If Mrs. Bridget Johnson of Philadelphia
wins the suit she has brought against Miss
Frances Jackson rocky road stretches
out before the attractive young women
of the country. Mrs. Johnson sues Miss
Jackson to recover damages for the aliena-
ton by the latter of the affections of the
plaintiffs son from his mother. 1t often
happens, as the public has learned from the
professional humorists, that mother-in-law
and daughter-in-law regard each other with
jealous eyes. and novelists have shown that
mothers of eligible young men sometimes
use active measures to protect their sons
from designing maidens. There is a gen.
eral belief that as a rule, no love is lost
between the mother and the sweetheart
either before or after taking-that is, before
or after the sweetheart has taken the man
in the case as a permanent possession. The
needless public. however, has accustomed
itself to the thought that when young
man permits his affections TO rest upon a
fair maid all the world. including his near
est relatives, should stand aside and let
love have its way. 1t is understood. of
course, that the sight may be a painful one
to those relatives who have hitherto monop-
olized his tender regards but that they
should claim prior and permanent right
Of possession to them has not been consid-
cred possible. There is. indeed, Bible au-
thority iustifying him in deriving his

William Allen White, editor OF paper
in Emporia Kan, not only attracted the
attention of the country but threw Popu-
lists into a paroxysm of rage by his dag
nosis of the matter with Kansas" in the
last campaign. Now the Populist State
Board of Printing has refused to print his
address delivered at the opening of the
State University. Probably the censors Of
the Kansas printing house took offense at
expressions Of which the following is a
sample:
Any attempt to remove the evils attend
ing seltishness by passing laws against the
so-called plutocrats will be as futile as an
attempt to becalm the ocean by pouring
oil on the big waves while the little waves
rage on. All the legislatures and congresses
on the globe cannot better conditions so
long as the greed exists, which the farmer
hates in the banker the hired man finds
in the farmer and the storekeeper has to
Outright in the hired man. This greed
works wrong. but it is in mans blood. You
cannot legislate it out: you must educate
it out, purify the blood.

A well-known citizen who has seen much
of the world and the customs and manners
of various peoples recently remarked upon
the lack of ordinary courtesy in the pres
ence of the ladies who wait upon the patrons
of the Public Library. In many similar
libraries in the country a regulation re-
quires men and boys to remove their hats
while sitting at the tables or being waited
on at the desks. He is probably an old
fashioned man who believes in maintaining
such Difference to women as the re- oval OF
the head covering in a room in til cir pres
ence involves Nevertheless he is about
right. since not few can be taught first
lesson in Difference and courtesy by the
adoption of rule requiring boys to remove
their caps when in the Public Library wait
ing for books or in the reading room. Ioung
men who will senselessly remove their mats
while in a public elevator should woman
be present will stand at the desk of the
Public Library while being waited on by a
lady. 1t would be sensible to reverse this
courtesy.

Mr.. I. Zangwil contributes these verses
to the New York Independent:

TO the New York independent:
20 blessed Christ that foundest death
When life was fire and tears,
Not drawing on a sluggish breath
Through apathetic years.
STILL still about thy forehead CLEANS
The light we know Thee by.
o blessed Christ to die for dreams,
Nor know that dreams would die
Mr.. Zangwill is a Jew, but his attitude
toward the Founder of the Christian re-
ligion is very reverential. He acknowledges
the beauty of the dreams even while he
implies that they are dreams that must
die 1t is a pretty thought, apart from the
paganism in those last two lines.
