Briefly Answered.

The English manner of today. Of
what are called the classes, is the
growth Of only century or so. John
Galsworthy writes In the Yale Re-
view. There was probably nothing at
all like It in the days Of Elizabeth OF
even Of Charles III. The English man.
ner was still racy when the inhabitants
Of Virginia, as we are told. sent over
TO ask that there might be dispatched
to them some hlerarchical assistance
for the good Of their souls. and were
answered "D-n your souls grow to
bacco."

SUPPLY OF RUNNING WATER
Pedal Attachment for Washstands 10 the Latest Contrivance to Insure
 Purity of Liquid.

Hot or cold water flows from the same spigot and the handles on the washstand faucet have been rendered obsolete by new arrangement. which provides foot control for the tow of water Sanitary cleanliness is the prime object of the new arrangement, but convenience is also an important consideration.
 In the state of Illinois 1t is com- pulsory to supply running water in factories and such places. and simi- lar measures have been enacted or are under consideration in other states, the object being to prevent the contamination which is likely to occur when the washstand is used in common. The pedal attachment IL placed under the washstand few inches inside of the front line and to one side. preferably the right side. and connections are made with two valves located under the washstand. The location of the pedal is con venient 10 the foot and the pressure exerted in the center of the pedal causes mixture to issue from the spigot, while if the foot is shifted to the right or left the temperature is made hotter or colder as desired.

We grudge her no achievements or distinction Of learning or of pacific enterprise such as have made her record very bright injure her or to block in eny way her legitimate influence or power. We do not wish to fight her either with arms or with hostile arrangements of trade, if she is willing to associate herself with us and the other peace loving na- tions of the world in covenants of jus tiee and law and fair dealing. We wish her only 10 accept place Of equality among the peoples of the world-the new world in which we now liye-instead of a place of mas tery.
 Neither do we presume to suggest to her any alteration or modification of her institutions. But 1t is necessary, We must frankly say. and necessary as Il preliminary to any intelligent dealings with her on our part, that we should know whom her spokesmen speak for, when they speak to us. whether for the reichstag majority or for the military part, and the men whose creed is imperial domination.
 We have spoken now. surely, in terms too concrete to admit of any further doubt or question.
 An evident principle runs through the whole program 1 have outlined. It is the principle of justice to all peo- to live on equal terms of liberty and safety with one another whether they be strong or weak. Unless this prin- ciple be made it's foundation. no part of the structure of international jus tice can stand. The people Of the tHlttu StdteS coulu dcl upon no olHeF principle and to the vindieaton of this principle they are ready to devote their lives. their honor and everything that they posses.

QUESTIONS RULING
 0F HIGHER COURT
ATTORNEY GENERAL ADHERES TO OPINION ON EXEMPTION
 OF OFFICIALS.
vINSOKHELLER VS. REAGAN
Mir. ArbuckIe Says If Supreme Court Had Case Before lt Now 1t Would Reverse the Former Opinion
 Or Amend 1t.
Little Rock

Little RocK.-
 Despite the opinion of the Supreme Court in the case of Ninsonheller yer sus Reagan, Volume 69 of the Supreme Court Reports. Attorney General Ar. buckle believes that many men in cluded as state officials in that opin- ion would not be so included under the selcctive sceryice act. The at torney general believes that if the Supreme Court had this case before 1t now it would reserve the former opinion or amend 1t.
 The question arose when a vice di- rector of the University Agricultural Experiment Station wrote asking II he were included in the list of officers who should register under the section In the questionnaire referring to ofii- cers of the state. The attorney gen eral expressed an opinion in the mega tive.
 Mir Arhuckle believes that in mat ters pertaining to the state the deci- sion in this case should gov ern, but in government matters relating to tho draft he would not follow the ruling laid down in this case. In letter to President Futrall of the university he wrote:
 However. as stated i'll my letter 10 the governor of Arkansas. of March :6. 1917. in which letter l useS the following language: To be perfectly frank in the matter. my personal opin- ion coincides with the dissenting opin- ion rendered In this case. but when tho Supreme Court has spoken its de- cision stands as the law in the state until such is reversed hy the court if- self am of the opinion that if the court should have this same matter before it at this time hat it would re, verse itself and while in the opinion of this office would be forced to re- gard th opinion of the Supreme Court in matters of the state yet in matters pertaining to the draft or the filling out of the 'questionnaire' do not think this opinion should be fol- lowed by me-

COUNTY JUDGES POWER
Authorized To Call Special Sessions
 of Quorum Courts.

County judges may call Quorum Courts in special session to make ap- propriations. according to an opinion rendered by Attorney General J. D. Arbuckle. However, appropriation will be of little service now because the tax books have been certified to the tax collectors and no appropria- ton can be included.
 Attorney General Arbuckle receiv- cd a letter from J. F.. McKell. district agent for the Cooperative Extension Work. Bureau of Agriculture, who stated that the county judges in many counties want to call the Quorum Courts in session to make appropria- tions, but they were undecided wheth- CT they had the authority. According to the attorney general, their author ity is beyond question, but such ac. ton would be useless.

, listening in fac- to both unreconciled and in open and hopeless contradic- ton? These are very serious and pregnant questions. Upon the answer to them depends the peace of the world.
 But whatever the results of the par leys at Brest-Litovsk, whatever the Confusions of counsel and of purpose in the utterances of the spokesmen of the central empires, they have again attempted to acquaint the world with their objects in the war and have again challenged their adversaries to say what their objects are and what sort of a settlement they would deem just and satisfactory. There is no good reason why that challenge should not be responded to and responded to with the utmost candor.
 We did not wait for it. Not once, but again and again we have laid our whole thought and purpose before the world, not in general terms only but each time with sufficient definition to make 1t clear what sort of definite terms of settlement must necessarily spring out of them. Within the last week Mr. Lloyd George has spoken with admirable candor and in admira- ble candor and in admirable spirit for the people and government of Great Britain There is no confusion Of counsel among the adversaries of the central powers, no uncertainty of prin- ciples. no vagueness of detail. The only secrecy of counsel. the only lack of fearless frankness. the only failure to make definite statement of the oh- jeCts of the war. lies with Germany and her allies The issues of life and death hang upon these definitions. No statesman who has the least concep ton of his responsibility ought for . moment to permit himself to continue this tragical and appalling outpouring of blood and treasure unless he is sure beyond a pcradventure that the ob- iects of the vital sacrifice are part and parcel of the very life Of society, and that the people for whom she speaks think them right and impera- tive AS he does
