HOW MALTA BECAME GARDEN
Inhabitants Brought in Shiploads Of
Earth and Spread It over Barren
Rocks of the Island.

What Malta was like before the
Maltese found it one cannot imagine,
says the Manchester Guardian. Pre-
sumably there was some soil some
where, hidden among the little valleys
that scar the golden rock. But there
was very little soil. Most of the island
must have been just plain rock, with
nothing in particular to recommend IT.
But somewhere in the dawn of history
there came an Industrious, ingenious
race and proceeded to make the best Of
1t. They have been doing that all down
the centuries, till now they have re-
duced 1t to a fine art, and the barren
rock is n garden from end to end.
They realized, those clever Maltese,
that although they might not have
earth enough to grow their food, there
were plenty of people who had enough
and to spare. So they sent their ships
abroad, and the ships came back load
ed with just plain earth. This earth
they took and spread on the lodges Of
their rocks and sOwed their seed and
reaped their harvests and prospered
exceedingly.

Twas Ever Thus.

Here you have the story of all hui
man love. 1t is not the real woman
we adore, but an eidOlon, a phantasm
that the god in us fashions out of the
mist of our desires and the light of our
fancy, and the woman who Is, Is but a
symbol for the cloud-bride, for the
woman who is not and never will be.
1t was an eidolon, phantasm in the
likeness Of the woman you have seen,
that inspired your poet, and ii was of
the eidolon he spoke in his often too
daring, too violent verses. The eidolon
he took with him on his perilous Jour-
ney to all the heights and depths of
passion, whereas the real woman lived
safely and unsuspectingly in quite an
other spiritual latitude in Philistia and
flannels were the matter of her con-
Germ. And wherever you find une
grande passion, love and a passion
that seem more than human, be sure
that they were given merely to a
dream, u dream seen as In a mirror in
the form of the loved one. She who
lived in his house and whom you think
unworthy of your poet, she was to him
as much a stranger as she is to you.
The one he pressed to his heart, the
one into whose ear he whispered his
songs, the one who gave him all that
love could give to love, that was the
eidolon, and the eidolOn died with him.
In vain You will 20 and search for II "

Everyone who is familiar with the
career of this great Chief Justice
knows that he was an upholder OF the
citizen, and opposed to any encroach'
ments of the Federal Government on
power OF the States. He said; LAS
Commander-in Chief he THE Presidency
is authorized to direct the movements
of the naval and military forces placed
by law st his command and to employ
them In a manner he may deem most
effsctusl to harass and conquer the
enemy and he may invade the hostile
country to subject it TO the sovereign
ty OF the United States"
at can be shown by constitutional
authorities:
First-That the United States can
raise an army by conscription.
Second-Thst the President can In
wade foreign country when war is
declared, or can send troops to aid in
defense OF nation in alliance with US.
Thlrd--As far as the powers OF the
President are concerned he can send
an army raised by CONSUMPTION to the
same place he can send an army raised
by volunteers.
Gas to the law governing an army
raised by CONSUMPTION and one raised
by volunteers, there is no difference in
the power OF the Chief Executive as
Commauderin. Chief. His power is
the same no matter by what method
the army has been raised"

In one direction in order to avoid
streaks when dry. All grease and dirt

THURSDAY. AUGUST % 1917

It would be interesting to know what
Nicholas Romanoff's thoughts were as
he was being hurried through the Rus
sian steppes to that Siberia to which
he had consigned so many political
prisoners while he was Gar Of Russia.
Probably he was thanking his lucky
stars that it was only Siberia, instead
OF death, that awaited him.
Nicholas was not a bad man, as
monarchs go. Certainly his vices
were not those OF ambition or lust OF
power. He was an autocrat by acci-
dent of birth and not through desire
and, while he had many good impulses,
he was too weak in character and too
confirmed in the rut of absOlutism to
make them effective for the good OF
his country. II is not likely that he
will ever "come back" even should
Russia revert to despotism. He is not
the type OF man to tight his way back
to a throne, once lost.
We hope it is not too cold, in the
part OF Siberia to which he has been
consigned TO grow potatoes, or for
roses TO bloom in the summer. Nlcho-
las will be content to plant vegetables
and putter in the flower garden, and
let the dignities and worries OF royal
ty 90 hang. And, by the way, man
whose ambition is satisfied in watching
the lowly tuber grow and pruning a
rose bush cannot be much Of a Villain.
He is not fit only for treasons, strata
gems and spoils. Nicholas must have
a good deal OF the poet and the philoso.
pher in him.

How Greeks and Hebrews Met.

The Greeks and the Hebrews met
for the first time in the slave market.
The medium of communication seems
to have been the Tyrian slave mer-
chants. About 800 B. c., Joel speaks
of the Tyrians as selling the children
of Judah to the Grecians Joel 800.
In Ezra 81 :13, the Greeks are men,
toned as bartering their brazen vessels

The Pillar Dollar.

A pillar dollar was a silver coin of
Spain, with large pillars on one side,
coined at very early day for circu-

colonies. 1t circulated freely in the
United States for many years, and was
known as the Spanish or Mexican dol
lar. It was an honest silver dollar,
full weight and handsomely engraved.

Hogs have passed as in various
markets. Without control OF wheat
prices they might pass $40 by next
winter. Farmers who sold them at
Sl2 last fall thought they we're witness
sing and profting by a price that
would stand as record. Last spring
they passed S4. Uncontrolled wheat
prices put the price Of all other grains
TO unheard. OF levels, and recently II
has not been profitable to feed corn
TO hogs despite the high price OF hogs.
When 1t is borne in mind that with
in the memory Of middle-sged men
hogs have sold for SO per hundred, the
true dimensions of the present price
can be realized. The farmers did not
get, nor would they get in any event,
the exaggerated price for wheat.
Corn is held more generally but is
used largely for feeding, and danger
Gus situation exists when the specula-
tive price OF wheat puts corn where
the farmer is tempted 70 sell 1t rather
than feed IL.
The consumer has faced for some
time situation that has caused grow
ing uneasiness rs TO the future. The
control OF wheat would exercise a pow
erful influence upon other commodity
prices. How far price control may
have TO be extended during the course
OF the war TO prevent the largest pro-
ducing country from being victimized
by auction prices for its own produce,
nobody can say, but an emergency
exists undoubtedly, and there should
be no delay In applying the only visible
remedy.
Whole beef carcasses are selling
above 10 cents pound in New York.
Many butchers there are charging a
half dollar a pound for bacon and
smoked hams. This, it is declared
is not the market price, but represents
prohting by butchers who are willing
TO impose upon the ignorance OF Gus.
TONERS who do not keep tab upon the
market
Market prices and proflteers' prices
are growing intoIerable. In a little
while without control by the Govern.
ment, this country would be the worst
place in the world for the poor man
not because OF scarcity but because OF
an unrestrained orgy Of price raising
The remedy cannot be applied too soon.
