Franklin died at the premature age
OF eighty-four Some Of his col
leagues were convinced that he was
thus early cut off by his foolish habit
Of exposing himself to drafts of air.
Some Of our esteemed readers have
become offended at our unseemly and
undignified language. II old Ben
Franklin were with us to-day we
imagine he would stir up many a
hornets nest for the long-suffering
editors of this paper. Really our
comments are exceedingly tame when
compared with the things printed in
old Ben Franklin's day.

IN other in swift alienation.
Ii was first utilized in America by
old Andrew Jackson, who believed
that If Democrats could be allowed to
rotate rapidly in offices formerly held
by wings the party would be much
more contented. This proved to be
the case but the government suffered
from dizziness most of the time.
Rotation in office was perfected until
the department buildings were con-
structed with wide corridors in order
to allow the outgoing and incoming
forces to pass each other without
disturbing the routine of govern
ment.
Rotation is also practised on
American farms with great success.
BY planting first one crop, then an
other, the farmer deceives the land
into thinking it is getting a rest.
This plan is also applied to the farm
er's wife with good results. By al
lowing his wife to rest up from the
housework by milking and to rest up
from milking by doing housework,
many an old style farmer makes the
same wife last as much as twenty
years.
This plan. however, would never do
in the city, where rotation of wives
has been developed to such a science
that our courts can now grant di-
vorce in ten minutes, though they
can't settle a lawsuit in ten years.
Thanks to this system a man can
remain constantly and entertaining
ly married as long as he has money
enough to pay lawyers fees.
Rotation in styles has made mil
lions for the dressmakers and tail
ors, and is also a boon for the wise
man who lays away his clothes in
camphor when they become out of

BRYAN PREPARES ARTICLE
TO BE ISSUED I'M THREE
SEPARATE INSTALLMENTS
Ex-Secretary of State Will Dissertate
on "Causeless War and Its
Lessons for U.s."

WASHINGTON. June 15.-William
Jennings Bryan returned TO Washing
ton today from his week end rest at
Old Point Comfort. He gave out a
statement announcing he would issl.-
an article in three parts, beginning
tomorrow, discussing the "causeless
war and its lessons to us" His
statement read:
Il appreciate the generous amount
of support given me by the press and
would not so soon make another draft
upon its courtesy were il not that I
wish to submit to the country a dis
cussion of the causeless war and its
lessons for US. a subject which | be-
lieve TO be of great and immediate
importance.
"When an outline of this article was
completed, 1 found it too long to pub
lish in a single issue.
"Preferring TO have all the parts
reach the public in complete form,
rather than to have the article con-
denSed in the newspaper offices or
published with varying incomplete
ness, according to the space available,
have decided to divide it into three
parts.
Tomorrow I shall submit the first
part, dealing with the war as it is and
the injury it does to neutral nations;
the next dav 1 shall consider the ori-
gin of the war and the influences
which caused il; the third and con-
cludingl sections will treat of the
means which may be employed for re-
storing permanent peace.

given to the morning papers | shall, as
an act of justice, Give these state
ments TO the evening papers

WILSON BOOSTS PEACE
MOVEMENT IN EUROPE
Says u. S. Giving as Much En-
COuragement as it Legiti-

WASHINGTON. June 15.-Pres't
Wilson today gave impetus to the
peace movement in Europe by saying
that the United States was encourag-
ing. as far as it legitimately could,
efforts to end the conflict.
He denied that European neutrals
had shown dissatisfaction over the
course pursued by the United States
and were ignoring this country in
their peace campaign.
The president told callers that he
hoped Col. +. NJ House, who has
just returned from Europe, would
visit Washington in the near future.
He denied that he had requested Col.
House to return from Europe at this
time.
Declining to discuss any feature of
Mr. Bryan's resignation as secretary
or state the executive would say moth
ing about the changes made in the
German note after Mr.. Bryan's resig-
nation was rendered and before it
took effect
Other phases of the international
situation were handled by Pres't Will
son with equal reticence.
He said the Mexican situation was
too chaotic for him TO make any state
ment about il at the present time,
and there were no new developments
regarding the PRONUNCIATION of a new
commercial treaty with Russia

BERLIN PAPER TAKES
DARK VIEW OF SITUATION
Says There Is No Cause for JubiIation
over Prospects of Improved Ger
man-American Relations.

BERLIN, June ia pessimistic
attitude is taken by the NOssische
Zeitung in it's comment today upon
German-American relations. The
leading article, written by George
Bernhard, says:
There is too much jubilatiOn be-
cause the second American note does
not correspond to the dark prophecies
which went before it. There is no
cause for exultation because of the
vital contradictions existing between
the German and American viewpoints,
not one has been removed so far by
the exchange of notes.
The Berlin naval prize court has
overruIed the recent decision Of the
Kiel prize court regarding the seizure
in October of the Swedish steamship
FIlida. while on her way TO England
with timber The Berlin decision
holds that full compensation should
be made as there was no reason for
the seizure. This decision is regard
ed as highly important as it estab-
fishes a precedent on which neutrals
can base claims for goods seized or
DESTROYED by the German navy.
This was the 27th anniversary of
the accession OF Emperor William TO
the German throne, and celebrations
were held here and elsewhere. Many
teleRrATns of congratulation were sent
70 this kaiser.
