venson came often Of an afternoon 10
| read the results Of his mornings work
to the assembled family. While we
sat in circle, listening in apprecla-
tive silence, he nervously paced the
room, reading aloud in his full, sonor-
Gus voice-a voice that always seemed
remarkable in SO frail man-his face
flushed and his manner rather embur-
rassed,t for, far from being overconfi-
dent abotit His work, he always seem
ed to feel sort OF shy anxiety lest; it
should not be up to the mark. i~...
In this way we heard 1.-THE Pavilion

at Monterey and read to us chapter
by chapter as they came from his
pen. Willie there he began another
story which was to have been called
"Arizona Breckenridge; or, Vendetta
In the West" This story, with it's
rather lurid title, was to have been
based upon some Of his impressions
of western America, but his heart
could not have been in it, for it was
never finished.
The name Arizona came out Of his
intense delight in the "songful, tune
full nomenclature Of the United
States, in which terms he refers to
1t in "The Amateur Emigrant." The
name Susquehanna was a special Joy
to him, and he took pleasure in roll
ing it upon This tongue, adding to its
music with the rich tones Of his voice
as he repeated it: "Susquehanna! Oh,
beautifuly' While on the train pass
ing through Pennsylvania he wrote
some verses about the beautiful river
with the ''tunefuI' name in a letter to
his friend, Sidney Colvin, Of which
one stanza runs thus:

out the wage to buy the farmers pro-
duce. And the prime consideration OF
every American; farmer should be
large home market.
While the demand for return to
the protective tariff policy is pressing,
the democratic house of representa-
tives is considering the levying of a
duty on coffee, tea, rubber and WOOL
and an increase in the rate on sugar.
We raise none of the first three, so If
they are taxed, we will pay the tax
We will not get protective rate on
wool, and we shall not object to pro-
tective rate on sugar. But why not
restore protection to all our industries,
thereby realizing considerably more
revenue, preparing ourselves for after
war conditions, and getting onto q
solid basis of prosperity And that is
what remains to be done by the re-
publicans in congress, by way of a
substitute tariff measure.

Limited Compulsory Military Service.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Slave we a
form of modified compulsory military
service in this country?
This question is prompted by the
recent action of the president, in his
capacity as commander-in-chief, in ap-
proving a sentence of court martial
passed upon Lewis O. Gardner, of the
New Mexico National Guard.
Gardner was an enrolled member in
| his state at the time of mobilization
ordered last June and he was one OF
large number who resisted being
mustered into the service of the Uni
ted States. His comrades who Joined
in this refusal at the outset, weakened
when threatened with court martial
and took the oath. Gardner remained
obdurate, stood trial and was sentenc.
ed to dishonorable discharge and to a
years imprisonment at hard labor.
This sentence has just received the
presidential approval.
Army officers regard the case as an,
important one and look upon it as ap.
plying in it's essence to the ten thOus-
and or SO of other guardsmen tfruout
the country who refused to enter the
Federal service last summer.
If this view is correct, 1t means
that every member of the National
Guard may be held for duty with the
Federal colors upon the presidents
call and to that extent provides for
compulsory military service. 1t may
also have bearing upon the situa-
ton Of those Guardsmen who have re-
turned from the border and who have
declined to continue their service in
the ranks under state authority. 1t
was generally understood that every
Guardsmen who went to Texas last
summer was obligated to six years
duty in some form. The exact nature
OF that duty has never yet been formu-
lated-but it is known that a very
large percentage Of most|of the regi-
ments brought back home have return
ed with the motto "Never Again" as
relating to service in the Guard.
iIf the present. ruling applies to
them, it is evident that compulsory
military duty is fact with more than
hundred thousand of the young men
of the country. sr 49,

NO WAR sPAWNINe PEACE.

The peace hysteria which the stock
market has shown proves that invest
ors are not geographers. The most
cursory study of the map of Europe,
in connection with the inspired utter
ances of German writer's and diplomats
regarding the terms of peace, will
show how futile is even discussion
OF the subject at present. German
plans call for shutting Russian from the
Baltic and from every other useful
set, for building a Teutonic bridge
across all the territory reaching from
the North sea to the Tigris, for con-
slant menace to the Indian empire
and to Egypt, for the retention of the
Turk in Europe; for the obliteration OF
the little nations where the war had
its origin. These are unacceptable to
the allies. They cannot prove accept
able to neutrals. When peace is made,
it will be world peace, not one that
contains the germs of future wars:
There must be no more Treaties OF
Bucharest.

diversity of opinion as to just how
far the state should go in supervision.

| Clarke, serving without pay, has sub

Briefly stated it favors the following:
1. Give the people authority, in

tricts, to pledge revenues for reason
able times for payment of cost OF
highways. 81
2. Build roads by large contracts,
| thus reducing costs. -
3. Anticipate taxes by means Of
county bonds only, which sell at low
interest rates.
4. Initiative and referendum with
the county as a unit for bonding for
permanent road building.
5. Use of the motor vehicle tax by
the county governments exclusively
for highway Improvement.
6. Provide state fund, if necessary
to secure to Iowa benefits of federal
road aid, and derive this from auto,
taxes.
T. Give power for the creation OF
special road districts, which shall in
clude all benefited districts, including
towns to which the roads Lead

WHITMAN AND DIRECT PRIMARY.

The governor of New York is one
republican who is not obsessed with
the idea that the direct primary should
be abolished. Accordingly, the oppon-
ents of the primary are casting about
to see it enough votes can be had to
pass repeal over Governor Whitman's
veto. It will be hard job, We mag
inc, and it will be still harder job
to justify such action before the peo-
pie. The primary laws of most states
are imperfect, no doubt, but they con-
tain vital germ of popular govern
ment which the people are nurturing.
The real remedy for any evils which
the primary laws contain is to make
participation III the primary compul-
sorry, or at any rate to penalize the
failure to take part in a primary as
well as in a general election.

Amsterdam, in Holland, a city Of ten
miles in circumference, is mostly built
on piles driven into the sandy subsoil,
but the flowing of the tide and the
debris Of the Amstel river have made
ninety islands, and the city has more
canals than streets. The watery ways
are traversed by over 800 bridges, so
that Amsterdam has earned the desig-
nation Of the Venice Of the North.

The proposal to endoW the Republi-
can National Committees campaign
committee with the powers and func-
Aons Of the executive committee runs
counter to the rules adopted at the
last National Convention. Iflaccepted
there would be, of course, no one to
bring action and no way to enforce
punishment for an infractfon of those
rules yet it is probably better to ad-
here to the rules. The republican par
ty is the party of law and order and it
will subserve that purpose best when
it maintains best its own laws and

CRUISING UNDER WATER.
Submarines Are Light Moving and Ar
Easily Controlled.

Ashore we make the mistake per-
haps of thinking Of a submarine as a
heavy, logy body fighting always for
her life beneath an unfriendly ocean,
whereas she Is light moving, easily
controlled creature cruising in rather
friendly element.
,fhe ocean is always trying to lift her
atop and not hold her under water. A
submarine could be sent under with
positive buoyances so small-that is,
with so little moro than enough in her
tanks to sink her that an ordinary
man standing on The sea bottom could
catch her as she came f1oating down
and bounce her up and off merely by
the strength Of his arms. Consider n
submarine under water as we would a
toy balloon in the air, say. Weight
that. toy balloon so that it just falls
to earth. Kick that toy balloon and
what does 1t do? Doesn't it bounce
along and after a few feet fall easily
down again and up and on and down
again? [.. M
Picture strong wind driving that
toy balloon along the street and the
balloon as it bumps along meeting IN
obstacle. Will the balloon smash itself
against the obstacle or what will it do?
What that balloon does is pretty much
what a submarine would do if while
running along full speed under water
she suddenly ran into shoal water. She
would go humping along on the bottom
on6 mnntino nhcfanIn if
high, she would be more likely tc
bounce over it than to smash herself
against Golfers.

A NEW SOUTHERN VIEW,

The Nashville Tennesseean, owned
by Senator Luke Lea, intimates in edi.
torial fashion that the direct election
Of president should not be repugnant
to the South. Senator Lea is to re.
tire from congress in March; so his
advocacy Of the proposal is not likely
to reach highly practical stage. The
suggestion from such source, how
ever, is significant that high-minded
Southerners are coming to think of
their election laws in terms other than
those of partisan advantage.
