WILSON'S MESSAGE.

When comes to read the trust message OF
President Wilson, delivered to congress yester
day, inevitably there rises to mind comparison
between that message and those of former
chief executive dealing with the same subject
q comparison which is not altogether favorable
to distinguished citizen now travelling in for,
eign lands
There is nothing soul stirring in that mes
sage read yesterday. 1t is entirely lacking In
thrills. except possibly to a few individuals who
have grown wealthy by deliberate violations of
the law and who on hearing 1t experienced pre-.
moriition that such violations In the future
may bring prison stripes and iron bars rather
than broadcloth and palatial residences The
minds eye beholds no excitable person with
eyeglasses, mounting vain threats to the ac-
compartment Of remarkable facial distortions
The imagination does not hear the swish of
the descending big stick and legitimate bust
ness and innocent business men do not COVER
in fright beside illegal monopoly and national
crooks.
Yet It is no mollycoddle message that was
heard yesterday In the halls of congress and
that Is read by thousands this morning. 1t is
lacking In thrills but It is not lacking In the
quiet power OF a quietly powerful man. 1t
causes no shvers to descend the spine. but it
quickens the action of the brain. 1t arouses
no fears, but galvanizes the mind, appeals to
patriotic impulse and puts the men at the
helm of business upon their honor. To every
noble sentiment and not 10 a single one of base
M 81 tie md Al
stronger than the base and AS the good and
patriotic are more numerous than the wicked
and unpatriotic, 1t will accomplish good.
carry with 1t more force and result In more
and better action than any philippe ever ema-
mating from the White House during the seven
years of uncertainty and anxiety.
President Wilson's message Is. In short. one
contains offers Of cooperation in an effort SO
TO amend the Sherman antitrust law as to
substitute certainty for uncertainty. In offering
TO cooperate, however, President Wilson lays
down certain definite rules which must be OBJ
served. He insists that the cooperation shall
be brought about In good faith on both sides
and to that end gives definitely and with the
emphasis OF clarity what he thinks should be
done Those who have come to know Woodrow
Wilson know that the rules must be observed
or the partnership of action is automatically
dissolved
1t is a message which, while admitting that
laws haze been and s-an now be violated unin~
tentionally, provides the means for making those
laws 80 cfezr that ~AeH enacted there shall be
no longer an excuse. and provides punishment

The Folks of Virginia.

In Virginia land, the virgin land.
Where ! vas born YOU aGaderStaRd-
Ii is a haven of folks worth While.

When there YOU go you're bound to find
Folks of peace and sacred minds.

Folks there saw "Live-let others live.
table spread you're sure to find.
With leavened bread and rarest wine,
hostess and a host sincere
That makes OF you a comrade dear.
Their manners may be old and quaint,
And barn and fence be lack of paint,
But in the hearts of all you'll find
The well wish to all fellowkind
So II some time to chance to stray
Down South in Old Virginia way
Drop in and spend a while with me
Enjoy our hospitality.
Our rooms are not the like Of yours,
With gifted walls and cushioned floors,
The seeming home of spriteful fairies,
But all our rooms are large and airy.
SO think Of me when you come South.
III please your eyes and ears and mouth.
For never has your echoes rang
With sure 'nough real melodlous songs.
Good bye, friend you've treated me fine
Took me to theaters, then out to dine;
But real joys you'll ne'er understand
Till you visit us in Dixieland.

How Absinth Is Made.

An old Moor to whom Il trader tried to explain the tyrannous nature of the order forbldding the sale of absinth In Morocco took n wholly unexpected at- titude.
 "Absinth." he said, "is an invention Of the evil one. On its roots he pours the blood of peacock; then when tho leaves begin to grow he sprinkles them with the blood of monkey; then he dips the stalks In the blood of a bear: lnstly he mingles with the juice of the plant the blood of a pig.
 "So that when the faithful drinks nbsinth at the first glass his appetite awakes, and he arises proud as pea cock: at the second glass he becomes excited and gesticulates like a monkey; at the third he becomes quarrelsonla and spiteful, like bear; at the fourth he becomes besotted and falls to the earth and rolls like hog in the mire, May Allah protect us, the order ia ri2ht."-New York Times.

The Intelligent Nov conner.

Ne are credibly informed that Eng llshmen are the greatest tolonfzers ip the world, the greatest Sportsmen In the world nnd the greatest outdoor t-s'- pie in the world Snn!etineS. out in the newer parts Of Canada. people ue will ing to argue that. A western bishop hired n new come Englishmnn to cook, as he was the only one In the party who could not cook, and cautioned him to he sure Ia wash the meat before cook ing it. He did-with soan.
 1t was m Englishman not yet across the water who wrote to find out about the proper outfit for Canada and who inquired whether moccasins or snow shoes were regarded as the warmer for footwear.
 It was an Englishman on the Athn- basca river who bored a hole in n float Ing scow to let the water out. And yet another Englishman, when asked to set q watermark at night to determine whether or not the river was rising, carefully made n mark at the water line on the side of Il floating boat.
 On the whole, there seems 10 be great difference between colonizers and colonists. Evening Post

ltaly'a Deep Blue Skies.

The sky of Italy Is noted for It's clearness. The blue Is deeper not be- cause the dust there is finer than in the northern countries. but because in the countries of the north, due to the greater coolness of the air, the vapor more readily condenses upon the dust particles. The dust particles thus become larger and consequently not 10 effective In turning back the blue rays alone. but others are also reflected. and a grayish effect is pro- duced. Tn single location the blue of the sky may appear bluer at one time than another. The sky is often times said to be very blue when some white cumulus clouds are outlined against 1t. The sky is then n deep blue by contrast with the brilliant white. After shower, when the lower stratum of air is washed of its coarse dust particles, a deeper and purer blue Is the result

Lord Mersey's Board ExOEar-
 ateS the Empress.

The report of the commission of in- Quiry into the sinking of the Empress was read at Quebec by Lord Mersey.
 Taking up the question of blame the report said:
 We think that Captain Kendall would have been better advised if he had given the Storstad a wider berth and had navigated his ship so as to have passed the Storstad at greater distance on his beam than be original ly intended.
 We do not think. however. that his stopping. which was really done for greater caution. can be said to have been an unseamanlike act. nor do we consider his failure to give the wider disaster.
 The commission is unable to accept the view that 1t was done to counter act the effect of a current and as an act of prudent navigation"
 We are of the opinion" the report proceeds. that Chief Officer Tufteness of the Storstad was negligent in omit ting to call the captain when the fog was coming on. The captain is the man who ought to have been there. Mir. Tufteness says that he thought < there was no danger. therefore 1t did not matter. He was wrong. There was danger. and anyway it was his duty to obey the order which he re- ceived to call the captain when the fog came on"

As is we'll known to most readers. the north star marks the point in the skies toward which the axes tpolesl of the earth point. But the poles have another motion called "precessionT (much like the secondary motion of q spinning topl, by which the ever chang. ing poles describe big circle in the sky. reaching from the present north star across to Vega. 1t requires over 25.O0o years to complete that circle. and during that time numerous stars will in turn inherit the title of north star.
