BRAZIL’S CENTENNIAL When Secretary of State i Hughes .assists in the formal opening on September 7 of the World’s Fair in Rio dc Janicro, the occasion will mark the cen tennial of Brazil's existence as a nation. The parallel with otir own cele-: brition in Philadelphia in 18* comes instantly to mind. Now the Philadelphians are talking' about another observance in or one .hundred and fifty years • from the signing of the Declara-i tion of Independence. Malta Americans probably are unaware that Brazil, although in dependent for a century, has beer a republic for only a generation The story of her struggle for free dom is a fascinating one. linking as it does the medieval and the modern, the civilization of cast anil west. When the Napolenoic hordes swept over Portugal, the capital was hurriedly removed from I.is bon across the Atlantic to Rio. For the first and only time in bis tory, a European country was governed from America. But with the end of tbe troublom times in the mother country, un rest in Brazil broke out. The crown prince, Pedro, was in Rio. lie was the center of a revolution, which was a complete success. It was on September 7, 1822. that Don Pedro proclaimed him self as emperor of Brazil at San Paulo. His reign was full of strife. On the death of bis father he found it necessary to renounce the throne of Portugal in favor of his sister, and only a few years later he abdicated that of Brazil to his son. then only five Year* old. Don Pedro, the Second, the son. had a longer and happier reign. But in the end he. too. became obnoxious, and a republic, which has endured to this dav, was es tablished. ON COMING BACK Ihe little bov who kept hit ting his head with a hammer ex plained on inquiry that he did it because he felt so good when he stopped. This youngster evi % „ .drntlv had the true philosophv of the average. vacationist. About once a year wc get a yearning to go away from wher ever wc are. to he different, to! get away from our chosen path of life: and after much prepara tion and worry about where and how and when to go. we make the break and are gone. And we are only away a little while when we berin to get rest less : we have a new yearning. ! 1 his time it is to get hack, hack ; to the comfortable routine of thej: years, hack to the cozy bed with' just the right size pillow, back' ( to the easy chair of the front I porch, hack to the little nook in,- the scheme of things as thee are’.p away from the half-cooked yet j burnt food of .the woods, awav i from the mosquitoes of the sum-! mer cottage, away from the con- ji gestion of the beach resorts. W e have a feeling, somehow or . other, away down deep in the dim recesses of our soul that it’s not the going away that helps so' much: it’s the coming back. A BARREN CAREER The campaign of Senatoi , • Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa chusetts for re-election draws at tention to the fact that he has been in congress for practically* thirty-six years, and it is scarcely a flattering commentary on him that his many years in the na- j tional life of the country have brought him a reputation only as l a political partisan, without •>}] single constructive act to his i credit that the pepole can recall. ! Before the appearance of Woodrow Wilson upon the na- ; tional stage Lodge had a certain vogue in Republican circles as “the scholar in politics. it wash looked upon as his special mis-{ sion to guard Republican national platforms against split infinitives. But it sands out that while, the G. O. P, would humor Lodge by making him chairman of its na tional Conventions, it never could see him for the presidency or for ! secretary of state. He came to the position of leadership of the Republican* in the senate by the seniority route, but one of the complaints against him is that while he could lead in the sing ing of a hymn of hate against Wilson he had been found whot -Ily lacking when it comes to in spiring action of a constructive ! nature. In the “Mirrors of Washing ton” it is asserted that Lodge’s long period in congress *“can be summed up in three achievements —the Force Bill, the attempt to wreck England by driving her to silver coinage and the part he took in defeating the “Versailles) treaty of peace with Germany. The Force Bill and the silver amendment his biographers have I charitably forgotten; will the fu ture biographer deal as gently with the closing years of his life.'’ And if so, what material will the biographer have?” Two Shop Guards Killed AUGUSTA.
