ONE can be so rotten nasty as to disgust even the political buzzards. Had the Boob suppressed its menda- cious publication and Mrs. Hatcher's untfuths never been uttered, Maloney might have had a chance but with the crowd behind him 1t was impossible from the first. The Maloney campaign was so palpably unfair and bore the earmarks of the professional trick ster at the head of territorial politics for the past several years, that it dis gusted the clean intelligent vote and threw it to Sulzer in punches. The day is past in the territory when slap stick politics, fought under cover by anonymous publishers can hope to convince the sane and rational voter. The man who prostitutes his office un- der the trading with the enemy" act should expect no mercy from the par ty he betrayed.

THAT farm lands in Bucks Coun- ty, Pennsylvania, have recently been sold at auction as low as $4.17 an acre, is accounted for in some quar- ters on the theory that, while an or dinary laborer in a intuition plant can earn from sixty-five cents to $1 an hour, the farmer is doing we'll if he earns twenty cents an hour. But this comparison will not hold good generally. Whether the farmer in "Old Bucks" or elsewhere in the Uni ted States, makes twenty or three times twenty cents an hour, depends on the kind of farm he has and, more particularly, the kind of work he puts into it. The farmer who tolls as hard and intelligently for himself as a man must toll in a intuition factory does not need to leave home to find lucra- tive employment.-Christian Science Monitor.

GERMAN MISCALCULATlON

It can be here stated that these torn hosts, our allies, have accom- plished the greatest feat in the his tory of the world. They have stopped a German drive that seemed invinc- ible. The Germans allowed 30 per cent, it is said, for miscalculation. That is, they credited the allies with being 30 per cent stronger than they knew them to be. Surely nothing on earth could stand before their drive, even though that something were 30 per cent stronger than reckoned.
 Today Germany knows as she nev- CT knew before, that she cannot es- timate the tenacity of the French or British soldiers. She knows that she has all along underestimated the fighting qualities of these free peo- ple. She is beginning to understand that there is another element in war fare besides numbers of men and weight of guns. It must be getting through even the thick head of Ger man military commander that there is something superior in the British and French to their own dumb sol diers.
 Manhood! That is what Germany miscalculated. Courage! She failed to put it upon paper! Grit, determination not to allow the Huns to pass, right eousness of the cause and the inspira- tion that comes from righteousness that is what Germany could not cal culate. And, thank God for these vir- tues of the British and French-our allies-for the barbarians are not in Paris and they are not bathing in the waters at Calais.

The Emblem of France.

The heur de lis is the emblem of France. and is believed to be the white-howered F1orentine Iris the flower de luce. ''What sayest thou. my fair flower de iucer' says the Eng- fish king to the French princess in Shakespeare's play. The French have a pretty legend of their lily which tells that at the baptism of King Clovis. of the long and perfumed hair. . blue banner came fluttering down from heaven over which were sprinkled golden heur de lis. From that time they appear on the arms of the country. They have q verb. "ieurdeliser," mean ing to embroider scattered flowers over . fabric. or. as embroiderers say. to pepper with flowers" Edward III borrowed the lilies of France after his war with that country and they were borne by England until the beginning of the nineteenth century.

JAPAN'S MOVE NOT A MENACE

It is fair to assume that the land- ing of a small force of troops by the British and Japanese at Vladivostok is entirely without color of aggres- sion. The reason for the decision has not been given officially, but appar- ently is to protect Japanese and Brit ish citizens and property, and in that event an indefinite number of paral- lels might be drawn from our own ac- tions in Latin-America.
 It is folly to think of either En- gland or Japan alternating the sympa- thies of the United States in it's pol icy toward Russia. Both nations have been scrupulously deferential in deal ing with this country as a co-belliger- ent. President Wilson has maneuver- ed to retain the friendship of the Bol- sheviki by assuring Russia of Ameri- can sympathy with the revolution, and if the Bolsheviki listen to Ger man propaganda designed to show that the allies are not in harmony they are either predisposed to Ger many or have learned utterly nothing from their experience with the Prus- sian war makers. The allies are justi- fled in protecting their nationals and the fact that Japan and Great Brit ain are acting together is assurance that the move is not national but in ternational.
 There is a considerable sentiment in this country which favors the in yasion of Siberia by Japanese troops to meet the German menace. If Jap anese interests are actually threaten ed that sentiment probably would be almost unanimous. But there appears no good reason, from a military or moral standpoint, why Japan should undertake an expedition, and there fore our government has not approv- ed such a course. That our govern ment's position is correct for the pres ent, at least, there is little question.
 It would be a splendid example of Bolshevik consistency for the quasi government of Russia to declare war against Japan after making a humil- iating peace with Germany. Also it would be splendid victory for Prus- sian diplomacy" in Russia.

POPULARITY OF BLUE GRASS
Kentucky SoldIsrs, on Return March Ffsm DattIs:S :Sf TIppseanes, oatjs '' Sfsd Seed h Indiana.

The tradition that the Kentucky sol diers who fought at Tippecanoe took back with them the seed that has made blue grass famous In central Ken lucky, has never been questioned or seemed to require authentic proof, de clares e writer. Mrs. Levering says. in her Authentic Indiana"
 "It was on the return march from the battle of Tippecanoe that the sol diers from Kentucky gathered the seed of the blue grass which they found growing In Indiapa, and carried 1t home with them, thinking 1t was a su- perior variety because 1t satisfied the hunger of their horses 50 we'll that they would not eat corn. It fOurished so we'll on the limestone soil of central Kentucky that 1t made that state fa- mous." This statement was based on information obtained from early set tiers of Indiana. Kentucky was not known as the blue grass state until many years after the battle of Tippe- canoe.
 As long as slavery existed. Ken lucky. lying south of the Ohio river. was classed as a Southern state. It never was classed as . central Vest ern or middle Western state along with Ohio and Indiana. In the census report of 1910, Ohio. Indiana. Illinois, Michigan and wisconsin were chased as East North Central states" and Kentucky, Tennessee. Alabama and Mississippi as East South Central states"
 When Indiana was admitted to the Union, In 1S16. it consisted of 10 eoua- ties, viz.: Wayne. Franklin, Dearborn. Switzerland, Jefferson. Clark. Wash ington. Harrison. Knox. Gibson, Posey, Warrick and Perry. In the subsequent creation of 70 counties out of thsss. making o2, the boundaries of the orig inal 13 counties underwent material changes.

Cock and Bull Story.

Cock fighting is still the national sport of the Dominicans. although 1t Is declining in popularity. Under the na- tional gambling laws cock fighting may be prohibited. It may, however. be IT, censed by the various municipalities, and 1t usually is, as it yields them a good revenue. While bull fighting is permitted in the Dominican republic, 1t has never been popular in this island. At long intervals toreador comes here en route from Spain to Peru or Mex leo, and few bull fights are held in the various towns. but they do not at. tract a large attendance There are no professional bull fighters among the Dominicans.-Commercial Reports.
