A Literary BURGLAR

Edward Burts, in Jail awaiting trial for
burglarizing the James Carr residence, is report
ed to be spending his time reading books, many
of which are literary masterpieces" Those who
are surprised that burglar takes to good books
may be reminded that Jack johnson returned
from his Jeffres fight reading German meta
physics and VIM. James "Pragmatism." And
Jack johnson gave way to infinitely more de-
basing impulses than those which animate a
burglar
There would almost be no end to a possible
list of literary criminals once they were cata-
logued. Francois Villon was a veritabe Paris
apache and cut-throat, yet he won an internation-
al reputation as a very graceful literateur Oscar
Wide wrote his masterpieces while in a peniten-
tlary. Benvenuto Cellini would rush home from
stabbing a man in the back to write page in his
Autobiography, work classic enough to find a
place on DR.. Eliot's five foot shelf Some of the
greatest authors have been among the worlds
biggest rascals. And many crook has used a
university education to pry open safes or blow
up vaults
What is often overlooked in our present secu-
lar and very intellectual schooling is that an
educated brain does not make an educated man.
If a man is crook to begin WITH the more train
ing he receives, the more dangerous does he be-
come. 1t is not enough to give a man steam
engine; he must also be taught to operate it.

The Real Cost of Eggs

Very few things can possibly exceed the
clumsiness of methods of ascertanng the
cost of living and the standards Of comparison
use in determining whether prices are low or
exorbtant. This is especially true Of foods.
food is merely a kind Of fuel ar IS cos
must be determined by the number Of kaat ar.+e
it can produce. Such articles as cabbage. lettuce
turnips, celery, and rutabaPas are large in bulk,
but small in amount Of available energy. Other
products such butter, cream, nuts, and some
cereals small in bulk, but contain high de-
gree OF nutritiVe material. To determine the
cheaper food it is necessary first to determine
the unit of nutrition and then to estimate the
unit cost Of the former list compared with the
latter. Thus it may very we'll fall out that butter
at thirty-five cents pound is far cheaper than
cabbage at four cents pound
Arguing on this very reasonable and scien-
tific basis certain club ladies of Chicago refused
to Join the boycott against eggs, averrng that
they are cheaper food at forty-five cents a
dozen than beef steak is at twenty cents pound.
This aroused the state food commission to &C
ton with the result that chart was prepared
showing the relative costs of twenty common
foods compared with eggs at forty-five cents
per Dozen Here is the results of their investi-
cation:
With eggs at fOrty-flVe cents a dozen a
woman can 20 cents if she substitutes lamb
chops round steak oatmeal She will save 40
cents if she buys beans. Six cents worth of rice,
potatoes, or white bread will furnish the
same amount of food value as a dozen eggs
To hear that it is not necessary to bankrupt
ones self our billion dollar hen in order to
keep soul and body together, is very cheering
news, indeed but nevertheless still unable
to negotiate cream pie with white filling.

The President and the y. S. S. "Piffle.

The President of the United States is head Of
the army and navy and is responsible for the
proper administration of insular affairs. In case
of war it is his duty to serve as commandments
chief of all forces, and in peace to see that army
and navy are maintained in readiness for con-
flict; and whether in peace to see that al
fairs in our island provinces are as they should
be. This last is duty which he fulfllls through
the department since the bureau OF 1nSulaf
affairs belongs to that branch of the federal
system. Therefore, to be equipped for war and
adequately to govern the islands it is absolutely
essential that the army be ever kept as efficient
and thoroughly trained possible.
In view of these facts can readily under
stand why President Wilson so incensed at
the antics of the Order of Carabao when it held
it's annual banquet in Washington last Thursday.
This organization is composed of officers of
the army and navy who have served in the Phil
ippines. Wit and banter runs riotous at its an
nual banquets and its after dinner speeches are
always filled with explosions of wit and satire.
But the gold-braided gentlemen overstepped
themselves this year by carrying through a very
ill-mannered program in which song, Damn,
Damn, Damn the InSurrectOes' featured with a
parade of three battle-shps decorated with Sec
rotary Bryans dove of peace and bearing the
names Fellowship Friendship and "Piffle y
A moving picture also exhibited in which a
Filipino desperate, after three year chase. was
captured and Immediately made governor of a
province.
1t the slam at Mr.. Bryans peace policy
that most incensed the President who Immediate
ly ordered Secretary Garrison to have probe
made with a view to crucifying the rascals re-
sponsbe for the program. The whole depart
ment is now on the warpath and is after the
scalps of the culprits who launched that battle
ship "Piffle.'
In the Presidents eye this piece of monkey
shining constituted breach of discipline and set
a bad example to subordnates in every depart
ment. He felt that he had perfect right to call
the hoydens to account. What would pass I'M
noticed among outsiders must not be permitted
inside the official family.
1t goes without saying that the President has
a perfect right to demand discipline among his
subordinates and anybody, even if not gifted
with Scotch temper, would call halt to such I'M
mannerly performances. But we wonder if his
ire not at least partly due to having that
spot rubbed again-his Filipino policy.
When outsiders who had never been on the field
criticised his program he paid little heed, but to
have the whole group of men who have had
years of experience in the islands turn their guns
on hm!-that must have hurt.

The Y. NJ. c. A. Returning Home

In 1914 George Williams. a dry-goods mer-
chant of London, called number of his clerks
together in room above his warehouse and or
gained the first Y. M. c. A. The kind hearted
man felt that he should do something to counter
act the unhoy influences which surrounded his
young men so he set out to organize club for
them which would combine somewhat the feat
ures of church and home. So popular did this
innovation prove and successful it spread
England and even reached Boston in only
seven years.
The Y. M. c. A. deserved its immediate and
widespread success for it filled long felt want.
To young chaps working in factories and stores
it brought an opportunity for social intercourse
games gymnasium and educational advantages
and it helped protect them against the erosions
of very unfriendly moral environment
But of late years the Y. NJ. C. A. has some
what switched away from its original purpose
and suffered from its too great success In
many cities it has erected buildings so fine and
equipped them with an outfit so costly and luxur-
ious, poor boys and working boys have STAYED
away, the former because its privileges had
risen beyond their pocketbook and the latter be-
cause they could not feel at home amid such I'M
accustomed surroundings. 1t is this which has
made such magnificent Associations at the Dav-
ton and South Bend institutions little more than
clubs for the well-to-do. The line of automobiles
lined up in front of the building almost every
evening tells that story

effect this must be having on the noble organiza
tion founded by Sir George Williams will there
fore welcome the good news of the Richmond Y
NJ. c. AS recent success in attracting and enter
tanning 1900 local shop-men. 1t will mean much
for the community if it continues to meet the

scene matter thorough the mail
was quashed in the United States
Court at Augusta, Ca, yesterday
Mr.. Watson is the publisher of a
magazine and a weekly paper and
has been making some onslaughts
on thu Roman Catholic church
and reprinted some of the filth to
be found in their books of in
structions to priests, for which
some Catholics desired to have
him prosecuted, or rather perse-
cuted. The indictment was thrown
out OIL the ground that it was not
possible to pick out a phrase here
and there and find one guilty
thereon. The entire publication
must be obscene to convict on
snch a charge. This lie a great
victory for the freedom of the
press and the propaganda against
Romanism.

It used to be that those who OBJ
jected to the reading of the Bible
were considered prosecutors and
tyrants, but now since our Baptist
brethren have arranged a Bible all
for themselves and fear that
should a Bible be read in the
school other than this rev one,
the positions are reversed and
those who want the Bible read are
the tyrants, according to A. John.
son, of Charity and Children. We
submit that if the desire to have
the Bible read without comment
is tyranical then what is the mis-.
slonsry spirit? Did the Master
assume the role of a tyrant when
he said go ye and preach the Cos.
pei to all the world? This appears
strange, since nc one objects TO q
convert being immersed. If be SO
desires, that our brethren seem TO
make this point the one requisite
to salvation. This opinion of the
Baptists' position seems to be
strengthened by the fact that only
q few leaders who know of this
new Bible oppose the reading of
the Bible IN school, while the
rank and file. unaware of this Re.
cent invention, are heartily in
favor Of it's being read therein.

this measure is particularly IN
