A dispatch from the border says that the Mexican revo lutionists threaten to slaughter the Americans in Sonora tomor row, their Independence day, When we read that dispatch we saw fed and the American eagle screamed. Let those Greasers dare to kill one single American, and But, whoa! Who sent that dispatch And why Is there & press agent in the woodpile? Were the threats actually made And were the men who made the threats bona fide revolution ists? Patriotism is a noble emotion, but it is often put to an ignoble use. The patriotism of the British was intl ved because Cecil Rhodes wanted the diamond fields that belonged by right to the Boers. The patriotism of the Japanese and the Russians was inflamed becausd a Japanese group and a Russian group of financiers wanted Korea, which didn't belong to either, Let's be patriotic by all means, But before we get hot under the collar let’s be sure what we're getting mad about Is it because a stray bullet has killed an American on the Mexican border? Or is it because a few Wall Street gentlemen want something that doesn't belong to them Fine, for the Court James Boyd was 19 years old when he was killed at the Black Diamond mines. He leit a poor, dependent mother Now the law—the cold, canny old law—says that parents are entitled to no more damages for the loss of children than what aid they might have rendered the family until they reached the age of 21. Thq law took the unsympathetic view that chil dren had no moral obligation to help their mothers after they reached their majority. And our state industrial commission followed the law in this respect. They refused to give Mrs. yd any compensation—at the rate of $20 per month--after such time as young James would have become 21 But here the human note comes from a court. Mrs, Boyd appealed from the decision of the compensation commission to the superior court. And Judge John F. Main decided that she had a right to a claim of $20 per month for the remainder of her life. Judge Main took the warmer human view that children have a moral duty to take care of their old mothers, even after they become 21. And it's mighty encouraging to find the human side once in a while in a court room. ‘Who Is the Typical American? A hard_question, to be sure And yet it is with great confidence that we nominate for the position of Our Most Typical American that sterling Mr John Martiner of Chicago. His life is an open book—and so is his abdomen, Thep ope efated upon him at the Cook County he the other day and found in his stomach almost a complete assortment of gen eral merchandise which he had swallowed from time to time in the past 18 years in winning his name as the “Human Tool- chest.” There the proceeds of the operation lic in the museum of the hospital, neatly mounted on cardboard.
