Nowhere is this more needed than
in civic affairs. Public sentiment is the
great motive power after all which con.
trolls affairs in this country. Here
comes i'm the necessity of home training.
When children are generally taught that
the common good is of paramount i'm.
portancc, and that its maintenance de.
ponds largely IN them, then there will
be better order, and more tidy streets.
In Belgium It Is very rare to see any
paper or litter upon the streets. Thy
children are taught to regard rlcleanl'.
ness of every foim as unpatriotic. The

the north, freed of personal responsible.
tiles, have been slow to comprehend.
1t has to do with the whole social
fabric. The black men, as a body, are
ignorant and sensual in their tendencies.
They are not agreeable neighbors. They
are immoral. Many homes of the white
people have been ruined by them.
This latest outbreak of the whites was
rapine committed by a negro. 1t is no
isolated case. Every thoughtful man
can appreciate what n frenzy any com.
munity would be thrown into when the
peace and honor OF one of its homes were
destroyed in a single hour and death of
quiet families resulted, all because of
the baseness of creatures too vile to live.
When such scenes are repeated through
a long series of years, the a~ggravation
becomes more acute and Indignation is
turned into stolid and abiding hate.
1t is to the credit of the southern press
and many of its public men, that mob
law and lynchings are condemned, but
nevertheless, in the rural districts under
the provocations as stated, they con.
tinue.
The problem in the south in regard to
the negro, like that in the Philippines,
cannot be evaded.
Unless law can displace mobs unless
courts can rule-not lynching parties
unless the home life of innocent people
can be protected from the assaults of the
depraved-base blacks or whites, then
it will have to be admitted that Anglo
Saxon civilization is a failure and a
farce.
THE southern problem is in evil
dence more forcefully today thar ever
before.
The north has already learned that
the giving of political power to the
blacks settled nothing.
The treatment must be pursued along
broader lines than that.
There should be no liberation of base.
ness on the part of the blacks. There
should be swift condemnation of savag.
cry, manifested by the whites. Some
where there should be power enough
exerted to put a stop to the constant re.
currence of these crimes which make us
blush and tremble for the future. At
the same time a greater spirit of help.
fulness and sympathy should be shown
these people, both black and white, and
the whole country should share the bur.
den which is upon them, and strive to
enlighten their mind, and alleviate their
m~isfortunes.
The situation calls first of all for
prompt enforcement of law against all
who Violate it, regardless of race or col,
or, and that needs to be followed by
patient, persistent we'll doing, which
will result in a better public sentiment,
and saner living.
1t cannot be brought about in a mo.
ment but it can be brought about.

Myriads of the Insects O~vertaken by
Cold Perish on the Ice.
There are many remarkable glaciers in
that part Of the Rocky mountain uplift that
crosses the southern border of Montana. A
part Of this region has hitherto been I'M
mapped and it's more elevated portions were
unvisited and unnamed until last summer,
when a geological party piloted the way up
the mountains and discovered some of the
largest glaciers in the temperate regions OF
the western world. Here rises Granite peak,
which, according to Mr.. Gannett, Is the
eliminating point Of Montana, IL, 1924 feet
high.
Among the glaciers found in these noun
tains and recently described by James p.
Kimball is Grasshopper glacier. which de-
rives its name from the enormous quantity
Of grasshopper remains that are found on
and in the glacier. Periodically the grass
hoppers that thrive in the prairie to the
north take their flight southwark and must
needs cross the mountains. Their favorite
route seems to be across this wide glacier
and in the passage scores of thousands OF

fall helpless upon the snow and are finally
entombed in the ice. In the course Of time
billions of them have been the victims of
this glacier. They are, Of course, carried by
the ice river down into the valley and de-
| posted at the melting edge of the ice, and
Mr.. Kimball says that thousands of tons of
grasshopper remains are the principal ma
terial at the lower edge Of the glacier. We
hear very often of rocks and sand as form
Ing the terminal moraine of glaciers, but
here is a glacier whose principal morainal
material is grasshoppers.
These insect remains are washed out Of
the Ice in burrows wherever the SUMS heat
has groc we'd the surface into runlets of de-
scending water. The g~rasshoppers permeate
the glacier from top to bottom. No frag-
ment Of ice can be broken so small as not to
contain remains. Most Of the insects have
been reduced TO a coarse powder and the
| burrows Of them washed out by the runlets
and naturally disposed in parallel lines are
very dark in color.

The impressions of Mr.. Zangwill upon see

Peloni, a quaint adventurer and regenera-

While the little monument was building,
and the men were coming to and fro In
boats, Peloni made friends with the Indians,
the smoke wreaths Of whose lodges lowered
across the river, and he picked up a little
Of their language. Also he explored his
island, drawn by the crescendo roar OF
Niagara. 1t was at Burnt Island bay that
he had his first, II distant, view of the falls
themselves. The rapids, gurgling and
plunging with foam and swirl and eddy,
quickened his blood, but the cataracts dis
