succession Of such occurrences as those
which have just taken place in Minne>
apolis through tho misuse of gasoline.
There never is any explanation to offer
which does not involve the criminal care.
lessness and folly of the person using
the fluid Even ignorance cannot be
pleaded, for there is no one who uses
gasoline who can be said to be ignorant
of the main requirements to It's safe use
These cases call for the most stringent
regulations both on the part of municipal
authorities and on the part of the insur-
ance companies OF course the fluid is
harmless and useful if it IS only used
with any reasonable degree of care. But
the consequences of carelessness in its
use are so bad as to have long made 1t
plain that tho regulations which now
exist are totally insufficient.
If in every case in which the person
causing fire through the careless hand
ling of the fluid who survives his or her
own carelessness were proceeded against
by severe fine end Imprisonment there
would soon be an improvement. An ex-
ample or two of severe punishment would
have the most salutary effect.
Whatever may be the proper additional
regulations it is quite apparent that I'M
til the local ordinances governing the use
of gasoline are rendered much more
stringent we will continue to have just
such lamentable experiences.

Which thy lifelong home has BEEN
Walled with granite on the outside,
And with polished pearl within!
All unconscious of the beauties
Which in thy. home are rife,
Thou sojourneSt for a season
In the oozy depths of life.
To ope thy fortress window
Thrust out thy smutty head,
And seek the Shiny morseI
Which is thy daily bread
This alone IS thy eudeavor,
This is all thou hast to do:
Yet thOu'rt happy, very happy,
If the ancient proverbs true.
Clam, thou'lt be among the missing
When the morrow's dinners done,
And the ruins of thy dwelling

But perchance some poet silent
Wand ring by the white sea foam
Seeking some lost strain of music,
May espy thy vacant home;
And if in that shells white hollow
Then o clam down in the mud there,
Thou wilt not have lived in vain

Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky, has en-
riched the literature of Imperialism by
a very heavy, even if seemingly pro-
found, constitutional dissertation on the
right of the United States to go into
the colonial business. Senator Lindsay's
view of colonialism is that of a certain
Old lady regarding the doctrine of total
depravity: It is all right, if only prop
erly carried out.
We have a perfect right to have col
onies. We can, If we want to-so says
Senator Lindsay-take the Filipino chick
under our wing We don't have to in
clrde him in our regular brood If, as
such adopted progeny will do once in
while, he choose to disport himself after
q fashion quite strange to thoroughly
domesticated productions he should be
taught better. Yet the senator does not
recommend the project of putting strange
eggs under the old mother hen as a
settled policy. This, however, may be
taken as attended by the qualification
that the practice might be allowable when
there is no other kind of eggs available.
There has been a good deal of nonsense
spoken and written on the subject of the
Filipino; but 1t is doubtful if anything
can be regarded as more so than Senator
Lindsay's constitutional outbreak on the
subject. If his idea is to prevail we may
take the Filipinos, and govern them with
the distinct understanding that they are
never to reach the dignity of American
citizens. He goes, of course, on the as
sumption that they are untitled for such
citizenship. We can give them any form
of local control of their lives that we
think proper, and we must not treat them
as an absolute autocracy might treat
to them, that is another story.
Under such a plan there would be only
one course for the ambitious Filipino to
pursue. who did not propose to surrender
himself over to a new race of carpet
baggers, under the designation of colonial
officials. He might migrate to one of the
states, declare his intention to become a
citizen, stay the necessary length Of
time, and then get his citizenship, which
could not very we'll be withheld from
him. Then, indeed on his return home,
would he become a man Of moment
among his friends and kindred. The en-
barrassing situation which such a course
opens up to view is that of the entire
Tagal population migrating, say, to Ne
vada or Utah. and returning to their
own land armed with their certificates of
naturalization, when, Senator Lindsay to
: the contrary, notwithstanding, we would
be compelled to recognize the yet unborn
Taga as a man and a brother
Considering that we not only have made
citizens of our Southern negroes, but
have invested them with the highest
privileges Of American citizenship this
scheme of Withholding citizenship from
the Filipinos, while holding them in
political subsection, is, perhaps, the most
refreshing manifestation which has yet
been given of imperialism in its full
blown state.

ecutive committee, and also having
seat on each of the other two bodies al

New York World.
A stranger appeared in the New York
club house at Long Branch and INDUCED
In a game of roulette. He lost S100 in
as many seconds. Then he went over to
the cashier and asked If his personal
check Of $1,000 would be accepted. He
was politely told that, not being known
to any Of the members" his request
could not be granted. An employee of
another gambling house in the vicinity
happened to be near at the time
why, said the latter, Mr.. Blank is
all right. We would accept his check for
$4,000 at any time"
Thus Endorsed, Mr.. Blank was given
the equivalent of his check in chips He
lost every one of them within short
time and left. A few hours later the New
York clubs cashier became somewhat
skeptical as to Blanks responsibility, and
subsequently went to the First National
bank, upon which the check was drawn,
to make inquiries.
Would you cash Mr.. Blanks check for
$,OoO?' asked the New York's cashier of
the paying teller.
No was the reply, after the books
had been examined. Mr.. Blank has only
$500 to his credit here"
The New York clubs cashier reflected
for moment. A brilliant idea occurred
to him. Taking $500 from his pocket he
handed 1t to the teller, saying: Deposit
this to Blanks account"
The teller, smiling at the gambling
house cashier as much as to say. You're
a wonder" unhesitatngly did as request

The New York's cashier felt in his
pocket for Blanks check. 1t was not
there, nor in any other.
Say. old man." he said to the man be-
hind the grating. I've left the check at
the club. I'll get 1t presently" And he
left.
Ten minutes later the paying teller
went out to lunch, leaving his assistant
in charge. The former did not tell the
latter the little transaction with the man
of the gambling table. A half-hour after
ward while the assistant teller was in
charge, the New York clubs cashier re-
turned to the bank. He rendered the
check for payment.

just a moment too late. The cashier Of
the Pennsylvania club has just been here
and cashed a $1,000 check of Blanks,
thereby drawing out all the money Blank
had with us.
The New York clubs cashier called for
stimulant, an ambulance and a police
man in one breath His clever little
scheme to secure the $500 which Blank
really did have in the bank had complete
