The baby cannot attend to this duty personally and, in fact, may not ex- press very much interest in it, but it should be the care of the loving parents and friends, and jt is in mfany cases the legal duty.of the/physician or midwife who heips to usher Ahe child into the world, to see that the birth is properly regs- tered ““Unfortunately, In many states there are no laws at all for this purpose, or, per- haps, worse yet, they are laws that cannot be reasonably expected to secure com plete records of births. Even in 'state where laws exist that If efficiently ad- ministered should secure the registration of all births, the duty of tration Is very frequently nezlected by the physi- clan or midwife, and the law punishing such delinquency I8 no local or state authorities, The result is that probably not one-half—perhaps not one-third—of the babies born each year in United States are registered at all The fallure to make such legal records may be very annoying and mortifying in future years, and may perhaps entail di- Fect loss of money or- privilege to the child ‘toward whom this Important duty was neglected.’ The above editorial by Cressy L.

Thornton We always did like Kid Burns; he was a decent sort of chap, it he did lack In pol- ish. His heart was in the right place, and his conduct in the matter of the Bennett will, which formed the basls for “Forty Five Minutes from Broadway,” was that of a géfitleman. And when he agreed to stick around New Rochelle because Mary | wanted him to, well, everybody haa an {dea that it was all over but saying, “Bless you, my children.” It seems everybody was mistaken, though, for Kid Burns drifted back to New York, and naturally to tho race tracks. He succeeded in cun- ning up a % bill to a million, and thought money was gofng to make him happy; but |1t did not. It only brought him more | trouble. He tried to get In right with a | class of people who wouldn't have him, and his native shrewdness made the reason very plain to him. His Innate honesty helped him, though, and he stuck to ‘he one man who was really friendly to him It was peculla®, perhaps, that this one man was a millionare as well, with a daughter, a son and a wife, the latter with a strong | sense of her social responsibility and much | aversten for persons of the Kid Burng | stripe. The son, too, had certain ideas that | were not In favor of Burns, but the father | recognized his worth, and the daughter " |simply fell in love with him. An adven- | turess, well recalled In connection with | some events at New Rochelle about the time the Bennett will matter was up, en- | trapped the son Into a promise of marriage, | after ha & put over a rather lumpy place of work on the KId, whereby she thought |she hed him silenced. But he talked to the father and saved the son.

The company he heads is large and capable and the whole {s worked off In & way that is most entertaining. Mr. Cohan disdains anything of subtlety in his plots; nor does he scorn to show us the “deus ex machina;" in fact, we may #eo the wheels go round as much as we care to, but in “The Talk of New York" he makes them go mighty fast. It is a canon of the Cohan art that all who en- gage in its Interpretation must keep mov- ing, and his choruses scamper, scurry, nustle all the way. In this plece he makes them run; one or two amount to regular marathons around the stage, and one song is Intended to celebrate the progress of an automobile scorcher burning up the boulevard. You may guess the tempo at which It 1s taken and the effort the young folks must put forth to keep up with it. The inevitable flag episode is presented, but this time in the most cynical mood Mr. Cohan has yet shown us. It is set forth that, no matter where you are, the best thing to wave is the fountain pen; it you have the bank roll you are all right, while “If you're broke you're & Jjoke." Perhaps he's right. Mr. Moore was welcomed last night by an assemblage of which he has a right to feel rather proud. It is something an actor may boast of to draw so many people to a theater on a stormy Christmas eve. He was given a most cordlal reception, and, in the course of & brief and humorou. speech, said: “The last time I was in Omaha, th:e years ago, I was sick abed in Denver. But I am glad to be with you tonight, and am glad you like me well enough to cofne out on such a night &s this to see me. I am also glad that so many of you have fin ished your shopping and have the time to come to the theater. I know the trees at home are all trimmed and that the lit tle ones will be made happy in the morn- ing. 1 wish you all & very Merry Christ- mas and a Happy New Year.' The plece Is beautifylly mounted, each of the four acts getting individual treat- ment and each belng an attractive pic- ture. The fourth act has for its scene the outdoor setting at the Bennett homestead at New Rochelle, which will call up fond memories of ‘“Forty-five Minutes From Broadway” and dear old Fay Templeton, and make many regret ail the more that we did not get-to hear Mr. Moore in that plece.

DECISION PLEASING T0 ATTORNEY IN OMAHA L. Webster Regards Kansas Bank Outcome as Nice Christe mas Gift. John L. Webster of Omaha, who wroto the brief and made the principal argument In the case before Judge Potlock at T peka last summer on behalf of the banks, regards the decisfon of Judge Pollock, just handed down, «s a good Christmas gift There were assoclated with Mr. Webster in the case Bailey P. Weggoner of Atch- 1son, Senator Chester I Long and J. W. Gleed of Topeka. Mr. Webster sald, regarding the case: “Three sults were brought in the United States circuit court in the district of Kan- #as to enjoin the Kansas bank paranty law. The first of the sults was by a stock- holder in a state bank. The second suit was brought by 147 national banks. The third suit was brought by a large number of state banks. These cases wert argued during the summer at Topeka, and after- rd printed briefs were filed by the sev- sral attorneys representing the different Interests. “The opinion of Judge Pollock directs an injunction to be entered, both in behalf of the stockholders o the state bank and also In behalf of the 147 national banks, enjoining the enforcement of the guaranty law on the ground that sald law is uncon- stitutional in many particulars, and par- ticularly because it operates to unlawfully Glseriminate against nationsal banks.. “The Kansas cases were particularly in- (eresting because the law Is voluntary in its features, in this, that a bank may or may not become a guaranteed bank, at the pleasure of its directors and stockholders. In this respect the law &8 entirely different from the Nebraska law. The case was, therefore, much more difficult to handle. “Phe fundamental principles underlying all of the bank guaranty laws Is the same, in that by direct compulsion, as in the Nebraska case, or by Indirect compulston, as in the Kansas case, It takes the prop- erly of certaln banks and gives the same as a gratulty to some priviate person with whom the contributing bank is under no obligation, “In the Kansas case there were found to be many discriminations as between banks and as between depositors. It was this particular feature that made thu law obnoxious to the national banking sot, under which national banks are organized.” There i not the least danger in giving Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to ehildrems a8 It eontalns no harmful drug.
