quent primary.. Evenwere it possi
ble to Improvise the machinery . to
hold it, and raise the money to pay

Moreover, such a soapbox primary
would beg the whole question

pented of the nomination accorded to
Jndge Norrla, for it would merely
precipitate a new dispute as to which
voters are entitled to participate in

ones have forfeited that right by

is not feasible. Judge Norris will
doubtless have accomplished all he

The Woman in the Tower.
Now that the woman in the tower
who gave the signal to the train that
was wrecked at Western Springs, 111.,
has admitted that she may have been
partly to blame for the catastrope,
it will probably be said that a rail
road signal tower Is no place for a
woman; that a woman is unfitted by
temperament for the strain of such an
occupation. It will' not be hard to
recall In the face of this that most
of these towers are occupied by men
and that In spite of that fact other
wrecks have occurred from time to
time. ','"''(
The modern railroad uses the tele
phone instead of the telegraph for
dispatching trains. The telephone
was used in this case, and the woman
in the tower misunderstood the mes
sage that came to her. A man might
have done the same thing. The point
is that the telephone, no more than
the telegraph, nor the block signal,
nor any other device yet contrived,
is absolute proof . against accidents,
but the hazard seems to diminish in
proportion to the lessening of human
agency .Railroads are constantly
experimenting with new inventions
for making travel safer. with excel
lent results. But only the other day
a locomotive engineer testified on a
witness stand that the severest strain
on the mas in the cab is the ever
present dread of accident. It would
seem we are still in the experimental
stage.
If That's the Way He Feels.

within the republican party under these
conditions. Tbecdore Roosevelt's latest
article In the Outlook.
If that's the way he feels, why
should avowed supporters of Colbnel

If that's the way , he feels, why
should presidential electors profess

Critical Comment on Passing Events in Foreign Countries.
British Workmen' Insaraace.
"The event of the week In Great Britain
was the going. Into effect , of the new
workmen's insurance' law. which became
operative on Monday. This measure Is
another of the achievements of Lloyd
George, chancellor of the exchequer, who
came before the world three years ago.
as a result of his then novel, propositions
for taxing "the unearned increment" of
land, and for" other -Innovations be had
Proposed in the , annual British budget
About 15,000,000 'persons are' within the
purview of the law, and of these more
than 10.000,000 had been registered for Its
benefit when It went into effect on Mon
day. Under this law sick and . out of
work benefits are paid from a fund that
Is raised by the collection of a fixed
amount from both employers and em
ployed, based on the wages paid, to which
a stated sum is added by the government
Speaking of the law and what he hoped
from It, Chancellor Lloyd-George said;
'The workingmen'a insurance act Is
one more step achieved In the great
liberal forward movement which began
with the old pension act was continued
by the budget of 1900 providing for the
taxation of land In Great Britain, and
has since been furthered by the enact
ment of the law depriving the House of
Lords "Wit power of veto over legisla

people's representatives.

Great Britain as a sUte. employer and
worker are now to co-operate to maln-7

the individual and of the nation. The
workman's insurance act alma to make

"It will help the mother at childbirth

Drop, la British "Consols."
Along with the consummation of the
insurance act in Great Britain came the
news that "consols," the British govern
ment securities, had fallen to 75. the low
est point touched by the Issue In its ores-
nt SH per cent form. The cause for this
was naturally sought In the schemes of
the government for ameliorating the con
ditions of the lower classes, of its popu
lation, and for raising revenue, the tax
on land, being especially held responsible.
Such., reasoning- is not ' altogether .'con
vincing.' All securities held, for fixed in'
coma have suffered much In price of late,
even the tUnlted States government hav
ing felt called upon to guaranty par for
its 2 per cent bonds. Taxation on land
in Great Britain has been found much of
a ' burden, especially heavy on dead
estates, where real estate cannot be sold
to advantage, and it thus becomes neces
sary to sell the consols and other se
curities for which there is a ready mar
ket to meet the inheritance taxes. But
the more reasonable ground on which to
account for the low price of government
securities is that money can readily find
a more attractive market in private ven
tures. Industrial undertakings are es
pecially Inviting. It is to this, then,
rather than to the Lloyd-George pro
gram, that the slump in consols Is at

Herr von Jagow, president of the
Berlin, who made for himself a name by
his famous order against the long hatpin,
has once more secured the center of the
stage for a moment. He. now propose
to regulate "bargain" sales, to the end
that when a cuKtomer seeks the store of
a merchant who has attracted , him
thither by alluring promises of low
prices, the merchant shall make good on
his advertisement. He insists that too
much fraud exists in connection ' with
these sales, and that when a merchant

Attacking- Pro-Frenrh Agitator.
The sentencing, of Herr Schats, man
ager of a factory at Saargemund, to four
months', imprisonment for', turning , the
face' of a bust of the kaiser to the wall Is
construed at -Berlin as an indication that
the government intends to put a' damper
on the rabid pro-French : agitators of
Alsace-Lorraine.' - ,
8chats offense was committed at
meeting called for the organization of a
French society. In the discussion as to
the probable attitude of the German gov.
ernment toward the society Schats turned
a bust of the kaiser to the wall with the
witticism: "We know you from one side,
William, now we shall know you from
the other." The act was reported to a
magistrate and there followed the first
case of lese majeste that has been in the
German courts for many years.
The pro-French agitators of Alsace
Lorraine are endeavoring to arouse the
old spirit of the lrreconcllables against
Germany, the leading people believing
that there is a chance of a reunion, with
France. The government for a time shut
It eyea to the situation. Then the kaiser
sent a warning to the Alsaclans, through
the mayor of Strassburg, saying' that
they "had heretofore seen only bis good
side, but might soon see another." When
this called forth the witticism of Schats
at the society' meeting the government
officials decided that It was time for
action and the prosecution of Schats fol
lowed. The government now seems de
termined upon a policy' of firmness lest
the method of ignoring-the -pro-French
feeling be mistaken by the agitators for
weakness. v :-
Bare Death for Loenst. '
K young French doctor, D'Hexelle," has
reported the discovery of ' a successful
method of fighting the locust . plague.
While in Mexico in 1910 he observed that
there was an epidemic among the locusts
Which was killing there by the thousands.
He succeeded in discovering the bacillus
that caused the epidemic and then 'In
vited a South American state to test his
remedy. Swarms of locusts that were
kept between barriers were exterminated
within a week after they had eaten. grass
which had been sprinkled with Dr. D'Her
elle's preparation. The infected insects
spread the disease to a great distance In
a short time and' dead locusts were found
thirty miles from the sprinkled grass
plot a week after the, experiment.. Forty
days later dead locusts were found as
far away as 260 miles. This spring Dr.
D'Herelle visited La Rioja. Argentine Re
public, where Immense swarms of young
locusts threatened a plague worst than
any ever before experimented there.
Mule were; used, to, carry the disease

fields. Three weeks later only one living
swarm of locusts was to be found In the
entire district. Cattle and sheep are not
harmed by eating the sprinkled grass. .
Care Fined for Sermon.
Only occasionally does an incident oc
cur to recall the struggle between the
church and the state in France, from
which the church has emerged poorer,
but unquestionably more influential. A
story comes from Brittany, where the
church always bad tfie strongest hold,
that M, Legoff, a septuagenarian, bought
last October church property valued at
110,000 for $1,640 from the liquidator. The
cure of Languldlcf denounced the transac
tion In a sermon and for this he was ar
rested and fined S200 by the civil author
ities. A violent local dispute then arose
and resulted the Vlscomte Kerret,
son of the mayor of Languldlc, and a
supporter of the church, being fined and
Imprisoned! M. Legoff, feeling that he
was nearlng his end, summoned the cure
last Friday and offered to restore the
property to the church If he were reim
bursed for the' full amount he had paid.
The proposition was accepted- and the
papers of transfer were drawn. The next
day M. Legoff died. The whole local
clergy attended his funeral.

THE GIRL I LEFT BEHIND ME.
Thomas O. Davis.
The dames of France are fond and free,
And Flemish lips are willing;
And soft the maids of Italy,
And Spanish eyes are thrilling;
Still, though I bask beneath their smile,
Their charms all fall to bind me. -And
my heart flies back to Erin's isle.
To the girl I left behind me.
'I ''-:.'
For she's as fair as Shannon's side,
And purer than its water.
But she refused to be my bride,
Though many a year I sought her;
Yet, since to France I sailed away,
Her letters oft remind me
That-1 promised never to gainsay
The girl I left behind me.
She saysV'My own dear love, come home,
My friends are rich and many,. . . ,
Or else abroad with you I'll roam
A soldier stout as any;
If you'll not come, nor let me go,
I'll think you have resigned me.".
My heart nigh broke when I answered-i
No!-
To the girl I left behind me. '
For never shall my true love brave
A life of war and toiling;
And never as a skulking slave'
I'll tread my native soil on;
But, were It free, or to be freed, '
The battle's close would find me
To Ireland bound nor message need
For the girl I left behind me. . .
