FRANCE ON TRIAL
The French republic standing alone
tbiODg the great powers of Europe in
Its form of government, is still oo trial
aa Great Britain is not, or Germany.
France must "make good" as an
efficient administrated state, able and
ready to maintain order within its
borders and to conduct Its foreign
affairs with discretion and equity.
That, in leed, may fairlv be demanded
of every nation. Theories of govern
meat are nothing if there is lack ut
business effectiveness. A state which :
breaks down in the practical work of
government can nevei be redeemed by
It* tint profe-slons and high aspira
t:Ou?.
The French republic was saved at It- 1
very birth by the grim efficienc;'
which it displayed in putting down th<
Commune It escaped disaster when
Boulan&er gathered his fanatic follow
ing by the businesslike force mani
fested by I:* central government. F.f
flciency was the salvation of France,
in the crisis of the Dreyfus conspiracy
Hitherto the republic ha^ justified its
own existence. In every severe :est, b>
rising to th? needs of the occasion. It
has not ceased to cherish ideals but
neither has it faile.l to meet the
practical necessities of national ex- j
existence.
The outbreak among the wine-grow
ers of the Mediterranean coast is a
serious affair, in every sense. It has
uncovered widespread unrest and
mutinous disloyalty among the regi
ments recruited in that section of
France. It has aioused deep sympathy
io other parts of the country because
the '?ineyarJ owners are clamoting
against the government's supine toler
ation of frauds which cheat consumers
of wine as well as growers of grapes.
It reveals dangerous dissatisfaction
among a rural population which has
been considered entirely docile and
submissive.
Io the face of thii outbreak ^France
must first enforce order and establish
the supremacy of the la*vs and the j
legally constituted civil authorities.
Then the wine growers must be reliev
ed of the burden of gross injustice
whiob they find Intolerable. No gov
ment can afford to have its people turn
against oo it the ground thu the state
refuses to punish cheating in food and
permits a few swindlers to prey upon
the vast majority of their countrymen
Tte foreign immigration to the
United States in 1906 is now officially
stated to have been 1,00 ?35.

"Going to the Dogs."
l he phrase "going to the dogs" has
puzzled tbe explainers of metaphorical
expressions ratner needlessly. It has
even been suggested tbat it Is a pro
fane perversion of "going to the gods."
and an allusion has been detected to
"cauis," the dog throw, tbe worst
throw with the dice among the nnclent
Romans. Shakespeare's "Throw physic
b> the dogs" and the Scriptural "Give
not that which Is holy unto tbe dogs"
have been quoted In connection with
tbe expression. But It seems a fairl*
obvious reference -to the fate of the I
wornout horse, condemned to be
slaughtered. The old Greek curse, "(Jo
to the crows!" may be compared, re
ferrlng as It did to the Greek's horror
of having his body left unburled as
food for carrion birds.? London Spec

Kentnrky'i Name.
Kentucky Is known as the Corn
Cracker State from u game bird en
Joying the same name which was for
merly found In great abundance In
most parts of the state. It is also
called the Blue Grass State, from the
belt of land naming through the ceti

grows to great perfection. Iu the early
days of our history It was known as
the Dark and Bloody Ground, belu?
so termed by the Indians. It was then
a debatable laud between the Indian!
living north of the Ohio and thos?

and Georgia, a sort of battleground
