common, it is evident that law must
be made and modified to meet the new

1t is an intricate and difficult ques-

certain in the near future to lead to
complications and controversies, and it
IS by no means too soon to take seri-

Tt has been demonstrated that APP

FANATICISM OUT OF DATE.

It is reported of the celebration of
the Lincoln centenary at Chicago that
President Schneider, of the board of
trade of that city, opposed the playing
of Dixie during the public exer-
cises of the day, and that the superin'
tendent of the city schools also forbade
the singing of the same national air by
the school children. Each of these gen.
tlemen, as we may presume, held that
the occasion made the stirring strains
of this southern wartime a sacrile-
gious OffenSe against the patriotism of
the day.
Lamentable, indeed that men in au-
thority should be so narrow; that they
should have had any part in the cele-
bratIOn of a day in commemOratiOn Of
one who in his lifetime, was so broad
and generous. 1t was men of this
stamp that, during President Lincolnis
lifetime, made the discharge of his
onerOus duties the more complex, and
that added to the burden he was called
upon to bear. 1t was the manifesto
ton of such a spirit that denoted ha-
tired and narrow malignity, neither of
which had any place in Abraham Lin

instructive to contrast this peevish
assumption of patriotism with the
charitably surcharged, genuine article
which President Lincoln never failed
to manifest. There are two examples
of this latter class made singularly
apropos by the action of these Chicago
fanatics.
AS it is told, when the news of the
fall of Richmond was brought to
Washington there was a rush of an i'm
promptu procession, headed by a band,
to the white house. After the preSi-
dent had responded to demand for
a speech, he reminded his auditors of
the pleasure he experienced before the
war from hearing "a song or tune
called Dixie" With the suggestion of
charitable humor, he intimated that
the right to play that tune was among
the spoils of victory. so 1 shall be
glad" said he, ito hear Dixie from the
band Here was broad-guage patrio-
tism which is evidently beyond the
comprehension of the gentlemen at
Chicago-as much beyond as Lincoln's

were buried Brave men all-and

MILLINER EARNS
$1,000 AN HOUR

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 17.-Mrs@ An
nette Hartzell, a local milliner, has
been awarded the sum, of $1,000 an
hour for the seven hours she spent
in Jail as a result of the suit brought
against her by John D. Murphy rep
resentative of Chicago wholesale
millinery establishment, the jury sit
ting on the damage case having re-
turned a verdict favorable to paying
the woman the above sum. Mrs. Hart
zell was arrested in 1906 and spent
seven hours in the ity prison on COM
plant of Murphy, who alleged that she
had secured a bill of goods from mis-
firm under false pretenses. She filed
suit for $4,000 damages due to false
imprisonment and the jury awarded
her $1,000. The fact that Mrs. Hart
zell's picture appeared in local papers
with a number written across it,
showing that it came from the police
''rogues' gallery" particularly impress
ed the jury and inclined them in the
Woman's favor.

A. DUTY TO LIBERIA.

Booker T. Washington, while in New
York the other day, declared that the
situation in the African republic OF
Liberia was serious, was such indeed
that the United States was in duty
bound to render assistance to that re-
public. as this country was responsible
for setting it up. The same views
were previously expressed by former
Secretary of State Root, who becomes
a United States senator from New
York on March next
It has been repeatedly stated in
European newspapers, although not
confirmed by the state department OF
this country, that the situation in La
IBERIA has been called to the attention
of the United States by other countries
having interests in Africa, and that
this country has been urged to estab-
4ish a direct protectorate over it, be-
cause those conditions cannot be per-
mitted to continue, says the Post-ln-
telligencer 1t may possibly become
necessary for the United States to take
over the control and direction OF ar
fairs.
IBERIA was a scheme of American phil
anthropists, whose idea was to re-
establish in their own country freed
slaves and other persons of African
descent who had been brought to this
country, or the descendants of such
persons, who might be DESTROYS of re-
turning to Africa. The consent of the
other countries of the world was OBJ
tanned, and the republic was estab-
iiShed in 1919. Several shiploads of
persons of African descent were sent
over to establish the colony which, It
was the fond belief, would be accepted
as home by all freedmen who found
conditions not to their liking in this
country.
But the idea failed to attract any
considerable number of the negroes
born in this country, and the infant
republic had a precarious existence
from the start. The negroes from the
United States, so far from advancing
their brethren in Africa, evinced a
tendency rather to retrograde them
selves. They have developed but little

"Brewster's Millions"

In dramatizing and staging George
Barr McCutcheon's story of 'Brews-
ters Millions" there has necessarily
been some elaboration of this satire on
frenZied finance to make the play pre-
sentable in dramatic form, though all
the salient features of the story are
thing to spend a million dollars in a
year under the restrictions laid down
by the uncle of Montgomery Brews-
ter" even with the incentive of inherit
ing seven millions, if all the conditions
of spending the first million are full
filled. This difficulty is enhanced when
bad investments turn out to be good
and add to the original fortune instead
of reducing it. The frenzy of it all
is accentuated by the fact that BreWs-
ter's friends cannot be taken into the
secret of the young millionaire's ex-
travagance. The adartors have made
an unusually interesting play out of
this absorbing and amusing story and
they are to be commended for adher-
ing so closely to the plot. 1t is lively

terests of private property rights and
of international rights as we'll
The most important question, and
the one which requires the definition
of a code of International law ON the
subject, is that regarding international
frontiers, seeing that neither walls nor
fences, mountains nor rivers, nor even
the sea itself, offer insurmountable
barriers to them. Are these airshlps
to be allowed to traverse frontiers
freely, regardless of customs dues, de-
faint of bans Of exile and laws of i'm
migration? Are they to be permitted to
hover over Notifications, arsenals and
dock yards?
Then comes the very serious ques-
ton of private boundaries. Are air.
ships to be permitted to pass over pri-
vate property at viii? The law of tres
pass is intricate enough as it is, but 1T
can be seen that the airships will add
a new complication to it. The mat
ter is certainly ripe for the attention of
lawmakers and for the framing of
some form of, international agreement
on the subject.
