PUNISHMENT EARNED.

Mrs. Pankhurst has been found
guilty and sentenced to three years
of penal servitude for melting out
RACES by the militant suffragettes
and admitting responsibility for the
dynamiting of Lloyd-G Georges house.
However much one may sympa-
thine with the aspirations of the
women of England, who want the
right to vote, thinking people can
not fail to repudiate the methods
employed to secure that end or to
endorse the punishment inflicted by
the court.
While it is true that the English
man is somewhat set in his ways and
now and then requires drastic meas
ures to shake him out of his SNUG
complaisance, he usually does justice
when he sees it, and no excuse has
existed for the understanding
hatchet-throwing campaign carried
on by the suffragettes.
Furthermore, if Mrs. Pankhurst
insists upon starving herself to death
she should be treated either as a
lunatic with suicidal mania or she
should be permitted to become a
martyr to her obession for violation

Some one has asked the eugenists,
"Who are the unfit" They are vol
uble with answers, but the New
York Evening Post complexities mat
tiers by saying that 1T is up to the
eugenists to prove in. "a large way
who are the socially inadequate, ="
and it asks the embarrassing ques-
ton, Are the feeble-minded more
harmful to society than the petty
minded or the wrong-headed?
The Montagues and Capulets were
not eugenists, we suppose, and neith-
er is the kaiser; but the enthusiasts
for that mouth-flling word will meet
with all the troubles that come when
a young mans or maiden's fancy
runs amuck as well as the burden of
proving who is physically and men
tally inferior Andrew Lang would
have said that a man was mentally
unfit if he believed that Bacon
wrote Shakespeare, and it is pos
sible that some of the so1ons at
Phoenix could not pass muster when
it came to a question of sanity.
As far as the question of mere
physical health is concerned we are
willing to give the eugenists all
the latitude they demand, but the
framing of laws on the subject is
not for amateurs. Moreover, if they
are to be laws they should be alike
in all the states. If couple can
step across the boundary line to
avoid a stringent eugenic law, we
shall have the same sort of compli-
cations we have had with our var
led state divorce laws 1t is anoth-
er subject that had better be left
to the federal government.

people get the idea that there is no
such thing as a single correct stand
ing of good spelling. Josh Billings
becomes as good as the president of
Harvard. Anyone can excuse his
laziness and inattention at school,
by the excuse that he is a phonetic
speller.
Furthermore, wholesale changes i'll
volve confusion and labor for grown
up people who studied the old way,
while the time of the children who
are now learning to spell is conf
paratively cheap.
Nevertheless, the English language
is being simplified all the time.
Twenty years ago everybody spell
ed it programme. Today probably
the majority of newspapers cut off
the words superfluous petticoats.
When Americans spell "honor"
without any "u," English cousins
call it Western barbarism When
the letter "k' was left off critic"
and public many editors kept on
using the *" for generation. But
these old spellings would look as
grotesque today as knee breeches
and silver buckles.

CORPORATION LAWYERS.

United States Attorney General
McReynolds says that new men for
the federal bench should be under
sixty years of age and without form
er affiliations with corporations.
Is there any reason why a cor
poration lawyer would not be as eff
fcient on the bench as they have
shown themselves to be as ATTORNEYS
general? Without doubt, Wickersham
proved to be the ablest, certainly
the most efficient, attorney general
the United States ever had. Probably
next to him was Philander c. Knox.
Both of these gentlemen had spent
the larger part of their lives as at
torneys of big corporations. They
knew the intricacies of corporation
law and applied that knowledge with
remarkable success when they be-
came attorneys for the people and
their former clients were defendants.
Attorney General McReynolds was
corporation lawyer until he was
employed by the government to pro-
secute a number of trust cases. His
training enabled him to succeed and
because of that success he is now a
member of President Wilson's
cabinet
1t might be a little difficult to Sc
cure new federal judges who are
capable and who have had no CON
nections with big corporations dur
ing the practice that was necessary
to qualify them for the bench.

THE RED CROSS AT THE
FLOODS.

Many shivering refugees in the
Ohio valley the past few days have
realized in a personal way what the
Red Cross society means for the
relief of suffering.
Except for this great philanthropy
&c machine, relief work in case of
sudden calamity goes ahead some
thing like this: Some charitably dis
posed people, with hearts greater
than the spirit OF comfortable inertia,
take off their coats and go to work
to raise money.
They consult with the social and
business leaders of their community
They at once find that persons with
prudent and cautious dispositions are
convinced that it is safe to "let
George do it." The national govern
= ment is moving, the papers chronicle
fat subscriptions from many places,
and they do not feel it necessary TO
act. Then too, the prospect of hav-
ing to face the actual embarrassment
of subscription paper is more or
less appalling, to them.
After such discouragements have
slightly chilled the confidence with
which the work began, solicitation
commences. After an extended per-
iod of struggle with red tape, inertia,
and the spirit of postponement and
of parsimony, money is raised and
forwarded. The committee usually
holds the subscription open to the
limit from local pride, fearing that
the community will not have made
a good showing. By the time the
money reaches its destination, the
crest of the calamity has passed.
In the Cherry mine disaster, a !
type of the way the Red Cross works
in "a hours after the explosion there
was an agent OF the society on the
ground with local workers all organ
lied and the work of solicitation and |
relief smoothly under way.
Not merely does the Red Gross |
parcel out bread for the famished
and clothing for the naked. It also
handles the bigger problem of re-
storing impoverished people to self
support. And yet the receipts of
this fine charity from regular dues
in a year are only $1,000. Yellow
Japan gives over 100000 annually
to its Red Cross.

SOME QUESTIONS IN Ell
GENICS.

Kaiser William seems to come
nearer to having his own way than
most men or rulers. In Germany
he is virtually the dictator in mat
tiers of art, music, politics, finance,
sports, architecture and journalism.
He dictates national policy, directs
public taste, inspires commercial en-
teTprises and to a considerable ex-
tent shapes the code of manners
and morals to be observed by his
people. When his actual authority
fails his known desire is needed
and, in a general way, what he says
goes"
The kaiser meets with only one
obstacle which he can neither move
nor surmount, and that is the work
Of Cupid The love god is greater
than the war lord, and the kaiser's
attempts to arrange marriages have
frequently met with failure. Recent
ly he caused an edict to be issued
from his foreign office against the
marriages of German diplomats with
foreigners, and the answer IS a dis
patch from Washington announcing
the engagement of one of the at
taches of the German embassy with
a young American woman. The kais-
er can do nothing except deprive the
young man of his job. -.-
The kaiser's i'll luck in regulating
has precedents from the
beginning of history, and whether
the attempt was made in the interest
of eugenics or preservation of a
race or family pride, It has usually
met with failure. Marriage by ar
is the custom in France
and in some Oriental countries, and
it is one of the penalties of royalty,
but in those cases social status or
rights have kept the upper
hand while the great majority of
men and women go on marrying
as fancy dictates; it will be a 1ugu-
brious sort of world when they do
not, and that is the fact the eugen-I
sts will encounter. The stories of
Romeo and Juliet, the Grangerfords
and the Shepardsons and others in
literature illustrate the everyday !

families as reported in the news

LONELY AMONG MILLIONS.

John Temple Graves was raised il
little town in Georgia and later
lived in Atlanta until William Ran
dolph Hearst called him to New
York. Mr. Graves had been in the
habit of knowing his neighbors in
Georgia After five years in New
York city he writes of the terrible
isolation one finds in the midst OF
millions of people This is the way
Mr.. Graves puts it:
when Henry w. Grady was hest
tating whether to remain on a New
York paper or return to Georgia, he
decided to go home because nobody
in the apartment in which he lived
could tell him about the little baby
whose little white coffin was carried
side by side with him down the steps
of the adjoining apartment The
inhumanity of cities overwhelmed
him How many of us have had q
similar experience?

houses in which I have lived on the
West Side, my front door, when it
swung open. touched the front door
of my next-door neighbor, divided
from one only by thin wall of less
than half a foot One morning, on
going out, met a pleasant-faced
man emerging from this door We
exchanged the casual saIutation of
housemates. This we repeated on
several subsequent occasions. l

taken out after nightfall and carried
TO the cemetery
Here was this man who, by every
law of life and every creed of Chris
tianity, was my neighbor-my very
nearest neighbor. I could almost
hear him breathe at night through
the intervening wall.
"And yet he had sickened, he had
suffered, he had gone through the
agony and travail of death. He had
been carried out in his midnight cas-
ket to the grave and his family had

Hall preceded him to the line thirty
days, and is now in Bisbee. He, also

tive, in lead, zinc, gold and silver.

sIMPLIFIED SPELLING.

The editor, having read the recon-
mendations of the Simplified Spelling
Board, and feeling that this subject
would afford a tranquilizing relief
from the acerbities of politics, turn
ed TO the literature of spelling re-
form.
He was amazed to find such words
as "asinine," liars" "witless persons"
and idiots" hurting through the
calm academic arena. Apparently
publishers of spelling books will not
find their old stock outlawed for
some little time yet.
If you assembled a group of in
telligent Germans or Italians or
Frenchmen, and read to them pas
sage of their own tongue containing
lot of new words, they would all
spell them about alike But if all
the college presidents of the United

English, no two would agree on
one spelling.
