back from his conquests in the east to

the Samnites. But the Marian party
was veg strong, indeed. One section of
the Marian party held Spain almost as

But Sulla crushed the Samnites and
the Marian party. BY doing so he saved
Rome from years of war if not from
partition. Then Sulla took for himself
the title of Perpetual Dictator, and the
supreme power of Rome.
Sulla spent his days in roofing out the
last opposition OF the popular party. and
in passing a series of laws that assured
the domination of the aristocracy. This
accomplished. Sulla gave up his office
and lived as a private citizen until he
died soon afterward.
There is no doubt that Sulla influenced
the destiny of Rome in a greater degree

ANOTHER IA POINTS
Here Are "A Points Agains Ratification of
tha Peace Treaty as It Is.

Here are Ia Points against the rati-
fication of the Peace treaty.
l. That Shantung provision is inter
national piracy. bringing dishonor to
any nation party to it.
2. Great Britain is given six votes
to Americas one, without justification
in reason.
3. By entering the League America
would abandon her traditional policy OF
non-interference in European affairs. :
4. The Monroe Doctrine would be
subject to Interpretation by the League
Council, as asserted by British officials
without contradiction.
5. The United States would be bound
to maintain armies in Europe to regu-
late purely European AFFAIRS.
6. Our constitutional provisionss that
Congress shall have power to raise
armies would be violated.
Z. Domestic questions, such as i'm
migration, tariff, and custwise trade,
will come within the jurisdiction of
the League if the foreign council SO
decides.
8. insignificant nations, like Liberia,
Hediaz, etc., would have voting
power in the assembly equal with the
United States.
8. The United States would be bound
to preserve the territorial integrity
and political independence OF every
member of the league, many of them
monarchies.
10. BY bringing the charge that it
involves threat of war, any nation
could require the United States to
submit any question to the League for
decision.
II. Article % requiring free transit
and equitable treatment of commerce
cauld be construed to forbid protective
tariffs.
IL. America, lndpstrially and tinan-
ciall strong, would become the burden
bearer of the world.
l3. The League covenant obligates
the United States to give full and frank
information concerning industries adap-
table to war-like purposes, thus put
ting American inoustry at disadvant-
age, since most important industries
are of such character.
ID. America has nothing to gain and
much to lose by entering the league.

SUFFERED FOR THEIR FAITH
French Huguenots Driven Into Exile
by the Revocation Of the Edlct
Of Nantes.

The Huguenots were the Puritans OF
France in the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries. The name was first
used about 1860; its origin Is un-
known. The Huguenots suffered Sc
verely in the reigns Of Francis l and
his immediate successors, and after
1862 were frequently involved in war,
under the leadership of such men as
Admiral Coligny and King Henry of
Navarro, afterwards Henry " of
France. Coligny and from 10000 to
10000 others fell in the massacre of
st. Bartholomew, August "a, 1872. 1t
is disputed in history whether this
was suddenly caused by the discov-
cry of HuguenOt plots or had been
premeditated In spite of all this,
they continued numerous and power
full and the edict of Nantes, issued in
1893 by Henry " gave them full pO-
litical and civil rights. Their power
was broken after the surrender of
LaRochelle and the revocation of the
edict of Nantes by Louis XIV in 1853,
and hundreds of thousands of Hugue-
n0ts went into exile, going to Prus-
sia, Holland, Switzerland, England,
Scotland and America.

Some Early American History.

The Automobile Blue Book rakes up
some early. American history. Man
kato, Mimi, in pioneer days was the
domain of the Sioux Indians. In 1862
this tribe, according to the tour bible,
became dissatisfied with the slowness
of the government in paying their an
nuities. Taking advantage of the fact
that the Civil war had taken so many
men from the country, the Sioux in
augurated one of the bloodiest mas
sacres in the history of Indian war
fare. The Indians were ultimately
overcome by troops and imprisoned
in Mankato. However, President Lin
coin commuted the sentence of all but
80. One of these died and the other
38 were hanged from one scaffold on
the levee in Mankato. The spot Is
now marked by a monument.
