Mr.. Astor's Hard Luck.

Mr.. William Waldorf Astor, it
may be remembered, deserted
America primarily because it
was mot place for gentleman
to live in" but secondarily be-
cause of Discrimination to pay
taxes demanded by the city and
State of New York. In his pri-
mary ambition, that of becoming
a full -fedged English aristocrat,
he has been disappointed because
no British sovereign has given
him title. And it is the irony
of fute that the famous Lloyd
George budget with it's heavy in
heritance duties is now giving
him greater vexation than did
the New York assessors. To de-
feat the purpose of the budget,
Mr.. Astor is preparing to hand
over half his fortune to his son
now, instead of in his will. The
present Chancellor of the Ex-
/ cheauer prepared his bill with
great care TO prevent just such
tricks. and we doubt greatly
whether the ex-American will be
able to avoid the tax. In these
radical times it begins to look as
if England, as well as America,
were pretty tough place for a
gentleman to live in.-Chlcago

a law. Roach and Major then
announced that they were going
to proclaim it themselves by
publishing it in the Session Acts.
The Governor advised them that
if they did so it would be an i'm
proper use of public funds, and
that he would institute suit to
prevent it. AS the last thing that
these politicians wanted was to
have the Supreme Court pass
upon the legality of their action
they have abandoned their efforts
to promulgate this gerrymander,
and now don't know what to do
with it. 1t is of no effect until
proclaimed and they are afraid
to proclaim it because if they do
the Governor will take them into
the courts. The time when two
Democratic politicians who hap
pen to be holding Office can di-
vide this State into Senatorial
districts giving the Democratic |
party, which is the minority |
party, tWenty-four Senatorial
districts, and the Republican
party, which is the majority
party, ten Senatorial districts,
has gone by. What hurts the
Democratic newspapers and
politicians is that they know this
is true.

The War Department is said to
be devising plans to "popularize"
the army by providing a six
months term of enlistment.
This, it is hoped, will induce
young men just out OF the
schools and colleges to join the
army for that period. Army life
will never be popular with the
American boys as long as the
commissioned officers treat them
as dogs as part of the discipline.
This is the chief cause OF the
great percentage of desertions
from the army today. The aver
age American boy will submit to
true discipline in army life easy

The Public Drinking Cup.

Authorities say that in the
mouths of eight out of every ter
persons some disease-producine
bacteria may be found, and that
of diptheria, tuberculosis, small.
pox, chickenpox, scarlet fever,
typhoid fever, or any contagious
disease may be contracted by
drinking from a public drinking
cup. Parents often say that
their child contracted disease
from the air, that they know he
had never been exposed, yet
their own hand may have invited
the disease by offering to the
child a cup from which dozens
of disease-laden mouths have
been drinking.
Men who have their children
in charge on holidays and fair
days are the worst offenders in
permitting children to drink
from the public cup. They Of
ten jeer at child good -natured-
ly for being too NICE "Other
people are as good as you are"
they say, etc, etc. Many men
seem to think it is a sign of be-
ing a good fellow" not to be par
ticular about what and how and
where one eats and drinks. At
a banquet given in England to
visiting American of note, the
water glasses were emptied be-
fore the speaking was finished.
The guest of honor was thirsty;
he glanced at his empty glass
and the empty glasses around
him. Then noting two coffe cups
half emptied a few plates away
from him, he reached over, pour
ed the two together and raised
the cup. Permit me to ring for
Coffee" exclaimed gentleman,
but the American waved him
aside. This is all right" he
said, genially, I don't put on
any airs of being better than
other people"
He was a very clever man, a
genius in his own line, but this
one boorish act stamped him as
that impossible American, all
right in business way, don't
you know; but not the kind you
want to take home and introduce
to you wife"

from the public drinking cup;
let them carry their own cups Or
