[ IS plain enough that submarine operations of the most eort are being carried on by the Teutonic allies in the Medi- terranean, Yesterday brought news of three more steamships torpedoed before this country is yet in possession of the full facts regerding the sinking of the Persia. Submarine attacks in and about the English Channel seem likely to be owtdone by similar warfare in the great middle As yet there has been no effective attempt on the part of the Entente Pow era to hunt down submarines in thé Mediterranean. Thero the un- dersen craft are having a new carnival of destruction. Where they have come from matters little. They are there, and the menace they bring to travellers on merchant ships, American citi- zene included, is as gravo as it was when the Lusitania was sunk in northern waters. We had, wo hope we etill have, a satisfactory understanding with Geemeny, yes, and with Austria-Hungary also, as to the conditions of eabmarine attack. But how many submarines are now prowling in the Mediter- ranean? Are they all German or Austrian? Or shall we presently learn that somo are Turkish or even Bulgarian? Before we get a grip on the submarine question as it affects in- ternational rights which we have set out to maintain it begins to look es if a final blanket manifesto on the subject would have to be de- livered under the United States seal in Berlin, Vienna, Constanti- néple and Sofia. SSS WHERE THE MONEY GOES. HB retiring Sheriff of New York County reports to Gov. Whit- man that during his two years in office he received $90,000 in fees and $24,000 in eslary—making a total of $114,000, or 057,000 « year. This pay, Mr. Grifenhagen frankly declares, is excessive. There are no claims against the Sheriff which could not be avoided by proper Yegislation. And “so far as the functions of the Sheriff of New York Gounty are concerned which relate to the enforcement of criminal law, the office might as well be abolished.” Fifteen thousand dollars The difference between $15,000 and $57,000 is $42,000. Tax- payers in this city could find plenty of uses for such a sum annually. seme: ren rid- Daily M 1 | . Take the Public Lecture System, to go no further. There is disappointment at the scant number of lectures announced $y the carly weeks of the new year. A million and « half adults in this city have come to look forward each season to these lectures as _ eagerly welcomed opportunities for pleasure and improvement. Dis- tinguished lecturers are glad to offer their services for fecs that hardly cover their expenses. Yet the amount appropriated by the city for this admirable form of public instruction is this year cut almost in half. At $10 a lecture, the nominal fee now customary, $42,000, plus the cost of light, heat, etc., would provide 4,200 chances for citi- zens of New York to increase their knowledge and widen their interests. A better use for the money than dumping it into an ancient county office which a metropolis no longer needs. —_—_— +-—____ MORE ALLURING EACH YEAR. HE Automobile Show this year is a greater exhibition than ever and reminds us the country was not eo hard up that it couldn’t spend $586,856,450 on passenger motor vehicles during the past twelve months, The motor car industry is one of the first to respond to the Promise of prosperity, and the auto manufacturers are preparing to crowd production to the limit the coming year. But the motor car is more than the plaything of the well to do who hardly miss the money it costs. One-third of all the cars in use in this country aro in ten agricultural States. It would be inter-| esting to’ know on how many farms where the farmer keeps an auto the farmer's wife still carries water from the pump and (toils in a Kitchen that lacks the commonest modern conveniences. No doubt in many instances she herself would rather cook meals im a woodshed and have a car to take her to town and back of an evening. Maybe her life is happier and her mind more active because of a sacrifice that to others would seem all against her. Few American families who make both ends meet have the slight- est difficulty in convincing themselves that an auto would be the wisest investment they could make. Mother and children are sure of it, and father probably already has an option on one. We wonder if any invention in the history of the race ever in so short a time tempted so much money out of all sorts and conditions of pockets, —————-4-2—____. “Wedding Bells, or The Emptre of Love.” “Is Marriage a Failure, or Did God Blunder in Eden?” “Is Marriage a Necessity, or Have the Bachelor end Spinster a Mission?” “Is an Engagement Sacred, or The Tragedy of Broken Hearts?” “Is the Clandestine Marriage Elevating, or Does Se- crecy Prophesy Happiness?” “Is the Husband a House Band, or The Peril of Absen- tee Fatherhood?” “Is the Wife a Homemaker, or Does the Modern Wom an Qualify “Is the Commercial Marriage Safe, or Is It Matrimony or a Matter of Money?” “Is the Home Society's Bulwark, or The Mansion, the Tenement and the Flat?"

I wonder if the doctrine of free- dom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of action is not now being talked too loudly to youth. My daugh- ter, a college girl, came home for the Christmas holidays filled up with {deas about ‘individuality,’ ‘self-inter- est,’ ‘feminism,’ ‘self-assertion’ and a lot of other preachments for mature minds—already analyzed, solved and labelled by her, “Bhe had heard lectures on these things and had decided about them to her own satisfaction, While the days are gone when ‘children should be seen and not heard,’ yet I wonder if it is wise for them to hear so many of these new-fangled dogmas when the young mind ts hardly able to put them where they rightfully belong. “For example, my girl proclaims that the pursult of happiness lies in satisfying herself only, She argues that, while she must consider others to nome extent, her own wishes should come first. Purther, she proceeds to cite authorities on the subject. In view of this and the various new philoso- phies that are being propounded ev- erywhere to-day would {t not be bet- ter to have a firm checkrein on the education of our children and find out what new doctrine is to be absorbed by them? “When my wife and I remonstrate with the children we are made to feel that we are ‘back numbers,’ behind the times, ete, It seems to me that @ Iittle bit of the old-fashioned idea of stability, a Mttle more modesty of thought and a little less freedom of action among our youth would be worth while,” The foregoing is certainly worthy of consideration, “Do our children learn too much?

Take, for ex- | ample, two girls of nearly the same type, one just about as good looking as the other, Let them buy dresses alike, and on one the result will be charming, while on the other there will be nothing in the frock to make one give it a second glance.

Had Mr, Berry ventured one word to him at this moment Mr, Jarr would have done it, But Mr, Berry chirruped to the dapple grays and guided them through the teeming streets, well pleased at the smart yet dignified action of the span. “Well, are you satisfied?” asked Mr. Jarr finally, “The horses, while suf- ficiently spirited for your business, do not seem to be nervous, They have not shied at automobiles, trolley cars or children whooping and rushing across the street under their noses, I guess you take them from Rafferty, eh? What?” “The test has hantily begun,” replied Mr. Berry. “Now for temptation such as lured Clarence, my very sagactous horse, who has been led by his own dissipations into the movies!” added Mr. Berry, and he guided the horses drawing the hearse close to the curh by the side door of a saloon. But the dapple grays evidently thought they were hitched to a water wagon rather than a hearse, or it may have been that they were consclen- tious horses of the highest probity who had promised their mothers never to drink, Perhaps, too, they had heard of the awful fall from grace of Clarence—lost to the respectable pro- fession of hauling a hearse and gone into moving pictures through addic- tion to drink! In any case, the dap- ple grays passed on by the side door of this and half a dozen other saloons without giving them a glance, let alone halting or faltering. Mr, Jarr felt very thirsty, But who was he that he should set a bad ex- ample to a pair of dapple grays going into the very respectable undertaking profession? “You see, they are all right,” said Mr. Jarr finally. “Let us drive back to Rafferty's stable and close the deal,” “I am not half through with the test yet,” replied Mr. Berry, “I re- member that when Clarence first be- came addicted to drink he would halt only at roadhouses, and saloons in the city did not appeal to him, At first he only cared to loiter at road- houses, on his way back from inter- ments.
