If these charges are true, there is scmething “‘rotten in.Mineola.”: The dispatch with which Holt's remains were shipped out of New York state to his wife’s home fn Dallas, Texas, hints at underhand work. Even the inquest has the earmarks of a farce. As the days go by and moreis learned of Frank Holt's past life, es- pecially his actions within the last /six, months, it is easily seen hé must “ve been part of a great body of con- spirators. No individual depend- ing on the scant earnings of a college instructor could have planned and carried out what Holt accom- blished. . There must have been some- one paying his traveling expenses, someone buying the vast quantity of materials with which he worked, someofie footing the bills™ for the maintenance of his dual life.

During -the récent Elks’ Carnival a charming Chicago girl was visiting some of her cousins in New Britain. While here she was induced to take part in the festivities attendant upon the Elks’ bazaar and was given a place in the candy booth. A man of middle age was eventually led ‘that way by the "youndmp committee.” “They tell me I must: buy some candy” smiled the victim, picking up one-of thosekdainty blue boxes on dis- play. “How much is this?” “Five dellars,” answered the Cai- cago .girl, without any visible evi- dences of conscious pangs. “Um,” thoughtfully commented the vietim, glancing \from the candy to the girl, “Aren’t you a little dear?” ‘“Well,” coyly returned the maiden, “that’s what all the Elks say.”| Wilson, War and the People. (Indianapolis News.) There is in the country no more fer- vent lover of peace than Woodrow ‘Wilson. It is a fortunate thing for the nation that this is so. At such a time as this it would be a calamity to have in a high place any man tainted with jingoism. Yet it would be rnost un- fair to deny to the people as a whole the credit that is their due for the admirable moderation and poise that have marked their attitude. They, too, have shown—and quite as clear- 1y ‘as the president—that they do not want war. Under strains that have sometimes been sevete, they have seen beyond the grievances, from which | they' have suffered, to the awfyl con- sequences that might flow from hakty attempt to redress them. In short, the nation, as a whole, _has shown that its ejvilization is not a mere veneer, but'is, on the contrary, deeply ingrained in its life. Undoubtedly the president’s exam- He has discountenanced the extrem- ists, and at times has resisted consid- erable pressure.. But his task would have been much. harder had not the greéat masses of the people been with him from the very start.

(New York Evening Post). Arriving at the loss due to the war in terms of wealth will never be pos- sible. - A Cochin, South India. cor- respondent of the London Economist, Who has an analytical mind, gives rea- sons not frequently recognized. - If it ‘were possible, he observes, to obtaia a fairly accurate-figure for each of several factors and to multiply. the total of those factors by the average number of years which each of the slain would have lived, had it not been for the war, a reasonable estimate of the loss of wealth would be possible. Here are the factors he enumerates; each being made up of annual amounts due to: (1) Taxes paid by each man killed; (2) cost of support- ing those originally supported by him; (3) his buying power; (4) profit due on work dane by him; (5) his savings. If it were possihle to obtain a fairly accurate figure for each of these fac- tors, a reasonable calculation could be made of the enormous wastage of life which is going on -at the present moment in Europe. Autos For Rural Mai} . (South Norwalk Sentinel.) The all-conquering automobile now replacing the horse in the rural service. On July 1 the pioneer auto delivery started on two routes radiat- ing from Quarryville, Pa., Other mo- tor routes have been. planned, to be- gin next month. The postmaster gen- eral has already signed orders for more than 100 machines, to cover 3,- 000 miles of post routes. The service will be extended just as fast as the department's resources and the condition of the highways | permits. Of these two considerations the latter is the more important. It is a comparatively simple matter for the government to replace the /present boxlike rural wagons with . aute- mobiles. The original cost is little more than the cost of horses and wa- gons. Their operation is no more ex- pensive, and their efficiency is fari greater. Horses, however, have the ad- vantage of being able to getthrough any sort of roads if they have - to, | while' the motor cars, though they are | faster and can cover far more ground in a day, cannot take chances on the roads that are not kept in good condl- tion the year round. The adoption | of autos for the country service will | tHerefore be another powerful incen- ! tive to further the good roads move- ment. Farmers almost everywhere should be willing to ake the improve- ments necessary to gain such postal facilities, especially since better high- ways will amply repay thelr cost in other ways. is Long School Vacations. (Waterbury Democrat.) All over .the country colleges are thronged with students for summer courses, business schools are running about as usual, music pupils are | studying music and private educa- tional institutions of ‘ all kinds are continuing their work. And' all over the country the public schools are closed for three or four months, great and costly educational plants are lying unproductive, the contin- uous progress of instruction is inter- rupted ‘and millions of children are left ‘in compulsory idleness to roam the streets or burden their distracted parents. The long summer vaca- tion is rational enough in the coun- try, where boys and girls have to help with the farm chores in the summer. In pioneer times nearly all | school children had such <duties. But that is not a sufficlent reason for turning present-day children out of school for a quarter of a year in the | cities. ~Few of them need so long a‘rest. Most of them develop | into a temporary nuisance to their | families and community, learning: of the past year fades from their memories and the power of mental #pplication ebbs away. A month’s’ summer vacation would probably be far better city schools. for In War Times. (Bridgeport Standard.) Continual reading about' war and its resultant suffering and ~death| tends to produce a condition of nei- | vous stralin, subdued ,perhaps, but none ‘the less real. In particularly | susceptible people this condition moves to much unwise speech and sometimes to still more unwise ac- tion. There are always cranks and fanatics abroad in the land who have in themselves the posisbilities of a Wilkes Booth or a Charles Guiteau | and who are ready to act along the | line of criminal suggestion whenever they have been sufficienty wrought up | by the dominant excitement of the hour. The attempt to wreck a portion.of the Capitol at Washington and the shooting of J. P. Morgan are acts of this character and were performed by a man upon whom the suggestions of | the war appear to have had a pow- ! erfu] ‘effect. There undoubtedly are | others like him in the insane zeal that | makes it appear to them that the | cause of“peace can be advanced by acts of criminal violence. humble | !

Of course, it is in order fér the opponents of the Civie Federation’s findings to attack the facts, but for the present their review of so large a body of.statistics must be viewed as more or less decisive. If, as has been suggested, the committee has caught up with and nailed an un- truth, it will be interesting to see how much longer the untruth will continue to circulate. PUEDR o oL | Who Got 1t? (New Haven Register.) Atlantic City is becoming as a pop- ular resort one of the greatest in the country, mnvaling even those in thc neighborhood of New York. Atlantic City, therefore, prepared for a har- vest of the people’s money last Mon- day. Atlantic City got. instéad, a coid ath—which doubtless it needed. But Atlantic City still insists that it neea- ed the money more, So serious’it is in that opinion that it has been estimat- ing its losses, and finds the total of the money it didn’t get to be probably a ‘quarter of ‘a million Holldrs.” That is something of a loss for a few hours on a holiday morning. Sometimes money lost is just lost. Seemingly it is as good as burned. But here is a case where it simply wasn't spént. Tt remained, presumably, in the people’s pockets. ut - where is it now? Who got 1t? Is the omis- sion to spend it any victory for con- servation? It used to be accepted al- most as an axiom tat “a penny saved is a penny earned.” But this was not conscious saving. Those who kept their money on Monday mroning grumbled more than those who didn’t get it, but it didn’'t hurt them in just the same place. Probably. -they weren’t happy until they found some other way to spend it. Perhaps, even they spent it in fireworwks and dld their best to blow their own or some- body’s heads off. t “A fool and his money are soon parted.”” On this great truth are founded many shoré amusement fea- tures. ‘It would be too 'harsh to say that most oftht money gathered at resorts of this sort is the fruit of this partition, But at least it is true in are no more unhappy persons than those in whom the parting is frustrated. Shaw and England. (New Haven Union.) Bernard Shaw writes to friends in America that he has written his last play because he feels that he never can hope to write a play - which the British will be willing to see. Since his publication of ‘“Common Sense About the War”” he has been persona non grata in his native land. As a matter of fact his war discussion struck readers here about as it did in England, that is, as being common nonsense, rather than a common sense discussion of war issues. But Eng- land is excited now. England has dropped art for war. Most Euro- pean scholars have beén swept off their feet by the rush. Shaw was one who lost his balance in the excite- ment. Whether of not he can write an- other play which the PBritish public will care to see rests entirely with Shaw. When the war is over the critics, the theatergoers, the general public will turn to art again, Person- ally the British may never have as kindly feeling for Shaw as perhaps he will deserve. But when the heat of | discussion is past they will drop per- sonalities in art and look at the man's work, not at the man. If Shaw can then turn out plays equalling in art an originality his former works, they will find an audience. They will find audiences .in New York and Berlin, most - assuredly. Paris and London for his sensational and illogical non- sense about the European struggle. The Patriotism of the French. (Waterbury Republican). France was able to boast, just be- fore the war, of béing the thriftiest owing to the, fact that her people had been carefully stor- ing them instead of extravagantly spending them. - Every: walk of life was pointed to as being: represented in the lists of savings bank depesi- Today the benefits of such thrift are seeén in the splendid res- cue of the government from danger of financial difficulty by the people of the repyblic. In response to the call they were eagdr and prompt to | exchange their hoarded geold for the securities affarded by the govérnment. Here is evidence which seems to be attributable largely to social and industrial conditions which have aris- -en in the country since the creation of the present republic. There were other days in France, and not beyond | the saloonkeeper 'said to be making the most creditable showing .on land Whethér, in the Western . theater, or in-the Dardan- | elies, the French have won the high- est pralse from théir English allies. The French at home also are eager to prove that they lack none of that deép.rooted patriotism which has in- spired the men- at ‘the front to such Notable efforts in every engagement. 4 Mr. Bryan's Latest. (New London Day.) " Mr’ Bryan is aviating. He has bor- rowed the wings of his favorite bird and taken a flight into 'perfectly new atmosphere. He has shelved his peace Plan for the moment and is going te reform the newspaper shops—all ex- Cept the weekly newspaper shops Where the editor is owner; in other - words, the Commoner class.

It is al- most 'as great a scheme as his plan to being about peace by asking the bel- ligerents to draw up their demands in writing and submit them to him. Perhaps next week Mr. Bryan will have another new scheme, possibly for the creation of a national board of newspaper censorship with its head- quarters in Lincoln. Trials of the Great.

FEW JOBS LOST BY CLOSING SALOONS Charles Stelzle Refutes Saloon Keep- ers Who Contend To Shut Up Cafes Would Hurt Workingmen. Atlantic " City,’ 3, duly’ 9.—“Will the Workingman Lose His Job. an His: Peérsonal Liberty: If .the Saloo: are Closed ?" . was the. subjéct discus- sed by. Charles Stelzle, sociologist and author, of Néw York, ‘beforé the Con- vention of the Anti-Saloon League of America today. “The workingman fears being out of work more than he does going Lo hell,” he said. ‘'‘He knows that it means to walk the streets looking’ for a jab. The liquor intérests have capi- talized upon this fear and by pres- enting a staggering array of figures which ‘seem to proye that calamity will follow the abolition of the liquor traffic, they have persuaded iarge numbers of workingmen who never enter a saloon to vote for its reten- tion. “But the argument that the work- ingman will lose his job if the liquor traffic is abolished is based upon the absurd proposition that if the liquor dealer fails to get the money now spent for beer and whiskey nobody else will get it. “It is assumed that the farmer who now sells his grain and grapes, his apples and cherries to the liquor in- terests will be compeiled to destroy them: when the fact is that figures turnished by the United States gov- ernment clearly indicate that the abi!- ity of the Amierican farmer te raise grain to adequately supply this coun- try is gradually decreasing. “Neither will the railroad man suf- fer. Only about 2 per cent. of his freight business is furnished by the liquor industry. He will get as much business, and as much money for the transfer of a given amount of grain, whether that, grain is shipped to a brewer or a baker. As for the trans- portation of the furnished product, das well as the raw materials which the liquor industry now furnishes, there is no doubt that other industries will benefit from the transfer of trade from liquor to some other com- modity. “More workingmen lose their jobs because saloons are open than would be the case were the saloons to he closed. As some one has said, ‘When liquor puts a man out of a_ job it makes him a wealth-producing work- ingman, instead of & wealth-destroy- ing working man. It is better that should lose his job and get a better one than that dozenz | of his patrons should lose their jobs and be unfitted for any job.” ASKS U. S. TO STATE POSITION.
