VICTOR Hueo's VISION.

A day comes when you, France you, Russia--you, Italy-you, England you, Germany-all you nations of the continent shall without losing your dis tinctive qualities and your glorious in- dividuality blend in higher unity and form European fraternity. as Nor Alsace, all the French provinces, blended into France. A day will come when war shall seem as impossible be- tween Paris and London, between Pet rograd and Berlin, as between Rouen and Amiens, as between Boston and Philadelphia.
 day will come when bullets and bomb shall be replaced by ballots, by the universal suffrage of the people, by the sacred arbitrament of a great sov- ereign senate, which shall be to Europe what the parliament is to England, the diet to Germany, the legislative assem- bly to France. A day will come when a cannon shall be exhibited in our mu- seums as an instrument of torture is now and men shall marvel that such things could be.
 A day will come when We shall see those two immense groups, the United States of America and the United States of Europe in face of each other extending hand to hand over the ocean, exchanging their products, their commerce, their industry. their art; their genius clearing the earth. coloniz- ing deserts and ameliorating creation.
 To you I appeal, French, English Germans, Slavs, Russians. Europeans, Americans, what have We to do to has, ten the coming of the great day?
 Love one another.

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 2s, 1915.

Although the automatic phrase The average Britisher loves a Lord has long been accepted as maxim with re- spect to the English fondness forI titles, recent development in the House of Commons suggests that there is strong hope that the British are fast approaching the day when such petty human garnishments as hereditary titles will be looked upon as hind rance to the individual rather than mark of honor. This somewhat as
 tonishing development is indicated not only in a growing disregard of the pre- negatives of titled individuals on the part of the socalled flower classes" whose failure to observe the conven- tions with respect to the sanctity sup posed to surround the wearer of title, has so shocked the middle and upper class during the past few years. but is also still clearer disclosed by the fact that a MrPonsonby, Liberal member from Stirling Burghs, and who, ac- cording to a leading Toronto paper, was himself cradled in the atmosphere of the Court, very gravely, as was doubtless natural in the face of such astounding termity, introduced a bill into the House of Commons to abolish hereditary titles in Great Britain. In support of his measure Mr. Ponsonby produced a combination of arguments based upon the extremely logical ground that titles were more or less of a detriment to the individual and were also the incentive for most dis guessing toadyism on the part of the masses generally. How the rank and file of this sedate legislative body man. aged to survive the shock of such blasphemy is passing strange but that they listened in silence to the further statements of MT. Ponsonby relating that titles only accentuated undesirable class distinctions and were the main cause of what he termed the unfath- omable snobbishness, sycophancy and funkeyi9m of British social life" is al- most ncomprehensble. After delivering
 himself of further unsanctified remarks along the same lines, the speaker then
 proceeded to point out where the title
The Nome daily nugget., 1915-08-28

bearer himself was the hopeless victim of circumstances which permitted of no deviation from an accepted order of things which were far from conducive to the best interests of the individual. A title was really chain binding the wearer to certain fixed course of ex istenee and permitting of little lndivid ual expression. Most men were quite freet choose their own profession or occupation. There was only one man who was not so free and that was the eldest son of a peer for whom there was no outlook in life, but to become peer himself This state of affairs, MT Ponsonby submitted, was anything but desirable as the custom of the day or dained that the average title bearer dare not attempt to he anything but a peer without risking a loss of caste. This was not only hard on the indi- suited in stifling the best of his in herent qualities. From the standpoint of the national welfare there was noth- ing so undesirable as the heriditary principle as applied to legislation, said Mr Ponsonby, and he was sure that his
 colleagues were all agreed that the
 system of maintaining a body of here
 ditarv legislators was anything but
 conducive to the best interests of the
 empire and therefore it was surely de-
 sirable that the peer title should be al- lowed to lapse. MT Ponsonby and his
 hearers both survived and his memor-
 able document passed the first reading ] all of which indicates conclusively
 that England is commencing to see the light.

THE LEX TALONIS.

This is the Lex Talonis
 Decreed by Him on high That he who smites, shall be smtten That he who slays-shall die; That limb for a limb shall be given That an eye shall pay for an eye This is the Lex Talonis
 This is the ancient law: To which is the law of the Persian, And the Median plot and straw; And the guilty are sorely troubled,
 And the innocent stand in awe. Harken ye tribes and nations,
 This is the law of the breed; That he who strikes shall be stricken
 That he who wounds shall bleed; Let not my words be wasted,
 But him that hears give heed. This is the Lex Talonis
 The rigid, the primal law; The source whence those who have suf-
 fered,
 Their inspirations draw, And measure the retribution
 While the wrong is red and raw. Creedists and priests may wrangle
 And scoffists doubt or disdain; But the truth itself has discovered
 Over and over again: The scoffer is kin to the slayer,
 And the slayer is heir to Cain. This is the law of Talonis
 Long as the tides shall flow: Will word for word be given, And blow respond to blow; For iron sharpeneth iron, As it did in the long ago. Grimly it fronts the creature,
 Written in red it stands; Linking the past and the present, With strange invisible strands; And wise is he who needs it,
 And fully understands. Churches and state may wrangle.
 Laymen and priests dispute; But deep in the heart of the creature
 The sense of right has root; And wrong in it's proper season,
 Will bear it's final fruit. This IS the Lex Talonis

HARVEY AND THE BLOOD.

It was while studying at Padua un-
 der a professor who had discovered the valves in the veins that Harvey discovered the circulation of the blood.
 He was curious to know what these valves were for and, finding that they all pointed in the same direction, he
 could think of no reason for their ex- istence unless it might be to prevent the blood from flowing backward.
 Placing a ligature on his arm, he found that one set of vessels, the ar teries. became distended with blood on the side nearest to the heart while the veins became distended with blood on the side farthest from the heart This to him meant only that the blood flowed from the heart through the ar teries and back to the heart through the veins. It also explained the beat ing of the heart and the throbbing of the pulse.
 But the medical and surgical world received this epoch making discovery with scorn. Harvey published a book on his discovery. and his practice fell off considerably. Doctors scoffed, and the public looked on him as crank. It was a quarter of a century after the book appeared before the discovery was accepted by the learned men of the world.

time I had been standing there with my
head down kicking myself to think
that we had lost the game. 1 had no
other thought And it Is q remarkable
thing for in all my playing / never re-

with my head down. When 1 was on
the Cubs I used always to be calling
out Heads up to the other players. 1t
was a favOrite phrase of mine, and 1
acted on 1t myself. My attitude always
was to keep my head up and fighting
till il was all over. And I am sore 10
think that I should pick out such an
occasion as this to act contrary to my
lifetime custom and hang my head
while an extra runner was scoring. 1t
isn't very pleasant for me to think of,

play didn't cost the game, for we won

sat on the bench like a man stunned
or stricken with paralysis. I tried to
get him out of it by telling him,
Brace up so the young players won't
see you in the dumps But he didn't.
And then every man on the team came
over and tried to cheer him up. Never
mind, john, they said, the game ism t
over yet. Wen win yet and show
them. Even if the game is lost, what

fault, everybody slips up once in a
while And they fairly pulled him out
Of his pessimism by main strength.
It was a grand exhibition of team CO.

later in the game Evers was able to
help most effectuany in the scoring
and took a main part in pulling the
game out Of the fire after it had been
