We cannot have such topsyturvydom in this country. Any group of men, whether they call themselves capitalists or laborers, who attempt to bring it about, will be rudely put in toeir proper place by the American democracy.” It is the interests of the people that are too cften disregarded. Selfish in- terests are allowed to shut out a sane consideration of the gencral welfare and the effects of threatened trouble, and the time is ripe when all parties to the railroad dispute should be pushed hard for a fair and sensible adjustment of their differences. THE FUTURE OF POLAND. With the success of the Russian forceg in mind, the declaration which has been made by the kaiser to the effect that it is his intentions to es- tablish the kingdom of Poland follow- Ing the war, must he regarded as an =ffort to sway Polish sentiment to his side at a time when results indicate that Germany is not able to resist the armies of the czar and that Poland will soon be back under Russian con- trol. It is apparently intended to offset the’ Russian promise made ecarlier in he wax i the sesccrosntesorsaene ception that the kingdom of Poland as planned by Russia would include Ger- man and Austrian Poland, as well as the Russian province, but it cannot be expected that Germany would be will- ing to sacrifice Prussian Poland. how- ever much it might be willing to use Russian and Austrian territory in such a plan. The question which must be decided by the Polish people, who have long been looking forward to the day when they would regain something of their former greatness. is which of these two countries is mostly likely to carry out its promises. In either case it will all depend upon the outcome of the war.. It will be the side that wins which can make good and just at the present time with its unlimited re- sources, its great number of men well organized and equipped and the suc- cess which {is attending its efforts the balance favors Russia, and when Germany’'s promises to Belgium are considered Poland will have as good if not better grounds for relying upon Russian promises AN UNDESERVED REBUKE. It was a peculiar and distressing sit- uation which was faced by that party of Canadian nurses who were forced to leave the train at the border and re- turn to their homes because their en- trance into this country conflicted with the immigration law. They had re- sponded to the appeal to render assist- ance in this country in the care of the infantile paralysis cases. They were on an errand of mercy and not en- deavoring to avoid the immigration laws. It means no little sacrifice for them to leave their homes and go into another country for the purpose of fighting disease, but it was a gruff re- buke which they received at the bor- der even before they had a chance to besin their work. It ppears that due consideration was not given by those who were sceking the help of the Canadian nurses to see that just such an ob- s was placed in their path was removed. The mistake that was made ha recognized by the govern- o uthoriti The red tape ha been cut according to the announce- ment which is now made that the thirty nurses which the New York health department had secured acros: the border will be permitted to enter. no thought of violating act clause.

Now that wheat has taken a de- cided jump, it is possible that the ad- ministration can arrange for bumper crops again, even though such action {would be a trifle late. When the claim is made that the Germans deliberately murdered Capt. Fryatt to taunt the British, it will be generally recognized that it is nothing worth bragging about. Regardless of the fact that the open- ing of school may be considerably de- layed this fall, in some places at least, no one has heard those who will be afiected: setting up a howl.

Heretofore T've simply gone and breathed natural- ly and taken things as they came. If T had a good time, all right, and if some other girl was the popular one I was philosophical about. it and zot all my Christmas presents made. “Now, however, I've decided that what is needed ot a summer resort is sys- tem—something on the efficiency or- der.

AMEN, Norw h, Aug. 1 Cotirtesy Pays: Mr. Editor: What are the duties of a cash or clerk in and elec- tric office? It would scem that the duties are to be polite eous who call on the tel in- quiries. A public office is a ic trust, and when a man he is continually i his bus service which if he is not satis = should resign his office. in an office to attend to ies, he should attend to them, and not attend n office wher: ng the public them the to, or, to outside duties over which he hasj no control and which he out of, and that will enc him to give Letter service to the public in the duties which he is expected to per- form. It is a zood man in this world who takes care of his own business and does o0 successfully, and {does not criticise his associates or superiors, and By so doing he will not be creat- ing dfscord amonzst his fellowmen. There have been many susgestions as to what the eleventh commandment should be, but none appears to be bet- ter than “Mind thine own business.” No man was ever so great in any position that an equally good one could not be found to take his place, and it never did a man any sepecial gocd in endeavoring to advance him- self to criticise his’fellowmen. Ex- perience has proven that Courtesy never hurt anybody, and there are certain departments within our municipality where there is a woeful absence of courtesy at the present time.

And all the girls were glaring at each other sweetly and_the air scintillated with barbed shafts of conversation. I'm resolved to do away with this foolish custom, which exists at every summer resort in the country. But what I cannot de- cide about is whether I'll be a philan- thropist and set all the girls right or conflne my efforts selfishly to myself. “I might collect all the girls and point out to them the deficiencies of our previous campaigns and divide up the hours of the day so that no girl will dare interfere with any other girl on her schedule time. For example, if Amy has from 9 to 10 on the tennis court with whatever man is around. the other girls must go eat nails or read missionary papers or something and not bat an eyelash toward the tennis courts. “At 10 Amy must say that she's tired or has letters to write—because Henrietta comes in then with her ca- noe. In this way the afiair s con- ducted decorously, every one has an equal show, there is no pushing and crowding, jealousy or backbiting.

The law concerning the stopping of automobiles by reason of a standing trolley car is not being observed ver closely by drivers in this communit: The law is strict, requiring each driy- er to come to a stop and then to pro- ceed cautiously. Observations of any- on North M street show that, contrary to comin to a stop and then approac tiously, the majority of dri up to see if they cannot p before the trolley passenger is alight. There will be an ac here one of these days on account of the non-observance of this law, and the driver will probably look for un- warranted leniency in the court They need not expect any or even any public sympathy. Perhaps the only effective method to put a stop to this folly is to take numbers, as observed, and cause arrests. One does hate to use any method which will inconven- fence a neighbor and fellow-citizen but drivers should observe the law.— Bristol Press.
