Modern 21vaens Has The
Finest Harb0x In Greece

Washington, D. c., Nov. 13.-
The commercial and historic import
ance Of the Greek of Piraeus
where many stirring incidents have
SO recently occurred, is set forth in
the following war geography bulle-
tin issued from Washington by the
National Geographic society:
when the tugs of the Entente AL
lies tOWed the battleships of Greece's
modern navy out of the port of Pi-
Taeus the incident marked a striking
transition from the events which
nearly 2,40O years ago resulted in the
birth Of Athens first navy in the same
waters. 1t was during those perilOus
days when the Persian hordes under
XerXes, unstayed by the sacrifice Of
LoOnidas and his immortal Spartans
at Tthormopylae, threatened to blot
out Attic culture, that Athens. upon
consulting the Delphic oracle, re-
ceivod this enigmatic promise: When
everything else in the land of Cecrops
shall be taken Zeus grants to Athens
that the wooden walls alone shall re-
main uncOnQuerod to defend YOU and
your Children Whether or not The
mistOcles, the original big navy advo-
cate, inspired this prophecy history
has never been able to determine def
initely, but it is certain he placed his
own construction upon it. He as
sembled all the Hellenic soldiers on
the wooden ships at Salamis, just a
few miles from Piraeus, while the
women and children Of the city were
sent to the protection of those other
wooden walls, the forests of the
neighboring hills. The floating walls
proved their worth, and Xerxes' power
was broken by the decisive Athenian
victory, 200 of the enemy's ships be-
ing destroyed

price which labor will command

substantiate the truth of these asser-
lions Mr.. Swope quotes Alfred Lob"
mann, who sent the submarine
Deutschland on it's two trips to this
country, as saying:-"It is pure bosh
to talk of Germany piling up great
store of merchandise to unload after
the war. We have no labor or money
for extra production. 1t is obviously
impossible. Where are we to get the
raw material? For a long time after
the war we shall be busy binding up
our own commercial wounds"
And these are the nations that
healthy America is to fear after the
war, nations crippled and bleeding
from the seige of a long drawn out
activities were suspended. Instead Of
fearing these nations America should
know that it is feared by these ma
tons. They will all be turning to us
products. The United States govern
ment has commercial agents in
Europe and these trained economists
report the same as Mr.. Swope whose
testimony is in complete accord with
that given by the director of the
North German Lloyd Steamship COM
pany, Philip Heineken, and the Amer
lean Industrial Commission which re-
Gently conducted an investigation in
France It will be some years after
the war before European manufac-
tured goods make an inroad on the
American market and by that time
the Tariff Commission will nave set
up a sufficient barrier in the way OF
a fair and just tariff to prevent
American firms from going out of
business. 1t is foolish to believe that
the present administration will SIT
idly by and watch the business OF
this country being demolished.

its success led to g new issue of $4,-

With my pipe a-working easy, and
my mind likewise the same,
I'm a-sitting on our summer porch
a-lis'nen' to the rain
AS it patters on the shingles like a
drum corps on parade
And the music OF it sounds lust like
the taste of marmalade.
I can see the green fields rea chin up
to meet the falHn' rain;
I can smell the Twin perfume of the

And I feel a deep Thanksgiving and a
blissful sentiment.
Over yonder on the bosom Of the

To see the fun and frolic of the rain
drops. The delight
Of the crick itself, a-dancin' and
a-singin' natures tune,
Calls to mind the merry children that
go picnicking in June.
And 1 feel such deep contentment
crowdin through my whole in

That I turn to where my partner is
a-sittin by my side,
Just to show her how the fairies are
enpoying their release.
And I see her eyes a-Shln, with the

And as we reverently sit a-watchln

There's nothing to remind us that

AFTER THE WAR, WHAT?

BACK TO THE PEOPLE.

Charles Evans Hughes has not yet
conceded the reelection of President
Wilson so therefore he is not con-
forming to the etiquette of politics
and sending the customary congratu-
latory message to the victor. Chair
man Wilcox of the Republican Cam
paign Committee is likewise standing
pat, so is the Old Guard of the party,
so is Wall Street. Elegant to the
last, all Of them refuse to taste the
bitter dregs. The cup of sorrow, filled
to overlooking, has not yet broken
their spirit. While there is life their
is hope, while there is such a thing as
an official count of the popular and
electoral vote in California there is
a chance that Woodrow Wilson might
yet hand over his pen to the bearer
of the sword. This, according to their
way of seeing it.
If the people of the United States
elected their President by direct vote
and not by the archaic method of an
electoral college this doubt would not
now be hanging over the political
horizon. In a close election, although
the popular vote may be in favor of
one candidate, the opponent has great
chances of winning out through the
votes of the electoral college, which
is not truly representative of the
wishes Of the people. The system
whereby the voters do not vote direct
~ for the President but vote for
presidential electors must sooner or
later be changed. There is no rea-
son in this day and generation why
each state should place the power of
it's popular vote in the hands of Ger
tain number of electors based on the
states number of Representatives
and Senators in the national Con-
mOmentuOus question. Mr.. Hughes
might reasonably, and according to the
law, withhold his congratula tons UNI
til the electors meet on January 8,
however, that he admit his defeat now.
The outcome in California is no more
uncertain than the outcome in Indiana
which went for Hughes by a narrow
margin, but which has been placed in
the Republican column.
AS originally intended, the electOra
college was a good thing. It was sup
posed to do away with any evils that
might exist in the methods of count
ing the popular vote Of the electorate
| The electors were chosen to offset
! the prejudces of the popular mind
and, if anything was palpably wrong
! to cast their votes for the man, who
