an excellent editorial bearing on this
subject as follows:

there never was an instance of an en-
plove who stole to speculate in stocks
and finally won. In the nature of the
case there could hardly be such an
instance. 1t would be a good deal
like beating the law of gravitation.
The novice who bets his own money
on stocks will most likely lose. Gamb
ling sets up q mental arrangement
which soon obscures what little iudg
ment he had to begin with. But if he
is betting stolen money there is the
additional mental arrangement of
thieving. A double force pulls him
earthward. 1t is like trying TO walk a
tight rope when in state of intoxica-
ton.
Yet they do it. Other wees are
more eXplicable. A man may keep on
drinking when he knows it is killing
him, but his will and nervous system
are already diseased by the vice. You

PAY-As-YOU-GO POLICY

Benjamin A. Cook of the Brattleboro
high school class of 1887 has retired
from the office of mayor of Fitchburg,
Mass, after serving two terms in that
important office, following two terms
as a member of the Massachus
legislature. He gave his home gen
uine business administration In con
nection with the announcement of the
Inauguration of his successor the Fitch
burg Daily News says:
. If we cared to offer a word of sug-
gestion at this time, we might say
that the justly celebrated Economy
Band Wagon, invented by Mayor Cook,
IS one of the most successful vehicles
for smooth municipal riding of which
we have any knowledge. We know for
fact that it has been responsible for
the saving of thousands of dollars for
! the city in keeping the various depart
ments within their appropriations.
The pay-as-we- go policy is fawless
and has proved its right to establish
a sound precedent in municipal house
1 keeping. 1t is the only way to do bust
ness. Mayor Cook proved that a city
can be run along businesslike lines
/ despite the croakings of a few old
time politicians.

THE GREEK SITUATION.

The entente allies, for long while
after they landed their expeditionary
forces at Saloniki, acted on the pre-
sumption that they were guests of the
the Greek nation, especially favored In
being permitted to use the facilities of
a Greek city and countryside for the
purposes of warfare. They pretended
to no right to control the local gov
eminent. There was no establishment
of martial law. The civic powers of
the city and district were recognized
1t was unique condition. For the
first time in history, territory was
used by an alien army as a military
base without being seized and placed
under military government. For months
the city of Saloniki has been as open
to Germans, Austrians, BuIgarians or
Turks as to Englishmen or Frenchmen.
Representatives of every member of
the German alliance have watched the
mobilization Of entente troops, secure
in the asylum offered by neutral terri
, tory, a state of affairs never before
known in warfare ev
Now, of sudden, the entente powers
have assumed the right to say who
shall and who shall not abide in Salon
Xxi. They have been arresting Teutonic
consuls and other persons on charge:
of espionage. In other words they have
arrogated to themselves the right t.
make laws for Greek territory.
| Obviously this makes an immense
/ difference in the relative status Of
4 Greece toward the entente Heretofore
though her position was anomalous i
was definite. Though she had permit
ted the presence of alien troops, sh
had surrendered absolutely no part o
her independence. Now she is in thu
position where she must admit tina
Saloniki is no longer Greek or she mus
take steps to redeem her territor-
from alien seizure.
The situation is a critical one Per
haps the necessities of the entent
justify its precipitation. But it i
doubtful.

Taft for the Supreme Bench.
New York World.)

N-N0" OIh w UIIu.)
The death of Justice Lamar has nat
urally excited conjecture as to wheth-
er the President would offer the vacant
seat on the supreme bench to ex-Presi-
dent Taft, not alone on the ground of
his conspicuous fitness but as in the
circumstances the man in public life
logically best entitled to the honor.
The fact that Justice Lamar, Demo
erat, owed his appointment to Mr..
Taft would make the latter s appoint
ment by a Democratic President an
equally happy subordination of parti-
sanship to public policy.
Mr.. Taft S competence for any judi
cial office needs no encomium When
Frederick n. Judson published i'll 1905
his treatise on the interstate com
merce law, he dedicated it "to Honor
able William Howard Taft, LII. D.,
sometime Judge Of the circuit court of
] the United States, whose name is writ
ten large on the pages of the judicial
| history of interstate commerce. 1t
that high tribute was deserved at the
time, the eleven years that have elaps-
! ed have fully confirmed the estimate
/ of Mr.. Taft s fitness for the highest
| judicial duties To his earlier fame as
an upright, just and progressive judge
! he has since added the experience of
governor general of the Philippines
secretary of war and President of the
United States Probably no living
American has a profounder acquaint-
ance with the administration of the
law in all its aspects.
| Mr. Taft IS qualifications for SUI
preme court justiceship are so obvious
that the question would seem to be
less one of his appointment than of
his acceptance. Certainly the name OF
no other man occurs whose selection
would accord so well with the dignity
and traditions of the world S greatest

The oyster is a small, meaty object
which is born on the bed of the At
lantic Ocean and dies in the same spot
with its boots on. An oyster never gets
too old to kill or to serve at q supper
for the benefit of the pipe organ fund,
hence it is almost as popular as that
other household delicaey, corned beef,
which can be made up into hash and
croquettes for nine days hand run
ming.
Oysters are harvested every fall
in thick clusters and served by the
short ton to people who are not in
terested i'll anything else on the table
except the salt, pepper and vinegar.
The raw oyster is served in the same
suit it wore on leaving home, but few
guests eat the shell more than once,
as it is difficult TO digest with ease.
Some people refuse to eat oysters on
the half shell under any circumstances,
for fear of splintering a new SET of
teeth, but greater chances are taken
with the brittle pork chop which has
been sprayed with small fragments OF
bone by an impatient butcher.
The oyster stew is an invigorating
beverage which is produced by scalp
ing large, unresisting oyster and
surrounding it with skim milk. This
results in q rich mixture which viii

hours after it is eaten. When enjoyed
in company with two pounds of
square crackers and pint Of dill
pickles, the oyster stew viii satisfy
any appetite that has not been par
alyzed by the boarding house dough
nut
The oyster cocktail is the first ar
tiele served at six clock dinner, and
unless skilfully prepared does not
inspire confidence in the outlook. It
consists in Embedding brunette
oyster in an egg cup and burying it
up to the chin in homemade catsup.
1t requires q steady nerve to eat one
of these cocktails without using both
hands and a pair of pliers, and the
surest test of social leadership is the
ability to do so without allowing the
conversation to anguish.
The escalloped oyster is an effort
on the part of economical housewives
TO utilize bread which is slowly dying
of old age and neglect. 1t is also used
to work off a collection of soda crack
er remnants which were discovered

President Wilson has a great OPP

by appointing ex-President Taft a jus
tice of the supreme court of the United
States. Mr.. Taft S greatest ambition
was to occupy a seat in our highest
judicial tribunal, but he turned aside
to take up a disagreeable and trying
task because he believed that it was
his duty to go to the Philippines as
