It is pro posed by Senator Thomas of Colorado at practically the old 1896 ratio of sixteen to one. Only Senator Thomas improves upon the liryan idea by demanding international bimetalism, as against a lone hand by the United States. it is not likely that the Colorado senator will get any further with his bimetalism campaign now, than Col. Bryan did 24 years ago. True, there is a nebulous belief forming in the minds of many citizens that the recent rise in the price of silver proves the Commoner was right in 1SCK5. But the rise in silver proves no such thing; it only seems to do so on the surface. As a matter of fact, it might be shown that it proves just the opposite. There is nothing to pie- vent tne continued rise in tne price ot silver, or its tall, eith er; we should be continually at the mercy of the silver mine owners. Not that we are exempt at any time from the power of the gold mines, but it must be remembered that there is com parative stability in gold, while silver shows great instabil ity. A governmental decree that so much silver shall be worth so many dollars does not really maintain the actual worth of the silver. The only salvation for the decree seems to rest in its ultimate redemption by gold. New- international standards of exchange we probably must devise, but they are extremely unlikely to come along tne lines ot international bimetalism. HOT SCHOOL LUNCHES The board of education of New York City has gone into the lunch room business, and is now supplying noon meais tor cniidren in eight scnools of lower Manhattan During the past 10 years there have besn school lunches but these were conducted by a private committee of citizens and were largely philantropic. The committee decided that it had demonstrated both the necessity for and the practic ability of school lunches for the poorly nourished children of certain dsitricts. Ic therefore formally closed its work, and the board of education took it up. A typical menu includes vegetable soup, creamed lima beans, salmon sandwiches, rice custard, chocolate, corn starch pudding, etc., all at three cents a portion. A generous slice of bread costs one cent. Two good results are to be brought about by this ar rangement. In the first place, youngsters who need a nour ishing, hot meal at noon and who would not get it at home, are given the chance to have it at school. The promoters of the school lunch believe also that they can counteract some of the false notions of what a child may safely eat by provid ing suitable menus and thus educating both children and their parents in the palatableness of the simple, wholesome dishes. Andre Tardieu urges unity with us. But if some kind soul would get a little unity for us it would be more to the point. o "A college professor wants to signal Mars with a smoke screen.

Com . j Native Poetry A 4 THK DKATH OF A SM1I.K Itv (,uv Filrh I'helpH We mourn when friends must leave us, For parting brings us pain; But hope revives the spirit. For we may meet again. We sing our heroes fallen On many a bloody line. And round their dead brows ever ! Our laurel wreathes we twine. ' The martial tombs 'we build them f'aeh sacred thought endears; Where memory broods forever, And pity melts to tears. Yet who has time for Morrow When some sweet smile is dead? And who will speak the reason Why its bright beam is fled? Oh, there arc graveyards round us Which are not made in earth; Where lie forever buried The things of rarest werth. A child's laugh killed by hatred; A bride's joy quenched like mist; And pallid anguish haunting The lips which lovo once kissed. THae LamcLl of FVeftfty Soon. 1 know a land where the streets are paved With the things which we meant to achieve. It is walled with the money we meant to have saved And the pleasures for which we grieve. The kind words unspoken, the promise broken, And many a coveted boon Are towed away there in that land somewhere, The land of l'retty Soon. There are uncut Jewels of uissilitu fame Lying alaiut in the dust, And many a noblu and lofty aim Covered with mould and rust. And, oh! this pluee, while it seems so near, la further away than the moon; Though our purpose is fair, wo never get there, To the land of l'retty Soon. The road that leads to that myntir land Is strewn with pitiful wrecks, And the ships that have sailed fur its shining strand Hear skeletons on their decks. It is further at noon than it is at dawn, And further at night Uian at main. Oh, let us lieware of that land down there The land of l'retty Soon. -Kllu Wheeler Wilcox.
