MAKE IT CERTAIN.

There is 3 feeling among some that the decision which has been rendered by the United States district court of New Jersey in the case of the gov ernment against the United States Steel corporation should be allowed to rest where it is, This attitude would have no appeal taken to the United States supreme court because it is felt that justice has been done to bus mess and that under such a ruling as has been made by the court the best results are to be obtained by the bus mess interests of the country which have long been affected by the un- certainties created through attempts at regulation.
 Such being the case, and the decision well founded it is the best thing that can be done if the matter is carried to a f1nality. As it rests at present it is open to the claims that questions are involved on which the highest court in the land has not passed and there is no better time for this to be gotten out of the way than the pres ent. If that is the interpretation of the Sherman law in this connection which is to stand, or if it is a decision which cannot be sustained by the su- pfeIne court IL IS Well lo Ailo IL oot and settle the points for all time, and thus make the position of business all the more certain.
 Where such an important matter is involved it is well to pursue it to a conclusion and that in no way need be a reflection upon the district court. If that tribunal in the lengthy trial and consideration of the case has reached the right decision and the cor poration is a legal one, and not a monopoly because it is a big one, let it be definitely determined. The re- moval of any and all doubt ought to be accomplished without great delay.

AFFIDAvITs OF LITTLE WEIGHT.

From the indicated response which this country will make to the German reply slight, if any consideration is being paid to the affidavits which have been furnished the government in sup port of the German contention that the Lusitania carried guns concealed on it's decks ready for action.
 These af1idavits are wholly out weighed by the evidence which is in the possession of this country upon this very point. The Cunard line of ffcials declare that there was no equipment of that character aboard the liner either ready for action and concealed or carried as cargo. It is, of course, possible, that such a claim might be set up by representatives of this British ship, but reliance is not placed upon their statements in pre- senting the demands of this country. There was a responsibility which de- vo1ved upon American officials in con- nection with the LIsitania, its cargo and it's equipment which were care fully looked after. Under the diFec- tion of the collector of the port of New York there was a careful inspec- ton made of the Lusitania just be- fore it tsailed. Had there been any guns Sucn aS one oI the aHlQdVftS alleges just outside the Gloria" they would have been discovered by such inspectors, while had it been possible to see them from the dock as another declared the need of searching for anything of the kind would have been obviated. Two of the af1davits, how ever, nullify each other. for while one declares the guns were concealed be- hind partitions which could be re- moved, the other says they were in plain sight from the outside.
 Affidavits from unknowns carry lit tie weight in comparison with the statements of the custom authorities of the government who thoroughly understand the responsibilities which surround the faithful discharge of their duties and their statements.

DISPLAY YOUR CITIZENSHIP.

Good citizenship calls for every voter who is physically able to get to the polls today and vote. No one has a just right to criticise the conduct of municipal affairs who wilfully neglects to assume his own responsibilities in choosing the officials. The good citi- zen is not simply the man who is awake to the larger political move anents affecting him as an individual, his home, his district or his city. The good citizen has obligations which he must meet obligations to his neighbor as well as himself. and du- ties which he should discharge in his capacity as a voter and when the cit 9zen shirks these duties he becomes an indifferent and sometimes a harm ful citizen.
 The voter should do more than vote. He should vote intelligently and there by exert his influence as a useful member of society. Otherwise he is not a good citizen but the abettor of unsatisfactory government.
 The city election today like all others, is of much importance. It is not time to show indifference but a time to make it plain that the con- scientieus and efficient conduct of the various departments is demanded. It is a time when the best men should be selected for directing the important affairs which are involved in city gov ernment and get the best results from what is undertaken in the way of pub lie improvements.
 It was with such in mind that the candidates of the republican ticket were selected. They stand for the best in city government at all times and they should receive the rousing sup port of their fellow citizens. With every voter doing his part and vot- ing right they will be found to have been elected when the count is com pleted this afternoon.

TIE euLFLIeHT NOTE.

The reply of the German govern ment dealing specially with the case of the steamer Gulfight, while admit ting the responsibility and expressing the willingness to make proper recom- pense, does not contain the much de- sired and important assurance that such affairs will be avoided in the future. The torpedoing of the Gulf light by which three lives were lost, is attributed to an accident. It was sus- pected that it was a British vessel and upon that suspicion the attack was made. The important fact that 1t car ried an American flag was not estab- 1ished and no reasonable endeaver was made to determine the nationality of the vessel. Guesswork was the guide and American lives and property were thus made to suffer.
 The attitude which Germany has taken an regard to the case, and that which t indicates it will take con- cerning the Gushing is that which this country expected insofar as regrets and restitution are concerned, but what It is equally anxious about is the end Ing of such unjustifled and inhuman action. The explanation and indem- nifty might serve if only property was concerned, but where lives are taken this country cannot permit accounts to be balanced with money. It wants stop put to such practice. It wants Germany to be sure that it is giving The proper protection to American lives and property under its accepted responsibilities.

Especial to The Bulletin.)
 Washington. D. C., June 6.-HSan Marine, the worlds tiniest republic a vest pocket edition, has been brought into the war area by Italys declaration against Austria -Hungar." says the latest bulletin prepared by the Ma tional Geographic Society.
 San Marine, despite its midget pro portions, is the most venerable, the most persistent and enduring of Fe- publics. For it adds to its quality of being one of the smallest States in the world, that of being the oldest State in Europe. It has weathered vio- lent storms, storms threatening to eX- tinguish even its memory among men, by the score; and, today, the ancient midget republic is again on the fight ing line of a world conYulsion.
 San Marine is situated between the Italian provinces of Forli and Pesaro Urbino, in the north of Italy, near the Adriatic coast, within reach of big guns from the sea. It lies about 12 miles southwest of Rimini, an Italian coast city. and we'll within the zone exposed to hostile airship and aero plane attack. The republic has one town, which lies toward the coast, about 115 miles due south of Venice.
 ''The little State has an area of 32 square miles, and population of some 10000. Its territory is very hilly. mountainous in the neighborhood of it's city, where the None Titano, an offshoot of the Apennines, reaches the highest elevation in the republic, that of 2,650 feet. The city stands at the south of this precipitous rock, and is sheltered under the defenses of the mountain, whose three sumnaits are crowned by Notifications. These strong positions, like the Black Mountain of the Montenegrins, have played a signi- ficant part in the preservation of the republic through the centuries of war, anarchy, neighborly aggression, and hate of democracy that the small State has seen since the year 951, when it adopted ies republican form of govern ment. This government, with modifi- cations. is still in force today. The arms of San Marine are three peaks. each crowned with a tower. The shield is silver shield, and, besides the de- tended mountain peaks, displays the patron saint.
 "The climate is heaIthfuL Cattle raising and wine production are the chief occupations in the republic, while lace and embroidery working are a growing home industry. Many of the citizens of San Marine earn their live lihoods outside of the narrow limits of sons trade being the most popular. Some excellent stone earvers come from among this people. and marble figures form one of the exports.
 'The town of San Marine, which grows around it's mountain, is pro- tected by a wall, and shelters about 2,000 people. It contains the republic s parliament building. a fine type of public structure, much more preten-

NET TRIMMING STILL GOOD.

Nets are to be as good for trimming summer frocks of cotton as they have been for embellishing spring costumes of silk. Some of the style creators are presagins popularity for fichus, but their predictions are, as yet, unreal ized.
 'Tis doubtful if any utilization o1 net trimming will be smarter than the boxplaited ruching. Doubtful because no other utilization of net lends itsel1 so well to accentuation of the sea- sons silhouette.
 These ruch trimmings are used al the skirts hem, used in widths vary ing from two to eight inches. Used too, on tunics, on sleeves, on pep lums, at the neck outline.
 When the costume introduces g color as trimming for white these ruches have a buttonholed edge of the same color Buttonholing, by the way is enc of the seasons sInartest nee dlework touches.

PUTTING AWAY DRAPERIEs.

Never put the winter curtains away dirty. Have them laundered, but not starched, neatly folded and wrapped away in blue paper to keep them white, so that they will be all ready to put up in the autumn. Not only does it rot and stain the curtains to be put away dirty, but is often in convenient to have them done up In the fall when professional cleaners are busy and there is no opportunity of doing that sort of work at home when school clothes, housekeeping and general settling up makes all the confusion that can be put up with.
 There should be very little starch but in sash curtains at any time. They hang more gracefully and do not get so out of shape if they are un- starched. Muslin futed ruffles need a little starch, but the ordinary lace or net curtain dried on frame is better without any.

TO REMOVE STAINS.

Ink stains (freshly made)-Soak the stains at once in buttermilk.
 Paint can be removed from white material with paraffin oil; if a colored article, rub the part with turpentine.
 Coffee or tea stains-Pour boiling water immediately on the affected part and sprinkle with powdered borax.
 Iron mold-Place the stained part a basin of water and apply coating of salts of lemon.
 Wine or fruit stains-Sprinkle with common salt and pour boiling water through it. If this does not remove the stains apply borax.
 Grease-If on a colored material, well rub the part with benzine, but take care when using it to have no fire around, as it is highly infamma- ble.

GLOVE CLEANER.

Women who wear light gloves, white kids, white or yellow ellamois, should adopt a policy of frequently cleaning toward them, instead of al lowing them to become very much soiled and then sending them to the cleaners. Many times after return ing home from a shopping tour or a call the gloves are but slightly soiled and yet too soiled to wear again. Perhaps they are but slightly spotted with dust, so slightly as not to war rant the expense and delay incident to sending them to a cleaners. If such is the case crumbIe up a few white breadcrumbs and rub the gloves well. You will be surprised to see how well it cleanses them.

I have discovered a satis- factory way to overcome this difficulty writes a contributor. When I see the first break come in the threads. I purchase some narrow torchon lace and stitch it on both edges of the ar ticie with the sewing machine. The broken threads are then cut away underneath, and the cover is as good as new.

Be it remembered the automobile in this war is more important than the machine gun. The fact that there have been DO decisive engagements is prob ably due more to the use of the auto and automobile tractor than to any thing else. They enable large bodies of troops to be moved instantly and supplies and artillery are hauled speed lily where horses would be impossible. Yet many consider it sinful to sell cartridges and rifles, while not say ing a word about the articles that have proven the most important fac tor in the war. The army to-day that lacks a full automobile outfit is at a
 most serious disadvantage. It might eoneeiKably run out of ammunition, and yet avoid capture, while without the automobile fleet surrender would
 be its unavoidable fate.-Bristol Press.

ence from greatly superior adversaries. When Italy went to war with Austria for her independence, San Marine de- clared it's neutrality with much the same consciousness of the importance of this manifesto as that felt by the powerful sister republic, the United States. in declaring its position in the present world struggle. Napoleon re- spected the independence of the little State and sentiment preserved the republic in 1S60-61-the Liliput of 1000 years survived independent in the midst of a united Italy"

It is often puzling to find out the lengthwise and crosswise of the ma terial. The warp threads run length wise and are the strongest. The wool threads run crosswise and form the selvage. They were originally the fill ing threads. You can distinguish be- tween them by pulling the material. A lengthwise thread tears with difficulty and stands out more clearly and ap- pears straighter than the crosswise or wool threads.
