LIQUORiLEGIsLATION

TNE FIGHT against the traffic in intoxicating drinks has l been renewed by the Prohbionis element with tre- mendous energy The has been seized the basis of the campaign and the arguments which have been nfuen a in preventing prohibition laws have been turned against the business 23a
 The direction in which legislation is being sought is in of the grain supply which would consist Tn for bidding it's for intoxicating drinks The prohbions ad vocates have begun demand legislation the claim that labor will be needed that the labor employed in the liquor industry can be used in more productive pursuits
 The large amount farm products used and the large amount of help employed have always been strong arg ment upon the side of maintaining the industry.
 The movement in Washington seems to be largely conduct ed in the interests of the great manufacturing and is much less extent than formerly moral propaganda The arguments based economic grounds
 the decision to be made entirely by the West and South prohibition would be matter of not more than few months. N Hf1 @
 The action of the New York members in the Democratic proves that this end of the country prepared to stand the buwarks for their defense Most of New England will be arraYed with New York. as
 Whether New York and New England get help enough the West and South to the status quo to condition somewhat short of absolute prohibition it matter which must soon be disclosed. s43

GEN. SCOTT

Kentucky, the native state of Lin- coin and of many other great men who have played important roles in critical periods of American. history, Is also the birth place of Major Gen. eral Hugh Lenox Scott, the chief of staff of the United States army. Gen era1 Scott is in his sixty-fourth year. and will reach the retiring age next September. He is West Pointer Of the class of '76, and in that year gained his first experience of warfare with an expedition against the belli- cose sioux For many years he lived among the redskins, sometimes fight ing them and sometimes commanding them, but always studying them, their languages and their habits. For years he commanded a cavalry troop of Apache Kfowa and Comanche In- dlans. He is the author of a work on the sign languages of the Indians of the Plains. On the Indian reser. vations he is still known as Mole Tequop, which means "the Man Who Talks With His Hands"
 It may safely be said that General Scott has been as deep student of modern "civilized' warfare as he has been of the Indians-and he prob ably knows more ahou. the latter than any other paleface now alive. His industry is notoriously prodigi- ous, and he is almost an Edison in his capacity for hard mental work and deep concentration. His success in pacifying the Indians and quieting the Moros, the rebellious tribesmen of the Philippines, prove him a man of tact as well as of energy
 General Scott is an American to the fingertips. His father came of good old American stock, and his mother was a great-granddaught of no less a parsonage than Benjamin Franklin. General Scott's home is at Princeton, and the university of which President Wilson was so long the head has con- ferred an honorary degree upon him in recognition of his work as an eth- nologist among the American abori- zines.

ELARD

1 It was just century ago, in 1917. l that the remains of Pierre Abelard, the great French philosopher, and the body of his immortal mistress. Heloise, were deposited side by side beneath a mausoleum in the ceme- l tery of Pere la, Chaise. To this famed Partisan city of the dead have come 1 thousands of sentimental pilgrims, not to honor the philosopher, but to weep over the grave of the unhappy lovers.
 It will be just seven and three quarters centuries tomorrow since tAbelard died, and he had been a corpse for 675 years when his dust was removed to it's last resting place at Pere la Chaise. The savant was sixty three at his death His body was delivered ito the ever-faithful lHeloise, and by her inferred at the Paraclte, where she herself was after wards buried by his side. In 1792 the remains of the two lovers were removed to the Church of Nogent sur Seine. In 1890 they were exhumed and placed in the garden of the Mu- see Francais in Paris. Finally, in 1917, they found a final resting place in pere Ia Chaise.
 l 4 oA <AOCAcA O SCOuCIlOll OI HIS 4dl1 pupil, Heloise, and the terrible re- venge exacted by her uncle, Fulbert, many volumes have been written. Of Abelard the scholar less is popularly known. although he was, as M Cous- in said, "a refined spirit in a bar barous age, founder of a school, and almost the martyr to an opinion .'' Cousin continues: But of all his titles, that which gives him a separ- ate place in the history of the hu- man mind, is his invention of a new philosophical system, and his appli- cation of this system and of philoso- phy in general to theology"
 The present year marks the tercen- tenary of the first publication of the collected works of Abelard-works which have profoundly affected the thought offthe world through all the 1 centuries which have elapsed since they were written. Abelard ranks among the greatest of those medieval pioneers who dared to doubt and to investigate, and who sought to intro- duce reason into the domains of au- thority and blind faith.
