Just Temporary Peace, Gentlemen Miss Pearl Pugsley’s nose has not been vindicated. But Arkansas returns to a state of peace, temporarily. Arkansas school girls simply astonished folks by taking to painting and powdering their faces and using lip: School boards issued a prohibitory edict, and Arkansas, educationally and socially, was split from collar button to Shoestrings. On one side stood a solid phalanx of gents, om and young, who demanded that girls appear in the raw iy; facially speaking; on the other side were arrayed all | women holding that a female could and would wear her face ‘as she blame pleased. Finally, Miss Pearl Pugsley, of | nobel, defiantly adorned her nose and rubbed it, meta- | horically speaking only, under the noses of her high school rectors. The latter scorned her nose and expelled her. ceness broke out and raged everywhere. A case was ought against that high school board. The last death-bed equest of Miss Pearl's father was that the rebuke to the n of the Pugsley nose be pushed in the courts. And the Arkansas supreme court decides for the school | oard, and there's peace in Arkansas. Temporary peace, ents, temporary! The quiet that falls upon the mob just efore it cuts loose. That old poet knew his business when e Wrote, “Hell hath no fury Like a woman scorned.” _ And there are women a-plenty in Arkansas. ‘The difference between a dance and a bootleggers’ convention isn’t as ch as it should be.

Y., e Ward family lawyers have obtained an injunction inst the attorney general of New York, restraining m from subpoenaing witnesses for prosecuting purposes, nd it seems to us something new in the way of injunc- villainy. j ; When an officer, sworn to uphold the law, run down ‘rime and secure the punishment of the guilty, is stopped by the court of justice itself, it comes pretty near mak- ing a common drab of justice. However, maybe it is only another of those cute little methods of making business for lawyers. Our law schools are turning out thousands of lawyers every year. They’ve all got to eat. And they’re jailing folks for ordinary disrespect of law. That Ward case certainly is acquiring a Thaw aspect. San Francisco hubby didn't know his wife got a divorce. You just can't keep track of these women. About a hundred presidential booms have started, but where on earth are the vice-presidential booms? Most of those determined to remain old maids are under 16. _ Love makes the world go round, without enough sleep, A Scientist’s Slip-U p Dr. Hrdlicka, anthropologist of the Smithsonian Insti- tute, tries to relieve Europe’s gloom over shortage of 20 ‘Million husbands by arguing that “the excess of women will give the men opportunity to select better wives,” and hence a much stronger future generation. Now, Europe had better be gloomy than be fooled, and this paper must assert that Dr. Hrdlicka, as is usual with scientists, wholly overlooks “the human equation.” Given one man with five women, say, needing husbands, what's the natural result? If it were a case of mere animals, the doctor would be right; the masculine would i the best female and a strong progeny would result, , it Dr. Hrdlicka is considering women, Our five women Would sure so pester that godforsaken man that he couldn't possibly tell the best from the worst; or our one man, knowing that five women were “just crazy” for him, wouldn’t become a husband at all.

PORTERPIELD ITH THE FLEET AT PANAMA, April 16 (By Mail.)—Millions of little fish, possibly half the size of small sardines, floated upon the surface of the Gulf of Panama after the Mississippi had sunk the old Iowa with her 14-inch gun They floated, dead, mute sacrifice to the ‘God of War, a god which thru the ¢ man nor his work s has regarded neither , nor yet God nor His works We ranged along the ships’ rails and looked down upon them, and some of us saw an allegory —an allegory with no answer—and some of us saw only dead fish. And some of us talked of the fine marksmanship of the great Mississippi's gun crews, and some of us talked in lower tones of the dramatic, moving spectacle we had just witnessed, and some of us looked down on the dark waters of the Pacific, whereon floated the dead fish, and said nothing at all, “THE band played The Star Spangled Banner, every man stood at attention, a salute of 21 guns wa fixed, and just as the last note of our national anthem floated out from the Maryland the gallant old Iowa went down, Of course, the Iowa was really only a mass of iron and steél and copper, cleverly modeled and put together and made to il upon the seas, to sail and fight.
