LINES LOVINGLY DEDICATED TO
THE MEMORY OF MRS.
AUGUSTA ADAMS.

Time and again during the past
week have | tried to write few
lines to the memory Of our dear good
cousin, but each time binding tears
would fill my eyes and the pen would
have to be laid aside. 1t is natural
for us to magnify the virtues of our
loved ones, but after all We know
them better than anyone else. Then
why should we not with proprlety
speak of these things? And who
more fully than | is capable OF
sounding her praise; who have spent
so many happy hours in the bosom
of her home, around her hearth stone
as one of them; l who loved her with
a love akin to filial affection, and VINO
in her departure am sore1y bereaved?
| was not there to lay as token OF
my love a spray Of flowers on 'her
grave or to shed one tear above her
fower-strewn mound, but II 1t were
in nv power l would wreathe gar
land of words, so fair and fragrant
and place them to her memory, tnat
STRANGERS, as we'll as friends, would
read and understand the real beauty
of her great and noble nature: one
was 2 member of the Methodist
church: it was the church of her par
ents, the church where she had been
trained from early childhood ana
where was laid that solid, symmetrlcal
character for which she was so noted.
And TO her church and all its lnstltu-
tions. her purse strings were always
united. Domestic happiness has new
er been better illustrated than IN her
life. a life that closed so quietly, so
pea cefully that We scarcely kne"
when she breathed her last. On''
what a sundering Of strong, warm
friendship, what rending of sweet
household ties. A son whose Wnole
life Law in hers, three daughters Tor
whom her devotion forms one OF the
loveliest and purest pictures OF the
mast low they will miss ner
sweet presence, her wise and loving
council. ,. 80
"But we will cling to the links OF
broken chain,
With the tenderness of love;
And patiently wait as the bright days
wane,
That at last we can gather them up
again,
In The fields that bloom above.

ENGLAND NOT IN CONTROL

The Senate of the United States
which has labored under a hallucina-
ton as to the league of nations, has
had that hallucination sadly ruptured
by the attitude OF the British domin-
ions at the Geneva session which has
just adjourned. Instead of England's
controlling six votes in the assembly,
as we were told by republicans who
echoed Sim Fein. 1t finds itself at
Issue with most OF Its dependencies on
all important questions.
The dominions disagree with the
mother country not only. but one an
other. England wants the council to
be supreme. Canada, South Africa
and India claim equal rights for the
assembly. Canada is supporting the
compulsory adjudication OF interna-
tional disputes, as urged by Elihu
Root. which England opposes. On
the questions OF admitting Germany
to the league and disarmament. as
10 which England has expressed no
final opinion, the dominions are
sharply in conflict.
All this bears out the opinion often
expressed in these columns and else
where during the long controversy
over the treaty. The various states
comprising the British empire do not
regard their f-govern.ng rights as
empty formulas. They are attached
to the crown chiefly by sentiment,
which may easily give way to more
powerful interests nearer home. In
fact, econon lc considerations, every
where paramount already. govern
them as they do other peoples.
That local and political predilec-
tions also operate with them Is shown
by the Canadian commissioners start

cy. No representative OF the United
States could have put that accusation
in palmer words than those used by

fact by no means phenomenal. IT
was several hundred thousand more
than it was in 1916, but it went over
the previous high water mark Of
1912 by only about $4,000.
New York is the socialist banner
state, wBh 2o412O votes, more than
two any a half times the vote OF
Wisconsin, the next in tho column,
with SO.635. Now York might have
led without the special circumstances
in that state contributing to the so
ciali5t strength-mainly tho cxpul-
sion Of the socialist members Of the
state assrmbly--for New York has
generally led. only three times has
it been surpassed in the vote given to
the socialist candidate i'm 1904 by
Illinois, in 1912 By Illinois. California
and ohio. and in 1916 again by Hi
nois.
The vote for Debs on November 2
was $50, 900. II had been generally
expected that the socialists would
show a great gain and that their to-
tai might run as high as 2,000.00O or
oven beyond that. They did not poll
as many votes in Ohio, Illinois and
California as they did eight years
ago. In somc states heretofore Of
no prominence whatever in the So
cialist vote they showed considerable
gains. but the figures by themselves
from the country as a whole. and
cons , ring the swelling OF the rener-
al total by the participation OF wom-
en-. would indicate a positive loss Of
strength.
However, the election tables 10 not
impair the election judgm ont re-
gardng the prevalence OF socialist
sentiment. The event simply showed
that Hundreds Of thousands OF social
lists, though Harding had personally
never given any encouragement to
socialist principles, thought it exped-
iont to vote for him. 1t revealed the
remarkable cohesiveness of several
groups Of usually discordant malcOn-
tents, IN a desperate determination to
discrcait. repudiate and reproach
Wilson. his party and his administra-
ton. There was great deal of
strange company united from various
motives in this undertaking. It was
not because the socialists, the l. w.
/ VS. and other radicals who voted
for Harding loved him, but they hated
Wilson. and were resolved to waste
no votes on a third party.
