INCONVENIENCE AND ANEMIA

Simeon Ford, the humorist, just back
from Europe, hasn't a high opinion of
the customs and peoples of that an
cient land. He talked of the iceless
country-England-w he said,
there is not, so far as he knows, a re-
frigerator.
IF you want piece of ice in
highball it is as big as a pea" he eX-
planned. Every Monday morning they
send to the docks with a basket, do
those hotel men. and they think it fine
when the porter returns with a basket
of ice, covered with an old red petit
coat. And that's enough to last them
for a week.
Ford is Of the opinion that England
should have a high tariff until the
country is forced to grow it's own sup
plies.
"But they will have to give up those
hunting parks, he said. You go
through mile after mile of uncultivat-
ed land and find that it is the pheasant
walk of the Duke of Dusenbury. He
goes there to shoot once a year, and ii
is all his. The men in London are sc
sickly it takes four of them to lift a
box of four dozen eggs. Most of the
population has come down to earning
its daily bread by selling matches in
the street"

BEATTIE PICTURES BARRED

AS a result of the protest of four
women's organizations, representing
about 5000 of the women Of Jackson
Vile, the pictures of the Beattie trial
will not be shown again at the Males
tic Theater in that city. The organi-
cations were the w. c. T. T., the Wo-
mans Club, the Y. W. c. A. and the

theaters will not try to display the
pictures referred to. There can be
nothing good about them and hardly
anything but morbid curiosity would
draw people to see them.

Beattie's peevish complaint that
Beulah Binford is responsible for most
of his troubles will win him little
sympathy and no respect from other
men We all know that temptation is
a two-handed game, in which the man
generally had the lead and seldom fails
to make return play. There is some
thing that commands respect in the
man. however bad, who bears the
blame in silence, but, from Adam
down, there has only been contempt
for him who says, The woman gave

The Clifford Pinchot stock seems

When he entered his protest against
allowing the coal lands to fall into
the hands of m monopolists the people
applauded him. But his plan Of
simply Withdrawing these lands
from public entry is by no means
satisfactory. Some plan must be
devised for developing them, either
by private owners or by lease from
the government or some other met
hod not yet proposed. To simply
stand back and oppose every meth
Cd proposed is the work of an OBJ
structionist. This seems to be the
attitude of Mr.. Pinchot. He pro-

However, he has allied himself

extent that Taft splits the pro-

it and become his only hope.-

argue against the efficacy of the

candidate to stand on his own

supporters of the direct primary
seem to lack confidence in its eff
cacy,
