And yet some people claim We should

Does the incident referred to con-
stitute an argument for more rightly
in the construction and the enforce
ment of laws governing the married
state? In all probability the troub-
les which resulted in the separation
of the Connecticut couple were just
as real to them at the time, as any
of the acknowledged causes for di-
vorce. Persistent gossip Is often
capable of poisoning the minds OF
persons who originally possessed
fairly we'll balanced mental equip
ments. That it is responsible for
much conjugal unhappiness Is well
known. If some of the energy de-
veloped through the long divorce
dockets that appear at every ses-
sion of court in which such cases are
heard could be directed toward the
correction of the gossip evil an in
direct solution, in part at least, of
one big problem might be reached.

METALS AND MICROBES.
In Some Instances Contact Means
Death to the Germs.

Experiment seems to show that there
are certain metals which are capable
of destroying microbes that come in
contact with them.
The microbes experimental with We're
cultivated for the purpose in jelly
spread on a plate. and pieces of metal
were dropped upon the jelly while IL
was still moist.
Any metal that had the property OF
arresting the development of the mi
crobes dest--yed them. not only just
under the place where it lay. but for
a narrow space around ii. The width
Of this space varied both with the kind
of metal and the kind of microbe
Pure gold. when freshly cleaned and

1t has been observed that the metals

this fact il has been concluded that the

Rowdylsm at Washington

Nobody looks for rowdyism in Wash
ington. Ordinarily the national capt.
tai is somnolently peaceful. The
hum of the bees sucking honey from
the flowers can be heard in summer.
The plaintive chirup of the sparrows
who can find nothing to pick up from
the immaculate asphalt assails the
ears of the farer along the silent
ways in winter.
There is less excuse for Washing
ton than for other cities If 1t is con-
victed of rufilanism. It's population
is, to a large extent, a selected, pie
fed population, literate to a man, and
"higher-educated" to a large extent
There are no hunger-driven, ignorant
grimy handed, dull-eyed, buffeted and
baffled Washingtonians. Even the dis
appointed seeker for a sinecure has
money with which to drink to the
early death of the possessor of pat
ronage who declines to recognize a
patriot, and to pay his fare home,
where he hopes to knife the Sound
rel who turned him away. Even the
outgoing officeholder who has at
tempted to keep his head above
water in the social swim, departs
with clean linen and an air OF gentle
breeding, brought to Washington or
acquired by contact with white
collared, high-collared, well-groomed
well-tailored, well talcumed multi
tude.
ragettes-harmless American
suffragettes who never struck Billy
Patterson or killed cock robin
were insulted by rowdies in Wash
ington? And the police who hadn't
done days work in twelve
month, didn't interfere and hammer
the heads of the rowdies into a pulp?
1t is unspeakable! We have had no
caterwauling, varnish pouring, She
goat anarchists in America. Our in
nocuous mixers" deserve the fullest
protection from the unprovoked ruff
fianism of thck-necked fools. They
have right to expect such protec-
ton in every city, and more especi-
ally in Washington, which Is habitu-
ally orderly, and even habitually po-
| lite
A sweeping-out order should be is
sued If members of the well-kept, I'M
derworked Washington police force
permitted the outrages complained
of. Every American has a proprie-
tary interest in Washington, and
every American who is worthy of
citizenship demands that a square
deal be given the girls, of all sorts
and conditions, of all varieties of
views and of every vintage, who
marched in the parade. What is I'M
chivalric is un-American. Down
with hooliganism, and with those
who were responsible for it! The
White Lot is not Hyde Park Lafay-
cite square is not Piccadilly circus.
Du Pont circle is not Trafalgar
square. General Rosalee Jones is
not the screaming, frothingiat-the-
month Pankhurst creature. And
these are the United States-land of
the free, home of the brave-round-
ed upon freedom and tolerance, and
pledged thereto.-Louisville Courier

What Ais the Tinkers7

Why line up against the toilers
In the good old U. S. A.?
Don't you want to see them happy
Working steady, with good pay?
Don't you think you should stand by
them
And extend helping hand,
Stead OF boosting other fellows
In far off foreign land?
What in blazes, Tariff Thinkers,
Is the matter, pray, with you,
Working hard for the outsiders
While your own you seek to do?
Why upset the nations business
With a crazy Tariff law?
Do you want TO see men idle
With a lean and hungry jaw?
You are working to keep busy
Ev'ry foreign shop and mill.
Would II give you any pleasure
II our own were standing still7
What's your grudge against the
toilers?
Won't you stand up and explain?
Are. you suff'ring from paresis,
Or a clot upon the brain?
