only Turf.

The South Bend Times asserts that
there are no beds of genuine peat in
Indiana. 1t says the stuff in this
part of the state supposed to be peat
is simply turf. The latter is compoS-
ed of vegetable matter decayed-
leaves, grass. twlgs, etc., decompoSl-
ton, forming the article often called
peat, but in reality turf. Peat is a
sort of moSS-a distinct species of
vegetable matter imbued with life the
same as grass, water crosses. etc. The
two are almost universally COMPOUNDED.
Peat can be gathered and stacked and
no rains will cause its deterioration.
1t grows in the water, and, although
dry and inflamable, years Of exposure
to rains will not harm it, according to
information gathered by The Times
reporter on this subject.

Behind the Times.

The mails just now are loaded down
with letters and circulars sent but by
campaign committees. The object of
sending out these appeals and admoni-
tions is to arouse personal inteteSt in
campaign work. That vast amount
of paper and postage is wasted every
campaign by both of the leading par
ties goes without saying. Not one
out Of fifty of the persons addressed
pays the slightest attention to these
manifestoS. 1t is an old-time custom
that has long since passed into innocu-
Gus desuetude. Money and time
could be saved by taking cognizance
of this fact.-South Bend Times.

hint that the sultan of Turkey would
