The dead Belgian king could have asked nothing more than that silence con- corning him should follow his death If he is mentioned at all the truth should be told-and the truth is that he was directly responsible for the Congo horrors. which make the black est page in the history of modern civ ilization. It is better for the world in every way. that Leopold has gone to his reward.

A Party of Ten Will Start Today on
 the lono Trip.

A party of ten motorists expect d grand old time today. They are all going to Roosevelt. The motorists planned to start at daylight today and return tomorrow.
 Nearly every man will carry with him an extra quart of gasoline as the tanks usually contain about five quarts which will probably just about last the distance. The speed will be that of the slOwest machine as no one will be left behind. All of the machines will keep within sight of each other the whole distance and if there are any breakdowns the cavalcade will stop till the machine is in running order again.
 The men expect to reach Roosevelt at 1 o'clock. They will inspect the dam and enjoy themselves during the day and start back at sunrise Mon day morning The men who are going and the machines they will take are as follows:

SINAI AND CAVALRY.

There are two mountains hallowed by majesty sublime, Which rear their crests unconquered Above the floods of time. Uncounted generations
 Have gazed on them with awe The mountain of the gospel, The mountain of the law. From Sinai's cloud of darkness The vivid lightnings play. They serve the God of vengeance, The Lord who shall repay, Each fault must bring its penance, Each sin the averaging blade, For God upholds in justice The laws that He hath made. But Calvary stands to ransom The earth from utter loss In shade than light~more glorious The shadow of the cross. To heal the sick world's trouble, To soothe its woe and pain, On Cavalry's sacred summit, The Paschal Lamb was slain. Almight God direct us
 To keep Thy perfect law, O blessed Saviour, help us Nearer to Thee to draw Let Sinai's thunders aid us To guard our feet from sin And Cavalry's light inspire us The love of God to win.

In Woman's Own Hands,

Nobody, man or woman. has suc- ceeded in going more directly to the heart of the equal suffrage question than has Mrs. l.. H. Harris, in an in cidental allusion to it in story in the latest Saturday Evening Post To state both clearly and tersely, and at the same time with exactness. the basic facts which underlie a problem Is gift which few writers possess. For this reason it is worth while to quote the paragraph to which we re- fer:
 It IS clearly no use to tear around so about womens rights and their wrongs. The nature of them remains the same. They are not really happy except when vitally dissolved in the life of their husbands and children. What they need is better breed of husbands. And this can be had with a little early training of boy chil- dren more easily than they can man. age the things they are now after and are soon to get without getting satis- faction"
 Women ought to have the ballot. because it is ethically right that they should have it. But when they get it they will be disappointed They will find that mans selfishness remains the same. The American women who want the ballot are actuated mainly by ethical considerations. Without any grievances. of moment. they are interested in the abstract question domestic life of the average American family is on higher and more har- monious plane than anywhere else in the world. The women of all nations concede that the American husband is the best of all, and foreign women envy American wives. This is not to say that there are not thousands of homes in which the husband is a selfish cuss and trial to live with But by and large. the American man averages pretty satisfactorily. In England, on the other hand. which. is the storm center of the equal suffrage movement. the average husband is a brute-perhaps without intending to be. He has placed himself on d pedestal. and requires his wife to minister to him as a servant. The whole scheme of living is arranged with q view solely to his comfort Aroused at last by disagreeable con- ditions which make her a servile in ferior in the domestic arrangement and which accord her practically no rights under the law. the English woman has started d rebellion, in the hope that through the ballot she can better her situation. But when she gets it she will still find that she has the objectionable Englishman to deal with.
 As Mrs. Harris says, what women need is "a better breed of husbands" And to improve the breed women will nave 10 LOOK 10 tne carry training or their sons. Every community is fla miliar with the type of woman who tears around about women's rights" and neglects the training of her own children. And there are too many mothers who, while indifferent to the appeals of the equal suffragists. are so taken up with the affairs of so- ciety and other things that they neg lect the training of their sons and daughters. There is entirely too much of a tendency to transfer to the school teacher the responsibilities which should be met and shouldered by fathers and mothers.

it would be possible. by combination
of powers. without war, practically to
starve the nation out The only rem
edy lay in the direction of organized
agriculture as national concern.
Ben Tillet Of the Dockers' union,
who opened the discussion, declared
that unless something was done in the
matter of the food supply. this coun-
try was bound to go down in proper
tion as other countries developed. We
had 20,000.000 acres of good land lying
idle, while other countries were devel-
oping. Our food supply was in dan
ger. and he declared the time had
come when we should ask parliament
not to piffie SO much about unearned
increment, but interest itself in those
things which affected the everyday
life of the people.

LITTLE GIRL LINERS WARD
Steamship Company Becomes Pos
sessed Of Pretty Miss Of Eight.
Left In Mysterious Manner.

New York.-A coast-wise steamship
company became possessed of a ward
in the person of pretty little seven
year-old Lillian Esther Ringheim, who
was left in its care in mysterious fash
actly what to do with her.
The child was placed aboard a liner
at Galveston just before sailing time
by a woman who said she was the
girls mother. Accompanying the
woman was man who said he was
her lawyer. The officers of the steam
er were asked to look after the child
and were told it's father would meet
the boat at New York. There was
no one to claim the child when the
boat reached her dock.
The child, who is very small, had
a lovely time on the trip. She was
tai in charge by Miss Rice, one of
the Nstewardesses, and the passengers
made much of her. But her smiles
changed to tears when all her new
friends left and her father did not
appear.
Her father is August Ringheim
The steamship officials had his ad-
dress as Clyde. N. Y. They tele-
graphed to him and anxiously awaited
an answer from him. Meanwhile, one
of the clerks is caring for the child.
The girl could do little to lift the
mystery. She said she once lived
with grandma" at Wilmington, Del,
and she thought her mother lived IN
a place that sounded like Houston,
Tex. When she was asked whether
she would know her father if she saw
him, she shook her head and began
to cry anew.
