the State an opportunity to express themselves
at the polls upon any legislation. whenever 1t
is evident that there is a great demand for the
opportunity to exercise the privilege of voting
upon such. legislation. Mr., Miller may iusis;
that th.s is & somewhat negative position. hut
The Fi~1snian considers 1t TO be sane and rea

the State thrown into the turmoil of cleo

Concerning the recall, The Vtrginidn must run

THEN AND NOW

Today the uperdreadnought Penn

cut as the ghnship America was 10
the converted East lndiaman, the Bon
homme Richard, in which Paul Jones
first made the American navy a power
on the sea. When the Bonhomme Rich
ard defeated the Scraps, the American
nation numbered less than 3,000,0 600
people. today it has more than thirty
times that number, but it has navy
ten thousand times as strong as its
little collection of warships in revo-
lutionary days. One of the smallest
gunboats today could sink the whole
fleet of brigs and schooners of 1776,
and possibly whip the whole British
navy of that day. A battleship like
the Pennsylvania could annihilate all
the navies of the world in the DAYS
of the revolution. The PENNSYLVANIA
cost over $14,O0O0OO, or enough to
build all the wooden warships of the
world in 1776. An hours broadside
from this superdreadnought would
cost more than it did to build the
first American battleship.

One hundred and thirty-three years
ago today the 74-gun line-of-battle ship
America was launched at Portsmouth
n. II. If the word had been in use,
this battleship would have been
known as Americas first dread
nought." 1t was built under the di-
rection OF Paul Jones, the famous ma
val hero of the revolution. When
Jones returned from Europe in 1871,
after his battle on the Bonhomme
Richard with the Scraps, congress
rendered him q vote of thanks, and
authorized him to go ahead and build
the America to drive the British from
our waters But it took time then. as
well as now, to build battleship, and
before the America was finished, the
war had ended Congress presented
the ship to France to Offset the loss
of the 74-gun French ship Magnifique
which had been destroyed in Boston
harbor. so the first -ofbattleship
the United States ever built never had
a chance to show its fighting strength
under the American flag.

HUSBAND MUST BE LOVER
TOO - WOMEN AGREE

Detroit Nov. 4.-llappiness in mar
ried life depends first of all upon the
ability of the husband to maintain as
ardent Il wooing after marriage as dur.
ing courtship. This is the opinion OF
100 Detroit wives expressed in letters
TO the Rev. Howard \. Field, pastor of
the Simpson NJ +. church. The let
ters were requested by Rev. Field and
the pastor based his sermon last
night The Ideal Husband upon them.
All agreed that the ideal husband must
be an ideal lover
Other necessary qualities of an idea
al husband in the order of their i'm.
portance were fixed as follows:
He must be a lover at home.
He must be Industrious even to the
extent of being willing to roll up his
sleeves and help tidy the house.
lie must be morally pure-there
can be no double standard of purity
He must treat his wife as an equal
not as a servant.
He must be temperate.

FIRM PLANNING TO ENLARGE
SOUTH TEXAS RANCH - MORE
HOGS TO RECoUP LOSSES TO
COTTON FARMERS.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 4.-T. w.
Barron of Armour & Co., East St
Louis, and Harry Benell of the same
firm at Fort Worth are organizing
a proposition to take over 1900
acre north Texas irrigated ranch to
enlarge their present hog ranch in
that section. r. w. Barron, who has
made a tour of the state, says:
Il hear hard times talk in every
section on account of cotton ex-
ceptine in the lower Rio Grande
valley. While business is not rush
ing in the valley | hear nothing Of
cotton as being the cause, and find
the farmers there optimistic. The
valley has harvested a G0-bushel corn
crop, and fall shipments of cabbage
and other vegetables are now being
made. They are all in the hog bus
mess and hogs are fat
after raising cotton in Texas
thirty years. | decided last De-
cember to quit cotton and raise hogs
We purchased fifty of the best Duroc
Jersey sows to he had. In less
than one year they have paid us 100
per cent and we now have 900 hogs
on our farm. ! have just checked
up our second crop of pigs and find
that forty sows averaged nine
pigs each, or 45O for the lot-which
is a record we think can not be
equaled for that number of sows in
one herd
81 originated a plan of renting
out sows on shares. the farmer
taking the SOW and giving me one
half the pigs at 8 months old. The
plan has worked fine and We are
now receiving many requests from
Texas commercial clubs about the
plan.
"When our company is organized,
we will take over the 500 Lagloria
irrigated ranch in our section and
raise feed. hogs, dairy products and
poultry That is what we thank of
hog in Texas, and It beats cotton
at 15c a pound"

CRIME is DECREASING
AS WAR PROGRESSES

London, Nov 1.-The patriotic
fervor over the war has touched the
souls Of even burglars, pickpockets
and strong arm men. London's po-
lice records prove it, for crime has
fallen off nearly 40 per cent since
the war began.
praise is due the criminals" said
Wallace, X. c., in addressing the
grand jury at the London sessions,
for the self-control they are ex-
ercising during this period of stress
and anxiety"
A well known social reformer, COM
menting upon this, attributes much
of crime to the ebullient animal spir-
its of youths brought up in wretched
surroundings. Defiance of law and
order offers them means to es-
cape from their dull drag environ
ment and to indulge in their pro-
pensities for romance and adventure
This they now prefer to seek at the
cannon's mouth. A cross of honor
or a corpora's stripes for valiant
service may reclaim many who have
heretofore been considered candi-
dates for the gallows.
The annual report of the prison
commissioners for the past year
show that there has been a general
decrease in crime all over Britain
Sentences to penal seryitude are
797 as against S71 in the preceding
year, while the imprsonments of all
classes are 1910, against 1882.
British reform, the substitution Of
kind and helpful treatment for the
harsh disciplinary methods of old,
and mercy for young offenders is
held responsible for the change.

a NATIONAL MACHINE.

This habit of going to Washington
for political Endorsements is going
to blow up in disgrace osme OF
these days. Mr.. Wilson and Mr.
BRYAN send letters of Endorsement all
over the country to different states
telling the people whom they desire
to have elected The principle is
wrong because it is building up a
national machine. 1t is just as easy
TO build up a national machine as it
is to build up a state machine in
politics. We are sincere in the be-
lief that both Mr. Wilson and Mr..
Bryan are anxious to surround them
selves with men who are in ac-
cord with their opinions, that they
might be able to bring greater things
to the nation. They are sincere
from standpoint of honesty and
good will to the people. But it is
the principle we object TO- A pre-
cedent like that will result in harm,
all presidents will not work in the
same unselhsh way and such pro-
cedure is only planting explosives
beneath the democratic party that
will in the end create a disturbance
by an explosion that will put the
party out of power.

GERMAN CRUISER MUST MOVE
United States Gives Geier Time to
Leave Honolulu Harbor.


Washington, Nov. 4.-The Japanese
embassy here was notified late today
by the state department that the Ger
man cruiser Geier, which has been at
Honolulu for more than two weeks
making repairs, has been given until
a certain date, not announced, either
to leave the port or to inferno during
the war.
The date is being kept secret be-
cause it would be contrary in such a
case to put the japanese cruisers "
ing in wait for the Geier outside Homo
lulu harbor in possession of the date
of her departure.
Two German officers and two en-
listed men from the Geier, who landed
some time ago in San Francisco, will
be interned in the United States.
The information to the japanese en-
bassy was the result of an informal
inquiry made of the department by
Counsellor Miura, who called on Act
ing Secretary Lansing II was said
that the inquiry was not in the nature
of a protest, although it has been
known for some time that Japan has
been anxious to have the case of the
Geier settled, because of the threaten
ed danger to Japanese shipping in the
Pacific.

WILSON'S FLAG GRAFTON.

President Wilson's tribute to the American flag has won the apprecia- tion of those who believe that the flag stands for dignified patriotism The sentiment expressed by him, as follows. should become as well fixed on the minds of the people as the Monroe doctrine:
 This flag is henceforth to stand for self-possession, for dignity. for the assertion of the right of one nation to serve the other nations of the world-an emblem that will not condescend to be used for purposes of aggression and self-aggrandize- ment; that is too great to be de- based by selfishness; that has vim dicated it's right to be honored by all nations of the world and feared by none who do righteousness.
 Commenting editorially upon the flag oration of President Wilson, the Ottawa Free Press says in part:
 "Woodrow Wilson's brief oration on the flag, it's uses, it's dignity, and it's meaning. is one of the most telling and inspiring things ever uttered by a man in the Presidential chair. It is a declaration that will live long after MT. Wilson has passed to his fathers. President Wilson's remarks should be appli- cable not only to the particular flag which he had in mind, but to all flags and. let us hope, most of all 10 our own revered Union Jack.
 Sometimes we have been inclin- ed to believe the man who most parades his flag, who waves it on any and every occasion, is among the least loyal to that flag. We get the suspicion that he is trying to hide something beneath the folds of his flag.
 "The best lover of the flag is he who regards it as too sacred to be lightly used, who attaches to it too much dignity and respect to permit it to be simply red rag to a bull
 President Wilson's oration on the flag might. with advantage to in ternational good will, be incorporated in the school readers of both the United States and Canada

SAN FRANclSCO'S FAIR.

Some people of Fairbanks have gained the opinion that the San Francisco exposition will not be held or will be postponed, on account of the war in Europe. While it can not be stated here with absolute certainty that the war will not alter the plans of the fair. it is not probable that the big show will be postponed.
 That the war will probably inter- fere with European exhibits and European attendance is probable, but, on the whole, the trouble in Europe may not materially harm the exposition. The war will stop the tourist traffic to Europe next year, and this will nearly all be directed to the exposition, it can be expected. Thus it is quite certain that even among Americans there will be a greater tendency to visit the exposition than if the war in Europe was not being waged.
 The exposition will still draw in terested people from all the coun- tries of the Western continent, from
