Human nature is about the same, in similar environment and civiliza- tion, despite the theory, strongly held in some quarters, that men can be divided into the "best citizens and ''the mob." Recently MT. Asqulth rose in the House of Commons to reciee the means by which the veto of the Lords is to be determined and the aristocratic body shorn substan- tfaIly of its legislative power. The Conservatives in the House, who, gen. era1ly speaking, were the richest and the most aristoratic element, greeted the prime minister with cat calls and hissing-, 7a-4r

MIXED TERMINOI,OGY.

Thinking is done in words, although the words may not be uttered. It is 'importaAtsk taat thoses t,engag ged in teaching should have a clear termi- nology, that is they should know what they mean by the words they use, and always use the words that way. Certain able contemporaries, in Hartford ,and, New HAfep*A. have a violent d}sfika for indsffVs land ref erendum, because, as they say, it would destroy representative gov ernment" This attitude has greatly pained the intelligent and progressive clienteles iefrr these Mhnbers ! of the press. It even came to be thought that the progressiveness of the edi- tors might be composed. like the farmers pig, of a streak of lean and a streak of fat. But the truth is. re . vealed. JiThe difficulty is in the ter minology The fault of these news papers is that they do not recognize representative government in Con- necticut and the General Assembly as the same thing.
 Eaa proof of this is that they are -sfistnx So sen- the people of Con- necticut, the sovereign people, the right to vote direct to the measure. because they. say the exercise of that right wouldd destroy Representative government" "--But, on@ tife~contrary, they will finerafiy lambast the Gen. eral Assembly, imputing to it, and quite tfYhfpllya 4llI manner of de-

EQUALITY IN SECRECY.

 In the one case the offender was apprehended, and confined. In the other case a prosecutor must delve into a maze of facts for persons. Guilt is personal A finding of crim- inal negligence that reaches no man is verbiage.
 There is one matter in which these diverse proceedings are alike. They were both in star chamber. The public was 7excluded from both. The coroner administers his shigh and his low justice in secret Let us be thankful that in something there is equality before the law.

ENGLISH CLERIC SINGS
 PRAISES OF BLOODSHED.

Canon Tupper-Carey, a famous En-
 glish cleric, delivered a remarkable
 address at a service for business men
 at York, when he spoke of the dangers
 of international peace.
 ''It was," he said, lone of the com
 monplaces of history that the charac-
 ter of a nation has never suffered in
 time of war, but it did deteriorate and
 degenerate in time f peace. Peace hath greater danger than war, and as
 Christians they had to ask themselves in discussing the question of universal
 peace, whether this or any other na- when Dreadnaughts were scrapped and regiments disbanded. If all that
 were accomplished, how would they
 get those qualities which they so ad-
 mired in their soldiers and sailors? :?
 Was there any substitute for war
 which would call forth the enthusiasm love of adventure, valor, heroism and
 self-sacrifice? Christ, who was the
 Prince of Peace. never thought of the
 peace which. meant moral degenera- tion and death to a nation. Is it creditable that a man with the educational advantages afforded by available historical and sociological data, would exhibit his ignorance so flagrantly?
 The magnificent civilizations of an-
 cient time, destroyed directly by war; the death of Grecian philosophy, cul- ture and glory, following directly upon the war between Athens and Sparta j; the burning of the Alexandrian Libra ry with it's incidentally valuable treasures of ancient lore; and on down through the pages of history; a reek- in red-pathed shambles-What a brilliant service war has rendered mankindi
 War, and it's horrors, miseries, and expense, has been the chief factor in
 retarding the development of the race, | and in perpetuating class distinction. It has afforded opportunity for those born to the purple to crush and ex- ploit their fellows. and it produces ] apoloSists of the Tupper-C Carey stripe to sanction this as developing hu | manity'
 War has wasted oceans of blood l devastated continents, crushed initia- | tive. broken the hearts of the innocent | and caused more poverty, woe and | anguish than all the other world-evils | combined.

ty; and the world is thousand of years behind its evolutionary possibilities because of it's savaging influence
 The character of a nation has never suffered except in time of peace''
 Can you conceive of a microcepha- hc-brained ignoramus, earnestly ex- pounding such a barbarism?
 What think you of the ignorant toadying, fawning hypocrite, who openly advocates international mur- der to develop self-sacrificev'
 A writ of lunatico de inpuirendo should be immediately issued, and thorough investigation made as to his fitness to be at large A marsoph- obiac of this character is liable to run amuck almost any time. Perhaps.
 It is more likely that he is an ar rant coward, as we'll as a knave, trucking to his master; "Crooking the pregnant hinges of the knee, that thrift may follow fawning'.
 If this ''pop-gun"he calls himself canon) was familiar with sociology and philosophy, if he were even re- motely acquainted with our great philosopher William James. he would realize that there are innumerable acts of social and humanitarian ser vice which will develop ''valor, hero- ism, and self-sacrif1ce' to an infinite ly greater degree than by becoming a uniformed murderer.
 Service with the fishing fleets in cruel winter months, work in the mines, powder factories, sky scrapers; as firemen, risking their lives and wrenching the hands of death from his victim; as policemen, unflinching- ly casting themselves at the head of Che maddened team; as doctors. and nurses, taking their lives in their hands in fearsome, plague-infested districts; and in innum erable splen7 did acts of unheralded heroes, who give themselves in loving service. that humanity may benefit.
 Believe me, there are plenty of op- portunities for the exhibition of all the qualities we so admire in a sol dier. War is unnecessary, unbusiness like, foolish and futile. Intelligent minds universally favor arbitraral settlements.
 War could be stopped instantly if the splendid suggestion of George Kirkpatrick in "War What For were followed out. Take every king, pres ident, senator, law-maker, cleric, or dema agogue, who advpcates and de- clares war, put a uniform on him, a gun in his hand, and send him out on the firing line with the infantry. Let him have his brains spattered by the explosive bullet, or be slightly wound ed perhaps, and drop screaming to the ground, caught like a rat in a trap, until the iron-shod hoofs of the cavalry horse crushed in his face or chest, and his last cry was strangled in moan.
 Christ, who never thought of the peace which meant moral degenera- ton and death-to a nation'' would approve this sacrifice.
 But the Reverend Canon and his ilk, are too crafty, hypocritical and cunning to go to the firing line them selves. Oh no, war is such splen- did thing for developing ethical cog milton, that they'll give the glory to those who can use it; the wage-slave, the hired murderer, the human beast, who, ignorantly or otherwise, derives enjoyment from "the game. Can non Tupper-Carey will watch it from his rat-hole, his beady eyes glistening in the ecstacy of murder. For shame!

RETURNING TO EAST

return is obtained with less effort.
 A case in point, which is typical of hundreds that have come under the notice of Major Riddle, Is that of a man named Douglas, who gave up his farm in Chenango county nearly thir. ty years ago to to settle in western Nebraska Two months ago he sold his farm there, and for half what he received bought a farm of equal size in New York. He maintains he will get better income because of his proximity to markets
 Advance agents for fifty Swedish families, all of whom settled near one another in Nebraska many years ago. will soon be at work on as many un- used or unoccupied farms These people have sold their Nebras ka lands for $50 an acre and have bought farms in New York at prices ranging from s5 to S20 an acre
 AS matter Of fact. there are no abandoned farms in New York That word abandoned" has done much to injure agricultural interests in this state in the miHtl of the outside world. The word was overworked five or six years ago, when the legis lature was being scared into voting money for the establishment of a farm bureau. There are, however many unoccupied farms, and a much fewer number of absolutely unused farms
 In the whole state there are 226.. 620 farms, averaging slightly more than 100 acres each. Five thousand of these are now unoccupied. and may be bought for a song. But there are nearly 75000 other farms also in the market, now held by men past their prime, not able to work them to advantage. It is one of the misfor. tunes of farm life that good hands are hard to get.
 Statisticians of the department of agriculture have learned that half of New York state is still in wood and swamp and waste. but all of 1t is usable.

VxT xTASHINGTON.-Illinois still holds w the national championship for long distance statesmanship in con gross. The complete congressional record for the last session just issued establishes the states claim to this distinction beyond any doubt.
 No other delegation even approach es the mark set by Illinois in the mum Der of congressman absent at all times, the number of roll calls missed by each and the total number of days each was away during the session.
 While none of the Illinois represen. tatives achieved the distinction of rep resenting his district without once ap- bearing at the capital, there were sev- eral who outdid all former feats and approached remarkably close to this goal. Unfortunately they were handi- capped by the provision of the law for the payment of mileage.
