 have been defiant of public opin- ion, and legislation has been in- voked to pratect the people from the arrogant attitude of being above the law and not subject to control.
 The bill was supported by the democratic administration, by the Democratic Congress and by Sena- tor Robinson, who voted for the bill. Senator Clarke not present when 1t reached a vote on its pas sage, but was paired with a repub- lican who was against 1t. If Old- field is to be condemned for his vote for the measure, then 1t means the repudiatien of Presi- dent Wilson. MT. Bryan, Secretary Lane and all the administration leaders in Congress, yet MT. Old fields attitude on the bill was en- dorsed personally by Mr. Bryan, who will reproduce in his paper, the Commoner, Mir. Oldfeld's re- marks on the measure. Any dis trict has the right to change it's Congressmen every two years, but the most of them permit their Congressman to serve for at least ten years, especially if their record IS Tn keeping with the platform upon which they are elected.
 MT. Oldfeld has kept faith with the people and has been true to every promise made by him. He is working in harmony with Presi- dent Wilson and the entire adm in- lstration at Washington want him returned because they know he is safe and sound, true to duty. and can be depended upon at all times.
 There IS not single good reas- on why the people should retire MT. Oldfield at this time, but there are any number of good, strong. logical reasons why he should be returned to congress.

PURITY IN ICE CREAM.

While much attention is being di- rected to the elimination of delete rious ingredients in foodstufs. it is timely action which is being taken by the city of Montclair, N. J.. in behalf of purity in ice cream. While this is an all the year round article of man. ufacture and consumption it's big sea son will soon open and it is important that it should come up to standard requirements, and it has been made obligatory in that city that none shall be sold which shows over a half mil lion bacteria to the cubic centimeter.
 Such is important health meas ure- The need and importance of milk inspection is generally recognized. It is not only a protection against inn pure milk, but 1t insures better milk. 1t inspires more care on the part of the producer and better article in ths result as many customers have reason to know. It is but natural that the same should apply to ice cream. Not only should the milk or cream pass inspection, but the other ingre- dients and the conditions under which it is made likewise be up to require ments. Adulteratons should be dis outraged in ice cream as in other things if it is a healthfuI and square deal which is being given and such interest in behalf of purity is neces- sary if 1t is to be obtained. It is a matter in which more cities could be- come interested with profit. When ever and wherever such a campaign Is started it is in the interest of the entire ice cream consuming public, which is no small part of city's pop ulation

TRUSTWORTHY VESSELS

The laundering of the steamer Charlemagn Tower, Jr., off the Jersey coast adds to the long list of coal car rying vessels which have been lost during the past few months and re- veals 8 disposition to place in this trade vessels of an unseaworthy char acter regardless of the weather condi- tions. Barges and col1iers have to a large extent replaced the sailing ves- sels but with the change should go the caution which is needed to give pro- lection to human life. Though there may be the disposition to take the risk with the cargo. 1t ought not to be that human life should receive no more consideration. The lost vessel had been out of commission for six years, underwent repairs before leaving port but the opening of the seams left the crew at the mercy of the clements in two small boats.
 The steam collier is the type of ves- sel which is looked upon to give re- lief to the dangers of the sea and it certainly affords many benefits in the way of speed. economical handling and resistance in time of storm to the big stickers or the powerless barges; but such is impossible unless it pos sesses stability. It is highly desirable that a safer and better form of vessel take tho place of the box-like coal barge, as 1t gradually is, but this is not being accomplished by the putting into use of such steam vessels as may be found cast up along the shores of the Thames. Nothing but seaworthy boats of whatever type should be per mttted to sail when human life hangs in the balance.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Preaching and Practice.


 Give not fig for a man that cannot preach better than he can practice.
 For all that is worth 8. mans preach ing is his ideals, and these. unless they are far beyond his practice, are of no value at all
 Every deed is a compromise between our vision and our tools, between the imaginary world cur souls conceive and the hard and stubborn actualities.
 Tristan and Isolde is wondroUs music, but 1t is only second class com pared to the harmonies that fled like clouds across the soul of it's composer. If We could but hear the music Wagner felt, tried to express but missed, 1t would break the worlds heart for sweetness.
 In one respect Michael Angelo is the greatest of plastic artists. in this, that in his work is seen the struggle of the imasing soul against it's necessary Limitations. He seems always striv- ing and failing, Yet in his failing short is more genius than in smaller mems smooth perfection.
 Our dreams are the best part of us God save us if We could only see the things that afe! It is the gift or seeing things as they might be that lifts us to gfea Jhess,
 In the acorn is the dream of the oak, and in the human race Is the dream of kingdom come, the golden year Cf justice and cooperation And as the oak gfews dream guided, so mankind gre~s slowly but with what unspeakahle majesty

BRAZiL'S REVOLT.

Prompt and probably effective meas ures have been taken in Brazil for the suppression Of the revolt, which, because Of the high position which that country holds among the South American re- ptIpfics, has caused more than pass ing attention. It is the last of Q string Of uprisinss which has caused no end of trouble and contributed greatly to the unsettled conditions in countries and island republics south of the United States While Brazil has a well established government and can boast of high state of civilization in cer- tain sections, there are others unfort- unately about which 1t would have lit tie to say.
