so big it was murder to put on my
shoe. I used salves and other things
that ate off more of the toe than they
did the corn. I'd cut and dig with
knives and scissors, but now no more
fooling for me. Two drops of 'Gets-It'
did all the work. It makes the corn
shrivel and get so loose that you can
just pick it right off with your
fngers!'
There has been nothing new dis

We presume that Senators La Fol
lette and Stone thought they were
doing their country great service
when they blocked the legislation
that President Wilson asked for. We
presume that they were sincere. But
there is something wrong with sys-
tenn whereby handful of men can
prevent vast majority from carry
ing out such a programme as pro-
posed last week in congress. The
poll of senators showed that the SEN
ate stood 76 to 13 in favor of back
ing the president up. The thirteen
completely ruled the 76. Now it
seems squarely up to the majority of
IS to enact such rules that such a
thing will be impossible in the fu-
ture, and then go ahead and do what
the president asked to be done. We
have learned from past experience
that when Wilson asks congress for
anything, that thing is needed, and
needed mighty bad.

NEUTRALS DON'T STOP WARS.
With One Exception, Modern Con-
fiicts Have Been to the Finish.

Just how much ice does a neutral
cut with belligerents at war? Open
your history and see.
Only one great war in recent times
was ended by neutral. No neutral
ever ended one OF Frederick the
Greats conflicts.
The Napoleonic wars ran over a
period of 20 years. No campaign
had period inserted after it by a
neutral power.
We fought the American Revolu-
ton to a conclusion, as the seven
years war and the accompanying
struggle between France and Eng
land had been fought to finish
never needing the word of a neutral.
Bismark engineered three impor-
tant wars against Denmark, Austria
and France. He won them all, and
stopped when he was ready, but not
when a neutral suggested it.
Neutrals talked and suggested an
end of the Civil war long before Lee
and Johnston surrendered their
armies, but Lincoln's idea was that
a peace that left the real issue unset
tied meant that tens of thousands of
soldiers would have died in vain.
The Crimean war ended when the
belligerents got good and ready. So
did the Boer war end when one COM
batant was unable to continue.
Theodore Roosevelt is the only
neutral who has ended an important
war in $50 years. He won the Nobel
peace prize for bringing Japan and
Russia to the United States to stop
their battles.-Girard, in the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger.

A measure has been offered in the
Ohio legislature to forbid any news
paper from printing an advertise
ment of any financial proposition un-
less the same has been passed on and
approved by a financial department
of the State government. We don't
believe in so much legislation regu-
lating newspapers, but, at the first
glance a measure of this kind COM
mends itself. We don't think any
reputable newspaper would print an
advertisement of any proposition
which is known to be doubtful, but
it is a fact that many people are
swindled by alluring advertisements
of disreputable financial schemes. If
the people would first investigate for
themselves, no such measure would
be needed, but as the public general
ly loves to be buncoed, it is hardly
to be hoped that they will ever do

fore I had fairly opened my Office l

stealing a horse. This elated me
very much, for l was not aware at
the time that the case had been re-
fused by all the other lawyers in the
town, as defending a horse. thief was
not a thing to be desired if man
valued his life. The case came for
trial before an old judge and jury
composed of bewhiskered ranchers.
There was no doubt that the man was
guilty, but he had a number Of
friends who were willing to swear
anything, and l thought it my duty
to make the best possible use of them.
They We're all willing to swear that
the defendant was 40 miles away
from the spot when the horse. was
stolen, and the prosecution was un-
able to break down their testimony.
l saw that l was going to free my
client, so it was with satisfied air
that I saw the jury leaving the room
to prepare the verdict. They were
back in five minutes, and the old
judge asked them if they had sue
ceeded in arriving at verdict.
We have answered the fore
man, as he shifted the gun he car
ried on his hip. we find the de-
fendant not guilty, an recommend

The Singing Quail.

1t is, perhaps, a matter OF some
chagrin as we'll as of satisfaction, to
the quail to learn that he has been
put into the list of song birds. He
realizes, of course, that we have, at
last, done the right thing by him, but
there is considerable humiliation in
the thought that it had to be left to
us-that sing as he might he was un-
able to establish his reputation as a
songster. 1t is not his voice which
has saved him from being eaten, but
that, on the contrary, sympathetic
world, in order to have an excuse for
not eating him, has decided to pre-
tend that he has a voice which is
worth protecting.
Things do mix themselves up that
way and there seems to be little JUS
tice in such a mixture. AS matter
Of justice the quail should long ago
have been recognized as a song bird
for the sake of his song. 1t is only
that part of the world that hears with
it's ears alone that has never recog-
nized the quail as a song bird. Of
course the quail has known all along
that he was song bird. He knew
it from the way he felt when he whis-
tied his bit of melody as he scurried
about among the meadow grasses or
swung over the tall spears of wheat.
Those of us who know less perhaps
of musical values as registered by
our ears have learned to hear with
something inside of us and we have
heard the quail sing many and many
a time.
We have wandered along country
roadsides where rail fences were a
tumble of blackberries, elders and
wild roses, and have listened to the
quail's persistent lifting call from the
fields behind the fences. 1t has set
us whistling bob White" and led US
into a ridiculous duet that began and
ended with the same delightfully."-
senseless words Such duet was,
maybe, not musical thing to hear,
but it was a musical thing to take
part in, and those of us who have
Joined in the quails song have never
considered him anything else than a
song bird. He has always seemed to
be full Of song, although he never
got beyond the beginning of it as far
as vocal expression was concerned,
and there is many a bird with long
er repertory that knows nothing of
what he sings. 1t is, of course, a
singing heart that counts with bird
as with the rest of US, and though
cat bird may trill and staccato his
limitations from morning till night he
is not so good a song bird as is the
quail with his two happy notes.-In-

A Wife's Repaltee.

dinner at a fashionable cafe few
nights ago, when one of them who is
somewhat a jester, called the waiter
and said:
John, go and call Main-on the
phone. If woman answers, it will
be my wife. Tell her that I instruct
ed you to say that l am in the police
station for a few hours and will not
be at home for dinner. Say to her
that the possibilities are that l shall
not be at home tonight. Understand
me, sir?"
John winked a couple of times in
a knowing way, bowed defferentially
and suggested:
''Supposin -
"Supposing nothing, sir. If she
asks who is talking. tell her it is the
turnkey at the central station, and
she'll never know who told her the
lie"
The waiter ambled away and was
presently seen to be having a good
deal of fun with himself. The jester
inferred that it might have some
thing to do with his case and called
him over.
