GREEK VILLAGE OF D'ARTA
INSURED BREAD SUPPLY

ATHENS, June 23.-"This is the
chief of police at d'Arta", explained a
man at the other end of the wire
when the telephone rang in the de-
partment of the interior offices to-
day. d'Arta is village of 500 not
far from Athens.
We've held mass meeting today
in our town and decided that we will
not allow the expectation of grain
from our village. Five hundred of
us voted to that effect"
Inquiry developed that, when the
British grain blockade began against
Greece, the village banker in d'Arta
laid in large supply of grain AMI
flour and today d'Arta is one of the
very few villages in Greece that has
all the flour it wants. The village
folks determined to follow the plan
of the great nations in similar situa-
tions but the small grain supply of
Greece is so unevenly distributed that
the chances are that d'Arta may be
forced by the department of the in
terror to part with some of it's horde,
in spite Of the village resolution.

HUGHES AND IOWA

Mr.. Hughes will carry Iowa i'm
pressively. In the first place he was
the strong second choice to the Iowa
candidate not only at the convention
but in the minds of the voters. Had
Hughes been n candidate in the pri-
maries he would have polled vote
only second to the Iowa candidate
and a close second at that; for the
average Iowa Republican favored
Hughes as candidate for the presi-
dency. That same Republican ia
vored him over Taft four years ago.
Hughes will get the solid Republican
vote in Iowa freely and without
question. There is not and never has
been any question of it.
1t is to be given consideration that
Hughes is most excellent factional
compromise candidate. In this state.
What the average voter knows about
Hughes pleases him and hs doesn't
know or hold anything against him.

ONLY MULE LINE IN AMERICA

MIDDLEToWN, O.-June 20. =
Middletown claims it has the. only
mule car in passenger service in the
United States. The car operates be-
tween the Big Four depot and the
business district.
Two mules. one dilapidated car and
a few blocks Of track are all that is
left of the system, which was built in
1879. In 1894 the sale Of the line
for $4,000 was stopped on the ground
that the price was too low. In 1914
the line was sold for junk TO Isaaek
Silverman for $450. But Silverman
found that carrying passengers was
profitable. So the mule car is still
doing budHSss.

DEMOCRATIC HOUSE OF GLASS

Most ingenious was the move of
the Democrats at St. Louis to pass
platform resolution against taking
presidential candidates from the fed
eral bench.
Note the " federal" That is the
sole frail bridge their claim on con-
sistency.
It mist be set up, you see, be-
cause the same white-robe Democ-
racy which now holds up it's hands
at the idea of invading the bench
did itself, openly and publicly, in the
year of grace 1904, commit the crime
aforesaid 1t invaded the highest
bench, not of the Union, but of the
greatest state in the Union. 1t nom
mated Justice Alton B. Parker of the
New York Court of Appeals while
he was on the bench; it notified him
by wire while he was on the bench /;
it received his acceptance of the NOM
ination while he was on the bench; I;
and for month thereafter it worked
out plans of campaign with him while
he was yet on the bench.
The Parker case was Identical with
the Hughes case in its before conven-
ton aspect. In the after-convention
aspect it leaves Mr.. Parker in vul-
nerable position, while it instantly
frees Mr.. Hughes of reproach. Justice
Parker held his seat after he became
a nominee; MIR. Hughes could not
resign quickly enough.
1t is pure buncombe for the Demo
Gratis to talk of a plank barring
judges from accepting executive nom
nations until they shall have been
off the bench for five years"
The thing is wrong in principle,
in the first place. We have always
contended that the republic should
never bar itself from the right of
picking for its servant the man whom
it may feel to be its supreme need,
whether that man happens to be on
the supreme bench, whether he might
already have held two terms in the
presidency or whether he may have
pledged himself to but single term.
The democracy should always be at
liberty to command the service of
any essential servant. Suppose. for
instance, that some of these artifi-
cial restrictions had prevented the
United States from giving Lincoln d
second term in the midst of the civil
war.
That the Democrats, the champ
ions of the sovereign gulory of the
states, should now put themselves
in the position of defending the fed
eral bench from impious assault, but
of letting the state bench go hang, is
one more amusing angle to their con-
sistency.
! We advise the Democrats to let
the purity bench issue alone

soon developed into one of the most
important tungsten finds ever made
