One of the important conferences
of the year is the pure food confer

matter. Eventually there must be

Zelaya is quoted as saying that "he
is still president of Nicaragua. al
though he may never go back to en-
joy the privileges of his office" No

The President and the insurgents.

We believe that it is most important
for the party and the nation that the
presidents attitude toward the insur-
gents be kept clear and distinct in the
popular eye. Nor would we lay less
emphasis on the value of the formal
statement issued by the insurgents
that without exception we are firm
supporters of Republican doctrines
and President Tafts administration"

ROME's INFAMOUS PERIOD
Time When the Ancient City's Illus
trous Personaees Were Nearly
All NotoriousIy Vicious.

1t is well-known that there Is In
Roman history period which, from
the reputation that it bears, may well
be called infamous. This extends
from the death of Sulla to the death
of Nero, including the end of the Re-
public and the early years of the en-
pire. This period has a very bad
reputation; not only was it full Of
disorder, civil war; scandalous law
suits, but nearly all of its most Illus
trious personages were VIGOROUSLY
vicious, beginning with the most IL
lustrious of them all, Julius Caesar.
All were deep In debt, drunkards,
gluttons, spendthrifts; they were dis
solute, when not accused outright Of
giving themselves up to the most de-
grading pollution. There is no in
fanny that has not been attributed to
them. Only a very few have es-
capped from this universal censure;
and, with the exception of Pompey
and Agrippa, those who did escape
were Of minor Importance. The 9th
ers were either odious in the extreme
or else depraved like Lucullus, Cras-
sus, Antony, Augustus, Maecenas, tt
berius, Nero--to say nothing of the
women of the Claudian line, who,
when they were not poisoners out
right, were women of evil life, about
whom historians tell every kind of
horror Guglielmo Ferrero in At
lantic.
