Heroism at Paris.

The expense Of cable tolls is re-
sponsible for many things, one being
that so far we have been spared har-
rowing accounts Of the suffering due
to the floods that have wrought such
havoc in Paris. The sob squad"
would revel in this opportunity, and
the word painters Of the Paris press
are undoubtedly y~earning for the OPP
portunity to throw their descriptive
machinery into the highest gear and
deluge the world with vivid portray
ais of the scenes that are now chal-
longing the apprehensive wonder of
the French. But the cost of sending
this sort of information abroad is
prohibitive, so we Of the west are
compelled to satisfy ourselves for the
present with skeletonized reports,
touching only the high spots, while
we await the coming of the illustrated
papers which VIII show us the wall of
water proceeding through the Place
de Vendome, or how the Louvre was
threatened by the u~proarious Seine,
or some other equally important fea-
ture of the disaster.
But we have not been entirely de-
prived of the human interest" phase
of the flood. One Associated Press
correspondent, more daring than his
fellows. and mindful of the ~yearning
of his American countrymen, has fur
nished us with an example of the
heroism that must be daily and hourly
exhibited among the people Of the
French capital. He tells us that de-
spite the dreadful darkness and dis
order that have fallen yer the gay
city Madame Pinchon, wife Of the
minister for foreign affairs, held her
regular reception, Kerosene lamps
and crate fires took the place of cleo
trio lights and steam heat, and the
palace OF the minister was the center
Of festivity.
This dauntless courage that rises
superior to such obstacles as a flooded
city is but traditional with the French
woman. Joan of Arc, clad in white
rmo and leading the assault against
the entrenched English at Orleans;

The publicity given two mere girls
in Kansas City's juvenile court has
aroused a good deal of wholesale SEN
timent among the better class Of peo-
pie of that place. One is a pretty
girl, but neglected. The other a scrub
girl, also neglected. The pretty one
has attracted much attention, espe-
cially from wealthy women, but the
other sat back in the corne unno-
ticed. Many wanted to take charge of
the former and she is nov adopted.
The other no one seemed to want.
But a Chicago banker-name not
given-who happened to be at the
Juvenile court, was touched by the
story of the little scrub girl and on
leaving provided the necessary funds
to give her a convent education
The big-heartedness of man. people
is we'll illustrated by these two cases.
The fact is there are more b~ig-hearted
people in the world than one is apt
to think when he bumps into them In
business QealS. ana Lu0 DCSI pdIS VI
it all is that it is big-heartedness Of
the right sort, spite Of the
concentrated foolishness occasionally
cropping out in some Of the cities of
our country, prompting the erection
of an expensive home for wandering
and decrepit cats.
But why wait until boys and girls
get into trouble and into the juvenile
court? To benefit society permanently
the cause must be rooted out. Instead
of waiting until the Juvenile court
has brought the delinquent to light
before acting do a little looking
around on the quiet and devote some
of the sup~erfluous charity money and
sympathy to the proper instruction of
ignorant or irresponsible parents and
in ferreting out and rectifying other
delinquency-producing conditions. II
an ounce of prevention is really worth
a pound of cure, it will apply in cases
of this kind as we'll as it does in the
contagious ward in a hospital.

CHEEKY PIPE DREAMS.
s. e. Kiser in Record Herald.

S. f. Kiser in Record-H Herald.
If / possessed a million dollars
Nd rave a cheerful air;
I'd give up wearing saw-edged collars,
And turn my back to care;
I'd try my best TO spread good cheer,
And when the days were gloomy
I'd keep some fair one sitting nea
To whisper sweet things to me.
If 1 possessed a well-fllled Golfer
M alf-r1y debts were paid,
I'd cease to be a dismal scoffer
BY foolish passions swayed; q.
I'd cultivate a sunny smile
And give up all resentment;
To those who think that man Is vile
I'd try to teach contentment.
II I were blessed with boundless riches
I'd gravely preach to those
Who labor in the r~eeking bitches
And toll with rakeS and hoes
I'd tell them that my lot vas hard,
My lordly wealth distressing,
And try to teach them to to regard
Plain living as a blessing.
I'd do my best II I were wealthy
To make the poor believe
That being poor and, therefore, healthy
They had no right to grieve;
I'd spread the gospel of good cheer,
My visage should be sunny
Unless 1 had the constant fear
That I might lose my money.

Interstate Commerce Court.

When President Taft submitted his plan
of further railroad regulation, 1t was re-
ported that the railroad managers objected
particularly to the scheme OF an interstate
commeree court which would handle the
judicial business accruing from the action
of the government commission. They pre-
ferred to appeal to the present lower fed
eral courts, where litigations could be more
easily made of endless prolongatlon. Rep
resentative Stevens of the house inter-
state committee at Washington
has been gathering the views of railroad
managers on this point, and finds them
generally friendly to this feature of the
Taft plan. Their attitude 30 far has been
misrepresented.

Republican Gains In The Cities.

The results of the Monday elections
are highly gratifying from a Reppbh7
can standpoint, even% though WAferS

broom swept the municipal household

John L. Hyde. candidate so formida-
BILE that the Democrats sought to
strengthen their ward tickets by put
ting his name at the head of their col
| umn also, without success. In Auburn
the Republican voters of the city en-
dorsed Mayor Merrill again and the
entire Republican ticket will go into
Office with him. In Saco the [ndepen-
dent Democrat candidate. Elroy H.
Mitchell, was reelected. but by a
greatly reduced plurality. and the Re-
publicans gained an alderman in the
city government.
Ellsworth showed its Repubicanism
so strongly that only one ward had a
Democratic ticket and that was de-
feated. Rockland. down in the way
ward Democratic county of Knox, is
again in safe Republican hands, May

year. Hon. Frank A. Morey returns
to office in Lewiston, in order to per-
pctuatc the McGillicuddy & Morey
nayoralty succession. but Dr. Wallace
L. Weber reduced his plurality by 200
votes and Republican, aldermen were
elected in two wards and Republican
councilmen in three. Gardiner and
Haliowell also remained true to the
party. In South Portland John A. S.
Dyer, a Democrat with large person.
al following, was elected over the Re-
office with Republican majority in
the city government. Viewed as a
whole, the Republicans made substan-
tial gains in every city except Water
vile and there peculiar local condi-
tions were responsible for the change
The result is no indication of the po-
litical preference of the majority of
the citizens, for it is admittedly
strong Republican community. If the
Democratic leaders can extract any
comfort from Mondays results, they
are welcome to it.

are free ia do so. so far as he is con-
cerned. He is not seeking favors at

gram of insult. delay and defeat. OF
the three features of the program, it
is evident that they prefer insult and

accomplish that in the end.
The whole matter has degenerated
into an exhibition of petty spite and
ill feeling which is disgraceful and I'M
