 1t was a perfunctory report telling of a merely perfHnctory incident. But the commander in chief, sitting at his ease in headquarters in Providence. stopped smoking for a moment. 'See that the news does not spread said he. "It might raise the country. Re ; enforce all patrols and warn them.''
 He wasI quick man. His officers were quick, and his system of commu- nication was quick But the news sped more quickly still. Over every telephone that was intact, over every telegraph wire that still worked in New England, by bicycle, on horse back, by men running, the story was passed from man to man and village to village.
 They were fourteen humble men, un- known beyond their own township, when they erOuched behind the stone wall. They were fourteen shining names before the ruins that covered them had ceased smoking. New Eng land, like a blazing forest, was ablaze with wrath and fury.
 Vain was it now for cautious men to warn or authorities to command Men who never in tAseir lives had thought harm to any living thing dashed out with smoldering eyes to fight. Pru- dent men, who pever in their lives had acted on impulse, now acted without seconds pause fer rsAectien. Men who had cared all their lives only fer their own little affairs were all drunken now and thought it nothing to fire one shot for their country and die behind stone wall In the dirt.

For the good or evil side.
Judge Benton has decidei for Christ

Therefore. Madam President, l offer
the following resolution and request its
unanimous adoption:
Whereas, Judge J. NJ. Benton. candid
ate for the Democratic nomination for
Circuit Judge, has voluntarily included
in his platform those things which stand
for morality, Christianity, and the up
lift of any people; and
Whereas, His many other qualifica-
lions render his fitness for the office I'M
questionable, theref re, be it,
Resolved, That the members of the
local branch of the w. G T. U. heartily
endorse the candidacy of Judge J. NJ.
Benton in his race for Circuit Judge OF
the 18th Judicial District and lend their
prayers in duplication for his success
in both the August primary and the

ample, could say and do the things
that any man in England can do and
say without finding himself in JAIL
not to mention losing his head.
But because any British group
that wants to can raise a great row
over the way the war is conducted
just as it might raise it over the
way the church is managed or the
land is taxed or a public utility is
operated, when it thinks it ought to
be done some other way, is no sign
that the whole British people will
not stand at the back Of the govern
ment while it is beset by foreign
enemies. On the contrary, that is
just what the British do to a degree
indeed, the greater the row that is
raised about it by the hearty critics
at home, the stronger the degree in
which they do it.
The whole diplomatic policy, the
whole military policy, the whole
financial policy and every other
policy Of the British government
might be stumbling, even asinine;
but the British nation would be none
the less determined to fight this war
to a finish.
