Innocent Mr.. Archibald.
 Bridgeport Telegram.)

Capt. F. J. Archibald, the Ameri- car war correspondent, interception of whose messages from Ambassador Dumba to the Austrian governm ent has resulted in a request for the am- bassadors recall, is one of the most innocent persons walking the sur face of the earth. For a war cores pondent, lecturer, newspaper re- porter and veteran of many campaign including the German American press campaign) he has retained a state of verdant simplicity truly as- tonishing.
 MT. Archibald, now happily re- turned to America following the in terruption of his travels abroad, de- clares that he took Ambassador Dumba's message "unwittingly'' and .in entire ignorance. of its contents" :" He leaves us to assume by the con- text of his statement that he took the message also in entire ignorance of the consequence of his action.
 It is too bad that a man of Capt. Archibalds innocence should have been so imposed upon by a tough dip lomat like Dr. Dumba. If the United States takes no other cognizance of Capt. Archibalds reasonable abuse of his U. S. passport, it might at last appoint a guardian for him, to preserve his innocence from further pitfalls.

WHEN MEN LAUGH.


 ~ Therefi is something wonderful in a laugh. It does- the old heart good to- sbeat wildly against the ribs while the head s<'thrown back in merry, vocif- erous Happiness. ItHs the return to- nature, the whole hearted laugh For. no man ever laughed who did not. mean it. He might have sneered, or feigned smile, or spread his lips in
 did not laugh. For to laugh, one has to forget all about the worries and cares of the world, about the thousand and one, little, cares that crop up in
 the night, the sordid things that
 dampen the spirits and take away all
 the joy of life. That IS why it is good
 for man to laugh. And knowing all
 this the scientists nave returned to
 their time honored task of trying to discover just why men, laugh. In
 their blind groping they have discov-
 cred this. The farther man is re-
 moved from the ape, the more he
 laughs. The lower he is in the ami
 mai kingdom the less he laughs. A
 stunning discovery this one that will
 not be welcomed in certain quarters.
 But there are many who will readily
 acquiesce to the doctrine set forth by
 those who have dug back into the
 past and unearthed the first laugh This is supposed to have occurred when the apple was stuck in the throat of Adam. It was such ludic- rous sight to the old man strut ting around the Garden of Eden with an apple core in his larynx that one
 of the highest types E. of monkeys
 burst out in laughter. It was a great joke to the monkey, although Adam is reported not to have seen any hu- 5mort in the situation. So that was the first laugh. Ever since then the laugh 1 has been on the human race. To wit, the snake did not laugh, who ever saw a reptile laugh? A snake never
 laughs, he merely stings.
 All of which merely goes to show that you never laugh until you are a real human being No matter how grave or how dignifed, or solemn, or l respectable you are, or think you are, there is always laugh coming to
 you, You might try to, suppress this attack of laughter, but your sides will ache for the trouble, and your spirit will rebel at the unnatural letters
 you are riveting on your soul. You
 are guiltyssof a crime against nature l If you want to live like real live hu-
 man being you must laugh. There

Too Many Peaches.
Waterbury American. )

What to do with all the peaches. There are a great many more than it would pay to bring to- market. Peo- pie could eat only so many if they got them for nothing, and the price this year is so low that in compari- son with the usual prices it seems to the raiser as if he were giving them away .'ss'4 Y
 Just see how things work by in- ter-relation. The great abundance of peaches affords of opportunity for the icanner. He can get his material so cheaply now and can sell it for the usual price next winter that his prof. it will be unusually large. He Is tempted, therefore, to can much more than the usual amount. That makes demand for cans, so the can, maker comes in for his share of the bene- fit of the great crop. The demand for cans, both for peaches and to- matOes, has been so great that the supply has been greatly depleted and the price has naturally gone up. The can makers have made a great many more cans than ever and on this ac- count they are reaping harvest.
 Millions of bushels of peaches are rotting but the abundance has brought to the farmers even at low prices an usually large return. Of this the handlers have got a fair share, ther smaller profit on each basket being made up by the unusual amount of peaches sold. Then the canners have piled up more than usual for next winter and the can makers have had their part in this boom. The public, too, has profited by the abundance of cheap peaches
 Nobody suffers except those wno hate to see so much good fruit wasted with the assurance that next year the tired trees will not bear much of any fruit ~%

Senator Lippitt's Bad Start.
Providence Journal.)

At the annual outing of the Repub- lican City Committee of Pawtucket last Friday, United States Senator Henry F. Lippitt was the guest of honor and the principal speaker. The occasion was the first gun" in Sena- tor Lippitt's campaign for reelection There was no doubt about this. The cards issued for the affair proclaimed the fact with the legend:-
 The First Gun 1916. Pawtuckets choice for senator. Senator Henry F. Llppitt, who stands for the protec- tlon of American industries
 senator Lippitt, in opening his speech, facing Ike Gill, the treasurer of the affair and a large crowd of Gllls followers, made the following statement, addressing his hearers as the active workers of the party in FaWtucket:-"
 ~ The Pawtucket organization has my admiration. It is the best cap- ta1ned and the best manned pol1tl- cal body in New England. It ac- complishes things"
 . These words were spoken of body of politicians who constitute the most interruptions and corrupt gang that has ever disgraced the State of Rhode Island.
 Many times since MT. Lippitt took his seat in the senate his constituents have heartily commended his work there. He has distinctly grown in influence and in value to his State, and, in spite of his tariff obsession, he has been a loyal worker for good.
 But has MT. Lippitt failed, after all, to heed the political lessons of the past few years?
 Does he think he will gain by the support of his disgraceful Pawtucket gang more than he loses in the re- spect of decent voters?

point on terra firma, has yet to lose its thrill.
 E Coincident with the gratifying news of Stefanssen's safety comes an an- nouncement from the wilds of Colo rado, where an exploring party has discovered what it classes as one of : the greatest archaeological finds of the century, consisting of an enor- nous stone citadel built by the cliff dwellers thousands of years ago. At about the same time another venture some scientist, in search of the un- known, disappeared in one of the immense "parks' of the same state, ana It IS feared that he is lost.
 These very recent discoveries alone would seem to dissipate the conten- tlons that modern progress has re- duced the earth to insignificant pro- portions. Out of the beaten highways or traVel there are still and will long cohtlnue to be, much that is little known to the world at large. War it. seH mas lifted the veil over immense areas, disclosing names and customs Wlth Whlch the outlying sections had put the scantest acquaintances And Tn aod1tlon to these are the ruins of unknown empires, such as are dis closed in the remains of once popu- lous. cities now being dug over in Peru and other parts of South Am erica.
 With few exceptions, these remark able discoveries merely bring to light the evidences of past habitation by man, althought giving mute testimony to the possession of no small degree of development on his part. Why they should have disappeared and how will in many instances continue the 1nsoluble mystery. The region once oc- cupied by the cliff dwellers probably bordered the open sea in the far-off age when the Gulf of California cov- cred what are new the semiarid re- gions of the great Southwest. Earth quakes have done their part as well. The hand of man against his fellow man may account for much of the rest. The last perhaps has been chief among the instrumentalities that have led to disappearing and rediscovered civilizations, as it may again come to pass in the record of mankind's tu- multuous history on earth.

Herr Hearst to the Rescue. 

It looks bad fc1 the Anglo French lean. Herr Vierock, Herr Weismann and Herr Koeible are already on rec ord against it, and Herr Hearst teIe- graphs from New Orleans to his prr- cipal morning newspaper, the Deout- ches Journal, fiat, "Ich bin i'm Be- griffe mach New York gu gchen ura gegen die kriegsanleihe fur die kricg- sufuhrenden NarCcnen Europas zu CO., pcnieren und zzar gu oppenieren so stark ich es nur Zu tun vermag''
 In other words Gott strafe the loan. Herr Hearts is on his way here it to oppose and indeed it to opposed so strongly s.s it to dc he can. And back Of Herr Hearst stands the Hon. Jere- miah OIeary, who first thought it out in his own mind that if every American would hide his money and bring on a panic and bankrupt the country and close all the banks ard factories and put the railroads lnI all the Industries out of business, 1t would be impossible to sell anything to, England and Ireland would be free. Like Herr Hearst, Mr. O'Leary presumbably ''glaubt nicht daran da>:s solch' cine Anleihe i'm Interesse Les Lande liegt," but O'Leary cannot write about it in the language of Kultur, so it is difficult for him t. grab the center of the stage when Herr Hearst starts from New Orleans the loan zu opoonieren.

A Prosecuted Pioneer.
(New Haven Register.)

Last week was a trying one for small boys who, used in the moder- ately hot weather of the summer to wear shirts with no collars and sleeves, or with collars turned in and sleeves rolled up,. were compelled to return to the ways of convention in the hottest weather of many seasons. Their sisters were fortunate. They, whether pupils or teachers, could wear collarIess and low cut waists without exciting a ripple. But alas for the boys came to school in simi- lar negligee. They were sent home and told to get dressed.
 At least that was the treatment they got in a certain New Jersey school The two young sons of a citizen with positive views as to male as well as female rights went to school collarless with the bands of their shirts turned in. They were sent home. The next day they went in the same way, and were again sent hcme. This was repeated three days, and now their father is appealing to the state commissioner of education for a decision on the question whether boys haven't as much right to dress comfortably in hot weather as have girls.
 It may look like a small question, but more is involved in it than ap- pears. A woman turns as the weather-cock of fashion points, but man has to struggle to get away from convention. This protesting parent, is in the position of 8 pioneer In a measure he is persecuted pioneer. Most of his fellows will sit still as mice and watch to see how he comes out, however much they may sympathize. A few of them will conservatively express their approval. But lot of them will rejoice, if he wins his point. &t rt
