Thanks from Mr.. and Mrs. jackson,

Editor Register-We want to ex-
tend our thanks to our neighbors and
many friends for the kindness they
have shown US since the destruction
of our house by fire, February 10th,
Our little grandson, Delbert White,
was killed by a runaway team; we
were all called away from home, and
while we were gone our house smoke
house and everything we had was
burned up. Since that time we have
tested our friends and neighbors and
found them true as steel. We also
want to thank our friends in Ironton
for their liberal donation. We want
everybody to know we certainly ap-
preciate everything that has been
done for Us. We have received pres
ents from New Mexico and Kentucky,
and quite a little donation from our
friends in Fredericktown. We had a
little working" the goth of March
and had about % men out, and every
man did a good days work, and al
most finished covering our house, and
our neighbors, Mr.. and Mrs. Propst,
helped serve dinner for the men, for
which we are very thankful. There
is nothing that beats good neighbors
and friends,

One Senator Lodge two years ago,
in his partisan fervor, said some
things which later he vas constrained
to retract and apologize for. That
experience ought to moderate his
perkiness now, don't you think?

SENATOR LODGE these days is ex-
plotting himself as an ardent support
or of the Monroe Doctrine and a de-
fender of the rights and privileges of
the Senate. He accuses President
Wilson with arrogating to himself
powers in the way of treaty-making, in
that he refuses to consult with the SEN
ate in advance as to "the provisions of
the constitution and the terms of the
treaty of peace" now pending. The
Senator waxes eloquent-and, have
no doubt sheds Puritsnic tears-over
this u%surpation by Woodrow Wilson,
But let us go back a little for ''pre-
cedent," an article the Senator holds
in high esteem, and which I'VE all tie
more or less to.
A similar question arose in the SEN
ate in January, 1906, in regard to
President Roosevelt's action in re-
lation to the Algeciras conference and
and the Santo Domingo affair. This
Is what Senator Lodge, speaking on
the floor of the Senate Chamber, said
on January "a, 1906, in regard to
the respective powers of the President
and the Senate in the matters of
treaties Congressional Record, page
1470:) "No one, | think, a doubt
the absolute power of the President
to initiate and carry on all negotia-
tons; and after q treaty has been re-
ft5roaI ~ Ii-o r-;El t1o ,oE,RoR+;o~ 90
the Senate, to withhold it from ratifi-
cation if he sees fit to do so. There
is no doubt that the Senate can by
resolution advise to enter upon a
negotiation or to advise the President
to refrain from a negotiation; but
these resolutions have no binding
force whatever, and the action of the
Senate becomes operative and actual
ly effective only when q treaty is
actually submitted to it. We have no
possible right to break suddenly into
the middle Of q negotiation and de-
mdad from the President What in.
stractiOnS he has given to his Repre-.

What a wonderful change of con-
viction the intervening thirteen years
have wrought upon the heart and I'M
derstanding of the Senatori Or, as
the New York World expresses it,
sis there one co Institution for Repub-
lican Presidents and quite a different
constitution for Democratic Presi-
dents?" Senator. Spooner a great
constitutional lawyer (Republican>
said on the same occasion:
From the foundation of the Govern.
ment it has been conceded in practice
and in theory that the Constitution
vests the power of negotiation and the
various phases-and they are multi
farious-of the conduct of our foreign
relations exclusively in the President.
He does not exercise that constitu-
tional power, nor can he be made to
do it, under the tutelage or guardian
ship of the Senate or of the House, or
of the Senate and House combined.
If the Wisconsin Senator were in
the presence to-day would partisan
feeling switch him, too, to reversal
complete and damnable?

THE purpose of the League of Ma
tons is to prevent REQUIRE noes of the
horrors of the four years which lately
deluged the earth in blood and bur-
dened humanity with a load of debt
which it will take generations to
liquidate. 1 can understand and con-
denim the partisan spirit which would
prevent SO desirable a consummation;
but the animus which governs Mis-
souri's senior Senator is beyond my
comprehension. On occasion less
serious his pif1e about "England's
Interior designs" WOULD be amusing.

Bowling Green, KY, Aug. %.
Sam Dunnary, GAO Tenth St.,
Bowling Green, has been a popu-
lar and efficient member of the
local police force for many years.
His devotion to duty together
with a pleasant personality has
won for him the respect and ad-
miration of hundreds of friends.
This genial officer of the peace
has but one regret in dwelling
reminiscently upon his years of
service and that poor health.
How he has finally overcome
this difficulty, Mr.. Dunnary tells
in the following manner:

"Jacquou'' and "Nono'',

Passages, reminds one Of the modern and
thoroughly vital art Of Jules Renard Tone
of whose works by the way ought as
suredly to appear in this series). The
book Is a study of moral, mental and
physical degeneration. But unlike many
works of similar theme, it is in no way
morbid; the country air blows through its
pages, restoring the balance. Mono is q
tragic figure rendered doubly tragic from
the contrast sustained by the heartlessness
of his brutal associates. The scenes in
which he misses the one chance of happi-
ness-the love of his little daughter-are
heartrending. They are perhaps a little
too close to the raw material of life. The
wistful Laurette crawling "about the
house like an insect with broken legs is
almost too painful to be beautiful.
Here again in Mono the plot, such as
it is, is of no consequence. Character is
supreme, as it is in all great novels. To
have lived vigorously the life of these
peasants whose habits, appearance and
ideas are foreign to us, to have witnessed
their struggles against poverty and disease
and death, to have thrilled with their
simple or brutal pleasures, is to have
learned something more of hfe-not only
Of French but Of all life.
NM. LIE Roy and Roupnel do not Of
course sound the universal note of Balzae,
nor is their art the supreme art of Flau-
bert or Maupassant; they are none the
less considerable artists. They are men

remark, I've read those said he was look
ing for The Yoke, by Elizabeth Miller"
At the general court martial prison at
Paris Island, South Carolina, the 800
prisoners were given a chance to vote for
the books they wanted to read. Listen
to this report from Librarian Earl W.
Browning:
"Any librarian might be proud Of a
public that east a strong vote for the
works of Shakespeare, Shaw, Kipling end
Longfellow, and such single titles as Pea
bOdy's Religions Of a" Educated Nan,
Wilson's The Christ We Forget, James's
Psychology, Bergson's Matter and Mem
ory and Neweomb's Popular Astronomy"
One can generalize from such reports
only that the reading tastes of young men,
like those of other people, depend some
what upon their environment. 1t Is only
the men In the hospitals that ask for love
stories; testimony of hospital Libraries is
unanimous as to the desire Of the wounded
men from overseas for stories With girls
in them, "real American girls" When
wounded soldier calls for dad stuff as
they frequently term fiction of the "red
blooded" type, it is sign of approaching
eonvaleseenee. And they are inclined to
be critical even of "aetiou" stories. Miss
Clara W. Herbert reports this from
Walter Reed Hospital at Washington:
"a call came for bad stuff meaning
Wild West fiction. There wasn't book
