With ' the daily -lessons sufétently _prominent to make everyone stop, read " and think, there-appears to be small ‘reason for many of these cases. A _certain proportion could unquestion- be listed as unavoidable, but it s believed that if a little more care had been used upon the part of all i concerned results would have been dif- fdrent. When month after month it is 3 sary to record the repetition of fytalities of similar character it would : that the price of heedlessness sufficient to change conditions, to all appearances personal ex- is required to insure reform secure proper respect for safety. How much the movement for safety irst has accomplished is impossible to te, but there is no doubt that is still plenty of opportunity for HELPING THE BOYS Nothing is more praiseworthy' than effort wherever made or by what- Ir organization which has for its pose the extension of the hand of nce to boys who lack proper dance or need the advice of friends their own future welfare and. the d of the community and country. “Thus it can be appreciated that John |C. Collins, secretary of The Friends 6f Boys, hits the nail on ‘the head he declares: “This great Amer- of ours now and in the years im- ediately before us has mo greater d than men, more men, real men, who will and will not, who can \d cannot, who hold themselves un- r discipline and control, whose well it out and prepared endeavors toward high and noble ideals, and the greatest good of humanity.” It s such a service in leading boys h the setting before them of 00d example and aiding them in sur- mounting the trials, and tribulations s unate circumstances by giv- them a chance to become men the country meeds, that the ition of which Mr. Collins is xecutive is rendering.

Like- wise, similar trouble was faced when bubonic plague made its appearance there and broke out periodically de- spite the efforts to overcome it. Stren- uous action was demanded and elab- orate measures for the prevention of the plague carriers including the rat- proofing of its bufldings seemed like an expensive and endless job, but it was nevertheless undertaken with deter- mination and the result is that today New Orleans is abie to boast .of being = ratproof town and a community whose standard of health was never higher. The Crescent clty must stand out as an example of what can be done in the way of community betterment. Where there is a will there is a way, it is said, and New Orleans can be peinted to as proof of the statement. Dillydally- ing, or temporary measures-do not pay in the long run as many a city has found out and in no direction is this true more than in eliminating disease breeding conditions. JAPAN'S ATTITUDE. By the issue of a Panama-Pacific exposition number of The Japan Ad- vertiser, a copy of which The Bulletin 1s in receipt, the opportunity is taken to set forth the advantages which are opened up by the important waterway and for reiterating the strong bond of friendship which exists between the nation: The differences which have arisen over the rights of the nations and the fact that the exposition was being held in that locality which has been so opposed to the Japanese have not_blinded. that country to the ad- vantages which were offered by ‘par- ticipating in the celebratton which is of world-wide importance. From the first, Japan has given. its support to the idea and this newspaper recogni- tion of the oceasion is in keeping with other manifestations of good will and the npeed of closest economic relations. This is indicated jn the message from Japan to America by Premier Okuma when in referring to the op- portunity which the issue gives for expressing to the public of the United States and Japan the great interest the Panama canal he recognizes importance to the commercial welfare of Japan and the possibilities it holds in the development of the trade be- tween the United States and the orient, especially Japan. It is a pleasure for me to say that Japan is in most friend- ly relationship with America, econom- ically as well as socially. The affairs of a very few Japanese immigrants in the Pacific coast states are very small matters compared without satisfactory relations.” The opinion which the premier ex- presses is held by many others on both sides of the Pacific and the putpose of the special edition with a view to aiding in the promulgation of a strong- er feeling of friendship is highly commendable. EDITORIAL NOTES. As King George must realize by this time, the man on horseback isn’t in the safest place in the world, This is the morning when a certain number of the politicians in eight of the states will have a chance to say “I told you so.” When Villa declares that he will fight the United States if necessary it begins to look as if his back was against the wall, ] There is something about these No- vember days which makes the desk slave feel that a vacation-season would be most welcomed. ——— The man on the corner says: Never start an argument on the back plat- form of a trolley car unless you are nearing your destination. There is a great opportunity for sympathizing with the barber who tries to maintain a neutral attitude throughout the’ entire day. That western woman who has been pay book; but not so. Because xious outsider who looked might have had as it was to draw check and lose it. So the proprietor was sore. Peering out through the dark cloud of gloom that surrounded him like a mist about a mountain, he saw com- ing up to the cashier's desk, next to his office, Jophanus Hackle, who was probably the most resourceful special ‘writer on any Sunday paper outside an_asylum. Jophanus Hackle had long ago writ- ten about everything there was to write about; and he was still writing for the Sunday Whoop. The longer he wrote the better he wrote. ~His brain produced automatically, without food. The proprietor of the Cafe Jit- ney was no psychologist, so the won- dertul resourcefulness of Jophanus Hackle had never engaged his atten- tion. It it had, he might have re- flected that it was lucky that peo- ple’s stomachs were not made lke Jophanus' brain. If they had been, the restaurant business would have been about as profitable as a shoe store in Yucatan. It was Jophanus, with the six-cylin- der, self-starting, three-speed mind who approached to pay his check at the counter. His eye pierced the pro prietor's gloom like a_torpedo pierc- ing a Swiss cheese. Being afraid of nothing but thirst, he entered the of- fice fallaclously ~marked ‘“Private” shook the damp and yielding hand of the proprietor and initiated converse: ti ‘Good business you're doing, old man. Never can find an empty seat, this time of day. Had to wait. ra come in here oftener if you had more room.” Then the proprietor exploded. It didn’t hurt anyone, because though his face was fat his voice was thin. He Lated to give anything away, even sound. He wheezed like a 1910 model. “That's what gets my goat,” he said. He was inelegant of expression. If he had been running a higher class cafe he would not have said that But it conveyed his state of mind, which, after all, is one of the prime purposes of language. “It sure gets my goat. Look at those simps They've gob- bled up less than two-bits’ worth of food, every last one of them, 'and thero they sit playing with the table furniture—they’d pinch it if the best of it wasn't no good--and they won't move along and let someone else come in and do business.

Bat to music—not incidentally to music, as usual in flashy restaurants, but scientifically. Curlously enough, the Cafe Jitney was prepared to demonstrate the idea promptly on Monday. The fact was not mertioned in The Sunday Whoop, but it was mentioned in the adver- tising department of the Monday edi- tion, anq in the front windows of the Cafe Jitney. Big placards on the city’s Dill boards sajd:— DINE IN TIME FOR ONE DIME! People flocked into the Cafe Jitney —as usual. The orchestra played, and corned beef hash waltzed down & thousand throats. The leader waved his baton, and boiled dinners (small ones, at five cents, of course) were absorbed with the Toreador Song. Then the leader, at a signal from the proprietor, struck into a one-step; and it was a quick one. You could al- most hear the jaws click. A thousand pairs of average teeth working syn- chronously to a one-step make _some clatter, except among the steak-eat- ers, where they became entangled in the meshes of rump and round, The leader waved faster anl .ster. The orchestra played more and more wildly. It was a most magnificient crescendo of music and mastication. | Suddenly, when it seemed the orches. tra_could not speed up any more, the leader brought his baton down with a smash on his music rack; and there was_silence. The diners or audience, gulped. Three women choked and had to be carried out. Seven men bit pleces out of the coffee cups they happened to have at their lips at the time. Ome man swallowed half a napkin, which was retrieved with difficulty. In the hush that followed, the leader mopped his brow. The scrub women mopped two or three places where waitresses had dropped loaded trays.

War Bonus for Railwaymen, Aftor protracted megotiations, the demand of the English railway men for an increase in thelr war bonus has been settled by the granting of about half their demand. Under the new agreement, the war bonus of most railway empioyes is practically doubled. The rate granted at the be- ginning of the war averaged fifty to seventy-five cents weekly, the revised bonus will, in most cases, reach $1.35 weekly The _adjustment will cost nearly $20,000,000 a year. Presumably the government will take over most of this extra burden. In return for the higher war bonus now allowed, the men’s leaders have agreed not t6 present any further de- mands during the time the roads re- main under government control. Dutch Metal Workers Must Stay at Home. The Dutch Government has pro- hibited any further exodus of metal workers to England. Early in the war, large numbers of Dutch work- men in metals went to Germany, at- tracted by the high wages offered in the _munitions = factories. More re- cently, a similar exodus on an even wider ' scale, had begun toward Eng- land. The Dutch government, fear- ing an actual famine in skilled help for an important trade, has now pro- mulgated a_ strict prohibition against workmon of this class leaving the country. The "Socialist newspaper Het Volk criticizes the new regulation in a striking _editorial entitied “Is Hol- land a Prison?" The article draws a contrast Dbetween the _governmen: benevoient approval of the enormous war profits being reaped by the trad- i6g classes, and lts efforts to prevent artisans from improvig their condi- tion. The article declares that a number of Dutch workmen who were already on board steamer when the new prohibition was announced, were removed from the vessel by military force.

It was here, be It remem 3 that they originated the phrase “grin and bear it.” The amount of this is that the people of New England are somewhat shrewd in their choice, and when they make a mistake they take their medicine. New Englanders don't Ilike to admit their mistakes so cor- dially as to recall a mayor in the mid- dle of his term. They prefer to wait until the end of it, and make the change then if at all.

By National Geographic Sociuty “The Morava Valley, along which the aliled German and Austro-Hun- garian troops are pushing forward to a junction with the Bulgarians, forms the core of old Servia” according to a primer of war geography Jjust given out by the National Geographic Soclety, which describes Servia' largest river and the Servian link in the historic route between Europe and Asia. “The greatest part of Servia’s trade flows through this val- loy, and here, also, is much of the| small kingdom's richest agricultural land. Moreover; it is through this narrow strip of lowland that the mountainous Balkan country has maintained its contact with the West, a contact not always advantageous. “The Morava Vailey forms one of those famed troughs across Europcan uplards along which armies have poured throughout all history, and many a powerful host has ~passed over the couree that the Teutonic soldierc are taking today. When Con- stantinople, the golden capital of the Empire of the East, was in the zen- ith of its glory, its generals held back Slav incursions in battles fought beside the Morava River.
