LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
"Deme of Democracy

MT. Editor: We are soon to choose an- other architect who will continue the building of our great dome of democracy, which has been under construction for nearly century and a half. It seems to be great question in the minds of the American people who this chosen one .shail be. The more time I spend reading the various issues of both parties, the more sam I reminded of the incident as it is recorded in the annals of the most democratic republic of medieval Italy, that, in her pride of institutions and arts, sne decreed the building of a cathedral dome far greater and more beautiful than any the world had ever seen. >
 The great architect, Anolfo, having laid the foundations, died; and no one was deenned worthy to finish his work. For a century the republic sought far and near, but an architect able thus to give glory to Florence and Italy could not be found.
 Meanwhile absurd projects were multi piled. Some proposed a dome supported by a central pillar; but it was voted that a dome which must forever be artihcally supported is but a poor, sickly no-donae. Others proposed a dome of pumicestone but it was voted that when a great re- public rears a mighty monument for the ages IL may HOL Oc oL puilICcstOACs Others still proposed to heap a noun tain of earth, to scatter coins therein, to round off it's summit, to build the dome | upon this as a support, and then to ad- l init swarms of beggars, who should carry away the mountain of earth to sift 1 it for it's money. This was voted irnprae- l ticable.
 l Our great dome. of democracy was founded by one of America's greatest men. Its foundations great truths, far more lasting than mere granite it's pill. lars great rights, far more beautiful than mere porphyry; its roof great hopes
 swelling higher than any dome of bronze or gold.
 l But if we choose the architect who wishes .te support this great dome of de mocfacy upon pillar such as the British Wilson league, as it is often called, VI l will have but q poor, sickly no-dome This dome is to be mighty monunen

1T suppose it's Freddie wso is taking you out tonight?" inquired the girl with blue daisies on her hat, who had just dropped in for minute.
 ''of course" agreed the girl who was powdering her nose with one hand and pulling on a pump with the other. Its always Frederick when 1t rains or siushes or tornadoes That man has a positive genius for appointing an even ing of pleasant recreation which is go- ing to turn out to be an atrocity in the line of weather! Why, if on January 1 Frederick should ask me to go on pic nic Augusta there would be a howling blizzard on that date !'
 Well. you always can say you won't gc," heIpfulIy suggested the girl wear ing blue daisies. Why don't you?"
 Because" explained the girl who was frantieally getting ready, there isn't . bit of use refusing to 70 places with a man whom you know you will eventually marry. You have to go places with him then and you might as well begin. haven't bit of doubt that I should be married to Frederick this minute if only he had better sense of the appropriate ness of things"
 The which?' stuttered her caller in deep interest. "If you're looking fei your hair net it is right there all tangled up in the manicure scissors."
 Besides always taking me out in the worst weather he Can find" proceeded the ssrl who was getting ready, search. ing for extra hairpins in her handkef- chief box. The invariably chooses the most inconvenient moment possible for proposing to me and no girl on earth is going to say yes to a man when she is absolutely furious at him for not hay. ing better sense about the fatal moment
 ''The first time Frederick told me he wanted to mary me was when we had just got out of the car going to the Dinsmores' dance = and when I jumped out I landed in two feet of snow. Wher you are standing in snowbank in $1s gold slippers that you know tarnish ant realize that the wind has torn your care fully marceIled hair from it's moorings and it is floating in all directions ana you are trying to grab your flrs to gether around your bare neck and catci your breath at the same time, you don much care how man adores you.

 both had a miserable evening.
 And there was perfectly wonderful conservatory at the Dinsmores with palms and trickling fountain and gar den seats and everything-and wouldn't you have thought that man with any
 sense would have picked that out as

 If you're looking for the sachet pow der" offered the girl with blue daisies, Its tipped ever back of that picture?" ''Frederieks picture" commented his loved one bitterly You see even his photo has maligna powder! Then when had sert of forgiven him for the snow- bank he asked me downtown to dinner and the theatre. We walked from the restaurant to the theatre because it was just around the corner = and a flood of rain descended precisely as we stepped onte the walk Sc we ran, and I could feel the water splashing and oozing into my patent feathers and knew 1t was spot ting my new satin dress, to say nothing of my brand new hat, and the minute we struck the lobby Frederick. called me his poor drowned child and proposed again while I was Tringing water out. of my skirt and surveying the water stains on my elbow length white kid gloves.

session of it.
 Whatever the results at Riga it is not to be supposed that the boisheviSi are giving up any territory at the present time that they are not being forcel to. Regardless of such endorsements as they may have been able to bring lp, or the reserves that they are reputed to have, the fact stands out that they have not been able to use them effectively enough thus far to stop the Poles fol- lowing the advance which the latrer have made after the defense Of Warsaw
 Contrary to the situation when an ar mistice was asked, Poland is not now fighting with it's back to the wall Its armies do not appear to be in any dan ger of being beaten or surrounded and such gains as it makes between now and any agreement which the Riga confer ence reaches will simply serve to strengthen its position as to the future boundary line. Poland appears to have come back and come back strong. !

HOPELESS LENS MINES
Resumption of. Mining in French Coal District Not Expected
 Until in 1891.

PARIS, Feb. 1S.-Although all pos sible efforts to reconstruct the war. Shattered mines of Lens have been and are being made, there is now no hope that a single ton of coal will be extracted before 1921. In fact, the task of bringing back Lens to it's former prosperity is so immense that it is not expected that the town and it's mines will return to anything like their former state before 1928 or 1929. ... su
 Provided that the work can be car ried on without interruption, it will take all 1920 to clear the underground workings of the debris with which they were choked by the Germans. Most of the workings. and all the deeper ones, are flooded.
 plan for drawing off the water has been arranged The reconstruc- tnon and repair of the tubing will be carried out by German workmen. and the cement for the purpose will be brought with Germany. The pump ing out of the mines is expected to take at least three years. It is hoped by that year it will be possible to ex- tract coal from the first galleries, which are only 500 feet deep, but it is not expected that the water will be pumped out of the lower workings which run down to 2,250 yards, until 1923 or even 1924.
 The railways in the Lens district will not be completely repaired till 1921. Of the 500 workmen's dwell ings belonging to the Miners Society. not hundred can be repaired. Four hundred concrete huts are to be built in which it is hoped to house the B. 900 workers who will be employed in the clearing of the pit for the next two or three years.
