IGNORANCE OF A KING.

Philadelphia Ledger: Clock dials
usually represent the hours by use
OF Roman numerals, but there Is one
curious variation The number four
in Roman numerals is commonly
represented by ~, but on most clock
dials It is four rs, as Hi. There is a
reason for this. 1t traces back to the
ignorance Of king of France who
ruled 600 years ago.
Tradition among watch and clock
makers has it. that the clock dial was
first made by Henvy Wick in the yea:
1870, and he made it for Charles v.
or Charles the Wise, of France.
Charles was not as wise as he looked
OF as his name would suggest. When
the dial of the clock was submitted
for his approval he studied 1t long and
carefully. Finally he remarked, THE
clock is all right with one exception.
Tho figure of o'clock should be four
rs instead of w"
Your majesty Ia wrong" answered
Wick. Nv is tho proper symbol rur
four"
Charles bristled up with offended
dignity and Numbered at tho timid
cloclmaker. II am never wrong.
Take this dial away and correct your
mistake"
There was nothing else to do. In
all his subsequent clock dials Wick
was compelled to use the symbol Or

DRESS AND CONDUCT.

Boston Herald: It Isl said that old
cinemt films are used to make "stif-
Jennings for the toecaps Of boots
and shoes. The statement led Lon.
doner. to voice his perturbation in
his fayorite newspaper Suppose q
piece Of a Charlie Chaplin forms a
part of my boot, can l be sure that
it will not suddenly break out into
the Charlie Chaplin shuttle in the
Strand? And if l am suddenly moved
to trip up policeman. can l success
fully plead in court that the CHEEKY
influence of the little Bit Of film led
me astray?" .,e
This recalls a story written some
years ago by F. E. Chase in which a
man purchased at secondhand shop
a frock coat once worn by preacher
and q pair of trousers that had be-
longed to a dead-game sport. When
he wore the coat with another pair
of trousers he was an example to the
young and fit to be chairman Of
philanthropic committees; he was
even mentioned us an overseer Of
Harvard.
When he wore the trousers with
another coat his conduct was repre-
hensible, shocking. He was led willy
nilly into drunkeries, into all vile re-
sorts. When he donned coat and
trousers together there was fearful
struggle, only equaled by that OF the
justly celebrated Hercules when, a
youth, he was solicited by Pleasure
and Virtue in the gllise of two appro-
priately CARRIED women.

THE CASE OF MOONEY.

Buffalo Times: In all the multi
tudinous developments which have
taken place regarding the case OF
Thomas ]. Mooney, nothing has more
signaily confirmed the position of
the Times, that this affair should be
handled, not by agitation, but by
regular processes of inquiry and
judicial scrutiny, than the Densmore
report, now made public.
This report is no result OF ex-
citable methods. 1t is no sequel OF
a sympathetic strike" or of any
of the counsels which have unwisely
urged upon labor such resort. 1t
is the outcome Of a deliberate and
careful scrutiny conducted at the
instance of the United States gov
eminent. And the report holds in
effect that Mooney should have a
new trial.
Now, whatever differences of
opinion may be given rise to by the
Densmore reports. this is certain,
that by the government investigation
of which the reports is the sequel,
Mooney gets far more Of help to-
ward securing new trial, than he
could have obtained by all the vio-
lent talk and more than questionable
agitation, which some of those who
profess to be his friends, have re-.
sorted to in his behalf.
And what applies to Mooney ap-
plies to any man in a situation
similar to his.
Orderly processes, of investiga-
ton Of evidence, and as exempli-

MEXICO'S SHUFFLING.

Even the department of state which on the
whole manifested complacence toward the
Mexican government accuses it of shuffllng In
the latest publicity attempt to satisfy American
resentment 1t announced that the government
of Mexico has commission at work to deter
mine the rightful claims of the citizens OF this
and other nations for destruction OF life and
property But our state department warns our
public that this commission has no power to
act and no standing in its own land OF sort to
give it an accredited place IN domestic or for
eign affairs Mexico is seeking to temporlze.
No wonder She has made teInporlzlng pay.
Carranza has been outwardly friendly, even
conciliatory, when he really induced to be-
heve something definite might be done by the
United States But as soon apprehension of
this is removed he shows himself as inimicably
disposed as ever.
OF what real worth VIII it be that certain
clauses of the Mexican constitution relating to
oil properties be changed if Carranza counter
ances disregard of legitimate property rights
held by foreign interests? The Mexican constl-
tuition has in times past had little bearing on the
actual treatment of foreign affairs in Mexico.
Until there is law and respect for it in Mexico
itself. the law of the land is but feeble pro-
lection against brigandage. What Carranza s
representatives are saying now amounts to an
admission that he is powerless to protect our
citizens If this be true, it is reasonable that we
protect them. There is other great nation
that would bother much about the matter. If
Carranza had been neighbor to Great Britain or
France or Japan, he would have moved from
talk to action long ago, or been removed from
the scene

KEEP EYE ON LoWDEN.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: There Is
a distinct drift among republicans in
this country toward Lowden, now gov
ernor of Illinois, as likely prospect
for the republican nomination for
president next year.
In many respects Lowden answers
the requirements ironically laid down
by Daniel Webster after he had been
defeated for the whig nomination for
president by General Taylor. Webster
was without doubt the ablest man in
America at that time. But he was not
available for the reason that his &C.
tivity in public affairs had created SO
many antagonisms that there was
grave doubt in the minds of leaders
charged with the duty of selecting a
candidate about the ability of the
party to succeed with the Massa.
chusetts senator at the head Of the
ticket. Taylor hadn't voted for 40
years. He was popular because Of his
record in the war with Mexico. Web.
stcr know Taylor's short comings. But
he also knew that he was popular.
And so he insisted that he had but
one thing to commend him. This was
his great availability"
Lowden in no sense stands in the
same class with men like Taylor. Low
den is experienced in business, in
farming, in statecraft and as man
of affa.Ss all around. And in addi-
ton to these things he has the Taylor
advantage Of great availability.
This is at once apparent when you
look over the field. Taft Is one of the
biggest and best men in America. But
he has been in the public eye and has
created antagonfsms and doubts as to
his political wisdom. Hughes Is a
very strong and a very able man. But
he ran for president and was defeated.
Weeks and Lodge of Massachusetts
belong in the class with those against
whom objections can be raised. Borah
has lost his poise and balance. John
son Of California is strong but has
weak points. Root is too old. Hard.
ing of Ohio, Watson OF Indiana and
q score Of others who have political
strength and who have been counted
as possibilities are handicapped IN
! from one to a half dozen directions.
On the other hand LOwden Is COM
paratively free from these handicaps
He has not mixed in the league OF
nations fight. He was not active as
either standpatter or progressive in
recent republican squabbles. He is
giving Illinois good business admin
istration.
The military end of the proposition
lis not likely to prove dominant fac
tor in the selection of candidate oil
either party. Pershing is not setting
! the prairies afire as prospect. And
inc other commanding military figure
looms on the political horizon. No dis
respect is intended in this connection
for General Leonard Wood. Wood is
good man and he is justly and ser
iously considered a strong possibility
for the republican nomination.
Because of his qualities of available
lity and his undoubted ability to dis
charge the duties acceptably Lowden
is today in many ways the most likely
prospect of7the' repn b1ican party.
| The democrats are likely, also, to
select a man like A. Mitchell Palmer
as their standard bearer. There is nc
enthusiasm among democrats for VIII
J son for. third term. They stand fol-
his pictorial disposition but they don't
