dred." said Mr.. Hugh McRitchie. OF San
Francisco
Noticing an unusually large number Of
small houses which displayed the sign to
let,' I made inquiry as to the cause of the
numerous vacant cottages. My inquiries
were soon answered: the reason lay in the
heavy migration of people of the working
class to Canada. j found out that of late
days thousands of Scotchmen had said
adieu to their native land and gone to Man.

to make permanent homes.
Nearly all the emigration from Great
Britain now Is directed toward Canada.
The time was when there was a heavy
yearly exodus to Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa and other British colonies. but
comparatively few seek those lands now.

constantly on the increase. The great at

The first fatal automobile accident in this
city. which occurred yesterday. shows that
all forms OF modern rapid transit involve
liability TO such accidents. In this case
was running at a high rate of speed or not,
but the interurban car was probably run
ming faster than the law allows. The acct
dent seems to have been due to the fact
that the attention OF the automoblist was
fixed on a car moving in one direction.
while the one that struck the vehicle came
from the opposite direction. The accident
might have happened TO a carriage, or even
TO a pedestrian. and is one that can only
be guarded against by vigilance

The sensational correspondents who have
news regarding the alleged Irregularities
in the general Postofice Department are
now beginning to attack Postmaster Gen.
eral Payne because he said he expected
some of them will be called upon to testify
what they know about the alleged scandals.
One Of them says this will be considered
as an effort to hold club over the news
papers," and adds, loftily: mo correspond
ent in his right mind who has any regard
for the ethics of the profession will ever
give away the source of his information,
and Mr.. Bristow has no power to compel
the giving of such testimony" Fair-minded
men will say the postmaster general is en-
tirely right in trying to get correspondents
who have professed to know so much con-
corning the affairs of the department to
tell what they really do know. If they
know half as much as they have wired
to the papers they represent they could
throw a great deal of light on the situation
and contribute materially to the success Of
the investigation. They ought to be willing
to do this for the public welfare, and even
to give the sources Of their information.
If the information on which they have
based their sensational dispatches was true
their informants should have no objection
to fathering it, and If it was false the cor
respondents ought to wish that to appear.
1.-The ethics of the profession" do not re-
quire any newspaper man to stick to lie
| after 1t has been proved such, nor to shield
| the liar. 1.-The ethics of the profession"
should prevent correspondent from send
ing out highly colored, grossly exaggerated,
sensational dispatches based on scraps of
| information obtained from irresponsible
sources, and when an investigation is or
dered the senders of such dispatches ought
to face the music and not try to hide behind
| the assumption that statements made to
newspaper men are privileged communica-
tons. They are not. Newspaper men are
under the same moral and legal obligations
to give the sources Of their information. il
the inquiry is made in a proper spirit and
for public purposes, that other people are.

President Roosevelt after he retires from
the presidential Office in 1909. A Boston
proposition is to make him president of
Harvard, this position being considered in
that neighborhood one OF far more distinc-

The defects OF the warship Maine are not
errors OF construction, but of design. The
builders are all right. but II seems the de-
signers made mistakes. There are men
who will attribute these mistakes TO the in
efficiency and lack of experience of the
designers of our warshfps, each OF which
presents a new problem; but the most ex-
perienced of constructors. Great Britain
has the same difficulty. The Implacabls
returned from her trial in a much worse
plight than did the Maine from her-trip

allowance for the greater recoil of the

The exhibition to be given at Tomlinson
Hall for two weeks, beginning April q,
promises to be unique, interesting and USE
full. The development and present flourish
ing condition of literature in Indiana have
been harped upon to a somewhat tiresome
degree, but comparatively little has been
said about the growth of art, yet there has
been a development hardly less marked
One does not think Of early Indianians as
given to aesthetic pursuits. yet in their
busy lives they cherished tastes that oc-
casionally found expression through the
means of brush or pencil In gathering to-
gether examples of these isolated efforts
the Flower Mission organization has done
a praiseworthy thing. The pictures and
objects so collected may not be artistic in
the highest sense, but they have the real
interest and value that belong to the work
of past generations who were feeling their
way, and they mark progress. The extern
sive display of the work Of the modern In
diana artists will at once show the advance
that has been made and the difference in
methods.
In addition to the pictures and of even
greater Importance will be the exhibit of
arts and crafts. One or two exhibits of
this character which have been given at
the high schools were extremely interest
ing and showed what can be done in this
lne With all of the artistic handiwork
that is being done in Indiana schools and
by individuals in their own studios an es-
pecially fine display should be made. Much
labor has been involved in preparing for
this exhibition, but the interest it is at
tracing indicates that the efforts will be
repaid. Its proceeds will go to the Flower
Mission treasury, which has been much de-
pleted by the demands upon it during the
winter. The Mission is now getting in
readiness for it's summer work in the care
of sick children. and hopes for round
sum an outcome Of the picture exhibit
The public will doubtless see that it is not
disappointed.

tending parties to get possession of the
young mans property. but the public does
not. The fact that a man is insane, as
young Chase undoubtedly is. does not d.
vest him of property to which he was
legally entitled before he became insane.
No court can divest him OF his property.
nor can he convey or beaueath IT. Proba-

we are lacking in this respect cites a state

gives as evidence Of this the fact that

funny that such thing should be said. but
really there was no occasion for the author
of Literary Boston to have her sense of

In connection with review Of the new
volume of Carlyle letters, a New York
paper publishes a portrait Of Jane Carlyle
which conveys the impression that she was
not the injured angel her emotional female
friends and admirers would have US be-
lieve, but that Thomas may have had ex-
cuse for his Feasibility. To put 1t plainly,
Jane looks like a 'nagger." Surely that
peculiar countenance, with its cold eyes,
it's pointed nose and long upper lip, explains
many things in the tempestuous family life.
Speaking of portraits, the current issue of
the North American Review offers one of
Henry James which is likely to satisfy
those who like his books and, therefore,
have friendly interest in the author. 9th
er portraits of Mr.. James have shown a
rather detected looking gentleman OF
somewhat heavy countenance. This pic
tured face, keen, alert, with a penetrating
eye and an expression half satirical, half
humorous, is that of a thorough man OF

Knew" 1.-THE Wings Of the Dove" and the
host of other psychological studies.
