Bunker said, in substance, that he was
tired of this meaningless reference to
ancient history and believed others
were tired of it.
It was flash of intelligence upon
group of hero-worshipping enthusiasts.
Gardner seems to have had reyela-
ton and undoubtedly other Progressive
leaders have at last glimpsed the fact
that there were some features of the
Chicago demonstration fully as dis
creditable to the ageddonites as
was any phase of it to Republican
procedure. The constant yelling of pot
concerning the hue of kettle, has not
made friends for the Sermon on the
Mounters. Republican leaders and
press have been content for the hypoc-
risy to continue. Those who had view

Lloyd Georges Ultimatur.
(Tha Iriah Wnrid

The day after the Orangemen OF Ulster
began their campaign of bluffing, Lloyd
George Chancellor of the Exchequer, de-
livered a public speech in which he
showed that the followers of Carson
were pulling the chestnuts of the British
aristocracy out of the fire. 1t is consti-
tutional government versus aristocratic
privileges. AS the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer expressed it: .In the days of
our forefathers the claim was for the
divine right of Kings; today it was the
claim for the divine right of the aris-
tocracy." The Orange fanatics in few
counties of Ulster are the agents en-
ployed to strengthen this divine right
of the aristocracy."
Behind Orange clustering and bluffing
is entrenched the Tory Party, which des-
perately hopes that what is taking place
in Ulster will score a victory for Tory
ism. Lloyd George serves notice upon 1t
that the Liberal Party will not swerve
hairs breadth from it's Irish policy.
Liberalism" to quote his words will
not finch one inch before the arrogance
and insolent plague of Toryism. l am
here on behalf of the Government to say
that we mean to confront this defiance of
popular liberties with resolute and UNI
wavering determination. whatever the
hazard may be. We are not fighting
about Ulster or Home Rule. We are
fighting for all that is essential to the
civil liberty of the land"
1t is the ultimatum of the liberal Gov
eminent to the Tories and their Orange
allies. 1t Is a declaration that justice
will not be denied to Ireland because
handful of ignorant fanatics threaten
armed resistance to the enforcement of
an Act of Parliament. 1t is calling the
bluff of the biscted reactionaries, who
talk and act as if they were living in
the 18th century instead of the Goth.
They are told that in fighting the spirit
Of the age, they will be opposed by all
the resources at the command of the

Serum Found for Pneumonia.

The Rockefeller Institute of Medi-
cal Research of New York, after three
years of untiring search and toll has
made the following welcome an
sion:
THE hospital of the Rockefeller In
stitute is now prepared to treat pa
tients suffering from acute lobar
pneumonia with specific anti-pneumo-
cous serum. The results so far OBJ
tanned indicate that the proper use
of this method is efficient in lowering
the mortality from this disease.
In order to make this method of
treatment effective. it is necessary
that in each case the type of pneumo-
MIA causing the infection be deter
mined before treatment is commenced.
In most cases it is now possible to
do this within a few hours after the
patient comes under observation. but
the method is still complicated. More
over, the supply of serum is limited,
and for the present the efforts of this
institution will be confined to the
treatment of patients admitted to the
hospital Our ambulance will be sent
promptly for any patients suffering
from this disease whom you may de-
sire to have admitted"

At the request of those women OF

to go on record as standing for the

A thousand Bibles have just been

and Apaian in Micronesia. The
preparation of the Gilbertese text was
the loving labor of a lifetime to the
famous missionary translator, the late
Rev. DR.. Hiram Bingham. The fin
ished books disclose a happy col
laboration of Bible Society and mis-
sionary in giving light to the isles that
wait for His law"
In the bindery at the Bible House
poison was worked into the covers 10

room was turned into a tinshop while
the books in parcels of 90 were SOL
dered up in tin to guard against wet
ting by waves or weather and the
shipping office supplied the tin cases
with so stout boxes as armor against
rough handling by stevedores of many
races-all these pains being taken to
insure the safe arrival of the precious
freight at the Gilbert Islands. The
cost to the American Bible Society of
this consignment was 1885,. 1t Is

sionaries are free to give away the
Bibles at their discretion, they will re-
turn to the Bible Society the net pro-

At the meeting III Boston of the con-
ference committee on moral education
at the annual meeting of the Equal
Suffrage League, Mrs. Beatley, the
chairman, protested against the pres
ence of boys and girls in the court
room during the giving of criminal evil
dence by adults, and it is a protest that
should be needed. And it ought to go
further than that, and exclude every
body except those directly interested
from all cases, or at least murder ana
cases of disreputable nature. The
papers report all that is necessary OF
the cases, and the parts they cannot
report should not be heard either. We
cannot see that there is anything to be
gained by admitting the public to
trials, and in many cases much harm
may be done by hearing the testimony.

Representative Burke's defeat OF
Senator Crawford for the Republican
nomination for Senator from South
Dakota is a cruel thrust at the Pro-
gressive dogma that the G. 0. p. is
dead and buried. South Dakota was
not only for Roosevelt in 1912, but so
strongly for him that it gave Taft and
La Toilette combined far fewer votes
than 1t cast for the Colonel. and in
November there were no Taft electors
at all. The Roosevelt electors pledged
themselves to vote for Taft if it came
to a struggle between Taft and Wilson.
Now Representative Burke, a Taft
supporter, carries the state, although
laboring under the disadvantage of be-
ing designated on the ticket as the
minority candidate. We wonder
how he dared run, or even face his
constituents, after being on the wrong
side at Armageddon. Is it possible
that South Dakota voters choose their
officers upon some other basis than
that of allegiance to the Progressive
standard? The result makes one feel
that there may be something symp-
tomato in the California registration
figures of $4,000 Republicans and only
$4,000 Progressives.

THEN

Forty-seven years ago today the
United States purchased Rus
sian America, a tract as large as
the Atlantic states put together,
for S7,200,000. The bargain was
widely ridiculed. The tract was
called Stewards Ice Box" after
Secretary of State Seward who
was largely responsible for the
purchase. The United States
gave it the name Alaska--a cor
ruption of the native Al-ay-
eska, meaning "a great coun-
try" The inhabitants number
ed a few hundred whites and a
few thousand natives. There
were no roads. Commerce was
confined &c fishing and sealing.
to the extent of 100000 year.
The people laughed, but Secre-
tary Seward died with the pre-
diction that another generation
would say the purchase of
Alaska was the greatest ae-
eomplishment of his admins
tration.

600 passengers and 1900 cars OF freight
