That is Is has an innocent face and 1t is not quite easy to see how It's affects could be as dreadful as the Delegate says also hard to believe that the administration could bring about conditions which look almost like resembling by resolution little iact like the Constitution of the United States It Is quite possible that Delegate wckersham expresses his alarm too aarmingly
 On the other hand; James Wickersham is very bright man. He may have all the tricks in politics which his enemts would discredit him with He cer- tainiy has always shown decided inclination to be @arin the government" but at the same time he is In a position to know than we.

would be chiefly moral. That would
be its enduring effect. The United
States would be in the position oil
having outlawed a great government
with which throughout history she had
been on terms of peace and amity.
The Fundamental cause of the with
drawal by America of her recognition
of the existence of German govern
ment in the world would be the latters
alleged disregard of international law
and the higher laws Of humanity, pre-
requisites always to international
morality. The United States would
not recognize the German government
as in existence any more than it did

called government. Diplomaticaly

BIBLE LANGUAGE.
A Revelation of Perfection and Terse-
ness In Speech.

A Revelation of Perfection and Terso'
ness In Speech.
! A correspondent called attention the
other day to the language of the Bible
in describing a windstorm, as an ex-
ample of concise speech, as follows:
"And the winds came from the four
corners of the earth and fell upon the
house. and it was not" He mentioned
it as an evidence OF the simplicity and
iirectness of Bible language. And II
Is well to call attention to the words
and sentences of this grand old book
from time to time, for in all literature
there is none other more beautiful OF
diction, more direct or even more po-
etical than these ancient writings
found in the Bible.
Take the opening sentence Of the
Bible as an illustration, "In the be-
ginning God created the heavens and
the earth" That is the whole story
told in ten words. You cannot go far
Their back in time-"in the beginning
that is all there is TO be said upon
the subject. A modern writer would
probably consume dozen pages try
ing to tell when the creation took
place and then fail. But in this won
derful old book we have 1t stated so
any one can understand it. and in the
only way it could be properly stated
lin the beginning"
But one need not pick out Isolated
sentences or chapters. The whole book
is a revelation of perfection in speech.
The writings of Paul. for instance. can
be taken as examples of perfect die
ton. The description of the shipwreck
when he was making his way to
Rome will stand for all time as the
most thrilling narrative of a storm at
sea. His appeals to the members of
the various congregations with whom
he correspondent may be accepted as
the best writings we have upon teach
ings of the NaZarene. The poems or
psalms of David, written hundreds of
years prior to the time the New Tesla
ment was written, are still the choicest
bits of sentiment and Imagination that
can be found, inspiring in their faith
and beauty and enchanting in their
loquence.-DaytOn News.

II is no trouble whatever TO find
men who insist that the Republicans
"just have 10" nominate Roosevelt
But when you look back over what has
happened already and judge the flu
ture by the past you cannot see much
of Roosevelt chance. Here is list
of states which have gone against
Roosevelt so far: New York, Massa-
chusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Kansas and
Nebraska. and it must be admitted
those states are power in any Re
publican convention. The same influ-
ences which controlled them will be
felt in their neighboring states.
Roosevelt has New Mexico and Okla
homa and some delegates in the states
mentioned, but the ruling majority
is not for him.

What Happens When Two Countries Sever
Diplomatic Relations

| and so remained for more than thirty
years. Recently the United States
and Mexico severed official diplomatic
| relations, and, while the Vera Cruz
affair may impair the value of the
| precedent so far as this government
is concerned, certainly the disconnec-
ton by Argentina, Brazil and Chile
and later by several European gov
ernments of diplomatic relations with
any government in Mexico reveals
how in some cases the action is sim
ply passive and without bellicose ten
dency.
No confiscation of property, how
ever, is possible even were state of
war to ensue as between the United
States and Germany, for Prussian-
American treaty of 1928 specifically
provides for the protection of private
property in the event of war. Ships
might, however, be requistioned,
though at the end of the war the obi
cation to return them to original own
ers would still be alive
Technically the United States would
still be bound to preserve her neutral
ity But whether neutrality would be-
come thereafter benevolent" being
thereafter converted by circumstances
into open partially, is something
which may prove the very deterrent
of hostile or unfriendly acts on the
part of German submarine command

Two Irishmen arranged to fight a

distinctly stout, and when he saw his
Jean adversary facing him he raised
an objection. "Bedad!" he said, "I'm
twice as big target as he is, so
ought to stand twice as far away from
him as he is from me-" "Be aisy
