Twisting the Lions Tail.
(Cincinnati Enuuirer.) ]

It is an amusement of certain Americans to twist the tail of the British lion Much of it was in dulged in by minority element in Congress during the debate the debt adjustment bill. The export
 trade is not without it's tail-twistng pastime, also. Fortunately it is pretty well understood abroad to be fad of very small minority here. It really does not hurt the lion and it is given much serious consideration in the actual diplomacy of the two countries.
 of the inconsistency and injustice of this bait
 ing of the lion. Take tho debt matter for instance. The adjustment is open to harsh criticism of what England did in the negotiations. It is recognized by leading fnanciers, economists and real statesmen
 that no fairer adjustment could have been made, and that the whole conduct of the British representa- lives open, fair and reasonable. In view of the return of that country to her financial status with the pound within few points of its gold ratio, it is not unreasonable to believe that within few years she will be able to borrow less than the lowest rate to be charged for portion of the loan, and refund the whole debt at home.
 AS to the alleged British rubber monopoly which is said to be squeezing the American manufacturer, IL is quite as much Dutch as it is British. Besides the commanding American rubber manufacturers have rubber pantatons of their own. Therefore, the few Americans who may suffer from any foreign control of rubber not numerous than the Bitsh and Dutch manufacturers who have been forced to pay 3o cents for cotton by reason of Government aid given our planters. And is the farm bloc trying To fasten $2 wheat upon the world?
 We might well be candid about it. If by Gov ernment aid in controlling markets propose to make all foreign buyers pay more for our cotton grain and other products than they have to pay in other markets, should complain of retaliation Would 1t not be infinitely better to practice and en- courage reciprocity in all relations with the great overseas nations than to stimulate bitter rivalry resentment? After the life and death struggle in which we fought side by side with Great Britain aealhst mllitarism that would have paralyzed the
 lberues Of both nations-a struggle which it is by no means certain the two great Ango-Saxon nations may not have to resume some day-t is meet that everything should be done to strengthen the tie that phds, and that there should be avoided every hn dona without any sacrifice of patriotism toward the United States

SMASH DISHES
 AS A PROTEST
Yale Freshmen Start New Campaign Against Eat
 ing Tn U. Dining Room

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, March 23-- Yale freshmen last night abandoned their letter.writing campaign against compulsory eating at the Commons" and conducted g haif.hour dcmonstra- tion in their dining hall, in which bread was hurled about and many dishes were smashed.
 More than 300 members of the class added their voices to the up roar Authorities at the Com mons took no action, but waited until the demonstration ended of it's own accord.
 Yalc freshmen have been protest ing for weeks against the rule in- augurated last year compelling them to eat at the University dining hall Student publications have been car rying many letters from freshmen complaining of the quality of the food served, and protesting against what is regarded as "paternaiism' on the part of the college authorities.
 Prof. R. p Angler, dean of the freshmen, will conduct an investiga- tion.

 The fashion folks tell Us in the same breath that the ladies are to wear knickers this summon and that bu5tles are to he banned. Personally We don't thing those two styles would work together, either.
 The contented man is one who can be happy without the things he cant get. We don't think he has been born yet.
 It would save a good many di, vorces if fellows would pick wives the way they do automobiles. A fel- low buying a car wants to know how far he can travel with it, he wants one that looks well, and wants to know how it will behave under all circumstances and how much it will cost to keep it going. Imagine know ing all those things about a girl be- fore you married herl,!
 "A super-stout doesn't care any thing about how high or how low the waist Fine goes if only it will shrink.
 There's nothing so easy to start as talk and nothing so hard to stop.
 A lot of the folks who are singing "I want to be an angel" aren't doing very much training for the job.
 Nothing will convince you of the truth of the old saying Prom noth- ing nothing come" quite as much as listening to tho arguments of a dumhbell.
 It is all right for the women to desire to keep youthful, but darn if we can see why some of them want to be cry-babies all their lives.
 The reason it is so hard for a man to teach his wife how to drive a car is because she learned so much while driving from the back seat.
 We guess the reason why our meals tasted So much better to Us when We were kids than they do now is because we didn't have to foot the groeers bills for them
 One nice thing about riding on the street car is that you don't have to worry about finding parking place for it when you get down town.
 Another thing that shows how queer tho old-fasllioned. short-haired woman was is the fact she never paid 30 bucks to have it marceled and didn't wear hair net over it.

PAY TRIBUTE TO BoURKE COCHRAN.

It has been long time since the death of an American statesman caused greater shock brought forth more and expressions of sorrow than did the death of Bourke Cochran, New York's great Congressman and orator The unexpect edness of the end which followed his 69th birthday dinner at his home at which Nicholas Longworth and his wife the latter the daughter of Roosevelt and other dis tinguished people guests added the dramatic features of the ending career that has attracted National attention for two score years

 Judge Martin T. Manton of the United States Dietrict Court New York said "Cockran was one of the abest America has produced After praising his oratory he said. his charity knew no limit

 oregon stlll IS getting a great deal of publicity as result of the passage of the compulsory public school attendance law last November The publicity however, is not of great value the advertising standpoint.

MORE REASONS FOR POSTPONING
 PRIMARY DATE.

One of tho excellent things that would be served if the primary election date in Alaska post poned until August would be that candidates would not be required to file their declarations candidacy until after the party platforms had been adopted It would permit the holding of Territorial Gonyen- tions in May June for the selection of delegates the National Conventions at which time Terri the National platforms adopted That would followed by the National Conventions in June when tine National platforms would be adopted That would that the issues between parties would be fairly drawn when local candidates announced their party allegiance by filing for nominations on party tickets Almost always party conventions, particularly Ma tiona conventions, many people to transfer their party allegiance become independents. In these days when people change from party to party lightly it would be well to wait until the issues made up before launching tickets
 One other thing. Under arrangements they row. the primary campaign, which begins in February and ends late in April comes right in the midst of the long session of Congress-just at the time when 1T is doing it's hardea work The long session begins the first of December and shortly afterward the holiday II takes until February for Con to catch it's stride The people of Alaska have right to the undverted services of their represen- tave in Congress in that important time. He should sor"havc to divide his attention between the affairs Of his constituents Washington a primary cleo tion contest back home And the representative him. solf ought not be required to absent himself from his constituents when they discussing his record in Washington, yet he would be neglecting the things he is paid for doing if he should leave the capital during March and April.
 And, further, Delegate Sutherland, for instance will have just got started his 6Sth Congressional program when he will be called upon to account to his constituents fer his stewardship That is fair to him. If the primary election postponed until August the long session would be and his record for the session complete before the accounting time
