A PEEVED PRESIDENT.

The high personal esteem that has
been quite generally entertained for
President Wilson has been altered
somewhat of late by the peculiar at
titude he has taken upon various
affairs.
Leaders the A. r. G. feel parti-
cularly inceased over his declination
make an address on Memorial day at
Arlington National Cemetery, at the
very gates of Washington, but ac-
cepted an invitation to be present and
speak at the unwilling of the impos-
ing monument to the Confederate dead
on June 4, In the same cemetery
The feeling is intensified when it is
remembered that he declined the G..
A. r. invitation last year as we'll
1t did not help matters much that he
listened to the advice of friends later
and made Memorial day talk, after
having declined, and after Speaker
Champ Clark had accepted an invita-
tion to be the orator of the occasion.
The president secretary, Mr..
Tumulty, in his statement concerning
the Arlington incident, says the pre-
sident did not think the occasion
would be opportune for an appropriate
address,
The Chicago Tribune, commenting
upon the affair, says "It would
seem that the president compromised
finally by thinking that the occasion
would be opportune for an inap-
propriate address. - That paper then
continues:
He delivered it.
The occasion was not one for a
sermon clarifying the virtues of
peace. The memories of Memorial
day are memories of those who ''gave
the last full measure of devotion, -
and that last full measure was life
itself. To devote an address to ex-
planning that this last full measure
was no greater measure than the
performance of duties in peace is
excessively bad taste and must have
left his hearers chilled and uncom-
Portable. To stand at the graves of
men who died in battle and tell US
that There are battles which are
just as hard to go into and just as
hard to stay in as the battles of
arms is like receiving a generous

gift with the remark that other gifts
may be as generous.
Mr.. Wilson seems to be obsessed
of late by sense of the sacrifices re-
quired of men in times of peace. At
the address in honor of the men killed
at Vera Cruz he committed the same
offense, against propriety of which he
was guilty at Arlington when he said ::
81 never went into battle, but 1
fancy that there are some things just
as hard to do as go under fire. |
fancy it is just as hard to do your
duty when men are sneering at you as
when they are shooting at you
Most of us would perfer the sneer s,
but, accepting the Wilson theory, we
are unable to see why he thought it
appropriate to make the comparison
at such a time.
Is Mr.. Wilson constitutionally
lacking in sense of propriety, or is
he suffering from temporary obses-
sion? We certainly hope the latter
is true, and that after these two
peculiarly offensive incidents he will
recover. His condition now, if a
diagnosis may be hazarded, is injured
egotism, for he did not hesitate to
refer to himself in the Baltimore ad-
dress. This reference raises specula-
tion as to what Mr.. Wilson would say
if he were subjected to such abuse
as Washington, Lincoln or even
Cleveland was obliged to undergo.
He does not seem to appreciate the
extraordinary restraint which the
press and public opposed to his
policies have shown towards him.
He is indulging in self-pity on rather
slight provocation, and his advisers,
if he has any of influence, would do
him service if they warn him that
nothing will injure him with the
American people more than viii mper-
ing with so little cause.

MARKET STAYS DULL
 IN SPITE OF BULLS

New York. June 22.-Opening spec ulation was active in Rock Island se- curfttes at the opening of the stock market today, but otherwise trading was feature1ess. Rock Island deben- lures were slightly Egher. but the other bonds, which advanced on Sat urday following announcement of the reorganization plan, worked lower. The collaterals dropped back 1 S-S to 29 1-2. These bonds, as well as the common stock, at 7-s, and the pre- ferred, at 1-4, made new low rec ords.
 The general market was steady with an improving tendency among the standard shares. By rising 5-S to 5e, Utah copper reached the highest of the year.
 Noon.-Efforts to revive buI1ish speculation by bidding up representa- tive stocks met with only temporary success. Although the list improved slightly after the opening, prices were shaded later, and by noon. the aver age was fractionalIy under Saturdays close. Rock Island coIIatera1s slump ed to 2S 3-4 before receiving support which carried them back to 80 3 4.
 Another engagement of gold for ex- port, amounting to &1,5OO, 900 was ar ranged. Sterling exchange was strong and higher. Bonds were irregular.

Bishop Thornton when in BaIlarat was walking one fine Sunday morning with his favorite dog. a. very intelli- gent retriever. The dog was perform ing all sorts of tricks-jumping over his masters stick, retrieving it from the water, and so on,
 z The bishop was aware of the wide eyed interest of a small boy who, with his nurse, WAS walking on the shore of the lake. The bishop recognized in him the son of neighbor with whom he was on the best of terms, although the neighbor was a leading light of Nonconformity in the city.
 To amuse this boy the bishop put the dog through the whole category of his tricks and then said. .'eSow, isn't that a nice dog and wouldn't you like to have one like him?'' To whicE the small boy replied stern1y, '.Sir, I think you forget what day this is.''-London Citizen.

Pleaau1.aa.

The objects of pleasure are two i'm number. First, to kill time, and,- sec ond, to keep us from doing something else which would make us more nis- erable. The pleasures of the Ameri- can people roughly speaking, are like wise twofold-nameIy. making money and spending it. Some people derive all their pleasure from making money, and others all their pleasure from spending 1t. Others combine the two.
 Being aE inventive people, the Amer ! jeans have created many ways of spending money. Being too busy nnak- ing it to spend any time on the drudg cry of running their country they spend large portion of it in support ing the politicians. This indeed. is one of their chief pleasures. And their superb sense of humor enables them to enjoy intensely the accounts of what all the politicians are doing. which enterprising papers publish from day to day.
 The Americans have other pleasures, but compared with this one they arc mostly trivial.-Life.

Wilson Program To Reach Senate In
 Course Of Today

washington, June 22-TeDe adninis- tratious antitrust program was cx- pected to come benore the Senahe for nally today. First on the program is the federal trade commission bill This measure was recently completed by the committee on interstate commerce. of which Senator 1ewlands is chadr- man He planned to call up the bill and to ask that 1t be made unfinished business.
 The other measures on the program, the Clayton antitrust bill and the railroad securities bill. are still being considered in committee, but are ex- pected to be reported to the Senate shortly All three bills have bean passed by the House.
 The appearance Of the trade com mission bill was expected to be the signal for general debate on the sub ject of trust legislation The meas l1re is a substitute for the House bill but is virtually identical with it. One of the changes made in the bill by the committee as reported provides that unfair competition in 1commerce Ghall be unlawful and gives the trade com- mission power to prevent such unfair competition by court orders.
 Another provides for investigation Of foreign trade conditions and their effect on American export trade and investigation of the question of com binatioqs among American and for cign producers for the control of prices.
 The House bill provides a commits sion of three members, the Senate one of five members The. House bin gives the commission authority over corporations with a capital of not 1ess than $5 100000 while the Senate bill includes all corporations. except rail- roads which are engaged in inter state commerce. In other respects, however, the bills are practically 3den- teal.

Records That sheuId se Preserved.

Records That Should Be Preserved.
 Tn many private homes and in thou sands of offices are to be found public records of inestimable value that daily run the risk of destruction. These should be preserved to posterity. Loss would mean annihilation. 1t is there fore the duty of all discerning ones throughout this broad land to take a personal interest in their preservation They should no longer be left to the care of officers and indifferent citi- zens who are in too many instances ig- norant of their value and reckless as to their preservation.

 The kaiser has habit of gently tug ging at his left ear when anything bothers him.
 One day some years ago when he was on a visit to England he was handed telegram. The contents of the message apparently dfspleased him. for he immediately began tugging at his ear.
 The Prince of Wales, then a boy, watched the performance with consid- erable interest.
 "Uncle.'' he said at length, ''why are you pulling your ear?"
 Because I'm annoyed. I suppose. !" replied the kaiser.
 And when you're very annoyed 2 persisted the young prince, what do you do then?'
