A Mols.s Mast.

Among common animals few have
been less studied In their life history
than the mole. Mr.. Lionel e. Adams
says that under the fortress" which
the mole constructs above the surface
of the ground will always be found a
series of tunnels running ont beneath
the adjacent field. A curious feature
almost Invariably found is a perpen-
dicular run penetrating about a foot
below the bottom of the nest and then
turning upward to meet another run.
"A mole is eve found in his nest, al
though 1t may yet be warm from his
body when opened. Guided by smell
and hearing q mole frequently locates
the nest OF a partridge or pheasant
above bis and, penetrating it from
below, eats the eggs. The adult mole
Is practically bliAd, but there are EN-
bryonic indications that the power Of
sight In the race has d~eteriorated.

TABLOID FICTION
Chicago Inter OCEAN,

NNhiSe'eoc ihtSi CScdHD
This is the nervous age. We live
10 times as fast, we understand 10
times as rapidly, as did our ancestors
and we have read and heard a hundred
times as much as they could read and
hear So it is only natural and logical
that we should balk at epics, in the
line of verse, and at thousand-page
novels, Just as we cannot afford to
sit at dinner six or eight good hours;
for lack of time and constitution. That
is why, especially during the last two
decades, the short story-something
to be taken in, enjoyed, Immediately
digested-has become our literary ia
vorite, and that is also why our au-
thors have learned to serve it UP to
us in very spicy, appetizing shape
Despite the prophets of "the SIM
pie life," it does look as if the tempo
of the match. to whose beats humanity
is double-timing, will be reduced ap-
precaably in the future 1t rather
looks as if humanity could not go at
slower gait because it has acquired
so much momentum on it's way. On
this account, may we apprehend that
the new generation which shall follow
ours, having no longer term of years
than we to live and having far great
er lot of things to think and feel and
know, will be still fonder of tabloid
pleasure, and will call for fiction con-
centrated so that their popular novels
will in size be little more than fiction

HARMON AND MOB LAW
(NationaI Monthly

That mob represented an issue in
stood for a total disregard for law.
Up to that time they have been able
to defeat candidates for public office
in Newark, and public officers were
somewhat fearful of opposing them.
Governor Harmon might have evad-
ed any part in that dispute. He could
have allowed the local officers to solve
the situation, and, had he assumed the
usual role of the conciliating politi-
clan, might have remained up in the
Michigan woods away from the scene.
Instead he cut his vacation when not
ihed of the outrage. He hurried to
his home and thence to Newark, where
He suspended the mayor and directed
the dismissal of the high police author
tiles. Charges were preferred against
the sheriff, and that official resigned.
They're going to have law and order
in Newark now. The stand taken by
Governor Harmon has brought color
to the cheek of every Buckeye with
red blood in his veins. His manly,
firm, immediate grasp of the situation
has taken the country by storm. And
yet he simply did his duty. Every
where people are applaudng the splen-
did work of that great big Democratic
Governor of Ohio and they are call
ing-as he has called-for the punish
ment of those who committed and
those who permitted the cruel death
of Etherington. The recompense of
the deplorable affair is that the young
Kentuckian did not die in vain. Law
and order gained tremendously in
the sacrifice he made.

COX AND HARDING

It was only few years ago that
Harding stood up in a Republican
state convention and eulogized Cox.
On Wednesday of this week Cox stood
up in the Republican state conven-
tion and nominated Harding for gov
ernor. The convention proceedings
connected with the nomination for
governor clearly point that Cox played
his usual sharp game. He used Brown
as stalling-horse and in due season
brought about the nomination of his
real choice in the person of Harding.
