The effect of threat of wholesale arrests on-elec-

to discourage voters ignorant of their rights and

An arrest usually means ACKNOWLEDGMENT for the
election, as in every the arrested citizen is a
workingman who is unable to obtain bail If he is
unemployed and compelled to live In cheap lodging

Round the quick alarming drum
Saying Come
Freemen, come!
Ere your heritage be wasted said the understanding drum
Let me of my heart take counsel:
War is not of Life the sum;
Who shall stay and reap the harvest
When the autumn days shall come?
But the drum
Echoed, Come!
Death shall the drawer harvest said the

What it, mid the battles thunder,
Whstng shot and bursting bomb
When my brothers fall around me,
Should my heart grow cold and numb?

Answered, Come!
Better there in death united than in life recreantcome!
Thus they answered-hoping, fearing,
Some in faith, and doubling some,
Till trumpetvoice procamng
Said MY chosen people, COME

For great heart of the nation thobbng answered. Lord

WONDERS OF THE PARCEL POST.

The parcel post is doing wonders. The report by
the posmaster-general will show that hundred
millions of parcels have been handled during the past
year. and of these than three hundred millions
weighed more than pound. What an exhibit for the
in Congress who stood in the of the institu-
ton of the parcel post in the interest of the
companies! .,.,5ss. t
And this class of misrepresentation have since
opposed the extension of the parcel post system to
give the people the full benefit of it. This opposition
will be continued in the second session of Congress-
1t is asked that ffty-pound parcels may be sent for
all and hundredpound parcels for the first
two zones. The rates should also be reduced. The
only opposition must be inspired by express COM
pany interests. For many years these insidous in
fuences at Washington prevailed. Can they still
tinue prevail against the wishes of the whole Amer
lean people?

From the Louisville Courier journal.
News comes from London that An
thony J. Drexel. an American mill
lionaire. who has lived abroad for
twenty years, and his son, j. Arm
strong Drexel, will both be upon the
list of chauffeurs in the service of the
allies as soon as DreXel pere can get
TO the front. The younger man is
already serving under General
French.
Tod Sloan, who was not up to re-
auirements as soldier, because OF
his slight physique, became a chauf-
feur in the French army recently.
Different motives, perhaps, but not
necessarily, impel the former Ameri-
can jockey and the idle rich expa-
iriates to enlist as soldiers to be as
signed to duty as chauffeurs. Mr..
Sloan, erstwhile king OF jockeys, but
less prosperous nowadays than ne
formerly was, may be in need of en-
oloyment. The Drexels stand in no
such need, but have. no doubt, a
sporting interest in observing the
progress of the war.
A chauffeur will have as good an
opportunity to see fighting as will
come to anyone in military service.
His mileage" will be in his favor in
that respect as compared with the
more limited possibilities of the in
fantryman or cavalryman. He will
be exposed to about the same danger
OF death from insanitary conditions.
and will share with the common
soldier the risk of death in battle.

peal strongly to adventurous young
men II is rather surprising to find a

THE FERooITY OF THE BAYoNEr.

Berlin dispatch speaks of the savage character
of the fighting the western battle line, and says a
considerable number of the wounds inflicted with
the bayonet This fact is evidence enough of the kind
of fighting now daily and hourly going In France
and Belgium. 1t is not often that opposing forces
together with the bayonet for when determined
bayonet charges made either the attacking force
is intimidated by artillery cavalry the other
gives way, refusing to face the attack.
This true of battles long before modern artil-
lery was introduced In the present in Europe
most of the fighting has been done in trenches and
most of the casualties have been caused by shell
and machine guns When of men leave the
trenches, get out into the open and fight with the
bayonet, it is evidence that has reached its
utmost limit of ferocity

IT think that the manner in which
the gold mines of Bolivia, which were
concealed for many years, were dis
covered by an American miner was
one of the most romantic of the many
romances associated with the mining
of precious metals"
Horace G. Knowles made this state
ment to me a few hours before his
departure for Bolivia, early in No
vember. Mr.. Knowles was for some
years the United States minister to
Bolivia, and before he entered upon
that service he was United States
minister to Roumania. With the be-
ginning of President Wilson's ad-
ministration, Mr.. Knowles resigned
as minister to Bolivia and was i'm
mediately appointed by that govern
ment commissioner-gener for b.
livia at the Panama exposition at
San Francisco.
I'm the early part of my service
in Bolivia as minister continued
Mr.. Knowles, II occasionally made
inquiries of some of those in au-
thority in the Bolivian government
respecting the ancient gold mines OF
the country.
None of them was able to give
ne any information. Everybody in
authority in Bolivia knew that at
the time of Pizzaro the Spanish had
worked gold mines in Bolivia and had
taken out enormous quantities OF
gold which they sent to Spain.
about a hundred years ago there
was a revolution in Bolivia and it as
sumed such proportions that those
who were still operating, in crude.
primitive way, some Of the old gold
mines were frightened. They decided
to close the mines and thoroughly to
conceal the openings to them. They
did this work with consummate abil-
ity. They rolled stones up against the
openings of the mines, and SO did it
as to lead one to believe that the
stones had rolled there naturally from
the sides of the mountains. They also
made skillful use of brush and small
stones so that at last there was moth
ing to distinguish the openings to the
shafts of these mountains from the
general aspect of the mountain sides.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How the Gold Mines of Bolivia We're Redscovered

After the revolution was over and
peace was restored, many attempts
were made to discover the openings.
to these mines, but no one was able TO
point to any place which might justify
exploration. There was prospector,
Henry Bricker by name, who in his
boyhood was a playmate of ex-Sena-
tor Clark, who afterward became one
of the worlds greatest copper pro-
ducers. Mr.. Bricker was associated
with Clark in some of his mining I'M
dertakings in the far West The two
men were so intimate as to call one
another by their first names.
"Bricker was a natural-born pros
pector. He loved the work. He cared
less for the wealth that there might
be in any of his discoveries than in
the sense of success at having made
discoveries He went to Bolivia and
started out to find where these old
mines were located. He seemed to
have n scent for discovery of that
kind. He recognized instantly the
places where the old workers of these
mines had placed distractions to the
entrances, although In the course OK
many years these had become OVER
grown with brush and shrubs. He
poked among these Instructions
with his cane and in one instance dis
covered an opening just large enough
to permit him TO crawl into it. When
he was in. he was compelled to twist
his body like snake in order to crawl
through the opening, and after much
wriggling at last found himself In a
large chamber, and this was where
these ancient miners had worked.
"Bricker pointed out the places
where the dumps left by the miners
were placed and you could not put
your hand into these dumps without
finding that you had a fistful Of small
bits of quartz, all of which contained
free gold.
I'm this way the gold mines of Bo-

rediscovered so that gold mining upon

Academic Freedom.

Rochester Democrat
The November number of the At
lantic Monthly gives space to a paper
by Howard Crosby Warren on "Acad-
emic Freedom" which viii attract
much attention, inasmuch as it is a
labored effort to show that profess
sors in American universities are not
allowed the academic freedom of
teaching which prevails in German
universities. The essayist begins by
saying:
Freedom OF teaching, as scholars
understand the term, means control
of university education by the teach
ing profession itself, untrammeled by
outside interference. The university
teacher is a prophet of the truth. His
tenure of office should not be deter
mined by political, theological or
popular approval; but he should he
held accountable to his own calling.
The Atlantic writer bases his plea
for academic freedom frankly on the
assumption that university professors
constitute the scholarship of the
world, and that their conclusions re-
garding fundamental truth are with
out errancy. He then demands that
university professor be at liberty
to enunciate his conception of funda-
mental truth, with no overseeing au-
