What Is there about the practice of total abstinence fatal to d sense of humor? Here are some clergynen In New York meeting and resolving to send message of congratul&tiol to the kaiser. through the customary diplomatic channels, upon his resolu- ton to abstain hereafter from alco- hollC beverages. This purely gratui- tous expression of sentiment would. or course, be hotly resented in Ger many. It is usually an excellent plan to mind ones own business .-Provi- dence Journal.
 The classic faces of the girls on the nickelS and pennies are pro- nounccd out of date and are to be changed. Within q short time some prominent sculptor will be invited by the secretary of the treasury to sub init new designs for jhe coins men toned. Augustus saint Gaudens was working on the design for the five cent piece when he was stricken by illness, and it was not sufficiently ad vanced when he died to give those who came after him definite idea of what he intended to create.-Nor- WiCh Record.
 The sentence of the labor leaders by Judge Wright of the supreme court of the District of Columbia. tcs titieS to the intention of the judges to maintain the integrity and dignity of the courts against all who openly and Intentionally defy them The courts are the lAst recourse of the people and if they can be flouted and defied by any class of men, no matter how large. then they are worthless and their power to protect the people is broken The vast majority of the intelligent people of the country will uphold the courts.-Bridgeport Standard.
 Apropos of very prevalent opln- ion which has gained credcnce among a certain class of people in this country, regarding the conduct of the average United States sailor, the reports which have come from the countries visited by the battle ship fleet are significant. The gen eral opinion from all over the world seems to be that the men of the Unit ed States fleet were gentlemen as well. When on shore leave the ma iority have lived up to their conf dencc reposed in them by their su- periors They have seemed to req lize the dignity of their position and in few cases have they been false to it.-Meriden Record.
