A SILLY ARRANGEMENT-We
send about a hundred representatives
to the U. S. senate to 1egislate for US,
and permit one Of them to block leg
islation by sheer power to talk. It is
talk that doesn't change votes but
simply defeats a vote.
We are the only nation on earth
that can be held up by cheap talk.
It is a rip-rOaring old comment on
American stateCraft.
Outside the merits of the 1egisla-
ton that has just been defeated, the
country must be pretty nearly as dis
gusted as is its president. And every
enemy the country has must be
nightly tickled.
What this country needs is power
to recall those supposedly elected to
represent it. To leave it to one state
to deny what the rest of the country
wants in the way of national legis-
latioH is about the silliest arrange
ment that could be cOncOcted. Pres
ident Wilson calls it contemplate.
It's more than that. It is ludicrOUs.

NOT CAUSE ENoUcH.-To the
Editor: We should have declared war
the day the Prussian autocrat pre-
scribed how we should paint our
ships.-A Steady Reader.
Oh no, not war! When you get to
the meat of it, it was only Wilhelm's
endeavor to dictate style Of dressing
up the ships. And what a lot of our
styles we take at European dictum.
Look at our women! Some French
woman wanted to show her shapeli-
ness, and the American girl who first
got her abbreviated skirt was it. Our
men are just as far in it, too. They'd
let whiskers grow on their faces in
40 different directions if only some
foreign prince would make it the
rage. An order on how to paint up
our ships was insulting, Of course,
but we regularly swallow a lot of
foreign insults by initiating the fool
ish fads sent over to us, and war is
not a matter of paint, but of blood.

The photograph of a miniature urn,

the war in Europe which Mrs. Isabella
Thomson Of Spaulding street has re-
eeiyed The story OF the urn, which was
carved by former Barre granite cutter
who was killed in battle last December,
is told as follows in an Aberdeen, Scot

cellent half tone of Private Clark's handi-
work; "The above is a photograph of an
urn cut by Private A. s. Clark, c com
pany, LIST Canadian division, b. +. F.,
who was killed in France Dec. Is, 1916
The only tool that Bro. Clark had was
his jack knife, and he cut it while in
the trenches in France. The urn was
sent home to his parents, who reside at
33 Richmond street, Aberdeen. Private
Clark served his apprenticeship with
Stewart & Co.. Fraser road, Aberdeen,
and after working some time in the city
he went to lberville, Canada. For two
years Private Clark was resident of
Barre, being employed there as granite
cutter. In 1915 he joined a regiment of
Canadian grenadiers, and after a short
term in the training camp he went to
France. In Barre he was well known
member of the Bonaccords, belonged to
the Iroquois tribe of Red Men, and was
a member of the Meadow Brook Golf
club Acquaintance spoke OF him as
young man of many fine qualities. He
was comedian of great ability and his

Clark was 26 years of age and, besides
his parents, he leaves two brothers, who
