"Now by my halidom,” he saith "No more of this for me!” April was called by the ancients

the loveliest of the months. This was because it Typified both the beauty of Venus, for whom it was named, and her philosophy of the uses of beauty. Venus was the most beautiful creature who ever lived. She was the Lillian Russell of mythology. Everybody wanted to marry her, and speculation as to her choice was as great, as that with respect to Alice Roosevelt’s. She knocked the wind out of everybody by marrying Vulcan, who did a general vulcanizing and blaeksmithing business, and was about the age of Secretary McAdoo. He was so ugly that people thronged his shop to trade, just as we go to see Eddie Foy. It had been supposed that Venus would marry Apollo or some other ravishing male beauty, but she took Vulcan and held the soldering iron in the shop ;or him when the automobile season was on, She explained th a t sh e 'eOn si d ered if - the duty of every beautiful woman to marry an ugly man, and asked how else the average-of beauty was to lie raised. Nobody could say, and from that day to. this beautiful women have married ugly men. Thus,we have in April the loveliness of Venus and the thunderbolts .of Vulcan, a combination which meant, more to the ancients than either the flowers of May or the charms of June. . Sweet maiden of: the ibng ago i low many men have i.Jest phy wit, And when the gas wns bnrr.i g low . Have . rendered gratitude for it?

At. any rate the cherry blooms will calmly burst upon the view, and rare and delicate perfumes will wan dor up the avenue. The blithe and supple'-jointed calf will lightly tread th • flowered mead, constituents will telegraph their trusty congressman for seed, the whip-poorwiil at dead of night will run the pleasant scale of spring, the tax assessor will delight in prying into everything, the playful mole will raise bis crest in green embossing the lawn, and the master frog will wake i rom rest and wave his orchestral baton, the sassafras will cleanse the blood and tune the plumbing up to plumb, the depth and texture of the mud will make the good roads movement hum, the sober-minded will revert to sacrifices, hits and bunts, and the lady of the two-slit skirt will show us both her legs at once.

AN ANARCHIST PARADE.

A thousand anarchists, masquerading as the victims of no employment, marched up Fifth avenue Saturday last, shouting defiance to the law and interfering at every step with the rights of others. The gang was led by Alexander Berkman, who served a prison term for attempting to murder Henry C. Frick. Behind him marched Emma Goldman, Carlo Tresca and other members of the ' n .ttstrial Workers of the World. The flag under which they marched bore the watchword of the Italian anarchists. "Demolitione.'’ Berkman, Goldman, Tresca, Marmor, Tannenl.aum the names j indicate the foreign nature of the movement. Possibly there tiiav have been a few Brown-, Joneses and Robinsons in teh procession, but they were not its inspiration.

Many of the leaders have not for years been engaged in any productive employment. The Goldman woman, for instance, is nothing more than a professional anarchist and revolutionist. A few years ago she spoke in this city before a representative audience, attempting to show how effective, and yet how harmlessly philosophical, anarchy was. Here is what she said in New York Saturday: Your toil made the wealth of the nation. It belongs to you. The rich are keeping it from you. The officials do nothing to help you. March down to the mayor. March down to the police. Margh down to the other city officials. Make them tell you what they are going to do to give you food and shelter. , Go to the chuhches, go to the hotels and restaurants, go to the bakeshops, and tell them they give you something to keep you from starving. This started the shrieking, hysterical mob. if jt was like other I. \V. "*• mobs it was composed of men many of whom would not work at any job. Nothing could be mere unAmerican. There are plenty of people in this land who, even in hard times, manage to find Work and' wages. But they a not join mobs whose object is to live without working. Over anu overagain the Ameri'■n toilers have showed their hostility to this organization and its methods, as well they may, for they ave suffered because of them.

Wc note that'Mr. I.inooln Steffens interceded for this gang, and per suaded the police to allow it to use 1 nion Square as a place of meeting, '•\«-n though it had no permit. And this suggests that this country has mad, at least for the present, quite enough of the preachments of Stef- *' us and his kind. Manv people have,been led to believe that eondii ns in the l nited States Were fund- » ntally wrong, w hereas tlmy are JVettir and always have been—in i cis country than in any 'other. There is much to be done in the wav of reform. But it can and will ' '• done under the forms of law:, and as a result of the sober action of the people. Never in the history of the world were men and women as free as they are in the United States at the present moment. The . government is their government—not one imposed on them. Our sentimental philosophers would do well to reconsider some of their views in the light of the facts.—lndianapolis News.

CLAPP PREDICTS DEATH OF REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Senator Declares Two Great Bodies, One t oiisorvHtive and the Other Ratiical. Will Conic Out of Realignment. Bangor. Me., March 21 - Two great parties, one conservative and Ihe other liberal, will result from, the political alignment in progress in this country, declared Senator Moses E. Clapp in a speech at the progressive state convention here today. "There is no fundamental line .of demarcation between the republican and democratic parties at present.” lie said, "and pending the inevitable new alignments I urge you to stand firm for progressive principles, • T he name of the democratic party, as applied to a political party, has always been a misnomer. The party has never been democratic. It has always involved the ideas that a lew men shall dictate the purposes and policies to the many. I'he republican party, in its inception, was based upon the broad principle that government if for all must he by all. It was the abandonment of this principle under Mr. I 1:11 that led to the ruin of the Party. " lhe question now arises, what of the future? it is idle to talk of resuscitating the republican party. If under the splendid leadership of ( olonel Roosevelt the republican party could not be permanently restored to its old-time vigor or purpose, it is idle to talk of such restoration when the great body of

the progressive element has permanently le't the party. " e have only to stand firm. The democratic party can no more out-. aro\k tiie barnacles that have fastened upon it than could the republican party.”

“COME BACK.”

< austic Editorial From Marion, Ind., Observer. * Since the campaign of 1912 progressives have been asked time and time again bv leaders erstwhile co-g<-nt kindly to step down and out, and come back to the republican party. \\*e have been cajoled, browbeaten, harshly used, and commanlpd to come back. We have been whispered to, and flattered by rosy promises; we have listened to tremulous voices, and bowed our heads to IhCiF penitent manner; felt grieved to note their humble state of mind; and then, of a sudden, we are shocked at their defiant manner, their i age, and their loud commands had - ed up with the crack of the whip. All to come back! W e are asked to come back, not to the republican party (honor to its name), but to the leaders of that party who have nothing in common with progressive principles and hopes. We are asked to come back 'o those leaders who for the last few years have dragged the name republican through the mire and the dirt and the slime; and instead of their being permitted to use it, those well-meaning persons, who for the glory the name has given to the country remain with it, ought to see to it that it be given a decent burial, and that a wreath of roses be placet! upon its grave.”

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be takem„out and this tube retored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Cat arrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any ease of Deafness (caused by catarrah) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F, J. CHEXE\ & CO. r .
