the career Of Miss Anna Morgan.

Miss Morgan is beautiful. talented.

thing that goes with great wealth.
In vain. Social triumphs failed to
satisfy this woman Of heart and
brains.
What thoughts came to her! Did
she. or did Helen Gould before her.
think of how her great opportunity was
brought about? However that may be-
Helen Gould gave up society to do q
woman's work in the world.
She discovered within two stones
throw Of her palatial home worn and
weary women who stopped, thin shoul-
ders and wan faces. over grimy cigar
benches. making cigars at unseemly
hours under insanitary surroundings
and for paltry wages.
In extending her investigations Miss
Morgan discovered the dock laborers
at the Brooklyn navy yard. 700 OF
them.
These men work at exhaustive Ia.
Dor for long hours. Their hard con.
ditions stirred the pity OF Miss Nor
gan.
Now she has completed a large res
taurant. where the laborers get sub
stantial meals properly cooked, well
served, at cost.
Miss Morgan's theory is that "a man
well fed is already a halfway moral
man. She has learned to look below
tn rough exterior Of the laborers
She talks with them. visits In theil
poor homes. and woe betide the boss
who abuses one Of the men!
This fine woman laughs at the cal
of society. She says she is much hap
pier In her ministry. Like Heller
Gould, she does not intend to marry
but continue in her work.
Well, does not this rather prove
again the saying Of the moralists about
the supremacy Of the soul over mate

TnE KING AND TuK NAB.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

This is a love story in real life Of q
king who gave up his kingdom for the
sake of maid.
To be sure, it wasn't much of king
dom, consisting mostly OF phosphate
rocks. But be was monarch Of all he
surveyed-except when the phosphate
trust issued an order from London.
John Davis Murray is the name Of
the ex-king. He graduated a few years
ago at Purdue university, Indiana. and
went out to the Christmas islands. in
the Pacific ocean, to seek his fortune.
John got to be very popular with the
natives OF the three tight little islands,
and they made him king.
He was a sort of George Ade-comic-
opera style of king. with q standing
army about the size Of q corporal's
guard and a gorgeously gilded throne,
and issued DEGREES written on both
sides Of sheet Of foolscap, with an
imperial seal as big as your fist.
All the same NJ was king-under the
phosphate trust.
He might have married a whole
harem Of savage beauties and founded
the dynasty of the house of Murray.
But
Here is the romance on the top Of
romance: He turned his back on his
empire. doffed his crown. went to Lon
don and-for love-married Margaret
McMicken, a sweet Irish lass.
The king got acquainted with Marga-
ret when he was loafing around Lon
don town on q kingly vacation.

PUBLICITY.

PUBLICITY.
"A great remedy-possibly the REM
edy-for strikes and troubles between
capital and labor. is publicity. 1t is
not . great comfort after all. that
publicity is the great remedy for pub
lie wrong. or private wrong for that
matter? Why is 1t? Because the
majority Of people in this world. de-
spite all ancient theological teachings,
want to do what is right"
This is a statement made by Presi-
dent Eliot Of Harvard before class
in Economics. He might have and
probably did go farther.
Publicity is effective not only be-
cause majority of the people care
to do what Is right-but because those
who want to do what is wrong, have
fear that what they are going to do
will be found out. Publicity acts both
ways; It rights the wrongs OF those
who are innocent and turns the light
on those dealings which. though out
wardly fair and beautiful to behold,
are filled with sinister design
Publicity is Of many sorts. Zinc
tured publicity" is far more dangerous
than no publicity at all. Tinctured
publicity only gives one side OF the
case. These newspapers which make
their whole issues one large political
religious or other sort of tract
however good their intentions, fail In
the end to attain what simpler
method might gain. If the attempt is
so noticeable that the reader says
''Oh that Is the policy"-the paper has
failed because the information is dis
counted. The other sort Of publicity
is that which merely states the fact
reserving editorial comment for the
natural and normal channels.
An English commentator not long
since pointed out that there had been
man in England read editorials. He
said that now instead OF reading edi-
and formed their own opinions. But
he also said that those papers which
\ tinctured their news columns were
losing even that grip on the public
mind. He went on to say that as soon
as the public realized that the news
columns OF paper had been trans
ferred and their editorial writer's
turned over to the news columns in
an attempt to regain their hold on
the people. there would be reaction
to the editorial column as the legiti-
mate place for comment on facts
And this Is growing tendency in this
country.
AS a matter of fact every newspa-
per man knows that there is a greater
danger to the public point of view. in
the presentation of facts in a biased
WY tndu tHeFe ever was from any
amount OF editorial comment. The
editorial is discounted by being of a
personal bias--frankly an expression
OF opinion-but the news story bears
at least the outward form of being un-
trammeled by manipulation. This is
also changing.
II publicity is the cure for the evils
which Or. Eliot has pointed QUIT
must be real publicity.
The day Of effectiveness OF tinctur-
ed news IS over.
Newspapers all over the country
are returning to q saner and more
honest standard. The matchmaking
