A Happy Expression,

Gratitude may be thought a senti-
ment somewhat unsubstantial. but it
has its effect nevertheless. 1t found
its expression in the attitude with
which our soldiers entered France
and though it became threadbare in
some degree before the conflict ended
it has again found expression in at
tention paid by the French people to
the graves of American soldiers on
Memorial Day.. One of the finest ex-
pressions Of the sentiment which
should subsist between the American
and the French people was made by
General Mangin in which he com
pared our friendship to that (which
one forms in childhood-friendship
which cannot be superseded and that
one retains throughout the trials OF
life, forever indestrnctible and ce-
mented on the battlefields of France

Mccall as a Tariff Maker.

(Sprlnghcld Union, Itep.)
In looking for Republican to fiji
the vacancy on the Tariff Commits
sion, it was less important that the
President should indulge his inclina-
ton to show appreciation of some
measure of service or support rem
dered to him personally, than that he
should select Republican with Re:
publican convictions upon a protec-
tive tariff. In offering the place tc
former Governor Mccall of this state
he has apparently been able to make
the slightest concession to his politi-
cal antipathies. inasmuch as Mr.. Nc
Call has upon occasion advocated
standing by him, even to the extent
of making Senator Walsh the some
what doubtful agency for that pur-
pose in this state; and this act of
natural appreciation has happily re-
suited in the appointment of a man
who has held, and we doubt not still
holds, sound views on the tariff.

In AppIebIossom Time.

When you wake up in the morning
And the dew is on the grass,
The gentle breezes whisper.
OF promise as they pass;
When the air is full of fragrance,
And sweet like new made wine.
Then you may be sure and certain
It's AppleblosSom time.
And all the orchard trees
Stand like huge bouquets,
Waiting sweetness everywhere,
Alongs the roadside ways;
Then I'd like to sit beneath,
The blossom covered trees,
Hear the merry chirp of birds
And the humming of the bees.
The Bob O. link in the meadow
Sings the beauty of the day,
Life'S problems seem move clear,
Sordid cares all flee away;
OF all the changing seasons,
tbs the best time of the year
Somehow then it always seems,
Heaven must be lying somewhere
near;
Nature wears her sweetest smile,
All things seem falling into line,
And life is well worth living
In Appleblossom time.

The Supreme Court Decision As II
Affects Suffrage.

The decision rendered Tuesday by
the Supreme Court holding that Fed
eral constitutional amendments can
not be submitted to popular vote by
states having referendum machinery
provided by their constitutions, clears
away whatever vestige of doubt re-
NAMED in the minds of the friends Of
equal suffrage as to the validity of
the ratification of the Anthony
amendment in Ohio and some. dozen
other states.
The Anthony amendment was rati-
fed June 16, 1919. at special session
of the Ohio legislature. the vote being
27 to in the senate and 70 to in the
house. both of which were emphatic
majorities. Proceedings were brought,
nevertheless, asking for a referendum
on the amendment. The petition was
declared valid and was allowed by the
Ohio supreme court. This threw
open the ratification of the suffrage
amendment in all states which have
the referendum, unless the state su-
preme courts ruled otherwise or un-
less the United States Supreme Court
rendered a decision covering all cases.
The latter having sbeen done, all
question of the validity of ratification
in the several referendum states is
settled. Thirty-five states have duly
ratified the Anthony amendment and
it seems certain that the necessary
Seth will ratify before the November
elections.
AS to the situation in Maine there
is some confusion owing to the fact
that there are two separate and dis
tinct phases Of the suffrage question.
First of all. the Maine legislature in
special session ratified the Federal
suffrage amendment and from that
act there is no appeal. Whenever
three -fourths Of the states of the
union shall have ratified the amend
ment it will become operative
throughout the United States, regard
less Of favorable or unfavorable ac-
ton by individual states
The Maine legislature in 1919
passed a law granting to the women
of Maine the right to vote for presi-
Dental electors: This vote was chal-
lenged and a referendum asked upon
the measure. The petition was grant
ed and the popular vote is scheduled
to be taken September 10. -.
If the Federal suffrage amendment
Is not in operation at that time, and
if the Maine presidential suffrage law
is vetoed by the people, the women Of
Maine will not vote in the November
presidential election. If the Federal
amendment is in operation at that
time the women of Maine will be al
lowed to vote. no matter what the
outcome Of the referendum.

of the worst possible kind. Often for
hours after a meal sour taste would
come up into my mouth and the gas
that formed on my stomach caused
me great distress. l had the most
fearful sick headaches and was also
troubled with rheumatism so bad in
the right leg and hip that 1 couldn't

Tanlac was helping SO many people /

more and the rheumatism left me so
that l can sleep just as we'll lying on

stronger and better in every way and

Then my wife, who was in a very

equally satisfactory. She hadn't any
appetite before, but now she is hun

Of Russia's ruin. Can it be that the

still greater loss expressed in terms
