tomorrow will say:
Though wholesale trade reports are
inclined to manifest more or less ir-
regularity, due principally to financial
factors, retail trade has expanded in
a rather noteworthy way and jobbing
lines which are somewhat quiet in the
eastern and southern part of the
country, maintain a satisfactory pace
in most other sections. Consump-
tion appears to be of large proportion
and while numerous strikes are being
waged throughout the country, indus
trial operations are such as to afford
widespread employment. Soil condi-
tons as a whole are favorable, winter
wheat prospects are good and farmers
are going forWard with preparations
for the ensuing season. At the mo-
ment the money situation with its Of
feet on credit seems the main cause
of complaint as regards general bust
ness for the future.

view tomorrow will say:
Bank exchanges this week at all
leading cities in the United states ag-
gregated $2.s73,302,65 a loss of 10
per cent as compared with the same
week last year. The somewhat in
different comparison With a wear ago
is due to the falling off at New York

traction at Boston, Philadelphia, Louis

New York. On the other hand, nearly
all of the other cities included in the

ly sex problems. conclude upon them
pruriently and find millions of eager
readers among young and old. The In
decent play crowds the theater from
front seat to gallery back. The SONG
wherein 1ndecency is adorned with
catchy music makes an immediate hti.
The indications are that this cpl

iod of revulsion. 1t is surely time.
Nothing is more dangerous, degener-
alive and subversive of moral health.
1t Is time that public amusement found

nuisance. And while this is being done

they appeal. Both are negroes, and at
the time of the fatality were engaged
in gambling, presumably "rolin' de
bones with one Barney Griffin, an
other negro. All had gone well until
Billy Best discovered that he had lost
a nickel. Not being able to find the
price Of street-car ride. or q glass Of
the amber-hued fluid. he drew his pis-
tol and tiourished it in the air. The
fight was on. Barney then drew his
pistol and they clinched, Barney hold
ing his sun on Billys neck and threat
ening to shoot. Billy got loose, and
Immediately it began to sound like the
Fourth OF July. Barney reciprocated
shot for shot-each shooting at the
other, but no shot took effect, a pistol
in the black mans hands being not as
handy nor near as deadly as the trusty
razor. Ruring the fusillade, George
Best. cousin Of Billy. who was prob
ably more adept in the use of firearms,
entered the mortal combat with his
pistol and fired shot that killed Bar
ney, the only shot that struck him. The
supreme court of Florida, because of
an error in the instructions, disposes
Of the case by affirming the convic-
ton of George Best and reversing the
conviction of Billy Best.
PROXIMATE CAUSE.
One Williams was driving his auto
mobile on the right hand side of a
public way at the rate of about fifteen
miles an hour. On the other side of
the street, going slowly in the opposite
direction was an ice wagon with a
single heavy horse attached. A large
dog, weighing 135 pounds, ran toward
the automobile. barking as he ran.
When he reached the automobile he
snapped at the right fore tire. blu,
missed 1t. and his body struck the left
fore wheel, which caused the automo-
bile to skid to the other side Of the
road, so that, while still. in contact
with the dog. it came directly
in front OF the horse OF the
ice wagon. which reared and descend
ed upon the top of the automobile in
juring it. The dog did not touch the
horse. Defendant in an acton for such
injuries contended that the jury was
not warranted in finding that the dog
was the sole, direct, and proximate
cause Of the injury, and excepted to an
order refusing to direct q verdict In his
favor. The supreme judicial court OF
Massachusetts overruled the exception

The postoffice "Merit" Order.
IChicago Record-Herald.l


There is nothing unexpected in the
executive order relating to the $4,000
fourth-class postmasters who were
placed within the classified service By
the eleventh. hour Taft order of Oct.
10 President Wilson, whose devotion to
the merit principle needs no further
proof. has directed an examina ton to
test the efficiency Of the incumbents.
as well as of other applicants. The Of
fees are not recaptured by the spoils-
men: the new executive order merely
corrects what was defective and "po-
litical' in the TAFT action. which was
much criticised at the time even by
earnest civil service re,ormers.
If the tests are to he fair and bus
ircsslike. and if in making the ap-
pointments tho heads OF the depart
ment will permit no politics or parts
anship to influence their decisions, no
friend of merit efficiency will have
cause for regrets or complaints.
Sweeping orders or statutes placing
thousands of men within any classified
service without examinations or other
tests have been justified or excused in
the past on the practical ground that
in no other way can progress away
from spois be made. Half a LOAF is al
ways better than no bread at all. Still.
where the merit service can be ex-
tended in the right way. without con-
cessions to spoilsmen. public senti-
ment heartily supports and appreciates
the right way.
President Wilson's order is not in IT
self in any sense A step backward-al-
tho much viii depend on it's applica-
ton. and here care will be necessary.

ABOUT OUR, LITTLE GIRLS"

ICedar Rapids Republican,
An Iowa man tells Of friend whose
little girl" went to work in city and
with the first dollar she earned she
bought a very tight gown with a slit
up one side. with no petticoat under IT..
Then she was happy and thought she
was the next thing to being in socie-
ty." That one little girl" would have
been better off IL she had never earned
a dollar, but had stayed with "mamma'
until some young man came along
wanting to marry her In trying to IND
out why little girls and big girls go
wrong we will have to look for several
things that have not appeared prom
inently in print and some of these are
the desires to be admired, to be
stared at and the delusion Of being
somebody in this world. somebody be-
sides ones honest self, contented with
being good and happy. even If 1t is in q
smaller way. We are too prone to cast
the blame on others. instead of taking
some Of it on ourselves. We shall find
that unless we can cleanse the minds
and hearts of our little girls. and also
Of our little boys that we will not be
putting evil out OF this world. Others
are not wholly to blame. We must not
teach children this doctrine. Teach
them some of the doctrines of self
blame and self responsibility. And it is
possible also that we still need the
grace of God.
