With many directions from good |
hearted Mrs. Smith as to the care of
the child, Johnson took him into the |
card and drove away. And as the fat,
chubby hand stole into his own John
son felt a curious softening of the
heart and sense of a strange happi- |
ness.
He did not return for several days,
and when he did appear at the post
office, Mr.. Smith was amazed to hear
the child calling him daddy.

The problem was solved few days |

''Then you must take him away att

''Wen, I'll try" the postmaster said.
"But Mr.. Johnson kinder took ham

"But he can't have him" cried the
young woman Indignantly. How can

aunt?"
"He can't" admitted Mr.. Smith.
"Only he's sort of done it. However,
you wait here, miss, and I'll get Mr..
Johnson down by telephone inside of

Two hours later Johnson, looking
very uncomfortable, arrived with the
boy. But Johnny absolutely refused
to go with his new-found relative.

Smith. "Then he'll grow sort of used

On them! Miss Johnson suddenly
perceived that Johnson was really the
most miserable person present.
She accepted Mrs. Smiths hospi-
tally. And soon the situation was
self-evident. The child had evidently
destroyed the original tag, and in re-
writing it, the prefix Miss had some

read Mississippi 1.

The Potomac and Patuxent Forests.

The lecture of William NJ. Ellicott de-
livered before the Chamber OF Commerce
the other evening on the subject OF

hearing OF every member of Congress for
1t is vitality important that the truths
conveyed by him should be brought to
the notice of all legislators to the end of
early action. The subject of forest re-
broad principle has been adopted by the
government in the establishment of ma
tional forests in the west and beg. m

range in the east. Up to the present
time. however. nothing has been done
near the larger cities. and Mr.. Ellicott' $

way to demand consideration with a view
to extending the forest reserve policy
Under the law which authorized the ac-
QUESTION of the Appalachian area as a
national forest range the United States
IS authorized to purchase forest tracts
which affect the flow of navigable rivers.
1t would not be difficult to classify the
proposed Potomac and Patuxent areas
thus, and perhaps without any further
legislation the objects so graphically de-
scribed by the lecturer before the Cham

Mr.. Wilson and Legislation.

Mr.. Wilson's visit to the Capitol yes
terday was not on a par with his visit of

word of mouth rather than in writing by
the hand of a messenger. There was nov

was cordial That his views took on any
weight with Congress because of the
manner of delivery is to be doubted. They
would have been read with care if deliv-
cred in the old way. The sum total of
the accomplishment was the butchering
of a precedent to make a congressional
holiday.
Yesterdays visit was a matter of bust
ness" Mr.. Wilson had specific object
in mind. and went to the Capitol to for
ward il. Being advised that some of the
democratic senators were opposed to his
tariff program. he decided to try to get

ask he hit upon graciousness as an aid,

Twenty years ago Mr. Cleveland put

Homes for Our Diplomats.

Something like the bill that Senator
Bacon has introduced providing for the
leasing of homes for ambassadors and
ministers of the United States in foreign
countries should be passed by Congress
as promptly as possible. 1t is obvious
that men of less than large means are
unable to accept appointments to diplo-
matte posts at the present scale of sal
aries if compelled to rent their own
residences In some instances the entire
salary of an ambassador is absorbed by
his rent requirement alone and in other
instances the bare maintenance of the
establishment imposes drain upon the
personal resources of the incumbent. For
good many years sentiment has been
growing in this country in favor of a
more liberal arrangement. permitting the
selection for these responsible positions
of men Of less than the ti-millionaire
class.
1t is of course an honor. greatly to be
desired, to be selected to. represent the
United States abroad, but this govern
ment is too great and too rich to put it's
honors upon it's chosen offician at the
cost of heavy personal sacrifices on their
part Not only is this policy, which the
bdCul blll seems " oNcttuih, an h"ioC
display of nigSardly economy, certain to
reflect against the United States in for
eign circles, but it also restricts the
range of selection for these positions
Recently President Wilson has found
himself greatly embarrassed in the ap-
pointment of foreign representatives by
reason of the fact that the positions are
known to be at present equivalent to
mortgages upon the private resources of
the incumbents.
The Bacon bill scales the foreign diplo-
matte posts according to Importance, pro-
viding a range of from $1,000 to $4,000
a year rental and from $1,000 to $4,000
for equipment With these allowances
it will be possible for the American am
bassadors and ministers to live in dig
nifty and comfort without drawing upon
their private funds. In cases where ex-
ceptional display is desired it will be. of
course, possible for the incumbent to Sc
cure ii if his personal fortune permits
But under this proposal until by the sug-
gested process of annual purchases or
construction the United States has pro-
vided its own equipment the American
representatives abroad can, without
spending their own means, live in man
ner to command RESPECT. There should
be no doubt whatever about the early
passage of measure of this character

The Gettysburg Reunion.

From the indianapolis News
1t will be only little over two months
until the great blue and gray reunion at
Gettysburg Indiana will probably be rep
resented by hundreds. Preparations by
the state of Pennsylvania will be made
for 10000 people 1t is hardly probable
that so many that fought on the historic
field survive. Meade had about $4,000
men there. Lee about 10000. But it was
fifty years ago. They that were among
them who are still living must be at
three-score and ten or more. Those who
participate in this wonderful reunion will
present sight that the world has never
looked on before. There is no record of
any civil war that shows those who were
at death grips meeting in common fellow
ship fifty years after, citizens of coun-
try united as it never was before. The
third generation after the war of the
roses in England continued to transmit
to its posterity the bitterness Of the strife.
Long after all who had personal part in
the French revolution We're dead it's in
fiuence was felt in the politics OF the
country. With us, after fifty years and
while there are survivors by the thou
sands of the greatest civil war of history,

cial purposes would be deplorable- Ihere
now exist there wide stretches of noble
forest growths, the preservation OK
which is not merely sentimental mat
ter but is demanded in the interest OF
public safety. The floods in the mlddie
west have been attributed, without ques-
ton advisedly. in large part to the
stripping of the hills, as result of when
the soil fails to retain moisture. the rain
fall rushes in unchecked volume down
the hillsides and into 3he streams,
scoring the earth and filing up the chan
nels with aluvium. 1t is not incon-
ceivable that these results may follow
the deforestation of the Potomac and Pa
tuxent valleys. What is proposed is to
create forest reserves there now and pre-
vent the denudation of these hills so that
in time to come their beauties will have
been preserved and the evil effects OF
soil exposure in the watersheds pre-
vented.

Turning to Farming.
From tine Boston Transcript.

IT is a good thing for the country as
well as for themselves that our Jew
ish population is more and more turn
ing to agricultural pursuits. While
the purely technical aspects of the in
dustry are comparatively strange to
them and they require considera BILE
training and direction. they are capa-
BILE of being our instructors in some
of it's broader relations. The question
of rural credit unions is one that has
been put before Congress by Presi-
dent of the United States. The Gov
ernor of Massachusetts has sent spe-
cial recommendations to the legisla-
ture on the same matter. But the re-
port of the Jewish Agricultural and
Aid Society for 1912 gives an account
of three such credit unions by Jewish
farmers. in the states of New York
and Connecticut Loans equal to twice
the amount subscribed by members OF
these unions are granted. After five
months trial these organizations
showed a profit of 3la per cent on the
capital. After ten months the profit
was liz per cent on the investment
While all this has been on a small
scale. 1t seems to demonstrate the
workableness of the system.

Men may contrive a curious band
To squeeze the little fellow.

We all accept the song and dance

If We resent them. there's the chance

Senator's by Direct Vote.
n The New York Tribune.

Tennessee and Pennsylvania have just
ratified the amendment to the federal
Constitution providing for the direct cleo
ton of United States senator's Accord
ing to Associated Press dispatches, but
one more affirmative vote Is needed, and
that vote may be given by Rhode Island,
where one branch of the Legislature has
already ratified and action in the other is
close at hand. If Rhode Island fails, a
substitute may be found in Florida. whose
legislature will meet next week. In case
the necessary thirty-sixth vote is secured
early in April the amendment will have
been before the country only eleven
months. Two previous amendments-the
twelfth and the thirteenth-were ratified
more promptly, the former In nine months
and the latter In ten and half. But
only thirteen state legislatures were re-
quired to approve the twelfth amendment
and only twentY-seven the thirteenth
The process Of amendment is as easy and
expeditions now as il has been at any
other period in the republics history II
the voters want to change the Constitu-
ton they can accomplish their win with
out any material impeachment.
