THE MULHALL CONFESSION.
New \ ork Evenine Post.

New York Evening Post.
The story put out by the lobbyist
Mulhall is Of a familiar type. Just how
significant are its revelations can be
determined only after they have been
subjected to adequate scrutiny. Some
of them appear to be absurd or incredi-
BILE on their face; others have prima-
facie probability, and some are sup
ported by documentary evidence. The
one thing that is most salient in the
case at first sight is the folly of the
head men of the National Association
of Manufacturers in carrying on such
operations as. even upon the most fav-
orable view Of the case, Mulhall was
entrusted with, through the agency of
such man and by means of such writ
ten correspondence as has now come to
light But, 50 far at least as Mr.. Kir-
by is concerned, there ought to be
nothing very surprising in this. The
indiscretions now revealed can hardly
give evidence of greater lack Of judg-
ment than some of the public utter
ances By the late president of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers.
If his secret plottings were not better
managed than his open appeals to pub
lie opinion, they certainly constituted
to serious danger to the republic.

NOT LIKE MIR. BRYAN.
Milwaukee Sentinel.


When Mr. Bryan through the Com
moner attempts to palliate the course
of the attorney general in ordering a
postponement of that California white
slave prosecution. he defends the in
defensible.
Had the bunder Ito use a mild term
tor iD been pcpetrated by members
of a republican cabinet nobody would
have shrieked louder against it than
the Commoner
Just fancy how Mr.. Bryan would
have rent the wekin with his clamors
had Mr. Taft's attorney general de-
layed prosecution of rich white slave
case defendant, son of a high federal
official, to oblige another cabinet
member
The Commoner fully suggests that
the three or four months postponement
would not have meant the final baking
of justice. Would it not? California
thinks otherwise.
Furthermore, President Wilson'S en-
phatic reversal of the McReynolds
postponement order admits the indie
fensibleness of that order.
Mr.. Bryan makes a needless tactical
mistake in trying to defend an order
which the president has so pointedly
repudiated
When Mr.. Wilson reversed Mercy
nolds he to all mtants and purposes
morally sustained McNab. Yet Nc
Reynolds holds his place, while Nc
Nab's resignation is accepted in spite
of the fact that McNab's resignation
was a protest against the very order
which the president so hurriedly and
emphaticaly reversed.

Must Legislature Be an

ton by saying, not necessarily. There
are circumstances very often present

in keeping a legislature from under
such condemnation, but they don't most
always embrace the opportunity 1t is
probable that they furnish grounds for
the accusation when they are constant

as possible.

Illinois Colo Snap.

One of the most remarkable stories
OF sudden cold weather is to be found
in a famous biography of Abraham
Lincoln. The year 1886 was long
known as "the year of the 5udder
change" AT noon on December &c
of that year after warm, rainy morn
ing the temperature suddenly fell 4C
degrees. A man riding into Spring
field for marriage license found the
raindrops dripping from his bride ano
beard changed 'in a second" into jim
Cling icicles.
Geese and chickens we're caught by
their feet and wings and frozen to the

being driven to ST. Louis rushed to
gether for warmth and formed a huge
pile. Those inside smothered, while
those outside froze, and the CHASTITY
pyramid remained on the prairie foI
months.
Men caught on the prairie killed
their horses, disembowled them and
crept into the cavity of their bodies
to escape the murderous blizzard.

SAVED EMPIRE BY STRATEGY
Military Leaders Of 6yzantium Made
Up by FInesse What They Lacked
In Numbers.

After the decline of Rome the CEN
ter of the worlds military progress
was, for seven or eight centuries,
transferred to the Greek empire. Con-
stantinople ruled elements OF much
less homogeneous nature than Rome,
in her prime, had depended upon.
There was less loyalty to the central
rule there, and far less liberty I'M
der it,
The decisive military fact of the
east was, however that Byzantium
had to contend against overwhelming
numerical superiority in its enemies.
South of it. from the Indies to the
Atlantic, was the Saracen empire,
burning with the zeal of new re-
ligion. To the east were the Seljuk
Turks, while to the north were the
Bulgarians, and the Slovenian and
Hunic tribes.
Against such odds it was useless
simply to match man for man. The
military leaders of the empire were
full of military spirit and took keen
delight in war as a game; but they
we're the descendants of Ulysses, and
they made of war a game OF tnesse'
of cleverness-in short, a war OF wits.
BY their spying and brides, by stir
ring up treason in the enemy's camp,
by surprises, simulated retreats and
ambush. they illustrated the saying OF
Bacon that stratagem is a weaker kind
of policy, used by those who are not
strong enough to win by fairer meth

1t would be a good thing If some
mems pockets were sewn up One

hip pocket of the trousers is a good

MEANINGS CHANGED BY TIME
Study of Word Building Through Cen
turtles Brings Out Many Most
interesting Points.

Word building is as much piece
of carpentry as is house building.
Only 1t takes longer Sometimes a
century or more And by that time
the words first meaning is usually
changed.
For example, the old word for
"neighbor" was "sib." Ones good
neighbor was known as ones good
sib," This became shortened to god
sib," and later to gossip" Then the
words whole meaning changed and
gossip no longer meant good neigh
Dor, but applied to the sort of talk
exchanged between good neighbors.
Take the word farmer" too. The
old word fer farmer" was "boor.
(And "boor" later was used for de-
scribing farmerlike or rough per-
sons.) The farmer living nearest to
one was known as the 'nighbor," and
this phrase, in course of time, was
twisted to "ncighbor."
You've heard the proverb: Little
pitchers have big ears" Well, it
doesn't refer to the utensil that holds
water or goes to the corn side door.
pitcher" was slang term with some
such meaning as our word chap" or
fellow" Thus. little fellows have
big ears" is a more sensible rendering

Let the Oregon Lead.

Some 10000 school children of the
state of Oregon have sent a petition to
the secretary Of the navy asking that
the battleship Oregon be designated to
lead the naval parade through the Pan
anna canal when it is formally opened.
As the Oregon viii be put out of com
mission soon after the opening Of the
canal it seems ftt;rg that this distinc-
ton and honor should be accorded the
vessel that made one Of the most re.
markable voyages in naval history and
did such excellent service at the battle

driving OF an automobile through the
streets. Consequently, a man in a

Iron BearInq plants.

Experiments are under way at the
agricultural meteorological station in
Vienna to increase the quantity of
iron carried in certain plants with a
view TO the effect on the human sys-
tenn when those plants are used as
food. Artificially prepared foods con.
tanning iron do not always produce
the desired effect, because the iron is
not completely assimilated. This diff
fculty, II is thought, may be avoid
ed by causing plants to take up an
increased quantity of iron during their
natural growth. BY adding hydrate of
iron to the soil in which it was grow
ing, the experimenters have succeed
ed in producing spinach containing a
percentage Of iron seven times as
great as that found in ordinary spin
ach. Ii is believed that the process
will prove successful with other fer
ruginous plants.
