oUARRELING AMONG THEMSELVES.

Exhibit A OF radlcallsm really IN power IN
this country is given in North Dakota which IS
being run by the Non-Partisan League. The
new regime has not got very far but is already
engaged in lively quarrel. -Four Of the prin-
cipal state oiceholders Of the league are In full
revolt against 'the autocratic rule" OF the
league leader, A. G. Townley. The merits OF
the dispute need not be touched on here but the
fact of the dispute and its growing virulence is
worth attention. Radicalism makes its claim to
approval by the mass on the ground that it will
Danish autocracy and induct the public into real
control of it's own affairs. Once radicallsm gets
into power the most oppressive form of autoc-
racy appears and there is at once political
chaos and threatened overturning of the whole
machinery of law and its enforcement. Ii 1T
were not such a dangerous process, the best
means of curing the public of the infection Of
the radical germ would be to let radicalism give

THEIRS THE HARDEST LOT.

r. S., in Manchester Guardian:
Why was it that my eyes were dim
as we carried his body down to the
grave-the latest Of all those acres
of small white crosses? 1t was not
at the sublime words that fell from
the chaplain's lips on the faint
autumn air; in them there was hope.
1t was not at the thought Of him we
were to leave there. The distant
shining of the sea under the vaulted
blue; the Italian soldier who stood
beneath a pine tree on a little sandy
hill; statuesque, his hand raised in
that strange Italian salute as though
he were shading his eyes to gave out
to sea; the hush that was upon OUR
gathered comrades-all these things
were moving. but it was not because
of them that my eyes We're dim.
Working amid the multitude OF
graves were English girls, trousered,
hard handed, with big, heavy boots.
And my eyes were dim because l
thought Of thousands of girls whose
lives must now be given to nothing
more than that: keeping fresh and
green the graves of their men.

REMEMBER THE LUsITANIA.

Remember the Lusitania! Yesterday was the
fourth anniversary of that shocking revelation
of German ''kultur the first that came home
to us directly when SIX score of our citizens and
one thousand other innocent non-combatants,
women and children were murdered without
warning by power which had in advance of
the killing struck medal to commemorate the
event We now know that there is no crime
In the calendar, and no crime which has entered
into the heart of man to conceive which the
Prussian government would not joyfully have
committed. It was totally devoid of chivalry,
honor, decency computations. Under its
domination the world would have been a night
mare globe in which the forces Of evil prevailed
and criminal instead Of christian ideals con-
trolled international relations This is such an
abhorrent thought that many Americans were
loathe to accept it possible. But it is the lit
eral, actual truth. German triumph would have
been a disaster for mankind marking its de-
clension upon a downward path. Americans
should remember the Lusitana and pray that
no nation will again have power to 1out the
teachings of christianity and the laws Of God
and man.

Boston Transcript: One Of the
favorite amusements of those inter
ested in books has lately been to
watch the rapidly succeeding edi-
tons Of "The Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse" and venture guess as
TO how high they would reach. The
hundredth mark is well within sight,
and even the average reader. who is
rightly more interested in the book
than in the author or any other cir
cumstance connected with it, is be-
ginning to ask, who is this Vicente
Rlasco Ibanez, anyway? Has he ever
written much else? Is he a nine
days wonder produced by the war,
or is there something substantial to
the man and his works." The Curl
oSity is as natural, in this case. as
it is complimentary. Acquaintance
with Spanish literature being rather
a rare commodity in this country,
generally speaking, it is not strange
that quite as much transformation as
reliable data about Blasco Ibanez
should have been given out, some
times in places where more or less
exact information might have been
justly expected
Blasco Ibanez is not a man who
has tried to conceal his light under
a bushel; in fact, he has so often
exposed himself, in the cause of
popular liberty that the Spanish gov

A BABY REACHING FOR SMOKE.

BABY REACHING FOR SMOKE
Your gray eyes dance with ecstacy,
A ccoing chuclle lifts and purs,
And rosesoft, fingers laughingly
Grope as the slow smoke coils and cdrls.
Out of my pipe, spiral mist
You reach and close on, gay with hope
That in your tiny tightlocked fist
1t viii stay captive. Still you grope
And still it slips, dissolves, eludes
To feathery nothingness-and new
Pillar of grayness slowly broods
Up from the pipes bowl, teasing you
If once those rose-soft fingers turn
And find solid goal they gain
Only the soiling pipe, to burn
With reddening memories of pain.
Endlessly So we strain and grope
To reach some coiling, curling wrath
That circles notwithstanding ~hope,
Elusive truth, slipping faith.
And if too eagerly we yearn
To touch the soul of things that are,
We find the touch will soil and burn
And that its memory is-a scar

THE GOOD OF ADVERTISING.

Minneapolis Journal: In advertising
! business attempts to educate the ma
] ton in its consumption and expendi
lures. Through advertising, industry
takes on a highly social function. AID
yertising is the business mans way
Of teaching us-of directing our social
energy and product.
Charles Frederick Higham, Lon
don advertising man, is an interest

ing does for it. The public, he says
is accustomed to ask, WHO pays for
all Of this advertising?" and the an.
swer almost always is, THE public
pays for it, of course; the cost of adj
yertising comes out of the consumer"
Eut broadly speaking, says Mr.. Hig-
ham, modern scientific advertising
OF business that it saves much in the
cost Of production. 1t Is unscientific,
il it does not advertise.
The influence of advertising upon
tho public welfare, says Mr.. Higham,
Ties in its power to raise the stand
sTd of living all around" Through it
VIC learn the secret of true economy
which is always to buy the best that
che can afford. Advertising, he says,
has helped ito standardiZe goods; to
socialize manners; to individualize
taste 1t has beautified dress, demo-
cratized manners. 1t fosters health
full dissatisfaction with anything less
than the best"
Advertising greatly increases the
sale OF an article, widens the area Of
its use, guarantees its quality. It is
the heightened arm Of business and it
awakens the consumer to the posi-
bilities OF choice that are before him.
To advertise properly is to reduce the
cost Of production by increasing the

A FIRELEss TOWN.

Westerly, r. l., has an ambition.
It is to be fireless town. More than
this, Westerly is in fair way to real
ize her ambition.
A committee Of citizens has had
charge Of the fireless campaign which
was organized about five years ago,
and as testimony OF their efficiency in
presenting the idea to the public and
securing cooperation they report that
the number Of fires has diminished
from an average of over $4,000 worth
Of damage per year to about $4,000.
The number of fires has been less than
half what it was in the five years
previous to the beginning of the cam
paign.
Citizens were interested by means
of public meetings, letters, etc. The
school children were enlisted, and con-
tributed compositions on fire proven
.tion or short, pitfg suggestions, some
of which were SO much to the point
that they have become public notices
in Westerly.
Among the rules for avoiding fires
are suggested these:
Use safety matches only
Don't I'LL lamps when lighted
Cover an gas flames.
Don't use oil to start a ffre.
T, Don't leave electric IRON with cur
rent turned on.
Avoid gasoline for cleaning.
Don't leave oily rubbish about
Build bonf1res with care.
Simple enough. Yet when observed
as matter of local pride by an en-
tire city. they count up in results.
Most fires are preventable: all are
deplorable. Westerly has set good
example,
