Whean she went to her office a few days 2go Mrs. Youns found a thick en- velope in her pile of mail. In it was a blue, paper-covered book | “Ring Battles of Centuries.” Young was puzzled. She could understand what connection the recting of a public school systern might have with dissertations of the fine art of uppercutting and science of swats. She turned the cover over and found this inscription. “With kindest regards to the world's greatest woman, from tling Nelson.” | Perusal of the book disclosed a chapter had been written by Battler himself. it account of how he had “biffed” way to immortality and the place in Hegewisch citizenry.

In Belgium, along the western border of Russia and the northern border of France, in Galicia and Servia whole families have beon Wibed out of existence, on the battle lines 2ll the male members of some families of all the warring nations have been killed. The result is that in many of thesc ©s estates must 80 to distant relatives According to the last United States census our foreign-born population is 13.6 per cent. of the total population; the population born of foreign or mixed parentage is still larger, being 23.1 per cent. of the total. There are comparatively few families in thi great bulk of our inhabitants but have suffered by the death of some relative or, perhaps, relatives in the present war. It is with the children of foreign or mixed parentage that the report is especially concerned. The registrar | says that “because no registration was made at the time of birth we were un- able to produce records definitely os- tablishing the person’s identity.” He expresses a doubt that if in the past more than eighty or eighty-five per cent. of the births in Kansas were re- ported to the state. ‘This means that 4,600 of the children born in the state are not accounted for.” Such a condition is by confined to Kansas. stringent laws with the heavy fines to which physicians are amenable for neglect, very many of the states, especially in the west, have almoest useless vital statistics.

Owners of con- veyances immedately boosted pric to the inrdignationof persons withecut storm apparel. Suddenly a handsomely woman darted from the crowd on a picr and sprinted across the Board- walk into a bathhouse. Ten minutes later she came out in a bathing suit. She had checked her evening attire for the night and calmly walked down the esplanade and let it rain. Others took the cile, and in an hour the Boardwalk looked like a bathing party, hundreds of fashionable per. sons checking their evening attire ing walking to their cottages or hotels in surf garb.

Victor Berger, socialist and former j congressman and editor of the M waukee leader, advocated, in his newspaper, when the war broke out { in Europe, a ruling against shij- ments of munitions from the United States but he was strenuously op posed by the Germania Herold ana the Freie Press, which at that time, believed that Germany might obtain war supplies from the United States.

That shipment ot $50,000,000 gold from Canada to New York was carefully guarded, as is shown by the fact that although tile express company did allow it to go over { New Haven road tracks from Boston | to Springfield, it was sent on a detour over the Boston and Albany rather than let it come past the Yellow | Building where the directors of the | New Haven road have their den.

Indictments charging manslaughter and criminal carelessness, have been brought against the captain and en- eer of the Eastland and four office oi the St. Joseph-Chicago Steamship Ce, Gradually the investigations seem to be bearing fruit. If all the accused are brought to trial and punished in- stead of heaping all the sins on the ack of the scapegoat and sending kim out to bear the whole burden, it may be felt that the deaihs of those who went down with the Eastland Were not in vain. Secretary Redfield’s new rulings re- sarding the inspection of passenger vessels show that the wnolesale cri- ticism to which he was subjected, finally got under his skin to the point that he felt he must do something radical to reinstate himself in the public mind At the pres writing it looks as if something really tangible would result from the universal demand that the Eastland victims be avenzed and that steps be taken prevent a re- petition of the disas nt Automobile Use.

Mr. Dauglass' story is that Dr. McKelway, who was noted for his opulent and descriptive vocabulary, put up the term one night over a telegram from Washington announcing that the ad- | ministration had sent a number of northern republicans into the South, and that Manton Marble then editor | of the World, upon seeing the proof, | requested Dr. McKelway to write an editorial on the subject.

The originator, however, old Capt. Parr, a Gloucester county ‘“guineaman” member of the black and tan, Underwood constitu- tional convention, which as to its ma- Jjority was a hideous and consclience- less conglomeration of aliens, scalla- wags and Negroes. Capt. Parr was one of the quaint- est characters that ever figured in politics, and in a way commanded a vocabulary as opulent and descriptive as that of Dr. McKelway. Ir one of his speeches he illustrated repub- lican manipulation of the Negro with a toy he drew from his pocket. The toy consisted of a little darkey on a spring board that danced a §ix step every time the board was tap- ped with the finger. In another he solemnly warned the cnonvention against the fellow that ‘“sneaked” down here with nothing but a black carpet bag, for he said, there was | “a snake in that bag;” and it was that speech which started the use of the phrase in the newspapers. The late Dr. Joseph Brock, con- vention reporter for the Enquirer and Richmond correspondent for sev- eral outside papers, was quick to catch the suggestion. Thereafter, m\ many of his reports, he differentiated | the members by attaching to their names, respectively ,the letters “C. B. | M.,” and “W." That Is | | to say, he designated them severa! | as “carpet-bag men” (aliens), scalla- wags (renegrade Virginians), Ne- groes and hites,” loyal Vi | 8inians, | = | Duty Vs. Sentimentality. (New London Telegraph.) Generul Wood made a point at Plattsburgh that deserves universal recognition. He said there is no such thing as “volunteer” military service in the | category of Jhonest citzenship. Every man owes his service as a soldier from clear obligation essential to the social compact which pledges the govern- ment to duty for all, and pledges all to the maintenance of the govern- | ment. | As long'as wars can happen, it is a false thinking on the part of any man that his taking up or laying down of a musket can be a matter of his vol- untary choice. He has the one choice | of obedience or expatriation. The infernal overindulgence of our national treasury in the matter of pensions is a natural result of that false thinking, and an evidence of | how deep-seated the mistake is in 1 A | too great a body of popular thought. | A reasonable and just compensation . i | for military service must always be | made. But who can defend the waste of public funds in the name of ‘“‘grat- ! itude” that has hecome the bonus of , | thousands who .neither have need, or | even if needy have ever sacrificed a pin's worth upon the altar of patriot- ism?
