in France by drastic legisla-
ton enacted in 1898. The law was
repealed by Napoleon in 1912, and
even though the metric system had
been in force for 10 years the people
soon resumed the use of their old sys-
tenn Of measures. In 1887 the metric

sion of the decimal division of the

indicate that after much delay con-
stEress is preparing to take some ac-
ti9h on a bill for additional compen-
sation for the soldiers, Aailors, and
marines who served during the re-
cent war. A majority OF the solons
are said to favor a bill providing for
compensation on a straight cash ba-
sis, allowing each man not more than
$40 for each month that he was in
the service.
Such a BILL while a step in the
right direction, will undoubtedly be

basis which is advocated by the

providing for a moro liberal cash
payment for such as may desire it,
also provides alternatives along the
lines of farm or home>purchase and

probably appeal strongly to a large

Gently been very active, and it is ex-

BATTLES.


we are still too close to the great
world war to arrive at any unbiased
verdict en- the merits of the general
ship displayed on cither side. during
the /. conflict. One point, however,
may be pointed out <cven now, that
History has repeated itself in DEMON
strating that the. most brilliant mill
tary talents which through u long
series of victories may give a gen.
eral the reputation OF being invinci-
bic, must in the end yield to 'dosged
courage and determination.
OF the men to whom history has
awarded the highest palm for gem
cralship only Alexander of Macedon,
and Julius Caesar were victorious to
the end Of their careers, and in their
cases it. must be borne in mind that
both were opposed throughout by
roops markedly inferior to their
own and that Alexander at least
was cut off by death in the midst>'o of
his career of victory. Tine success
full operations of Oliver Cromwell,
and Gonsalve de LCordova were cur
ried out On too small "a scale TO en-
well served in a subordinate position
until near the close of his military
activity.
On the other hand the Carthagin-
ian Hannibal, regarded by many as
the greatest general IF all times, was
- hNl o{ Oa,~a ~, C~;~- R.s
canLs, Napoleon lost his empire with
his defeat at Waterloo by yelling
tod. and Charles XII of Sweden was
annihilated at Pultava by Peter the
Great of Russia. These are among
the most striking examples and 9TH
ers are almost equally forcible. Lee
was finally beaten by the doeged
perseverance of Grant; Turenne was
outmanoeuvered BY Montecuculi, and
Marshall V1llers stalemzted Marl-
borough, and finally defeated Eugene
Of savoy.
The Duke of Alva and other Span
ish generals won victory after victory
over William the Silent, but could
not prevent the ultimate victory OF
his cause, and a descendant of the
latter, William III -of England, while
always defeated in the field by Lux
Eemburg. and the other brilliant COM
manders of Louis ", was prevented
only by death from seeing the tri-
Humph of thefcause to which he had
devoted his life.
So when Pershing, Foch n Haig
finally triumphed owe Ludendorf,
and Hindenburg, they were only re-
demonstrating a truth which is as
cid as military history.

THE CANDIDATE AND THE
81, PUBLIC.

Every man of standing sufficient
to warrant his being considered seri.
ously for such an important office as
that of governor of the state has
many personal friends and many who
have confidence in his character and
his ability. The desire to hold an i'm
portant political office is an honorable
ambition, and the friends OF the can
didatc may with entire propriety en-
terrain for him such an ambition. His
selection will be a matter OF gratii-
cation to them. and a confirmation
of their own judgment.
There is more at stake in this cam
paign, however, than the personal
fortunes of candidates. The govern
ment OF a.great state is involved.
Upon the selections made now may
depend the entire course of fhe state
for many years. Hence neither the
candidate nor his friends can properly
urge his selection on, personal grounds
and it will be exceedingly unfortunate
il personal ambition or the admira-
ton OF citizens for a particular candi-
late shall operate~-to render difficult
the selection Of the man who can
most successfully lead this fight
against the forces Of. radicalism.
We take it that M Of the mon who
have been seriously mentioned aa pos
sible candidates on the good govern
ment ticket at the coming primary is
DESTROYS, first and foremost, Of seeing
the cause of good government
triumph n is perfectly willing to
subordinate whatever personal ambi-
tions he may have to- that end. 1t
may be well to shgsest> that the whole
situation can be materially simpnhed
II . similar spirit prevails among the
citizens generally. That individuals
haVe their preferences among eandi-
dates goes without saying. Those
preferences are entitled to consider
alton. But those preferences must not
be emphasized in such a manner as to
obscure the real issue and to render
it o difficult for the entire body of
voters to enter with enthusiasm into
the support of the candidate who, in
the light of all the facts, is considered
the most available man.
The way to select the Independent
candidate for governor is-so provide
as will be done-3r a thoroughly
representative gathering of Republi-
ans, to obtain at that meeting a full
expression Of the sentiments Of the
people Of the various sections of the
state, and then, in the light of all the
information obtained to decide on ths
one man who will most satisfactorily
comply with all tpe conditions neces-
sary.,, ~, T. g.

THE SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS.

ELM- a.t.- r-
New York Times: IN curr1nt dis
tussisons concerning the waning sup
ply of school teachers it seems al,
ways to be assumed that the n
thing needful to supply the demand
is the payment Of larger salaries. TO
do that will help, unquestionably,
both to keep the present teachers in
their places and to attract others. 1t
iss at>leastN possible, however, that
the schools are having difficulty. in
keeping and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS stat
OF teachers, not wholly because sal
aries ip many cases are too small
to deserve the nane!,o 81, a living wage,
but in3parts because the field of wom-
ans permitted and commended work
is far wider than,it used to be and
is STEADILY extending.
In other days no small number Of
women took to teaching, o because
they had a PARTICULAR liking for it,
or because they found It better than
dreary drudgery, but because it was
one Of the very few paid occupations
into which women not technically of
the working class" could , enter
without loss of social standing and.
therefore,, of self-respect., Those
times are past. No woman need
teach, now. unless she wants to do
so. Rulers of schools, therefore. and
boards of education, if they4 are, wise,
will think first. perhaps, Of better SAL
aries for teachers, but they will think.
OF other things as 'well-thihEs by
which the teachers work can be
