claims that the policy Of Social De-
m me rrflt1s would save the situation. We
would think however. that dreams of
a German invasion of Great Britain
would not be taken seriously for any
purpose whatever.
Someone has suggested that with the
coming of the airship era. such amin
#yasion would be practicable A hundred
thousand Wright machines, 1t has been
said watching their chances for a fav-
orable wind, could transport half u
million men from Germany 10 the heart
of England, with a loss by mishap less
In proportion than the old Danes used
to suffer when they made their land
ings from their boats, But we have
hardly come to that point vet that
armies can fly from one country to an
other, carrying with them all the
implements necessary for modern war
fare, What the future will bring, is
a different question.

INVADING ENGLAND.

The world is fond of war rumors.
London papers are now exercised over
the surmises OF one II, NJ Hyndman,
a Socialist, recently expressed In form
of a prediction that IL German Anglo
war Is imminent.
The gentleman is of the opinion that
every department of Germany's nation
al defense is preparing for war with
England in no other way can
the activity in the army and naval
departments be explained. He sees III
this activity German plan to hazard
naval engagement in the North sea,
TO be followed by an invasion of sew
teral points with an army of 200 900
men. England, he declares, has no
force which could meet this army, and
aid from the colonies would be cut off
by the German control of the sea. He
adds that Germany, for years, has had
spies carefully examining all the points
of vantage in the counties likely to be
straversed by German troops, carrying
on a regular investigation Of such pre-
parations for resistance as are being
made In Great Britain,
Generally such forecasts of calam-
lily are made by per9ons interested in
The. enlargement Of n tvies and armies,
but this time it's nd, MI. Hyndman

EMPLOYMENT BUREAUS.

Those who are enthusiastic for NUM-
cipal ownership of various utilities
should look into the municipal employ
ment bureau plan that is said to have
been put into operation in all the prin-
8 cipal cities of Alsace- Lorraine. 1t is
said to work excellently5 and to be pro-
ductiye Of the very best results.
The plan is described to a New York
paper by gentleman from Strasburg.
The mission of these bureaus is to find
work for all who are able and willing
Z to work, and no fee is charged for this
service. The gentleman quoted says
that they found that private employ
3inent bureaus often tend to shift labor
from one employer to another, for the
purpose, OF course, of Keeping q certain
number of men and women constantly
idle. If there were no idlers the bu-
reaus could not exist. While the idea
of the municipal employment bureau is
to keep every man and woman who
stantly.
The municipalities employ directors
for these bureaus who are familiar with
the conditions existing in various trades
and who know the demands of the diff
ferent local employers Well enough to-
pick out workers who can fill them.
The right worker Is sent whenever pos
sible to the place where he is most like
~ to fit, and very few complaints come
y back from either side.
The scheme. it Is claimed, has re-
duced the number of idle men to
minimum in all of the cities and towns.
Whatever can be done consistently by
municipalities to assist men In finding
profitable employment is effort we'll APP
Piled. It is not impossible that we in
this country have many things 10 learn
In Europe, just as the Europeans have

SUPPRESS THE EVIL.

Attorney General Breeder is abso-
lutely correct in his statement to the
News'' that it is the duty Of the
City authorities to uphold the City
ordinances and suppress the red-lght
district. The existence of such dis
trict has been forced upon their at
@tention by protesting citizens They
can hardly refuse to Take some ac-
ton To disclaim responsibility for it
Is hypocrisy and sham, as long as the
traffic, contrary to law, Dis made a
source OF income to the City.
That district together with an ex-
orbitant municipal Indebtedness is
an inheritance from time Of
\ reins of the City were, by some
( means or other, placed In unworthy
hands From the day of the found
Ing of the City, till that time the
government was honestly and econ
omically administered. The City was
n model. 1t shall not be denied that
4 evils of u social nature at times en-
isted, but they were exceptional. They
were, in fact. SO rare that the Trib-
the kind OF liberty" 1t hoped TO in
trotiuce. very much as BALKAN sug-
gested that Israel be made to tres
pass, for its own destruction This
advice was. unfortunately, acted upon.
sand$in 1891 the conditions became SO
intolerable that mass meetings We're
called in the various churches to
protest against tile granting of any
more licenses to saloons and Ode
niand that the existing laws against
gambling houses, brothes. the SELL
ing Of liquor to minors, and Sunday
selling be strictly enforced"
The evil has existed ever since,
more or less openly, But with the ad
vent Of the first American admins
istlation considerable influx OF fall
len creatures again occurred. The
evil was no longer confined to one
street. 1t flowed over. The prn-
cipal business streets were invaded. |
The party appealed to the members Of
churches for votes on tho promise
that reforms We're to be inaugur-
ated. That Is how the promises were
kent.
# We hope the City authorities now,
when the matter has been brought |
attention, will see the neces-
sitg Of taking the only action they
can take under the law. In that they
viii be sustained. not BY he Tribune,
but by all decent citizens.

AMERICAS CORN CROP.
Boston Globe.

traveller returned to his native
Omaha, has been telling how he found
on his journey around the world 131
products of American corn. These were
not all preparations for consumption
as food. but included many articles OF
manufacture for mechanical use. This
is not new discovery, but it calls
attention anew to the fact that the
United States produces tWo-thirds Of
the thousands of millions of bushels OF
corn that constitute the worlds crop,
and three-tifths of the entire crop of
the United States are produced in the
six states, Illinois. Iowa, Kansas, Ne
hraska, Missouri and Indiana. In ex-
change for the animals which the old
world gave to the new, the new world
gave to the old d group of vegetables,
the value of which as food is beyond
any possible calculation, and among
these products of the soil was corn.
The richest possession, indeed, that
Columbus carried to Spain on his first
return voyage, If he had but known It,
were the first grains of corn that were
brought into Europe.

READING IN BED SOMETIMES
BENEFICIAL.

- 4 ID Il # r
Reading IN bed, like most luxures,
can be overdone: in fact there seems
to be only one excuse for this fascinat-
ing way of ending the day Certain
people find that their worries accumu-
late in their brains after bedtime; their
nerves are at high tension and their
minds are actively at work trying to
solve problems that should have been
left behind in the city. Going to bed
with the brain in such state means
that with nothing to distract the
thoughts, hearing nothing and seeing
nothing In the darkness Imagination
has full sway and hours OF wakefulness
may be the result Such man, we
think, will find half all hours reading
in bed a great help. With careful at
tention paid to the quality and position
of the light SO that without flickering
1T shines over the shoulder and directly
on to the page the much maligned hab-
1t of reading in bed has sometimes a
very beneficial effect on a tired and
4overwakeful brain.

that he had learned more concerning
Rome from American books than he

first Visit to see his old parents he
had taken them to see the catacombs
and other sights about Rome that had
quite amazed the venerable couple.

a Loaded Woman.

An elderly patient in the Tennessee
mountain region was suffering from d
malady the remedy for which the doc
tor prescribed in the form of capsules.
The old woman trusted her medical
adviser, but for the medicine she
evinced much suspicion.
Some time after she had taken the
capsules she was asked by her son
how she felt.
Poorly"
Don't you want nuthin to eat?'
No"
Soon, however, the old woman arose
from her bed and took her se3t in IL
rocking chair. Thinking that the at
stention would be gratefully received,
the son filed her pipe and taking a
live coal from the hearth carried both
to his mother

old woman IN the utmost fright.
