Do you know, we rather expected
the Commoner to "view with horror,"
the Supremo Court decision.
Europe isn't so much concerned
about the yellow peril now-a-days as
she is about the red, white and blue
peril.
Texas is prospering wonderfully with
her oil wells, but, all the same, there
are lots of holes in the ground down
there that have panned out nothing but
mortgages.

Perhaps it is just as well that the
New York Yacht Club has the Indepen
dence to fall back on, if the accident
to the Constitution really betokens any
actual structural weakness.
Once in so often men are elected to
the Vice-Presidency of the United
States and to the French Academy of
Immortals. In both cases they disap
pear.
The Allies are sneaking out of China
with their tails between their legs.
Uncle Sam is about the only one who
has gotten out of the mess with any
credit—and even he has gained little
cash.

So far from the decision of the Su
preme Court making President Mc-
Kinley an Emperor, eight of the nine
Justices specially declared that the
Constitution limited the action of Con
gress and the ninth said that "it must
be guided by the principles" of that
document.

It is somewhat interesting to learn
that Mrs. Eddy was unable to take the
stand in that libel suit by reason of her
age and feeble health. So even Christian
Scientists admit that old age isn't alto
gether imaginary.

There is to be no extra session. It
would be ridiculous to hold one until
the Supreme Court makes it specifically
necessary. No one can guess with any
accuracy how a court so divided will
decide any future cognate question.

"In his steps" Sheldon's hired girl

The Democratic party has of late ex
pressed considerable love for the old
soldier, but they failed to show it when
the bill making an appropriation for a
memorial building on Gettysburg bat
tlefield was before the House, says the
Harrisburg Telegraph. The word was
passed around among the Democrats
by their leaders that, this was a bill that
must be defeated because it had been
introduced by a Representative who
had incurred their displeasures and they
were going to permit the old soldier
to stand between them and their re
venge. In this they were aided by some
of the insurgents, but it must be said
to their credit, that some of the Demo
crats refused to take orders and voted
for the bill, incurring the wrath of their
Democratic colleagues. Representative
ITaag, who aspires to Democratic
leadership, but who up to this time has
only made his extreme partisanship
obnoxious, asked why there should be
a memorial on the Gettysburg field,
and Representative Voorhees told him
very sharply that it was because it
commemorated the services of the
many Pennsylvanians who had died in
the famous battle, and intimated that
it was in a war that was waged against
the Union by Democrats. The shot
told. But the Democrats as a body,
with few exceptions, chose to show
their old time dislike for the old soldier
and voted against the bill. After the
attempted defeat of the measure a
Democrat who had voted for it remark
ed that the Democratic party was going
to try to win the next Governor's fight,
but if its members expected to win
after turning down the old soldier they
were daft.

(?) considerably since he left, notably:
the new railroad and the cutting off of

Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: Perhaps you are going to
paint your house, and don't believe in
Devoe. We'll make you an offer:
Paint half your house lead and oil;
the other half Devoe lead and zinc.
In three years the lead and oil halt
will be hungry for paint; the Devoe
half will turn water as well as when
new.
If not, our agent will stand by this:
"If you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in the painting
or hereafter in the wear, tell your deal
er about it.
"We authorize him to do what is
right at our expense."
Devoe lead, and zinc holds color bet
ter than lead; turns water twice as long.
Yours truly,
