WHAT! NO LORDS?

In our free, easy American way, filled
with the sense of sovereignty of our cit
izenship, in a country where every man
feels that he is the equal of all other men.
and often a little bit better than most, we
have affected to look with plying indul-
gence on our Canadian cousins as Sub
~jects." We either forgot, or pretended not
to remember. that government in Canada
is far more responsive to public opinion
than is government in the United States.
National administrations in this country ex-
tend over fixed periods. whereas ia Canada
an administration can be turned out of Of
ice at practically any time the people see
fit.
When, however. we stood on the fact that
in this country hereditary titles were un-
known. and knights and lords impossible.
we had firm footing. Now Canada proposes
itself to do away with all such tyranny.
The Canadian government has submitted
to the imperial authorities the recommends
ton that mo hereditary title shall hereafter
be conferred upon a British subject resident
in Canada" and that no titular distinction
whatever shall be bestowed upon such sub
jects except on the advice of the prime min
lister of Canada" Moreover. it is proposed
that after a prescribed period mo title held
by a British subject now or hereafter ordi-
narily resident in Canada shall be recognized
as having hereditary effect"
Thus gradually contracts the market
wherein American heiresses, whose fortunes
smell of pork or cotton. oil or steel. may dis
play their attractive wares when in sweet
righteousness they go title-hunting.-Los
Angeles Express-Tribune.

tary of Education, will conduct an

classes will be held. A male quar-
tette has been provided. Other plans

THE CONTRAST.

Senator Vardaman lets no opportunity
pass to jab the administration. while he
stands practically alone among the men in
public life. He seems obsessed with the
idea he is always right and the whole Ameri-
can nation wrong. His last jab is as fol-
lows:
-One of the disgusting signs of the times
is the avaricious reaching out for power by
every department of the administrator
branch of this government"
THE transference to the executive de-
of the government of so many
functions which belong to. other depart
ments has well nigh changed the republic,
in fact it has, into an autocracy." From
this he puts US in the same class with the
Germans, making us a complete autocracy.
In contrast with the above we quote from
the speech Of another senator from the
far west, who on the same day said:
Senators, when we have left our seats,
forever, when we are forgotten and worth
less dust, Woodrow Wilson, the statesman.

Nervousness is very often simply indi-

weak and fail to carry of the poisons of

GERMANY THE oUTCAST.

By every right of law divine.
And the noble blood as red as wine,
By the heartless thrust of the cruel steel,
And a human thin, that cannot feeli
BY every impulse, faith and love.
By the starry heavens up above,
By the sacred soil beneath the feet.
That knew each hearts last feeble beatf
By sick and saddened souls that bear
Their silent sorrow everywhere;
By histories page that bears a blot,
A crimson stain. a hellish spot,
That indelibly marks the time and place
That centuries will not erase!
By the voice of Him who softly said,
Let there be peace, who broke the bread
OF human kindness feeding all
That chase to heed the welcome call;
All. all, she's trampled in the dust
or her greed and pride, and her selfish lust,
And there she'll sit, exiled, alone,
A vulture on a blood throne,
A monument to grief and pain
And branded with the curse of Cain;
Crushed and broken. Stunned and beat,
A martyr to her self conceitl
