A HINT TO GERMANY.

England is Not to Leave It's Getaways
Without Locks Hereafter.
1t is rather amusing to- find the Ger
man press manifestlng aggrieved sur
prise over the new naval plans of the
British Admiralty Mr.. Balfour an
nonuced yesterday that a fortified
naval station is to be established on the
north side Of the Firth Of Forth. 1t has
practically been decided also detach a
portion Of the feet and assign it to
cruising duty in the North Sea and in
the Baltic. The innocent surprise which
the Germans display over the receipt of
this intelligence is really touching in
its simplicity. Why it really looks,
they say, as though the English were
preparing to protect themselves from
any possible attack on the part of
Germany!
1t does, to be sure, rather look that
way. But why the Germans should be
so startled and so shocked about it is
something of psychological problem.
During the past year or two the Ger
man naval authorities have been giving
particular attention to the construction
of works at Kiel, especially intended
to provide for the rapid mobilization of
transports for the purpose of convey
ing an invading army to the British
coast. The German press has again
and again announced this fact with
glee. German naval officers have writ
ten long articles in the service maya
zines to show how cleVery this invasion
scheme could be carried out, and even
in the Reichstag the subject has been
referred to with general appreciation.
Under the circumstances, what did the
Germans suppose that the British
Government would do? It was
NOTORIOUS fact that the British coast on
the North Sea was without any efficient
protection, and here was a potential
enemy making active preparations to
descend upon it in certain eventuali-
! ties. Even if the English people were
afflicted with all the Dummheit which

else IS served. What IS home without
a mothe. % Yes. that is all right, but
what is home without father: Ten
chances to one it is a boarding house,
father is under a slab and the land
lady is the widow. Dad. here's to you;
you've got your faults-yOu may have
lots Of 'em-but you're all right. and We
shall miss you when you're gone.
We take pleasure in passing along
this feeling tribute to an almost for
gotten and unnoticed hero. Father is
all right, when he doesn't drink and
isn't shiftless.

A WORD FOR TATH FER,

Too much cannot be said in praise Of
mother, but perhaps it is possible to say
too little of fathers merit. The editor
of the Stevens County (Missour) Re-
vile went visiting the other day, and
where he was visiting he saw the
legend worked in letters of red, What
is home without a mother?" Across
the room was another brief, God bless
our home" This moved him to the fol-
lowing remarks: Now, what's the mat
ter with God bless bless our dad?"
He gets up early, lights the fire, boils
an egg, grabs his dinner pail and wipes
off the dew of the dawn with his boots
while many mother is sleeping. He
makes the weekly hand out for the
baker, and his little pile is badly worn
before he has been home an hour. He
rent paid up. If there is a noise dur
ing the night dad is kicked in the back
and made to go down stairs to find the
burglar and kill him. Mother darns
the socks, but dad bought the socks in
the first place and the needles and the
yarn afterward. Mother does up the
fruit, but dad bought it all and jars
and sugar cost like the mischief. Dad
buys chickens for the Sunday dinner,

Her lips said Go; her shining eyes said
Stay"
How tell which was her meaning, which
her will:
How read the riddle Of her yea and may,
And disentagle each, bewildered still:
Hearing kr chilling tone, all hope expired;
Seeing her glowing eyes, despair took
heart;
One moment certain of the good desired;
One moment turning, hopeless, to depart
Then as she stood, with half averted face
From head to feet yelled from his ardent
eyes,
Sudden She changed, and with triumphant
Flung off the mantle of her souls dis
guise,
Sweet hyrocritc! how false was all hel
feigning,
Turning for flight, yet, while she turned

1t is astonishing what a difference a
State line may make. The people of
Rhode Island are only separated from
US by State line. and yet how differ
ent they are. Their governor says that
some of them are wicked enough to buy
votes, and that they do buy votes. This
is the way he talks about it: No gener-
al election passes without, in some Sec
ton of the State, the purchase Of votes
by one or both of the great political par
ties. 1t is true that the results of the
election may not often be changed so
far as the candidates on the State ticket
are concerned, but many Assemblymen
occupy the seats they do by means Of
purchased votes. In a considerable
number Of our towns bribery is so COM
mon and has existed for so many years
that the awful nature of the crime has
ceased to impress. In some towns the
bribery takes place openly, is not called
DAlOCASI lAO4 GO4ASlISI Gu d SClIOuo mat
ter. The money paid to the voter,
whether 81, IS or $40, is spoken of as a
payment for his time.
This is a sad condition Of things.
Awhile ago it was said that Rhode ISL
and turkeys came over into Connecticut
to get fat. That wasn't true, but doubt
less they would do well to come over.
So would those voters of Rhode Island
who need lessons in good citizenship.

DR.. Dupree has found from investiga-
tons made in Louisiana that the eggs
of mosquitoes are often Matched months
after they are laid, especially if deposit
ed in ponds which subsequently dry up.
He concludes that the determination of
mosquitoes by oil or by otherwise treat
ing ponds during March and April is
useless, as the Matching is going on all
the time.

Colonel Wamsley, of Randolph coun-
ty, Virginia, was excused from jury
duty, to which he had been drawn, on
an original and unique excuse. The
colonel keeps a ground hog and is test
ing its reliability as weather prophet,
and coming to court in Elkins would
greatly interfere with his study of the
natural history of ground hogs. Colo
mel Wamsley claimed that science
would probably lose more by breaking
into his course of study than justice
would gain by his jury service, and he
was accordingly excused from serving
on the jury.

One of the Australian Catholic pre-
lates has been publicly protesting
against the unpopularity into which the
good old names of Patrick and Bridget
have fallen among the Irish parents of
that commonwealth. He is tired of
hearing Hibernian fathers asking that

and Hibernian mothers clamoring for
Gladys" "Gwendolen" and Maud"
He has even had to listen to such &C.
centric suggestions as 'Ironbark' and

tralian trees) at the font. He says he
cannot understand why Paddy and Bid
dy should not be considered quite as
good and euphonious as Billy, Jenny or

An association, with headquarters in
Paris, has been found to study the de-
velopment of the cultivation of cotton
In all its forms in the French colonies,
and to encourage the purchase and use
of cotton grown in these colonies by the
industries of France. 1t also intends
to grant subsidies to those who will
make experiments in the cultivation of
cotton in the French colonies. That this
movement is prompted by apprehension
of the American terror" is shown in
the opening sentence of the first circular
issued by the association, which is: "In
view Of the ever-increasing tendency on
the part of the United States to monop-
olize everything, with the undisguised
motive of becoming master of the Old
World by the power of production and
the strength of capital" etc.

with the proposition which he made
when here some weeks ago.

IN favor of having Mr. Street submit
his written propositions. When they ar

council will agree to accept the terms
which he proposes
Councilman Weber was the only one
who opposed the plan last night. He is
radically against anything except law
suit with the company, as ne thinks the
price set on the plant is far too high.
Most of the members of the councis
declared that they believed it advisable
to get as good terms as pOssibic
from President Street before the water
works election. so that voters can un-

be provided they vote against the pro-
position. President Street frankly
