The soldiers re- viewed everything that was done in the civil councils. They could cali meetings, and approved or disapproved what was done.
 Every man who entered the army of the Six Nations did so of his own choice. but 1t was the custom of every able-bodied man to do military duty. and to shinik 1t was an everlasting disgrace.
 In many things these saFaees were ahead of the civilized races of Europe that so suddenly broke in upon them in the middle of the seventeenth cen tury. They never made slaves of their fellowmen, not even of captfves taken in war They would not let members of the same tribe marry each other, and took many other measures to preserve and increase the strength of fneir race. Thes- enlarged their terri tory by war and by annexating new tribes; and by the time they were dis covered by the white men they had extended their eonquests from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. They were justly dreaded for foes by all the tribes of the continent.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Aleehelle Dripks.

Nr. Editor: In answer to Allen B. LiAeoln> qf Hartford on Alcoholic Drinks, ve would say Abraham Lincoln said a republic Is by the people, for the Reo- pie, and with the people. We ask did the people voice prohibition, as a body7 No. At the time we were involved in var of course Mir. Wilson saw the need of corn to sustain our armies in Europe. So pFenerly the passage of the Volstead act took place. While in Europe Mir. Wilson requested congress to modify that law, which congress did, not do. Every one knows that the dry party has not majority voice in this repub- lie.
 I would ask Mir. Lineoln, is 2, country of freedom and liberty, free, when the people shall not have a voice over their own affairs? PlesNe do not misconstrus my meaning. A poor drunken abusive man, is about as disagrseable 9 fellow ss hests, but drink properly used is all right for old or young. hut remember. say DroperlY used. From 1881 to 1865 in Civil var times, liquor was rationed cut te soldiers, good thing for chills. Again Ve read in Sacred Writ that Jesus turned water into Wins at the feast of Gallilea. Let the people decide the question at the ballot box. then all will De satisfied.
 Fhs drYs claim the stopping of alco- helic drink is promoter of health. We know the drunkards are substituting lemon, ginger, wood alcohol, etc. Now, MT. Ancoln, which Is the most detrimen- tai ta 11apkind?

LAX ENFoRcEMBNT. ;,,

When Prohibition Commissioner Kra- Esr tells Senator Copper that prohibition is not what 1t should be he of course admits enly what has long been recos nized en sll sides. He attributes it to the fact that public sentiment is strong ly against it in the large eeRters Public ssntiment it is to be realized is an im- pertant factor in securing endorsement of any law but it is not the eniy thing That is Heeessary and it cannot be relied lpon to ae the entire job.
 In admitting that prohibition is not what 1t eukht ts be the eomInissisner de- elares that he wants strict enforcement. That is te be expected in view of the positien that As helas and 1t is te he ex- 'eeted in view ef the law.

PENALTY FOR AUTO srEAL1Nc.

During the wave of crime that has been sweeping over the country thero have been judges who have expressed their sincere regret that there was get law under which they could deal out ageeuate punishment to those engaged in highway and other robberies. It was evident that the penalties were not accomplishing the full object sought The prospects of large hauls and the possibility of getting axsy were 50 fsxasahle that they were willing to take the chance of the nsnalty for such 2 crime. It didn't in fact act as the deterrent that was desired and taaess ree- ognized that the imposition of the pre- scribed penalties was in many instances not much more than a joke.
 Along with ether crimes that have xaz dergsne raRid dsyalepmeEt has heen that of autemshile stealing. FAe nFaesiee has grown by ieans and bounds. It has be come aA organised Aqsiress with nleAtT of domestic and foreign demands for the stolen property. although of course the fact that the goods are stolen is not dis closed to the buyers.
 Those engaged ip the business have found that getting away with such prop. ety is not so difficult, and enee they make get away there are ways of disEuisinr a car which make it difficult to recognize 1t as the former machine. So many ma. chimes have been stolen and such Iarse losses sustained that the need has lans existed for placing every possibla aise1ur, agement in the way of such cr;nA. ana for that reasen favorable heport has been made to the state senate en the hii which would mean a septesee of IS year. possible for such an offense.

 l am convinced that. if children were giye1I material with which they could maN forms as they really see them. they would never be tempted 10 draw in outlines. The best and most re- sponsive mediums for the smallest chi- dren are clay and sand. With these they can learn to make objects as they actually exist. with three dimensions. They can quickly and easily express their ideas and carry out in a realistic way the pictures of their imagination.
 When they are old enough 10 under stand that picture is merely the flat representation of the solid forms, they should be given soft materials that will make surfaces Nor 7nabses quickly. such as chalk Cnot crayoiaJ, charcoal, and water color paints.

rhE BRITISH COAL STRIKE.

In certain respects the situation sur pounding the British coal strike is sini- lar to that of the railroads in this ceun- try In both instances the situation has developed as the result of relinquishing geFeFRment control whexe it was pos- aihle to dip into the government treasury when necessary to meet requirements, or adverse conditions arose. and the oyn- sts aFs sAasaFeFiRE ts acesmnlish ths re- adigstnaents which conditions require.
 The mines under government operation did not ReF. That means that govern msRt funds had to be used to make un the difference. With the return of the mines te the owners the maintenance of the same conditions aE under government control caused losses which could not be overcome. FAere vas ne government funds te fall back upen and because pro- luetieR in continental HuFeps has been steadily increasing British product has been in less demand. It apnears to be case where present conditions call for Fkduetie4 of expenditures in order to eliminate the heavy monthly deficits. but there is opposition to any reduetiena. There is an unwillingness to accept any cuA anN dA AHSAn3tieH lV nSVe tAb #pF- ernHent eitheF subsidize the coal miners or take over the mines.

eAREFuL EEEplNe.

There are methers who contend that they are strengthening their children, hardening them, or something of that sort, when they allow them to psrtake of the complicated diet to which adults are aeeastemfd. It is all very well, en 2 simple diet of bread and milk. plain heiled vegetables, custard, jun ket, well cooked eereals and such things if you intend te have them eat snly such things all their lives. But if you want them to become used te complicated grown-up cooking, SC that when they go away frsrn home they can eat anything that is set be- fore them, then you must Net them adapt themselves ta the more com plicated diet at home.
 Now this is really quite absurd. The fact is that children who have been ksRt en 3 simple diet are all the bet ter able to stand an occasional break ing away from simple fare. FheH thsFe is aAother argument. If children san eat cakes and pies, pork and veal raw eueumheFs, watermelon and such things without showing any bad effects then 1t follaWs that these things agree with then. But they forget that bad effects from wF9Ag diet do not always
 manifest themselves at once, nor dc tAey always manifest themselves ir actual digestive disturbances. Some. times a tendency te colds, an irritable disposition, may he due entirely tc wrong diet in children whe seem tC have perfect aigestiens.
 Of course 1t is seReWhat easier fo, the mstheF if children eat just wha aHd when adults de. But rather thar permit the children te eat things that are net really suited to them, it wolIlt ee better to make the adults do tn, adaptins.

TEST YOUR SILK

Burning sample of silk is an easy way to test for weighting. Pure silk burns readily, gives off an odot like burning hair CT feathers and leaves a ball of ash. If weighted only the silk fibers burn and the mineral salts are left sometimes in the very shape of the sample. Whenever possible silks for hard usage, as in the coat Innings or petticoats, should be tested in this way. Silks are also sometimes adul- terated with cotton and for some pur- poses such mixture is excellent. Cot ten. however, does net hold dyes so well as silk, and such fairies some tiRes soil and wrinkle more easily than pure silk

 College, Chicago.
 Walter Scott Perry. director of the school of Fine and Applied Arts, Pratt Institute, Brooklyn. N. r., says Drawing is the only universal Ian- guage used by men of all ages and of all nationalities."
 If teachers and parents realized that this definition of drawing is literally true, more time and attention would be given to the subject at schools and at home. It would net be considered a "frill" nor an "extra" but would be elasssa as an essential along with reading, writing and arithmetic
 An children, especially the Eery little folks. who have not mastered the spoken language well enough 10 express themselves clearly, naeiraasy enjoy making pictures to show What they have fin mind. They should be given every opportunity to do this The difficulty in most homes, the rich as well as the poor. Is that no attsn- ten is paid to this paR of the ehii- arsn's development, and ao suitable material is given them.
 Usually the only medium they find With which to make pictures is a lead pencil. They use 1t eagerly and with enthusiasm. partly because of their natural desire to draw and partly be- cause they see the older members of the family using 1t 10 write with. IThe pencil Is to make lines. Conseaueptly they form the habit of making crude drawings in outline which do not in the least resemble the objects they see around them. nor the mental nietuft they have formed of them. By fht time they are old enough to 70 to Kindergarten or E.sst Ora 5ia Ina hat. it of drawing in line and of istthE the line stand for the thing they wsr,id like to express In q better way of they could, has become 70 fixed that lt hal
