DIRE PENALTIES FOR ERRORS
dinates Who May Happen 70 Do
the Wrong Thing.

General Agliardi. the nephew Of a
cardinal has been put on the retired
list because, when captured by rebe, ;
with six other officers, he surrender
his sword. He is the victim Of Il. !,
policy followed for fifteen years h
Italian rulers towards the masse j..
General Agliardi. who proved himself
a brave soldier in three wars anil
was promoted to be q general after
the Turkish war, cannot possibly
be suspected of cowardice, but thought
to interpret the policy Of the gov-
ernment> by refraining from use
less resistance-it being . case OF
seven men against 500-which would
have led only to bloodshed with
graver complications.
His case is not isolated In italian
history. Crispi once endeavored to
conclude q modus vivendi between the
Quirinal and the Vatican. and
seemed about to succeed when. in
stead. the negotiations failed. The
duke Of Torlonia, then mayor OF
Rome. knowing nothing Of the latter
fact. and thinking to accomplish q
master-stroke, went to tho Cardinal
Vicar to present the felicitations OF
Rome on the occasion Of the birthday
Of the pope. Crispi dismissed him

Congressman Serene E. Payne
of New York died suddenly in
Washington last Thursday night.
Mr.. Payne had much to do in
shaping the last Republican tariff
act and thus gave it his name.
While that tariff may not have
been the best tariff law ever
framed, as President Taft once
spoke of it, it was incomparably
superior to the one the Demo
Gratis made to supplant it. The
Payne tariff was at once busi-
ness promoter and a revenue get
ter, and in this respect It stands
out with scintillating brilliancy
in contrast with the present tar.
tg lew. which is not capable Of
either OF these things. Mr..
Payne was . Hstandpattsr,'
which events have proven tt
mean that he steod for something
different in the way of nationa
prosperity, welfare and happi
ness than that which has beer
foisted upon the country by thes'
party that hiss held "stapdpat
tisn" mp to opprobrium.

Our "Neutrality." J"

The Presidents announce
ment that in his opinion the
spirit of neutrality would be
violated if submarines should be
constructed in this country for
the use of any of the warning
nations, may be welcomed as an
indication that the true meaning
of the word neutrality" has be-
gun to dawn on the persons re-
sponsible for the conduct of ma
tional affairs. Until quite recent
ly every move that might by any
means be construed as Of posi-
BILE advantage to Germany was
sure to be promptly squelched,
while the allies had but to intl-
mate a wish to have Washington
hasten to comply with it. This
subservlency on part of our Ad-
ministration called forth indig-
nation and disgust in German
American circles, and the sting
ing rebuke administered to the
Democracy in the November
election was largely due to this
cause, even the German-Ame
can press of Democratic leaning
having condemned the attitude
of Wilson, Bryan 1T al. in no un-
certain terms. The lesson seems
to have had the desired effect,
and if from now on our obliga-
tions to the various parties ia
the European conflict >hall be
more carefully weighed and
more conscientiously carried out,
this may be regarded as a
triumph achieved by the Ger
man-American voters.-St. Louis

In Belgium-Ard Here.

No doubt your farm does look
quite bad. my sad-eyed Belgian
friend. The German troops
took all you bad. and stood your
house on end; they hitched your
horses to their guns, chopped
off the heifer's neck. You say
they acted just like Huns, and
left your place wreck.
In spite of that, and even so,
though you have suffered much,
you have no corner on the woe,
and neither have the Dutch, for
I will show you, my good guest,
if you're inclined to doubt, a
scene here in this peaceful West
to make you eyes stick out. !
You see this farm without a
speck of paint upon the house
which stands, a aguant and sreu-
some wreck, unit for man and
mouse? The barn, you see. leans
all awry, the windmill hangs its

rod and q clasp knife was the expert
enoe Of William Mag, clerk in the

gan to shape the crude harpoon. A
few minutes later the shark appeared
less than twenty feet away. Mag
threw the harpoon. The shark leaped
from the water and then headed for

desperately and pulled out Of danger.
Then began a struggle that continued
for q quarter of an hour. The shark
finally died from loss of blood. The

Bargains as Long as the Goods Last
ABRAHAM NAJIM,1P 1P9I9s! No

There is a good deal of discus.
sion just now as to whether the
United States is prepared for
war. If we are in no better posi-
ton now in that respect than we
we're at the outset of the Spanish
war, we would make q poor show
ing indeed against a first-class
military power, and in view of
the advance in modern warfare
since that time, it is not very
probable that we are much bet
ter of in the means of waging q
successful war. Peace is q fine
thing and we hope we may never
see the day again when the Amer
lean people will be called upon to
break it; but when We are in dis
pute with another nation our
own inclination toward peace
must be subordinated to the 9TH
er fellows inclination to fight;
and when the other fellow is
ready to fight. we may take it for
granted that he is fully equiprsd
for it. That the United States
could be conquered and subject
ed to foreign rule il beside the
question. We would smother an
invading force in the course OF
time by sheer forceo of numbers,
but 1t would cost US dear before
we could do it without an equip
ment equal to that of the invad=
or. While it may look like fool
ishness to spend money for arms
while there is no probability o.
war, it is really no more foolish
than to spend money for fire in
surance on your house while
there is little probability of it
burning down, yet we insure
the house. Until I'll modern ma.
tions can agree on . policy OF
disarmament, we will have to
spend money on preparation for
war as insurance against damage
from the nation who may be
ready to fight US.

Suggests New Plan
For School Reading.

The public school is one of the
most wasteful institutions in the
state" says J. L. Merriam, pro.
fessor of school supervision at
the University of Missouri, at
Columbia. ITO illustrate this
waste, take the buying of school
books. When a class of thirty
runs out of reading matter the
parents pay $40 for thirty new
books, all alike. They have only
120 pages of new reading mate
rial. That class had better been
supplied with different books
which would give the pupils thir-
ty times the amount of reading
they are now getting in a large
percentage of schools"
Professor Merriam says that
reading is more efficiently taught
from different readers than when
each pupil has read the story two
or three times. Theae is no
chance for the pupil to become
interested in what another pupil
is reading if the story is stale to
him. Again, there is no incent-
i've to the reader to try to read
we'll when he knows that no
other pupil cares anything about
his reading.

individual, is q matter of condi-
tions rather than of theories.
President Wilson as a theorist
is a man to be respected. AS an
executive and IS pilot of the
Ship of State, he has been, dur
ing the two years of his incumb-
ency in Office, q failure.
There is something wholly be-
wildering in the fact that the In
dustrial status of the Nation has
steadily gone from bad to worse
ever since President Taft left
Washington.
There is no question of parti-
san bias. of narrow strategic ar
gument, in the statement that
the administration must have
been at fault in this relation
ship.
The old argument that Repub-
lican capitalists may always put
al kinds of obstacles in the way
of the SUCCESS of q Democratic
president ;s a childish one. All
capitalists are not Republicans.
Many of them are not politicians
at all, to any considerable ex-
tent. And those among them
who are not diseased with polit-
ical affairs would be quick enough
to seize the opportunity to for
ward their own enterprises, if
there we're any merely strategic
motive on the part of other man
ufacturers and men of large aetiv-
tiles, who. according to the pue-
rile charge, put on the brakes
when to do so means the dis
orediting of q political party.
The Presidents message man,
ifests q lack Of assurance, of con-
fidence, of definiteness. 1t may
easily be seen that it's author
realizes that no amount of excel
lent theorising can be set against
the fact that the Nation is in dis
tress-and at a time when no
natural causes are to be suggest

Law school students are contem-
plating a new departure in their social
and musical life. Plans are under
discussion for organizing a Glee Club,
which will also include members who
will stage ludicrous mock trial as a
part of the entertainment. AS leaders
in this project. the students are rely
ing upon Horace Eaton, a member of
the first year class and a Bowdoin
graduate, who was leader of the Glee
Club at Bowdoin last year, and Norris
Stevens, who played piano with the
Colby Glee Club last year. There are
enough voices of merit in the school
to make a Glee Club possible, also
men who can play stringed instru-
ments.
The Mock Court, which is an annual
feature of life at the University, will
be revived once more. A committee
has been appointed consisting of Ray
mond 7. Woolson from the Senior
class and William N. Rogers from the
first year class to act as leaders. They
will confer with the leaders of the law
firms involved. The Dirigo Advocates,
headed by c. B. Frost, and the Pine
Tree Barristers, headed by Franz u.
Burkett, in drawing up cases and ar
ranging dates. The first trial will be
held about Dec. 4 and will probably

Since the Kern Packing Company's

Portland has been without a plant
capable of slaughtering food animals
for interstate shipment. and the only
plant under such supervision being
the Penley establishment at Auburn.
