peace with Ladd he was given the
nomination for senator. leaving MIR.

Whatever the cause, the league
managers have declared against
Senator Gronna. Some very power

course. The senator has been a good
vote getter in the past. and has un-

a large following in the league.
Taking the situation altogether it
has the appearance Of a yielding to
counsels of desperation. Complete

thing for which Messrs Townley and

JOAN OF ARo-AND OTHERS.

1t is nearly five hundred years since
Joan of Arc, execrated by the govern
ment' which.she had saved, and de-
nounced by the church which she had
served, was burned at the stake. For
a long time her name a been a
household word throughout France
as 4 synonym for all that is noblest
in the character Of woman, and yester-
day the great Catholic church COM
thus. paying to her memory the high
est tribute which it can bestow. All
the world joins in the tribute paid to
this inspired peasant kirl, for. the
qualities which she demonstrated in
her remarkable caree are bounded

The story Of loan of Arc has often
been told. AS we glance back across
five centuries W. ideali1e her. Her
great achievement and her sublime
character are the things by which we
remember her. The little incidents of
her daily life have been forgotten.
Perhaps in this way we reach a more
nearly true estimate than if our judg-
ment e re>%obscured by a multitude of
details which, at close range, would
be given an importance that does not
belong>to them. 1t takes time to Gre
ate the proper perspective.
Have We any modern Joans of Arc?
We need not expect that acts so far
reaching in their consequences and SO
conspicuous In their character will be
frequent. The high spots in history
are touched only occasionally. Yet
the qualities which inspired the Lor-
raine peasant girl still exist, and they
continue to find expression, often in
~inconspicuous, but nevertheless In
useful and splendid ways.
4 recent number Of the New York
Outlook contains an article by Sher-
man ROGERS or the f%aithfulness, effi-

girl. Prompted by the sight of tel
ephone operators struggling to their
work in a binding blizzard which
kept most people within doors and
suspended street railway traffic in
New York, the writer obtained from
a clipping bureau a collection of news
paper clippings telling Of the work of
telephone girls in emergencies. 1t
would be hard to duplicate the record
which the series presented. A few
instances are given in the article, and
the gener public is familiar with
them, or ~witfr1others like them. Time
after time it is recorded that in the

and sent out warnings at the risk. and

CHARGES NOT SUSTAINED.

A bulletin issued by the United
States Grain Corporation summarizes
the results of the investigation of the
charges made against Max H. Houser
second vice president OF the Grain
corporation, of having made improper
use of his position for his own profit.
which charges were made, without in
dlctment. in a special report by the
grand jury At Spokane some months
ago. The .ehsrges were investigated
BY Lester ". Hunpries, United States
attorney at Portland, under ~instruc-
