The successful candidate might be n man whom the remaining 100 oters would not lie willing to support f..r office under any condition. Would such a nomination represent the "will of the people"? The Observer thinks not. This is supposing an extreme case. It would very rarely if ever happen that a candidate was nominated by so small a percentage of Republican votes.

One million dollars more money than any man can save in a lifetime work ing for salary or wages awaits tlie Inventor who can give to the world an appliance, no matter how simple, which will consume smelter smoke. Smoke consumers are used with success in many of the large cities of our country, but the smoke In such cases Issues from ordinary heating plants birrlng coal or wood. Smelter smoke contains fumes and gases from the roasting ores and thus far the human mind has failed to find an influence that will combat thrills while recounting his services to his country. Robert was the eldest of the 12 chil dren of the Earl of Oarlck. He was born July 11. 1274. During his early years he lived at the court of King Ed ward I. and It Is said that he even Joined the English army which the king led Into Scotland to fight the brave Wallace. Put soon after the shameful death of that chief, Bruce began to think tnat he would put himself at the head of the Scots, in order to rescue his country from the harsh rule of the Eng lish, and obtain the crown for himself. He dared not openly avow this design, because he was still in the power of the English king. Rut he told a, friend whom lie trusted all tnat was In his heart, and this friend, whose name was Comyn, after pretending that he quite agreed with Bruce In his plan, shame fully went and betrayed him to Ed ward. Edward did not seize him Imme diately, snd he was warned by the Earl of Gloucester, who sent him, by a ser vant, a purse of money and a pair of spurs. This was rather a puzzling present, but Bruce was quick enough to cotnpre- hefd. and he took the hint Immediately, shoeing bis horse, we are told, wrong side before, ln order that any one who pursued him might think he had gone in an opposite direction. He reached Bcotland ln a few days, and under their new leader the 8cots took fresh heart and in a very short time drove the Eng lish into their own country. English with varying suocess. At one perldd he was on the point of abandoning the struggle, but at that very moment, raising his head, lie saw a spider trying again and again to fix a thread for Its web. Twelve times It failed, but the thirteenth attempt was successful; and it at once struck the despondent mon arch that If an Insect could show so much perseverance, a man ought to be ashamed of giving up ln despair. With renewed spirit he set himself to his great task, and at the end of three years almost the whole of Scotland recognized him as king, when he as cended the throne March 21, 1306. Five years later, 1313. the glorious battle of Bannockburn. ln which a hundred thousand English under Ed ward II were defeated by the Scots, es tablished Bruce ln his kingdom, and freed Scotland from foreign masters. Robert Bruce died at the age of 64, In the year 1329, after a reign of 22 years. On March 21, 1556, Archbishop Cran rner was burned at tne stake at Oxford.

The Pawn of Empire. From the Chicago Tribune. All I hat once was Kaskaskla, the cen ter fl-st of French and later of British power In Illinois an3 the west, chief settlement and future capital of the state, has long since vanished Into the maw of the hungry- Mississippi, which still, unRppeased, gnaws at this shore and at that, dissolving the land ln Its tawny flood. But less than 150 years ago the settlement and its tributary territory loomed large in the fortunes of Great Britain. Today Kaskaskla Is nothing but a name, and her annals, tnose chronicles written In the French of the revolution ary days, misspelled English, or the Latin of the church, tie ln musty ar chives In far off Quebec or ln the vaults of historical societies in various state capitals. Some must be sought In the museums of Ijondon and Paris. The Illinois state historical library, however, is doing a magnificent thing In select ing, collating, arranging and editing all extant documents relating to Virginia Foss for Cong-ress. From the Boston Globe (Irid.) Voters of the Fourteenth district will shortly have an opportunity to register their oiinion of Cannonlsm, Aldrlchlsm and standpattism. The whole country will await with interest the expression of that opinion at the balloting for mem ber of congress March 22. The Fourteenth is a typical district. Old colony to the backbone and Cape Cod in its underpinnings, ft Is thoroughly American in Its aspirations and Us enterprises. Composed of communities which are representative of our national versallty, Its verdict will be instructive. Fortunately, the case to be tried at the polls Is not between persons, but between principles. The Republican nominee Is well qualified to sit In the national legislature. So Is the Demo cratic nominee. But the Republican nominee, Mr. Buchanan, represents the conservative, or reactionary, wing of his party, a wing which many think has thwarted and Is still thwarting the efforts of the American people in behalf of more progressive legislation. On the other hand, Mr. Foss, the Democratic candidate, Is unequivocally representative of the advanced elements In both parties. If the election were a mere local af fair comment on it might be deemed superfluous. But it Is not It may have a national significance. It doubt less will have a state wide Influence Its result will proclaim Just where Massachusetts stands in the national contest between reaction and progress.
