At the beginning of the work OF
building our republic they said the
United States ARE and this plural
form was used in the constitution and
often since then. But more and more
it has been determined that the Unit
ed States lis" and particularly, since
the Civil War when the indivisability
of the Union was established. We
have always stood for the singular
form, and nave had good company in
the contention that it is justified by
grammar, sentiment and fact. In re-
cent years this singular form has been
used in official utterances of the gov
eminent, and it is worthy of note that
the special commission for the revision
of the penal code of the United States
whose report has just been made, has
changed the United States are" to
'the United States is" in the several
instances where it occurs.

Where. o. where is Mary McLane of
Butte. Montana? Is she writing an
other book or has her trip to the East
robbed her of her wild and woolIy
individuality and made her something

is in obscurity, and no doubt she finds
its cool shade more grateful than the

The Death Of Edna LyaiI.

When people read in the newspapers.
early in the week, that Ada Ellen
Bayly, an English authQress, had died
of pneumonia, there was little in the
announcement to interest them. But
when 1t was stated that her PEN name
was Edna Lyall' 1t was something
that came very close to the hearts OF
a million people on both sides OF the
Atlantic. Since 1879 when Won by
Waiting" appeared, she has written
many books. Not all are well known,
but some of them have been among
the most popular novels of their time.
and deservedly so. Donovan "A
Hardy Norseman," Knight Errant,'
I'm the Golden Days" and I'VE Two
are among the best known and best
loved of the list, wholesome stories all
of them and making better men and
people who have read them.
She probably never considered her
work as an attempt at genuine litera-
ture but she always had good story
to tell and it never made the story less
enjoyable or the lovers less lovable
that there was an occasional little SER
mon hidden in the pages. Though she
will be ranked as little more than a
minor novelist, her popularity in Eng
land and America has been remark
able and has stood the test OF a
quarter of century. Her loss will be
