The death of Bishop Williams is
a bard blow to the Kpiscopal

Bishop Williams.

That epidemic of hiccoughs which
is causing some alarm in Eastern

time. Those cities won't go dry for

Henry Ford's new newspaper says
it intends to enlighten the people

Although the calendar indicates
that it is still mid-winter, the rivers
and smaller streams of Nebraska
have started on their annual break
up. The warm weather has con
tinued for such a long period and
the snow has melted . so gradually
and been absorbed by the ground
that no serious floods are anticipat

Of the sixty-two persons mention
ed as pacifists in the list given out
last week by the military intellig
ence service, twenty-seven were, or
had been, affiliated with colleges or
theological seminaries. The World
Almanac lists 36.737 instructors in
higher educational insit tutions.
Twenty-seven out of thirty-seven
thousand isn't a disturbing number.
At the same time it isn't pleasant
that even tweny-seven Americans in
positions of intellectual leadership
should have failed the Nation in a
crisis.
There Is more Catarrh In this section
of the country than all other diseases

local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
it Incurable. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly Influenced by constitutional con

tional treatment. Hall's Catarrn Medi

The Indiana "wet" legislator who
raised a howl because the Senate

Because the word "join ." instead I
of "concurrent" appeared in the I

Raymond Hitchcock's assertion
that the stage drunk will always be
funny, even after nation-wide pro

stage drunk is the only kind of

The British government told the
Irish Parliament to proceed and go
as far as it liked in parliament ing.
The Irish Parliament has not been
heard of since, evidently crushed
once more by British tyranny.

Some criticism has been made
against the Democrats because the
final solution for the railroad ques
tion will be left for a republican
congress. Well, they wanted in
power, let them work out the prob
lem. :o:
The Chicago Tribune has its crit
ics, too. A reader recently wrote
to that newspaper: "After reading
the editorial under the caption A
Dry U. S. A.. I have concluded that
national prohibition yill undoubt
edly be beneficial to your editorial
writer."
:o:
If the republican , legislature
makes the constitutional convention
political, which they can do if they
want to they can prepare for its de
feat at the election. By all means
this constitution-making should be
non-political, and the "peolpe won't
stand for anything else.
:o:
National prohibition, no doubt,
will mean the creation of several
new jobs as, for instance, that of
seeing that the home made cider
doesn't become too hard, and we
know several deserving patriots who
may be relied upon to accept the
position of Oflicial Taster.

An Iowa storekeeper became con
fused and sent a dozen golf balls to
a man who ordered a dozen eggs,
and the eggs he sent to the man who
wanted the golf balls. Nothing was
heard from the man who got the!
eggs, but the man who received the I
golf balls raised an awful yell.

We need a new state house. There
i.i no question about that. And the
sooner we get it the better. It has!
been a question as to location fori
many years. Just as well settle the!
whole business right now, and be I
done with it. Nobody can blame I
the west part of the state for want-J
ing the capital nearer to them, and I
we want it right where it is for our
benefit, and there you are.
CHEER FOR THE THIRSTY.
If you will just have a little
patience and wait around for about
a hundred years you can Lave all
the liquor you want. How? Why,
plant a flock of date palm trees
right now and sit around and wait.
The department of agriculture hands
us the following information:
"At the age of 100 years the tree
can bo tapped for an alcoholic bev
erage, a gallon of which can be
drawn off each day for a whole fort-
nigntafter which it ceases to be
palatable. The date palm is now
being successfully cultivated in the
United States." Cincinnati Enquir

THE COST OF REPARATION.
American engineers who have
made a survey of the dty. or what
was the city, of St. Quentin, report
that the Hun devastation has been
so complete that the cheapest and
quickest way to rebuild it will be to
raze the whole city and build an en
tirely new one. Before the war St
Quentin was the industrial capital
of the department of the Aisne. It
had numerous textile plans, print
ing establishments1, foundries, ma
cl'ine shops, agricultural implement
factories and other factories.
The American officer who reports
on the dstruction of the city
which Drevious to the war had a
population of over 50,000, says: "In
perhaps fifty houses that I examin-
ed there was not a stick of furniture
nor a picture on the wall, not an
ornament left. Even . the electric
wiring and the gas fixtures had
been carried off." That was not
due wholly to looting by private
soldiers. It was done by the orders
of the commanding officers. The
assessing of the cost of reparation
is not done by making "estimates."
it is the result of adding up the
losses found in oflicial reports made
by competent engineering oilicers.

IT'S THE SAME GERMANY.
Kurt Eisner. Bavarian, seems to
lie a human sort. It was Kurt who
said in an interview when he came
into power at Munich: "But I don't
want to be a statesman. I want to
tell the truth." While it was ob
vious hat a man with so quaint an
aniMtion could not hope to have a
future in Germany h!s wistful as
pirations won him a measure of
sympathetic interest from many per
sons. it recalled tne old hymn,
sung in the days before statesman
ship had attained its present per
fection. "I Want to Be an Angel and
With the Angels Stand
Mr. Eisner has agian shown his
human qualities by expressing dis
appointment at the result of the
derman elections. His own party
was badly beaten in Bavaria. We
assume pulpit and press must have
been for him, and that he was in
dorsed by all the civic bodies. The
fact that his party elected-only four
representatives out of a total of
156 seems to show that he must
have had the support of the reform

Mr. Eisner uses words which show
bow complete is reaction's triumph
&ud how well he recognizes that it
must be borne. "Such a state of
affairs," he says, "is intolerable."
So, of course, it is a state of affairs
that will have to be tolerated.
But it gives us all occasion to re-
fleet that, despite all that has hap
pened in Germany, Germauy and
the German people are unchanged.

THE AIR ROUTE TO THE POLE.
Doubtless the proposed aeroplane
expedition to the North Pole is
feasible in these days of long voy
ages through the air. The plans of
the Aero club have been well work
ed out. but the purposes of the in
tended exploration are not so clear.
Henry Woodhouse, a member of the
board of governors, says that "from
a national standpoint it is abtolute-
ly necessary to explore and map all
the land, island possessions
waterways under the control of the
Pnited States."
Most of the islands and water
ways in the Arctic north ot tne
American continent are clarified as
British possessions, and Greenland
belongs to Denmark. It is only fur
ther west, between Beaufort sea and
the pole, that the explorers could
expect to find new lands in the un
charted, waters north of Alaska that
would properly come under control
of the United States. Of course.
every bit of knowledge that can be
added to the store of human know
ledge is worth while, but in some
cases tlie attendant hardships out
weigh the advantages. Great Brit-
iin' would hardly quarrel with us
f we should annex to Alaska some
of the icebound regions to the north.
nd the pole itself by virtue of
Peary's discovery is already Ameri
can. But he found there oniy a vasi
floating ocean of ice with no land
iu sight
A photograph of tho North Pole
might bear a resemblance to a fam
ous picture of the Red sea after the
passage of the Israelites. It was
simply a field of plain blue paint.
When the artist was asked where
were Pharaoh's chariots he replied
that they had been submerged by
the waters. And where were the
sraelites? They had already pass
ed over. Only, in the present case,
the field would be likely to be pure
white instead of blue. New York

Getting Rid of Coughs
The easiest and quickest way to
get rid of a cold is to take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. This prepara
tion has been in use for many years
ami its value is fully proven. No mat
ter what remedy you. use, however,
care must be taken not to contract a
second cold before you have recover
ed from the first one, and there is
serious danger of this. A man of
middle age or older should go to bed
and stay in bed until fully recover
ed. It is better to stay in bed three
days at the start than three weeks
later" on,
