THE BABY ACT

Mr.. Townley does not take his Minnesota defeat
gracefully. At Hillsboro he said in substance that II
%lindbersh was defeated it was because dishonest election
officials had counted him out
A brutal winner is always a poor loser. Townley is
both.
1t Is fortunate for the state Of Minnesota, and for
the cause of honest government, that the majority given
to Governor Burnquist is so large that. it cannot be ex-
planned away on the basis Of a crooked count. Lind.
bersh was defeated because Of his seditious utterances,
his general unsoundhess and untrustworthiness and his
ahiliaHon with one A. c. Townrey. And he was defeated
chiefly by the votes Of the farmers of Minnesota whom
Townley and his associates in the leadership of his
organization had paid the poor compliment Of supp6sfng
that they could be hoodwinked and bro1vbeaten into
supporting a candidate for public Office so thoroughlt
unfit Is %IAidbergh is.
However, Towhley will probably continue to insist
that the count was crooked. and that explanation will
serve him as we'll as any other.

W LMPRESSIV w FEATURES

Readers of The Herald are being given very full re-
ports OF the proceedings At tho university in connection
with the annual commencement. Out Of the wealth Of
good things uttered In the various addresses it would be
dimcult to say which are tho most important and sig
nffieant. But among the multitude Of splendid things
that fell from the lips of the speakers. two may he
mentioned as being particularly impressive.
At the installation exercises President Kane spoke
OF the rumor which has been heard occasionally that
the university would be run on a political basis. He
told the story of the question which Bishop Brooks asked
OF the woman who desired more Journalism in the
church. and who related to the then Rector Brooks the
dream III which she said that there had been shown to
her a church particularly rigid in its Journalism, and in
every way conforming to her ideas of what q church
should be. And" asked DR.. Brooks, "who did you un=
derstand was to be the rector Of this wonderful church %
Similarly DR.. Kane said that when reports were heard
OF the dohhinanee Of political influence In tie university
they might inquire who was to be president Of the
university Under those conditions. In other words, there
WIN be no political influence in the institution while Dr..
Kane is president.
The other feature to which reference is made oc-
Cured in the address of DR.. Mclean, president Of the
University Of Manitoba The speaker told of the con-
didons before the war. All was peace, and peace
ssemed likely to endure. The work of education pro-
kfessed smoothly and pleasantly. The war came, and
with It the contrast. Today the children Of Rheims are
sting to school with gas masks in their lunch baskets.
Therein" said DR.. Mclean, "1ies the tragedy Of the
sttuation-and its hopefulness. The children Of Rheirn1
81 to school with gas masks in their lunch baskets-but
they continue Is SO to school"
The light that has been passed from hand to hand
through the generations is not to be extinguished even

Of the long flight of steps that wound up

of the long flight of steps that wound up
the cliff to the Hotel Cappuccini.
His mind was in tumult. He, too,
was due at the Cappuccini, where his
room was engaged; but now he hesi-
tated to go and claim it and to appear
in his own person before the American
ladies. The craven thought came into
his mind that he should run away; then
he half resolved to declare himself at
once. He had been unable to decide
upon course of action when the ladies
prepared to descend from the coach.
Then he overheard Lesley whisper to
her mother: "He's been so nice and
intelligent, don't you think we might
give him couple Of francs for himself"
Before he could speak, the girl had
placed twelve francs in his hand,
wishing him a smiling goodby.
Believer hesitated To speak, or not
to speak-which was wiser in the mind
of man? But he found himself main
tanning his part by uttering deferential
Molte grazie, signorina." His manner
was changed, however; his gayety
eclipsed and his dark eyes fell guiltily
before the frank, friendly gaze OF the
American girl.
Believer turned his smoking team, and
walked them back to their stable in the
town, where he left coach and horses
in the hands of his groom. Strolling
slowly back to the Cappuccini steps, his
courage suddenly returned to him. He
would face the music, brave out the
situation and trust to his own tact and
the ladies' sense of humor to save the
position. One thing only was impos-
sible-to give up the adventure and see
the girl no more. He mounted the
many steps, received warm welcome
from the handsome and ELUSIVE land
lord, and in the visitors book set a
firm, clear Believer, England" i'm
mediately under the clever, character
istic writing in which Lesley had
inscribed the names of Mrs. and Miss
Fleetwood, New York, U. S. A."

sparkled. "Aren't we in luck, mamma,
to have got seats in this splendid coach,
and with such driver, too? See how
well he handles the reins! And his
profile looks as if he were cast in
bronze"
"Take care, Lesley! Are you sure
ooh, that's all right! Very few of
these Italian drivers know more than
two or three words of English"
Then the, girl began to talk italian
to the coachman and he answered her
courteously. Believer could speak
language, and Lesley's knowledge was
slips. He felt guilty, but dared not
betray his nationality, lest the ladies
should insist on being put down at the
the steep road they came in sight of the
sea, with picturesque hamlet of white
and pink and yellow houses, climbing
up the cliff, terrace above terrace, high
viaduct spanning foaming stream.
"Vietri!" Believer pointed with his
whip and held his horses well in hand
as they swept over the viaduct and
started at gallop up the opposite hill.
The ladies sat silent, spell-bound by
the beauty suddenly opened to them.
"Well, mamma" cried Lesley, turn
ing in her place. "we've had a splendid
time in Europe, haven't we? We've
seen and done such lot of things. But
l believe 1 like Italy best of all. Of
course, Egypt was gorgeous and Greece
was lovely"
"And England" prompted the
mother.
