In Shakespeare's “Tempest” Caliban Is a savage, deformed slave,—half beast, half man—In the service of l»rospero, the magician. He was the offspring of Sycorax, a fool hag ban ished from Argler (or Algiers) to the enchanted Island, afterwards inhab ited by Prospero. The word Caliban to sometimes used to denote anything new or strange. The allusion Is, of course, to Caliban, In the Tempest, a Character in which Shakespeare has blended qualities both hideous and re pulsive. Lift Off-No Pain! Doesn’t hurt one bit!

Wile United States Senator* eat through Senator FTank B. WilUR' sonorous reading of the farewell address on Washington's Birthday in no perfunctory spirit. The floor was not crowded, but was well filled. Perhaps half the membership of the Senate was present, about equally divided between republicans and democrats. Men wer there who have weathered many similar occasions- -Lodge, Warren, Simmons, Overman, Smoot, Iatfalletta, Brandegee and Borah, each of whom has | been In the Senate for more than 17 years. Coplea of the address were in the hands of all senators and were followed intently as Willis read it The Ohioan raised his voice to an oratorical pitch only when he came to the passages in which Washington warned against “entangling alliances.“ Probably never in our history has a cabinet ol I ficer of the republic been on the floor of the Senate at a more thrilling moment than the hour Harry M. Daugherty spent there on Washington’s Birthday. The attorney-general promised Senator Willis a long time ago that he would listen to his farewell address per formance. When the session began, Daugherty took up his station in one of the big armchairs back of the republican side of the bouse. Worry seemed a thing he didn’t know the meaning of. A wag in the press gallery said it was a case of an untersified Daniel in the lions’ den. Cabinet ofTicers have the privileges of the floors of congress. Senator Moses, republican stalwart, stepped over to Daugherty for a smiling chat. Later Senator Davis Blkins, of West Virginia, took a seat alongside the attorney-general perhaps because misery loves company. Capitol Hlli is suffering from an acute attack ot nervous investigation. In the Senate, according to official information supplied to this observer, no fewer than 40 to 60 investigations are pending, au thorised or asked for by resolution. In the House, about 26 are under way or projected. The Senate inquisitions embrace oil, Russia, the Bureau of En graving, piopaganda, causes of the World war, and a variety ot other topics in and out of the criminal code. House investigations cover oeneral Wood, bootlegging in the District of Columbia, ticket-scalp ing Washington rents, why the colored vote In the south doesn’t vote, Alaskan fisheries and what-not. There would have to be a wing added to the con gressional library to house the printed proceedings of bearings held in recent years. Usually the vol umes are read only by tbe unfortunate compositor* who put them into type. Since he recently passed from the scene, many untold anecdotes of Woodrow Wilson are gaining cur rency. For years he carried a copy of Rudyard Rlp Ung's inspirational poem, *‘If’ in hiB wallet Often Wilson told his Intimate friends that Kipling in “if had epitomised tbe whole Wilsonian philosophy of life and politics—the determination to keep on fight ing when fighting was the hardest, and to amiie through defeat as valiantly as in triumph. Once in a while Wilson would say that his favorite stanza ft* "If wae: “If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings. And never breathe a word about your loss’..., John Stiles, speaking on behalf of the Rotary club of Ottawa, Canada, in Washington the other day told of the astonishment of a distinguished Euro pean visitor in Ontario, as he was shown a map containing the unfortified “imaginary line'' between the United States and Canada. The European was a military man. He pointed to half-a-dozen points on the border which he said were obviously “strategic points” of great value. “Are there no fort* there?" he asked. “None,” he was told. “What is there?" the Old World denizen persisted. "Nothing but hydro-electric stations for peace-time industry," was the reply, whereupon his Canadian host preached an eloquent sermon on what war mad Europe could learn from North America's “unprotected” frontier of 3,000 miles. Representative Meyer Jacobstein, of Rochester, N. Y., seized upon the 102nd anniversary of George Washington’s birth to make a timely argument in favor of the soldiers bonus. Mr. Jacobstein has been reading Washington’s diary and there he discovered that the Father of His Country cordially approved of th« payment of & Revolutionary war bonus not only to the enlisted men, but to the officers, of tbe Continental army. General Washington himself was voted immense grants of land in token of bis service in the Indian wars, including vast slices of what is now the state of Ohio. But he returned them for Inclusion in the domains of the public lands. French Occupation Taught Germany It Can Pay Share of War Expenses From the New York Post. As the time draws near for some sort of showdown on the German reparations issue, signs and portents begin to appear. The Dawes committee, whieh has so far worked in comparative secrecy, is about to make its report. Naturally there is specula tion with regard to the “recommendations” that are to be sub mitted not only to the reparation commission and the govern ments involved but also to a more or less candid world. Two of these forecasts are of more than passing interest. One is that the members of the inquiry board are convinced, after surveying the situation in Berlin, that Germany can pay the total amount demanded by the Allies. The German government has not been collecting taxes. If Germans are taxed as heavily as Frenchmen or Englishmen, as has time and again been demon strated, the obligation of 132,000,000,000 gold marks can be met within the stipulated period of 40 years. Once this point is established and stamped with the approval of the committee of experts, matters will be considerably simpli fied. The know-it-all brethren and the German propagandists Lave for years, day in and day out, been hammering upon this one nail. “Astronomical figures,” “impossible indemnities,” “ridiculous, ruinous, monstrous reparations” were but a few of their favorite expressions. By dint of mere repetition they man aged to gain wide circulation and considerable acceptance for their viewpoint. The reason for the belief that Germany can shoulder the bur den lends itself to no such picturesque and dramatic exposition. Germany has no national debt, and therefore no sinking fund and interest charges to meet. Make reparations her national debt, with annual charges of $625,000,000 a year. Tax Germane no higher than Frenchmen are taxed for the same purpose, and much lower than Englishmen, and the accessary amount is pro- j vided. That is all there is to it. It would never have been possible to force Germany to as sume this debt had France not taken the role of sheriff and occu pied the Ruhr region. Germany was prospering under a policy of evasion. Berlin was receiving from the outside encourage ment enough to convince authorities they could persist in sueh a course. Under pressure from France the policy had to be abandoned. Men who believed that Germany would have to submit, that it would be ehcape:* in the end for Germany to submit, were placed in the high places of German politics and governmental finance. Gradually the “will to pay” uamc into being. Graft In European Pros*. From the New York Times. Articles were published some weeks j ago in the socialist newspaper of Paris, U’Humanlte, showing the cor- ' rupt relations between many French Journals and the Russian govern- • ment. The documents were drawn from the .archives of the Russian foreign office. They consist largely of reports made by the Russian fi nancial agent In Paris. He had been constituted a sort of paymaster of the forces in connection with tho French press. The whole makes up a shocking story of bribery or blackmail resorted to at the time of the floatation of successive Russian loans on the French market. There is, te be sure, nothing par ticularly novul or surprising in this disclosure, klot only France, bu» in other continental countries, the re lation of must newspapers to their government, and to the governments of foreign nations, has been different from anything known in the United Suites or in England. Sometimes subsidies are given direct. More often Journalists have secretly been in re ceipt of money in return for their supposed influence. The system has been tong established and perfectly familiar, but is none the less utterly reprehensible. There is no excuse for it. It brings journalism under suspicion and reproach. It will be a happy day for continental Europe when in can point to newspapers that are selfsupportlng and Independent and known by all to have opinions that cannot be bought. The defense is set up that con tlr.entil newspapers could not live units* 11 '•>- securer! from time to time, funds from political aspirants, or from governments desiring to make use of them. The small amount of advertising carried by foreign newspapers Is not sufficient It is asserted, to enable them to meet their coat of publication. They are driven to seek financial help secretly, whether altogether legitimate or not. This may be an explanation, but it is no defense. The first duty of u self-respecting newspaper man—a duty both to his own culling and to the public—is to make the press what it professes to be, an honest medium 4 of news and of editorial conviction.

Hiram Johnson enters the primaries in Ohio. A) Smith, of New York, en ters the primaries in Illinois. His petition was filed with the secretary of state yesterday—by friends, he said. He, It seems knew nothing about tt. Another copper concern, the In spiration Copper Company, yester day followed the example of the big Anaconda, and skipped its dividend. That means bad salesmanship and not enough advertising. If the cop per men would explain, through ad vertising In plain language what copper means and what it saves on building, no company able to pro duce copper at 20 cents a pound or better, need lack business. The convenient flummery that permits lawyers to withhold infor mation concerning clients as "secrets and sacred” should be ended. As things stand now a big legal rascal, helping a bigger corporation rascal to conceal his stealings, rises solemnly in court to say, "this is sacred confidence between lawyer and client.” There is no more reason for such sacred confidence between lawyer and client, where crime Is commit ted, than there is for sacred confi dence between burglar and pawn shop keeper. When a pawnshop man helps a burglar to sell his loot he is com pelled to tell about It and refund. A lawyer helping a corporation to steal property from the government should also be compelled to tell all about it. There Isn’t any "saerednese" in theft. The franc while a little stronger yesterday is still dangerously weak. But be careful how you go “short** of French currency. The French have a great deal of real money. They can, whenever they choose, cut off the cost of ex travagant military spending, the subsidizing of Poland and other military powers. The French are naturally most economical and on the average the richest people in the world. It won’t pay In the long run to sell France or her money “short."

Young people that Inherit money may be depended upon to scatter it swiftly enough. Leaving vast sums of money to children, making work unnecessary, is the most harmful thing that could happen to them. But it is still more li&rmful to the general public to dis courage the country’s ablest men. Their ambition, Just now, is to pile up money, which they don't need and which will spoil their children. But if they want it, let them have it. An African chief that kills a lion wants 40 fat black wives. Let him have them. The lion killing is Lhf important thing.

WESTERN PIONEER TELLS INTERESTING EXPERIENCE Frank Rikert, Who Left Illi nois for California in Cov ered Wagon in 1864, Wouldn't Take $100 for Bottle of Tanlac. Frank Rikert. well-known resident of North Sacramento, Cal., who came to the state front Illinois In a covered wagon In 1804, along with other hardy pioneers, recently exhibited a bottle of Tanlac. which he had Just purchased, to a friend at hia home and remarked: "If I thought this was the last bottle of Tanlac I would ever be able to buy, I wouldn't take one hundred dollars for It," thus proving the high valuation Vegetable Tablet Said to Give Men Energy The admiralty Is experimenting with a-new extract, In tablet form, of water cress, spinach and other green plants.

Your doctor advises internal cleanliness HE will tell you that the first results of consti pation headache, sleepless nights, bilious ness, backache, etc.—warn that the body is flooded with intestinal poisons. In time, these poisons may cause the breakdown of health and lead to •erious disease. In constipation, say intestinal specialists, lies the primary cause of more than C three-quarters of all illness including the gravest 1 diseases of life. m Hence, doctor* urge internal cleanliness— regular and thorough removal of food waste from the body. 'yjju Laxatives Aggravate Constipation 4?== Laxatives and cathartics do not overcome constipation, says a noted authority, but by Say their continued use tend only to aggravate the condition and often lead to permanent injury. Why Physicians Favor Lubrication Medical science, through knowledge of the intesti nal tract gained by X-ray observation, has found at last in lubrication a means of overcoming constipa tion. The gentle lubricant, Nujol, penetrates and softens the hard food waste and tlius hastens its passage out of the body. Thus Nujol brings in ternal cleanliness. Nujol is used in leading hospitals and is prescribed by physicians throughout the world. Ntyol is not a medicine or laxative and cannot gripe. Like pure water it is harmless. Get rid of constipation and avoid disease by adopting the habit of internal cleanliness. Take Nujol as regularly as you brush your teeth or wash your face. For sale by all druggists.
