Poetry and Plagiarism.

After Longfellow's poem Excelsior"
first appeared it was copied all over
the country in the various journals. 1t
was not long in reaching England,
where it met with the same enthusiast
ic reception. Longfellow, in his diary
of September 1, 1871, notes: 81
received from Mr.. Henry Gersoni to
day a Hebrew translation of Excel
sior.'"
In the writing of Excelsior" Long
fellow was charged by number Of
critics with plagiarism. One of these
claimed that the poet had adopted lines
from Brainard's poem, "The Mocking
Bird" but to this the poet replied:
"Now, when in Excelsior said
"A voice fell like a falling star Brain
ards poem was not in my mind nor
had ever read it. OF truth, one
cannot strike a spade into the soil of
Parnassus without disturbing the
bones of some dead poet."-Detroit

VIOLIN ALWAYS THE SAME
For Centuries Shape and Substance of
That Tuneful instrument Have
Not Been Altered.

Even in this age of hustle and
change, some few of the old standbys
remain unchanged, but at that it is
rather startling to realize that the vio-
lin, probably the best loved of all mu-
steal instruments, has remained virtu-
ally unchanged in shape Or substance
for three centuries. In that time the
harpsichord, lutte and spinet have pass
ed away, the harp has been improved,
the piano has been invented and de-
veloped but the violin, which took a
hundred years to assume it's present
dwarf, the worlds most famous vio-
lin maker. has remained unchanged.
The violin is popularity supposed to
date from the days of the ancient In
dams, but the present instrument had
its beginning back in the days of the
troubadours, who used musical boxes
called violes or guital fiddles. And as
the years went by the little violes were
improved. The shape was altered; bit
by bit the instrument changed. Now
a bridge was added; now a waist !;
openings on either side Of the bridge
were added.
And from 1860 to 1760 the violin in
dustry rose to its greatest achieve
ments in the developments of Amati,
Guarneri, and Stradivari, Italian vio-
lin makers living in the town of Gre
mona. Since their time there has been
no change, and the finest and most
priceless musical instrument of today
is a Stradivarius violin, made three
centuries ago by the master craftsman
Stradivari in CremOna.

EX-PRESIDENT TAFT URGES
PEACE PACT COMPROMISE
Opens Correspondence With the Lead
ers of Both Parties--Would
Patch Differences.

Washington, July 25.-Former Presi-
Republican senators and leaders sug-
costing reservations to the peace treaty
which might be acceptable to both
sides, has opened correspondence on
the subject with prominent Democrat
ic senators.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, one
of the leading spokesman for the adj
ministratiOn in the senate fight, re-
ceived a letter from Mr.. Taft.
The former presidents communica
ton to the Nebraska senator was not
made public, but it was understood tC
be of the same general tenor as those
sent to the Republicans-suggestions
for agreement upon treaty reServa'
tons or interpretations to facilitate
ratification.
Senator Hitchcock and other admin.
istration senator's declared, however
that for the present, at least. they
would continue their efforts for ratifi'
cation without reservations. Express,
ing confidence that there was no ques
ton but that the treaty would be rati'
fed, they said the fight now centered
on the resolution accompanying ratifi'
cation in which would be embodied
any reservations or interpretations.
Contending that senate rules re-
quired a vote ON each article of the
treaty, the administration leaders said
they believed they had the votes to de-
feat amendments to any section.

not repaid, and specific denial Of such
intended request has been made by

convenience AND STABILITY OF
MORTGAGES

There is no investment which is so
simple in it's form, so easily understood,
and at the same time combining un-
questioned stability with satisfactory
returns, as First Mortgage on an
improved productive Farm with
early maturity date.
It is doubtless due to this fact that
mortgages are first as investments, not
alone among private individuals but
with the largest commercial and fnan-
cial institutions having surplus funds.
Most people having money to invest
desire to know and understand as much
as possible regarding the security in
which they are to place their funds
There is perhaps more money lying idle
in homes and other places where it is
subject to loss by theft or accident
simply because investment and financial
affairs appear to most people as for
midable and intricate, than for any
other reason.
There is nothing intricate about 8
mortgage; it may be explained briefly
as a document signed and given by the
borrower to the lender. By the condi
tions named in this document the lender
can possess himself of the borrower
property as set forth in the agreement
in case the borrower does not meet hi.

by the statement Of Chairman Cum
mings, of the Democratic National
Committee, that the trip of the sub
committee on aviation, of the special

Frear and his fellow members have
proceeded to Portland and Seattle,
where they expect to be able to re-
veal to the public, very shortly, ad-
ministrative extravagances, lack of ef-

public interest that will cause the tax
payers OF the country to gasp with
amazement and resentment. It is In
this section OF the country that the
War Department constructed a .sys.
tenn of railroads, "for logging pur.
poses," at colossal cost, which have
never been Of the slightest value to
Government and which Chairman
Frear expects TO show where SO located

who were personally interested. that
the ultimate beneficiary is one Of the
trans-continental railways which had
hesitated to undertake such expensive
construction 'pDon its own behalf
