Ono hundred and twenty years ago Washington, in his farewell me sag, lei: us the following direction for our security, which every American should read anew in view of the Presidents suggestion that we abandon our historic policy Of independence.
 The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is, iu extending our commercial Tela- tions, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as We have already formed en- agreements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop.
 Europe has a set of primary in terests, which to us have none, or a very remote, relation. Hence, therefore, it must be ,unwise in us to implicate ourselves by arti- ficial ties, in the ordinary Vicissi- tudes Of her politics, or the ordin- ary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enemities.
 Our detached and distant situa- tion invites and enables us to pur- sue a different course. If we re- main enc people, under an efficient Government, the period is not far ofS wLeu we may defy material tn- jury from external annoyance; when We may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality We may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously respected; when bel ligereu. nations, under the !mpossi- bility of making acquisitions upon US, will not lightly hazard the giT- ing up provication; when we may chooss peaee or war, as our interest guided by justice, shall counsel.
 Why forego the advantage of as peculiar a situation? Why quit
 
 our own to stand upon foreign ground ? Why, by Intervening our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the tolls of European ambition, riYalship, interest, hu- nor, or caprice?
 Tt is our duty to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, l mean, as we are now at lib ertY to do it; for let me not be un-7 derstccd as capable of patronizing iusidelity to exsting engagements. l hoIs the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best pol icy.
 Taking care always to keep our selves, by suitable establishments, on 8 respectable defensive posture, wo may safely t-pst to temporary

A New York judge has decided
that when a wife "frisks' her
husbands clothes while he is
sleeping, she must return one
half of it on demand to save her
self from prosecution. While
this decision looks favorable to
man, it means his undoing. His
wife now has legal authority to
frisk him provided she returns
half she finds, and where in
former days she took only what
she wanted, now she will take it
all, and later return half of it
