HARDLY LOGICAL

DR.. Angel has written a book on
how to do away with wars. He
evidently believes that vars are
made and avoided chiefly by
money, and thinks much can he
done by substitution in money
affairs. He says:
Some years ago a bank in a
western mining town was frequ-
emily subjected to hold.ups because
it was known that the great min
ing company owning the town kept
large quantities of gold there, for
the payment of it's workmen. The
company, therefore took to paying
it wages mainly by check on San
Francisco bank, and by a simple
system of clearances, practically
abolished the use of gold in con-
siderable quantities III the mining
town in question. The bank was
never attacked again."
From that Mr.. Angel reasons
that the same principle of substi-
tuition among nations would tend
to greatly diminish the cause of
war.
We cannot quite grasp the logic
of his reasoning. 1t seems to us
that the chief need for the money
was to pay the miners. When
they received the checks they still
had to have the money. and had to
get them cashed where they could.
The only rebate was where the
miners had to pay their bills to the
merchants who cashed the checks
or to the thieves on. the outside
who discounted them. And the
holdsups merely changed their
fields Of operations and held up
the stages outside that were bring
ing in the coin.
Then, a single Waterman in the
bank would have been sufficient TO
protect it. or better still, an
electraic device could have been
fixed that would have electrocuted
the robbers had they entered the
night. Checks are a great coll
venience and passing from hand to
hand answer just as we'll as the
money, but where money is earned
as in mining camp, the final pay
ments have to be in money and the
argument Of Mr.. Angel. while
PLAUSIBLE, will not stand the test
of real experience. Goodwin

days are now, happily, thing of the
past. Government officials, spurred
by the chagrin of unsuccessful unveil-
ings, have perfected a system which
enables the present-day unwilling to
proceed like clockwork. There has
finally been evolved a definite fixed
routine just as there is a set Of hard
and fast rules for inaugurating a pres
ident or conducting military or naval
funeral and the federal experts who
make business of these public shows
could almost conduct one with their
eyes shut, so to speak.
Much of the credit for the system
and routine that has been introduced
in statue unwilling belongs to Col.
Frederick D. Owen. On the federal
payroll Col. Owen appears as one of
the officials of the office of public

A Lesson for Diplomats.

helped this nation to independence
during the Revolution. An even more
important statue is the splendid one
to Gen. U. S. Grant, which will cost,
when completed, about a quarter of a
million dollars. Then there will be
new statues to such naval heroes as
Commodore Barry and John Paul
Jones and statue to Christopher
Columbus as a part of a mammoth
memorial fountain.
Time was, and not so very long ago,
either, when the prospect of having
to conduct this series of statue unveil-
ings would have put on the keen edge
of uneasiness those public officials
whose duty it is to look after such
functions Our federal authorities
have long been accustomed to con-

etc.-but for years a statue unwilling
had the reputation of being about the
most difficult spectacle to conduct that
could be devised. For one thing, it
combined all the difficulties of pa
rade and mass meeting. The pres
ident of the United States almost in
variably participates in every unveil-
ing, and that means problems Of its
own. And finally, it seemed in the
light of bitter experience as though
there was always some mishap or slip
up that marred more or less the actual
unwilling, that is, the removal of the
coverings which have until the event

screened it from the gaze of curious
public.

Miss Venus is lovely girl; not

been without her arms for many dusty
ages, and yet she never drops the

her out on fgger, she never even
looks at him, that rank untutored sim
ner, but holds her tongue and pedes,
tai, o, Venus Is winner. She's on
the job both day and night, she hears
man knock or f1atter and women not

MOTHERS OF THEN AND NOW
Matter What Sentimental
Writers May Assert.

The popular" writer who bewafls
" he assume ito be the fact that
the "old-fashioned mother Is no more
Is liable to defeat his own purpose If
that be intoxicating in children the
highest possible regard for their pa
rents. 1t is a danger which even the
iQuantitative theory of literature or
space rates cannot Justify.
The mother of the past, Of course,
was different from the mother Of the
present, as different on the whole as
the conditions Of life then and now,
but since her daughter is the mother
Of the present there must be some
points of similarity. All the good in
our mothers and grandmothers GER
tainly could not have vanished. 1t
will be paying scant tribute to those
dear, good women who have laid down
their precepts and examples and
passed on to say so. And, of course,
this writer does not mean to do that,
yet he comes very near doing what he
does not intend.
The fallacy of the whole sentimen
tai notion that because things and
people are not like they used to be
they are not as good, lies in the pat
ent fact that they cannot be alike, and
II they were it would simply be be-
cause of the present generation being
SO much inferior to the past that 1t

ChjIdren's Food.

Certain little suggestions are always
to be followed when planning the diet
of the little ones. To keep healthy
little stomachs in the nursery never
serve hot stewed fruit to the children
Plenty of stewed fruit and baked ap
pies they should eat, but they must
invariably be cooked the day before
and dished up cold. The nursery po-
tatoes should always be baked or
boiled in their jackets. Stewed and
fried potatoes or potatoes boiled with
out their skins supply starch, with a
loss of all the wholesome potash salts
that the skin gives out during the
process of cooking into the white part
of the vegetable.

which cost $3.50 each.
