Johnny, intent upon proving to the
twins the ease with which torpedoes
could be made, mixed more ''stuffing..'
Mariannina cut two covers; and there
were now two brand-new homemade tor
pedoes, one for Isabel and one for Anna
bel.
"Aim, fire, bangr shouted Johnny. Isa-
bel and Amabel obeyed. A painful sur
prise awaited them. The little white
balls dropped as gently as kernels of pop
corn.
Then Uncle Joey had to come out and
set all things right in the eyes of every
body When the truth was known, and
Angelina and Isabel and Amabel found
they had bought common store torpedoes,
they objected.
Il only bought 'em," said Angelina,
"'cause l thought they were home

"All right" said Uncle Joey, kindly;
''bring the torpedoes and you can have
your money"
"But we've fired 'em all off,
well" replied Uncle Joey, Il suppose

pocket" But as he had no change small
err than fve-cent pieces, he was obliged
to give FIVE cents to Angelina and five
to the twins. Then it occurred to him
that it was rather cruel to leave out
John Hancock and Mariannina; so he
gave FIVE cents to each of these.

THE STARS AND STRIPES.
Resolution of Congress Which Made
Them the National Emblem.

Them the National Emblem.
Probably all Americans believe that
they know their national flag when they
see it, vet are certainly unable to distin-
guish between the standard Stars and
Stripes and its spurious limitations. It
is desirable for all to remember that the
flag is not a haphazard arrangement of
alternate stripes of red and white, with
stars on a blue field, but an emblem
fashioned in a manner prescribed by law
and official regulations.
The first national legislation on the
subject bears date June Ii, 1777, when
Congress, in session at Philadelphia,
adopted the following:
Resolved, That the flag of the thir
teen United States be thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white; that the union
be thirteen stars, white, in a blue field
representing a new constellation
This was about one year subsequent
to the Declaration of Independence
Prior to that time colonial flags, and
those improvised by the parties using
them, We're publicly displayed as occa-
sion demanded, but these were in no
sense the national Standard
The thirteen stripes had been intro
duced, in alternate white and blue, on
the upper left-hand corner of a stand
ard presented to the Philadelphia Light
Horse Company by its captain in the
early part of 17T5. Moreover, the flag
of the thirteen united colonies raised at
Washington's headquarters at Cambridge
Jan. 2, 1776, had the thirteen stripes
just an they are this day, but it also had
the cross of st. George and st. Andrew
on a blue ground in the corner.

Thirty OF the leading seed dealers
of the country have sent President
Roosevelt a petition protesting against
the free distribution of seeds by MEM
bers of congress. and urging him to
include in his message a paragraph
disappearing the present practice and
recommending that only the intent of
the original act authorizing distribu-
ton be the future policy. is the report
that comes from Washington city.
This intent, the petition says, was
that the seeds should be obtained from
remote corners of the earth and be
known to the people of this country
and be for the purpose of increasing
the wealth of the nation.
The petitioners allege that the pres
ent practice is a "grievous restraint of
trade and that the United States
should abolish the practice as unfair,
as class legislation, antagonistic to

RAILWAY REGULATION

A result of the present agitation for railway
regulation and government ownership is the
founding of two literary bureaus to carry on a
campaign of education in defense of the railways
The New York World thinks that campaigns Of
education are always to be encouraged but holds
that the distribution of statistics is not the best
way to overwhelm the movement in favor of gov
eminent rate-making:
Instead of establishing bureaus suppose

not to tolerate determinations, to make their
rates reasonable on the basis of the actual
investment, to remedy the abuses of private
terminals and private car lnes-in short to
give all shippers and all sections fair treat
ment. The campaign in behalf of government
rate-making would collapse Immediately.
Then the railroads would be free to under
take another great work of education-the
suppression of the socalistic propaganda.
This in turn would be comparatively simple
task About all the railroads need do is to
get out of politics, stop bribing legislatures,
stop trying to send corporation lawyers to
the United States senate and stop trying to
put railway attorneys the bench. The agi-
tation in favor of government ownership Of
railroads would cease at once
The Worlds eff is the rock on which it's
, reasoning goes to pieces and the conclusion of
most thinking people who read the Worlds COM
ment will be that if the cessation of the agitation
for public ownership only awaits the time when
the railways turns public benefactors, the agita-
tion will continue increasingly until public owner
ship is an assured fact.

Such lobbyists have no honest business

which are so absolutely ruled by bosses and
machines that the lobbyist can be dispensed
with, hint or nod to the legislators from
the autocrat being more than sufficient.
The Springfield Republican deplores the fact
that railway influence is tightening its grip on
Connecticut:
Without apology and without shame the
Connecticut legislature has again publicly
made renewal of it's own allegiance and the
subserviency of the state to the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad. This is
done in the passage of bill repeating the gen.
eral law covering the construction of new
steam railroads. If the governor signs the
bill, as he presumably will, then every new
steam railroad project must secure a special
charter from the legislature, or-what is the
same thing STANDARDIZATION the New
Haven railroad COM any; and as the latter
had already succeeded in placing street rail-
way projects in similar position, It may now
be said to be in secure command of the whole
state against troublesome efforts of other cap
ital to enter the transportation industry in
Connecticut.

piled that victory for Russia would mean the
triumph of the Russian aristocracy, while
Russian defeat will mean that she will be
obliged to adopt the methods OF civilized ma
lions and give to all the people larger lib
erty and regime which is just and humane.
Thus even Russian patriotism is the patriot
ism for individual liberty and not for vic
tory which means perpetuation of individual
slavery. The whole trouble with Russia is
that she has been standing in the way of hui
man progress and that her downfall, because
of this, is inevitable.

Discussing the value of torpedo boats a
agents of destruction in naval warfare, the Ney
York Tribune says:
If the pending war shall end without any
demonstration of the virtues of the subma-
rine boat, craft of that class will doubtless
be retained by the leading navies of the
world until satisfactory test has been made.
In the opinion of Admiral Dewey and other ex-
perts the submarine might prove serviceable
in coast and harbor defense. Had Cervera
possessed solitary boat of that description
while he was cooped up at Santiago he might
possibly have SO reduced the strength of
Sampson befory trying to escape that the
attempt would have been successful More
over, aside from the physical damage which
can thus be wrought, the mere knowledge
that the besieged have submarine boat is
sure to exert demoralzing influence on a
blockading fleet. The theoretical value of
the new type of war vessel is sufficiently
great to justify it's existence until its actual
value is revealed.

The Pioneer Press believes Russia cannot
now expect any favorable turn in the tide of
war:
The last hope of Russia for turning
of the tide of disaster which has overwhelmed
it on sea and land since the war began was
lost with the complete destruction OF the
mighty armada under Rojestyensky. With
the complete and assured command OF the
seas by Japan nothing can now prevent Its
capture of Vladivostok, the last remaining
naval harbor of Russia in it's Asiatic do
minions, and the complete expulsion OF Rus
STA from every part of Manchuria. When
the flag of the mikado floats over Vladivos-
tok as it floats over Port Arthur, the revenge
of Japan will be complete. 1t does not need
that last triumph to fill to overlooking the
bitter cup of Russia's humiliation. 1t is not
laughing at the little brown men any more.

Admiral Togo's victory in the Sea of Japan is

OF this country. The future of the war, the effect
OF the battle on Russia's internal affairs, the rela-
tive value of different kinds of warships, the pros
poets of peace and minor phases O. the resultant
political situation are discussed. On point at
least the newspapers are unanimous, viz, that
Russia should sue for peace On the subject
OF peace the New York World says:
No matter what the decision of the Gar
and his ministers, the war is over. The center
of interest changes Low from the Orient to
st. Petersburg where the consequences are
likely to be as epochmaking as in ASIA The
only wise course open to the Gar is to call
council of the nation to deal with Russia's
problems and to reorganize the government
in harmony with popular aspirations. But
was despotism ever actuated by the dictates
of wisdom?

The conference of the president with the
Japanese minister, who is supposed to have stat
ed on what terms Russia could obtain peace,
and the conference with the Russian minister,
which is said to be on the cards. suggest to the
Pttsburg Leader the advisability of united action
Oh the part of the powers to end the war:
Obviously considerations of common hui
mainly demand that at this point the slaugh-
ter should be checked and that an adjust
ment by peaceful means of the dispute be-
tween the hostile powers should be arranged.
Russia, it is true, cannot be forced to agree
to such an adjustment, but whether she is
willing or unwilling, the duty of the other
powers remains the same moral Obliga-
tion rests upon them to use all means that
can be used without trespass, to persuade
the begerents to consent to arbitration and
the recognition of this obligation by all the
neutral powers acting in common surely can
not fail to make breach even in the stone
wall of Russian obstinacy.
