Marie corelli and Men.

Marie Corelli. the once famous
novelist, is preparing to have pub.
lished some. more productions from
her pen. and as her fame has been on
a gradual decline for some time she
takes shy at some notorlety adver-
Using. In some of the Introductory
matter she expresses an alleged con-
tempt and disgust OF men Of
which the following is a sample:
"They have not either courage or
intelligence to fight the world for
themselves, and seeing the fierce
heat Of competition in every branch
OF labor they gladly sneak behind a
woman's petticoats to escape the gen.
eral fray.
when they have secured the ig-
noble end OF their ambition they are
the first to run down woman's work.
woman's privileges, woman's attain
ments and woman's honor"
Marie evidently believes that
women only are privileged to dis
parage the work of their opposite
sex. It is Interesting to note. in
connection with Marie's walls. that
the women writer's OF this country
are treated with high regard by the
men conducting publishing estab-
lishments who manage to find the
money to pay them for their work.

Those Waves Of Crime.

Those Waves of Crime.
A wave Of crime is surging over
New York ana three or four other
cities IN the country. For several
days numerous murders, assaults,
hold-ups, robberies and other crimes
have occurred In such rapid succes-
sion that the police officers and other
authorities OF the cities concerned
have become alarmed and are exer-
cising the utmost vigilance to pre-
vent a continuation OF the awful
epidemic.
From the police authorities in
New York comes an appeal for more
men on the grounds that the force
is inadequate to properly guard and
protect the city and that in its pres
ent condition 1t is Utterly unable to
cope with the excessive criminal OPP
erations throughout the city. The
same complaint comes from one OF
the other cities similarly afflicted
OF course. In such circumstances
perhaps more police officers are need
ed to meet and cope with the spread.
ing evil and to protect the lives and
property q city's people and they
should be provided as hurriedly as
possible. But this is not all. After
checking the present uprisings, which
will be done, measures certainly
must be taken to prevent future
criminal waves.
In the morning newspapers OF to-
day there are dispatches from three
cities telling OF a series of crimes.
They are New York, Chicago and
Dayton. o. In New York woman
and several little girls were assault
ed, one of the latter being. murder
ed. Five assaults in Chicago result
ed In the death Of four. A young
woman was foully murdered and a
male companion fatally wounded in
Dayton. Foreigners principally fig
ure In these crimes. In majority
of instances those arrested for the
crimes are ignorant foreigners of a
low class. a review of the news
dispatches of the last two or three
weeks from the cities afflicted with
these criminal epidemics will show
that majority of the suspects and
arrested persons charged with the
crimes are these vicious, depraved.
ignorant foreigners who are permit
ted entrance into this country be-
cause OF lax Immigration laws.
The writer does not wish to reflect
upon foreigners generally nor upon
the better class OF those who come to
this country from foreign lands. But
there is no question that the lower
element of unedncated peoples who
come here from Italy and other
European countries are menace and
an evil to our country. 1t some.
times strikes person with surprise
that there can be permitted in
civilized European nations such q
lack Of educational facilities, or OF
laws and their enforcement, or such
apparent poverty that is evinced by
some of those miserable wretches
who pour into our great cities from
the lands across the seas.
The nations immigration laws
have been remedied from time to
time within the last several years,
but the remedial adjustments have
not, evidently. been suficient unto
the ends desired. The immigration
problem has not been adjusted yet,
and the efforts to solve 1t to the bet
ter interests of this country have
been too few. The sooner our i'm.
migration laws are made more
stringent than they are now, the bet
ter It will be for all of US.

thoroughly satisfactory treatment
for checking rot in potatoes is yet to be
found. What has proved best in my
experience Is, first, keeping the storage
cellar at temperature as near 30 to
81 degrees as possible; second. sorting
the potatoes after they have completed
their sweat In case any indication OF
wet rot is shown to prevent the rot
spreading from the decaying tubers tc
the sound ones Dry rot is very rarely

another, according to writer In Or

If the potatoes are left In pits I'm the
field to sweat prior to putting them in
the cellar they will usually show rot
that may be I'm them when they are
taken from the pit. Potatoes which
are nearly clean OF dirt usually show
more rapid spread of the wet rot than
do potatoes which are covered with n
considerable coating OF dry soil. Posi-
bly, the reason for this may he the fact
that the dry soil Is not n good medium
for passage of the rot from one potato
TO another.
