''I learned later that the cruiser was the Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse, which was sunk some time afterwards by the High1yer. MT.

 It developed that captain and super cargo both had their own ideas of where they were going and when the captain refused to obey the supercar- go's orders he held his course for Af- rica- This course was via Teneriffe. Then they stopped. The supercargo, baked and anger, told the captain to sail no further but lie to in the har- Dor. It was virtually the only order of the supercargo that was obe--c1.

and there is a general lack of
information concerning them.
Sometimes it has seemed to us
the motive actuating members
of the General Assembly in in
sisting on the passage of this or
that worthless law was not how
much good the commonwealth
would derive from it but rather
personal qualification and per-
haps the little prestige its enact
ment would afford the member
when he returned to his constit-
uents with the statement that he
was the author of the measure.
There are, as we have said, many
laws on the statute books which
we were better off without, and
we trust that the General AS
sembly of 1916 will have care
in passing legislation of doubt

Within two months the 1916
session of the General Assembly
of the State will be in session.
Perhaps we may be permitted a
word or two in expressing an
opinion as to what the body
should do, or, rather, what it
should not do. Our observation
is that no Statewide laws of i'm
portance are pending or are apt
to be introduced. Already there
are too many laws on the statute
books. Thomas Jefferson it was,
we believe, who said that the
least governed people are the
best governed. What the Sage of
of Monticello said in this connec-
is true today as it was n century
ago. For years it has seemed to
be the policy Of each succeeding
General Assembly to try to outdo
It's predecessor in the number of
laws passed. Many laws TO be
found in the statute books are of
trivial character and are more
honored in the breech than in
the observance. There exists
not few such laws which are
unknown to the people and in
consequence are violated daily.
There was no demand for them.

MIR. Bryan's Revolt.

Mr.. Bryan has thrown down
the gage at last and is in open
con fiict with President Wilson.
The long-looked for break has
come, the long expected chal-
lenge has been uttered. Mr..
Bryan has come now to the point
towards which in spite of his
denials, he has obviously been
heading since he resigned his
post as Secretary of State. He
is the declared leader of a faction
arrayed against Woodrow Will
son and has struck the first blow
in a political warfare having as
it's aim the defeat of the Presi-
dent.
There can be no misinterpre-
tation of Mr.. Bryan's challenge.
1t is a declaration of war. 1t
means that all the influence of
the Nebraskan will be employed
for the unhorsing of Mr.. Wilson.
The President is definitely and
finally committed to the specific
programme of preparedness
which he endorsed in his address
at the Manhattan Club. Mr..
Bryan emphatically, even We
hemently. has denounced that
programme as menace to our
peace and safety" and chal-
lenge to the spirit of Christi
anity. News and Courier.
