times, late at night, a whole day
spent on the turbulent river, glid-

tanning the cheeks to rudy glow.
1t was indeed great day.
Elements were ideal, the river in
exact condition for a successful voy-
age such as we took, in fact 1t APP
peared that all things worked togeth-
er for the good and enjoyment os
the Two who so much appreciated
just such excursions. To those who
were brought up in an outdoor, &C
tive life, there are no dull laps on
journey such as was this, there is
the boat ever to be watched as it
skins through the mad current; the
birds as they fit from twig to twig;
the squirrel as it scurries for its den
in the tree, surprised and awed bv
the strange noisy creature gliding
over the waters near it's secluded
home; then too, the swift-winged
mallard and the smaller of the duck
family found here in numbers only
at this season of the year, were ever
and anon arising from the watery
feeding grounds, a sight always to
thrill the lover and devotee of wood
craft and stream.
Doc played Engineer in chief while
the writer was pilot in charge, and
when we were not required to have
our eyes and minds upon the craft
we were busy viewing the surround
ing Landscape excellently afforded
from the crest of the unusually high
river.
At about / O'Clock we fell upon.the
basket and bags and devoured enough
grub" to feed family of six, ap-
peasing appetites stimulated as only
such excursions bring on.
Narrows, about AZ miles distant,
by water, marked the extreme bound
airy of our pilgrimage. Here, at 1885
we slowed up and turned the PROV
of the little Wawa toward the setting
sun and home, securing the trusty
watercraft in her accustomed moor
ings at $3.50. We disembarked VITA
bodies somewhat tired and joints a
bit stiff, though with minds wholly
rested and at ease from all of the
many vexatious cares met in the
different offices we returned 10 on
Monday morning, the better enabled
to meet and discharge our duties by
reason of the relaxation and change
in mind food as it were, from sea-
son of dry shucks and hay in a musty
inclosure, to day on luscious clover
partaken of in pure ozone and Gods
bright sunshine, surrounded and in
cased only by the azure blue sky

Editor Hartford Republican,
Dear Sir:--Will you kindly grant
me space in your valuable paper to
state to the Miners just what l think
of Ed Morrow. When the Campaign
was on, the Mining Camps were
flooded with posters etc, stating that
he was an enemy of organized labor
but was at Frankfort during the
late session of the Legislature, and
found him, in all clses. on the side
of the worker. Therefore. l feel 1t
my duty to tell the Miners, whom /
had the honor to represent, that !
believe Kentucky has Governor
who is a friend to the great common
people.
Respectfully,

Loans onLiberfy Bonds
Government Should Make
Them to Original Holders

10 the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: We advocate legislation a..
fective for the relief of those original
purchasers of Liberty bonds who are
forced by circumstances to dispose of
them. Such legislation would lie both
matter of justice and a provision for
our credit in future emergencies.
During the loan drives it was a com
mon occurrence for speaker to hold
up to view a fifty-dolar bond and ~
hity-doi'ar bill and to say: Both of
these pieces Of paper have all the
credit of Uncle Sam back of them
They have the same face value. Tic
only difference is that if you keep the
flfty-dollar bill you draw no interest"
Millions of dollars worth Of tonds
were sold on this argument
Men of experience in financial ma
ters foresaw that these bonds won
depreclate in market value. Theg con
tended at the time that the govern.
ment should not attempt TO sell the,,
at par, but should offer them IN comm.
ltion. Their sound advice was disr,.
garded. The bonds were sold at mar
ana, thanks to patriotism and sk;llful
campaigning, each loan was oversub
scribed
Hundreds of millions Of these bona-
were bought by people who had never
seen bond before; by people who had
no bank accounts; by the very peopie
who most easily become the dupes of
loan sharks and spectators. And
'hese people were induced to buy ~
arguments that were not the whole
truth. Now that many Of them ave
compelled TO part with their bond.
they learn the difference between GU
rency and securities, and when they
accept $50 for that which cost then
500 there is doubtless in their mind
feeling of discomfort and the sus.
picion that Uncle Sam has not played
fair
For the sake of justice 20 these
original purchasers and with an eye to
the successful placing Of future issues.
Congress should set aside fund from
which loans could be made to those
who can prove that they are Original
holders, in amoud1s UP to 90 per cent
of the face value Of their bonds, and
at rate not in excess of that which
the bonds bear. A bill to this etfect
has been introduced in Congress. l;
should be enacted into law.

Not the American Wav.

Under the Italian Constitutio,
members of the Senate are chose,
by the King from among higl
offlclals or those famous in science
literature cor any other pursui
tending to the benefit of tn,
nation" So Puccini and Mascagn
are Senators. But they might hav.
won place in that body had ar
election been held by the people
IN Italy and in Continental Europt
generally those beloved of the
muses. more often play a part ir
political life than they plav ir
America. Dante was an early ex.
ample of man of genius who
mingled in public affair5. Guizot
and Theirs were statesmen no less
than historians. Nor in ENGLAND
has the combination been unusual
Dlsraeli, the novelist, who became
Prime Minister, is perhaps the
most striking example. Thackerav
ana 1rollope both stood unsuccess-
fully for the House of Commons.
But can any one imagine Mr.
chadwick or Mr.. Hadley or Dr.
Damrosch in the United States
Senate? There have been members
of that body more or less distin-
gulshed in letters; Mr.. Lodge is the
most eminent representative of
literature there at present. But if is
safe to say that his books would
never have elected him. Politically
speaking, literature. is his side line.
lhe same thing might have been said
OF ROOSEVELT; his writings helped to
make him better known to his
countrymen, and perhaps had their
erect upon his later popularity:
but he climbed the political ladder
without their aid. Mr.. Wilson is p
better example Of an American who
came into politics with onlv his
literary and academic reputation to
back him. The result is hardly such
rs to encourage conscription of
those id literary fcllers," as
Simon Cameron called them on y
memorable. occasion.
Still, If members of the American
Senate were appointed by the Prcsi
1ent, as members OF the Italian
senate are appointed by the King,

diplomatic service have often been
rewards for pursuits tending to the
benefit of the nation" Literature,
rather than other arts, has garnered
most of these. We need not go so
far back as Motley, or even Lowell,
to find modern instances. Mr..
Wilson has leaned heavily upon the
profession of letters for diplomatic
support. And we have had ex-
amples Of novelists who succeeded
in local politics, as Mr.. Whitlock
did when he was elected Mayor of
Toledo. But Fame's eternal bede-

the greater part only a slight &C

The Mexican Caldron

The Sonora revolutonists have
captured Culiacan, the capital of
Sinaloa, the Gulf of California state
adjoining Sonora on the south. Civil
war has therefore spread rapidly.
General Obregon is reported to have
tied to Cuernavaca, in the State of
Morelos, south of Mexico City, and
to be conducting an insurrection
there. Villa has asked permission
OF the Sonora government to regu-
larize his bandit activities in west
ern Chihuahua by enlisting in it's
service.
Carranza thus faces the hostility
of the chief elements which contrib
uted to the success of his revolt
against Huerta. Sonora was his
first base. Villa conquered Chihua-
hua for him and then followed the
road south to Mexico City through
Torreon and Zacatecas. After the
break with Villa and the flight to
Vera Cruz, Obregon restored Car
ranza's power by defeating the
Chihuahua brigand. Now Villa and
Obregon are both against Carranza.
The North sides with them, and the
fighting section of Mexico is the
North.
The test of the Carranza regime
was bound to come when the die
tator's constitutional term as Presi-
dent ran out. Diaz once laid down
his office and admitted a successor
to the capital. But when he re-
turned to the Presidency he ruled
for a generation, yielding only to
the Madero revolution. Nobody in
Mexico believes in the fiction of
free and open Presidential election.
The battle at the polls in July would
have been only prelude to clash
of arms. Now the polling has be-
come a superhuous flourish. The
next ruler of Mexico will probably
pass, as Carranza did, through
dictatorship into the Presidency.
Mexico, with its new and ad-
vanced state socialist constitution, is
just as much the home of revolution
ary individualism as it ever was.
The sword is mightier than the bal
lot. But the average Mexican sees
abnormal in 'that. 1t is in
his blood. He easily accommodates
to anarchy. Civil strife ac-
centuates his patriotism. Mexico
may go through another period of
disorder But the heart of the ma
lion will continue to beat. Even
he Sonorans now declare that they
do not aim at secession OF. independ-
ence. Their war is against Car
rama, not against the federated
state. They only want to keep the
