NATURAL ACT FOR MOTHER
Women Understand That Not HeroIsn
but Simply Love Prompted
Self Sacrifice.

A few days AGO., in a somewhat
squalid neighborhood, a house caught
fire. The flames shot quickly through
the litter on the floor and the untidy
array Of clothing on the walls. A wom-
an talking with a neighbor ran scream
ing to the house and without an in
stant's hesitation sprang through the
smoking doorway into what already
seemed IN inferno. A moment later
she staggered out, her hands ana
face blackened and blistered and her
clothing on fire. In her arms she bore
her baby, safe from harm.
The afternoon. papers came out with
the story, printed under headlines ex-
tolling this mothers heroism. Men
read it on street cars, and as their
eyes cleaned with the stirring of the
spirit which leaps to greet noble deeds
they said: "That dared to do
what most men would be afraid to dos
But the mothers who read it at home
did not think that way. Perhaps the
danger to the baby, the wrecking OF
the home and the burns the woman
suffered brought moisture to their
eyes, but to them the act was not one
Of heroism-it was simply what any
natural mother, no matter how timids
would do under the same circum-
stances.-Cleveland Leader.

NEED MONEY FOR GOOD WORK
Plans Of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis.

What "a Million for tuberculosis
from Red Cross Seals" will do in pro-
viding some of the 275,000 beds need
ed at ono in the United States for
consumptives, is explained in a recent
bulletin of the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis. There is just about one
bed for every ten INDECENT consump-
tives, and If all tuberculosis persons
In the country are counted, both rich
and poor, hardly one for every rs or
80. If sufficient hospital accomoda-
tons are provided only for those
who r too poor to pay the full
price for their treatment, fully 275,000
more beds in special institutions for
tuberculosis would be needed at once.
The immense outlay necessary to pro-
vide and maintain SO many beds in
hospitals, make it Imperative, the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis de-
%clares, that such institutions be erect
ed from public money, either NUM-
cipal, county or state. In order to
get appropriations for public hospitals
for tuberculosis, agitation is neces-
sary, and in order to create a cam
paign of agitation, organization is de-
manded. But in order that an organi.
cation may carry on an effective cam.
paign, funds are needed.
These funds it is proposed to secure
in al many communities as possible
from the sale Of Red Cross seals.

Was Getting Monotonous.

A handsome woman who had been
SO unfortunate as to find occasion to
divorce not one but several husbands
was returning from Nevada. In Chi
cago she happened to meet her first
husband, for whom, by the way, she
always has entertained a real affec-
ton.
Upon my soul, if it isn't Charlie!"
exclaimed the ex-wife, cordially shak-
ing hands with the gentleman whose
name she had formerly borne. "I'm
awfully glad to e you, Charlie!"
Then, after a wistful expression had
come to and been banished from her
~countenance, she added:
"Old chap, I've often wondered
where you were and what you were
doing. 1t was too bad we didn't get
on better together. l hope your ex-
perience hasn't been as unpleasant as
mine. I'm sick and tired of mar
rying strangers!"

Money for tuberculosis Work.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of tuberculosis
gives forcible illustration Of the way
in which a small sum spent in educa-
ton has secured large appropriations
from state, county, and municipal Of
ficials. The New York State Chart
ties Aid association in the three years,
1908, 1909, and 1910, has spent in the
upstate portion Of New York about
$4,000 in arousing the people to the
dangers of tuberculosis. AS a direct
result Of the public sentiment pro-
duced by this outlay, the state, coun-
ty, and municipal authorities have al
ready appropriated for tuberculosis
work $1,500,000 and appropriations for
hundreds Of thousands of dollars are
pending. Hundreds of hospital beds
have been provided, and the associa-
tion already aims for mo Uncared-for
tuberculosis in 1915"
Thus, the National association says
If $1,000,0 900 is realized from the sale
of Red Cross seals, millions more will
be added to 1t from the public treas
uries. Last year 100000 stamps
were sold. 1t is aimed to sell four
times as many this year.

WHAT He CONSIDERED FAIR
Surprise Even to Persuasive
Claim Agent.

Up In Minnesota Mr.. Olsen had a
COW killed by a railroad train. In
due season the claim agent for the
railroad called.
I'VE understand, of course, that the
deceased was a very docile and valu-
able animal" said the claim agent in
his most persuasive claim-agentleman-
ly manner, "and we ~sympathize with
you and your family in your loss. But,
Mr.. Olsen, you must remember this:
Your COW had no business being upon
u tracks. Those tracks are our pri-
vate property and when she invaded
them she became a trespasser. Tech
nically speaking, you, as her owner,
became a trespasser also. But we
have no desire to carry the issue into
court, and possibly give you trouble.
Now, then what would you regard as
q fair settlement between you and the
railroad company"

THE PROGRESSIVE DEMAND
Mr.. Roosevelt Does Not Seem to
Realize What the New Spirit Of
the Country Is.

The fact, surprising as it may seem,
is that Mr.. Roosevelt does not realize
the depth and the strength of the
public sentiment which he himself has
helped SO much to arouse. His homi-
lies have been a potent factor In fix
ing the attention Of the people upon
the political, economic and social
abuses which prevail In the country.
While he was president, he under
stood the people pretty well, but
when he was in Africa, he got out of
touch with them. Since his return
he has not fully caught the new spirit
of the country. He has no idea of
the extent of the progressive move
ment. He does not realize that the
fight now in progress is a fight to the
death.
Tories and ~progressives look very
much alike to him. Thus he prom
ises to help Senator Lodge in Massa-
chusetts and Senator Beveridge in In
diana, He asks for support Of tory
congressman in South Dakota, and he
says a good word for Miles Poindexter
in the state of Washington. He labors
under the delusion that the crucial
contest which is now being waged
within the ranks of the Republican
party a be settled on the basis Of
compromise. Any man who knows
the situation understands that this is
impossible. The Republican party
must be wholly redeemed or 1t will
be wholly destroyed. There is no
room in the party for many of the
men with whom Mr.. Roosevelt is
willing to work or for some of the
men whom he has commended to the
support Of the people.
In its leadership the progressive
movement demands grim, unyielding
determination and constructive abil-
ity of a high order. Colonel Roose-
welt does not possess these qualities.
He talks fiercely and he acts tamely.
His Inconsistencies and his willing
ness to accept compromise rather
than defeat make him an unsuitable
leader. The people themselves are
wiser and irmer than he. The pro-
gressive movement is their movement
and they will not brook compromise.
They are going to fight it out to the
end. AS leaders they require men
who are strong enough, courageous
enough and %persevering enough to d.
rect a war rather than men who are
content to appear or the skirmish
line now and then and to spend the
rest Of their time in preaching
against the enemy or in singing songs
across the ines.-Milwaukee Journal.

No Real "Protection.D

This country produces its W coal,
and exports many times more than 1t
imports. The duties on breadstuffs
may retard the free flow Of grain over

times affect local prices temporarily,
but in all food products we are an ex-
porting nation, and prices are deter
mined in the markets Of the world.

It Is Of common knowledge and 1t
has been for than a generation
an open scandal that the protected in
terests have paid the Republican par
ty in campaign contributions for en-.
acting the tariff schedules they de-
sired. The Republicans have not only
taken this money, but they have In
sisted on having it. In 1890 the rep
resentatives Of the protected inter
ests in congress gave votes to pass
the silver coinage bill in exchange for
votes Of the silver men for the Nc
Kinley tariff.
