It requires cour- age to sound Hiaand mon upon the matter. And, then, 1t must be remem- bered that the bAgpipes are also an Irish instrument, which ushers in complication. To deny melody to bag pipes in the presence of Scotsman and an Irishman would be taking grave risks Sir George Grove tells us that there are English, Breton, Calabrian. Netherland and German varities of bag pipes, and it can be shown that. how ever much some people may prefer the lute or violin to the pipes, the origin of them is lost in the mists of antiquity. For aeons music has been attributed drones. About tastes there is no dis putting A symphony concert might be thought complete without the skirl of the pipes-except to g. loyal Scot.
 They were quarreling and gibing about the bagpipes in Shakespeare time Singing through the nose is not thought an accomplishment. In "The Merchant of. Venice" we have: When the bagpipe sings f the nose" Also, Why, he cannot abide a wooden bagpipe.' But in "A Winters Tale" the Scots find a modicum of cen- solation: You would never dance again after a tabor and pipe; no, the bag pipe could not move you" It would sug- gest to him William Remnants Rab the Banter, most inspiring piper who
 Rejoices in his pipes and squeals serenly on.
 Skirl is the respectful verb. To your true Scot the strains of the bagpipes are dulcet At the relief of Lucknow they were the finest music in the world. Procopius, by the way, says that the

pipes of his time were the instrument of war of the Roman infantry. It is impossible not to want to fight when you hear them playing the overture to battle. That is why the Black Watch has always been so formidable. A Scot excited by the pipes is invincible. He is host in himself. One of the most stirring invocations ever written, The Pibroch of Donald Dhu." could have been inspired only in the Trossachs, written only where the heather grows. It would kindle conscientious objec- tor until he blazed into headlong valor. That bagpipes yield martial music su- perior to the throbbing of the drum is beyond dispute. Do they also make con- cord of sweet sounds, utter the music of love and sentiment. appeal to the soul. as it were? Perhaps it depends upon the time and place and the hear- er The Scot is not an unbiased wftr ness The bagpipes are real music tol him. In, foreign parts they draw tears of nostalgia from him.

II is rather difficult to conceive of even a Scotsman making similar proposal to hear a piper attempt that immortal melody. But 200 compositions and fore can be blown out of the pipes.

Lifetime In Newspaper Work

T am frequently asked if I do not un- consciously find myself on the way to the Ledger building" said George M. Cruik- shank" and if I do not miss the daily
 grind of writing editorials?"
 Well, I confess that I am just begin ming to get accustomed to quit seeing editorials in things I read or hear, for it is hard to turn ones back on a work in which one has spent the greater part of his life. It is true that I was reared in the atmosphere of a newspaper begin ming on the old Talladega Reporter when it was owned by my father. While
 read law and practiced for a couple ot
 years yet all the time I was doing news- paper work, so can say that have been in the game from boyhood until just q few months ago"
 "The same is true of my old friend John lC. Williams, owner and editor of Our Mountain Home. We were boys together, and John in the days when he had to get out and hustle for business was 8 great success as circulation builder, though I believe he told me once that he had never directly solicited an ad- vertisement.'

From the Memphis CommercMl-Appea1. The unwritten law has been invoked in the courts of Shelby county twice within the last year, and both times it has not saved the accused.
 The unwritten law is still strong in- strument for the defendant, but we have progressed to the point where a mere statement that ones home has been vio- lated must be proven. Time was when one man might kill another and hint insulted and beat the case. Now juries are beginning to ask for proof. and when the proof is not forthcoming the jury makes it doubly hard for the defendant

PICKLE ITALIANS .

From the Chattanooga Times
 If the Italians really did change the name of wilson street" in Rome to 'F1ume street." it only shows that the Italians were the most consummate hypocrites on the occasion of the Presi- dents visit to Rome. and that their hearts beat, not for the fourteen points," but for the territorial fruits of their gunnery. Besides, President Will son doesn't care whether a street in Rome is named after him or not He's looking to history for vindication and to the American people for indorse- ment and to Rome for nothing.y

THE SLEEPING BEAUTY

From the Sidney (Australia) Bulletin. She lies upon gilded couch,
 Her round white arms beneath hes
 head, And shadowy slaves about her crouch. Mute and immobile as the dead. Soft azure silks her limbs enfold, And shimmering gauges fine as mist, And milky veils with broidery scrolled We'll her thick tresses' henvy twist. Some glittering dream the day beguiles. Some sweet thought through ths
 dreaming slips. For joy too delicate for smiles
 Haunts the curved flower of her lips And shrived she seems from stress and
 dole.
 As one who seems in magic trance Through the dark forests of the soul The silver footed fairies dance. No voice may break the calm profound Nor echo pierce to where she lies To stir the vision that has bound
 The languid glimmer of her eyes Nothing till Eventide shall press
 Those lips and break the trhnceo swoon That holds in thrall this fair princess The golden summer afternoon.

 S nishing the great personal fig- ures Of the war. Joffre, planning ana directing the battle of the Marne; Foch' the generalissimo, timing and carrying through the most complicated mass move ment in military history; Clemenceau, the civilian, animating France with his owE spirit-here are three men to be celebrated as long as human fingers hold pens ana brushes" All that is said of these three Frenchmen is correct and just; yet we think the Tribune is curiously at fault in confining its list of great personal figures to these three names.
 Why ignore MT. Wilson? He was very decided personal figure in ways too familiar to enumerate here. What Of Pershing? Not so picturesque as some or the others-yet, was it not pretty lnci- dent when he hunted up Foch in the dark hour and offered him all that America had? Was it not Pershing's initiative and personality that. put the American army on the offensive months ahead of sched- ule? Was 1t not Pershing's idea that the Americans assisted by the French, were capable of forcing even the Argonne for- est and thus striking the greatest possible neril to the enemy? Why not put kitch- eners name high up on the list? lie was
 picturesque, he was startling, he was tremendous. He foresaw at least three years war when others said six months would see the end He organized that first great British army and sent it to France.

 | Whatever many of us may sometimes feel impelled to say about Lloyd George ;t cannot be denied that he was most energetic. capable and interesting wal Header. Haig was a quiet man. He saio very little. He was not showy. bu' his very quietness made him to many oi tus a most attractive personal figure when it was seen. as all the world saw !! what kind of soldier he was. Sir Jonr French took the first British army to the lcontinent, but after some six months nc was removed and Haig was put mt command.
