If the farmer kept accurate account of the
wages of himself and children at rates paid for such
laborers at the factories if he was allowed interest
on the money invested in his farm and farm imple-

Anent the Discussion of Free Speech

The Journal believes that free speech is as essen
tia now as it ever and that it ought to be pres
erved to other generations absolutely free. But we
also believe that he who wilfully calls another by
such terms as ''Traitor,' "Perjurer' and the like
ought to be brought before the bar of justice, and
that there should be convictions and punishments
for such offenses, Assault on ones character and
reputation should be as great crime as assault on
his person. The officer takes due notice of assault
and battery without being instructed to. do so by
the party assaulted. Shall we be less vigilant with
such sacred thing as ones character than we are
with his person?

British Airship Trial
Built More For Scouting Than
Speed

Barrow, England. August 16-j3rit- :
aims latest airship R-SO has just been
given trial for the purpose of trim
ming and manoeuvring rather than
speeding. Faster than R-34 by about
five miles an hour. the R-SO is about
100 feet shorter with gas capacity
of 1.25O000, cubic feet against the
R-34's 100000.
The airship has four motors giving
total horsepower OF 900; can average
ABOUT 30 miles an hour and cruised
under full power at SIS miles. She has
been built on improved designs which
make for strength, speed and durabil-
ity. She has a stream line hull and
can lift about 3S 1-2 tons gross.
The trial was carried out without a
hitch and the vessel was housed just
as easily as she was brought cut of
the huge shed.

Lusitania Belt Found
Travelled Five Years Before 1t
Reached Philadelphia

Philadelphia, August 16-Scientists
are greatly Interested in the probable
route followed by the Lusitania life
belt recently picked up i'm the Della
ware river off one of the city piers
i'm the center Of Philadelphia They
estimate it travelled from $4,000 to 15-
900 miles and required more than five
years to make the journey.
The Lusitania was tOrpedoed off the
Irish coast on May Z, 1915. Hydro
graphers figure that the belt went
through the Irish sea and around the
north of Scotland. down through the
North Sea and the English Channel:
down the coast of France and Spain
and Africa. There the current bore
it, across the Atlantic. Entering the
Gulf Stream, it was carried north. 1t
escaped from this current ano drifted
to the Delaware capes. Probably the
propeller of steamship caught it up
at the capes and brought it up the
Delaware. When found afioat it was
100 miles up the river from the capes.
The lifebelt was covered with barna-
cles. When these were scraped off the
name of the Lusitania was found cas-

said that the war had demonstrated
that never again could the United
States say that they were not con

circumstances it was most desirable
that representative men of business in
the two countries should meet to dis
cuss those things which were most lik
ely to lead to friction. Americans had
convinced Englishmen Of the necessity
of getting alongside Of them, and htlv-
ing done so they did not intend to lei
go but intended to know and under
