strikes him about the novelists now
most in vogue among critical readers,
is by no means their imbecility. Far
indeed from that. 1t is the very
gloomy view they take of life. Mr..
Hardy has now become a survivor of
former generation of novelists. among
whom his sense of the excess OF the
tragic over the comic elements in hui
man life and destiny was as noteworthy
as his other gifts The happy ending
was by no means so much a necessary
element to him as to the easier-going
of his fellow-craftsmen. We even find
him in one of his earlier novels signal
izing the increasing difficulty of eveI-
ling in the general situation" He is by
no means among the optimists. Bur his
philosophy of life is a cheerful and
jocund incubation when it is confront
ed with that of those among the pres
ent purveyors of British fiction who
are most distinguished for intellectual
insight and technical skill. Mr.. Hardy
is a Pangloss compared with these.

FROM OTHER PENS
10 ROYAL VETO

There was much cheering by lem
bers of the House of Commons when
the formal assent of King George,
given through a commission. duly ap-
pointed, made a law of the bill which
virtually ended the power of the
House of Lords and constituted the
Commons the only real authority in
the British government It was the
natural outburst of joy which greets
a fact accomplished after long and bit
ter strife, the last touch completing a
great work.
But there has been no fear that the
king would take any other course
There was no doubt that he would do
exactly what he has done. He had no
choice. His feelings had nothing to
do with the case. Neither was his
personal judgment taken into account
at all. His act in signing the bill
which virtually destroyed one branch
of the imperial parliament was the
work of a fsurehead.
The British sovereign has never
been legally deprived of his veto. He
has the constitutional right to refuse
to approve a measure passed by Par
lament. Unlike the House of Lords,
he has escaped the formal wiping out
of an ancient prerogative- But that
is because he has long known better
than to use it. For many generations
the King has understood that his veto
power existed in name only. It was
a theory, not a fact.-Cleveland

Men who Would Be Kings.

William Webster, the American citi-
zen On behalf of whose heirs the Uni
ted States mas been making claims upon
the government of New Zealand, had a
very unrepublican ambition to estab-
lish a kingdom of his own. Some time
before the Briti&l annexation in 1910
he acquired of the Maoris all the coun-
try around the site of the present city
of Auckland and styled himself King
of WaiOui." When the English came
and "dethroned'' him. he claimed G50O.-
O0o by way of compensation. and it is
this claim which has recently been re-
vived.
Shortly before webster's time another

Thierry, attempted to found a dynasty.

suscitation of persons who had been
submerged for half an hour or even
longer. Such cases occur particularly
in women and children, in whom the
fright at finding themselves in dan

sidera Bile period. Strong men who have

taken with a cramp they too may suf-
fer from shock or fright with the re-
sultant collapse that is apparently ma
lures method of giving the longest
possible opportunity for life under
these circumstances. In such cases,
efforts to revive the drowned person
should not be abandoned until all
chance OF resuscitation is gone. says
The Journal of the American Medical
association in a recent editorial on this
subject
Patients have been reported as not
breathing for fifteen minutes to half
an hour and yet they have been re-
suscitated.
Ordinarily the methods Of resuscita-
ton are and ought properly to be eX-
ercised at the scene of the accident
Often the person is pronounced dead
even before a physician has seen him.
Only rarely are such cases transport
ed to hospitals to be treated. The or
binary methods of artificial respira
ton might well be carried on in an
and then in the hospital it
self. Recourse might be had to any
procedures, even surgical, that seem to
give the slightest hope. Certainly in
the present state of our knowledge it
would seem that some direct irritation
of the heart muscle should be tried
before the patient is pronounced dead. I
The saving of even few of these |
young lives would be a very precious
advance for modern medicine.

Sherbrooke, until recently a small res
taurant keeper in Hamilton, is about
to start out on a tour of the world.
Had the market gone against him, he

speculation, he had decided that life
was not worth while unless he could
be in easy circumstances, and he
staked his all on the turn.
Taking his cue from newspaper gos-
sip, Sherbrooke sold out his business
two months ago and with the proceeds
bought on margin 1900 shares of To-

began to climb about as soon as he
bought. and when the company in

STATE FAIR WEEK.


| Education is the great province OF
an agricultural exposition. a state fair
Every exhibitor sends to it the best
he has, whether it be poultry or live
stock; grains or vegetables; dairy
products or fruit; works Of art and
household appurtenances or all varieties
of machinery and agencies that are
used in the development Of successful
farming. No man is so we'll informed
on any one subject that he cannot ac-
quire additional and valuable informa-
ton about it. This is just as true of
the college professor as it is of the
farmer or the city business man. There
fore, as tn best results of almost every
line Of human endeavor are exhibited
at a state fair worth while, it becomes
a great educational institution. where
every farmer and business man can
get few more pointers on how to at
tain the best there is in his line Of
activity.
Such a remarkable institution will be
the state fair to be held in Topeka.
September Il to Is. Secretary Cook, Of
the fair association, who is never given
to romancing, who always delivers the
goods that he advertises. is authority
for the statement that the Topeka State
fair this year, will be on a scale with
as wide ramifca lions as the Nebraska
state fair. an old and we'll esta blished
agricultural sh NV that has been develop
ed and supported by the state of Ne

case, the demands of the most fastidious
as to what state fair ought to be,
should be readily satisfied with the To-
peka fair Certainly no expense or

And a wise expenditure of money and
tireless energy is sure to accomplish
results in the development of a fair,
the same as they do in any other pur-
suit.
In addition to its being an educational
institution. it is also well within the
province Of an agricultural exposition
to provide. all kinds of amusement and
for the crowds that at
tend it. All work and no play makes
for dulluess This applies to. a fair
the same as it does to all other activi-
ties Few people care about going to
a fair just for the instruction and in
they can acquire. They also
want to be entertained during the odd
hours And the Topeka fair is going
to be particularly strong in providing
all kinds of entertainment There Will
be the horse races on each afternoon
ana they promise to be of as high a
class as any that are held in this sec
ton of the country. There are to be
enormous fireworks displays each even |
