Some Omitted Heroes
Baltimore SUM-

The Carnegie Hero Fund Commits.
, sion has been counting the noses OF
| the nations Hobsons and Bayards and
handing out its annual rewards-a
silver medal and $500 to the Massa-
chusetts boy who fished two drowning
companions from a hole in the ice;
a bronze medal and $500 to the Afro
kasan who snatched a neglected in.
FAINT from the path of the lightning ex-
press: vote of thanks and $1,000 to
the Ohio merchant VINO rowed a ha.-
bottomed boat through the skylight
of a submerged house in flood time
and rescued the family: and sundry
other gauds. decorations and sums of
money to various other heroes. great
and small, white and black, amateur
and professional
1t is pleasant to see all these noble
Caucasians and Philippians rewarded.
but II is sad to think upon the multi
tuGe OF other heroes whose valiant
acts have gone unhonored and I'M
sung. Great men are always modest.
and most modest of all are great mar
tyrs. They shrink from the glare of
the Carnegie spotlight as schoolboy
shrinks from the clammy touch of
soap. The notion of filing applications
for recognition, after the fashion of
hungry jobseekers; of wearing med
ais like handmasters, sandwich men
and champion buck and wing dancers.
and of being paid in cash for their
stupendous sacrifice-this notion
stabs them in tender and ticklish
spot and makes them writhe with dis
gust.
And so it happens that many of the
nations superheroes do not appear
upon the Carnegie list. Absent is
that courageous divine OF Iowa who
spoke out in meeting against the use
OF talcum upon the human nose. and
was driven out of his pulpit by the
yengeful fair ones Of his goddess flock.
He is working today as candy butch
er with one-ring circus, but he does
not repine and neither does he de-
mand a medal. Absent, too, from the
honorable roll is the noble Buffaloian
who placed rat-traps in his trousers
pockets. and so ended. by armed
force. the nocturnal burglaries OF his
prowling wife. A pusillanimous Judge
gave him four years, and he is now
working in the prison shoeshop, but
he doesn't ask for pity. and he doesn't
cry for a Carnegian bauble And alb
sent, once more and finally, is that
Colossus of courage who dared ask
the courts for an Injunction restrain

How Dish Covers Originated.

Dishes brought to table were not in
the first instance covered merely to
keep the food warm. In medieval
days people were afraid that poison
might be introduced into food between
the kitchen and the table; hence the
cook was ordered 10 cover the dishes.
and the covers were not removed until
the master of the house sat down to
eat. The wholesomeness Of the food
was first tested by the servants. who
were required to taste it before 1t was
served. and il they came safely
through the trial the food was all
right. Later on. instead Of the food
being tasted. 1t was tested by certain
objects which were supposed to be in
failible antidotes against poison.

George wa.hinoton Memorial.

From the Springfield Union.
The project to erect a George Wash
ington memorial building in the Ma
tional Capital has the backing of nu-
merous national organizations and
men OF note, and an attempt will be
made to raise $2,50O,0OO for the pur-
pose before February % next. 1t is
designed that the building shall be
used as an auditorium and headquar-
ters for all educational, literary, pa
triotic and scientific organizations of
national extent. The dimes and dol
lars of the people will be solicited in
every part of the country. Whether
the honor paid to the Father of his
Country would be enhanced by the
provision Of such a building may be
questioned. but it is quite likely that
the idea will hit the favor Of the pub
lie and be the means of adding anoth-
er beautiful building to the number
that already adorn Washington.
Epithets.
From Columbus. Ohio, State journal.
Two men were talking together.
One said of third person. He's a
dirty dog" 1t is quite common for
people to speak in this epithetical way
OF others and to ascribe to them some
low qualities that usually fit animals,
scoundrels or devils. 1t is a very poor
habit and reflects more upon the men
who are guilty of the habit than upon
those against whom the bad names are
directed.
If one would go to the bottom of
this habit and see what it really means
he would. for his own sake, endeavor
to extricate himself from it. He would
easily see that it was an expression of
prejudice. spite. ill will, hatred, and
not Of candor, good will or justice. 1t
must not be implied from this that a
man must not hold bad opinion of
another. It simply means, il there is
room for good opinion. take that,
and il there is not disparage and de-
nounce the effense which calling a
man names does not do.

In another column this week We print an article relative to the meet ing of the School Improvement Asso- citation. In regard to this organiza- tion we have few words to say. The Association is made up of member ship composed of the full corps of teachers of Crowley Ridge Institute, rogether with number of public spirited women Of the city. who are interested in the welfare and upbuid ing of our schools. and the making of good, clean intelligent citizens of the generation now of school age. It IS the wish of the Association that every child of that age should take advan- tage of the opportunity offered him or her to secure an education, and il is their intention that if there are any children of school age who are not able to secure the necessary text books or other school materials, and from this cause are kept from school, 10 provide them with the books and see that they are given every advantage ac- corded to more fortunate ones. There are, according to the school census, 225 children of educable age in this special school district who are not enumerated on the school rolls It is to see that these children take adyan- tage of the opportunity offered them that the Association was formed, and il should be the object of every good citizen 10 help them attain this wor- thy object

son because Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Taft have entertained a design to
strengthen federal control OF corpora
tions at the expense OF state iurisdic-
lions. ~confessedly weak, conflicting
and inept. Mr.. Lehmann's position lie
that corporations tend to eliminate
competition and will dominate at will
every industry unless regulated under
federal law. Laying aside the history
and presidents Of corporation law, the
popular theory agrees with the popu-
lar practice of moving across state
lines whenever there is any reason,
whether II is adding TO a business or
taking a s~on-in-law into the family.
Nobody wishes to wipe out state lines
or weaken useful local regulation, but
when the plain people themselves mix
their business in the states they will
insist that the status be recognized
and the activities regulated under the
law.

Far-ReachinV.

The ruling of the United States cir
cult court IN favor Of the railroads In.
the Missouri river through rate cases,
practically denying the Interstate
Commerce commission power to regu-
late such through rates. would be far
reaching IL It we're the last word. The
questions in controversy, however, are
so important and the interests in
volved so great hat the issue will not
be considered closed. but will surely
go up to the supreme court for final
adjudication. AS Omaha jobbing
houses are parties to the suit peo-
pie will follow the proceedings with
the hope that they will eventually
work out SO as to give Missouri river
shipping points the through rates to
which they are entitled and remove
the discrimination by which the Mis-
sissippi river points have so far had
the advantage.
Notwithstanding the adverse de-
cision of the circuit court, the position
Of the Missouri river shippers is by
no mean devoid Of encouragement.
The tentative order of the Interstate
Commerce commission in response to
their appeal put the railroads on the
defensive, and even now in the de-
cision just handed down the court is
divided, n of the three judges enter
ing a vigorous dissent. The dissent
| In " nnfninn holds that gronNfn. 4ho ~
junction asked for by the railroads
would SO limit the powers of the Inter
state Commerce commission as to pre-
vent the effective exercise of the rate
regulating authority conferred on it
by congress, and that If the commits
sion be denied power to enforce the
reduction of through rates as proposed
1t would be relegated into a position
of a merely supervisory body without
any right which the railroads would
be bound to respect.
Through railroad rates in this coun-
try have been gradually built mp on
the system of basing points deter
mined by geographical conditions, and
water and other competition. These
conditions are changing, and the order
sought from the Interstate Commerce
commission was in recognition Of
these changed conditions. AS the
country is built up the railroads will
have to accommodate themselves to
the logic Of events and the readjust-
ment Of rates will have to ONE il not
in one way, then in another.
