lohengrin.

Lohengrin, the knight of Swan, Is
the hero of medieval German 70
mances and Of one Of Wagner's mu.
sic dramas. In the drama the Prin'
cess Elsa of Brabant is falsely &C
cused of the murder of her brother,
by her guardian, Count Telramund
and his wife, Orstrund. In response
to her prayer, Lohengrin, who is a
knight Of the Holy Grail and son
Of Parsifal, comes in boat, drawn
by swan, to champion her cause. His
one stipulation is that Elsa shall not
ask his name. He fights and defeats
Telramund and marries Elsa. Her foes,
by trickery, induce her to break her
promise. Lohengrin reluctantly tells
his name and the swan appears to
carry him off. The swan, who is
Elsa's brother, changes to his original
form, and a dove descends and bears
Lohengrin away in the boat, Elsa
fainting as he disappears.

Bride Behind the Veil.

A quaint marriage custom Is in
vogue in the Andaman isles-the
penal settlement to which ''lifers"
from British India are sent. There
are $4,000 prisoners In the settlement,
and every Saturday morning all wom-
en- who wish to be married are heav-
lily yelled and paraded around a
square. Men prisoners, qualified by
good conduct for the privilege Of
marrying, stand outside this magic
circle. judging as best they can the
merits Of the candidates. When a
man makes selection, he Is at lib
erty to have the object Of his choice
picked out, and the veil removed. No
alternative to accepting the woman
then remains to- him. Women, on the
other hand, have the option of two
refusals. but the third occasion is
final, one way or the other.-Ex-

THE FEDERAL BUILDING BID

The action of the Cordova Chamber of Com merce in urging the speedy letting of the con- tract for the new Federal Building will com- mend itself to every citizen of the town. The fact that but one bidder submitted an estimate for the construction was due largely to the fact that announcement of the bids gave ln- sufficient time to local contractors to figure on the estimates Many of the specifications involved materials on which figures and prl- ces were not available without correspondence outside, which could not be heard from before tL1 period specified had expired. The bid sub- n:tted was one made by contractor who has lately been engaged in construction work Tn the Territory and therefore probably familiar with prices The Chamber of Commerce sug- gostion that this bid be accepted if within the estimates of the Supervising Architect is at least safe, and the Chambers stand that the advantage of early construction IS more important than any possible saving that might be made on a lower estimate, is entirely practical The need of the Government build ing, and the saving in time and money which would result from it's prompt construction will more than make up for any risk that might be taken in accepting the only estimate made.

sHOULDERING THE BURDEN

To those critics, domestic as we'll as for eign who persist in maintaining that the United States has not done and is not doing its full part in sustaining and stabilizing the finances of the world the facts brought for ward by the comptroller of the currency in an address to the Indiana Bankers association give most convincing reply. Mr. Crissinger, with the detailed figures before him, had no difficulty in showing that in the last eight years, or since August IA, 1914, America has contributed to the financing of the outside world no less gigantic a total than $22, ,751 ,- 100000. This sum, which takes account of the millions expended in charity pure and simple is made up of government loans and unpaid interest thereon, of commercial credits ex- tended abroad, of American securities re purchased, of dollar securities bought of for eign money securities sold in this country and of foreign currencies bought by America.
 No one who knows the facts can with jus tico impugn the conduct of America either during or since the war. On the contrary, as the comptroller puts it, if we ourselves fully appreciated our contribution, or if we were given fair credit for 1t by other peoples, eft would win us the bright guerdon of helpful ness, of willing cooperation and of splendid unselfishness.' .'
 More, indeed, may remain to be done but limiting consideration to the eight years now under review, no candid minded person, look ing at the record as it stands, can deny that America has fully done it's ashingto1 Post

STATE RAIDS ON FEDERAL FUNDS

It is undoubtedly true as remarked hy a well known Senator that almost every important measure pending before Congress calls for the appropriation of large sums of money from the United States treasury. But 1t would be wrong to saddle upon Congress alone re- accessibility for large appropriations. AL though Congress is vested with the power to make appropriations, no Congressman has a personal desire to make the total appropria- tons large. In practically every instance, the demand for an appropriation originates not with members of Congress but with the peo- ple out in the several states.
 The desire to shift the burden of taxation, the desire seemingly to get something for nothing causes individuals, organizations, communities and states to appeal to their Fed oral representatives for national appropria- tons for undertakings of more or less local interest The same sort of appeal that origin ates in one locality originates in hundred or q thousand others, and the communications from constituents which pour in upon mem hers of Congress induce them to support the appropriations which make up the burden of which taxpayers complain.
 In the ultimate anal ysis, responsibility for large appropriations rests not with Congress but with the citizenship of the country. It is useless to write to members of Congress in opposition to large appropriations in general but at the same time write to them in favor of particular appropriations. The two posi- tions are inconsistent and irreconcilable. Fed eral appropriations will become materially less or the increase will be checked only when in dvidual citizens in large numbers write to their Senators and Congressmen protesting against, instead of favoring, the specific schemes advanced upon the mistaken theory that the public can get something from the United States government without paying for it. Payment must be made in some form or other and Federal taxation is quite often the most expensive means of paying.

The remainder, twenty four billions, became a mortgage on the future of America. 1t must be paid by the men, women and children of this country. The five million Americans who wore the uniform during the war, giving free ly health and energy and even life itself, must now share with their countrymen the burden oF t?'is debt. They gave their time and their bodies; they must now give of their earnings and savings. Giving doubly, they have a double interest in knowing if any portion of the debt is dishonest.-Legion Weekly.

Things We Think

A beautiful thought: You cant do right unless you are right
 There is time and place for everything except grouchiness and grouch.
 Not "How much are you worth?" but "How much do you know?"
 Even though the world may "have it in for you, don't take it out your family.
 A hard-working poor man may not exactly envy his rich neighbours inherited wealth, but he knows darned well something is wrong with things the rich neigh bor wouldn't have it.
 You may be courageous enough not to what peo- pie say about you, but that won't keep them from ing it. r --'
