COUSIN 'TILDY
 ANT A-BEIN'
 KIDNAPPED HERE
Gosh, No! Sez She When the Constable Round
 Her Up

Tildy Thompson, the flower of Fair field, Vt, and two long, lean, 1anky male persons, names unknown, cousins of Tildy, wish the Farmer to proclaim to the world that she is not a white slave.
 Alderman Eugene Meyer saw Tildy's two cousins clinging tenaciouSly to her arms as they escorted her through the streets of the Eleventh district. The strange appearance of the trio aroused the Alderman's suspicious.
 Detectives Hackett and Hall went to investigate.
 They remembered from the descrip- tion that the girl wore a sweater jacket There was one lone occupant in the trolley station and she wore a sweater coat. She appeared to be be- yond the Kidnapping age.
 They kept her under surveillance until the two men appeared. Then they captured all three and marched them to police headquarters. Kid napped?' blurted Tildy. Gosh, no. Them's my cousins. We thought we'd clear outer Fairfield and live with the city folks.'' Tildy was spokesman for the cousins, who grinned, rather en1- barrassed-like
 Superintendent Birmingham wished them all the luck in the world and to help along the good work let Hac- kett and Hall help them find a suit able place to live. The young men had already secured quarters at POI Fairfield avenue and were returning to show cousin Tildy the layout when the GODS intervened.
 Giggling and now more 'confiding than before, she confessed she was 2 years old, married and even contem- plating a divorce when she set out from Vermont to see the world.

Our Bedding correspondent was in error in stating that Paul Trop of Easton had sold his place to Miss Ida M Tarbell. The only deal as yet in that vicinity is the purchase of the Rowland property by Mr. Trop. It was this deal which gave rise to the erroneous report referred to above.
 A current rumor in Easton that MT. F.. Williams has sold his place to New York parties and would immediately build a house on the Silliman place, owned by him, is unfounded, though it is true that New York parties have made some oVertureS to him.

The general is particularly bitter

the failure of the enforcement of the
law which requires that every ofticee
who becomes a prisoner Of war, unin-
Jured, should be required to furnish

He urges the enactment OF stringenes

Having stolen all the property OF the
Catholic Church in France that he could
lay hands on, BRAND, it Is said. would
like to restore religious peace in the
country, practically his only condition
being the Church's recognition of the
| separation as un fat accompli."s The
condition Is. of course, impossible. 1t
means, as we understand it, that the
Church is to recognize that the prop
erty of which it has been despoiled by
the state was lawfully stolen; that the
affairs of the Church shall BIO managed
by the State; that there shall be at
trbution of property not yet taken
over" which means, we suppose, that
the Church shall make over to the
state what the State has not yet stolen,
or without attribution.
The State will not deal with the Pope
directly, and the Pope will not deal
with the State in any other way. The
State would make terms with the
French Bishops, none of whom can be
appointed without the consent of the
State, and will not make terms with
the Pope. The Vatican insists upon d.
rect negotiations with Rome, and the
state will not consent TO this. There
seems to be no way to break the dead
lock- 1t is hoped that the Pope will
stand fast. Surely he and his Church
have nothing to gain by any compro-
mise with BRAND. We should say that
no contract France would make with
the Church now would hold. One Con-
cordat was quite enough to establish
the bad faith of France for all time.

TRYING TO D1sowN THE CHILD.

IRAiAG TO D1sOWN THE CHILD.
In his speech at Jackson, Michigan,
the Other day, Mr. Taft said that the
great problem that confronts the
American people is the problem of
Socialism which must soon be met lie
declared that the Republican party
had shown itself capable of dealing
with the great question effectively and
wisely, and that the American people
must determine whether or not it
should trust this party with the So
luton of the Socialistic question, than
which we have had no greater in the,
history of the country
This view is probably held on the
homeopathic principle sirnilis simili-
bus curantur. or. in the vernacular
of Texas, the fox is the finder, the
perfume lies behind her. The Repub-
lican party the enemy of Socialism,
indeed! when but for that party we
should not have been threatened with
this problem. 1t has enc ouraged every
abuse of government for the benefit
of favored interests. 1t has made gov
eminent the side partner of every
form of individual and sectional
plumber. 1t has brought government
down to the business level" and, pro-
noting by it's legislation and admins
tration the welfare of the few chosen
benefciaries of its bounty, 1T has en-
ciouraged in the toiling masses the belief
that by the further extension of the
| powers of government the submerged
| millions would be in like condition
with the favored thousands. Yet it
is this party, the natural father of
trust in stemming the tide of Social
ism,
All the evils which Mr.. Taft breads
are the spawn of his own party, and
/ the Socialists reason we'll when they
say to themselves that the Republic
/ can party. having made things very
| easy for its own special beneiciaries,
| by using the powers of government
for their elevation and enrichment we
shall do for the whole body-politic
what they nave done for themselves
and their favorites. We, also. shall
add and divide among the people what
the Republicans have added and di-
yided among themselves. II was a
beautiful theory as long as it worked
only in their way; and surely they
cannot hold us to account now for
extending to all men the blessings
tof the policies which have taken for
tine special interests what should be-
long to all.
