into seclusion or seek seclusion of their own volition, Is a change un- fortunate for that country or organi- zaton, In the present instance such is not the case, Constantine was doomed 10 failure from the beginning He held to the national ideals of Greece only because they were the national ideals and he could not de- part from them. But where he could he abandoned policies based on sound diplomacy in favor of personal con yictions. The man, not Greece, was to blame.
 It Is possible that Constantine's re- moval may bring greater moral sup port from the allies. But at this time there would be more strength in bringing about a reunited army and navy reorganzed into formidable force. This, backed by a disposition on the part of the allies to help her, will be Greece's salvation If she is to be saved.

THREE-MILE LIMIT.

When the British ship Grace and Ruby was searched recently by pro- hibition enforcement agents of this country, while that ship was beyond the three mile limit over which our Jurisdiction on the sea is supposed to extend, an old philosopher was heard to say, speaking of said prohibition people, Give em an inch an they'll take a mile, or, to paraphrase the saying, Give 'em three miles an they'll take the whole ocean
 Of course the old philosopher did the enforcement agents an injustice and did an injustice to those who thoroughly approved the action-the ardent dry people. Moreover were they to want 'the whole ocean" It, erally, the "wets" would let them have 1t. They don't want 1.-the eager "wets"-there is too much water in the ocean.
 But there was some truth in what the old philosopher said. When the court sustained as proper the search.

POLICE RADIO.

A man leaves his automobile in the street while he attends to some busi- ness inside building in New York Upon returning to the place where he left his car he finds that it has been taken away. He steps into a store and telephones to police headquarters. Immediately police headquarters broadoasts the news to every station house in the city. Almost before the owner of the stolen automobile leaves the place from which he has tele- phoned thousands of officers of the law, spread all over the city, are watching for that stolen automobile
 These are the probabilities now resulting from the installation of a great radio broadcasting station at police headquarters in New York. and the placing of receiving sets in all the stations all over the city. In time there will be such network of lines of communication between police headquarters everywhere to cover the whole country. And the time is not far distant. When such time comes the criminal will have reason to remark fervently, 'The way of the transgressor is hard"

LONG SKIRT FAILURE.

There is a real significance in the refusal of women of the South to embrace the returning long skirt and cry, At last you have come back into style" Such is the case according to the vice president of the Southern Wholesale Dry Goods association. He says the Southern women are conserv- ative-which is certainly true-and that 1t took them a long time to get used to the idea of bobbed hair and short skirts, but now that they are converted to them they do not want to change The statement may be believed because it is against the interest of the person making it.. Undoubtedly the officer of the dry goods wholesalers association would like to see changes follow each other rapidly With refreshing frankness he asks the question: Where would the dry goods merchants be if the styles remained static? It's up to us (wholesalers) to do a little missionary work"
 If the conservative Southern women refuse to discard the sensible shorter skirt, welded to conservatism as they are, certainly the women of the
 
 North who delight in the greater freedom of the shorter garment and who were not as slow as were the women of the South to adopt it may feel that there is no hurry about going back to the darker years when the length of the skirt of women made little difference because women did not try and were not expected to be as active in all affairs of life requiring physical energy as they are today. Common sense is having it's day and even the most conservative men and women no longer see in it something to blush at rather than approve.

TRACES ARE FOUND
 0F ANCIENT TOWN
Isle Royale Inhabitants Were
 Pit.DWellers, Is Disclosed

Port Arthur, Ont, Sept. 2S.-Wil- liam P. Ferguson of Franklin, Pa, who few days announced in brief telegram his finding of the remains of a village that existed two or three thousand years ago, on Isle Royale, 45 miles from here, is in Port Arthur today on his way home after his sum- mer's work and gives some further particulars of his discoveries.
 Mir. Ferguson in business life is pro- prietor and publisher of The News Herald at Franklin. but it is as a devotee of archaeology and ethnology that he has spent many months on Isle Royale following up certain in dications and information long in his possession.
 We found an area covering at least half mile in width and two miles long, over the whole Of which were remains of human habitation, i" said Mir, Ferguson. These were largely pits which had been dug for homes. They ranged from eight to ten feet deep and were protected by carefully built stone walls which kept them from water. Apparently they had been covered by wooden roofs. Some of them were 20 by 40 feet in diameter evidently being com munal dwellings. We found one structure 1b0 by 1S0 feet that had evidently been fort.
 The pits had all been orientated the sides running squarely east and west and north and south, the long

THE JEALOUs PEOPLE.

Coming at this time, when a judge of Federal Court has just granted an injunction which is aimed to pre- vent interference with transportation primarily, and violence generally, in connection with strikes, it is well to
 note the action of the people of Swift
 zerland as an example of the jealous
 guarding of their rights by the people themselves.
 In that country both branches of ! parliament passed a law aimed not only to repress acts against the pub
 lie safety, but, as the news dispatch has it movements considered likely
 to disrupt public order, such as gen
 eral strikes of political character" While strikes of a political char acter" must refer to strikes in oppo- sition to purposes of the government. rather than to industrial strikes, new ertheless the people would have the same opinion concerning an attempt to maNe them illegal as the people would hold regarding attempts to prevent industrial strikes.
 And the people of Switzerland, by referendum vote, reversed the deci- sion of the branches of parliament.
 By a close vote they refused to sane
 ton the law which would, according
 to their viewpoint hamper their free
 dom.
 In this country a similar referen-
 dunn would refuse to give to a court
 the right to become judge of facts warranting 1t in taking away consti-
 tutional rights of the people in any
 but the greatest emergency. In the case just decided by Judge Wilkerson the record may show a conspiracy to restrain trade and knowledge on the part of the defendants of acts of vio- lence in furtherance of that conspir- acy The facts have not been brought out as they would be in a trial In any event. whether the court was justified in granting that injunction or not, it is certain that the people jealous of their constitutional rights would not approve a law making it possible at any time for a sheriff, for instance, to declare of his own initia- tive that men should be prevented from doing things lawful in them selves because, in his opinion, the end they sought was unlawful. Were the dicta of the opinion in the present injunction case to be taken as a precedent to govern the power of the authorities, tremendous power would be given such authorities-more than the people would approve.

sides being straight north and south, indicating that the people who built them perceived the relation of the stars and the sun to direction. These people mined in solid rock, the whole island over, but did not dig their shafts more than 20 or 30 feet deep.
 Their tools were black egg-shaped stones of great hardness, which are found on the shores of Black Bay on the north shore of Lake Superior, but on Isle Royale we found several of these of markings which would indi- cate the fitting of wooden handles. Their method of mining was to build fires on the rocks and then throw on cold water, which would cause them to break, afterward further crushing them with the stone hammers. They could use only the fragments of cop- per and not the larger masses, which have been found weighing up to 5000 pounds"

that the ship was practically within the three mile limit because of its connection with the shore through US own boats, there was at least doubt in some minds as to the wisdom Of extending at all the territory over which this country had control in enforcing the drastic law that is now on our statute books There was n universal sense of relief experienced by thinking people, regardless Of their stand on the question of the wisdom of the Nolstead law, when the
 later decision was made to limit dry enforcement to the three mile limit, No matter what are the evils Of liquor of which we in this country are de- prived, those evils cannot be such as to allow us 10 break into the law of freedom of the seas for which we have fought. As charity begins at home so we have quite enough to do to enforce the law on territory over which our Jurisdiction is unquestioned without seeking to trespass beyond our boundaries. To this end there should be strict interpretation of the exception which permits search of vessels beyond the three-mile limit but said to be connected with the shore by the passage of such vessels boats between it and the land.

Constantine has left the throne of Greece for the second time forced from it by his failures and the defec- tion of portions of the army and navy, officered by many of the for mer kings favorites whom he placed in important posts because of their fancied loyalty to hin. Greece can not lose by the departure, probably for good and all, of Constantine.
