BAD RUBBISH.

Senators James A. Reed and William A. Stone, of Missouri, known respec- lively as the Hon. Jim Reed and Gum shoe Bill' are now beginning to feel the mailed fist of the constituency back home. The Democrats of "ole Missouri have called a. convention for the purpose of formally denouncing these two gentlemen of the Upper House. After that has been done the two gallant warriors against popular measures of the day will be asked to hand in their resignations.
 "Jim' Reed and Gum shoe Bill'
 Stone should go. They have proven themselves unfit to occupy exalted stations in the United States Senate when the nation is at war. They should step down and give their places to men who are in sympathy with the 1 fundamental principles of the nation, | who are willing and worthy to advance 1 the causes of Democracy, who are re- l sponsive to the will of the people. l Connecticut, by the grace of God, is | spared the humility OI ldNlnS SuC1l men as representatives, or, misrepre- l sentatives Our two Senators stand ] for the sturdy and stalwart ambitions l of free people.
 While the nation should rejoice in the action of Missouri Democrats in
 calling for the resignation of Jim '' 1 and "Gum-shoe Bill,' it must regret l that Wisconsin Republicans have not
 as yet taken steps toward the official | beheeading of Senator Robert Marion 1 LaFollette He too has been remiss
 in his duty In fact, he has been the
 chief opponent of everything that had ! the recommendation of the Adminis- 1 tration and the backing of the people, ! There are others, of course, who might
 be sent out of the Senate with the two 1 Missouri Senators; but Bob" La
 Folette should go along with the first ! allotment To do away with this
 ignoble triumverate would indeed be
 good riddance to bad rubbish.

 Ill be enough to go around.
 Corn, oats, rye, barley, wheat, pota- Ses,-count 'em. There are six sta los that the race cannot very well et along without. And we have hern in plenty,-all except the wheat. hat is the only stacker crop report d so far. The corn is fine. There
 plenty of it, and more coming.

We will have bnough to make rye bread for all the hermans in the world; but we are not totng to give any to the Germans. We are going to keep it expressly for hose who are fighting the battle of lem ocracy against the champions of kutocracy. And barley,-Uncle Sam Is pleased. He is more than pleased with the barley crop, for it is one of he finest that ever came out of the kround. And more power to 1t.

HibernAtiOn.

In the state known as 'hibernatjon" respiration practically ceases. Diges- tion seems to follow respiration, and the waste of tissue Is reduced to the smallest possible limit, the circulation in the meantime being only jut suffi- cient to sustain life. It has been ascer- tained that animals can endure the loss of tissue until it amounts to 40 per cent of their normal weight Should the weight be reduced beyond that limit the result is death. It is the stored up fat within the body of the hibernating creatures that sustains them during the many months of cold weather.

But in the days of his preparation the kaiser did not consider that a David was shooting ideas into crude American youths in the historic shades of Princeton, and doing 1t with such dex- terity that he was becoming a past master in the art of putting light in dark places and making truth recog- nizable even by those who refused to recognize 1t at all.

 Tn FirJ,t for the IT 6 A

10 F1&I1C TOT the U. S. "A.
 Many in this city remember the Rev. Father George J. Donahue who not long ago was curate at St. Mary'a church. The New York Sun of TO- cent date printed an extraordinary letter from Father Donahue to a young girl of his parish. Miss Mary J. Newman, of Hartford. had written for comfort and counsel after her brother had gone to the front. The response of the priest is subjoined:-'
 Shelton, Conn.,, Aug. 31.
 My Dear Mary: Our Catholic girls. by the grace of God, are usually so brave as we'll as good that I dread to guide then.. Their superiority makes me nervous dispenser of counsel. To discover one in a.passing distress sim ply accentuates my timid1ties and multiplies my fears.
 Your letter is but one more contri- button to literature that is born in times that are full of strife. It makes clear how far reaching is the horizon and how broad Is the sky that encom- passes the victims of war. It is ob- vious however, that all the soldiers are not in the trenches and that soma of the rarest heroes wear braided nalT ana UWcll III 1luSeIlS DdLClS- fields may be geographically located, but sacrificially all of them have their roots struck in countless homes whose charity has been stabbed by the departure of son or brother to the front. The thin line of battle consists not merely of brave boys clad in khaki but of the red courage .in the heart. tears on pallid cheeks and prayers on fervent lips of gentle mothers and sisters at home.
 In other words, Mary, you have been drafted. Meet each day with burning prayer, face bravely the duties of the hour, and leave all else' to God. Whatever may be hidden in the folds of the future, you may Joe certain that Tom will do honor to the drab colors of the American soldiery, and on the morrow, whether we look for him in the dull gray shadows of defeat or see him in the dull gray shadows of defeat or see him come forth smiling in the white light that is born of victory, you may again be certain that your brother will have been faithful to his God. All of which is a splendid benediction, and therefore filled with consolations~ S
 Sincerely,
 G. J. DONAHUE.
