How fortunate it was that the
Adair county boys, who either died or
were killed in France, took the pre-
caution to insure their lives. Several
of them were members of poor fami-
lies, and were the main stay. Money
is not a recompense for life, but this
Insurance shows that the soldier boys
had an affectionate feeling for the
loved ones left at home, and that if
misfortune befell them, the provision
they were making would help their
parents in their old age, or others who
we're dependant upon them.

Was in the Fighting.

Mr.. Thomas Tarlton Watson, son of
Rev. and Mrs B. T. Watson, this
place, arrived last Tuesday afternoon.
1t was a happy meeting of husband
and wife, father and mother. LiGtle
baby Watson is too young to under
stand, his father having entered the
army two months after marriage.
Mr.. Watson was a member of the
Rainbow Division, and was in the
fighting almost from the time he land
ed in France. During hostilities
about one-half of his division was kill
ed or died from wounds. Mr.. Watson
was himself wounded and was in a
hospital six or eight weeks, but as
soon as he was able for duty he went
to the front.
1t has not been our pleasure to meet

understand he has a thrilling story.
The Rainbow Division perhaps did
more hard fighting than any other
body of American soldiers. When
William Tarlton, the little son, grows
old enough to understand, the stories
related by his valiant father will be
Of great interest to HIM; and he will
certainly be proud Of his sier, who
fought desperate foe in the defence
of the flag of the United States.
Mr.. Watson is a stranger here, his
parents having removed from Illinois
to Columbia after he entered the SER
vice.

Permanent State Exhibit Here.

From time to time in the past
projects have been advanced for hold
ing here permanent exhibits of the
states of the Union, to give to visitors
to the capital, who include many from
all parts of the world, a conception
of the resources and activities of the
various members of the American
commonwealth. Nothing has ever
come of this plan, though it has been
actively urged and generally regarded
with favor. 1t is now suggested, how
ever, that the scheme may be coupled
with the erection in this city of ma
tional memorial to the men of America
who have served in the great war. 1t
would be a worthy tribute to them.
Every state could contribute in the
form of separate building, symbolic
and expressive. It would stimulate a
patriotic interest in the states, and
would, moreover, serve distinctly
practical purpose in presenting IN
concrete form the distinctive evil
dences of each states progress and
advantages. At the conference of
governors held here during the inau-
guration week two years ago the plan
was favorably considered, and would
probably have been put through in
some form but for the entrance of
the United States into the war, which
naturally checked every enterprise of
this character. Now it is revived, and
in circumstances to promise results.
There is very distinct hope here
that the people of the states will rec
ognize the importance of thus con
tributing to memorial in way to
keep definitely before the eyes of the
nation and of those from abroad the
material factors of their prosperity
and evidences of their development.

Landing on a Roof.

jules Fedrines has performed some
remarkable feats with the airplane,
but none that is more significant of
possible future practical development
than his performance at Paris in light
ing on the roof of a large department
store. The roof is fifty-two feet wide
and about seventy-fve feet long.
Fedrines' plane was thirty-six feet
wide. If this sort of thing can be
done regularly without accident the
problem of starting and stopping
planes in regular use may be solved.
At present the machines are handled
only from large fields, which of neces-
sity must be located at distance from
the center of a city unless urban parks
should in the future be devoted to this
purpose. Vedrines' performance mere
~ demonstrated the landing POSSIBLE
ity and it is yet to be shown that q
plane can be sent up from a roof.
Prof. Langley's experiment with his
machine failed for lack of an ade-
quate launching stage. After his death
the machine itself was proved to be
practicable engine for fight. The
Wright brothers originally used q spe-
cial device with counterweieht and
launching skids, and they had carried
the airplane to high deyslepment

Germany's Million Mark President

Friedrich Ebert. the first President
of Germany, is to receive a salary of
100000 marks, the equivalent of
about $250,000 a year. Which sug-
gests that there is no lack of funds
i'll Germany. Also, that the scale of
official munifeence is not to be mea-
ger, but that the transition from au-
tocracy to democracy is to be soft
ened. And, Furthermore, it may indi-
cate that those now engaged in max
ing Germany over into republic are
bent upon putting as much of the pub
lie funds into the privy purse of off
Gals as possible in order to reduce
the amount of cash available for in
IDENTITIES, or reparations, or whatever
war bills assessed against Germany
may be styled.
OF course, the war bills will be
formulated without regard to the new
scale of official expense in Germany
Herr Ebert might be granted five mil
ion marks for his official maintenance,
with other funetionaries in proportion,
and the sum would not stand as an off
set against the charges against the
German resources TO make good in
some measure the damages of war
Perhaps Herr Ebert is a million
mark man. He must be a person of
exceptional capacity to have ridden
so successfully into Office during the
period of transition. He first became
known to the world eonspicuously by
his nomination as chancellor of the
reorganizing empire, upon the abdi-
cation of the emperor and the appoint
ment of Prince Macmillan as regent.
Suspicion naturally chung TO him as
not 100 per cent republican. Maxi
milan faded away, but Ebert remain
ed at the head of affairs Liebknecht
tried to GUST him, and Liebkneeht lost
both his move and his life. Others
sought to overthrow him, and Ebert
held fast. Maybe he has earned his
million-mark job. 1t remains to be
seen whether he will be worth that
much as an administrator under CON
stitution.

Archives Building Needed.

Secretary Glass asks Congress to
appropriate at once for beginning
work on q new building for the hous-
ing of the archives of the government.
Congress has already approved the
project for such structure, but the
funds have not been provided. 1t is
vitality important that no more time
be lost in starting the actual con-
struction.
The government has never had an
adequate archives storage equipment
During the nearly century and half
Of its existence it has accumulated
many files of permanent value, doeu-
ments and records the destruction of
which would be an irreparable loss
These files have grown rapidly during
recent years, and at present the rec
ord volume is enormous.
In every one of the government
buildings much space is occupied by
the storage of the non-current files
reports, records, papers of every kind
This space Is needed for the work OF
clerks. There is no place to which &c
remove them, and to permit them t.
remain where they are exposes them
to the danger of destruction.
II is inevitable that the government
VIII eventually erect a commodiou.
structure for the safe-keeping Of these
files and records, conveniently sit.
uated and capable of expansion. A
site in relation TO the general plan
of public building emplacement has
been chosen, but not disclosed, and
all that is necessary is an appropria
ton to begin work. 1t is for that
appropriation that the Secretary OF
the Treasury now asks, and it should
be granted without question at thu
present session of Congress.
