shape and oyuamentcd with flowers, A similar custom was observed in Rome. where the presentation of the piIeus, or cap. was always a part of the ceremony of manumittlng a slave; hence arose the proverb, "Servos ad pileum vOCare."
 Also on medals the cap Is the symbol of liberty and Is uusually represented as being held In the right hand by the point. When a cap was exposed to the peoples view on the top of a spear as fin the case Of the conspiracy against Caesar, it was intended as a public in vltatIon to them to embrace the liberty that was offered them.
 The Goddess of Liberty on Mount Aventine was represented as holding a cap in her hand as a symbol of free dom. The Jacoblus wore a red cap during the French revolution, and In England a blue cap with white bor- der is used as a symbol of liberty.
 The custom which prevails among university students of wearing a cap Is said to have had Its origin In a wish to signify that the wearers had acQuir- ed full liberty and were no longer sub feet to the rod of their superiors.

EDITORIAL P AGE

In this congress, as in congresses for the past few decades, measures w.u be urged for the peusioning of eN-presideuJs. As in the past, those who have opposed the Pensiouing of soldiers widows and orphans, will be prominent in urging pensions for those who. least in the world need pensions. because the very capabil- ities which enable men to become presidents. place them in a pre- emlnently self supporting position.
 We believe that any person who would accept pension, unless in the service of the public. he has been deprived Of capacities for con tiuuing to procure an income equal to that obtained prior to entering public service, has a yellow streak in him akin to a hobo, who would live off private charity, without reu- deriug an equivalent in labor for the benefits he receives.
 It is not the giving Of pension that is demoraIizing. but the recejv- ing Of public charity, that shows the quality of a man. We believe that it is an insult to offer a healthy, braiuy. normal man, a pension. and we believe that healthy, braiuy, normal man will never accept one. It Is as deEouarattug to undeserved- Iy live off public charity as it is to uudeseryedIy live off private charity.
 There is no more reason for pen sioniug an ey-prcsideut than there is for peustoutuE am eN-couEress- man and so on down the line to am ox-dog catcher, unless they have done some service which lcsseus their earuia capacity In that case they have created a debt which the public owes them, and are en- titled to recompcuse and payment to the uttcrmost fartbinE.
