BOSTON, MASS. The Hughes Start. The Hughes campaign was slow on its start. Republican machinery was rusty and Hughes machinery was rusty. The party had lost the habit of victory and Hughes had lost the habit of politics.

That the Republican campaign should swing immediately into the steady hum of full speed was impossible. Now the start has been made. Mr. Hughes' voice was strange at the notification meeting in New York, and it was strange again at Detroit yesterday We shall know it better within the week, and before the long journeyers across the country is finished voice should be ringing in the ears of every voter in the land The Hughes campaign must gather momentum from day to day in the middle West, for it is there that the heavy work is to be done. Americanism and preparedness are the issues of doubt in the dozen middle states, where the conception of nationality has grown sluggish and where the, echoes of the present war are only a rumble.

Mr. Hughes' success depends upon the middle West. When he returns East a month hence we shall know more about the Hughes campaign. Normally, this would be a strong Republican year, what with the return of the Progressive and the fact that the Republican party's traditional principles are more than ever necessary. Conditions have grown more nearly normal, surely, with the events of the last two months.

But there is still the European war, and still a persistent misconception of its significance in the affairs of America. To a large number of citizens our only relation to the war is the agility with which we keep out of it. Ameri- can ideals are submerged in contemplation of a fortunate peace. Nor is it to be assumed that all those smug citizens are Democrats. Mr.

Hughes is talking to people who are wrapped in the bleary submissiveness of the Wilson administration. His train rolls Chautauqua through a ranting section and fertilized, with pa- cifism. Verily Mr. Hughes must run for president; there will be no walk-over, out Journal. How One Woman's Protest Stopped Indecent Film.

In the August Woman's Home Companion is the following letter in which a Los Angeles woman says: "I want to relate a little experience I had in a motion picture theatre in this city as an evidence of what one woman alone can I saw a very good program. To finish the program, however, the management presented a so-called slap-stick comedy. It was more than slap-stick; worse than vulgar; it was just plain, common dirty. I went out and called the chief of police, who sent an officer to see the picture, with the result that it was removed from the program. I happen to know, also, that the theatre, which is one of the best in the city, dropped the productions of that particular company from its programs as a result of my single protest." Switzerland and Prisoners of War.

The good work already accomplished, and still being carried on by Switzerland, in the way of. mitigating, as far as possible, for her neighbors some of the hardships of war, has frequently been a matter of grateful comment. In spite of her own difficulties, they have been by no means few, Switzerland has seized every opportunity for helpfulness in this connection. Through the mediation of the Swiss federal post, millions of letters, postal orders and packages have been forwarded to French prisonof war in Germany and German prisoners of war in France; to AustroHungarian prisoners of war in Russia and to Russian prisoners of war in Austria-Hungary. Then again, refugees of all belligerent countries, seeking shelter in Switzerland, have been helped in every way possible; whilst large quantities of comforts have been widely distributed.

The latest exhibition of goodwill is afforded by the reception and treatment of British and French prisoners of war, recently interned in Switzerland. The Swiss have been, from time to time, described as greatly divided in their sympathies in regard to the war, but, however this may be, it has in no way affected their desire to help or its impartiality. British minister at Berne, Sir Evelyn Grant Duff, in a recent dispatch on the subject declared that the reception accorded the war prisoners at Zurich was no less enthusiastic than in French Switzerland. As a matter of fact from, the very first, the Swiss have set themselves a high ideal in the matter, and the attitude of the country as a whole was well summed up by M. Hoffman, a federal counselor, who declared, recently, that Switzerland ought to regard the question of helping prisoners of war light of her duty to humanity.

Seeming serious difficulties that might be met with ought not to cause her to forget the nobility her mission. Switzerland is now, of course, entirely surrounded by belligerents. At the beginning of the war the rush into her territory, from all sides, of refugees was almost overwhelming; but everything that could be done to facilitate their journey home was done. Now, after the refugees have been disposed of, organizations completed for dealing with prisoners' letters, and bureaux established for distributing comforts, come the prisoners of war, and Switzerland sets about her with a will to do all possible to help in this new direction. The little republie is certainly earning for herself golden opinions, and the gratitude not only of belligerent countries, but of all coun-Christian Science Monitor.

H. P. McCain of the war department that Norwich students and graduates who wish to do so should enter the competitive examinations for appointment as second lieutenants in the regular army. There are 1,500 vacancies now existing in the grade of second lieutenant; and graduates of and tary Virginia colleges Military Norwich institute university greatly needed.

21. Several Norwich men have already signified their intention of taking them. Norwich has already given one second lieutenant to the army this year. Cadet Capt. Ryder was made honor graduate of the class of 1916 and awarded a commission without examinations.

This was possible on account of the fact that Norwich was again designated as "Distinguished" by the war department. Norwich has held this classification ever since it was first created by the war department in 1904, being one of the colleges to do this. Colleges of this classifi-1 cation (the highest given by the war de-! partment) are privileged to name one honor graduate each year, who is given a commission as second lieutenant in the regular army without examination whenever there is a vacancy.

"Sweet Will Shakespeare's" induence is still with us, and many of the phrases which he used have become part of our language. Among these phrases are: "Bag and baggage," "dead as a doornall," "hit or miss," "love is blind," "selling for a song," "wide world," "fast and loose." "unconsidered trifles," "westward ho!" "familiarity breeds contempt," "patching up excuses," "misery makes strange bedfellows," "to boot," "short and long of it," "dancing attendance," "getting even," "birds of a feather," "Greek to me," "that's flat."

In a Japanese School. In "A Wanderer's Trail" A. L. Rodger, the author, says: "In Tokyo I gained my living as an English teacher. This task of teachIng English in Japan is not a very difficult one.

It is, however, a rather tiring occupation. The one qualification necessary is tact. Discipline in Japanese schools is very lax. It is no exuggeration to say that the student virtually rules the school. His power is ridiculously great.

Should a class dislike a teacher they either boycott him or they boldly proceed en masse to the school authorities and demand his dismissal. And the almost inevitable result is the teacher's dismissal! To the authorities the only guaranty of the efficiency of a teacher is a full classroom. Needless to mention, I was an efficient, for my class room was always full. That is why I say the only qualification needed was tact." Wonderful Linen Breeches. A.

O. Bunnell of Dansville has in his possession a petition which was circulated in his village in 1878 and signed by well known people, remarks, the Utica Press. The petition appeals to a prominent citizen to wear his linen breeches. It seems that this gentleman bad a pair of linen breeches, and every time be wore them rain fell. In 1878 there was 8 long continued drought in Dansville and thereabouts.

and the citizens decided to appeal to Matthew McCartney to wear his linen breeches "In order that the parched up earth, low streams, dry wells and cisterns may be replenished with a bountiful supply of water." Mr. McCartney graciously consented to don his linen breeches, and on the original paper in Mr. Bunnell's possession is this indorsement: "Rain commenced falling the same night." Saluting the Quarter Decks. In response to an inquiry as to why officers and men of the navy "salute the deck" and civilians remove their hats when going aboard a naval vessel it may be said that, though commonly called a "salute to the deck," the salute in question is really a salute to the flag. For instance, at night on reaching the quarter deck or upon leaving it no salute is required, as the flag is, of course, not flying.

The fact that this salute is rendered upon reaching the quarter deck from below or when coming on board and upon leaving the quarter deck. as when leaving the ship, is probably responsible for its having been known as a salute to the deck; but, as has been stated, it is really a salute to the flag. Men should when rendering it stop, stand erect and face the Press. Stevenson's Cheerfulness. "I shall never forget Mr.

Stevenson." said a captain who commanded a ship which Robert Louis Stevenson sailed." "The ship had broken her shaft and was delayed. He cheered everybody up by telling funny stories that were better coming offhand from his lips than most literary men could write if they worked over them for weeks. He knew, too, that it was only a question of a short time before he would die of consumption and that he could never again go home for more than a brief visit. It was simply wonderful what a difference that one man made among the passengers, and I guess: almost all of us would gladly spend the time to make port under sail, with machinery disabled, if we could have a Stevenson aboard." Spurgeon was Noncommittal. The Rev.

W. Williams, in his "Per- sonal Reminiscences of C. H. Spurgeon," tells an anecdote concerning the great preacher as a smoker. Some gentleman wrote to Mr.

Spurgeon, saying: "He had heard he smoked and could not believe it was true. Would Mr. Spurgeon write and tell if it really WAS So The reply was sent as follows: "Dear I cultivate my flowers and burn my weeds. Yours truly, C. H.

Spurgeon." England's First Scientist. The first great English scientist was Roger Bacon, who died in 1294. The exact date of his birth is unknown, but it is believed that this year marks the seven hundredth anniversary. He was persecuted and condemned and much of his work destroyed, so that the tent of his discoveries cannot be definitely known. It is certain that he was centuries ahead of his ignorant and credulous times in chemistry, mechanics and mathematics.

Branded as a magician, he was thrown into prison. From 1277 until a short time before his death Bacon was immured in a filthy cell. He is said to have invented the camera obscura, the air pump and the diving bell, and he was acquainted with the uses of optical lenses and the nature of gunpowder, although the projectile power of gunpowder appears not to have been discovered until the following century. It is said that during a war Bacon set fire to the chief buildings in a town by using burning lenses.
