"What nonsense, then" remarked
Senator McCumber Of North Dakota In
a speech In the senate, ''is this talk of
laying aside partisan politics In any
campaign. You might with just as much
reason talk about emitting the next
November election"
He then went on to recall the fact
that during the Civil war partisan pol
itics was not laid aside and both par
ties endeavored In the congressional
election and also in the presidential
election to elect their candidates.
Further, MeCumber went on to show
that In several states the laws provid-
ed that party candidates must be pre-
sented to the people, and consequently
1t was impossible to lay aside partisan
politics because war was in progress.
1t is fact, that whatever may have
been the desire to postpone partisan
politics, the political game has been
played right along although with the
soft pedal on to some extent on ae-
count of the war.

buildings may be considered In sense
as a necessary expense, but on the
other hand they should be considered
In the light of an investment.
A farm barn is the farmers factory.
1t is building In which he converts
raw materials into manufactured
products. In dairy stable he takes
cheap feeds and manufactures them
into expensive cream and butter. In
feeding stables and hogpens he manu-
features high-prlced breeding stock
as well as good beef, mutton and pork
out Of cheap grain and cheaper rough
age.
1t makes a great difference In the
profits whether this barn factory is so
constructed that the animals may be
comfortable enough to make the best
possible use of the feeds given them.
Profits are also seriously affected by
the labor problem. Barns and stables
may be so arranged as to conserve la
Dor or to waste labor.
In selecting a plan the farmer him
self must be the Judge of what he
needs. The kind Of farm building best
adapted to one part of the country Is
not suitable for another. Two farms
adjoining need different buildings, be-
cause the kind of farming differs
with individuals. One farmer makes
a great mistake by bllndly copying
what another farmer uses to advan-
tage. Every building requires care
full study to At 1t into environments
of the farm and the pecullarlties Of
the man.
In building, by all means secure the
services of the best mechanics within
reach. Their wages are little higher,
but they seldom spoil material, and
the job is almost always more salts
factory In the end.
Judgment is necessary In buying ma
terlals; generally speaking, the best
is the cheapest, but II often happens
that a good second grade answers the
purpose just as well. while effecting
considerable saGing In cash.
Farmers may save a great deal by
getting ready weeks, or months be-
fore building. Putting up even
small building runs Into great deal
of work. Often the time required
Is more than twice as much as the
estimates. By having everything on
the ground confusion is avoided, as
well as the unnecessary expense OF /
getting things together In a great
hurry, often at an inconvenient sea-
son.

1t is to Amerlcanlze these people, TO
do something that will make them more

they have been, that should engage the
attention of wise statesmen. 1t has
been asserted that there are too many

When 1t comes to passing around
compliments Uncle Joe Cannon is not
likely to be among those who fail. II
take pleasure here and now" said the
veteran, in referring to the work done
by Chairman Sherley of the appropri-
atoms committee on the big efficiency
bill, "in saying that during my service
of over forty years in the national
house Of representatives, 50 far as the
committee on appropriations is con-
cerned 1t has never had q superior
chairman to lead 1t and inform the
house than 1t has today"
Cannon himself was chairman of the
committee for many, many years At
least two men Of his own selection were
chairmen of the committee. Then, GO
ing back to the days of Uncle Joe's
forty years, there was Sam Randall of
Pennsylvania and quite a number Of
others who were at the head of this
great committee. But mind you, Cam
Aon said the committee never had a
superior chairman" which affords a
leeway for those men still living to feel
that they were equal to Sherley In
handling appropriation bills"

BELIEVED BY MANY BRITISH
Legend Connects People Of the "TIuhl
Little Island" With the Lost
Tribes Of Israel.

There Is a small group IN England
who believe the British are the lost
ten tribes. Victoria is said to have
been interested In the idea that the
reason for her being crowned In o
chair under which lay the Stone Of
Destiny may have stretched directly
back to the Son of Isaac. The legend
is that before the Scottish kings were
crowned on this stone 1t was In Ire,
land, whittier 1t was taken In the fifth
century before Christ. This was the
stone used by Jacob as a pillow.

the subject:
"The theory that the British are the
lost ten tribes has two coincldlng lines
One brings to Britain the tribes never
restored after the Captivity. 1t Is tn,
earlier captivity that is taken to affect
the British population as whole. The

other line Of the legend deals with a

The $12,000,0O0 appropriation bill
which was presented as an emer-
gency measure some time last
spring has evidently had a severe
handicap In what was first known
as the Randall amendment, for
which the senate substituted the
sheppard amendment. Congressman
Randall of California secured an
amendment which prohibited the use
Of any Of the money unless the presi-
dent put into operation Immediately
the prohibition Of using agricultural
products for the manufacture Of liQ-
uors. After many months the bill
was finally passed by the senate and
Senator Sheppard Of Texas had
substitute Incorporated In place Of the
Randall amendment which provided
for absolute prohibition on July l,
1919. Since the bill passed there has
been good deal of Juggling back and
forth and no one can yet tell what
will be the final outcome. The prohi-
bitionists intend to hold fast and this
bill which was considered an "eIner
gency" measure many months ago
seems to have become the football Of
the vets and drys In congress.

History is making with digging rapidity.
World-changes fairly crash upon us in each days
news. Events that singly would daze are moving
forward in phalanxes. In Central Europe the very
mountains seem to reel and nothing to stand fast
upon the earth Results which the enemies Of
Germany had thought of as possible only after long
struggles and delays that make the heart sick are
now fairly rushing upon We are almost los
ing our capacity to be astonished at what read
in the dispatches And though we all are filled
with kind of wondering and solemn joy at the
great fruition of hopes, not, and may
not be for long time to come able to measure
the significance of the mighty transformations
sweeping upon the world.
A good way to get bearings is to go back
to our state of mind four years ago. Then we
stood aghast at the spectacle of great interna-
tional crime attempted which we feared might
succeed. The moral sense of mankind was suffer-
ing from a shock which seemed as If it might over
turn the whole rider of ideas and convictions
which had become part of the common conscious
1t would help to clarity our thoughts to-
day if we would turn back to such article as
John Galsworthy wrote in Scribner's month or
two after the war broke out 1t was the pouring
out of the heart of an idealist, an International
list, Christian, overwhelmed by the apparent de-
struction of all that he held dear. Yet he would
not abandon hope. He cast about for desperate
resources of comfort. One of them was the like
lihoOd that such q bold and wicked act OF agrees
sion by military nation would arouse among
non-military nations spirit that would never sub
nit or yield. ThiL implied prediction have seen
marvelously and gloriously fulfilled. But Gals
worthy went deeper and, in that hour when the
ruthless might of Germany seemed resistlessly
sweeping to brutal triumph, dwelt upon the un-
shaken assurance given by belief in a fixed
moral order of the universe. If were not to
curse God and die, could not admit the pos
siblity that wantOn crime could enthrone itself
over outraged justice.
This it is, we can now see--the conviction that
cause was righteous-whch was firm foun-
dation beneath our feet even when the floods OF
iniquity were rising highest That was our ultf-
mate reason for stubborn optimism, though the
heavens hung black above us. world given over
to domination by the sword seemed absolutely IN
thinkable. We knew that would all rather
die than have to live in such world; and from
that thought to the confidence that such
a thing could never come to pass. The indgna-
tion mingled with the invincible hope Of the
prophets took for stay. We read new
meanings into the poets Of indomitable resistance
to tyranny, willing to make Shelleys
flaming words and to hope till hope creates from
its wreck the thing it contempates." 1t was
not question OF one country race going up and
another going down. The British empire might
go the way of the Roman, for all we knew; but
that was not the pain that gnawed at our hearts.

THE FIRM FOUNDATIONS

The fear that beset us that. the whole process OF
civilization might suddenly be proved CHASTITY
mistake; that the slow conquest of science and ed
ucation and religion might be squandered in one
mad reversion to barbarism.
Today we rejoice in the shining evidence that
those apprehensions were needless. The world
is to be habitabe, as we thought of it before the
Germans threatened to make a madhouse rOf 1t.
This is the uplifting assurance into which we have
entered. 1t is worth more than any military vic
tory, however splendid; and makes all mere talk
of bloody vengeance seem cheap and tawdry.
The world-setlement is at hand, and it means set
thing some things forever for all those who are
hereafter to inhabit the world. 1t Is settled that
the conscience of mankind cannot be acronted
without due punishment falling upon the guilty. 1t
is settled that the foundations of human progress
and human faith rest too securely earths deep
est strata to be overthrown by marauders Insane
with ambition 1t is settled that the world is
meant to in the serene orbits of peace, and
cannot be madly whirled into space at the, within
of war lords. Throughout the whole human
ciety there will be, consequence OF the right
eous ending of a war that began in unrighteous-
ness an enormous Strengthening of the forces that
make for morality, for stability for good faith be-
tween nations and for belief in the divinity that
shapes the ends of mankind Devil-worship has
received deadly, blow. We feel thai the unceas-
ing purpose running through the ages has been
demonstrated and indicated. Compared with this
mighty acheveL.e-t for the whole race, triumph
ing over a beaten foe seems petty. The victory at
tanned is indeed the call of trumpet to faint
hearts but it is call to lift up the eyes and
new world, compact Of justice and buttressed by
peace, rising above the tears and blood and tor
ments of the past four years.-New York Evening
