DEADLY MoNoToNY AGES US.

contention that the war served as a
tonic for the American mind, quotes
Graham, a noted statistician of Bel
fast at is not the great tragedies
that sap the forces of the brain and
wreck the psychic organism. On the
contrary, it is the small worries, the
deadly monotony of a narrow and cir
cumscribed existence"
The centrifugal force of our dis
contentment, hurting us ever away
from sameness, cannot be artificially
thwarted for long without causing
trouble. Some people have too much
of this force in them and are hoboes;
others have not enough and sit in

WE NEED PRODUCTION.

The sudden cessation of the war
and the return of a great army of
men to the pursuits of peace involve
a difficult adjustment of industrial
and business conditions.
A great speculative fever followed
the civil war. because during that pc
Rod industry was stimulated to such
a degree that people became firm
believers in speculation. Fortunes
were made over night. and lost as
quickly. The miner carried his di-
vining rod and the merchant believed
he was born under lucky star.
Capital went into development
schemes ahead of requirements and
railroads were built where there was
no justification for such construction.
Specie payment was suspended, to be

ruin to many thousands.

OF course. the possession of this

GREATEST EASTER IN LITERA-
TURE

Boston Transcript.
Boswell is certain that he knew nc
man who "relshed good eating" as
much as Johnson. The pleasures OF
the table when he sat down to dinner
completely absorbed his attention
Ellis looks seemed riveted to his plate
nor would he. unless when in very
high company. say one word or even
pay the least attention to what was
said by others till he had satisfied his
appetite, which was so fierce, and in
dulged with such intenseness, that
when in the act of eating. the veins of
his forehead swelled. and generally a
strong perspiration was visible. To
those whose sensations were delicate,
this could not but be disgusting. /.
1t must be owned that Johnson,
though he could be rigidly abstem-
ious, was not temperate man either
in eating or drinking. He could re-
frain, but he could not use moder-
ately." Rather than fall into the
habit of taking too much wine, he
drank none, except on special occa-
sions during his last 20 years. Once
or twice he persuaded Boswell to be
"a water drinker, upon trial. but the
Scotchman had all the traditional
failings of his fellow ceuntrymen
and found it as hard to abstain as to
be temperate, But johnson was never
abstemious over his teacupS, and de-
scribed himself as a hardened and
shameless tea drinker."

The president has done well in veto
ing two of the great Appropriation
bills. in order that what he regards
as grave errors of judgment may be
corrected. One of the vetoes goes
without challenge. An effort is beng
made to pass the other over his veto.
The veto of the agricultural appro-
priation bill was caused by the fact
that congress tackled daylight saving
repeal on it as a rider. If the law
establishing daylight service is to be
repealed, it should be done in sep
arate bill standing on its own bottom.
The rider plan Of forcing legislation
through by attaching it to an appro-
priation bill is extremely pernicious,
since it prevents fair vote on the
merits of the measure.
The president objects to the repeal
of the law because it demonstrated its
beneficent effect on industry in the
trial given it last summer. There can
be no question that large saving in
fuel and power was erected nor tnat
the plan proved highly beneficial to
wage workers, because of the extra
hours of daylight it permitted them
to enjoy.
The farmers, however, found diff
Guilty in adjusting themselves to the
plan, and it must be admitted from
their standpoint the old way is better
In the first year of its trial, Canada
had daylight saving in the cities but
left the railroads and the country or
standard time. Daylight saving should
be saved to the cities.
The veto of the sundry civil bill was
based on the reduction in the appro-
priation for the vocational training
of those wounded in the war. There
is general agreement that this work
must have all the funds it needs A
reading of the debate in the house on
the measure shows that there was not
a clear understanding of the effect of
the clause agreed upon.
Congress is promptly repairing this
mistake.

THE TRAGIC CARLoTTA.

PrOVlnence Tx. L. journal
OF passing interest, with the Aus
trian throne on the scrap heap, is a
brief dispatch from Brussels stating
that the Empress Carlotta." widow
of Macmillan of Mexico, is living in
good health alta chateau not far from
the Belgian capital, where she has
been under kindly restraint for more
than generation of time.
She has now reached the age of 70.
but during the long period of her
widowhood so rarely has her name
appeared in the public prints that she
has been all but forgotten by the
world. Her reason was shattered so
years ago, as a result of her misfor-
tunes.
Carlotta and Meximilan are among
the personages whose association with
the house of Hapsburg has made
them a tragic memory. Princess
Marie Charlotte Amelie, daughter of
Leopold 1, king of the Belgians-aunt
to the present King Albert-was a
girl of II when welded to the Arch
duke Macmillan of Austria. She was
only "a when she Joined him in the
mad adventure to set up a European
throne at the City of Mexico. The
government at Washington was en-
gagged in the civil war at the time, and
the application of the Monroe doc
trine to the threatened situation was
necessarily deferred. But. promptly
upon the conclusion of the war, ma
poleon the Little" prime mover in the
vainglorious enterprise. was notified
that the French bayonets which alone
were supporting Maximilians en-
pire must be withdrawn-and General
Phil Sheridan was dispatched to the
border with an army of union veter-
ans to see that they were. Soon after
the hapless archduke was betrayed
into the hands of the hostile Mexicans
and shot.
He had sent Carlotta out Of the
country in time to secure her safety;
though that was not the purpose so
much as to have her carry out a plan,
said to have been insisted upon by
herself, of inducing the French en-
peror to send more troops. In the
Chateau de Bouchoute, Carlotta has
been unmindful of world events for
all the years that have elapsed. If
she heard the thunder of the German
guns in Belgium, it is doubtful if she
understood their meaning.

THE BRIDE TO JAPAN.

The record of the bride conferred
in the treaty to Japan. by which
China is to be robbed of one of her
richest territories. inhabited by forty
million Chinese. is one of the most
shameful chapters in human history.
The excuse given by Senators Hitch
cock and Williams for the presidents
agreement to the cession of Shantung,
is that Japan would not sign the
treaty without it. President wilson is
said to have told the democratic lead
ers that Japan undoubtedly will yield
back Shantung in sixty or seventy
years to China! The president is not
simple enough to believe that state
mont.
Hut, because Italy is financially at
the mercy of the United States. there
fore was forced to sign the treaty,
the Italian city of Fiume was with
hcil from her, and goes to the Hun
garians who fought the allies during
the war.
The London agreement was that
Italy was to have Fiume. The presi-
dent set his face firmly against rec
oguition of such obligation entered
into before the United States declared
a state of war with Germany. He said
it was highly immoral. But he has
given his official signature to ratifi-
cation Of a similarly made agreement
with Japan,
The great moral difference is that
the people of Fiume want to be an
neXed to Italy. while the Chinese of
Shantung are bitterly opposed to be-
ing ruled by Japan.
The president says Japan will only
have the ports and the railroads of
Shantung and that her police inter
ference will be confined to their pro-
lection. Is any person simple enough
tn believe that statement?
When Japan entered Korea it was
with the understanding by the world
that merely a protectorate was in
tended--something really benevolent,
like that contemplated in Shantung.
How that protectorate has worked
out, the civilized world knows today
to its horror.

his vision is keen for the high lights

In the issue of the Saturday Even

self-assertion. When he found him

The most pertinent sentence, and
certainly not even Mr.. Bryan would

Bryan's career. history has failed to
justify any position he ever took on

Bryan was wrong on the tariff,
wrong on silver, wrong on the results
of the Spanish war; wrong on govern

policies of this nation in Mexico,
wrong as to army and navy, wrong as
to our duties in the world war.
Mr.. Bryan was always wrong, Except
when it came to emassing dollars for
himself. On that one thing his judg-
ment was well nigh infallible. He

when he invited all of the members of
tht house and senate committees on
foreign relations to meet him.
But the republicans were too much
interested in winning the war to allow
the hostility of the president to inter
fere with their votes for what they re-
garded as best for the nation. They
voted for his measures even when
they regarded them as unwise. be-
cause they knew in such crisis there
must be solidarity behind the chief
executive of the nation.
But it is different now. The war

which will shape the future actions
of this nation. Nothing is pressing
for hasty action.
The senate of the United States was

Tht president now admits that he

from Paris the first time committed
to abrogation of the Monroe doctrine
as an American policy. Both he and
Mr.. Taft were agreed that the United
States must surrender that doctrine
in the interest of world peace. Now
the president says he was able to re-

to believe he should be congratulated
for so doing.
But the country will watch with in

best guess is that when he learns Ad-
