TIL Insurgcnt West Getting Ready for
War.
Ray Stannard Baker contributes a
remarkable article to the February
American Magazine on the 1nsurgent
revolt in Congress. He has recently
been West and thoroughly combed
the country in an endavor to get at
the real feeling of the people in that
section as regards the fight that some
of their representatives in Congress
are waglng Mr.. Bakers observa-
tions are particularly interesting as
compared with the impressions he
received in the same territory five
years ago, when he was investigating
the railroad situation. He writes:
About five years ago | made a trip
through much the same territory that
/ have covered during the last few
weeks. was studying the railroad
problem. and / remember how diff
flcult II was to find men who were in
formed on the subject or who dared to
talk. A lone fighter here and there
was contending against overwhelming
odds. Most of the politicians-though
La Toilette, Cummins, Lenroot,
Stubbs. and a few others were then in
the fight--were on the other side, de-
Tending the railroad political bosses
and doing all they could to smother
progressive legislation. And they
were backed almost solidly by the
business interests, great and small.
To-day everything is changed, or
changing. Through the agency Of
direct primaries, the commission form
of administering city affairs (the 'Des
Moines planD with the referendum,
initiative and recall, government
is coming out at last INTO the daylight.
The Influence of the railroads upon
politics is being clipped by means of
anti-pa laws, the appointment of
railroad commissions and the begin
nings of rate regulation. Every

found were the new organizations of
evry sort which were getting joyous

selves more or less vitality with public

Was Getting Monotonous.

A handsome woman who had been

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.

exclaimed the ex-wife, cordially shak.
ing hands with the gentleman whose
name she had formerly borne. I'm
awfully glad to see you, Charlie!"
Then, after a wistful expression had
come to and been banished from heI
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

Money for TubereuIosIs 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 Chari-
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,O0O and appropriations for
hundreds of thousands of dollars are
pending Hundreds of hospital beds
have been provided, and the associa-
ton already aims for mo Uncared-for
tuberculosis In 1915"
Thus, the National association says
If 100000 is realized from the sale
of Red Cross seals, millions more will
be added to It from the public treas
uries. Last year 25,OO0,0OO stamps
were sold. 1t is aimed to sell four
times as many this year.

NATURAL ACT FOR MOTHER
Women Understand That Not HeroIsm
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 neighbor ran scream
ing to the house and without an in
stant's hesitation sprang through the
smoking doorway into what already
seemed an inferno. A moment later
she staggered out, her hands and
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 1t on street cars, and as their
eyes cleaned with the stirring Of the
spirit which leaps to greet noble deeds
they said: THAT woman dared to dc
what most men would be afraid to do
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 timid
would do under the same circum
tances-Cleveland Leader.

Value Of EMPLOYMENT.

The beginning of all true reforma-
ton among the criminal classes de-
ponds on the establishment of institu-
tons for their active employment
while their criminality is still unripe
and their feelings of self-respect, ca
pacitles of affection and sense of JUS
tice not altogether q1enched. That
those who are DESTROYS Of employment
should always be able to find 1t will
hardly, at the present day, be dis
puted; but that those who are unde-
sirous of employment should, of all
persons, be the most strictly COM
PEELED to It, the public is hardly yet
convinced, and they must be con-
WINGED.
If the danger of the principal thor
oughfares in their capital city, and
the multiplication of crimes more
CHASTITY than ever yet disgraced a
nominal civilization are not enough,
they will not have to wait long be-
fore they receive sterner lessons. For
our neglect of the lower orders has
reached a point at which 1t begins to
bear its necessary fruit, and every
day makes our fields not whittier, but
more sable, to harvest.-Ruskin.
