Olu FoTI 6Tluge at LeaVenWorth.
The federal government has ordered
the removal of famous landmark of
the Missouri valley, the "Old Fort
bridge" the iron structure that
spanned the Missouri at Ft. Leaven-
worth, completed with much rejoicing
in the West almost half a century ago.
The bridge was one of the first to be
built in the valley, and the question
of its location was bitterly fought over
by the towns of that section, for a
bridge and the railway lines it brought
were strongly deciding factors in the
making of future metropolis. 1t was
the best built bridge in the West in
its day, and its span was high enough
to permit the passage of the steam,
boats that then piled on the river. In
its strange career of usefulness and
neglect, it had many owners, until it
finally passed entirely into the pos
session Of European capitalists. They
have lost their interest in it; army
engineers will dismantle this former
pride of the West, dynamite its piers
and sell the superstructure for old
| iron.

The phrase blue. .blooded mobiles"
originated in Spain, where light-com.
plexioned persons, whose veins nor
mally have blue appearance, claimed
pure descent from the old Spanish
stock without Jewish or Moorish ad-

application, like blue-noses as applied
to the inhabitants of Nova Scotia,
though some have thought the phrases
referred to the effects of cold weather.
The term blue has been made to serve
in a good many slang phrases, as
blue-stocking for literary woman;

Capt. Elias R. Monfort of Cincin-

chief of the Grand Army of the Re-

he was transferred to Company II.
Seventy-fifth Ohio volunteer infantry.
In May, 1862, he was elected to the
rank of first lieutenant, and in Janu-

reason of injuries received at Gettyy-

to his home on cot, he was mustered

Change From Year to Year.
The Dolomites are not the same
from year to year. The rock of which
they are composed is not as durable
as that which enters into the compo-
sition of our Rocky mountains and the
Alps. Each year the thousands of fan
tastic modelings are carved anew. The
strange Dolomite needles become
more pointed and longer, while knife.
like ridges run to sharper edges. The
"tusk," "obelisks," pyramids"
cathedral SPIRES" serrate teeth"
and etched walls disintegrate notice,
ably from year to year. Scattered
throughout their area are great fields
of broken stones, and deep streams of
eroded matter slope against their
higher walls.
Titan, the great master of colors
was born in this mountain region. His
birthplace was Campo di Soto or
Pieve di Cadors, At least, he spent
his boyhood in the latter village, once
the capital of a sturdy Dolomite re-
public, the republic Of CadSre, which
was founded 500 years before Amer
ica was discovered and which existed
for 500 years, losing it's liberty to no
less conQueror than Napoleon, who,
at the peace of Campo Formio in
1877, rearranged this part Of Europe.
The Latins and the Germans have
fought from time immemorial on the
Dolomites' cyclopean battle-ground. A
race of warriors grew up IN this Dor.
der land, and also, one might say a
race 6fpeasant aristocrats. There are
humble people here who can trace the
family parentage back unbrcken
through centuries and who treasure
ancient family documents signed by
ropes and emperors, doges and great
mobiles. Some of our sturdiest immi-
grants, Italian, German and Slav,
come from these mountain Businesses.
Few Of them remain, however, for
their wonderful mountain homeland
calls them irresistibly after they have
made their "stakSs."

FAvORS MONARCHY in CHINA

1t seems bit strange that citi-
zen of this great republic should de-
clare himself in favor of the restora-
tion of a monarchical form of govern
ment in country which only lately
has become republic, but that is
what DR.. Frank l.. Goodnow, presi-
dent of Johns Hopkins university, vir-
tually has done in the case of China.
For some time DR.. Goodnow has been
adviser to President Yuan Shih-kai
and recently he submitted to that
exalted individual a memorandum
concerning the best form of govern
ment for the Chinese.
Though not an unqualified adj
vocacy of the proposal to restore the
monarchy in China, the memorandum
is a historical and analytical review
of the progress Of the republican
movement throughout the world and,
an exposition of some of the reasons
why he believes that such form of
government is less suited to the pres
ent-day China than a monarchy Doc
tor Goodnow finds that governments i

succession of the supreme authority, al

borrowed from the popularity of the
magnificent Dolomite region surround
ing it, and its picturesque cluster OF
houses upon the great mountain thor.
oughfare that winds through it is well
known to many Americans who have
spent vacations scrambling through
the lesser mountains of the eastern
Alps.
The village shelters 1000 inhabi-
tants, fenced in among the mountains
1000 feet above the level of the sea.
In summer it has regularly been
crowded with visitors, coming from all
parts of the western hemisphere, and
so, though isolated from the world
about, it has considerable cosmopoli-
tanism in its makeup. In the immedi-
ate neighborhood of Cortina some of
the finest paths in the Dolomites can
be pursued. On the northeast of the
town rises the Cristallo group; to the
east is the Ire Croci saddle and Crepe
del; and to the north are Col Rosa,
Lavinores, Seekofel and Croda dell
Ancona.
Cortina is knot in the wonderful

BELIEVES IN CHICKENS

Representative Charles r. Davis
of Minnesota is a level-headed fellow
with few superstitious notions; but he
believes nearly everything he hears
on the subject of rearing chickens.
There is absolutely no doubt in the
mind of Davis that, with trifling in
vestment, a man could clean up not
less than $4,000 annually, out of the
chicken business, with practically no
work to do except count money.
Davis explains it plausibly enough.
You buy dozen or so hens and build
a few coops and roosts at trivial cost.
Every morning you go out with a lit.
tie sack containing some prepared
chicken food, such as one can buy at
any canary bird store, and call in
shrill tones: "Chick chick chick
chick!" like that, at the same time
scattering the Battle Creek-looking
food.

PATRIOTS FOR PROFIT

The real patriots of the United
States do not want war and are
strongly opposed to militarism, but
favor adequate preparedness for de-
Tense of the country in case it should
be attacked. The patriots for profit
do not want to fight themselves, but
advocate militarism and mighty
armies and nayies because it will
stimulate their business. These men
pose as champions Of their countrys
honor, but in reality they are lOoters
Of their country's treasury. An eX-
ample of their high-handed eXtOrtion
was cited by Congressman Clyde IL.
Tayenuer in a recent address. He
said:
Realizing that the government
was being Oyercharged for turbine
rotary drums, Secretary of the Navy
Daniels induced an independent Eng
lish firm to submit a bid. The Beth
lehem and Midyale companies bid
$l69,56S and $160,272, respectively,
while the English firm offered TO
furnish the drums for $57, say
ing of $1O2,S36 to the government
over the lowest bid of the ring.
Recently the secretary awarded
a contract for building 100 torpedo
TASKS, including heads. He induced
a new firm to slip in with bid, and
was able to purchase for S58,246 ma
terials which under normal condi-
tions would have cost $115,075. The
bids of the Bethlehem and Midvale
companies, under real competitive
bidding, showed a reduction of A per
cent as compared with bids for sim
liar forgings submitted by these COM
panies only four months previous"
If the goverlm ent should build Its
own naval vessels and manufacture
its own ammunition and war equip
ment, thereby eliminating the extor-
ton of these patriots for profit, there
would be a sudden cessation OF the
militarism propaganda.

CHILD ACTRESS Is VERY CLEVER

Daintiest and most delightful of
child actresses is Mimi Yvonne, who
appears as little Paul in "KreutZer
Sonata" at the Theatorium tonight
Mimi brings to the part, which is an
important one, all her wonderful
ability to portray the pathos OF a
child who lives life of neglect and
is regarded as little weed in his
home. Mimi will be recollected by
all theatre-goers as the baby in
Francis Wilson's most successful
farce, The Bachelors Baby Her
role in that play was as Important
as the stars, perhaps even more so.
Mimi is English and a staunch
little Ally. Her mother, Mrs. Maud
st. John, a distinguished English
actress, is on pins and needles all the
time because of Minis outspoken
and decidedly impolite public COM
ments on the kaiser AS Little
Peter, in Charles Frohman's Pass
ers By" the little actress made such
an impression on the great manager
that he termed her, in an interview,
the greatest little artist on the stage.
She could teach many grown up
actresses lessons in their art, he
added.
Mimi has had much experience in
motion pictures and is more in de-
mand than any other child actress.
Herbert Brenon, director of 'Kreut-
ger Sonata" says of her:
"She is without doubt the clever
est child actress in the world"

BELITTLING THE STATE coll
LEGE WILL NOT HELP THE
UNIVERSITY

The statements made before the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce by
Dr.. Henry Suzzallo, the new presf-
dent of the University OF Washing
ton, place that officer definitely in
the position Of belittling the State
College at Pullman. Dr. Suzzallo in
Spokane and elsewhere persistently
refers to the State College as an
agricultural college and with
broad generosity admits that there
Is room in the state for an "agricul-
tural college as we'll as for a uni
yersity.
IN newcomer that statement
might perhaps be accepted merely as
pardonable ignorance, but when
that newcomer has, after mature de-
liberation and investigation of the

oent OF the larger of them it is a
poor compliment to his ability to &C

Pullman, Wash, Friday, September "a, 1915

BY what right would the Uniyer-
sity deprive the State College OF
these courses? Would 1t be appro-
pirate, for instance, to remove the
states principal mining school TO a
portion OF the state which knows
only coal digging, when the State
College at Pullman is located at the
very doors of one of the richest pro
ducing mineral districts i'll the west?
1t Is to be regretted that Dr.. SUI
zallo has chosen to couple his cam
paign OF advertising for the State
University with one OF derogation OF
the character and purpose of the
State College. The people OF eastern
W ashIngton are proud OF the Uni
Yersity and are anxious to have its
usefulness increase. An increasing
number OF students from this part OF
the state are attending it from year
to year. They would like to work
with Dr.. Suzzallo in helping to build
up the school, but that purpose can
not be advanced by reyiying an old
fight against an institution whose
welfare is dear to the hearts of all
the people OF eastern Washington.
