special TO the NE VS..
Metuchen, Oct. 4.-Edward Ander-
son had trouble with his wife, which
resulted in the woman running out
on the street in her night clothes and
calling on Policeman Hutchinson.
Hutchinson attempted to quiet things
down. but Anderson made SO much
of a disturbance that Hutchinson
called on Policeman Frank. Ander-
son locked himself In his house and
refused to let his wife or the po-
licemen In. BY this time Chief of
Police Flaherty appeared and as he
did. Anderson brandished ar K In
his doorway and yelled "Tll kill the
first cop that dares to lay a hand
on me-" Flaherty pointed a revolver
at the man, commanding him to
drop the axe or be riddled with bull
let's. Anderson obeyed orders and in
the company OF the three officers
started for the lookup.
On the way he made a 1unge at one
Of the coppers and WAS about to
strike the other when one Of the po-
licemen laid him low with a blow
from his club. Regaining his feet
he made another attempt to wipe the
policemen of the map and when he
finally landed in thee lookup 1t was
necessary to have a doctor work over
him for several hours. Hee was still
full of fight and swore vengeance
against the police Justice Weber
committed him for ninety days. An
derson's troubles are laid to an over
dose Of Railway whiskey.

The Adobe Ramparts of Assyria.

Nearly akin to Egyptian house
building methods were those of an
cient Assyria, where the stiff clays
of the valleys of the Tigris and Eu-
pirates furnished the rude mud walls
of the lowliest shelter, and the mass
of the walls of the city and it's pal
aces, temples and ramparts. While
there is no lack of gigantic statues
and symbolic monoliths, stone stairs
and paved approaches, and the re-
mains of the alabaster and syneite
facings, which covered the palmer
masonry, the real strength of Baby
lon and Nineveh lay in the masses Of
brickwork which, in mighty Baby
lon it is recorded, formed the lofty
towers and ramparts which for AZ
miles girdled district five times as
large as modern London with a great
wall, whose summit, embattled, and
forming a continuous chariot way,
rose from 800 to $50 feet above the
lCl lllc pam.
One hundred gates with brazen
hinges are said to have poured out
its legions in war and its millions in
peace; the great river, bridled and
parapeted, flowed in, through and
out of the city under the massive
bridges, over ample tunnels, and
through huge water gates which no
fleet might force or engine of war
lay low. Surely never before or
since, in the history of the world.
has the plummet, hammer and trowel
OF the bricklayer played so important
a part in securing the safety and
promoting the magnificence of a
great city.

of decency was only covered by the
ashes of vice-it was not dead. And
that spark responded to the influence
of the love which permeated this
woman's whole being, and of which
she gave unstintedly.
Thus it is with every human be-
ing. Somewhere, beneath the ex-
terror presented to the coldly critical
gaze of the public, is living, palpi-
tating thing-the real manhood, and
it awaits only the right sort of recog-
milton to manifest itself in right
thinking and right living.
OF course, this was an exceptional
case. Not every man who comes to
ones back door asking aims is wor-
thy. Granted, also, that charity
might incline him to leave a chalk
mark upon your back gate, that all
who ran might read, Herein lies an
easy one" This is not a plea for in
ulScr inmate giving. Wnat my friend
gave to the man in question was not
the food and clothes-any one might
have done as much-but she gave
him self-respect.
Every normal man has something
within him which responds to the
touch of human sympathy. 1t may
seem hopelessly buried beneath the
rubbish of materialism, or greed, or
ignorance, but it is there, and it be-
hooves every one of us to be decent
to every unfortunate bit of human
driftwood that chance-or the wis
dom we fail to comprehend-send
our way. 1t may be our opportunity.
AT any rate, it will be his.

TEAL FOR THE CABINET.

The Portland Ad Club is making
a campaign in behalf of the appoint
ment of Joseph Nj. Teal for the posi-
tion of secretary of the interior in
President Wilson's cabinet. The
movement is described as non-parti-
san and as backed by all civic and
political organizations. The choos-
ing of Wilson's political family
would seem to be matter in which
republican and progressive politicians
and newspapers have no legitimate
part. AS a democratic administra-
ton must stand or fall as such. it
would seem that a recommend from
political enemies would have little
weight with Mr.. Wilson. 1t is not
natural to take ones councillors
from among ones opponents, nor vet
to choose them from among the
friends recommended by the enemy.

TRY 1T ON THE BABY.

Well, well, Dr. Harvey Wiley, our
old pure food friend, is father of a
152-ounce boy, and Harvey has got
it all figured out how that boy will
be raised.
Our child" bubbles the doctor,
is to be a pure food baby literally.
He will not be weaned until he is
fifteen or eighteen months old. He
will not be given fruit until after he
is three years old. His clothes will
be very few and very simple. One of
the earliest lessons will be on thrift
and he will not be allowed to spend
his pennies"
Oh, doctor, doctor, how familiar
this sounds! Papa always starts out
by resolving that sonny shall have
naught but pure food, and every
sonny manages to consume his por-
tion of mud pies. Often, often, we
heard announcements that baby
wouldn't be weaned until fifteen to
eighteen months old, but something
has usually vetoed that And Just
think of no fruit until three years
old! No orange, no banana, no taste
of preserves, no nibble of apple.
Why, Doc, We'll bet a number eight
nursing bottle that you'll be begging
for Just a little bite" of fruit for
that blessed John Harvey Wiley be-
fore he's two years old.
Very few and simple clothes, too.
Oh, man, man, wait till you see the
many and elaborate duds it will take
to properly clothe" that youngster!
But the lesson on thrift is all
sound policy yard wide, doctor.
Make him save his pennies. Get him
one of those cute little banks that
no one save papa can open. 1t will
come in so pat when there isn't exact
change in the house to pay the milk
man or the laundry lady. There is
positively no trait that should be
more early rooted in children than
that of putting their pennies in a
bank that they cannot open. We
have known parents to foolishly neg
lect this, to their sorrow.
But seriously, doctor, isn't your
angelic theory of raising a kid a good
deal of hoax? How were yoA
started off? You have fine mind
a courageous heart, and a great big,
honest, wholesome body. You can
take and give hard knocks. Life, ac-
cording to the doctors, is pretty
much struggle for immunity from
germs of one sort or another, and the
wonder is that so many prove fit
to live. Would you be what you are
today, Papa Wiley, had you been
Graded under gauze, been pasteur-
lied and sterilized and formaldehyd-
ed, and filled by rule and rote?
Blessed is the lot of the man who
can look upon his new son, raise his
right hand and swear just how he is
going to feed, clothe and fashion him
Beautiful are such castles of father.
hood, but just a few whiffs of time
and those castles fall off into the un.

ture is anything but a machine and
it takes mighty busy papa to make
it go as such.

TALKS ON ADVERTISING TO It'd.
INGS READERS.
(By Ralph Kaye.)

Everybody needs shoes-a condi-
tion of affairs that every shoe retail
er should remember.
It's not question of educating
people to buy shoes, but to buy his
shoes.
1t strikes me there are different
classes of buyers the shoe man should
appeal to:
Ihe Office man wants shoe COM
tort appearance, easy to polish
The collector, superintendent and
general outdoor men, who do a great
deal of walking, want shoes that will
wear stand hard usage and be water
proof.
The professional man-doctor,
lawyer, etc.-wants shoes of good ap-
pearance, stylish and durable.
The college and club men want
style first and foremost.
The youngsters need shoes that
can stand sliding and kicking every
thing.
The women want their shoes styl-
lsh, shoes that make their feet look
small and stylish.
If the shoe dealer would apply the
merits of their shoes to the require
ments of their customers, they would
strike sympathetic chord. The ap-
peal would be personal.
Next talk will be on furniture.

FROM WEDDING CLOUDLAND TO
DIVORCE PIGSTY.

Miss Violet Dove and DR.. Milo E.
Hartman were married recently at
Kansas City
They wanted a different" we'd
ding-and they had it.
They were united in the holy
bonds while standing in the basket
of one of the balloons which were
starting in the great elimination race.
AS the preacher said man and
wife" the great gasbag-we refer
here to the balloon-was cut loose
and shot up into cloudland.
At the end of few short hours,
obeying the law of gravitation, they
descended, and-sad to relate-in-
stead of alighting in some sylvan
glen, haunted by fays and dryads,
they landed in a hog-pen!
So many weddings are like that!
1t wasn't so very different" after
all. They start in the unstable bas-

short time into the cloudland of
ecstasy. The clouds are beautiful,
but they are much more agreeable
when looked at from a distance than
when used for purposes of naviga-
tion. For one thing. they are damp
They are cold. They chill the warm
and generous enthusiasms which
thrill those standing in the basket
before the word is given, Turn her
loose!" The dampness makes the
balloon heavier. The gas of court
ship leaks out. The law of gravita-
tion pulls down toward earth.
And when the earth of common
life is reached, so many of the poor
creatures find themselves in the pig
sty of the divorce court!
The cloudland of the honeymoon
should be part of the life of every
boy and girl. But can't we all do
something to make their landing on
the common earth where people
work more certain to be safer and
cleaner? The coming down is the
crisis. And the mutual confidence
and trust, and the characters that
make trust and confidence inevitable,
are, after all, the things that insure
against the pig-pen finale.

THE FIRE PROTECTION BONDS.

In the agitation over the proposed
electric light bonds but little is said
regarding the proposed $4,000 issue
of bonds for the purchase of a motor
hose truck. There seems little if any
opposition to this. There is certain
ly a need for better fire protection.
On this there is no difference of
opinion. The only question which
has been raised is whether or not the
truck will be able to climb the hills
in the winter season and navigate
the mud of the lower part of the city.
Some claim that one could do so.
while others declare that one could
only be used on the paving. 1t would
seem wise to vote the bonds and also
wise that the city council refuse to
purchase any machine until it had
been given a thorough tryout in win
ter.
There is no question that better
fire protection is needed and that the
taxpayers are ready to pay for it. but
care must be taken not to repeat the
mistake made two years ago when
the present hose carts were bought.
They were thought before hand to
be what was needed, but have proven
in actual service an utter failure.
The council should provide against
the possibility of similar contin-
gency in regard to buying a motor
truck.

$50 Independence Women Vote.

independence, Ore, Dec. AT
the city election here yesterday All
votes were cast, at which a mayor,
city recorder and three councilmen
were chosen. The women cast $50
ballots. Those who voted were al
most wholly the wives and mothers
of this city. While there was no
stated issue between the wet and dry
elements, there was a choice between
candidates in their attitude toward
better moral conditions, and the
choice was decided in favor of the
best men.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen

A ragged, forlorn, Unlocking man
presented himself at the back door
of the home of a friend of mine in
nearby city, and asked for an old
suit of clothes, explaining that he
had applied for work at fifty differ
ent places, and had been curtly re-
fused, owing, as he thought, to his
shabby attire.
After he had told his story, my
friend sent her young daughter to
the attic for a discarded suit of her
fathers for him, and after giving
it to him and receiving his thanks,
she bethought herself that he might
be hungry. When she asked him, he
admitted that he was. She took him
into her kitchen and fed him bounti-
fully, and as he ate, he talked, tell
ing her bits of his life history, and
revealing, in the conversation, the
fact that he was we'll educated and
well balanced.
When he was ready to leave he
stood on the doorstep, his shabby hat
in his hand, his bundle of clothes
under his arm, and said
Madam, you have treated me like
a human being, and | shall not forget
it. Wherever l have gone this morn
ing, l have been repulsed and made
to feel my degradation. But you
have shown sympathy and kindness.
You have made me feel like a man.
And l am going out to find work,
with renewed confidence, because
one person has treated me with re-
spect."
He squared his shoulders and
walked off down the street with the
step of conqueror, and that one act
of youthfulness bore fruit that made
the woman's heart rejoice.
| was told once by woman teach
er in the University of Chicago, of
an experience she had once enjoyed
and use the word enjoyed" know
ingly and meaningly-while accom-
panying a Salvation Army lassie on
an errand of mercy in the worst dis
trict of Chicago.
She said that they passed among
men and women of the lowest type,
with hardened faces upon which dis
sipation and evil thinking and evil
living had left ineradicable marks.
She sank close to the side of the
other women who passed among
them fearlessly. Nay, rather, she
passed among them as a sister, with
smile here, a nod there, an occa-
sional CHEEKY word to right and left.
She did not speak to them as from
the exalted height her own life might
have justified But she passed
among them like a sister And a
breath from the heaven-the har-
mony-of her pure soul reached out
and touched the most degraded of
them all.
On every side was expressed re-
spect. Hats came off, voices low
cred, blasphemy ceased. The spark
