Could it be that the substitution
the Barrett case was just another
example of what force of habit will
accomplish?
For nearly a year while the United
States was at war with Germany, the
citizens OF this great and glorious
country had substitutes hurled at
them from every quarter. the hurl-
ing being directed principally by the
national food administration.
There were substitutes for bread,
substitutes for meat, substitutes for
leather and substitutes for nearly
everything else, and it has been sug-
sested that who ever it was that
substituted water for the real thing
in the Barrett case did so through
force of habit and out of purely pa
triotic motives.
And il is further suggested that
Tony will agree with the suggestion
that the motives which prompted
the one who did the substituting
were patriotic TO Tony at least.
What more appropriate place is
there in which a chief of police could
hide with safety than a police sta
tion-in another town?

THRONE WILHELM HAS LOST
Seat Of State Of the German Emperor
Was Altogether an Elaborate
and Costly Affair.

When Wilhelm II became king Of
Prussia he inherited an deliberately
carved chair. overhung by silken cur
tains, which was the ancestral throne
Of the Hohenzollern dynasty, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. This chair, how
ever. was a modest and unpretenti0us
affair compared with the throne Of the
German emperor, which Is said to
have cost more than 100000. It Is de-
scribed as built Of native woods in
their natural tints, with the armOrial
bearings Of the Hohenzollerns above
the lofty back and covered with carved
designs emblematic Of the states COM
posing the Teutonic federation. The
back. supported BY. two columns Of
wood, is Of leather and ivory and the
seat Is overhung by a canopy Of velvet.
The tips 81 the arms: are solid: gold,
with a setting Of emeralds. There is
also much cloth Of gold to lend addi-
tional gorgeousness. On this won
derful chair, on state occasions, the

PRESERVE OLD fur TREE
Manhatt1nese Value Relic Which 10
Believed to Have 4 Great Many
Historical Associations

On the extreme northern end Of
Manhattan island there is a tulip tree
which, though 1t is said to be 231 years
old, and II so may be the Oldest tree
on the island, still appears to be In
its prime, and In the early summer Is
almost entirely covered with foliage.
It Is situated on the north side Of
Inwood hill, toward the Harlem ship
canal, which joins the Hudson. It
stands In a clearing surrounded BY q
picket fence erected In October l9l2.
The spot is historically associated
with the Indians. Here in 1909 when
Hendrix Hudson landed In the Spuy'
ten Duyvil inlet he is supposed to
have met members of the Weck-quas'
keeks tribe.
Large quantities OF broken oyster
shells are embedded beneath the TOP
soil, and 1t is said the spot was !
great haunt Of the Indians, who useo
it as meeting place.
The tree in circumference Is aDou'
10 feet. It is 1913 feet tall. ie*
rotted cavities have been filled WIN
cement. An inscription was placed On
the tree when the fence was oaus
around 1t.

BRITISH PUBLICITY

Tremendous importance is attach
ed in British business circles to the
announcement that Lloyd George.
Premier of Great Britain, proposes
to establish a new government de-
partment of publicity to coordinate
and deal with official advertising
and propaganda work. This inten-
ton sprang out of the phenomenal
success which attended the publicity
work of the various government de-
partments during the war, conjoint-
ly with the necessity that has arisen
since the dissemination of informa-
tion relating to trade disputes that
have been agitating the country.
Mr.. Lloyd George has ever shown
himself as a believer in publicity,
and from the moment he took office
as Munitions Minister in the crisis
of May, 1915, has assiduously en-
couraged the light of publicity upon
all that made for the successful
peace. 1t was without doubt his en-
listing the aid of the press in 1915
and 1916 that resulted in publicity
regarding serious lack of shells and
guns, awakening the British nation
to a sense of it's position and secured
both facilities for making shells and
guns and the worRpeople in addition.

M'LEAN STARTED IT

A N ECHO of Senator McLean's
u measure which resulted in the
~ convention between the United
States and Canada for the protection
Cf migratory birds is heard in a bill
which has been introduced in the
Assembly at Quebec to
set apart certain areas in the Pro-
vince as bird sanctuaries.
The areas set aside are almost the
last resorts of certain vanishing spe-
cies of wild birds. Under the terms
of the bill it is forbidden for any
person at any time in any way to
molest certain specified migratory
game birds, under severe penalties.
The services which Senator George
P. Mclean, of Connecticut. has per-
formed for humanity and feather
dom will be increasingly appreciat-
ed e. the years roll on.

THE FARM VIEW
LFrom the Pennsylvania Farmel

From the Pennsylvania Farmer.1
The Pennsylvania Senate last week
passed a bill providing for a COM
mission to consider the revision of
the State constitution. 1t is expected
that the House will concur in the
bill and that a commission will be
appointed to report, with a possible
draft of new constitution to the
next session of the Legislature. We
believe that there is general agree
ment that the State constitution
should be revised. The present con-
stitution has been in force for forty
five years. In many respects the
Commonwealth has out-grown it's
constitutional laws. This is reflected
in the fact that no amendments were
passed up until 1890, but since that
time there have been twenty-five
amendments affecting nineteen sec
tions. Certain sections have been
amended a number OF times, and
others are yet proposed.
We believe, also, that there is gen.
eral agreement that the best way to
draw a new constitution is by first
making a scientific study of the
constitutional needs, with considera-
ton of all classes and all industries,
and submitting a definite proposition
for final consideration. At least, the
experience of other States points the
conclusion that the convention meth
cd is not the best way.

SELF-RESPECT IN BRAZIL

-HE authorities of Brazil, with
more concern for the dignity
- and respectability of their coun-
try than actuates the government
officials at Washington, have pre-
vented the landing at Rio Janeiro of
a representative of the Russian So
Wet government.
On the same day the newspapers
of New York announced that a rep
resentative of Lenine and Trotzky
had opened offices in that city under
the name of THE Russian Soviet
Bureau in the United States"
That gentleman makes no attempt
to conceal his hopes of being named
Russian Ambassador to the United
States. In view of the rumored
stand of President Wilson for recog-
milton of the Bolsheviki we cannot
blame their representative for his
optimism,

be also as soon as it can be estab-
lished, sound and enduring League
of Nations. The London Times we'll
says on this subject:
Let the broad outlines of the
League of Nations be embodied. by
all means in the preliminary treaty,
but let the detailed provisions of
this momentous and most compre-
hensive of all international coven-
ants be reserved for the full consid-
Grafton so great work demands"
In the face of this clear expression
of the needs of the situation, little
can be said in favor of President
Wilson's reported view that the pro-
posed covenant of the League must
stand without change and must be
made a part of any peace treaty,
preliminary or otherwise, agreed
upon by the powers.
1t is unfortunate that Mr.. Wilson
made the mistake OF undertaking to
put the people of the United States
into a League of Nations under an
agreement. the terms of which,
though satisfactory to himself, have
not been approved by the American
people or their duly chosen repre-
sentatives. The world cannot stamp
out autocracy by blindly submitting
to autocratic methods. The Presi-
dents serene confidence in his own
rectitude and wisdom cannot justify
his policy of undertaking to deny to
Americans the right to exercise their
own deliberate judgment respecting
the proposed world covenant.
