IDEAS ABOUT THE RAINBOW
Queer Notions Held by People OF
Different Countries Regard
inq the Bow.

In many countries the rainbow is
spoken OF as being great bent pump
or siphOn tube. drawing water from
the earth by mechapica means. In
parts of Russia, in the Don country,
and also in Moscow and vicinity, 1t
IS known by a name which is equiva-
lent to the bent water-pipe." In
Nearly all Slavoric dialects 1t Is
known by terms signifying 1.-The cloud
s;phon." and in Hungary 1t is the
pump" "Noah's pump" and Gods
pump" The Malayan natives call 1t
by the same name that they do their
manded water cobra. only that they
add "boba" (meaning dOuble-headed),
the equivalent in our language being
"tbe le-headed water-snake."
They tell you that the bow is real
thing of life. that it drinks with its
Two mouths. and that the water is
transferred to the clouds through an
opening in the upper side of the cen
ire of the great arch. In the province
of Charkav. Russia. the rainbow Is
said to drain the wells. and to prevent
this many are provided with heavy
tight-ftting stone platforms.

Pennsylvania cavalry, and as early as
1865 was made breyet brigadier gen
eral "for gallant and meritoriOus serv-
ice in the campaign ending with the
surrender of the insurgent army under
Gen. Robert z. Lee" In 1855 he en-
tered the army again as captain OF
cavalry, was mentioned twice in dis
patches and won promotion for distin-
guished service at Sulphur Springs
and atterward at Amelit Springs, Va.
In Cuba during the Spanish war he
commanded the Second army corps,
and when that war was over he went
to the Philippines as brigadier general,
and was later made governor Of north
western Luzon. Returning to this
country he was made commander Of
the department of California until he
was detached to become president of
the war college in Washington, which
he held until he was made chief of the
general staff. until the time came for
his retirement by law.
The hero of many a battle and
man VINO has seen more hard service
than most, he could not have found
more congenial task than the duty that
is now his as governor Of the soldiers
home. He has a beautiful home on the
ground environed by beauty and filled
with relics of his world wanderings.
About him everywhere are reminders
of the profession which has been his
life work, and as 1t has been with him
wears so It is now; it is the bugler's
reveille that awakes him in the morn
ing and at night when the birds and
souirrels have disappeared and the
dormitories where the veterans rest
are silent, it is TO the music OF
Lights Out" that he falls asleep.

CANADA THE BEST in TRADE
Year, $216,ooo, 900; Mexico
Next.

Export trade of the United States
to South America. North America and
Africa during the last fiscal year in
creased over the exports of the previ-
Gus year, while exports to Europe and
Asia declined according to statistics
furnished by the department of com
merce and labor. The increase in ex-
ports to North American Countries
over the preceding year was 241s per-
cent, the increase to South America
% per cent. and to Africa 9 per cent
while to Europe the decline was about
one per cent. and to Asia and Oceanla
a little more than one per cent.
Detailed figures show the value on
1910 exports to South America to be
1913, 900, as compared with $76,50O.1
600 in 1909; to North America $685.

The chief growth in the exports or
the country, 1t is shown, has been with
the near neighbors. To Canada, the

lature which refused to carry out the
Republican governors recommends
lions: and although it was only a
minority Of the Republican members
which brought about this refusal, the
party cannot escape a measure Of re-
sponsibility for the failure; but It Is
only just to remember that clear
majority of the Republican members
of each house supported the Dill
whereas three-fourths or over OF the
Democrats opposed 1t. This is one
of the cases where 1t is easier TO ap'
portion individual than party RESPONSE
hility.
Those who believe that by their
action they have definitely checked
the movement for direct popular prf
maries are, in my judgment, mistaken
In it's essence, this is a movement to
make the government more demo
cratic. more responsive to the wishes
and needs Of the people as whole
With our political machinery 1t Is es'
sential to have an efficient party, but
the machinery ought to be suited to
democratic and not oligarchic customs
and habits. The question whether In
a self-governing republic we shall
have self-governing parties is larger
than the particular bill. We hold that
the right of popular self-government is
incomplete unless 1t includes the right
of the voters not merely to choose be-
tween candidates when they have
been nominated, but also the right to
determine who these candidates shall
be. Under our system Of party gov.
eminent, therefore, the voters should
be guaranteed the right to determine
within the ranks Of their respective
organizations who the candidates OF
the parties will be, no less than the
right to choose between the cand-
dates when the candidates are pre-
sented them. There Is no desire to
break down the responsibility of
party organization under duly constt-
tuted party leadership, but there Is
desire to make this responsibility real
and to give the members of the party
the right to say whom they desire to
execute this leadership. In New York
state no small part of the strength OF
the movement has come from the pop
ular conviction that many Of the men
most prominent in party leadership
tend at times to forget thaa in a
democracy the function Of political
leader must normally be to lead, not
to drive We, the men who compose
the great bulk of the community, wish
to govern ourselves. We welcome
leadership, but we wish our leaders
to understand that they derive their
strength from us, and that, although
we look to them for guidance, we ex-
pect this guidance to be in accord
ance with our interests and our

&NNE est and most disinterested
public opinion as regards
most of his measures and
positions, and | think that this has
been markedly the case as regards
direct primary nominations. l know
that many honest and sincere men
are on principle opposed to Governor
Hughes on this point, and | know also
that the proposed reform will very
possibly accomplish less than its ex-
IRENE advocates expect; while l am
well aware, as Of course all thinking
men must be, that the worth Of any
such measure in the last resort de-
ponds upon the character Of the vot-
ers, and that no patent device will
ever secure good government unless
the people themselves devote suffi-
cient energy, time, and judgment to
make the device work. Finally, l
freely admit that here and there,
where the principle Of direct nomfna-
tons has been applied in too crude
shape or wrOngheadedly, it has, while
abolishing certain evils, produced or
accumulated others--in certain cases,
for instance, putting a premium upon
the lavish expenditure Of money.
But while l freely admit all this, l
nevertheless feel, in the first place,
that on the fundamental issue Of d.
rect primary nominations the Cover
nor is right, and, in the second place,
that, as the measure finally came up
for action in the state legislature, 1t
was well-nigh free from all objections
save those of the men who object to
1t because they are fundamentally OPP
posed TO any change whatever in the
desired direction. The bill provided
only for direct popular action in the
primaries in relatively small geo
graphical and political communities,
thereby making the experiment first
where there was least liability to Sc
rious objection, and avoiding or defer
ring the task Of dealing with those big
communities where the difficulties and
dangers to be overcome would be
greatest Moreover, while guarantee
ing full liberty of individual action. it
also provided for the easy mainte-
Nance of party organization, and
thereby avoided some very real dan
gers-among them that of encourag-
ing the use of masses of the minority
party in any given district to dictate
the actions of the majority party. In
other words, the proposed bill, while
It marked a very real step in advance,
was tentatively and cautiously fran
