Territorial Abandonment.

Since 1884 Somaliland, vaguely defined section of East Africa south of the Gulf of Alden. has been under British protectorate. Now the British flag has been hauled down. the troops have been withdrawn. and the whole region is abandoned to the Mullah and his wild followers. There were protests in Parliament against the betrayal of the friendly tribes, and it was urged that British prestige everywhere would suffer from the evacuation. The govern ment replied that the occupation of Somaliland was a failure, financial and otherwise, that the region was not worth holding, and that the voluntary abandonment of British territory had good precedent. Although Great Britain, probably more than any other nation, is looked upon as land-hungry, eager to ex- tend the bounds of empire and un- willing to lower it's flag where once it is raised, it is nevertheless true that no other country has ever vol untarily given up so much land
 Thus the Philippines and Cuba were restored to Spain after Eng land had held them for a time. Part of the Dutch East Indies were held by England from 1911 to 1918, and restored without any compensa- ton. The Ionian Islands, which had been held since 1909, were presented to Greece in 1863. Part of New Guinea was likewise peacefully re- linquished to Germany. A third of Guiana was restored to Holland. Several times Gibralter was offered to Spain, once in exchange for Porto Rico and once for promise of neuS trality. The British rights in Samoa and Abyssinia were voluntarily given up.
 In some of these instances there was quid pro quo, but in others the territory was abandoned because its possessions did not pay and was not necessary to the welfare and power of the empire. Even land hungry nation finds it wise to regu- late it's diet.---The Youths Com panion.

A Difference.

When Roosevelt was President, administration measures submitted to Congress were so advanced in their provisions for square deal regu- lations that the sole concern of the reactionaries was to have them amended backward, and some of them were more or less modified in the backward direction in spite of the efforts of the progressives and the support given them by the Presi- dent.
 Thus far under the present admin istration, when measures affecting the special interests and having the indorsement of the President and his cabinet have been submitted to Congress they have been so satisfac- tory to the reactionaries that almost their sole concern has been to pre- vent them from being amended for ward. but all of them have been so amended by the progressives.
 The differences of attitude, pro- cedure and results shown in this comparison make it obvious that the progressive strength in Congress is growing nightly, even though the chief inspiration and promoter of the progressive cause Is now pri- vate citizen. Kansas City Star.

Peas Every Third Year.

The pea should be the most abund- ant plant upon every farm in the South. The intelligent and eco nomical farmer will so manage his land that it will produce at least one crop of peas every three years. Whether these peas are turned un- der or are saved for feed, they can not fail to pay. No man has done hls full duty to his farm until he has seen to it that peas are growing upon every foot that it is possible for them to grow upon. Plant peas early iii the morning, at noon, in the evening.

FAILED TO WITHSTAND
 WINDS.

A few days ago the newspapers of the world were full of enthusiastic praise for the great Zeppelin airship that made the first of its regular" passenger carrying trips without mishap. All conceded that it was a great event, and plans were talked of to establish regular airship line from New York to Boston.
 But skeptical persons noticed in the story that conditions were per feet, not a breeze stirring" and decided to await the results of a breeze before engaging berths for a trip.
 The second trip found conditions not perfect, and the big airship, after battle with the winds for a few hours, dropped into a forest, the tree tops tearing into it's bottom and holding it fast. This saved the lives of the passengers and crew, but the Deutschland was wreck.
 It seems pretty clear to the novice that these big gas-infated airships can never be handled successfully iii stormy weather. Their bulk is too great to resist the force of the winds. This fact would seem to make them wholly impractical for anything like regular carriers.
 But each day the heavier-t -than-air flying machines are being perfected, and men are learning how to face the atmospheric conditions much as do the birds on wing. And it should be no great surprise if within few years these may reach a point of efficiency and safety that will make their operation possible and fairly safe under such conditions as are to be expected at any time.
 To expect such a thing is entirely within bounds of reason when other accomplishments of the past few years is considered.

One Legal Thing a Boy Can Do.

The law calls every male perscr under the age of 2l an infant. Such person cannot make a con tract. He cannot get married with. out his parents written consent, He cannot sue in the courts except in the name of a guardian or "nexi friend" !" He cannot make a deed tc real estate without the intervention of the probate court. He cannoi serve on a jury or vote or hold office In none of these has he arrived ai the age of discretion.
 But there is one thing an infant can do. He can serve term in the penitentiary. In the Missouri State prison there are 435 of these infants of the law. boys under the age of 2 Something of this story of the state's shameful barbarity has been told.
 Our society, properly enough, denies discretion to youths in all the wholesome business affairs of life, but boy has to be discreet enough to keep out of the policeman's or the constable's arms. If he is not and has passed the foolish age of 16. the legal order sticks him in prison along, with older, confirmed crimi- nals-in most cases confirmed" through just such other social cruel ties practiced upon them in their youth. Ignorance of the law ex cuses no man"-or boy. The child may have been brought up in igno- rance. He may have had no guid- ance in his real infancy--no show for his white alley. But justice is hlind"---and behind the snug phrases of the law minimizing legis lators. prosecutors and jurors per petrate their legal crimes against childhood.
 1t IS not right: 1t is not fair, either to the boy or to the state. By even the worshipful standard of money, it is better to save for good citizenship the neglected or wayward youth than to damn him to life of war with society. In the beginning Of that war the state strikes the first foul blow. For it is significant that many of these prison sentences of minors are for trivial offenses ; sometimes for derelictiona such as respectable, middla-aged men love to
