Sometimes the Missouri river gets
tired of its old bed and moves to a
new one. That is what it has done at
Yankton, S. d. Formerly the town
was on the river; now it is a mile
away. Government engineers began
work a few days ago in an effort to
induce the river to go back to its old
bed and thus once more make Yank-
ton a river town. Moving a river a
mile is rather an ambitious job.

A New York preacher, speaking of
the Wilmington, Del, lynching, says
that in that city there are a number
of white men who are guilty of the
same crime that was committed by
the black man who was lynched in
Wilmington. If that is true, then so
much worse for the moral tone of New
York. But we hesitate to believe that
New York is so stepped in horrid crime
that she will not denounce in the most
vigorous terms offenses against law
and woman's honor for the reason
that many of her own people are
guilty Of those offenses.

Secretary of the Navy Moody had
occasion recently to go to one of the
bureaus of his department for some
information. His visit was about l
p. m. He found nobody in the office
who could give him the information he
desired. Upon inquiry he ascertained
that it was the custom for the officers
and clerks to go on duty about 8
O'Clock, leave at noon for lunch, return
to duty at 2:30 and quit for the day at
a o'clock, making about four hours and
half for days work. The Secretary
says he will see to it that the hours of
to 4 are observed, with only half an
hour for lunch. But how does he eX-
pect to keep the clerks busy? 1t has
been asserted that there is not a de-
partment in Washington but has twice
as many clerks as it actually needs. In
some of them the clerks have difficulty
in keeping out of each others way.

Two of the six persons wounded in
the Richmond street car strike riot the
other day were boys. The only person
in that Wilmington Del) lynching
mob to be injured was boy. He has
since died. 1t is said that both in
Richmond and Wilmington there were
many boys of tender years in the
crowds, taking quite as prominent
part in the demonstrations as their
elders. That mere children are to be
found in the front at such times of
excitement is very good evidence of
the laxity with which they are held in
control. The fault rests largely upon
the shoulders of parents. Many par
ents are apparently absolutely care
less as to the whereabouts of their
boys, or the company they keep. it is
perilous enough for adults to be on the
streets at times of great excitement.
Children should be kept at home.

cHILD-sAvINe LEAGUE.

TOO MUCH CANNOT be said in
praise of a movement that has been
started by philanthropic men and
women in the Pas-de-CaIais district of
France For many years the infant
mortality in this district has been
frightful The statistics show that out
of every two babies born one has died.
That is, fifty per cent of the infants
have died during the first year of their
existence. This is just double the in
FAINT mortality for the whole of France.
which is higher than that Of any other
nation, being 200 to 300 per 1000.
The philanthrOpists referred to have
banded themselves in a league for the
purpose Of saving the children. How
well they have succeeded is evidenced
by the fact that during the last year,
cut of 100 babies born. only one died.
Details of the work being done show
that each child born Of poor parents
receives. at the time of its birth, a
box of serviceable linen. The parents
are given assistance In the form of
coal. bread and meat
When the mothers are unable to feed
their children. bottles of pasteurized
milk, sterilized one hour after it has
been drawn from the cow. are fur
nished without charge. Nor does the
assistance stop at the end Of the first
Few days or weeks. Mothers and chill
dren are taken care of for four or FIVE
months. especially when the former
are compelled to work in the fields or
elsewhere to aid in supporting the
family. This. indeed. has been one Of
the prime causes of the great mortal
ity percentage.
Women. still weak from the effects
of child bearing, have been forced to
return to their work long before they
were physically able to perform any
labor. The result has been that the
children received but scant attention.
The league is putting an end to that
sort of thing very rapidly. and all
France is applauding its efforts. New
members are being added all the time,
and it is thought that before long the
movement will have spread all over the
biggest European republic.
And while we are on the subject. it
is surprising that there are not sim
liar leagues in this country. Here is
an opportunity such as rarely comes
to genuine philanthropists. In Salt
Lake, blessed as it is, to a generous ex-
tent. by material prosperity. hundreds
OF children die every year that might
be saved. Born amid squalid sur
roundings, unattended, uncared for be-
cause of poverty, their stay on earth
is small, and every moment is a mo-
ment of anguish for them.
A little money and a little effort
would make the saving of many lives
possible. The good work cannot be
started too promptly.

ton habit has become and how people
are ready on almost any occasion TO
rush into court for an injunction. 4
certain father Gislil1ed a young man
who was counting his daughter The
girl differed materially from the views
Of her father and as the old man did
not feel strong enough to lick the young
fellow. he concluded to invoke the aid
Of the law and with the utmost gravity
went into court and asked for an in
junction restraining the young man
from counting the young lady. For a
wonder, the writ was refused, probably
on constitutional grounds, but the old
mars ground for petition was not more
ridiculous than that on which many an
injunction has been granted during late
years.
The growing custom IS something OF
a menace. 1t is easy to imagine that
the time is not far distant when one
judge viii enjoin another judge for en-
joining somebody when the second
judge can come back and enjoin the
first judge from enjoining him. This
might go on forever. so far as reaching
conclusion is concerned, without the
case coming TO a trial
To some the power of indiscrim-
mate injunction would be welcome. For
instance. it is not hard to understand
that Cottrell and Fernstrom would be
glad to have City Attorney Nye en-
joined from prosecuting his libel suit
against them. Then, perhaps. Nye could
enjoin them from making any defense
to his charges and they might get back
by enjoining him from Introducing any
evidence in his own behalf. and there
you are with the endless chain again.
1t is thus easy to see where. our juris-
prudence is going TO bring up unless
judges become more chary OF the in
junction writ.

bitten by a large snake. He tells of his
experience like this:

the snake lying right in my path. / got
down off my horse and stamped on the
snake till 1 thought it was dead. Ny

The INJuncrIoN HABIT.

THAT THE INJUNCTION HABIT is
growing in this country there can
be no doubt. There was a time when
an injunction was looked upon as a
tearsome thing. not to be invoked ex-
cept in cases Of the utmost gravity, but
I'm these latter days lnjunctions have
become common as turnips. One of the
latest. something in the way of a now
city it is, too, was a case in Lincoln,
Neb., where the attorneys for a con-
demned murderer. who had been once
reprieved. sought to enjoin the sheriff
from performing the execution. but be-
fore the proceedings could be shaped
up the murderer was hanged. This is
a rather unusual case. but it serves to
show how prevalent is the injunction
habit. it has got so that attorneys can
go into almost any court and on almost
any pretext get an injunction against
anybody or anything and by the aid Of
the law sometimes succeed in tying up
vast enterprises to the great financial
loss of the people operating them. The
Injunction is a dangerous weapon un-
less used with discretion and fairness
and there seems to be a disposition on
the part OF iurists all over the country
to use the power of the injunction a
trine too lavishly.

Advice to YOUNG Mothers.

Teething-All children are subject to
fits of dependency while cutting their
teeth and no effort should be spared to
take their minds off their trouble. They
should be well supplied with light fic-
ton and given an occasional bath. It
is now generally conceded by those
who have studied the question that the
old-fashioned rattlss and hard rubber
rings are not well suited to teething
babies. A small piece of brick or a
lump OF anthracite coal does much
better. To this should be attached a
stout string. the loose end of the string

be recovered in the event the child

ment Of commerce and labor shows that
over $50, 100000 worth of diamonds, and
other precious stones, were brought

the bulk OF which no doubt are used
