The Candidacy of Justice Huahes

Moorfield Storey in the Yale Review paving the highest tribute to MT Justice Hughes presents reas- ons why he should be nominated for the pres idency and why he should accept the nomination if tendered him. The great court of which he an honored member is called upon constantly to decide questions which divide the country and excite antag- to unjust suspicion and attack from which even the supreme court has been free and it needs all weight and all the authority can command It's members should be beyond the reach of any tempta- uon and could do it d injury than he who should give it's enemy a chance to suggest that it's action great question de- termned or influenced by the political ambition single member. Much be borne an unfit president but cannot contemplate without the gravest anxiety anything that would weaken the au- thorty of the supreme court.
 This reminds of late, interesting and able ar ticle in the Outlook. The Trilemma' "a syllogism with three conditional propositions the major pre- misses of which disjunctively affirmed minor" But for ordinary purposes may regard the rilemma a choice between three objects The Out look solves the rilemma and leaves us without the trouble of making choice; may accept all three.

 From those who do not know. The Britsher moves slowly
 Pat is sure to see the time When there'll be grass for his iackass
 In the Valley of the Rhine They'll all be Irish coppers
 On the streets of old Berlin. And they'll make an awful swagger
 When they run those Germans in. They will eat the kaisers sauer kraut

The present time seems wonderfully favorable for carrying forward your own personal thrift campaign. All signs point to a tremendous. record breaking year of prosperity in the United States during 1916. Millions on millions will be made but if real and lasting benefits are to be gained the men and women who are earning increased wages and salaries must learn how to save.
 Those who are plugging along with the same old income and nothing saved should begin now. Let the year of the great Thrift Campaign be your nspira- tion and help.

THE YEAR THAT
''- , nm ! TIA
 HAD NO SUMMER
Ice and Snow Falls Characterised Sum ner Months One Hundred Years Ago

The year 1916 was known throughout the United States and Europe as the
 co!dest ever experienced in this Iati- IuCe. Very few persons now living
 can recOllect it. The following Is a
 brlet summary e the weather during that year: January and F6bru<rv were
 mild, March was cold; April began warm, but ended in snow and ice. Ice
 formed an inch thick in May, and fields
 were planted over again till it was too
 late to replant.
 June was the coIdest ever known in
 this latitude; frost and ice were com
 nor. Almost every green thing was Elied; fruit nearly all destroyed. Snow feii to the depth of ten inches in Tnr-
 mont. sevein in Maine three in tho in
 terior of New York, ana also in NIassa- ChusettS. There were a few WAryn G&ys. All classes looked for them in that memorable cold summer 67 years ago. It was called a dry season. Bat
 little rain fell. The wind blew steadily from the north, cold and fierce. Moth CTS knit extra socks and mittens for t1eOir children in the spring, and wood piles that usually disappeared during
 the warm spell in front of the houses were speedily bui% up again. Plant nlg and shiVering were done together, and the farmers who worked out thCir ta%e%- on the country roads wore OvCr~ coats and mittens. In a town in Yer mont a f%ck of sheep belonging to farmer had been sent as usual to their pasture. On the 17th of June a heavy snow fell; the cold was intense, and the owner started away at noon 10 look for the sheep. Better start the nelghborS after me soon, wife, he said in jest before leaving; ''being in the middle of June, I may get lost in The snow" Night came; the storm in creased, and he did not return. The EexC morning the family sent out Cor Eetp, and started in search. One aft CT another of the neighbors turned out to | look for the missing man. The snow had covered up all tracks, and not until | tho third day did they find him on | tEe side of a hill with both feet frozen | u1ahle to move.
