A Defcnse OF Cnnid.

When learned ladies' discourse
upon love we invarIbly pay strict at
tention and find much advantage IN
so dolng--,less, we confess. on ac-
count OF the instruction thus ac-
quired than from the opportunity TO
study the subtlety with which barbs
are forged for sisters not so fully en-
dowed with knowledge.
IL was with no little Zest, there
fore. that we opened n contemporary
periodical bearing on It's title page
the name OF such one as the
author of an essay headed interrog-
atively, "Is Cupid Convention" ."
Assuming that the name OF the god
was utilized chiefly 10 attract no.
tice. and that the discourse would be
upon the thing itself some dlsap-
pointment met the discovery that
the sole purpose OF the learned lady
was TO make protest against COM
partive dominance OF the tender
passion In modern fctlon.
Briefly, as we make her out, N the
writer had the construction of our
novels. she would eliminate love as
a motive, or even as an incidental
feature, upon the ground that Il has
ceased 10 be substantial influence.
In fact, no longer holds, except for
the adolescent, any appreciable In
terast
Womanlike, and for no particular
purpose that we can discover, other
perhaps. than to Justify a striking
title, the author opens her rugged
essay with an attack upon the god
himself that seems 10 us little short
OF scurrilous.
Are we not obsessed." she cries
impntiently in the very first para
garph, by an exaggerated worship?
This tat child with ribbon on
wingleted, ana sometimes mfelicit-
ousiy crowned with a silk hat--is ne
not largely convention, poetic and
pictOriale"
Now, quite aside from this repre-
hensible tlippancy In treating of even
a pagan diety. the serious misrepre-
sentation conveyed hy such a de-
scription merits stern rebuke. The
true Eros symholiged much more
than mere sickly sentimentalty. as
hlnt5d by the learned lady: 10 the
Spartans and Cretans he was the
god of patriotism or love of country,
and as such was accorded secrifces
previous TO the commencement OF a
battle
Moreover, so far from belna n
chubby boy ridiculously and, 10 our
nicer modern vision. inappropriately
cold, he was represented as 1.-the OF
limb and graceful OF form, model
of ripenlng Nouth-unQuestionably
the most attractive figure in the
Attic school OF sculpture. As the
god OF the love that operates In ma
ture. he had participated i'm the cre-
alton of the world out OF chaos. and
consequently occupied position
higher than that OF HIS FELLOW die
ties, because Il was he who swayed
their passions no less than those OF
men, To depict him, then, as a lit
tie huffoon, as he appears I'm our
comic papers, or as a mere trickster
OF human hearts. as he Is found up
ON silly valentines, is unworthy of
even learned lady apparently pre-
ludiced In favor OF her own sex.
But this only in passing; We hold
no brief for the "shirtless darling" +"
cupid; nor need we. nor any one;
the very armor of his recognised at |
tributes constitutes an impregnahle
defense against attacks from what |
ever source.-George Harvey in
North American Review.

the preparation of munitions on

Activities have increased re-
markedly at Mare Island navy

ployed in the magazines has been
increased from half a dozen to al

Each cruiser and warship arriv-
ing is being equipped with a full

fit for the voyage, has been order

of mines and other war materials.

STRIKE POLICE
PUT ON DUTY

Because Of the boilermakers
strike the Northern Pacific has Sc
cured consent of Police Commits

Joseph and Thomas Ramsbury as
special policemen to do guard duty
at the shops. City Clerk Fleming
swore the men in and they are now
on duty.
Company officials admit that no
danger Of any sort from the
strikers is apprehended. The spe.
Gals are represented as being ep.
ployed on the remote possibility OF
trouble If strike breakers are put
to work.
The boilermakers laugh at pre-
caution of this sort. They say they
have not dreamed OF violence in
connection with the strike. Conf.

they have settled down to wait
ing game, which they figure must
end in their favor when the shops
become filed up with repair work
that must be done in order to keep
the trains running To secure
strikebreakers will be impossible,
it is argued, as all boilermakers

BOYS ARE SHANcHAlED
BY THE JAPS

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. FL
Returning after long cruise in the
north, r. Garcia, of 215 Broadway,
who claims that he was shanghaied
out OF this port, arrived yesterday
on the ship Lucille from Ugashik.
According to the Garcia lad, he
was approached by a Japanese on
April % OF this year, who asked
him to secure 20 Spanish boys to
work in the canneries. Garcia was
promised SIS a head for each boy.
and the youths VINO consented to
make the trip were to receive $40
advance money.
Only Is boys were recruited by
Garcia, but he placed them aboard
the Lucille as she lay in the stream.
While aboard the ship the boat
which had carried the lads to the
ship made for the shore and Garcia
found himself prisoner on board.
Half an hour after the Lucille
sailed for the north and neither
Garcia nor any OF the Is boys he
brought aboard ever received a
cent of the promised advance.
Upon his arrival yesterday = the
Garcia boy declared that he would
attempt to bring his shanghaiers
to justice.

With nothing with which to de-

tempted flight, but the animals,
with more wolf than dog blood In

Death was but matter of mo-
