SUSPICIOUS OF THE COLONEL.


The Allentown Democrat says news
from Oyster Bay is to the effect the
Colonel is radiating as much glee as
though he had been elected president
again. 1t asks: "And why not" and
proceeds to answer the question in a
way that shows it thinks there is no
reason why he should not be gleeful.
L says:
Teddy won notable victory
when he again helped elect Wood
row Wilson president He side
tracked the only dangerous rival
he had for the Republican nomin-
alton four years hence. Immed-
lately after the Republican con-
vention last June the Democrat
predicted that Roosevelt would do
everything in his power, secretly,
to defeat Hughes. We saw
through his game even if the Re-
publicans did not Why, then, ev-
erything points to the nomination
of Roosevelt for president by the
Republican party in 1920?
But if the Democrat is right what
would a Republican nomination in
1920 be worth to the Colonel? He
would be more unpopular than ever
with the Republicans who succeeded
in defeating his nomination this
year. If he were nominated would
they vote for him?
Whether the Democrat is right or
not the olonePs road would be a very
rocky one if the Republicans should
believe the charges against him.
1t is perfectly plain that the Pro-
gressives in the West did not support
Hughes with any degree of unanimity.
It is doubtful whether the majority of
hem voted for Hughes. 1t is equally
plain that the Colonel's speeches ten
led to ALLEVIATE the German-Americans
rom the Republican candidate. Roose-
yelt was constantly denouncing Presi-
lent Wilson for not taking drastic &C
ion after the sinking of the Lustania
md he had nothing to say about the
many outrages perpetuated by the
British on American citizens. 1t was
llso generally believed that if Hughes
we're elected Roosevelt would be Sec
'etary of state. His speeches were
enough to make the Germans believe
hat in swapping Wilson for Hughes
hey would be Jumping from the fry
ng pan into the fire."
Whether he intended his speeches to
nave this effect he alone knows with
1t is also true that i'll
Hughes had been elected he would al
most certainly have received the Re-
publican nomination again in 1920,
thereby leaving no opening for the
Colonel until 1924 when he would
nave been 66 years old If Roosevelt
wished to be president the election of
Hughes would have been an insur-
obstacle.
But if the suspicion of his disloy-
lity to Hughes Is as strong as we be-
ieve it will be this will also be an
nsurmountable obstacle. 1t is not at
vi probable that he could bet the
nomination and if he did it would
cad to certain defeat.-Jacksonvill

which would prove Of great value to
American farmers. So a plant eX-
plorer," Frank N. Meyer, was sent to
China three years ago, with instruc-
lions to collect vegetation adapted
to swampy or alkali lands, or to con-
ditions of drought or excessive heat.
Meyer tramped about 1,500 miles in
his search. Perhaps his most Valu-
able discoveries are those which con-
Germ the growing of aquatic plants
and vegetables, which offer pronis-
ing possibilities for the utilization of
sWamps.
The find which flower lovers will
most appreciate is that of yellow

PAR VALUE OF A LEA lie, as
passed upon by a Kansas judge, can
be measured in money. In certain
court man was fined 81 for gam
bling and S98 for lying to the Judge.
The price of a lie is usually hidden
and therefore the UninteIligent often
expect to profit by untruths.
However, only a few of them do.
Liars pay, eventually, in lack of con-
f1dence of all those with whom they
do business; and thus in a lifetime,
they lose financially many times over
the S98 estimate made by the Kan
sas judge.
A mans "credit" in his community
is his most valuable asset. He be-
gins to establish his credit in his
youth. His dealings with the boys in
school fix a reputation which will fol-
low him to the ends Of the earth and
perhaps determine his success or
failure in life.
Reckoned so, $9S per lie carries
considerable practical significance.
Perhaps the world should be grateful
to the Kansas judge for fixing a rate
by which the high cost Of lying may
be determined.

Chance for Uuly Men.

There's all kinds of hope for the men in the back row-those whose facial scenery is not attractively arranged A whole bunch of beauties in Broad way chorus declare they just love an ugly mug, because the machinery in it's think box is always we'll oiled. It Is their opinion that the brain of a pretty man could easily be carried in the vest pocket of mosquito And by way of an argument. one girl says: "Go right through the worlds history and you will find that the really big men-the men who have done things were ugly. Women admire them be- cause they are distinctive forces, be- cause they are big and strong, both mentally and physically; and it is a distinct feminine quality to love and crave for that we lack. I'll wager there are many women who have secret admiration for this or that prize fighter because of his physical force, and know lots of them who make no bones about being crazy about this or that football hero." So it's all settled. And it will be worse than useless for any pretty" men to entertain any fond matrimonial hopes where this beauty contingent Is concerned.-New York Times.

FIRST TO BUILD TRENCHES
Romans Instituted system of Field Notifications Which Are Used by
 the Armies Today.

The Romans, who were the first to make a real science and art of war were responsible for one of the prin. cipal features in western Europe-the fortified frontier. This does not mean the ordinary fortified frontier as it was known up to 1914-a series of strong fortified camps with unin- trenched gaps between them.( It was in southwestern Germany that the Romans built, as protection against the inroads of German barbarians, what was the prototype of the line of trenches which today runs from Switzerland to the North sea- And just as the German trenches in France and Belgium are to all intents and purposes the frontier of the Ger man empire, so the Roman trenches the Hines Germanicus-were part of the frontier of the Roman empire
 The northern-known in ancient times as the Kindergarten or palis- ade dftch-ran from the east bank of the Rhine, near Bonn. across the Taurus mountains and the Main in a general southeasterly direction south to near Stuttgart. It consisted of an earthen wall. with ditch-the trench being, of course, on the out side and the wall being the position of the defenders. The wall was topped by a palisade, and at intervals there were towers-burgi-occu Dy small bodies of troops, who patroled the intervening sections of wall At longer intervals were stone redoubts -castella-where larger bodies of guards were stationed. One of the pe- culiarit' as of this frontier-which in its details represented, of course an artificial boundary through what at the time was very sparsely settled country-Was that a stretch Of about fifty miles in length ran in straight line due north. It has been referred to in English and German writings as one of the earliest known boundaries on the American plan.
 Near Stuttgart the Kindergarten meets the Teufelsmauer-the devils wall-wEieh was the name given In medieval Germany to the other half of the Hines Germanicus-a rampant of stone which extends little south of east till 1t meets the Danube at Regensburg. There were forts at in- tervals to strength this, and in the main it was apparently garrisoned much like the Kindergarten.

Mixed Vaccination.

"One of the most signal advances recently made in the prophylactic use of vaccines," says the Medical Rec ord, "is Castellani's method of com bined vaccination, which is now being used on an extensive scale in France and Italy"
 Doctor Castellani has prepared ten combinations of vaccines, each con taining the micro-organisms of from three to six different diseases. and these are giving highly satisfactory results. The combinations are as fol lows:
 CD Typhoid, with two varieties of paratyphoid, (2) Typhoid with Malta fever. (3) Typhoid, two paratyphoids and Malta fever. s(D Typhoid, two paratyphoids, bacillus asiaticus and bacillus columbensis. (5) The same with Malta fever. (6) Typhoid. two paratyphoids and four different dysen teries, CD Cholera with bubonic plague. (S) Cholera, typhoid and two paratyphoids. (9) Cholera, bubonic plague, typhoid and two paratyphoids (10) The Game, with Malta fever.

THE REWARD or WORK.

Work is good for us. The most idle are the most unhappy and Of the least importance in the world. There are these who plume them selves on not being obliged to labor, who think that stamps them as su- perior to those who labor. They are greatly mistaken. The man who works for his days wages and carries his dinner Iail is of far more importance than any idler. The man who wears blue jeans, whose hands show familiar ac- quainance with toll, need not look with envy on the idle rich. who walks as if his feet scorned the street, or leans back in his car riage. The appearance of ease is always greater than the reality, for idleness is not conductive to hap plness.
 No matter how great ones wealth. he needs not spend all his time in idleness. says the Milwau- kee Journal. There are plenty oI ways in which he may employ portion of his time in things of use to the community. One whose min is not occupied by usefu thoughts is likely to be filled witt discontent, envy, jealousy, averics and other evil qualities that brini unhappiness in their train. Th' idle man is not living up to the bes that he might be. Then work Keep your mind and your hand busy at useful employment. Worl helps one forget troubles and pains Work gives one better health o body and mind. Honor your worl and it will honor you.
