THE WAR OF JENKINS, EAR

From the Providence Journal.
 The latest incident provocative of q crisis in Mexican relations may remind us that the name of Jenkins has been given to a war-the War of Jinkins Ear" And this old-time Jenkins, cele brated because of his ear, was the victim of an outrage at the hands of men of that race the descendants of which in Mexico have now given effense to the United States bye assaulting one of it's William O.. Jenkins, our consular agent at Puebla.
 It was in April, 17sl, that the English brig Rebecca, bound from Jamaica to London, was boarded off Havana by a Spanish coast guard officers. exercising the right of search which Spain .then claimed in West Indian waters. The brig was plundered of everything of value and as final token of contempt for the hated English the Spaniard cut off one of Captain Robert Jenkins ears, The latters feelings at this indignity were expressed in his declaration to the House of Commons, inquiring into the outrage. that "he committed his soul to God, and his cause to his country.
 History records that his confidence was not misplaced England declared war on Spain.

STRANGER THAN FICTION

From the New York Telegram
 That truth really is stranger than fic- tion has just been illustrated in a home in Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn where Santa Claus has been bestirring be- times.
 It was a comfortable home. if not one of great wealth. which was seriously but not pessimistica1ly debating the high cost of things and the outlook for Christmas.
 Overshadowing all other material things, however, was the thought of how son and brother, gassed in the world war, was to be sent west to benefit by the dry climate, as ordered by the family physician.
 In the midst of it all there enters. not mysterious stranger with a long back beard as is usual in the last act.of melo- drama, but another son and brother, who was Recognizable on sight.
 Five years before he had pulled up stakes in Flatbush and started pros pecting in Arizona. After industriously digging and sitting down by many non productive holes in the ground he. re- gently struck it rich and helped to incor- porate copper mining company in which he owns a fourth interest.
 Now Brooklyn is going to lose lot of quiet companionable people, for not only the ailing soldier, but mother, sis ters, brothers and their children are all going to Arizona to share in the wealth of the wanderer

THE SHOEMAKER

existence and are competing with the independent workman who sits upon his own bench. May not the ma king of sohes by hand be revived?
 Salesmen predict that a good pair ct shoes will sell at se0 next year. Manufactures say this is because the cost of production in factories con trolled by union labor has risen enor- mously. Workmen are paid up to s125 a week.. The cost of the leather is, ad- mittedly, by no means the price of the shoe, or any great part of the price.
 The merchant tailor never has been suppressed by the competition of cloth ing manufacturers The tailor who buys his cloth carefully and maintains his ground by making clothes which wear. well stands as tub upon it's own bottom. Perhaps there remain many cobblers, formerly prosperous shoe makers, who may turn something more than an honest penny while factory shoes soar because factory hands who could not make shoe in month since they are not shoemakers, demand enor- nous wages

 A every village who was known by the quality, the style, of the shoes he made, as a merchant tailor is known by the quality of the clothes he makes
 From the period when armorers shod Homer's "brazen-booted Greeks" until in the middle of the last century, the splitting machine was introduced to ex- pand cowhdes and profits, and ma chine begging and sole sewing began, the shoemaker was a manual trades. man who seemed destined to minister forever to mankind. But the factories competed with him successfully. A dec ade ago factories were turning out shoes for $3.50 which lasted until the wearer grew tired of them. Many per- sons not more than ordinarily well-to- do threw aside their worn shoes as not being worth cobbling. The cobbler did a dwindlinE trade. The making of shoes by hand was almost abandoned.
 Nowadays every cobbler is busy. Cobbling corporations, have sprung into

protests. No one will dispute his as sertion that a man needs "every bit of gray matter God has given him, in an emergency" but it is neither fair nor sportsmanlike for him to make public charges that reflect on many American ai5men, those who fought and died for their country abroad as well as others who survived.
 It is curious trait of human na- ture that the habit of trying to regu- late other peoples morals is one of the harder- to control and keep within proper bounds. Maynard performed a gallant exploit. He is justly con- sidered one of Americas greatest aviators, but his iIl-timed remarks have made a distinctly bad impress sion.
 What pity that newly made heroes are not always able to put Ia strict guard on their tongues and avoid blunders that they will quickly regret!

Wisconsin Socialists
 Renominate Berger

M NLY one dissenting vote was " cast when Victor Berger, elect ed to represent the Fifth Wisconsin district in Congress, was deprived of his seat. The answer of Wisconsin socialists came Tuesday when he was renominated.
 Sending Berger to Congress in the first place after he had been convicted of committing seditious acts was a blot on the good name os Wisconsin, but his renoniination in the face of Congress refusal to seat him is di- rect slap at the one hundred per cent Americans ofe this country and the government they have chosen to rep resent them.
 The socialists of the Fifth Wiscon- sin district expressed their contempt fer congressional opinion by voting for Berger. They said in effect that they prefer man of his type to an American citizen whose record is clean,

Alsace-Lorraine Deputies
 Welcomed by Chamber

THE last chapter in the restora- q tion of Frances Nost prov inces" was written the other day when twenty-four deputies from Alsace Lorraine were welcomed back to the French Parliament.
 It must have been a solemn occa- sion, yet fraught with joy. The Chamber of Deputies took part in these exercises that brought to for nal end nearly half century of separation, every day and every hour of which was marked by the unalter- able will of the French people to re- gain the territory taken from them by Germany at the close of the Franco-Prussian war.
 "There was tremendous applause, writes correspondent. It is easy to understand the emotions with which the twenty-four deputies were greeted by their colleagues. The United States Senate may or may not ratify the reace treaty. France, may view the future with misgivings, but for the present, /at any rate, wound  that remained open forty seven years is healed.
