on the shady step of a vacant house

''You poor fellow! In need of a

new acquaintance, who looked with
deep gratitude up into his eyes.

pathos in his gentle caress. Hudson

The dog lay down at his feet, as

continue his way that the animal
acted strangely and disturbed. He
followed Hudson; he whined. He

President As Peacemaker

If the relaxed Berlin censorship,
which has recently encouraged the
public discussion of peace hoped
thereby to influence the Presidents
utterances on Saturday the attempt
was failure. He has said all along
that if he appeared as an intermedi-
airy in Europe it would be at time
when his services were acceptable to
every belligerent. His words now
show that, in spite of the German,
idea of peace SO industriously pro-
claimed, his position is unchanged.
Moreover, the peace that he has in
mind bears no resemblance to any
thing as yet intimated by those who
speak for the military caste of
Prussia. What he contemplates is a
world peace in which public right will
take precedence over the individual
interests of particular nations; in
which the territorial integrity of
small states will be respected and
which will not hereafter be disturbed
by aggression arising out of secret

The Republican Guess

The Republican convention at Chi
cago next Wednesday may be one of
the most exciting of all time, or it
may be tame as a pup tapping milk.
Theodore Roosevelt is trying to
make it eat out of his hand, and it
has baked at the task. Still, there
is an eternity between now and the
time when the first ballot takes
place.
The most likely thing that can
happen is that Roosevelt will
stampede the convention. All opin-
ions assert that he is trying to get
the nomination because he does not
want it. Some of his virility in re-
cent speeches is unblushing.
If the Republicans want to have a
chance to win against Wilson, they
will have to find someone who does
not have two sides to his character,
and who is less of selfish politician.
No one questions Roosevelt's utter

by inheritance from his well-known
father before him. The latter had
given Allan the kind of tutelage that
might have been expected to produce
good results, and this added to the

a boy minstrel in shape to do things,

The last of the quartette of end

christened Howard Lane, smallest,
but by no means the least important,

captivated an audience, and there
were none of these qualifications

dience and held it every minute of
his stay before the footlights.
Little Roger Capellani recited a
poem in French, "The Dedication of
Monument" and at once made
friends by his happy manner. 1t was
his first appearance and he made an
agreeable impression.
An amusing incident of the even

disregard of common

counsels in disregard of common
rights.
How sharply this is in conflict with
the gospel of blood and iron may be
shown by recalling some of the golden
texts of Junkerism-that the state is
above the morality; that war is
biological necessity; that treaties are
obligatory only during convenience;
that weak nations have not the same
right to live as powerful nations, and
that wars deliberately provoked often
have the happiest results.
That there is great desire for
peace in Germany is admitted, but it
is not as yet desire for the kind of
peace which the President would like
to establish. Defeated in its main
purposes, the peace that Germany
now proposes is nevertheless a peace
of its own making in which, itself the
suppliant, it asks it's enemies to as
sumo the role. It has relinquished
for the moment hopes of conquest and
indemnity. 1t has not given up the
habit of dictation and menace, against
which on the part Of the allies the
present war is mighty protest.
This is the essence of the whole
matter, and the Presidents prescrip-
ton of peace worth while can be Of
no value unless all of the belligerents
accept and act upon some such prin-
ciple in good faith. Germany is not
in a position to impose terms upon
Europe. 1t is no longer able to ter
rify Europe. It may still further mis-
use its great power, but at home as
well as on the lines of battle autcracy
is at last face to face with forces
that it cannot subdue. Prodigious as
have been Germany's physical efforts,
the moral energies Of the world long
ago pronounced against that empires
ruthlessness, and they must prevail.
Recognition of this fact in Berlin
will be no more humiliating than the
surrender of plundered states and
provinces, already foreshadowed. Such
a peace as the President suggests
would be of more value to Germany
itself than any triumph or trophy
gained by its once all-conquering

Common politeness comes from,
two sources, culture and unselfsh-
ness. Most people want or would
like to be polite.
1t pays to be polite.
Common politeness means consid-

Common politeness is the basis of
at good manners. A man may be
polite, yet bad-mannered because he
may not know what good manners
are. This is the instinct of polite
ness.
Common politeness requires that
you do not chew gum in public. if
you insist on chewing it at all.
Common politeness requires that
you take your place at the ticket
window instead of walking ahead and
squeezing in" ahead because YOU
are selfish and mean.
Common politeness requires that
you do not talk upon your pet hobby
merely because you know everybody
is aware of your having it.
Common politeness requires that
you do not spit out of the window of
summer cars, or on the floor of winter
ones.
Common politeness requires that

friends in on Tuseday evening last to
welcome Mr.. George A. Johnson, who
last week arrived from a three years
stay in Bombay, India. 1t was a
very delightful little gathering, and
entirely informal. Miss Clara Foep-

were greatly enjoyed. Grape juice

Indifference to what any one may
think of his methods.
The hardest contract any party
ever had is to find a man who is
more acceptable to thinking people
than Woodrow Wilson. What is sale
of him here in the east by unscrupu-
lous editors who represent Wal
street does not harm him before the
larer part of the country. Good bust
ness, the banking bill, and his ex-
traordinary political sagacity, make
Wilson the most formidable man be-

With the old system the clock

The European war made this in
novation a necessity in order to con-

essary for us to do so here, and the
government may not adopt the hour

time New York merchants are now
seriously considering it.
But whether the government takes
up with the idea or not, it is a good
one which the individual may put into
execution on his own account He
can make up his mind to get up an

vantage. You will be gaining an

SATURDAY, JUNE, 8, 1916
Setting Clocks Ahead

European countries, many of them,
have adopted the plan OF setting all
clocks and time pieces ahead one
hour in order to enjoy more daylight
hours, and get better results from
labor.
Setting a clock at 6 o'clock, means
that formerly it would have been
only 5 o'clock. The idea is that
when we look at clock which shows
6 o'clock, we must jump out of bed,
although it is only 5 o'clock.
Men accustomed to getting up at 6
o'clock cannot be urged to get up at
5, no matter how they may be urged
to do so.
The new plan undertakes to per-
suade people that when the clock
shows 6 o'clock it is time to get up,
and getting up they thus save an
hour because it is really only 5
o'clock.
There is sort of comedy element
entering into the proposition because
some people refuse to see that the
hour is saved. Of course it is! 1t
it taken off at the other end of the
day, because man quits work at 4
o'clock by the new set-ahead clock,
when it is really 5 o'clock. He has
worked the same number of hours,
however, and the real gain is in hav-
ing another hour of daylight as his
own.
The chief thing about the process
is that it makes the day begin earlier,
and, d. course, it automatiaal1
