Revival of Hannaisn1.

The Wall Street Journal calls upon
that part of the country which does
the real work. which runs the mills
and the railroads" to consider the ex-
pediency "of a radical change at
Washington after the next presiden-
tial election"
The object of this radical change is
to remove "the shackles from the
trade, finance and transportation Of
the country" "All that is wanted is a
leader like Mckinley to drag US out Of
this Slough of Despond.'
The Slough Of Despond to which the
Wall Street Journal refers is condi-
tion of almost unparalleled prosperity
in which the United States is making
itself the financial and industrial mas
ter of the world. But unparalleled
prosperity In itself does satisfy the
sordid greed of Big Business. Big
Business can never believe in the real
ity of prosperity, no matter how
abundant If Wall street does not con.
troll the government Of the United
States.
When the Wall Street Journal be-
gins to agitate for "a leader like Nc
Kinley," it does not mean Mckinley,
1t means Hanna, and the campaign for
the re-establishment of Hannaism is
already we'll under way.

THEIR LAST CHANCE
Republicans win Make Desperate
Effort for Victory.
Leaders Realize That -Four More
Years Of Wise Democratic Admin
istration VIII Place Party In
Power for Long Period.

All parties always are anxious TO
win campaigns. but the feverish ca
gerness of the Republican leaders TO
get back In the saddle next year
passes anything known In this coun'
try for many day.
The reason is clear. The country Is
prosperous and is getting more pros
porous; moreover, good times are sure
to continue for a considerable PERIOD
In spite of the war waste OF Europe.
II prosperity is allowed to grow and
develop under a Democratic admins
tration, with the lowest tariff since the
Civil war, the country never will 90
back to Aldrichism, and ambitious Re-
publicans may as we'll hang up the
fiddle and the bow TO. the next dozen
years. But II the G.. o. p. can grab
control next year, raise the tarin'
and yet hang to the results OF Presi-
dent Wilson's wise statesmanship IN
passing the currency law and keeping
the nation at peace-in word, II the
Republican organization can cash VIII
sons checks, 1t will be safe for an
other period Of prosperous plunder
and protection" graft like that ush'
cred In by Mark Hanna.
This is why the nation is being
combed for Republican presidential
candidates This is why Republican
speakers and writer's are going over
President Wilson's record with MI
croscope, trying to find some triflng
error on which to hang wild CON-
plant. This is why we hear such
dolorous wailing about "our failure in
Mexico" where we have not failed,
and such wild clamor about the ma
tional defense. which the Republican
party neglected for sixteen years.
Anything for an issue and anybody
for a candidate, If that issue or that
nominee seems to have a chance to
beat President Wilson. That is the
guiding principle that rules the Re-
publican party today.

Military Salute's Origin.

The military salute had curious
origin, if tradition is to be believed 1t
is said that it originated in the days Of
the tournament, at which Il queen Of
beauty was chosen to preside, The
knights and their esquires and all who
took part in the tourney on presenting
themselves before the queen lifted each
one hand level with the brows as
though dazzled by the light Of her
presence. A nicely thought out com
pliment this, and, though It's signifi-
canoe Is now forgotten, the natural
dignity of the gesture has preserved 1t
as all everyday mark of recognition Of
a superior rank.-London Chronicle.

FIRE BAGS AT SEA.
The Kind They Used In the Day Of tho
Old Tinder Box.

The Kind They Used In the Day Of tho
Old finder Box.
Every whaler and sealer that sailed
the seas In the days Of wooden ships
carried a fire bag. This was tarpau-
lin bag about foot long and six inches
wide lined with waterproof material.
with interlmings of oilcloth and thick
flannel. Into this was placed the flint
and tinder box for kindling fire, and
the bag was then securely fastened
with double flaps and tied to keep its
contents dry.
1t was the special duty of the second
mate to look after the fire bag and In
case Of shipwreck to attach it at once
to his person by means of stout straps
provided for the purpose. Thus If Off
GERS and crew were cast away on some
deserted shore in the desolate arctic
circle the means Of obtaining a fire to
warm themselves by and to heat food
and drink would not be wanting as
long as the precious fire bag was safe.
The steam whalers and sealers of the
present day still carry a fire bag stow
ed in the lifeboat with the bread and
water, but now it Is Of rubber and con-
tains half dozen tin boxes of matches.

DELUDES ITS ENEMIES.
Cunning Of the Castor Oil Plant In
Protecting lite Seeds.

Protecting lite Seeds.
Dressing them up TO look like foul
tasting bugs, this plant protects her
children from hungry birds. II It were
not for their disguises the children
might be eaten and never have a
CHARGE to grow and become big plants,
The wise mother plant realizes this
hence the masquerade. It's the castor
oil plant
To the average person anything re
lating to castor oil is not regarded as
much Of a delicacy. Birds, however
think otherwise. The seeds OF the plant
are like candy TO them.
So the mother slant schemes TO pro
tect them. When she sends them ou,
into the world she clothes them In
variegated and fantastic dress until
the seeds resemble coccinella beetles.
Now, II there Is anything birds dis
like more than anything else II is q
coccinella beetle. As result they
make a wry face when they see the
castor oil beans and pass them by.
These seeds are oval and about a
half inch long. They grow in spiny
capsules, three seeds in each capsule

Hanker for tho Fleshpots.

Although the banking and currency
act is admitted to be the greatest and
most successful piece of financial leg
islation ever enacted in this country,
banking interests are dissatisfied be-
cause they are no longer in possession
of the treasury and the comptroller Of
the currency Munitions makers are
preparing a campaign In congress- to
perpetuate their war profits at the ex-
pense of the American people. In
other words, all the hegs OF Big Bust
ness are trying to get their feet back
into the trough.

Attacking the Mexican Policy.

President Wilson has the solid sup
port Of the American people in his
policy toward the countries involved
in the great war. This is proved by
the presidents political enemies
They have almost abandoned their ef-
forts to pick flaws in his attitude on
submarine piracy and the rights Of
neutrals at sea, and are turning their
heaviest guns on his Mexican policy.
Probably it is the best thing they
can do, but 1t does not offer much
hope.
President Wilson was In honor
bound to try persuasion before resort
ing to force to bring peace in Mexico.
He may have stuck to persuasion too
long-or he may not. 1t is a question
Of judgment-and no rational Ameri.
can believes that the judgment Of
Gussie Gardner or Hooligan Hoist ia
better than that Of Woodrow Wilson.

Double Eyed Fish.

There is fish equipped with bifOcal
eyes. one-half of the lens for seeing
above the surface Of the water and the
other for submarine use. This char
acteristic also gives the fish its popu-
lar name-double eyes.
The fish inhabits the shores Of South
America. Sometimes they swim with
the eyes half out Of water. Examina-
ton shows that each lens is divided
into two parts by dark band. The
half above the band is out of water
and the other half below the surface
Naturalists tell us that the tish's eyes
became double from its practice In
swimming with them half submerged.
Nature made the part Of the eye above
water adapted for seeing in the air,
while the other part remained adapted
for vision under water.
The double eyes grow to about a
foot in length and in Brazil are caught
for food.--Philadelphia North Ameri-
can.
