Then, when l entered the wreckage

noticed the position of the monkey.
He lay right underneath the transom.
The transom was sufficiently well
preserved to show that it was easy to-

ventilation in this room. the monkey
must have seen YOU open it hundreds
of times. Monkeys are not like hors-

LONDON DISPLEAsED.

London has become offended at
the people Of the United States. and
with good cause. The newspapers of
that city have been pointing out that
the people of this country who spend
their money abroad 50 recklessly are
discriminating against lean oil Jun.
This is the way the newspaper
plant reads:
Mine times as much o is left
on the continent every season by
Americans as is left in London and
England. AS "A nation of shopkeep-
ers. are We satisfied with this ratio?
London and England have greater
advantages. greater attractions, and
infinitely better bargains. but the
Partisan sets out specially 70 cater
n advertise. while on this side OF
the channel there is a general atti-
tude of Indifference. We let the
Americans come and go. We treat
him with the best, as he deserves. but
we make no effort. He must find it
all out for himself. AS a rule
II London really let's the American
come and go. the American should
show more consideration for London.
He should thank fortune that he is
not grabbed and turned on his head
by London. 1t plainly shows that
London is willing to be reasonable.
All that the greatest city in the world
with apologies to New York-really
wants is American money. So long
as Americans spend their money,
London is willing to permit them to
come and go, and even treats them
with the best.
1t is not to he wondered at that
London looks with greedy eye at the
American visitors. According to a
recent calculation. American visitors
to Europe spend in one season about
$50. 900. 900. OF this. London, it is es-
timated, gets about $500, 900. This
Is a pretty little sum. but London has
reason for being dissatisfied with her
share Of the loot. Paris. her sister in
crime. gets twice as much. The mu-
nicipal authorities Of Paris estimate
that American visitors alone in the
summer season between June 1 and
July 81 spend not less than $15,0OO,-
900. Between the dates mentioned,
Paris has between 1000 and 10000
American guests at her first-class no.
tells. and about 10000 at her other
hotels and pensions.
Some arrangement should be made
between London and Paris for a bet
ter distribution of the plumber. An
equal number of Americans should be
forced to go to each city every

made. and Germany might act as ar

UNDERMINING THE QU.AKERs.

From a once powerful orsaniza-
ton the Society of Friends. or Quak-
ers. has grown smaller and smaller.
until at present the number of per-
sons living in that creed is no larger
than the constituency of a represent
tative of the house. The reason for
this decline vas in the strict rules
laid dow by the Quakers. Anybody
who married outside the meeting was
dropped from the rolls. So were
those who went to war, II there
was also a strong prejudice against
those who toe part in public af-
fairs. of all the sects in America.
the Quarkers have been most unyield-
ing to modern tendencies toward
gayety. The Quaker. for years. has
been standing virtually alone. with
his yes turned away from the fri
volity of the world. his back to thea
tiers. dancing. drinking, and card
playing.
That even the Quakers have been
yieldins a little. however. is evil
denred ny the fact that they eco
sidered their reputation of members
who Went to wal in the period of the
SOIlllltl 'htlMttli lllN " IL anu III
south. Moreover. many Quakers are
now takins a very aggressive part in
politics. Representative A. Mitchell
Palmer. a faithful Quaker. was re-
Gently decided upon as national com
mitteeman of tn" democratic party
in PENNSYLVANIA, after a peculiarly
bitter fight. Senator Dixon. who is
managing the worry aggressive CAM
paign of Colonel Roosevelt. is also n
Quaker. Some of the most militant
men in the senate and the house are
likewise Quakers. Uncle Joe Cannon
is one of them.
1t is not likely that the Quakers
soon will change from men of peace
to men of war. but thorn is no doubt
that modern tendencies are having
their effect on this religious society
as on all Others. In Philadelphia.
where the Quakers arc more runner
u than elsewhere. a special con1-
mittee. which has been considering
a revision of the queries put to MEM
hers of the meeting. has decided to
recommend the elimination of GER
tain tin1e-honored questions. one of
these queries is; Do you avoid at
tendance at places of harmful diver
SION" Another is: DO YOU avoid
the unnecessary freuuentins of tav-
erns:" The revision also proposes
to replace the old queries with these
more modern ones: "1po YOU fulfill
the obligations Of citizenship Dc
you recognize your responsibility for
just dealing as members of corpora =
tons" From the changes proposed
1t would seem That the Quakers are
getting into step with modern rondi-
tions. Certainly they are yielding

Of the society.

Biggest Recall in History

Do YOU know the bred Scott deci-
sion: II not, YOU amt form any
opinion on tho newest issue in Amer
lean politics.
Chief Justice fancy. on March 6,
1851, delivered tho opinion Of the Uni
ted States supreme court in the IA
NOUS bred Scott case. He stated that
Negroes We're not intended to be in
cludcd under the word citizen in the
constitution. and therefore. can claim,
none of the rights and privileges
which that instrument provides and
secures to the citizens of the United
States. Within eight wears his ma
lority opinion of this historic court
was "rcCallcd' by u great war, in
v~olvins the sacrifice of hundreds of
thousands of lives. Later came the
enactment of a constitutional amend
ment in the manner provided by the
fathers when that great constitution
was drawn.
What meant that famous clause
wherein is the statement that al,
men are created cqual?" According
to Chief Justice Taney. the genera
words above quoted would seem 10
embrace the whole human family
and If they were used in a similar
instrument al this day would he s.
understood But ii is too clear for
dispute that the enslaved African
race were not intended to he included
and formed no part of the people
who framed and adopted this declara-
ton"
Was this famous decision of the su-
preme court Of the United States a
political argument of its chief JUS
tlce, when simply n ildicial decision
would have served" This was the
great political question of that dav.
even before it was announced. Alex
ander Stephens wrote to his brother.
The decision will be a marked epoch
in u history"
To state thai a slave or a descend
ant of a slave was not entitled 10 all
the rights. privileges. and immuni.
ties guaranteed to a citizen under the
constitution. and that the Missouri
compromise was not warranted h.
the constitution and therefore void,
was indeod a serious matter. The
opinion received the approval of the
southern members of the bench and
their democratic colleagues from the
north and passed into history.
Along with it went the minority
opinion written by Mr.. Justice Curtis,
which was taken as the h%eeinning of
the constitutional argument of the re-
