a FIGHTING HONOR

The selection Of Paul Hymans. an
eminent Belgian, to be permanent
president of the League of Nations,
will interest the general public, not
because Of any special knowledge
which it has of the Individual. but
because of the recognition given to
the nation which he represents.
The attack on Serbia in the sum
mer OF 1914 was an incident. Aus
s,rian .autocracy thought that it saw
therein an opportunity to serve its
own ENDS. But the attack on Bel
gum was an essential part of a pre-
arranged plan by which it was in
tended that the little nation should
forfeit its independence and pass UNI
der the sovereignty of the kaiser.
Belgium could have saved herself
much grief had she yielded to the
denonstration of irresistible force.
But she chose to resist, and to yield
up her liberty only with her life.
The selection Of a Belgian to pre-
side over the world league which has
been formed in the hope that it may
prevent future catastrophes like the
world war while Germany, the ag-
gressor in that conflict, must await
the pleasure of the other nations be-
fore being permitted to join their
company. in an exhibition of that
paetic justile which l., perhaps more
usual than we often think it. suggests

When it came to the cutting up of the

Other nights, with the help of Will
and Hester, Michael gave dernonstya-
tons of potatoes, and other yegeta-
bles, with regular lessons on how to
get the best results with these par

some skilful manner to serve a very
tasty r~efreshment from roasted pota-

MINOR COMPLICATIONS.

Because: of oversight in The draft
ing Of certain Of our laws there is
doubt as to the time when the in
itiated laws approved at the recent
election will take effect. The con-
stitution as it stands now provides
that laws so enacted shall take erect
80 days after the election at which
they were approved That period
will expire on December 9. But UNI
less steps are taken for which there
appears to be no provision no n will
have official knowledge of the result
OF the election until after that date.
The vote cast in state election
must be canvassed by the state can
Wasting board. The regular time for
the meeting OF the canvassing board
will be December z. The question
is whether the board must be called
into special session 30 that the re-
suit OF the election may be pro-
/ claimed before the expiration Of the
80 days. OF the operation Of the laws
mus await the action Of the board
in regular session.
A similar question arose some time
s with reference to. the date on
which supreme court judges assumed
Office. That situation was harmon
lied in some way-we have forgotten
aiust how-and the present one will
yield to treatment. 1t does not sar-
pear that a decision either way will
lead to very important results, al
though there are always possibilities
when litigation is undertaken.
It is impossible, az it will always
be, to avoid complications and in
ssconsistenc:cs in the enactment Of laws
Sometimes these discrepancies are un-
important. Occasionally they prove
decidedly embarrassing. They are
to he avoided wherever possible. One
way to avoid them is to exercise carr
in tine drafting Of laws. so that the
claw may accomplish VIII is intended
and nothing more. and that it may

existing laws whi:h It is desired t.

That end cannot be reached BY

vegetables for their inspection.
One night he brought three or four
gnarled, little green-skinned, sour,
speckled apples, poorly favored. He
called attention to them very care
fully. and then because an apple was
a treat, however poor it might be, he
asked them to notice the flavor as
they ate. Then he procured three tor
fQhr n.lgnifdent specimens OF apple
h46d, crimson and fellow. with pol
ished skin and delicious flavor, and

some more Of 1.-The little specked

Sam, and he longed now to have His

"'Oh. sure!" said Sam much relieved
that Michael had not mentioned laws

farm implements, and Sc.

near Old Orchard to do some early

walked up the noisy midnight street,
and turned into the avenue, why
don't you get Hester to go down there
and sing sometime? Sunday after

And that night was the beginning
of outside help for Michael's mission.
Hester fell into the habit of going
down Sunday afternoons, and soon
she had an eager following Of sad
eyed women, and eager little chill
dren; and Will french spent his
leisure hours in hunting up tricks and
Igames and puzzles, for ''the kids,

Michael had fully comprehended what

With a quick exclamation Of grati-
