LoNDoN's HISTORIC TOWER.
And the Egg From Which Was Hatch
ed the Great Charter.

Richard Davey in The Tower of
London" connects the historic edifce
with the wrestling of the great charter
from King John.
King John, it would seem, though le-
gally married to IsNJella of Angou-
leme, fell desperately in love in 1914
with Matilda" or Maud" ''the Fair"
the beautiful daughter of Robert, Lord
Fitzwalter. This lady, remaining deaf
abducted from her fathers seat at
Dunmow by the kings order and shut
up in the round turret of the White
tower. On this Fitzwalter made a
vain attempt to rouse the people to re-
volt, but was forced to fly to France
with his wife and remaining children.
Maud once safe in the tower, King
John renewed his suit, but only sue
ceeded in driving her to utter silence,
which so Infatuated him that he sent
her poisoned egg for her breakfast,
and she died early in 1915. A year
later her remains were translated to
the family vault at Dunmow.
When the news of this crafty MUIR
der came to the ears of Fitzwalter he
forthwith returned to England and
discovered to his joy that the barons
were on the point of declaring war
against John. He at once placed him
self at their head. hoping, it is said, to
combine his personal revenge with his
duty rs an English peer and is indeed
supposed to have forced the king to
sign the great charter for the express
purpose of humiiating his daughters
murderer. Thus from an egg was
hatchod the great charter. Whether
the story he true or false, it is a GER
tilted historical fact that the barons
held the tower in pledge till John con
sented to accept the charter and af-
fixed his reluctant signature to the
deed.
About year later, when the war
with the barons was at its height and
John once more a power the tower
again fell into his hands, and, though
the barons laid siege to it, they were
repulsed by the kings men. To COM
plete its strange vicissitudes during
this strenuous reign the tower became
on Nov. 1, 1915, the temporary court
of King Louis of France, whom the
rebellious barons had summoned to
assist in the adjustment of their griev'
ances. Appearing before the gates
with large body Of men, he so COM
pletely awed the officials that they
| handed over the KEYS without striking
blow for their rightful monarch.

= The Open Fire.

The open fire is a primitive, elemen-
tai thing. 1t cheers with more than
mere heat; it is bit of the red heart
of nature laid bare; 1t is a dragon OF
the prince docile and friendly there
in the corner. What pictures, what
activity, how social, how it keeps up
the talk! You are not permitted to
forget it for a moment. How 1t re-
spends when you nudge it! How 1t re-
joices when you feed it! Why. an
open fire in your room is a whole III
erature. 1t supplements your library
as nothing else in the room does OF
can.-John Burroughs in Country Life
in America.

Must BE Americans Gully.

One may easily understand and al
preciate the deep devotion which
American citizens of foreign birth
NAV retain for their native land. it
would be strange and even reprehen-
sible if that affection were lost. The
desire to retain and teach their chill
dren the language and many OF the
customs of the old lands IS also nat
ural. Dut it is a different matter
when all this is allowed to affect the
political ideas and action of such
citizens. Now and again we read OF
prominent men of this or that ma
tionality urging their comrades to
combine as a political unit, not as
Americans but in their old world
nationality and speech.
Such advice and such action is al
together at variance with our Ameri'
can spirit and ideals. The first and
only allegiance of American citizens
whether native of foreign born, is to
the government Of this country. Any

Why They Go to War.

We have been asked why has Italy
and Turkey gone to war. Really we
dc not know unless it be as the Au-
!, sta Chronicle says Italy has deter
mined to get another gold brick in
the form of that sand-blown, water
less, unshaded and thoroughly quar-
relsome little country, Tripoli. Just
why Italy desires Tripoli as colony
is difficult to explain. In fact it is
rot easy to figure out why anybody
should want Tripoli for any purpose,
or why even the mongrel population
of one million Moors, Arabs ai-i Ber-
bers continue to live there.
Tripoli consists of four hundred
thousand square miles, most of It
sand. 1t is bounded On the east by
the Iibyan Desert and on the south
by the Sahara Desert and every time
the wind blows from either Of those
directions it brings more sand to
Triroli. Tripoli has no rvers. A
Tripoli. Tripoli has no rivers. A
few straggaling puddles in the rainy
season. There are also some springs
that last the year round, and there
are fertile spots scattered in the sand.
Tripoli is extremely hot in tAe sum-
mer time, and cold rains make the
interior unpleasant most of the win
ter.
Sheep and cattle raising occupy
the attention of tha- small proper
ton of the population which is un-
able to gain admission to the bri-
gans' union. Chasing sheep herders
over the sand hills furnishes diver
sion for the brigands and exercise for
the sheepherders. A century ago
Diracy was one of the favorite out
door sports in Tripon, but a small
fleet of American war vessels per-
manently discourage that profitable
amusement in 1905.
Tripoli norminally is under the
control of the Turkish government,
which means that a governor or bey
hose ancestors were appointed by
the sultan, extorts all the money
possible from the sheep herders and
brigands and, if times are good and
t.e feels like it, sends small rebate
to the sultan. None Of The Eura-
mean countries have shown any signs
nc Incoming preen-eyed ever these
Itaiina colonies. From sternly
material standpoint they have not
been successes. But Italy has the
colonizing bee, and the chance tc
acquire four hundred thousand
square miles more Of sand. trouble
and expense is too good to be over
| locked. The Italians just can't re-
sist Tri7oli.

Taft and the Middle West.

The Chicago Tribune has adopted
novel method OF testing public
sentiment, using President Taft's
tour of the West as the basis of &he
experiment. The Tribune has put
It's best staff correspondent on che
trail of the President. Instead of
going along with hte Presidents
Iarty and gaining his impressions of
rublic sentiment from the cheering
and shouting, the seething crowds,
the brass bands and the banners,
this correspondent travels a few
days behind. He drops into she
towns that the President has visit
ed and talks to all sorts and condi-
!icns of persons about the President
and his sDeeches.
Thus this staff correspondent, in
stead of feeling the public pulse
while the fever is at it's height, makes
his diagonis after the patients con-
d:tion has returned to normal. He
gets the sane, considered after
thought of the people instead OF the
somewhat hysterical effervesceuce
that the presence of the Nations
Chief Executive usually brings to the
surface in any community. The re-
suit of this correspondents observa-
tions has brought to light two condi-
tions, the existence of which has
long teen suspected by wise politi-
cal observers.
One of these conditions is hota-
BILE lukewarmness toward the Presi-
dent in the Middle West. The Deo-
pie have no particular animosity to-
yard him, but they suspect that he
is not the man for the job. This
sentiment has been deepened rather
than lessened by the speeches Of the
President. The Middle West believes
that Mr.. Taft should not be ren1mi-
mated and that if he is renominated
he will not be reelected. The Sec
ond noteworthy condition found by.
the Tribune's correspondent is that
the Middle West believes in Governor
Woodrow Wilson and hopes foG his
nomination by the Democratic party.
according to the progressives,
writes this correspondent from
Hutchinson, Kan, "the Republicans
are in grave danger Of losing Kan
sas. They say Woodrow Wilson cas-
lily could carry the State against
Taft" Again, this correspondent
writes, "The Democrats entertain
growing hopes of carrying Kansas.
Wilson is generally favored as the
candidate" Similar expressions run
all through this trained Observers
dispatches describing the effect Of
Mr.. Taft's visit on the public mind
after the people have had time 10 re-
fleet on what the President has said.
1t should be remembered that the
Tribune is one of the most indepen-
dent newspapers politically in the
world and its greatest pride is in
giving political news that is "abso-
lutely unbiased.
