NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 28, 1915.
Although the axiomatic phrase “The
average Britisher loves a Lord” has
Jong been accepted as a maxim with re-j
sped to the Knglish fondness for!
titles, a recent development in tliei
House of Commons suggests that there
is strong hope that the British are fast
approaching tlie day when such petty
human garnishments as hereditary
titles will be looked upon as a hind
rance to the individual ratiier than a
mark of honor. This somewhat as
tonishing development is indicated not
only in a growing disregard of the pre
rogatives of titled individuals on the
part of the socalled “lower classes,"
whose failure to observe the conven
tions with respect to the sanctity sup
posed to surround the wearer of a title,
has so shocked the middle and upper
class during the past few years, but is
also still clearer disclosed by the fact
that a Mr.Ponsonby, Liberal member
from Stirling Burghs, and who, ac
cording to a lending Toronto paper,
was "himself cradled In the atmosphere
of the Court”, very gravely, as was
doubtless natural in (lie face of such
astounding termity, introduced a Hill
into the House of Commons to abolish
hereditary titles in (Treat Britain. In
support of his measure Mr. Ponsonby’
produced a combination of arguments
based upon the extremely logical
ground that titles were more or less
of a detriment to the Individual and
wore also the Incentive for a most dis
guesting toadyism on the part of the
masses generally. How the rank and
file of this sedate legislative body man
aged to survive the shock of such
blasphemy is passing strange but that
they’ listened in silence to the further
statements of Mr. Ponsonby relating
that titles only’ accentuated undesirable
class distinctions and yvere the main
cause of what ho termed ‘the unfath
omable snobbishness, sycophancy’ and
flunkeyium of British social life,” is al
most incomprehensible. After delivering
himself of further unsanctifled remarks
along the same ljnes, the speaker then
proceeded to point out where the title n

rearer himself was the hopeless victim
if circumstances which permitted of no
levlatton from an accepted order of
hlngs which were far from conducive
io (he best interests of the individual.
A title was really a chain binding the
wearer to a certain fixed course of ex
istence and permitting of little Individ
ual expression. Most men were quite
freet o choose their own profession or
occupation. There was only one man
who was not so free and that was the
eldest son of a peer for whom there
was no outlook In life, but to become a
peer himself. This state of affairs. Mr.
Ponsonby submitted, was anything hut
desirable as the custom of the day or
dained that the average title hearer
dare not attempt to he anything but a
peer without risking a loss of caste
Tliis was not only hard on the Indi
vidual in a social sense but also re
sulted In stifling the host of his in
herent qualities. From the standpoint
of the national welfare there was noth
ing so undesirable as the herhlitary
principle as applied to legislation, said
Mr. Ponsonby, and be was sure that his
colleagues were all agreed that the
system of-maintaining n body of here
ditary legislators was anything hut
conducive to the best interests of the
empire, and therefore it was surely de
sirable that the peer title should he al
lowed to lapse. Mr. Ponsonby and his
hearers both survived and his memor
able document passed the first reading,
all of which indicates conclusively
that Fngland is commencing to see the
tight.
HARVEY AND THE BLOOD.
It was while studying at Padua un
der a professor who had discovered
the valves in the veins that Harvey
discovered the circulation of the blood.
I He was curious to know what these
I valves were fur. and, finding that they
all pointed in the same direction, he
could think of no reason for their ex
istence unless it might he to prevent
the Wood from flowing backward.
Placing a ligature on his arm, he
found that one yet of vessels, the ar
teries. became distended with blood on
the side nearest to the heart, while
the vein a became distended with blood
nn the s'de farthest from the heart.
This to him meant only that the blood
flowed from the heart through the nr
:cries and hark to the heart through
he veins. It also explained the beat
nr of the heart and the throhhlng of
he pulse.
Hut the medical nnd surgical world
-ceoived this epoch making discovery
with scorn. Harvey published a book
in his discovery, nnd bis practice fell
iff considerably. Doctors scoffed, and
the public looked on him as a crank.
It was a quarter of a century after
the bonk appeared before the discovery
was accepted by the learned men of
the world.

THE LEX TALONIS.
This is the Lex Talonis
Decreed by Him on high
That he who smites, shall bo smitten,
That he who slays- shall die;
That a limb for a limb shall be given.
That an eye shall pay for an eye.
This is the Lex Talonis
This is the ancient law:
To which is the law of the Persian,
And the Median plot and straw;
And the guilty are sorely troubled,
And the innocent stand in awe.
Harken, ye tribes and nations,
This is the law of the breed:
That he who strikes shall be stricken,
That he who wounds shall bleed:
Let not my words be wasted,
But him that hears give heed.
This is the Lex Talonis
The rigid, the primal law:
The source whence those who have suf
fered,
Their Inspirations draw,
And measure the retribution
While the wrong is red and raw.
Creedists and priests may wrangle
And scoffists doubt or disdain;
But the truth itself has discovered
Over and over again:
The scoffer is kin to the slayer,
And the slayer is heir to Cain.
This is the law of Talonis.
Long as the tides shall flow:
Will word for word be given,
And blow respond to blow:
For iron sharpeneth iron.
As it did in the long ago.
Grimly it fronts the creature,
Written in red it stands:
Linking the past and the present,
With strange invisible strands;
And wise is he who heeds it,
A ad fully understands.
Churches and state may wrangle,
Laymen and priests dispute:
But deep in the heart of the creature,
The sense of right has root:
And wrong in its proper season.
Will bear its final fruit.
This is the Lex Talonis

Hear it who will and may;

Unaltered it stands today;
For the curse, like the crime is cruel,
And blood for blood must pay.

VICTOR HUGO’S VISION.
A day comes when you, France—
you, Russia—you, Itnly—you, England
-you, Germany—all you nations of the
continent shall without losing your dis
tinctive qualities and your glorious In
dividuality blend In a higher unity and
form a European fraternity, ns Nor
mandy, Brittany, Burgundy, Lorraine,
Alsace, all the French provinces,
blended into France. A day will come
when war shall seem as Impossible be
tween I’aris and London, between Pet
rograd and Berlin, as between Rouen
and Amiens, ns between Boston and
Philadelphia.
A day will come when bullets and
bomb shall be replaced by ballots, by
the. universal suffrage of the people, by
the sacred arbitrament of a great sov
ereign senate, which shall be to Europe
what the parliament Is to England, the
diet to Germany, the legislative assem
bly to France. A day will come when
a cannon shall be exhibited in our mu
seums as an Instrument of torture is
now and men shall mar%’el that such
things could be.
A day wtll come when we shall see
those two immense groups, the United
•States of America and the United
States of Europe, in face of each other
extending hand to hand over the
ocean, exchanging their products, their
commerce, their Industry, their art;
their genius clearing the earth, coloniz
ing deserts and ameliorating creation.
To you T appeal, French, English.
Germans, Slavs, Russians. .Europeans,
Americans, what have We to do to has
ten the coming of the great day?
Love one another.
