that.
DR.. ]. Stanley Hall shows by the
record Of the German army that SOL
diers who had their natural food
during infancy have much greater
power of endurance and resistance
than those who, as infants were arti-
ficially fed. He. further says that
the nursing function, if lost by the
mother, is NEVER RECLAIMED in
the female branch of the family.
DR.. Lombroso and his co-workers
found that Of babies taken under two
years Of age from criminal and de-
generate parents, and reared in a
good environment, SO per cent were
normal and wholesome when grown;
but if left until six years of age only
so per cent. would be saved.
And this is product of our indus
trial system. Now, an industrial sys-
tenn that enables some men to pick
pockets from their office chair, for
ces some of their victims to pick
pockets by hand, or perish.
How to Change the System.
If we are ever to change this sys-
tenn, we'll have to commence by
equalizing opportunities. Well have
to- abolish the silver spoon and the
booted and espurred state. Well
have to adjust the heavy burden Of
taxation to the back of the sleek,
well-fed steed, and give the CALLED
jade a chance at the long grass and
green pasture.
Well have to relieve the poor Of
the burden Of carrying the rich
around in state by heavy inheritance
taxes, graduated income tax, and
abolition of duties and taxes upon me-
cessities.
Put the Army and Navy to Work.
VIII have to pry the army and ma
Wy loose, and put them to selp-sup-
porting work. Well have to secure
for the proletariat voice In the gov
eminent, by means Of the Initiative
Referendum, Recall, and Direct Leg
islation, and also give the children
better schooling under more favor:
able conditions.
Well have to give women the right
to express their views through the
ballot. And a great deal more we'll
have to do to become less lick-spit-
tie and more civilized-but this will
do for start

WAS 1sMAY COWARD OR MASTER?

If there was little danger on the
did he leave it? On the ship he
could be of use. In the boat he
counted less than a seaman.
The evidence is convincing that
whatever others thought Mr.. Ismay
believed the Titanic was going to
the bottom, therefore he embarked in
a life boat as soon as he could, and
had it lowered while it contained
empty seats that meant THE SAVING
OF OTHERS.
His subsequent conduct must be
the quality of his mind and the quail
ity of his conduct.
Boarding the Carpathia he insist
ed upon a cabin to himself, had the
door locked, and sign put upon it
reading, please do not knock"
The proof is not yet at hand that
he caused the details of the disaster
to be suppressed until the Carpathis.
landed, but there is strong pre-
sumption that his censorship was
early and constantly exerted to de-
lay the news.
His frantic messages, asking that
the Cedric be held to return himself
and the survivors of the crew to Eng
land must be considered with the
other facts.
ment, was in the we'll being of the
crew, but the language of his mes
sages drives home the thought that
it was in himself. 1t was he who
was madly anxious to leave the Car
pathia for the Cedric to avoid land
ing on those shores where were SO
many who would look upon him with
contempt.
He did not know, he says. that
there was to be an investigation. He
did know that every man he met
would be an investigator, and that
once landed he would have to meet
the glances and answer the questions
of other men.
1t may be urged he would have to
land somewhere. True enough. He
preferred England, where his infiu-
ence would be greatest and his
ears would be less shocked perhaps
with criticism not quite soE plain.
More probably he sought delay
merely for delay. He is a poor psy-
choIogist who does not know how
towards dread to confess their even
trivial faults. and how they delay
meeting those to whom the confess
sion must be made.
One of two conclusions must be
reached. Either Ismay is a coward
conscious of his cowardice and
shrinking from the results of it, or
he is a man so coldly selfish, calcu-
lating and cruel as to claim place
among the monsters of mankind.

Cardinal Farley At
Solemn Requiem
In St. Patrick'S

New York, April 23-St. Patrick's
Cathedral, the scene of many mo-
mentols ceremonies, perhaps never
had within it's walls a sadder service
than took place there yesterday. 1t
was a solemn mass of requiem sung
for the souls of all those who went
down in the Titanic.
1t was a funeral in every sense of
the word, except that instead Of bod
les at the foot Of the chancel there
was a catafalque with six tall candles
burning about it, and that a prayer
was used for those who have been
dead some days.
The body of one who in life was
not of the Catholic faith cannot be
buried from an edifice of that COM
munion. But yesterday the prayers
for the dead were said for Jew and
Protestant, and men and women Of
no communion. And it was Cardinal
Farley himself who gave the absolu-
ton. Never before did the Cardinal
in public perform this function for
those not of his Church.
1t was a most impressive hour.
The officers of the mass were cloth
ed in their black vestments, the high
altar was draped in black, the music
was slow and in minor key. There
was not a flower in the big chancel
Many in the audience were in black
and the rest wore dark clothes.
Mgr. Michael j. Lavelle, rector of
the Cathedral, was the celebrant, the
three hundred and fifty boys of the
Cathedral College singing the mass.
The Rev. DR.. William B. Martin was
the deacon and the Rev. Bernard F.
McOuade was sub-deacon. The Rev.
John J. Byrne was master of cere-
monies.
Cardinal Farley came out in the
midst of the mass, his scarlet vest
ments discarded except for the cappa
magma and his little skull cap. the
latter never being removed His
vestments were of purple, the mourn.
ing of a cardinal. He was attended
by Mgr. Patrick J. Hayes and Mgr.
James v. Lewis, in purple vestments
This was the only color to relieve the
sombreness.

altar boys marched out, the Cardinal

j. Bruce Ismay's defense seems to
make blacker the nature Of his con-
duct in leaving the Titanic, while
there were women unsaved and hun
dreds of male passengers to whom
he owed a special duty.
His extenuation reduces to this,
that when he entered one of the life
boats there were no women on the
boat deck, and that there were un-
occupied seats in the boat.
This boat, as is proved by Mr.. Is
mays testimony before the senate
committee, was the fourth to leave
the ship. His own relation to the
circumstances were peculiar.
He was managing director of the
company, which owned the steamer.
He was aboard as the virtual repre-
sentative of the owners, and was sub
stantially under the owners flag. He
was to all intents and purposes the
superior officer on the ship. He
was entirely familiar with the peril.
He had consulted with the Captain,
who knew, 1t is shown, that the boat
was doomed. This knowledge was
unquestionably in the possession Of
J. Bruce Ismay, who, above all men,
was duty bound to see that every
boat that left the side Of the Titanic
carried her full quota.
Those several EMPTY SEATS, or
whatever the number was, speak in
eloquent silence of the manner of
man he was, and Of the quality Of
his act
There were 1000 persons on board
when the fourth boat left the Titan
les side. Mr.. Ismay, as an officer
OF the line. and as one largely re-
sponsible for the catastrophe that had
occurred. should have seen to it that
those who had a prior right to safe
ty were hurried to the side Of the
boat which he entered.
BY all the traditions q the sea.
and by the common manhood a
InOSe VINO are not COWdTQS, II was
his duty to take his chance with a
life preserver and stick by the ship
until she went down.
No other conception of his duty is
possible to those who know what the
discipline of the sea is and the re-
lation that owners representative
on board bears ito the captain of an
ocean steamship.
Two Or three hours elapsed from
the time the Titanic struck the ice
berg until she took her last plunge.
This was time enough to bring every
woman on board to the life boats,
and 1t was his duty to see that any
remaining were brought there, and
placed in safety within a boat, If
there was none other to do it.
But Mr.. Ismay says that at the
time he embarked none believed that
the ship was in great danger.

MIAMps SUNDAY MIDDLE

According to the Miami Herald the
Sunday law middle in that city is the
Illogical result of well-meant en-
deaYor.
Miami, like many other cities, is
cursed with some plague spots where
the lowest forms Of vice abound. 1t
occurred to a number of the best peo-
pie of the city, a few months ago, that
1T would be salubrious 10 clean up the
said plague spots, and a movement to
that effect began and seemed in fair
way to accomplish some good
Now, in Miami, as in other places in
the world, there are some people who
think that the end and aim of good
ness is going to church on Sunday. No
sooner had the move TO better the
moral condition of the city began than
they thought the best way to accom-
pIish results was to close the picture
shows, soda fountains, etc, and
skating rink where many of the peo-
pie obtained a recreation they hadn't
time for on week days. So they in
voked the blue laws passed over thirty
years ago by less liberal generation
against these harmless amusements.
Now, the Sunday law of Florida, if
you come down to brass tacks, is only
a little less strict than that of the
Jews, which said: six days shalt thou
labor and do all they work. But the
seventh day is the Sabbath of the
Lord, thy God: in it thou shalt not do
any work, thou nor thy son nor thy
daughter, thy manservant nor thy
mafdservant, nor thy cattle nor thy
stranger that is within thy gates
According to the state law, it is lille
gal to sell any goods except drugs i'm
mediateIy needed. It is against the
law to hire hacks, autos and boats,
even to sell ice or to keep anything
open except hotels and restaurants, to
run anything except mail trains and
boats; it is even against the law to run
electric light plants 1t was meant
entirely for people who lived on their
farms and village homes, and would
cause the jewellers in even small cities
the greatest inconvenience and great
deal Of suffering-in fact, if it was
put into constant practice, 1t would
disarrange the entire social public.
The people who were carrying on
harmless amusements in Miami insist
ed that if the lid was put on it should
be put on good and proper, and the
sheriff announced that he would
strictly enforce the law. Consequently,
all day Sunday his deputies were out
collecting evidence and large crop OF
cases in the criminal court will fol-
low
In the mix-up, says the Miami Her
aid, the real evils that affict the city
seem to have been lost sight of, except
by these who indulge in and profit by
them.
