An Untidy Practice.

Despite the efforts of the Civic
League to have City Beautiful
there are some untidy persons who
will persist in throwing scraps of pa
per about the streets. The practice is
untidy, to say the least and more care
should be exercised by those tearing
paper to so to the baskets at different
points on the streets and to deposit
scraps of paper there, rather than scat
ter the litter about the streets.

SUFFERING CHRISTIANS.
An Appeal to Their More Fortunate

Concord, n. H., Nov. /, 1912.
The Rev. J. P. Mc1omas, d. D.. An
napolis, Md.
Reverend snd Dear Sir:-The mem
bers of the Commission of the House
Of Bishops to promote cooperation
with the authorities of the Orthodox
Eastern Churches in this country,
venture to bring before you the en-
closed appeal of the American Greek
Red Cross Committee.
Greece has never forgotten the
sympathy shown by the United
States in her long struggle for inde-
pendence and the help and backing
given to her by US at different times.
The friendship of the Anglican
Communion is understood, and there
is a warm appreciation Of the atti-
tude towards the Greek Church by
the American Episcopal Church as it
has been shown, for example, in the
ministry Of Bishop Southgate in
Turkey, or in the schools for Greek
girls maintained by Us for many
years in Athens.
In Church and State, the Greeks
feel that we American Episcopslians
are peculiarly their friends, and it is
especially fitting that we should make
an effort to aid the Greek Red Cross
committee in the charitable. work of
caring for the sick and wounded.
The members of the COMMITTEES are
known to US personally or by repu-
tation and all contributions sent to
them or to any of US, will reach
thdse in need at the earliest pos
sible moment.
May We ask you to bring this mat
ter to the attention or your congre-

Birds Flock to Their Death.

An old sportsman of Normandy de-
clares that round the lighthouse of
Barfeud last November there were
picked up in the course of four nights
10000 birds Of all sorts, including
1900 woodcock. The lighthouse aon
the Pointe de Penmarch, in Brittany.
has revolving light of 10000, 900
candle power. Visiting this on No
vember 10 last year, and again on the
18th, an observer saw tens of thous-
ands Of birds whirling round, and it
seemed to him that the light shot out
perfect hail of electric sparks among
the migrants. Next morning he was
present while the dead bodies were
being collected. They are dispatched
every day to Paris by train, and the
catch" he was told. often comprised
1000 to 1000 victims; one morning
alone there had been more than 500

FAIR PLAY

The other day we published an
item to the effect that L. A..
Blakeslee. the Southern Pacific
political manager, was putting up
a job to elect a legislature that
would repeal the antl-gambling
law. the employers liability law
and the primary election law, and
prevent any change in the present
divorce law.
The Information came from a
source we deemed reliable, but this
morning we received a letter from
a prominent man in Reno, in
whom we have the greatest con-
fidenc, saying that Mr.. Blakeslee
was one of the srong supporters of
the anti-gambing law, when it was
before the legislature, and that his
attitude has not changed on the
gambling law. His attitude on
the divorce law was not known to
the writer. bat he was in doubt
as to whether or not Mr.. Blakeslee
favored the repeal of the en-
ployers liability law.
The writer of the letter is not
in sympathy with Mr.. Rlakeslee's
political methods and writes
simply in the spirit of fair play.
From his letter. TT appears that we
were misinformed in regard to Mr..
Rlakeslee's political activities and
did him an injustice. 1t is not our
intention to misrepresent the acts
of anyone or to wrongly charge
them with political or other
Offenses.
If our informant was wrong in
this matter we wronqed Mr.. BIakes-
lee by its publication and tender
him an apology.

officers believing that the people

as well as of selection. His
opponent, George Bartlett, stands
with Taft in respect to judges

He does not believe in the recall
for Judicial Offices. On this basis
of reasoning he should rot believe
in the selection of judges by the

AFFECTED HISTORY OF WORLD
Influence Of Jean jacques Rousseau
May Be Traced TO Trivial
Incident In Boyhood.

In village school in Boissey. Swift
xerland. one day In the first quarter
Of the eighteenth century, Jean
Jacques Rousseau, then q ten.year-old
boy, was severely chastised because
he was suspected Of having broken
teeth In a comb which did not belong
to him. He was innocent, and the
most terrible punishment could not
wiring from him an untrue confession.
The boy did not stop to reason that
there was strong circumstantial evil
dence to Justify suspicion in his direc-
tion. He felt only the rigor OF fright
ful chastisement for an ofrense OF
which he was gliltless And the an.
ISOLATION CT ideas was permanent; q
lasting impression was left on him.
The one idea which ever remained
strange to him, and which he resist
ed In theory and practice, was that of
duty, Unable to identify himself with
the society In which he lived, he fail
ed to appreciate the obligations to
ones fellows which are the best
part of human life.
Yet his influence for good was felt
is still being felt. It may be traced
IN the current political movements
In France, in England and even in
america. He struck out for the
rights Of the many against the few
against plutocracy and selfishness. He
demanded that the people should rule,
and that same demand Is being urged
throughout the civilized. world today.
The wrongtully administered punish
ment which Jean Jacques received In
the country school was not in vain.-

DATES FROM EARLIEST TIMES
Alfalfa, Probably Oldest Forage
Known, Can Be Traced Through
Worlds Whole History.

Alfalfa, perhaps the Oldest of all Gull
tiYated forage or hay plants, has had
history scarcely less interesting than
that of many nations which have util-
lied 1t. Those nations have prosper
ed almost in direct proportion to the
extent to which they have used 1t. The
name alfalfa" comes from the Arabs
and means "the best fodder" and in
fact 1t appears to have originated in
Media or in some adjacent country, as
the folklore tales from lands on diff
ferent sides of this area point toward
Media as the place whence 1t came.
The wars Of the Persian invasion OF
Greece took the plant to the latter
country about 500 B. c., it being the
custom. for the ADVANCE emissaries to
precede the army and to plant fields
for the sustenance Of the herds which
helped support the invading hosts.
From Greece 1t advanced to Italy and
Spain by successive stages, and was
taken to Old Mexico by the Spaniards
about 1919 A. D.
From there 1t was carried to South
America and later Q854) entered Cal
ifornia through the Golden Gate at the
time Of the activities incident to the
discovery Of gold in that state. Thence
1t spread over the irrigated sections
and more recently has continued its
march eastward until now 1t Is by far
the most important forage crop Of such
states as Nebraska and Kansas.
