WHY Should We Wear Mourning Z

Harriet Quimby In L&siies
Have we the right to infiict our per-
sonal griefs upon our friends? Have
we the right to go about trailing our
crepe through thoroughfares which.
without our depressing presence. would
be gay? In my opinion the deep-bor-
dered mourning cards and stationery
adopted by bereaved families indicate
the height Of vulgarity. 1t has long
been known to physicians and psychol-
ogists that color has its distinct effect
upon the nervous organisation OF every
living creature. A patient suffering
from a nervous disorder would never be
permitted to play with mourning cards.
1t is a question, then, whether the
privilege of sending our deep-bordered
badges of woe through the government
mails. to be handled by men who have
bereavements of their own and who
have no desire to be constantly remind
ed Of them by handling other people
mourning letters, should not be prohib-
tied by law as a public nuisance.

More Polar ENTERPRISE.

When the announcements of polar dis.
covery were made last summer the
thought was universally expressed that
now would come cessation of foolhardy
efforts to attain to the farthest north,
with a consequent saving of human life.
But apparently this hope is futile In
deed the claim of Cook and the demon
stration of Peary apparently only served
to stimulate explorers to further effort
The news had scarcely reached England
before an expedition to the south pole
was being organized. A dirigible trip to
the northern axis was soon afterward
planned, and now comes q. revival of the
old Jules Verne proposition-to dive un-
der the ice to the point of so degrees
north latitude. A German named KEMP
has resolved to make the attempt using
a submarine of his own design which is
capable of remaining under water at q
great depth for long period. race be-
tween Count Zeppelin and DR.. Kemp
the former in the air and the latter under
water, would be one of the most exciting
sporting events the world has ever wit
messed.

Occasionally figure is quoted in our
national affairs that emphasizes the mag
nitude Of the country. The latest of this
kind is the statement that during the past
year approximately 30OOOO,OOO pennies
were taken by rural free delivery carriers
from the boxes on their routes where they
had been deposited with letters in lieu of
postage stamps. in accordance with rule
permitting the patrons OF the routes to
post letters in this manner. That means
that 15O.OOO.OO0 letters were written and
posted in the rural districts in twelve
months for which the writer's had no
stamps at hand. Considering the COM
parative lack Of epistolatpry enterprise
on the part of rural residents this is sig

A Stir Among Chairmen.

There is a stir in the circle of political
chairmen. Some are resigning. Mr.. Par
sons of New York has had enough. Some
are expected to resign. Mr.. Timothy
Woodruff is OF this number. Some would
confer a great favor by resigning. Mr.
W. j. Corners has received more than
one nudge that his room is better than
his company. And. in the language OF
the poet. there are others.
How far will the unrest extend? Take
the case OF Chairman Mack. a fellow
townsman of Mr.. Corners, who ranks
him In the democratic field. He has
fallen under suspicion. Selected>to con-
duct Mr.. Bryan's third campaign. he did
his best, and lost gracefully. Since then he
has done little, but for the reason that
there has been little to, do. A national
chairman Is of small consequence be-
tween presidential campaigns. There is
nothing to call the committee together,
and he rests on his oars When he
travels he is interviewed, and that. is
about all.
The Organizes. however, are disturbed

opinion that the peerless leader has led

He is not classed as a Harmonic. a
Marshallite, a Gaynorte. or any other
kind of an lite, but as willing to assis,
in bringing out some strong man able to
put Mr.. Bryan out Of business.
There are no particulars, and Mr.. Mack
may be unjustly accused. Anyhow, why
should he resign? There is so little to
his office at this time he has no power,
even if disposed, to work any injury to
Mr.. Bryan, or benefit to anybody else.
His only official service between now
and midsummer 1912 will be calling the
national committee together to name the
time and place for holding the next ma
tional convention. and then calling that
convention to order. A new committee
follows, and that committee will select
its own chairman
1t Is not often that a chairman is re-
tanned TO conduct second campaign.
Mr.. Hanna conducted both of the Nc
kinley campaigns. and Mr. Jones of
Arkansas Mr.. Bryans first and second
campaigns. But the relations of those
two men with their chiefs were excep-
t1onally close. Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Mack

may be that, without regard to Mr.
Macks present feelings or doings, Mr.
Bryan II again nominated will look else

Likewise If another than Mr.. Bryan is
nominated he may bring forward some
personal friend so as to insure the closes,

The French Flood.

Unless the floods soon subside the resi-
dents of Paris will be in need of assist
ance from beyond the French boundaries.
The suffering at the capital of France
increases hourly. The dispatches tell of
widespread destruction as the result of
abnormally high water in the Seine, the
property damage estimated at 500, OO0, 900,
with the supply of potable water at a dan
gerously low point owing to the failure of
pumping machinery, while the stoppage
of food supplies Incidental to the de-
struction of railroads threatens a famine
At first there was only apprehension of
damage to certain monumental struc
lures, but the situation has passed far
beyond that point until great numbers of
people are in actual need, not only in
Paris, but throughout the neighboring
provinces.
The subways of Paris have always been
regarded as a marvel of municipal engi
neerins. The under world of the French
capital represents centuries OF labor Dur
ing the past few decades the most en-
'lightened principles of municipal equip
ment have been applied and carried into
effect on a liberal scale until the under
ground arrangements are remarkably ex-
tensive and efficient. Great galleries run
throughout the city for the accommoda-
ton not only of wires but steam and
compressed air pipes and water mains
The sewers are easily reached for repairs
and are thoroughly lighted. Now this great
system of subways and transportation
tubes" is proving a menace. The high
waters of the Seine have filled the laby-
rinthine maze OF conduits, passages, rail-
way subways and sewers, bursting the
walls and undermining the foundations of
buildings. breaking water pipes, cutting
off electrical connections and paralyzing
the city'S equipment
Already il is suggested in the dis
patches that this experience is being stud
led by the Partisan authorities with a
view TO the prevention of similar dis
asters in the future. The only way to
safeguard Paris from such an inunda-
ton Is to inclose the Seine between high
walls. extending to a point above that
which may be reached in the course of
the present flood, which promises to pass
beyond all recorded heights.
