Our Sentimental Elections

American Voter, blushing modestly.
Il marvel at the scrupulous attention
with which you observe the words OF
your candidates, or their assistants, OF
their second cousins. l like the way you
are moved to tears by an irreliglous ana
blasphemous reference to the farmers
who were in your first army. No other
army in the world seems to have been
as sanity as these early American
farmers of yours"
But" interposed the American
Voter, I'VE have issues, too, you know.
We are, confess, moved by sentlmeh"
but we still allow some logic to influence
our decision; our countrys future Is az
stake, you know"
Exactly, sir, and that is what par
ticularly admire. In my own country
we take all these things for grah'e"'
But you know that truth must DC i.
peated and examined, and so AMER,
canism becomes the central issue. Anu
it is such a good issue that botn you'
candidates get enthusiastic about ~

Before a years end the duchesse withdrew
her objection to the marriage on condition
that it be deferred until Lafayette completed
his education at the Military Academy of
Versailles and that after marriage they live
with her at Hotel de Noailles, where also
dwelt, after the manner of the time, the dukes
sister, the famous Countess de Jesse, who la
bored twenty years to give France constitu-
ton like that Of the United States.
The children were married Of an April
day in 1774 in regal splendor at Church St
Roche, favorite scene to this hour Of mar
riages and funerals Of the old noblesse. La
fayette was sixteen, Adrienne fourteen. Com
missioned an officer in the Black Mousque-
taires, he was shortly ordered to Metz, where
came the turning point of his career. For it
was at Metz Lafayette heard of the struggles
of the American colonists and resolved to en-
list in the American cause.
Had l received word from you at Bordeaux
that you needed me, that you did not approve
Of my course" often said Lafayette to Adri-

A City Of Violence

bride of nineteen, with two-months-
old baby, was shot to death while sitting
in the open window-her brother being
one of the most influential strikers. One
old woman was frightened to death by
night raid of the police, in which the
door of her room was smashed open.
Special policemen" many of them re-
cruited from among the toughest ele-
ments of the town, got drunk, shot indis-
criminately and looted saloons, unre-
buked. And at the very beginning Of
things a strikers committee, which
begged the police to close up the sa-
looms and allow the strikers to police
themselves, met with cruel rebuff. Is
it any wonder that these men we're
goaded to madness?
And yet, in spite Of all that provoca-
ton, in spite of the wild stories of bat
ties, riots and assaults which come out
Of Bayonne, can find record Of only

three fights between strikers and police,
all of them melted by the police. Two
places were smashed up by the strikers;
one the saloon of Samuel Greenberg,
who harbored armed detectives and tele-
phoned the police where to find certain
strike-leaders, and the other Cohen's
clothing store, the rendezvous of the
gunner. But the police wrecked and
demolished six saloons owned by strike
sympathizers and smashed up twenty
or more tenements in their search for
armed weapons.

america Pays Increasing Homage to
the Memory of General Lafayette,
But Who Kmows AMght of
Adr1enne, His Wife?

Noailles-the famous Paris house Of her fore
bears-"for four hundred years the proudest
family of France outside of royalty'-thar
Adrienne de Noailes first met the Marquis de
Lafayette.
She was nine, he eleven years old, shy,
awkward, red-haired boy. Lafayette came to
the gardens on fete days from the jesuit Col
lege of st. Plessis, to which he was sent by
the old aunt with whom ne lived in the four
teenth century fortress-chateau, Chavaniac-
Lafayette, in Auvergne, in the south OF
France
The Noales children had pony and cart
and a straitlaced governess, upon whom
Lafayette played pranks. The memory of the
garden frolics remained with Adrienne and
Gilbert (as she called Americas hero) to their
final parting, Christmas Eve, 1907.
The first and only rift in the emotional Lutte
of Adrienne's parents, the Duke and Duchess
d'Ayen, was the coming Of Lafayette's guard
ian to propose marriage Of his ward with
Adrienne. Lafayette was at the time fourteen
years old, Adrienne twelve. The youthful
marquis was an orphan-last of martial
line antedating the Crusades-and indepen-
dent possessor of half million of our money.
The gay, witty, money-loving, power-grasp-
ing duke was for the marriage. His unworld-
ly duchesse opposed it. The more the duke
pleaded, firmer stood the duchesse, until the
duke betook himself to Versailles, where he
was high in the service of the King. There
he pouted in most undukely fashion for more
than year, while the little Noailles girl in
the great town house wondered what it was
all about.
The wise duchesse, meanwhile, permitted
Adrienne and the little red-headed boy, inno-
cent Of the breach they had caused, to con-
tinue play in the gardens, that followed the
orangery of the Tuleries to the fowery
banks Of the Seine Lafayette already
dreamed of romance and adventure, and in
Adrienne he had a companion responsive to his
widest fancy.

q union as ideally perfect as that OF Robert
and Elizabeth Browning.
It was the writer's good fortune to spend
two days and nights practically mistress OF
Chavaniac- Lafayette, the fortress-chateau to
which General de Lafayette retired for four
years upon his return from his last voyage in
the interest of American arms. There for
four brief years Nine. de Lafayette, with
husband and children, had her first release
from anxieties born of Americas martial
troubles.
The chateau, in its pitiable decay, exhales to-
day Lafayette's unfailing devotion to Amer
lea. It is veritable patriotic shrine, crown
ing rocky pronrontory framed by the blue
yelled mountains of Auvergne. There, on the
salon walls, together with ancestral portraits
of Crusaders field marshals and court ladies,
! found engravings Of Washington, Franklin,
jefferson, Jackson and Lafayette on Vir-
GINA battlefield, his horse held by Southern
negro.

TIME birthday of General de Lafayette
as a national holiday is passing to its
third observance What of next Thurs
day. November 2, the 159th natal day of his
helpmeet. Adrienne de Noailles, that loyal,
uncompromising champion Of American lib
erty," the woman in whose passing, to quote
an eminent French critic, the conqueror Of
CORVALLIS 'lost not only his companion but
his conscience?
Who in this day hears of the girl-wife who
smothered her tears in laughter when word
came that her nineteen-ye ar-old lover-husband
had left her to risk life and fortune in
foreign cause, hid her tears lest the anger OF
her father, the powerful Duke d'Ayen, be
intensified against the dashing young soldier
Washington was to cherish as my own son.?
In this day of loud acclaim, when no woman
of wealth or social prominence contributes
dollar TO Lafayette Kit, Franco-American
ambulance or hospital or dons the picturesque
Red Cross garb to succor French wounded
without headline in newspaper or magazine,
it is we'll to recall the silent self-sacrifice of
Americas half forgotten friend, Adrienne de
Noailles.
America, like motif in Wagnerian opera,
ran through Nine de Lafayettes stormy life.
How it played upon her heart strings, how
close was her touch, how intelligent her SYM
patty with the makers of our early annals,
are a tale never told, for histories are man
written and her portrait is not conspicuous
in galleries of women Of the French courts.
Good to recall on this 159th birthday how
in happy hours she dreamed to visit our
shores; in direst moment turned to us with
faith and hope. Did the America of her day
make good her confidence? Is the America of
our day fully alive TO its Indebtedness to the
France now fighting for its very existence?

SIX weeks ago Cornelius Roach was
the %contending man for governor in
Monroe County and in the state.
Shannon's desertion to Atkinson at
Kansas City brought the fight to an
open showdown between the Ripley
county mi and Gardner and from
that moment the chances OF the sec
rotary Of state began to wane. He
was caught between the upper and
neither grindstones and attempts to
stem the tide were futile. Hundreds
OF Democrats in Monroe county voted
against him reluctantly even when
they were convinced he had no
chance. The Mercury still believes
that he was the best equipped man in
the ace and has nc regrets for hav-
ing gone to the last ditch with him.
Colonel Gardner, II elected, could do
himself and his administration credit
by making the secretary of state head
OF the public utility commission. No
man in the state has the information
regarding public service corporations
that Roach has or would make O more
loyal or efficient servant Of the POI
pie. His friends in the party are a
multitude and they have a right to
ask this much Of the nominee.-Paris
