"Have you talked to her about it,"
"a little. She'll do anything we ask.
She's a good girl that way"
The three were still buried in discus
sion when Lorelei appeared at the
door,
I'm going over to Mabel's," she
paused moment to say. "I'll be back
early, mother"
In Peter Knights eyes, as he gazed
at his daughter, there was something
akin to shame; but Jim evinced only
hard, calculating appraisal. Both men
inwardly acknowledged that the moth
err had spoken less than half the truth,
for the girl was extravagantly. be-
witchingly attractive. Her face and
form would have been noticeable any
where and under any circumstances;
but now, in contrast with the unmodi-
fed LONELINESS of her parents and
brother her comeliness was almost
startling. The others seemed to har-
monte with their drab surroundings,
with the dull, unattractive house and
its furnishings, but Lorelei was in vio-
lent opposition to everything about her.
She wore her beauty unconsciously.
too, as a princess wears the purple of
her rank. Neither in speech nor in
look did she show a trace of her ia
theirs fatuous commonplaceness, and
she gave no sign of her mothers coldly
calculating disposition. Equally the
girl differed from her brother, for Jim
was anemic, underdeveloped, sallow;
his only mark of distinction being his
bright and impudent eye, while she
was full-blooded, healthy and clean.
Splendidly distinctive, from her crown
Of warm amber hair to her shapely,
slender feet, it seemed that all the
hopes, all the aspirations, all the long
ings of bygone generations of Knights
had Powered in her. AS muddy waters
purify themselves in running, so had
the Knight blood, coming through I'M
pleasant channels, finally clarified and
sweetened itself in this girl.
In the doorway she hesitated an in
slant, favoring the group with her
shadowy, impersonal smile. In her
gaze there was faint inquiry, for it
was plain that she had interrupted a
serious discussion. She came forward
and rested a hand upon her fathers
thinly haired bullet head. Peter
reached up and took it in his own
moist palm.
ave were just talking about you"
he said.
"Yes?" The smile remained as the
girls touch fingered.
"Your ma thinks I'd better accept
that New York offer on your account"
son mine? l don't understand"
Peter stroked the hand in his clasp
and his weak, upturned face was
wrinkled with apprehension. "She
thinks you should see the world and
make something of yourself"
"That would be NICE" Lorelei's lips
were still parted as she turned toward
her mother in some bewilderment.
You'd like the city, wouldn't you"
Mrs. knight inquired.
"Why. yes; suppose So"
"We're poor-poorer than we've ever
been. Jim will have to work, and so
will you."
''I'll do what can, of course; but
don't know how to do anything I'm
afraid l won't be much help at first"

Hero we have the tale Of a

JUDGE HORACE E. DEEMeR.

Judge Deemer. whose death occurred
yesterday. was a great judge and a
trusted citizen.
He held the confidence of the bar Of
the state which had practiced before
the court he strengthened and adorned
for nearly quarter century of incum-
bency. by his learning and high under
standing of the functions Of such a
court and its membership: he gained
and kept the confidence Of the people
Of Iowa by his high sense OF citizen
ship He stood before the state as a
Trustworthy judge Of high aims and
at,ainments and citizen with true
deals Of citizenship, He was mark
I'd and remarkable man. \ judge OF
the supreme court at s. his appoint
men, was justified 10y The approval
which KEEP. him m that position until his
death q, y and by his leadership in
law. letters and citizenship.
Judge Deemer has set a standard for
the supreme bench that can not De ig-
nored excep; AZ loss OF public conf
dence in appolntlve power and in the
court Itself. His successor must meas
ure up 20 the standard. Insofar as 1t
: humanity possible he supreme court
should De placed above the victssitudes
and purposes Of politics and beyond
influence Of special interests and the
appeals Of individuals.
Judge Deemer's career n The su-
preue court Of this state, his poise, his
personal character and sense Of citi-
zenshlp have set precedent that can
not be safely ignored in the appoint
.reSt Of his successor.

two respects. They interfere with nom
contrab bend trade with Germany, which
is supposed to be free even in war
time They deny the right of neutrals
TO trade with each other without the
o. k. Of the British government on
every transaction. The British gov
eminent does not claim that it's cen
sorship Of neutral trade is in accord
with the law OF nations. The claim Is
that ii is justified as result Of the
German blockade memorandum OF Jan.
81 mad similar enactments Of other
hostile countries. Which can not fail
TO offer reminder that the German sub
marine blockade in turn is alleged tt
be justified by the British starvation
blockade" of Germany
If there were bad feeling between
Washington and London the present
order or the one closing a large part
Of the North sea to neutral vessels,
which Immediately preceded il, might
serve as prov0cation to war. With bad
feeling between Washington and Ber-
lin, we are going to calmly accept the
British restrictions of our rights at
sea AMI NEE; :hc restrictions imposed.
Ii American ships, however. should
defy the British order, as they are
defying the German order. the trouble
potentiaiity might be greatly increased.
The natural assumption is that the
British navy would use whatever de-
gree of force might be necessary to
enforce its assumption of arbitrary
control over neutral shipping.

A GRAVE INCIDENT.

The sinking Of a liner, alesedly
WITHOUT warning and by German
submarine, accentuates situation al
eaGy sufficiently dangerous. Il brings
this country another step closer 20
war for there were Americans on
board the ship. While awaiting the
complete facts Of the incident and
their bearing upon American policy,
the situation adds gravity TO stu
alton already grave and potent with
possibilities.
Ii is matter Of congratu!ation among
the American people that congress is
still in session. II We are 10 De in
voIyed IN this world madness it should
come 9 the deliberate act Of the rep
resentatives of the American people.
For when il shall come if il does come
we shall all bear its burden and We
should all share the responsibility Of
its Inauguration. We must be a united
people then, asking few questions and
those only Of our own country.
That congress will move with eau
ton and deliberation is practically GER
tain. Letters from prominent middle
west congressman and senators are
assuring as 10 that. The danger has
been long continued and has afforded
time for careful consideration on the
part of the members OF both houses.
There IS no great likelihood that con-
gress wiN be carried off It's feet but
the likelihood that it Will proceed
carefully and with proper deliberatioI.
1t is well that congress is on the

declaration Of hostilities it should pc

THosAs A. EDISON.

Thomas A. Edison is a sbeepless
genius who invented the short-watt
method of measuring electricity, which
has made the electric light business in
this country more profitable than nun

Mr.. Edison ia conceded by be.h
press and public to be one of the best
and most fertile inventors the United
States has ever produced. He formed
the habit in early youth and has never
gotten over it He began life as a
train boy, and sold the mnexpurgated
yell0w-backed novel and the plastic
gum drop with great success. But he
was not satisfied. Something Within
him, which has been bothering him
ever since, impelled him on and led
him to become n telegraph operator,
when he first came in contact with the
kind of electricity which produces
head-end collisions.
After Mr.. Morse had learned the
Morse alphabet so that he could tell
dash from semi colon, his inventive
genius began to break out faster than

he wanted something that nobody else
had thought Of he would go out and
invent it and then cry Eureka" after

HENRY ClkMs' CONCLUSIONS.

Henry Clews prominent for years as
q writer upon finance, asserts that the
German submarine campaign can not
possibly starve England or in fact keep
up with the new construction Of ships
now going on in every nation in the
world under the stimulus Of war prices
for ocean freight. He argues that the
AVERAGE number Of merchant vessels
going and coming from English ports
Approximate 1900 per week, whereas
the destruction of vessels by submar-
ines SO far has averaged only 80 per
week and will decline in his opinion as
defense measures are increased
Sir Edward Carson, speaking in the
THouse of Commons, recites that the
records show that 7S per cent Of all
merchant ships attacked by submar-
ines escape II they are armed with
guns for defense and they are now be-
ing armed as fast as possible
Clewe argues that there are 400 new
steel merchant ships under consruc-
ton in the United States today besides
hundreds more IN Japan, Norway and
other countries and that Great Britain
Is doing her utmost, having always
been the largest ship builders in the
world. Sir Edward Carson told the
English parliament that not a single
ship in Great Britain's ship building
yards would be left unoccupied by a
construction crew during this month
so it is certain that replacement of
merchant shipping thruout the world
Germany should keep up her destruc-
ton at the rate of thirty a week for
six months her toll Of 750 boats would
| not equal the new launchings.
AS to our own preparedness for war.
Clews gives us some comfort amid the
| gloom Of the Chicago Tribune. st is
well to remember" he said, that our
! country can take care Of itself, come
what will, better than any other nation
on earth. Thanks to Almighty God
for giving us superabundance OF
everything for self-support"

I'll bet anything that's the end OF the

I'll find it on the hearth when get to

| it had. There 1t was on top of the
