TWO NATIONS SUPPORT HER.

OF all the members Of the reigning
house of Russia the only one who
seems destined to retain her appanage
Is Emperor Alexander HI's sister.
Grand Duchess Marie. married to King
Edwards sailor brother, the Duke Of
Edinburgh, who died as the sovereign
Duke of Sake Coburg and Gotha.
This fact was brought to light the
other day in the house of commons,
when the question was raised as to
whether the widowed duchess. who ha $
been in Germany since the beginning
of the war. was still In receipt of an
annuity from the British crown.
Lord Robert Cecil in reply explained
that the duchess and grand dachess
had a British civil list of $4,000 a
year and that she was entitled to this
according to the terms of a special
treaty concluded between Great Brit
ain and Russia on the occasion of her
marriage. BY this selfsame treaty.
which is entirely distinct from the or
binary marriage contract. the Russian
government bound itself to pay to the
grand duchess as long as she lived an
appanage Of $4,000 q year. And this
Russia. no matter whether a republic
or a monarchy. will have to continue
to pay az long as 1t does not declare
her insolvency and follow the example
of Germany In scrapping all its most
solemn International agreements and
tgeaties.-New York Sun.

CORN AND THE COOK.

Right where ''Tama jim Wilson,
secretary Of agriculture left it twenty
years ago. the question recurs OF
teaching the English to eat American
corn. 1t is matter timely both to
the food crisis in Britain and to the
newiy-warmed and strengthened reia-
tons between two great nations at.
tached to one mother tongue,
For many years we Of the new world
have furnished to our profit the roast
beef OF old England. There will be
more than a commercial happiness If
we may extend into a complete Anglo
American service the product OF our
eornfields. Economy. good health. and
good cheer go with the range Of corn
foods. from the pones Of Dixie to the
InJun pudding Of New England Not
forgetting the mush and milk which
not infrequently marks the end OF a
perfect dietary day.
One thing, nevertheless, is vital to
the issue. That thing Is the cook. Not
invariably over here does culinary eff
ficiency meet fully the rich potentiali-
ties Of the yellow grain. Still. we do
not have good corn cooks, and we
know better than to misjudge the meal
when a fault is presented from the
kitchen. If Britain is to be persuaded
to take to the corn. it must be through
the able cooperation of a blue ribbon
American artist at the range.-Eew

MARRIAGES ON THE DECREASE.

The Rev. DR.. Waldo Amos of Hobo
ken. preaching in Holy Trinity church,
Brooklyn. predicted that by 1910 half
the women in the country will be self
supporting. and that marriages will
gradually decrease in number.
lit is 4 startling fact that young
women are not marrying today" he
said. Hundreds OF thousands are CO.
ing into business. The supreme mis-
sion Of women in life should be to
become mothers and to make homes.
The objection that many have to be-
ing married is that they become de-
pendents." -.
Doctor Amos said that all through
New England there are many villages
which are known as "she villages"
The men have left for the large cities
in the hope of gaining wealth.
Men are largely responsible for the
failure of women to marry" he said.
MANY men are too busy making
money to marry. or refuse: TO marry on
small salaries. This has forced women
into business.
statistics show that i'll 1900 one out
Of every five women was self support

and, by 1910. one out OF every two will

INDIANS WEAR sPEcTAcLEs.

Members of the Ute tribe Of Indians
In Utah have recently acquired the
habit Of wearing spectacles. much to
their own delight and to the profit OF
an optical salesman who was in their
vicinity. 4 chief started the style by
purchasing a pair of yellow-le lens
glasses from the white man and In a
few days SO many Indians demanded
similar adornments that the drum
mer's supply was exhausted and he
had to send for more. 1t is said that
there are nearly 200 men. women. and
children in this tribe who now possess
spectacles. Some indicate their social
position by wearing three pairs at a
time. Glasses with heavy tortoise
shell rims have proven popular. These
Indians were on their way to attend a
powwow in New Mexico. and 1t Is
thought that they wanted their new
monuments especially for this oc-
casion.-Popular Mechanics.

JAIL FOR THESE TRAITORS.

II is hard to believe that the maxi
ers of munitions have attempted to
evade $l0,O00.000 in the profits tax by
means OF lying returns to the govern
ment Yet there can be no doubt as
to the facts. These scavengers of war
have been caught red handed By the
revenue agents. Not satisfied with
swollen profits that have made them
rich beyond their dreams, they seek
to rob the government in time of war
These men should be treated like
traitors. Their form OF treason is more
despicable than the betrayal OF the
nations secrets. A spy. at least,
needs courage. The munition crooks
have none OF that. Most of them pose
as business leaders and pratc about
patriotism which in their particular
case is, as DR.. johnson said. the last
refuge OF scoundrels"
We do not know what penalty will
be fixed for them but it cannot be
t6S severe. They should be imprisoned,
Of ze. Inundated, disgraced, os-
traciaed~by all decent people. Their
names should be printed so that the
country may Rngw their shame.
There is evidspce that Goldsmith
was right when he'grote:
Where wealth Nd freedom
reign contentment fails:
And honor sinks where COM
merce, long prevails,
The president should be gspnted ex-
traordinary powers in dealing with
these grafters. Heavy punishment for
them will alone satisfy the country
that this war is to be conducted with
out favoritism.

to be the wealthiest and strongest or
ganization OF Its kind in the world.
Its membership Is almost two million.
In 1918 is possessed IL hospitals and
n medical corps of 1855 physicians.
pharmacists and nurses. It's capital
fund amounted to IL million dollars
and it's real property was valued at
much more. The receipts of the So
cicty are far in excess of the expen-
ditures. In the early period of the
war. relief corps were dispatched to
England, France and Russia, but they
have since returned to Japan. The
society has done considerable work in
the supplying Of bandages and other
medical necessities to the entente
powers.

He doesn't even have to shout

The millionaires and such as well,
Must stop at once right in the track
And needn't sass or answer back.
Or if they do he'll make 'em quail
And maybe chuck 'em all in Jail!

To boss the wealthy auto mob.

FOR BETTER ROADS.

We are glad to see forward look
ing movement for better roads in
Montana. Road building has become
a science. 1t is a work for engineers
and it costs money. 1t is not merely
necessary but it is the best invest
ment that can be made for the de-
velopment of the state The i'm
portance of good roads seems to have
been well grasped by the members
of the state Highway Commission and
the county commissioners, who re-
Gently met In Helena, and decided up
on practical campaign for roads that
will be both good and lasting.
The old-fashioned good roads day
was almost a joke. The work accom-
plished was of trifling value and aft
err a few months the roads were as
bad as ever. The farmers made a sort
of a bee to which the county politi-
clans would come and meet for
the fixing of their fences for the next
campaign. There was much good
fellowship, plenty of drinking and
smoking and comparatively little
work, and the roads sagged back into
Il series of mudholes for the next year.
The oncoming Of the automobile put
the good roads movement on the right
basis. In ten years the state of New
York has expended $75.000,O0 on good
| roads and the returns in benefits have
been many fold that sum. The move
