Story of a Bunch of Keys.

After Mary, queen Of Scots, had sue
ceeded in effecting her escape from the
grim old fortress Of Lochleven her de-
liverer, William Douglas, threw the
keys which had brought her her free
dom into the waters of the lake. There
they lay till the parching summer of
1905, when a boy named William
Honeyman, while strolling on it's
banks, picked up a bunch Of five keys
of antique workmanship fastened by
an iron ring. These the boy carried
to the parish schoolmaster, who for
warded them to the Earl Of Morton.
hereditary keeper of Lochleven castle,
near Edinburgh, where they still re-
main. They are without doubt the
old keys which William Douglas threw
into the loch on the eventful night
when the queen escaped, only to be
taken again and consigned to life long
captivity.

MONEY loaners can always dictate
terms. British bankers ought to be
plainly told that not cent of Ameri-
can money would be loaned unless their
prize courts quit confscating our ship
ments to foreign ports. Probably the
quickest way to end the European war
would be to cease supplying all beliger-
ants with the sinews of war, In mum
lions, food stuffs and financial aid. DO
this and our neutrality cannot be ques-
toned The impression in financial cir
cles is that England has enough money
and convertible securities to pay its
bills, but prefers to have America
finance the war so it can husband its
resources in its fierce competition
against American industries that will
follow the ending of the war.

WHILE Great Britain's financial en-
voys are here to prop up their nation 8
credit. the idea is put forth that as
England is the buyer it is for the vend-
or (America) to see that the loan mar
ket is kept stable. The most impor-
tant coin in the world today is not the
sovereign but the dollar, and the real
significance of the monetary situation
is that the seat of financial power has
shifted from London to New York, with
every prospect of its staying here. This
means loss of prestige for England as
the central monetary power of the
world, in addition to the diminishing of
her influence through decrease of the
nations wealth. 1t is serious ques-
ton for England how to relieve this
situation, at least for the moment. Is
it possible for her to refrain from buy
ing war materials here? Surely not,
and if America stands squarely on the
Presidents declaration of real neutral
ity in his opposition nearly year ago
to the negotiation here of foreign war
loans, it will be found that America
now more than ever holds the key to
the European situation and can exert a
more powerful influence for peace than
has yet been dreamed of. The magni-
tude of this opportunity is not yet fully
understood.

THE consensus Of opinion at the re-
cent conference of governors was that
commissions, such as we have here,
tend to extravaganza and oppression.
No suggestion to this effect from any
source is now needed to convince the
people of our state that it is true, as
we have taken our lesson in the school
of experience, the only educational in
stitution that teaches lessons that lin
ger in memory's caverns long after the
teacher has passed away. Now, while
some of these commissions perform
useful functions, more of them do not.
Those that have demonstrated their
usefulness should be retained; all 9TH
ers should be wiped out

Great Age of HaIIey's Comet.

While Halley's comet has been iden-
titled as a member of our system for
over 1900 years, certain characteris-
tics of its orbit lead us to believe that
it has been with us at least ten or
a hundred times as long as that.
According to all accounts, it was a
magnificent object at the time of the
Norman conquest in 1865. Its head
was equal to the full moon in size.
and it's tail increased to a wonderful

ExTRAvAGANCE seems to be the mot
to of this age, especially in public af-
fairs, and until conscience takes firm
grip of the reins there'll be no letup.
1t is simply astonishing what money is
wasted through the appropriation pro-
cess. The taxpayer is the goat. 1t is
up to him to say how long he will stand
for it. There is too much of the IN
necessary. Idle service is drawing too
large a conversation.
