CHAMBERLAIN C0NTRADlCTS
 WICK'S CLAIM

Continued from Page 1) port of the President and the ad- ministration 1t would not have pass ed at all.
 "GEO. E. CHAMBERLAIN"
 Thus another Wickersham boast goes by the board. His claim to the credit of writing the railroad bill and securing its passage is in limbo with his claim of credit for the Ju- neau school bonding bill, the Ju- neau capitol appropriation bill (which has not yet passed), his claim that he fought against the limitation on fisheries legislation and many other things, his claim or credit for the wagon road ap- propriation and other measures, his label on the speech in the House of Representatives on full Terri torial government - the silent speech"

worker while Wickersham was a poli- tician, playing all sides of all Ques- tions. He ridiculed Wlckershams assertion that he had opposed the Limitations in the organic act with reference to fisheries. He showed by the Congressional record that Wickersham had consented to the limitation on the foo? of the House of Representatives. He quoted ex- tensiyely from records to disprove assertions of the Delegate.

 For nearly a half an hour MT. Grigsby spoke of his own candidacy and the charges made against him by George D. Schofield He com pletely demonstrated that he never unjustly prosecuted organized labor. He showed up the inconsistent posi- tlon of J. H. Cobb, independent can didate for Attorney-General. That he had the entire sympathy of the large audience was evident before he had finished this portion of his speech. He made no personal at tacks on his opponents.

 Closing his remarks concerning his own candidacy, Mir. Grigsby launched an attack on the record of Delegate James Wickersham. He compared the relative merits of Sen ator Sulzer and Delegate Wicker sham, showing the former to be a producing miner and developing

JULY

The first appearance of July in the Roman calendar was as the fifth month, under the name of Quintilis. It has 36 days in the Alban calendar, but, Romulus reduced it to 31 days, and Numa to 30 days. It remained at the latter figure until Julius Caesar. whose birth month it was, gave it 31 days, taking the added day from Feb ruary, the poor abused month which has always been the goat" of calendar makers. After the death of Julius Caesar the name of his natal month was changed to July in his honor, Mark Antony having been responsible for the suggestion. Antony also urged that this month was most appropriate because it was the hottest of the year. when Old Sol was at the height of his glory, thus signifying the potency and grandeur of the dead Julius. Among the early Saxons the month was known as "Heymonath,' because it was then that they usually moved and made their hay-harvest" Charle- magne attempted to change the name to "Huemonat," meaning knowing month," but he was only temporarily successful, and for the next 31 days the people of the civilized world will render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's'' by applying his name to the month now beginning

JULY FOURTH AND THE WAR.

It is interesting to look over old newspaper files to see how our grand fathers observed the national holiday. It would be still more interesting if one could see a photograph of those solemn old worthies in the act of eel ebrating. They were certainly SUIT and pompous old affairs.
 The patriots of those days gathered in stuffy halls on hot days, attired in frock coats and formal 'stove pipe hats There were long and tedious toasts. Everything on the continent from the President of the United States down to the ladies, was made the subject of fervent eulogy.
 The old speeches were very spread eagle affairs. Concrete chunks Of wis dom for the benefit of the effete na- tions of Europe were handed out by village statesmen. Our political sys- tenn was glorified as the consummate flower of wisdom, while Europe was passed over with contempt as still steeped in ignorance.
 Discriminating people used to think these speeches sSbumptious. for a young nation whose political ideas were still

BUKOW|NA

Among the many titles held by Fran cis Joseph is that of Duke of Buko- wina, a title which has been vested in the House of Hapsburg ever since Bukowina was ceded to Austria by the Rultan of Turkey in 1777. Bukowina's s inhabitants have perhops suffered more in this war than any other people, for the territory of the Austrian crown land has been fought over again and again. Tn expulsion of the Russians gave the people brief breathing spell but they had scarcely had time to re- turn to their shattered and devastated homes when Brusiloff's great drive again plunged the unhappy land into the maelstrom of war. The Buko- winians are a simple, hard-working, thrifty but illiterate people, and they have been driven to and fro like cattle, knowing little or nothing of the caus- es of the conf1agration which sudden ly burst out and destroyed their homes ruined their crops and reduced them to rags and starvation. Owing to the isolation of Bukowina it has been inn possible for the Humanitarian agencies of America to reach the suffering peo- pie. Both the Austrians and the Rus sians have found it difficult to meet the needs of the Bukowinians in the matter of food and clothing. Buko- wina was long part of Moldavia. At later period in it's history it came under the control of Turkey. In 1769 the Russians invaded the coun- try while at war with Turkey and held it until 1774, when it was restored to the Porte, who, three years later, ceded Bukowina to Austria. The greatest as we'll as the oldest of the worlds salt mines are in Bukowina

experimental. But when one thinks how the European system of govern ment has broken down. how unfit for modern civilization government by kings has proved, it seems as if our former village orators had the right of it after all. sslv
 The rule of kings is an anachronism. Inevitably sooner or later it leads to war. The common people dazzled by the glitter of royalty, give up their lives and treasure, while kings make no such personal sacrifice. Where democracy rules, war never starts.
 The Fathers were right after all in their eulogy of American ideals. Whatever faults our political system has, it at least established a govern. ment in which the man who suffers the most from war has some say about the fighting.

RURAL MINISTERS OF. STATE ENJOY
 ''VIRCINIA REEL"

Storrs, Conn.,, July 1.-The second conference of rural masters and lead- CTS in rural work was concluded last evening after a two days session. Delegates to the number of about 100 from all sections of the state took part in the discussions. The call was is- sued by H. J. Baker, director of the extension service of the Connecticut Agricultural College, who holds the opinion that the clergy have it in their power to link up the state institutions with the various communities in the commonwealth with whom the exten- sion service was planned. A similar conference was held two years ago and at this one it was decided to plan for 10 gatherings hereafter and to elect an executive committee to plan scope. The committee elected is as fellows:
 |. Chairman, Rev. w. F. English, Hartford. assistant secretary and treasurer of the Connecticut Home Missionary society; Rev. S. E. Marks, Protestant EpiscopaD, Wilton. Fair field county; Rev. E. L. Richards, (Methodist EpiscopaD, Wilton, Litch- field county; Rev. H. B. Goodsell, (Baptist), Killingly, Windham county; Prof. A. J. Brundage and H. J. Baker, of Storrs.
 Resolutions were adopted to be for warded to the secretary of every ag- ricultural fair association in the state requesting that Nt1e fairs be main tained oly for their original purposes and that all midway features be abolished.
 Prof. John M. Tyler, of the biological department of Amherst, delivered the lectures on nature as a book of rev. elation' and mortal men," and Supt. John B. Mclean, of Simsbury spoke on ''The Joy of Country Life,'' Rev. W. F. English on the Social Center" and Rev. G. B. Gilbert of Middlesex on Lights and Shadows in Rural Work" the last named being followed by demonstration of a model country social in which all tn. dignifed dele gates grew young again. playing var ious games. Some joined in a Virginia reel and quadrille. Discussions on work among Bohemians, Italians and Hoorews in rural communities con- cluded the program.

front. The Marquis had driven police officials 17,000 miles before his 1den- tity was disclosed. His only daugh- ter, Lady Kathleen Hill, is serving as a nurse, having taken the nursing course at Newark.
 The oldest of the titles of the Mar quis were created about two centuries ago, when one of his ancestors was created Baron Hill and Viscount Hillsborough. The title of Marquis of Downshire was created in 17S9, the first of the line having been colonial secretary during the American Revo- lution. The family traces it's descent back to Sir Moyses Hill, who served with the Earl of Essex in O'Neill's rebellion in 1873. The present Mar quis succeeded to the title when he was three years old. He has been twice married, the present Lady Downshire being a daughter of E. Benson Lister of Glover Manor, Wind- Sor.
 The first Marquis of Downshire, known in American history as the EarI of Hillsborough, has been charg. ed with share of the responsibility for the American Revolution. Soon afer assuming the office of secretary of state for the colonies he manifested a disposition to bring about the revo- cation of the charters of the colonies, because of his belief that under these charters the people of the colonies enjoyed too much independence. Later he came into prominence in connec- tion with the Massachusetts circular letter. a document offensive to the British ministry. The colonial secre- tary demanded that the Massachusetts Assembly rescind the circular, and called upon the assemblies of the other colonies to pay no attention to it. The result of this was to bring the matter prominently before the at- tention of the colonists. Massachu- setts definantly refused to rescind. and the assemblies of all the other colonies not only upheld Massachu- setts in this stand, but some of them issued circulars of their own.
