UNION OR DISUNlON

Once more, in other crises in countrys history, the dignity the power the obligations and the very unity of the nation have been threatened
 The dignity of the United States has been flouted by anarchy in Mexico.
 The power of the United Slaves to protect it's citizens has been defied through the massacre of Americans by Germany.
 The obligation of the United States protect sefrespecting neutral nations has been disregarded in the failure of the to protest against the invasion of Belgium.
 The very unity of the United States has been imperiled by the course of those German Americans who have attempted influence the American gov in the interest of a foreign empre-Germany.
 And while all this has happened, not only has the nation remained unprepared, but efforts for real paredness have been hindered and opposed by men in authority.
 The party power this time has been the party that throughout its long history has whstood standardization and strong nationality.
 There could be but result Believers in tionalism bound to together There other way The very foundation of the party of nationasm-of which the republican and progressive parties but two branches-was being under mined The issue which had divided them is longer living issue The real issue is the that unites them-the issue of strong, self conscious nationality. It is, in form the old issue of the revolutionary days and of the civil war=-the issue of disunion against union

And their meeting is but the symptom the signal of the reunion of all those in America who believe not only that the United States is nation, but that it must have the power and exercise the pre- negatives of of the great and humane nations of the earth.-The Outlook.

 Much of the advancement they have made within the last five six has been due. of course an excellent management and the carefully selected corps of teachers but much of it has been due the greater public interest than formerly that taken in the schools during that period.

THE BEGINNINGS OF LAUGHTER


 Laughter is an involuntary physical reaction Hughlings Jackson calls it "one of the innumerable epilepses to which is subject It is apparently universal heritage, though certain causes may op- crate more powerfully upon individual than upon another produce it. In the little child whose sen abilities uncomplicated by any mental exper- fence, unless they be racial ones, the shock of del icate touch-ticking, as we call .it-first causes laughter. Why? ets
 The claim of psychologist carries us a long leap backward to the most elemental form of animal life Beyond the savage stands the monkey and dimly far beyond him. the mousk, whose only sense that of touch Picture this great grandfather of living things lying motienless save for those ner- vous futtering, sensitive feeers extended to play the part of sight and hearing bit of seaweed bumps against them. A spasm racks the mollusks whole being, crushing him into his shell until the surprise has abated then the fact that no further attack follows brings relief.
 This is the germ of the cause of our laughter spasm-a sudden shock, instantly followed by feel ing of relief Only such shocks were followed by relief became racial memories Where relief did not follow the clam did not live to leave heritage Burges Johnson in Harper's Magazine.

teams before and after road improve ments, show some remarkable results. In one case. an increase of three hundred and eighty per cent and an- other of two hundred and thirty three per cent is found Compare and consider this profit for the farm CT with his small proportion of the road improvement cost
 Upon one road alone, distance'of twelve miles, the expenditure for dts improvement was $2S0eD.OO, and the saving in cost of hauling was. esti- mated to be $14,OOOOO per year or s5O per cent of the total exrenditure.

Though it is, of course, true ! that road improvement will not inn prove the fertility or quality of the farm, it is also true that good roads will improve the site value in it's re- lation to markets, schools, and towns Road improvements increase the possibilities of the markets by in creasing the area from which they may draw their supplies, and de- creasing the cost of haulage.

A delayed Santa Fe passenger train was further held back when firemen from the Central station strung hose across the tracks near Ninth avenue at eleven o'clock last night, in subdu- ing blaze that broke out in a small frame dwelling. A flagman halted the train just above the lines of hose, and, as new lines had been strung, the track obstructing hose was opened and the right of way cleared

Empty Peace Talk

The world should not take too seriously either the peace talk of the Germans in the reply to the Amer note or the remarks of President Poncare of the French Monday repudiating German proposals which have not been made by the way, and saying allies. Nor. should great attention be given to the almost daily London utterances, that peace until German militarism has been crushed
 While, doubt all the warning nations would make concessions for peace that none of them would have offered twenty months ago. neither the central powers the allies have been brought yet in which either would make an important surrender the other.
 In the rechstag the German chancellor has re- peatedy talked of peace on terms which the allies have construed insults and doubtless they were meant to be. The peace paragraph in the German ply by far the most meaningless feature of that document and intended in some vague way to put the German government in a better light before the neutral nations. But it afforded the United States no basis which proceed in it should desire to assume the role of peace maker
 The address of President Poincare was a charac- terstic French outpouring before lot of refugeees who he thought needed heartening The mental ef- feet intended similar that aimed at by our own Fourth of July orators on that day of the year when we too, become mercurial.
 We do not mean to say that the signs point to a greatly prolonged As matter of fact there are signs at all Peace may come with surprising sud- denness but all the talk have heard is not a har- bnger of it. It represents of mind of the bel lgerents with respect to peace.

The Ineenuousness of MT. Bryan.

John Reed in article in the current Golfers Weekly describes Mir. Bryan. whom he visited his Florida home as a childlke person. We will agree with Mir Reed. MT. Bryan has frequently, almost stantly demonstrated his ingenuousness We are apt to make the mistake of always regarding ingenious ness as admirable quality. We confound frankness with honesty. But the ngenuousness of MT Bryan is a willingness throw all of his cards the ta. ble for the edification of the public It a congeni tai inability to conceal political trickery in which he persists after he has duly apprised the public that it is trickery. He has made any conceament of the fact that he has the instincts only of the politician though he may himself believe that he is a statesman
 have a fine instance of the ingenuousness of Mir Bryan in his advice his party last Saturday to accept the issue of pacifsm for the strength would give to the party To him it appeared, matter that the party might honestly believe that preparedness would be the best for the country and that pacifism might ruin it. If the party did honestly entertain such a view and no doubt many democrats do entertain it, it lay that view aside for a contrary that in the opinion of Mir Bryan would continue the party in power Here the public frankness of MT. Bryan disclosed the small partisan politician.
 A less ingenious politician than MT. Bryan would have gone about this matter in another way He would pointed privately the party leaders the expediency of adopting catching measure He would have had them adopt it party belief which the voters might think honestly enter tained. But if it should be adopted after Mir Bryans public exposition of the probable profitable of it, it would be nearly effective it's op eration among the pacifsts.
 If one is ingenious and honest at the same time he may command the confidence of his fellow citizens in the highest degree and thus that quality adds his strength. But the ingenuousness of Mir. Bryan has almost invariably disclosed dishonesty disregard for honesty and so it has been weakness
 It has opened to the public view the hollowness of his policies beginning with free silver next anti-m periaism. government ownership all of which he ad- vaneed not because they would benefit the country but because he believed that they would appeal the people and would be beneficial to his party and him. self
