Washington, Dec. 11.-Unprece-
dented growth in the foreign trade OF
the United States has been accom-
panied by a beneficial change in Its
character. according to the annual re-
port OF DR.. e. r. Pratt, chief OF the
bureau Of foreign and domestic com
merce The most important feature
pointed to is an increase in exports

William Cooper Proctor, Of Cincinnati,
rendered his resignation as colonel Of
the First Regiment to Adj. Gen. Z. S.
Bryant, Friday, at Columbus. The resig-
nation was rendered in person, Col. Proc
ter having gone 10 the State capital to
attend meeting of the Republican Ex-
ecutive Committees subcommittee As
soon as Gov. Willis heard of the resig-
nation he summoned Colonel Proctor
and attempted to prevail upon him to
withdraw the resignation, but Proctor in
sisted. The governor said the resigna-
ton would be a serious loss to the Ma
tional Guard: 81 am too busy with
other affairs to give the military posi-
ton the attention it deserves" Colonel
Proctor explained
Gov. Willis said: at would be a dis

of such high standing and large business
capacity to withdraw"
he news of Col. Procter's resigna-
ton came entirely unexpected to other
officers of the First Regiment, several
of whom said they had not the slight
est ntimation that such course was
even considered by him. At Colum-
bus it was intimated that Col. Procter's

HARRY M. DAUGHERTY'S
PAMPHLET No. l
Speaking of William Cooper
Proctor, Says:

perhaps in some circles Mr..
Cooper Proctor, of Cincinnati,
might be considered critic wor-
thy of some notice His criticism
was published in the Cincinnati
Enquirer on the same day that
that paper published my statement.
In a subsequent pamphlet Mr..
Proctor's prompt entrance as
defender of the liquor interest
may be given more specific atten-
ton. Mr.. Proctor is member of
the Republican State Executive
Committee at this time. | might
respectfully ask if Mr.. Proctor,
when in an unguarded moment
and under excitement he rushed
SO quickly to the rescue of the
liquor interest, was speaking for
the Republican party. Has he the
right, even though he is on an i'm
portant committee, to speak for
the party? If he claims that right,
does the party support him in his
defense of the liquor interests ?"
Judging from the above Colonel
Proctor must speak for himself,
if not for the party.

The Senate's power in this respect is
supreme. even the pardoning power of

Just how important impeachment has

from the statement of former Senator
Hoar. who served the nation for years
in the upper house. He said: Every
public official lives in dread Of the
awful discretion of the Senate, which
can try him in the presence of the

with the perpetual infamy of its SEN

Just as the Senate is in a way a

No life can be great without the
equipment of sorrow.
There is a depth of sweetness, an
abiding light, in a heart that has
known suffering and borne 1t nobly
that prosperity and long contentment
cannot have.

the contrary is the case, for belief In

The beauty Of the rose depends upon
the muck and the dead leaves sacrificed
at its roots.
Out of the battlefelds of Europe is
springing a strange new birth of faith.
Out of the havoc of tyranny will
come a strong, irresistible movement
for liberty. The only thing that can
compensate humanity for the present
orgy Of mad dynasties Is a revolution

Athens.

Athens is distinctly disappointing at
first sight, especially if you chance to
cherish illusions about the glory that
was Greece. The descendants of Soc
rates meet you at the boat or the train
and surround you with cloud of ex-
postulation, intrigue and entreaty de-
signed to get you to their own partic-
ular hotel, whose merits they extol in
way that puts Demosthenes out of
the running. 1t is embarrassing to
choose among so many perfect hos
telries. but you have the consolation
of knowing that most of them are
equally bad.
If it is night when you arrive you
will probably take a stroll around the
city. You find the two main public
squares set out with hundreds of little
tables under the twinkling stars, where
the populace drinks coffee and watches
moving pictures. Each cafe of conse-
quence has it's own film machine, and
projects on an outdoor screen for the
benefit of its patrons at the tables.
This, Of course, is a state of affairs
highly favorable to the well-being of
the Athenian small boy. In common
with a few of the older proletariat, he
charges around at great rate. trying
to see everything at once. Houses with
balconies fronting on the Zappeion ter
race get free show and are said to
be choice real estate in consequence.
At this evening gathering you feel
something of the race soul of the pres
ent Grecian people. 1t is resigned.
apathetic, depressed. The crowd is
quiet, orderly to the point of stolidity.
II the film breaks or the light goes
out. as frequently happens, the audi
ence sits in patient silence one min
ute, two minutes, Ave minutes. until
the show goes on. There is none of
the restless stir, the whistling and
cat-calling that would be made by a
similar mixed crowd in almost any
other nation. AS you sit in the quiet
night, with such surroundings. you
cannot but muse upon the stored
greatness of the mighty race from
which this people comes. They are,
indeed, the children of renown.
