Mrs. Scott
Doesn t Know.

one pathetic feature of the afrai
which was noted today was that Mrs
Scott does not know of her husband
death, ana may not learn of it until the
steamer Aorgani, upon which she sail
ed from San Francisco on February 5,
touches New Zealand.
Pieced together, the fragmentsry
facts surrounding the great south pole
tragedy are these:
After reaching the south pole on Jan
uary 10, 1912. Captain Scott and his
four companions turned back and head
ed for Cape Evans, the base of sup
plies and operations. on McMurdo
sound The trip was fraught with dis
aster. The first death was that Of
Evans, who died from concussion Of
the brain at the foot of Beardmore
glacier The weather was abnormally
cold, and the dogs and ponies suffered
from frostbite. while the progress was
so slow that the food and fuel began
to run low before the party had trav-
eled 100 miles from the pole.
Captain Oates fell sick from exposure
and frostbite, and contracted both fe-
Yer and scurvy. During the terrific
blizzard on the night of March Is. he
wandered from the camp. His conpan-
ions knew that Oates was playing the
part of brave man. They knew that
Oates walked forth IN the raging biz
Yard because he did not want TO give
his companions tho pain OF seeing him
die His epitaph was written in Scott

Criminal Characteristics.

The mental and moral shortcom-
ings of the criminal classes are gen
orally accepted facts. AS a class they
are physically defective. The British
Association for the Advancement of
Science reported on the examination
of 5000 criminals and found them
to be about two inches shorter and
seventeen pounds lighter than the
average Englishman. Baer of Ber-
lin, reporting on the German crimi-
nal, gives much the same results.
Few reliable data are to be found in
American literature. Hamilton Wey,
reporting on 529 boys at the Elmira
reformatory of an average age be-
tween 20 and 2 years, gives an aver
age height of 65 y inches and an av-
erage weight OF 1873 pounds, which is
below that of college boys.
An investigation of height at the
Wisconsin state prison shows that the
Wisconsin convict is is inches below
the average American height. The
1921 criminals reported on are, at
the average of SO years and six
months, most markedly inferior to
the average American citizen in
height, He lacks IA inches of the
stature of the average freshman at
the state university, and is two inches
shorter than the average Harvard
student He lacks Is inches OF the
height of the men and boys who en-
listed in the civil war and is three
inches inferior in height to the Eel
lows of the Royal Society of Eng
land and English professional men.
The murderer is well above the
average criminal in height, somewhat
below in weight, but leading in chest
measurement and expansion. The
thief is we'll above the average in
height and slightly below in weight.
Criminals through fraud, though |
most often indoor workers, outweigh |
all others and have a good chest
lllt III llOu5h d small CAphA
sion, aas would be expected. The |
sexual criminals are older than any
of the other classes and the shortest !
in stature, excepting the habitual /
criminals, who lack 81 inches of the |
height of the average Wisconsin boy
just out of school, lack 2.5 inches of |
the height of the average American
of their age and 81 inches of the !
height of the average Harvard stu
dent as reported by Professor Sar-
gent. These facts are the result of |
an investigation made by DR.. Sylves-
ter, prison surgeon at Waupun, Wis.
A report of his observations appears
in a recent issue of the Journal OF
the American Medical Association.

Alcohol and the Human Body
Prize Essay by Hunter Schools

what we think may justly be called
poison our numbers have greatly di-
minished. 1t is more to be feared
than the tomahawk; there are more
of us dead since the treaty of Green
vile than We lost by six years of
war before"
The assassin of President McKin-
ley was born in a saloon, lived IA
years in saloon and was lodged in
saloon when he killed Mckinley.
A government report of Massachu-
sets states that one-sixth of all the
crime in the state is due to alcohol.
Careful investigators in England say
that one-half of her crime is due to
alcoholic liquor and Russia reports
that one-fourth of her crime is due to
alcohol Only one in 40 persons die
from old age. Nine-tenths die by dis
ease. Prof. Guttsdadt of Berlin states
there are the greatest number or
deaths from tuberculosis among bar

hundred and fifty-six die of it, while
among clergymen only seventy-six
out of every thousand die of it.
DR.. Delarde of Paris has proven by
experiments that when he exposed
rabbits to certain disease germs only
those animals which had been given
alcohol ever contracted the disease.
The more alcohol man takes the
weaker his will power grows, while
the weaker his will power grows the
more alcohol he takes. Edison, the
great inventor, was asked why he
does not drink alcoholic liquor. HIS
reply was: Because | have a better
use for my brains. How much FUR
Their along the worlds civilization
would be today if all bright youths
had been as wise as Edison. Sir Vic
tor Horsley, a great London surgeon,
says that the effects of even a moder-
ate dose of alcohol will injure the
brain so that it never will be quite
the same as if this poison had not
touched it.

STONE CASTLE CHAPTER MEETS.
Mrs. T. c. Geise Entertains Daugh-
ters of the Revolution.

At her home on Saturday after
noon Mrs. T. C. Geise entertained
Stone Castle Chapter, Daughters of
the American Revolution, at their
regular May meeting.
An unusually large number of
members were present, and Mrs. Hl"-
am Howell Mrs. J. E. Wilkes and
Miss jamie Bush were guests Of the
occasion. The meeting opened with
America, sung by the chapter, aud
prayer led by the chaplain.
Roll call was responded to with
Famous Women of Today" after
which the business session was en-
tered into. The chairman of the
committee on '+H1storic Sites" gave
very interesting report-that IF
the location of several historic sites
which the chapter will appropriately
mark at some future date.
This being the time for the anna
al election of members it was with
pleasure that fourteen new names
were added to the list.
A comprehensive report of the
proceedings of the national congress
was read by the chapters delegate
to Washington, Mrs. w. A. Davidson.
and her gift to the chapter, re-
gents badge and some D. A. R. sta

ing manner of the life and times of
the mother Of George Washington.
Mrs. R. R. Marlin read an appro-

Stands by Her Guns.

Governor Johnson wants to make
| it plain that California is not back
tracking in its land law programme
not even putting on the soft pedal,
Inference is in some quarters that
the amendment to allow leases of
lands for three years was a modifica-
ton, offered to appease the Japanese,
inasmuch as the new arrangement
practically permits of continuous
leasing of lands to aliens, as after
one three-year term all that will be
needed will be to change the name
in the lease.
Governor Johnson in the most pub
lie way and in the most positive terms
asserts that the amendment is not a
sop to the Mikado; that every bill
heretofore considered has contained
leasing provisions of one to fifteen
years, and that the three-year leas-
ing arrangement is now planned in
the interest of Californians only, to
give them time to adjust their affairs
to the new conditions. Governor
Johnson says:
The big thing we set out to do
has been done without swerving
and / resent imputations that there
has been any backing down or
trimming with the situation be-
cause of any influence whatsoever.
In all representations made by
President Wilson or by Secretary
of State Bryan on the alien situa-
ton not one word, not one line
has been uttered or written con-
corning leases of lands. The atti-
tude of the national administration
was not made known at all on this
phase of the question"
Secretary of State Bryan failed at
Sacramento. He pleaded against the
bill and was denied; he sought delay,
suggesting an arrangement, even
limiting at a new commercial treaty,
but was rejected; he suggested a ref
erendum on the matter, but was CIV
en- a "no" answer. President Wilson
has intimated an appeal to the courts
with the view, it is taken, OF having
the department of justice make cause |
with the Japanese government as an
evidence of good feeling toward the |
Mikados people.
Meanwhile, notes the Augusta /
CHI onicle, Toxic has instructed Wis
count Chinda, Japanese ambassador
at Washington, to make strong and |
protest against the Cal
while, the jingoes are still in the sad
die and jingoing to their hearts con- |
tent. |

PASS ON THE PRAISE

You are a great little wife, and |
don't know what | would do without
you" And as he spoke he put his
arms about her and kissed her, and
she forgot all the care in that mo-
ment And, forgetting it all, she
sang as she washed the dishes, and
sang as she made the beds, and the
song was heard next door, and wo-
man there caught The refrain and
sang also, and two homes were hap
pier because he had told her that
sweet old story-the story of the love
of a husband for his wife. As she
sang the butcher boy who called for
the order heard it and went out
whistling on his journey, and the
world heard the whistle, and one man
hearing it thought, here is a lad
who loves his work--a lad happy and
contented."
And because she sang her heart
was mellowed, and as she swept
about the back door the cool air kiss
ed her. on each cheek, and she
thought of a poor old woman she
knew, and a little basket went over
to that home with a quarter for a
crate or two of wood.
So, because he kissed her and
praised her, the song came and the
influence went out and out.

"UnCIe Joe" SereneIy Waits,

Uncle joe" eX-SpeaKer Cannon,
has contributed an article to the Sat
urday Evening Post in which he gives
his political philosophers. Uncle Joe
doesn't think much of the progressive
party, but he admits to a certain toll
GRAFTON of the democrats. That is, he
thinks the time has come to let the
democrats try out their ideas, because
the people have so decreed and their
turn has come fairly and squarely
The democratic party is now in full
power and has full responsibility for
legislation, says the ex-speaker, and
as that party represents the will Of
the people by a constitutional majori-
ty and the change has come without
any manifestation of passion or revo-
lutionary protest he looks upon its
accession to power in the hour of
threatened destruction of the consti-
tuition and the established structure
of government as very good evidence
that the American people are capa-
Bile of self-government.
No one" says Uncle Joe, wishes
the present administration success
more than | do, for the success of the
government means the success of the
people That is what we are all striv-
ing for. and we shall all wait with pa
thence to see whether the democratic
party in carrying out it's policies can
give greater prosperity, more diversi-
fed among the people, greater peace
and happiness than followed the re-
publican policies"
At the same time there is an evi-
dent conviction in Uncle Joe's heart
winch keeps him calm but not de
spairing In the inevitable jars and
frictions resulting from change OF
policy the old protectionist stakes his
hopes. There is no wise caution, he
remarks in the King Abad's advice
to the King of Syria: Let not hin
that girdeth on his harness boas
himself as him that taketh it off,
Naturally, one who is so STEPPED il
the teachings of protection find
many reasons to believe that tn
country will return to it after tryin
to rid itself. He takes satisfaction il
rejecting on the innate selfishnes
and weakness of human nature whic
makes men more eager to reform tn
affairs of others than their own. Eve
the great metropolitan press, whic
has been with them in favor Of tart
reform, will, he thinks. 'differentiat
as > what the terms mean whe
they come to deal with its products.
The ex-speaker's serenity, it ma
be stated in passing, is destined
receive a jar. The people are fndin
out what is hurting them, and ca
hardly be persuaded to return to tn
protective tariff.

The Record of 1918.

Many were the pessimistic prophe-
cies heard of the year '13, even be-
fore the curtain fell on 1912, and
should the ensuing eight months
maintain the record of the last four
it undoubtedly will prove year of
discord and disaster.
The year was still young when
Mexico found itself in the grip of a
revolution whose developments hor-
rifed the world Many hundreds
were killed in the terrific battles
which ragged through the streets of
the capital city, bathing its beautiful
plazas in the blood of it's citizens and
laying in ruins much of the famed
architecture which was it's pride. The
world gasped when that nine days
inferno eliminated in the murder of
the Maderos and some of their ad-
herents. Nearly three months have
passed away, bringing Mexico no sur
cease of internecine strife.
Soon after the crisis in Mexico the
United States felt the Christening
hand FTeralded by fierce and de-
structivc cyclonic winds in the south
and southwest mighty storms swept
northeastward finding Il temporary
climax in the dreadful tornado that
hit Omaha like a destroying angel,
leaving death and misery in its wake.
On its heels came the rise of the
Miami river, almost washing away
the city of Dayton, Ohio, and the
overlooking OF the rivers and tribu-
taries which feed the Mississippi,
leaving tens Of thousands homeless,
causing untold physical suffering and
material losses that cannot be esti-
mated. The breaking of the Missis-
sippi levees followed, and still threat
ems at various places-washing away
rich soil and farm improvements that
we're the result of many years toll,
turning rich men into poor in the
twinkling of an eye, levying an in
calculable toll of suffering and death.
The state of Europe has even been
worse. England lost heavily, both an
life and property, from devastating
floods. while her militant suffragettes
have established veritable reign Of
terror. Belgium has had one of the
greatest strikes ever declared, a po-
litical dispute involving the majority
Of the workmen in the whole coun-
try. The people of Germany, Austria
and France are grooming under heavy
/ increases OF taxation for ornaments;
social discomfort. the increasing cost
of living, actual shortage of proper
food and a fear of the European
Armageddon are apparent every
where. The governments of Europe
are swaying unsteadily on the brink
of the abyss of general war, into
which they and their peoples may
be plunged at any moment.
The second phase of the Balkan
war, which began after the futile
armistice and conference in London
was more prolific in many ways o.
physical suffering than the early
stages, because it was fought under
worse climatic conditions in tbs
depth of a particularly hard winter
