A war rumor is to the effect the Spain has been offered Gibraltar by th Germans as a bribe if she will join wit them against the Allies. We have a idea that Gibraltar will be about as har to wrest from Britain as is the Darda uells from Turkey, and which the Allie are about to give up as an impossibly task. A great fuss has been raised becaus six petty officers of the two Germar ships interned at Norfolk have mad( their escape. Let them stay escaped Germany needs them more than we do. And if a lot more of these. hyphenated gents would take it into their heads to escape, this country could get along very well without them. White House weddings seem to be epidemtc. Along with the president's marriage. Miss Margaret Wilson, the eldest daughter, it is announced, will be married on the same date as her father -a double wedding, perhaps.

We understand that able law yers say there is no law to punish th( man. It does look like that among the multitude of laws with which legisla tures have afilicted the people there would be a law to punsh a man wh( would commit so diabolical act as tc ruin the life of a girl like this. A lawyer in New York named Esta brook condemns President Wilson, W..J. Hrvan and Senator La* ollette for their various governmental policies. If he could have thought of anyone elso tc roast he would probably have mentioned them. Mr. Estabrook is described in the pacers as what some people term a "ack-leg" lawyer. That's where most of the criticism of the three biggest and most piatriotic men of the present times comes from-jack-leg lawyers, jack-leg editors and othe? jack-legs too numerous to mention. We will have no such picayunish wa ger as Bro. Hiott of The Picken Senti nel desires. Our proposition is this: If Clemson- wins, we engage to go down on all fours and let H-on.
