1t takes much more courage in the
everyday work of life to live up to the
high ideals of life than it does in war
where the bands are playing and the ex-
element of the hour carries men on to the
face of death. Many men face the cam
mons mouth because it is less dangerous
than turning to run the other way. In
battle the great generals have told us there
is little personal courage exhibited. A
regiment has one or two daring men who
press forward and the others follow.
In the humdrum of life there is no
band, no lannon's roar, no one exhorting

y~Washington, July 1.-Twenty-eight
consular offices were closed, seven
teen new offices were established.
seven offices were moved and about a
dozen increases in salaries were made
as q result of a complete reorganiza-
ton of the United States consular
service, which became effective today
under the provisions of an act passed
at the last session of congress. Other
posts will be awarded to- consuls
whose offices were closed, SO that none
will suffer from the readjustment.
Out of the twenty-eight offices
closed, nine are located in Germany,
nine in Canada and the ten others are
scattered over the rest of the world
The German consulates abandoned are
at Annaberg, Bamberg, Crefeld, Dus-
-seldorf, Eibenstock, Freiburg, Glau-
chau, Mainz and zittau, while the
Canadian posts closed are Belleville,
Port Hope, Port Rowan, Coaticook,
Gaspe, ST. Hlyacinthe, Three Rivers,
Windsor and Woodstock. The other
posts discontinued are: Lucerne, st.
Christopher, Jalapa, Castellamare di
Stabia, Catanai, Utila, Funchai, Port
Stanley, Antigua and Jamestown.
The consular offices in Syria is trans
ferred from Alexandretta to Mersine;
that at Collingwood, Ont, to Owen
Sound; that at La Rochelle, France,
to Cognas. The post at Pretoria, in
South Africa, is moved to Johannes
yurg. The consulate at San Juan del
Norte, Nicaragua, is changed to Blue
fields and that at Tuxpan, Mexico, to
Salina Cruz. Erfurt, Germany is con-
:sidered a better consular location than
Weimar, and the consulate at the lat
ter place was moved.
New consulates were established at
the following places: Aleppo, Alexan-
dria, Antung, Corinto, Fernie, Rlume,
Frontera, Guadalajara, Karachi, Mad
.ras Punta Arenas. Rangoo, Salonki,
San Luis Potosi, Swallow, Tapachula
and Tripoli
These changes are made because a
redistribution of the various posts is
necessary to protect properly the in
terests of American manufacturers
abroad. In some instances the posts
abolished have for several years
not only not been paying expenses
but some have actually been carried
on the list. at dead loss of several
thousand dollars. Take the consulate
at jamestown, on the island of st. He
lena, for instance. This office costs !

indeed serious. If the statements of

Let the sheriffs Do Their Duty,

The last legislature passed law re-
curing the sheriff of each county to
get from the internal revenue collector
of the federal government a list of
the names in his county to whom fed
eral liquor licenses have been issued.
The object in view is to determine
who are violating the state prohibition
law. The possession of a federal H.
cense, according to this act, is prima
facie evidence of guilt-Port Gibson

CONSULAR SERVICE HAS
NUMEROUS CHANGES TODAY

$2,475 year, while the services the
Consul is called upon to perform are
practically nil. Only SIG was received
in fees last year. The United States
is the only great Power now main
tanning an office there and its closing
will result in no injury whatever to
American trade.
In the last twenty-four years the ac-
tual cost of the consular service
amounted to $2,1OS,934, or an average
cost of $S7,S72 a year.
Many of the consulates abolished
were established years ago for reasons
which were regarded as sufficient at
that time, but which no longer exist.
At one time the law required that an
exporter to the United States of duti-
able goods must appear in person be-
fore a Consul and make oath to the
correctness of his invoices, and at the
solicitation of such exporters and of
importers and trade bodies in the
United States and abroad, because of
the inconvenience to shippers in being
obliged to appear. at distant towns
with their invoices, consulates were
established at many places where
there we're practically no other reasons
for maintaining consulate. Under the
present laws and regulations, however,
the personal appearance of the ship
pers is not required, but the invoices
may be sent to the consulate by mes
senger of by mail and thus the null
tiplicity of consulates at towns but
few miles apart is no longer necessary
or desirable.
Consulates were also established at
towns which at the time had some i'm
portance from a consular standpoint,
as at Gaspe, Quebec, once thriving
centre of fishing interests but now an
unimportant and remote village. Other
consulates were established without
reasons apparent to the Department
as in the case of Japala, Mex, which
was created without the recommends
ton of the Department and for no
reason known to it.

That Swan Olson, who it is sup

sons sanity.
The case was to have been tried
in the district court within a few
days, but the attorneys for the de-
Tense set up the plea that Olson is
insane at this time, and therefore,
according to law could not be plac-
ed on trial. A jury was according
ly summoned and Olson was tried,
not for murder, but to determine
whether or not he was insane.
The taking of evidence only oc-
cupied about two hours, and tn:
case went to the jury about foul
o'clock, but it was near midnight
before verdict was reached, de
claring him insane.
