VICTOR HUGO IN EXILE.
And the Attic Room In Which He
Wrote His Masterpiece.

, wrote TITS MASTERPIECES.
A graphic description of visit to
Victor Hugo in Guernsey and Of his
quaint home there is given by the late
| Sir William Butler In his autobiogra-
oily:
''Of the many curious things to be
seen In Hauteville house the masters
sleeping room was the strangest. He
had built it on the roof between two
great blocks of chimneys. You as
cended to his workshop bedroom by
stairs which somewhat resembled a
ladder. Quite half of the room was
glass. and the view from it was mag
niicent The isles of Jethou and Sark
were in the middle distance. and be-
yond lay many mile of the Norman
| coast. Alderney lay to the north, and
beyond 1t one saw the glistening win
dows Of the triple lighthouses of the
CasQuet rocks and still more to the
right the high ridges overlooking Cher
bourg. The bed was a small camp
bedstead. with table on one side of
it and a small desk chest of drawer
on the other. with pens. ink and paper
always within reach.
Near the bed stood a small stove
which he lighted himself every morn
ing and on which he prepared his cafe
au lait: then work began at the large
table which stood in the glass alcove
few feet from the foot Of the bed
This work went on till it was time to
dress and descend to dejeuner in the
room on the ground floor already de
scribed AS the sheets of writing pa
per were finished they were number
ed and dropped on the floor. to be
picked up. arranged and put away In
the drawer desk at the end of the
mornings labor. He called the writ
ing table his carpenters bench and
the leaves which fell from it his shaw
ings.'
ut was at this table and in this airy
attic that most Of the great work of
his later life was done. Here were
written Les Miserables,' Les Traveil-
leurs de la Mer' and many volumes of
poetry"

PAID WITH A FLAG.
Rich Ducai Estates In England With
Curious Rental.

1t is not generally known that on
the anniversary of Waterloo each year
June IS. 1915, was the original day
the Duke of Wellington is required to
present the sovereign with new flag
bearing the French colors as an &C.
acknowledgement that his grace holds the
manor of Strathfeldsaye at the will
and pleasure of the king, that estate
having been presented to the Iron Duke
as national gift for his success over
Napoleon at Waterloo
The ceremony Of the presentation of
the flag Is today much, shorn of its
ancient glory. for formerly the ruling
duke used to bring the trophy himself
on horseback and personally offered it
to the monarch Nowadays it Is sent
by deputy, however. and is then placed
by some appointed equerry in the po-
sition assigned to it-namely. over the
marble bust Of the old Duke Of We'll
lington that stands on its pedestal in
the guardroom at Windsor castle The
flag which has rested there during the
preceding year is then taken down and
returned to the dukes messenger.
1t is on the special condition of thus
rendering this annual tribute Of feudal
service. as we may call it. that the
reigning duke is allowed to retain the
splendid estate already mentioned. If
he omits to send the banner on the
proper day he forfeits the right to the
estates
The same principle applies to the
beautiful domains of Blenheim held
by the Duke of Marlborough. who sim
ilarly has to send new flag on each
anniversary of the battle tAug l3.
1104). The banner is placed over the
bust Of the noted Duke Of Marlbor-
ough. also in the guardroom at Wind

TREAT ALL ALIKE.

We trust the Associated Press dis
patches from Washington do Presi-
dent Wilson an injustice by the state
ment that he has intimated he is
willing to sign the sundry civil bill
carrying a clause for 100000 for
the enforcement of the Sherman
law and providing it shall not be
used against the farmers co-opera-
tive organizations or labor unions.
We believe this country has reached
the point where the enforcement of
law ought to fall on all alike. 1t is
the rankest sort of cowardice to pro-
vide for the enforcement of the Sher-
man law and then specify that GER
tain classes are not to be prosecuted
We cannot understand how any mem
ber of congress should vote for such
a bill. We certainly do not believe
that any member of congress whC
does vote for such a bill with hi
eyes open is worthy of the supper
of his homefolks. We believe thor
oughly in farmers cooperative or
ganization and just as thoroughly il
organized labor, but If either o
these institutions are in violation O
the antitrust law they ought to b.
prosecuted or the law repealed.

LICENSED NEWSPAPER MEN.

A bill requiring newspaper men to
pass an editorial examination board
before they can be allowed to prac-
tice their profession is being pushed
by Lieutenant Governor O'Hara of
Illinois. The alleged purpose is to
protect the reputable men in the bus
iness.
Newspaper men would welcome
anything that elevated the dignity of
newspaperdom. But an examination
system seems practically impossible.
First, the politicians would try to
control such an examining board.
They would want journalists" who
would be good" and 'stand without
hitching" Men who had ideas of
their own on politics might find it
hard to pass the tests.
Assuming that such board was
kept out of politics and placed in the
hands of really capable newspaper
men, one difficulty would be with a
class of people who devote only part
of their time to newspaper work.
Take our old friends in the rusty
black bombazine gown, who with in
finite toll over the sitting room lamp
sends in her weekly grist of items
from North Jay. She gives satisfac-
ton to a host of boys who have
moved away from the old hearth.

a four years apprentice before she
can write 'items" for the paper, OF

A man who has the newspaper

board can alter this fact

CONTROLLING RIVERS.

1t is easy enough to talk about
controlling the great rivers of this
country. In times of flood it seems
as il something might be done to
avert recurrence. No doubt sys-
tematic effort will soon be made to
fence in the Mississippi, but that will
be a job for the irrepressable Yam
kee. The Panama canal was pud-
din beside tanning the Father of Wa
ters. When that old river goes on a
rampage it spills 100000 gallons
of water per second. Do you under
stand what that means? 1t is twelve
times stronger than Niagara. 1t
would cover a section of land a foot
deep in twelve seconds. Some water!

IF JAPAN FOUGHT US.

Some of the people who are worry
ing about the drubbing the little
brown men are going to give Uncle
Sam might feel different would they
make study of the hard times now
prevailing in Japan.
After the war with Russia the
Japanese government set out to ere
ate economic independence, partly
through a protective tariff and ship
subsidies, but more particularly by
direct government aid to manufac-
turing. Companies with capital ag-
gregating hundreds of millions guar
anteed the interest payment on many
of these.
For the time being this created a
fictitious appearance of prosperity.
Within the past year, however, it is
seen that a nation, like an Individual,
can't lift itself by it's own -boosstraps.
The growth of manufacturing towns
had led to the depletion of the agri-
cultural districts. There are great
sections where there are abandoned
farms like those on the wornout hills
of New England. The result has
been a distressing advance in the cost
of rice, and half rations among the
poor.
The condition of the japanese
farmer has become pathetic. In bad
years his rice field brings him in $24
per acre, which it cost $36 to pro-
duce. Even in exceptionally good
years he does not clear more than
$3.50 per acre. Eighty-five per cent
of the farms are mortgaged.
The income of the Japanese people
averages about $23 per capita
Their taxes take $4.40 out of this
$23. They are not in very goot
shape to invest in the costly play
| things of war! 1t will take the Japs
a generation to carry off the burdens
of the Russian war and to adjus
themselves to the costly scale of liv
ing of modern civilization.
Won Moltke once said that HI
knew 1000 ways to get a German
army into England, but not one t.
get it out. How much more tru,
this would be in case of japanese
attack on this country.

OLD LOCATION VS.. ENTERPRISE.

In the days before modern adver-
tising, business success was the work
of lifetime. A merchant had to
squat in his location, and for years
he never got any trade but the drift
ers. Staid and conservative people
traded where they used to trade. 1t
never occurred to them that anyone
else could have anything worth at
tention.
Today the currents of business can
be easily diverted. In any live town
there are new men who have ac-
quired handsome good will by a
years intelligent and persistent ad-
vertising.
The public does not ask today,
What kind of goods did your father
sell?" or What kind of goods did
you sell ten years ago?" 1t asks,
"What kind of goods are you selling
today?" 1t appreciates the great
value of an old location and an hon
orable record, But these factors dc
not count unless they are united with
wide-awake enterprise. And no man
gives any evidence that he has en-
terprise enough to protect his Gus
toners interest, unless he keeps the
! ;Nf aI 80 xxyho
he is doing.

THAT BOY OF YOURS.

The American Magazine has an
appealing article entitled What My
Boy Knows"-the confession of a
father.
Father was a city man, respecta-
BILE, well meaning, comfortably fixed
but busy; and mother was pious, gen.
erous, over-indulgent. The conse-
auence was that son went pretty
much his own way; of course, the
easiest way. He became not exactly
fallen boy, as we use the adjective
upon girl, but boy with his bet
ter nature curdled-a lad inclined to
be blase, cynical.
An incident revealed to father the
lads drift and dad forthwith sat up,
realized he'd been neglectful; that the
fault was as much his as the boys,
and took steps to reclaim the young
ster before the damage had become
irreparable.
We don't recommend or quite ap-
preciate this fathers remedy. He
held the city in part responsible; ar
gued that it puts too many pitfalls in
the way of it's boys; that its artifi-
cialities, its commercialized strivings
for forced pleasures, its stress and its
froth were more than normal lad
could withstand. Therefore, he
packed the family into train and
migrated to the country. Back to
the farm.
Country life of the right kind is
fine. But how about fathers who
can't seize their tempted sons and
run away from the naughty town?
For one who can flee a thousand
must stay. What about the millions
of anchored sires?
You can do this with your boy in
the city:
You can play ball with him; yoJ
can take walks with him; you cal
! enter as chum into the lntlmacle'
of his boyish life-be good fellow
in short
You can set him an example o
clean living.
You can take enough time from
dollar-chasing to introduce him t.
g cd books, to plays that don't fill
him with vicious suggestion, to tn
continually enriching better aspect
of the modern city.
You don't have to lecture or scol,
or mollycoddle him to make man o
him. In fact, that's a way to los
him.
