If Sheriff Hodge by its employment fs putting new vigor and new ideals into the hearts of erring men, then he is erigaged in a laudable endeavor. But, in some cases, The Star feels that Sheriff Hodge has given his confidence where confidence is not due—that he ts, In fact, defeating the very purpose of the honor system, cheapening it and making it a silly farce if not a serious mistake. Its purpose, as The Star understands it, is to reform. Sheriff Hodge says the honor system WILI BRING OUT WHATEVER MANHOOD THERE IS IN A MAN. Among the prisoners who have been permit- ted by the sherift to go outside the jail walls, on their word of honor that they will not attempt to escape, are several men convicted of white slavery. On these The Star believes Hodge should draw the line. For, in a man who has so sunk in degradation that he will exploit a woman's body for his own gain, THERE CAN BE NO MANHOOD, WOMAN AND MOUSE WOMAN and 10,000 mice! A You think that a woman who will stand for one mouse is a heroine among her sex. What do you think of a woman who studies, handles, lives with 10,000 mice?

STAR—FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1915 estimated that the per cent of heredity was 15 to 20. It is now known that it is 40 to 60 per cent. The effect of this discovery upon diagnosis can hardly be over-estimated. Every little bit of new knowledge on any scourge means step toward scientific triumph over it. Who makes this newest step toward triumph over the dread cancer? A woman, with mice! Dr. Maude Slye, pathologist at the University of Chicago, shut herself up for months in a separate building with thousands of mice. She studied over a thousand cases of cancer found in ten thousand mice. She proved that cancer of any particular organ can be passed on from one generation to an- other as certainly as color of eyes or hair. She produced strains of mice that were absolutely can- cer-proot. Moreover, she proved that proper treat- ment as to cleanliness, exercise and avoidance of injury diminishes the percentage in cases of even the most inbred of cancer-mice. If in the case of mice, why not in the case of man? - Behold woman, timid, frail, unfit for the risks and crises of public service, shut up alone in a house with 10,000 mice, working for men’s lives! Honor to the bfave, self-sacrificing Dr. Maude Slye! A hundred mice would scare us out thru the very clapboards of that house.

AUBURN READER, ILE There’s no difficulty whatever about _ this question. It is in the same category as other ques tions we have answered, such as “How does a bee sting or, “If you were in mud up to your chin, would you dodge should some one throw a brick at you?” or, “If you kissed your girl in the dark and found out it was her mother, would you holler or stand pat?” And so forth. Any editor who wouldn't relieve an Auburn Reader on a question like the one now presented is mean enough to start a row in a drugstore be- cause their postage stamps aren't fresh. If we had hold of a tiger's tail, would we hold on or let go? It would all depend upon how we came to have that tail-holt and the disposition of the tiger. If, to illustrate, we had, in a spirit of sheer bravado, sneaked up behind the beast and seized his tail, only to discover that he was of an irascible temperament and inclined to rebel against our editorial use of his tail, we should hold on until one or the other of us starved to death. On the other hand, were it the tiger who, in playful mood, backed up to us and familiarly in- serted his tail within our hand, we, not knowing his full purpose and being generally averse to lo- cation at the hindermost end of anything, includ- ing tigers, would let go and climb the nearest tele- phone pole in protest against further familiarity, confident that we could reach the top of said pole before the animal could switch ends on us.

Of course, this answer covers the case only in the abstract—in a general way, as it were, We are not informed how Auburn Reader comes to have hold of a tiger’s tail, if any, or the disposition of the tiger, if any. If the question js purely supposititious and intended to apply wholly to us personally, we have to Sa iat tigers always come into our office head first and our con. duct, should we get a tail-holt, is, after all, a mat. ter of speculation, pretty considerable. THE MAYOR AND THE RENICK BILL AYOR GILL in his annual message to the council was moved to make the following comment on the Renick law: “« * * The declaration that a levy, for instance, by the council of money to buy a fire en. gine makes that money a trust fund to the extent that it could not be used to purchase a team of horses for the fire department in case it was found later that the fire engine was not needed, as this act attempts to do, WAS IN MY JUDGMENT IMBECILE, AND AN ATTEMPT ON THE PART OF THIS CITY TO LITERALLY FOLLOW THAT ACT WOULD STOP THE OPERATION OF ITS GOVERNMENT ENTIRELY.” HAYTI HAS to arise and have a little revolution just to prove it is just as civilized as Europe is THE MANCHESTER GUARDIANS declare the British have lost the power to tell the truth regarding the war.
