Dove of Peace.

Certainly to the Democrats, whose
shibboleth for the last quarter of a
century has been harmony; possibly
even the Republicans, whose recent dis
sensions might reasonably be expected
to make them hopeful of disruption in
their ancient and honorable enemy, the
reconciliation. of Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Clark is a source of much joy.'
Mr.. Bryan's hold upon the affections
and respect of the party, whose Presi-
dental candidate he has thrice been, is
one of the considerable factors of ma
tional affairs today.
Mr.. Clark, in long and useful
service in the House, where he was
floor leader when his party was in the
minority, and where he has been
Speaker since his party became the
majority, has long stood before the
country as the stalwart captain of the
host when the battle seemed lost.
Both enjoy the love and admiration
of their compatriots and colleagues.
Their differences at the Baltimore con-

regret and serious acrimony.

High School Course.

A pleasing little story comes from
CORY, Pa, one that shows i'll what
high regard the Capital of the nation
is held by visitors A short time ago
the pupils of the high school of Cory
came to Washington, raising the funds
necessary for the trip at considerable
effort They came, saw, and were con-
quered.
Upon their return home they were so
enthusiastic over the benefits derived
from their visit the school board took
notice. 1t was shown that the edu-
cational value of the sightseeing trip
was one that could not be measured in
dollars and cents, that it brought home
to the young folks historical and pa
triotic facts they will never forget. The
citizens generally took the matter up
and. as result, it has been decided
to make the trip yearly occurrence
This is complimentary to Washing
ton in way, but the advantages of
visiting and seeing the places so often
mentioned, not only in history, but in
everyday life, are so apparent, other
high schools and school boards can
well afford to follow the example set
by Cory. Pa.

interference in the framing of the tariff
bill"

said nothing that could by any possibility
be construed to refer to President VIII

present tariff bill. i said nothing thar
could possibly be construed criti-

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
Baseball has never been regarded eX-
clusively as city product While it is
true that the cities supply the enormous
crowds that support the big leagues, 1t is
equally true that many of the players In
those leagues are graduates OF the
bush leagues. The country boy has an
equal chance with the city boy to win
the high honors and generous emolu-
ments of a successful ball player. The
farmer himself has not come directly IN
touch with the national game, perhaps,
except on a rare holiday. n professor
in the Kansas State Agricultural College
calls this mistake. Familiarity with
the game. he believes, would promote
success in agriculture. Ii the farmer
would play ball lit would take the sham
BILE out of his walk and make him
decide quickly This is an interesting
theory, but it will not be universally
accepted. Some will contend that the
motor car has already taken the sham
ble' out of the farmers walk. Others
will insist that handling a high-spirited
horse or pitching load of hay on a
wagon while Thunderstorm is gathering
is just as valuable in training his mental
faculties to quick action

To the Editor: A recent prominent
convert to the cause of woman'S suffrage
declares: 1T would be impossible for
women to make a worse botCh of the
privilege of voting than men have
made" Which is probably altogether
true. The ideal settlement of the mat
ter would be to deprive the wrong sort
OF men of the franchise and TO allow it
to the right sort of women. And if this
plan were tried it would be found that
the wrong sort of men is unquestion-
ably in excess of the right sort of
women.
II those persons of the sex supposed
TO he superior. who contend that woman
kind are incapable of sustaining an ar
gument, were to take the trouble to
read even little of the best that is
written on the subject of equal suffrage
by women. they might possibly get rid
of some of their prejudice. Because a
few of those who are contending for the
ballot in England throw stones IL does
not follow that all suffragettes are stone
throwers, in favor of demonstration of
this sort, or that the movement in which
so many good women are now engaged
is to be condemned. Yet this is the
way a great many men reason. holding
that women are invariably swayed by
their emotions. AS if men were never
Again and again We are told that the
vast majority of women do not want
the ballot. Nobody denies this, but all
women do want Industrial economic, and
moral conditions that can be secured by
no other means than the ballot. Just
as soon as women fully realize this fact
they will rise up in solid phalanx in
their demand for the ballot, and no COM
bination will be able to defeat them.
1t seems strikingly significant that the
woman's suffrage cause does not have
the support of the criminal interests.
The liquor and immoral dive interests"
the child labor interests and the rep
resentatives of the red-light industry
and white-slave traffic are aware that II
the women of America are allowed to
vote there will be a big moral house
cleaning in this country, and that when
the dust clears away a lot of wealthy
criminals will be wearing striped suits

matters any worse than they are at
present, and the probabilities are that
they will exert a tremendous influence

All Used Up.

From Harper's Magazine.
10 Curtis, who owned land on which
there was good shooting, had inserted
alluring advertisements in the town Pa
pers without obtaining any marked re-
suit. After much consideration he decid-
ed to let it out by the day to whatever
sportsman happened to come his wav.
One day party arrived and paid days
hire. They tried to persuade the farmer
to accompany them, but he noticed the
way they held their guns and declined.
Instead. he gave them dogs and ferrets,
told them where to find birds and rab-
bits. and bade them have a good days
sport.
There was an ample amount of banging
as the day wore on, and in the afternoon
one Of the gunners returned to the farm
house.
"Hello!' said the farmer, shot all the
birds?''
"Er-n-no," hesitatingly replied the
sportsman.
Been goin' for the rabbits, Ell? Any
luck?'

What have you come back for them"

The radical tariff bill has had the
effect of solidifying the opposition
When it comes to voting, the Republi-
cans and the Progressives, both in the
House and Senate. will be found united
in their opposition to the measure.
There is nothing, however, like gen.
uine coalition anywhere apparent. The
election of another Democratic Con-
gresham last week at the special cleo
ton in Massachusetts, was due to the
fact that both the Republican and Pro-
gressive parties had candidates in the
field, thus dividing the anti-Democratic
vote and enabling the Democrats 10

tinucs up to and throughout the Con

are already organizing for the Con-
gressional campaign, and are making
an impression by their activity and
earnestness. If the Republican man.
ayers arc at all interested i'll the po-
litical situation, they do not manifest
their concern. The spirit of apathy is
over all
There are some born optimists, like
ex-Spcaker Cannon. who believe that
events will work to the glory OF the
Republican party even though moth
ing be done by the party organization.
They reason that when the tariff leg

come back to the Republican ranks
They point to the fact that i'll Michi-

candidate was third in the race These

Other Disturbing Factors.

There are other disturbing factors in
the Democratic ranks. More than
one Representative has spoken resent
isfly Of the active interest which the
President has taken in directing tariff
legislation.
And vet the position assumed by the
President is one that is not only nat
ural, but logical. He is the leader of
the party He must either veto or
approve the measure which Congress
will finally submit TO him. 1t is es-
sential, therefore, if he is to act in
harmony with his party, that he must
be made acquainted with the details
OF the proposed legislation, and that
his views receive consideration. The
conferences which have been held upon
the tariff bill can hardly he regarded
as Executive interference. The Demo
cratic party must stand or fall upon
its tariff legislation. and the fact that
the head of the party is not only ap-
prised of what is being done, but is
asked for his advice seems reasonable
enough.
The frmneSs of the President in
impressing his views upon his party
associates in Congress may create some
friction, but can hardly prove serious
matter. Sensible men are not going to
quarrel because leader assumes lead
erslip. The differences between the
President and the House are not mat
tiers of principle, but of detail The
Democratic party, as a whole, is pledged
TO wipe protection from the statute
books and while it is not literally re-
deeming this pledge, il is certainly 60
ing as far as it can. There is no
doubt as to the direction of the pro-
cession, but the trouble is that the
President wants to march boldly and
rapidly over the whole route
The question of what shall and what
shall not go upon the free list is also
a thorn in the Democratic side. There

Court Gossip of Interesting
Events on Two Continents

Copyright 1918. by Court Gossip Syndicate.)
King Constantine fulfills two medieval
prophecies in which his name figures. One
predicted that should ever again Con-
stantine rule over Hellas, and his wife 8
name be Sophia, he will revive the an
cient glories as Emperor at Byzantium.
The new Kings spouse is Sophia, and
she is sister of the German Kaiser.
Under present conditions it is more than
probable that Constantine may become
ruler of Constantincple the ancient
Byzantium), even If his wifes name had
not been Sophia, for present indications
certainly point to the enlargement OF
Greece into a powerful Eastern empire
as Of yore.
The second prediction dates from 116s,
when, according to information sent the
King of France from his representative
at Constantinople. that city was greatly
perturbed in consequence of sentence
inscribed mysteriously one night on the
golden gate to the effect that: when
fair-haired King comes from the West,
shall open to him.
Constantine is decidedly fair-haired.
Leopold ! Of Belgium had the first offer
of the Hellenic throne in 1890, before
the same was rendered to Prince George
of Denmark. He declined the honor, but
subsequently regretted having done so.
So did his father-in-law. King Louis
Philippe. who remarked: My son-in-law
Leopold feels like hanging his head
against the wall for being. so foolish as
not to accept the throne of Greece. He
always used TO say that in course or
time he would have become Emperor OF
the Orient.
1t was well enough to say so. But
in my opinion the real cause was the
cutting down, through the efforts or
Britain-by weliington-the borders OF
the kingdom. II was to have Included
Thessaly and Epirus, but by diplomatic
jugglery the sublime porte retained
everything to the Pindus.

that none of the present line of British
