"cANNED" FOR LAUGHING

IL is dangerous for any employee of
Julius RosenwaId to pause long
enough from his grind at the Sears
Roebuck plant to laugh.
1t will be remembered that a young
girl employed by Sears-RoebUck
went on the stand before the O'Hara
vice commission and testified, while
sitting alongside of julius Rosenwald,
that system of slaYe-driving was
used at his big plant.
She said that men stood over girls
and boys while they worked and
forced them to speed up. Those, who
from exhaustion could not keep up
the pace, were fired.
Thursday one of the bosses en-
ployed at Sears-Roebuck heard two
young boys laugh. They were imme-
diately fired.

HAVE YOU GOT coRsETITIs?

How to perform an operation for
'corsetitis" -a condition arising
from wearing snug-fitting corsets-
was demonstrated by DR.. Herbert
Patterson of London, before a small
gathering of surgeons attending the
national congress here, at the County
Hospital today.
A woman suffering from corset
it's was the clinic subject. A tight
fitting corset had closed the pylorus
the gateway from the stomach to
the intestines-and DR.. Patterson
produced new pylorus by pUnctur-
ing the stomach, cutting the intes-
tines a few inches below the old py-
lorus and connecting the two open
ings.
The same sort of operation, he ex-
planned, might be necessary in the
case of a college youth who wore his
belt too tightly strapped about the
abdomen.

FEAR SPENCER WILL TRY TO
COMMIT SUICIDE

Wheaton, ILL.,, Nov. 15.-Extra
guards we're placed about the cell of
Henry Spencer, doomed to die for
the murder of Mrs. Mildred Allison
Rexroat, the Chicago dancing teach
er, and Sheriff Kuhn expressed the
fear that the opium-dreaming man
without a soul' might end his life
before the gallows could be erected.
The man who Confessed to
score of murders passed a restless
night and today moaned and cried
like a baby. When the verdict was
brought in last night, he nearly col
lapsed. His face turned yellowish
green, his lower jaw dropped, and
then he screamed. Historically,
Judge Spencer, it was the general
opinion today, will overrule the mo-
ton for a new trial and Spencer will
be hurried to the gaIlows.

To Vote Is a Duty, Not a Privilege
By THE REV. G. F. AKED, DID, IL. D.

MO 81 tizen has a right to stay
v away from the polls, The
sin of doing nothing is the
deadliest of the seven deadly sins.
We can no more neglect the plain
duties of citizenship than we can
refuse to pay our debts. Indeed,
the discharge of the duties Of
citizenship is i'm essence the pay
ment of a debt, a debt the more
sacred because one which only
honor can enforce. Our comfort,
our safety. our liberty, the edu-
cation of our children, the we'll
being of the home, the priceless
boons of religion, have been won
for us by the unhonored toll OF
the obscure, the silent and the
dead. 1t is dishonest to accept
and enjoy blessing for which we
have not labored while refusing
to contribute a share Of unselflsh
service to the common stock. \
Hldu WHO tdil say hAh hpt
interested in politics" and means
by this that he is not interested
in the good government of his
city, ought to be ashamed OF him
self.

that the drinking water on the ia

me. 1t came like a blow In the
chest To this hour l recall the
impression made upon me by his
calm matter of-fact reply: "Of
course. But you see, every city in
America has been run by thieves"
This was eighteen years ago.
There is not a man or woman in
America who will assert to-day
that all our cities are run by

Challenge of the City" was pub
lished in 1907 He quotes what he
describes as a warning of James
Bryce. He says that few years
ago as a company of Americans
were about to sail for the United
States Mr.. Bryce said to them:
Go back to your splendid world
across the sea: but don't you
make failure Of it. You can not
go on 20 years more in your great
cities as you have been doing.
Don't you do it. II you do, you
will set US Liberals back in Eu-
rope 500 years"
This may or may not be a fair
report OF Mr.. Bryce's words. But
in his own monumental "Ameri-
can Commonwealth" the problems
OF city government are discussed
AT length. The new and revised
edition Of 1910 repeats the ter
rihle summing up of the original
work published % years before:
There is no denying that the
government OF cities Is the one
conspicuous failure of the United
States"
None the less Mr.. Bryce re-
fuses to take a pessimistic view
of the future, His final words
upon the subject are:
"All this is discouraging. Yet
no one who studies the munich
pal history of the last decades
will doubt that things are better
than they were % years ago. The
newer frames OF government are
an improvement upon the older
Rogues are less audacious. Good
citizens are more active. Party
spirit is still permitted to domi-
nate and pervert municipal poll
cies, yet the mischief 1t does Is
more clearly discerned, and the
number of those who resist it
daily increases. In the increase
Of that number and the growth
Of stronger sense of civic duty
rather than In any changes Of
mechanism lies the ultimate hope
for the reform Of city govern
ments."

The victories of violence are

done all over
And she who smears hand-rails

Righteous wrath is often an
excuse for bad temper.
Hatred of the wrong soon yields

We become like the thing we

Mi-Lady Militant hates the
tyranny Of the male. Granting
that this tyranny exists, it has

EXPERTS AND THE CUR

(From The Washington Evening

The hearings before the Sen
ate committee have been very
Illuminating, both to the politi-
cal and to the business world.
They have justified themselves a
thousand times over. The men
who have occupied the witness
chair, so to say, have been worth
attention, and have had attention.
And the members of the
Senate committee are still learn
ing. How long the COM
mittee will be engaged with the
experts is not. and probably could
not be, stated. But there should
be no hurry. Even experts re-
quire time. They can not lick a
currency measure into shape
while you wait; and what they
will now tackle has been rendered
the more difficult by the hungling
manipulations of a score and
more confident amateurs, looking
and pulling six ways for Sun

Victories of Violence Are Transient
By Ebert HUBBARD

Carlyle hated the wrong; En-
erson loved the good. Which man
would you prefer for a neighbor
need not be asked.
The persistence of Mi-Lady
Militant and her perfect willing
ness to sacrifice herself for the
good of the Cause Is beautiful just
in the degree that you admire
martyrdom.
But please remember that mar
tyr and prosecutor shift places
with lightning like rapidity.
He who is willing to suffer and
die for a cause will make you
suffer and die for the same cause
if he gets the chance.
Law protects the life and prop
erty of women, but not so much
as it should.
This applies also, in degree, to
men.
But to repudiate the law, be-
cause the law does not do all 1t
might, and resort to anarchy in
order to win a legal victory, is
playing the part of a mental de-
fective or a minor.
Harm must follow such tactics,
since it supplies in itself an ar
gument why women should not be
allowed to help make laws. The
ability TO abide by the law is the
test of fitness for citizenship. Be
fore you are fit to give orders
you must show your ability to
take them.
To shoot up the law is no bet
ter than to shoot up the court
house. If incendiarism is right,
where shall 1t cease?
The fact that a woman Is a
woman does not license the crime
of arson, nor make window
smashing part of holy war.
Great reforms require great pa
tience on the part of those who
would bring reformation about.
When you ask for voice in the
making of government, your
voice must not be keyed too high,
lest, mayhap, you inspire fear as
TO what may happen when you
ACQUIRE the power for which you
seek

-FOUR eArTLEsHlPs NEEDED"

(F'rom the Washington Post)
Three battle ships and possibly
four will be recommended in the
annual report of the Secretary
of the Navy, according to all IN
dications. Four will be none too
many. The addition would not
mean that we were increasing our
naval program. 1t would merely
mean that we were repairing tbs
negligence Of the past, when Con-
gress, instead of appropriatins
for two battleships, in accord
ance with the national necessity,
appropriated only for one.
The Democratic party provided
only one battleship last year, and
only one the year before. If faith
is to be kept with the people, four
must be provided this year to
make up for the deficiencies OF
the past. The blows at our navy
delivered by Congress, have not
caused our stock to go up In the
opinion of the nations of the
world.

And gone forever from the lips that burned:
There Is that be newly urned;
No vintage half rare Is found
The glass is broken into brittle bits,
Scattered upon the dusty banquet floor;
The empty bottle the door

The sarlands are grotesquely dead and dry
As mummied tresses in ancient tomb:
Like shostly sheets they rustic in the gloom
When memorys searching Eephyrs hurry by.

That glorious loves have persisted at high noon;
That bounding pulses deaden with the swoon
Which hoversd once above Gethsemane.

II HE return of William F.
McCombs from Paris with
the rejected French Am
bassadorship on his hands brings
once more to the front the prac-
teal exclusion of high class
Americans from important diplo-
matte posts unless they are rich
men.
Mr.. McCombs is not now In a
position to be compelled to de-
cline the French Enthusiastically
but it is an open secret among
his friends that his essential rea-
son in the beginning for refusing
this dazzling honor was because
the salary Of s17,500, Joined to his
own income, was not deemed suf-
ficent for him to fill this place ac-
ceptably.
In other words, through a long
process of elevating rich men to
foreign missions. we have come
to the sorry pass that no Amer

caliber either can or thinks he
can represent the interests of his

PASTE FILLING MOST HANDY
When Many Sandwiches Are to Be
Made This Is Practically the
Only Way.

When refreshments for an evening
party are under consideration, the
good oId-fashioned way Of making
sandwiches-by first cutting the bread,
then spreading it with butter, and then
laying in a filling Of sliced or chopped
meats out of the question. Before
the last sandwich has been added to the
pile the first ones will have become
hopelessly dried out and probably the
party will be well under way.
A paste filling is the quickest and
best concomitant when number or
sandwiches are to be turned out in a
short time, and given two bowls or
paste filling with different ingredients.
several leaves of sandwich bread-pur-
chased the previous day to insure just
the right degree of dryness without
staleness- and a good sharp knife, one
can pile up sandwiches by the score In
almost no time at all.
The best foundation for the filling is
mayonnaise dressing. The oil in the
dressing takes the place of butter, and
into the mayonnaise may be stirred
deciled ham, chopped nuts, olives, pep
pers. or any other sandwich filling de-
sired. If a boiled dressing is used,
plenty of butter should be used in it,;
or the slices of bread should be
brushed over lightly with melted but
ter applied with a pastry brush.
Chopped nuts and cream cheese make
delicious filling. Soften the mixture
with cream until it is the consistency
of paste Thin bread and butter sand
wiches with layer of chopped water
cress are appetizing and dainty, and
everybody knows the delight of lettuce
sandwiches with dash of mayon-
naise.
Use a long knife in cutting the
bread, and if the latter is the least bit
spongy warm the knife before cutting
each slice and it will go through like
scissors through paper Trim the
edges from the slices of bread; pile up
and cover with wet napkin for half
an hour; then spread the seasoned fill
ing between slices, spank the sand
wich smartly with the fiat of the knife
to make it thin and compact, and cover
the plate of sandwiches with damp
napkin until ready to serve.
