Louis XVIII. was the younger broth<

brought up with little idea that ha

France. He was known 1t court az

to be much cleverer and better educate

For many years there was no de
rect heir. and Louis Stanislaus Xavier,
to give him his full name, began to
hope for the crown. Then the dauphin
was born, the lad who came to such q
sad. mysterious emo with the revolu-
ton Of France.
Hope that was killed with the birth
of the dauphin, revived ut his death.
and Louis styled himself Louis the
18th. But the revolutions continuing.
he had to flee from one part of Flu.

caused his despair. but he would not

"Yes. the king said you could show

Mr.. Porcupine was very proud to

WHEN THE PAPER MISSES.
Iwinterset Madisonian.1

In celebrating a birthday some time
ago, a Georgia paper took occasion to
refer to the constant appearance OF
tho paper-a thing the ordinary man
fails to appreciate. That is to say. 1t
means more than the average man
supposes to have a Newspaper MAX
ing Its regular appearance, without
missing an issue.
There could be nothing more de-
pressing. nothing more detrimental to
a town than to have its paper fail to
appear regularly. Even tho one has
not the time to stop everything else
and read 1t On publication day. the
fact that 1t Is issued and can be had
Is an assurance that the world is go
ing on. Should the papers of this Sec
ton fall to come out next week 1t
would cause general alarm among the
people-they would feel sure some
thing serious had happened.
But suppose in our darker days the
paper had failed to appear. Sup
pose that when it was known that
our soldiers were beginning the great
drive in France, the papers had atop
ped coming out Or suppose that
last winter, when the influenza was
threatening the nation, the papers had
ceased publication. Can you imagine
the state of mind that would have
followed? Can you guess what would
nave become of the nation had all of
this newspapers ceased to appear

REV. KlRsYE. SENATORS AND sAieoNs

nv, NhsIs, osHalua8 AND SAA9UWS
DR.. Kirbye, Of Plymouth Congresa-
tional church, Des Moines, is quoted
in one of his home newspapers as ap-
plying such opprobrious terms as
traitor. ward politician, craven poll
tician," etc., to the senators who forced
the reservations thru.
Setting aside the Incorporate Ian
guage said to have been used by the
preacher as needing neither comment
nor criticism other than the language
itself addressed as it was, naturally
suggests to those who heard and who
read It, nevertheless It Is quite pos
sible that the reverend mentor may
change his mind on this as on the
liquor question in his own church.
It will be recalled by those who were
present and active in the conference
Of the Congregational church OF Iowa
held at Marshalltown In 1914 that Rev.
Kirbyo with heat, intense partisanship.
and a liberality Of viewpoint upon
the liquor question which astonishsd
where 1t did not disgust and anger
even laymen opposed q resolution
which read about a. follows,
Resolved, That the signature Of a
Congregational minister upon a saloon
petition OF consent IL contrary to the
spirit of the church and inirnioaI to
the interest Of religion and morality.
Despite the bitter opposition to adop-
ton led by Rev. Kirbye and . Rev.
WEIGH, then Of Mason City, the resolu-
ton YVES adopted with practical unan-
unity, the literally inclined gentlemen
being able to find but nineteen votes
out OF several hundred to support the
lax liberality that q Congregational
minister might DO Watchdog in the
pulpit and wolf on q saloon petition OF
consent. His angry disappointment on
the passage OF that resolution WAS
made evident there a. his Incorporate
language against the senators exposed
his anger in his Sunday pulpit
But some months later Rsv. Kirbys
was leading an assault upon the liquor
traffic In Des Moines and prominent In
urging remonstraAces and rsmovinS
signatures from . saloon petition Of
consent. Weloh, referred to above, had
secured a place as assistant 20 B.liy
Sunday. So Il 10 evident that both
men had changed, II not their conyio-
tons. at least their methods Of action.
Temperamental persons incline to

not have their own way. But thoss

and one Of these II In Sioux City.
Iowa. So It IL time the subject Is up
for discussion.
Fair minded labor leaders win re-
cognize, Of course. that no enduring
school system can be built on that
kind Of = teachers organization. A
simple test on this question Is to sup
pose that the employers class sener-
ally was organized into q national
federation, and the teachers associa.
tions were invited to. affiliate with II.
The protest would BE- vigorous. and
rightly so.
It Is the birthright OF the teacher to
be the impartial Instructor In the
principles Of social or
ganIzation. The birthright should not
be sold under the stress Of temporary
Inconvenience. due to tho high cost OF
living. All real teachers recognise
that there Is something bigger than

sprcutArIpe IN FOREIGN MONEY.

| Speculation in paper money OF ior'
eign countries is one OF the new
phases of finance produced BY the war
Europe has bought from the United
States so many billions Of dollars
worth Of goods more than Europe has
sold 10 the United -tates during the
war that the balance due US can not
| be paid in money. Until Europe can
ship more goods to US or borrow from
US on long time bonds there is such
great demand for money, bank credits.
and all forms OF international cur
rency that premiums are bid for 1t.
German marks, English pounds and all
foreign currency will exchange for
much less in our money now than ever
before. The German mark which once
was worth "a cents in our money
scarcely brings 4 cents now.
The spectators. however. believe
that the worst period has passed, that
there are better times ahead. AS fast
as long time loans by the sale OF bond
issues are secured in this country and
goods begin to flow back from Europe
to Us or TO South America and South
America ships raw materials to US the
pressure for money becomes less. The
Spectator who always bets on the fu-
ture Is betting that foreign currency
will rise in it's exchange value hence
he is buying foreign money to hold It
for the rise
Germany with its will to work and
its slogan Of eight hours work for US
and three for Germany is going TO re-
store in part the international value
Of its mark. Nine months options can
be bought on German marks now at
4.25 by paying a margin Of $500 down.
This entities the purchaser to the right
to buy 100000 marks for s4,25o. any
time within the nine months. II the
mark should go to 10 cents within nine
months the speculator could cash In at
$4,000. At a cost Of s4.2-9. and his
bet Of $500. Whereas, il it should de-
cline below 4.25 cents then the specu-
lator loses his bet Of 5000. It's q I to
Is shot .'
In the case Of the English pound the
chance OF gain Is not so great but the
certainty is far greater. A pound
sterling which was worth 1887 In I'm
tied States money before the war can
be bought for 1920 now. If II should
go back to it's former figure In the
next two years it would yield a profit
Of 81 cents or per cent per annun.
Reconstruction must bring about b
certain degree Of rehabilitation 70 all
nations, a denation Of wars inflated
demand and q restoration or normal
conditions. This speculation in ex.
change Is the SPECTATORS bet that the
world is going to right itself

Old Ed. Howe Is writing an "Anthol-
ogy on Another Town" In the satur-

them applying 1t to people and char

common scandal because they are
mostly true. while scandal is often a
lie of whole cloth. always tainted
with mendacity. envy. hatred and that
viper instinct that strikes from hiding.

without fear or favor. not of another

mean. an anthology Of neighbors by
inclusive OF all that they

would mean to town big or little, a

evil that men (and women) do and
have done within the memories of the
What morssls Of an
