MIR. BRYAN PLAYED SAFE

Mr. Bryan, with characteristic caution, refused
to let woman embrace him. The spinster declar-
ing herself to be long lost cousin of the Secre-
tary of State, attempted to throw her arms around
his neck at the end of his speech in the Auditorium,
in Chicago yesterday, but the willy diplomat would
have'none of it, He caught her arms in his strong
hands and said emphatically and determinedly
something like this:
'No no, miss! 1t may be true, as you say, that
you are cousin Of the Bryans, but you cannot hug
me until the relationship is established" "
And then the square jaws of the Secretary closed
firmly
Lucky Bryan What narrow escape you had
Roosevelt, perhaps, would have taken chance,
but Mr. Bryan is not so reckless.
Perhaps the Secretary of State had in mind how
the political aspirations of one Richmond Pearson
Hobson were shattered by policy of indiscrimi-
nate kissing which made him look ridiculous in the
eyes of the great electorate. Perhaps the Secre-
tary Of State has political aspirations for 1916.
Perhaps he is willing to run again for President
of the United States and that being the case,
mustn't one be cautiousg
Well done, William, you have played safe!

The Last Surveyor General

The late General Robert b. Beath,
who died in Philadelphia and was
buried last Saturday, was the last man
to hold the position of Surveyor Cen
eral in Pennsylvania. He was elected in
1871 and served until 1875, the office
in the meantime being merged with the
Bureau of Statistics into the new De-
partment of Internal Affairs. General
Beath was a gallant soldier. He served

MARK TWAIN THE MASTER HUMoRIsT

To-day is the birthday of Mark Twain 1t is
not being celebrated. 1t is remembered perhaps
only by the master humOrist's most ardent admir-
Yet it is day which might well call forth
some slight tokens of esteem for "the Lincoln of
our literature
Seventy-nine years ago to-day Mark Twain en-
tered the world which he has wonderfully bright
ened. He subsequently looked back upon his birth
as quite important event, since his arrival in
the small Missouri town of hundred inhabitants
increased the population per cent. That was
his way of looking at it. The fact of the matter is
that the entire world has gained for his having
been in it,-gained far beyond any computations
by percentages of population.
Although three of Mark Twain s best books have
their scene in the Mississippi valley the versatile
author not rooted to a locality as is too often
the with average novelists. His first scene was
Palestine, in "The Innocents Abroad and subse-
quently he extended his territory very rapidly.
There is a broadness in more ways than one
throughout all of his works, which are for
tunate posterity's certain heritage. As humorist
he is best known, yet it is, to some extent as a
humanist that he deserves his high rank The
philosopher in some respects surpasses the funster
Mark Twain is not to take his chief place in the
worlds regard with Artemus Ward Josh Billings
and Mr.. Dooley He is rather of the make Of Ger
vantes, Mohere and Lamb He, with Irving and
Lowell, represents the richness Of American humor
and gives this country place in that department
of the world of letters of which it can be Justly
proud
Born seventy-nine years ago under HALEY Is
comet, Mark Twain died four years ago, by an ot.l
coincidence, when the comet made its next appear
ance in the sky.
His works live and are ever growing in popular
ity He will be forgotten when Tom Sawyer s white
washing contract ceases to be comical; when Mul-
berry Sellers remarks about turnips become trite /;
when Huckleberry Firms life story has no pathos;
when the diaries of Adam and Eve are no longer
interesting, and when the tale of Joan of Are has
no vigor. He will be forgotten then,-and only
then.

OXYGEN GAS
The Value of the Rev. Joseph Priest
ley's Momentous Discovery

Oxygen was discovered in the wear
1774. Joseph Priestley, dissenting
English clergyman who had turned
scientist, obtained the hitherto un-
known gas by igniting mercuric oxide.
The oxygen he thus produced he called
t" dephlogisticated air.
He and Benjamin Franklin had often
discussed the mysterious composition
of air and water. No one up to that
time had determined what element it
was in both which SO invigorated the
physical energies of man. 1t is said
that Priestley made his actual discovery
of the oxygen while experimenting in
a brewery near his home in England.
He spent the last ten years of his life
in the United States, voluntary exile.
To-day monument stands in Eng.
land to commemorate Priestley's dis,
covery. Were he alive, he could read
OF thousands of lives saved by his
work. Oxygen is the only gas capable
of supporting respiration, and is re-
peatedly used in the sick chamber to
pull patient through crisis. Hell.
NETS equipped with oxygen attach
ments. enable the sdiver to go to ocean
depths, the aviator to ascend into rari-
he'd air, the fireman to stand in dense
smoke, and rescuers to descend into
gas filled mines. So wide are its uses
that some 100000 cubic feet of this
gas are bottled in the United States
every year.-New York Post.

WAR LACKS ESTABLISHED LAWS

= War knows no laws, it would SEEM On the prin-
cple that Calls fair fighting has been carried on
in all sorts Of unrestricted ways, despite efforts at
international legislation. In the present conflict it
is evident that each contending nation is law
unto itself.
The alleged seizure recently by British naval
forces of neutral merchant vessels for the purpose
of taking German subjects found thereon as pris
oners of war, provides an example of the i'm
potency of such socalled international laws as
exist, when they are put to the test they are now
being put to.
The German government complained about Great
Britain S actions, the basis of the Declaration of
London The attitude of the United States gov
ernmept of course, was that since some of the
powers now engaged in war had not ratified the
Declaration of London in 1909, this country could
not longer recognize that declaration as a code of
naval warfare, deciding to rest it's position on
traditional American policy
Its own traditional policy is all that any country,
conending or neutral can rely upon as the founda-
ton of its plans the justification of its actions
so long international law is not regarded as
abiding law. International law cannot be regarded
as such until it can be established by unanimous
agreement OF nations administered by duly au-

space. Then the question arose. Can
nebulae be stars in formation when
their speed is even greater than the
oldest starsa
The astronomers began to doubt the
old theory. Some years of hard work
at Mount Hamilton and at the Univer-
sity observatory in Chile were requr-
ed. Now the velocities of forty nebu-
lac are accurately known. The incred-
ible speed of these nebulae suggests
that they are older, not younger, than
the stars. 1t is possible that they are
disintegrated stars and not stars in
the making at all.
The director of the Lick observatory
says: "The effect upon our ideas of the
connection existing between planeta-
ry nebulae and the stars is revolution
ary. Apparently the stars have been
evolved from planetary nebulae.
"What, then, are the nebulae if they
are not star stuff That is what the as
tronomers at Lick have set themselves
to determine. Exchange.

ILLINOIS ONE-MAN SENATE

The state of Illinois has practically one-man
Senate, and the one man is a Bull Mooser.
Senator George w. Harris was not elected this
Fall He is hold-over and he is the only repre-
sentative of the Progressive party who has seat
in the upper branch of the Illinois Legislature By
strange accident or, perhaps, by an act OF Provi-
dence the rest OF the Senate is equally divided
between the other two parties, there being twenty
five Republicans and twenty-five Democrats. That
means that on all strictly party measures to be
voted on the lone Bull Mooser will have the decid-
ing ballot.
In other words Senator Harris, by his own vote,
can pass kill every bill that comes before the
Senate with unbroken party backing The crcum-
stance of his odd position makes him practically the
law-maker for the whole of the important state of
Illinois Naturally both parties already curry
ing the favor of Senator Harris. He is being ban
quetted and fattered and he can dictate the ap-
pointment of practically any official whose con-
frmation depends the action of the Senate.
But wisely Senator Harris thus far has given no
indication that he will side either with the Demo-
Gratis or the Republicans What he should do is
maintain an independent attitude. Perhaps he is
enjoying the situation and will keep both sides on
pins and needles throughout the whole session.
Doubtless great temptations will be cast in the
way of the Bull Mooser Senator to win his support
for measures of one or the other of the leading
parties, but if he let's his conscience and ntelli-
gence govern his vote he maintain a position
of great power and of great good in the state of
Illinois Moreover, if he has any sense of humor
he can at the same time enjoy himself immensely.
Illinois and for that matter, the whole country
will watch the course of Senator Harris with
great deal of interest and will expect him to make
good" as>a strictly independent law-maker
