g.. Most boys are naughty sometimes. All, except those good little princes
and princesses in the fairy tales, seem to misbehave some time
And that reminds me of a funny story I heard about a jolly little English
prince. His name Is John, and he is the youngest of King Georges sons. He
Is full Of fun, and some of his pranks have Mortified his elders.
AFTER having been in a good many scrapes, it is said, his MOTHER Queen
Mary, gave him a vey severe talking to-
prince John seemed 81 ashamed of himself that his mother had hopes that
he would urn we a new leaf ".

doubt he meant to try. He was very good FOL a short time.

while wandering about wondering how to amuse himself, Prince John
found his sisters princess MaryO paint box.
"He picked up n Of the brushes and, dipping it in the paint, began to
decorate his face with stripes He used the gayest colors in the box, and when
he had finished he looked at himself in the mirror and grinned. Prince John
was a sight! But, alas, Prince John enjoyed the sight
"DownstaTs in the great state dining DON his father and mother and their
guests were having a fine time: The king and queen werep pleased that every
thing had gone off nicely. Suddenly they were startled by a wild whoop and
an awful looking little boy with a gayly striped face sprang in the door. He
danced ovr to the table, and it was only when he met the stern eyes of his
parents that he began o feel uneasy. The guests were too polite to notice.
"The next day when his mother called him before her she said:

SO
THURSDAY, SEPT. 1s, 1913.
Is DEAD?

An incident in which Miss Eleanor
president, figured last week, is being
kWideiy and variously commented on in
the press of the nation. 1t appears
that Miss Wilson, travelling from New
'kYork to Cornish, N. H., by train at
Knight, found all the lower berths in
the sleeping car taken. and was forced
ito accept an upper one or none. Her
Echaperon appealed to several men to
exchange berths with the young wom-
an, telling them who she was, but a
Estubhorn refusal came from every one
kof them.
The point of this incident is not that
pit was the daughter Of the chief exec
kutive of the United States who was
Ethe subject of this boorishness, but
that any woman should have been so
Etreated. An exhibition of this sort
gcould scarcely happen in the wild and
kFwoolly" west. 1t has remained for the
Eallegedly "cultured" east to give an
sexampie Of selfish d~iscourtesy that re-
~1noVes the actors in it from the ranks
/ of gentlemen.
It is regrettably true that there is.
even in this section, an increasing dis
sposttion to let women, old n young,
sSf1ft Tor themselves on the street
Gears, but it is shown for the most part
BfbY callow youths or those who have
never been in contact with the nicer
amenities of life. Hereabouts, a man
Eof mature yea will rarely see a
woman Of any age Or condition stand
sup in a street a while he is seated
at least, if he does it may be set down
as" pretty certain that he is not ito the
manner born.
1t has been pleaded that when a
woman enters the field of mans activ-
1ty she should be treated as a man
in other words, that the woman who
works for her living has no more
claim upon masculine courtesy than
one OF his W sex. Such a doctrine
shocks the sensibilities of every man
who gives a moments thought to it.
The very fact that the woman is
earning her w living-and Derhans
the bread Of a whole family-should
constitute the greatest claim on the
homage Of a man. Her brave fight
against the handicap Of sex (Which.
generally, carries with it an inability
to demand the same wage as a mani
SHOULD awaken a commentator that
would find meager expression in the
commonplace courtesy of a street car
seat. The masculine is very fond of
calling the feminine the weaker ves-
sel", and this is m~easurably true when
applied physically; therefore, as man
assumes the duty of protector of the
weaker, he is in duty bound to see tn
ther comfort.
That is simply the utilitarian view
the finer one, that of courtesy as
something that one owes to ones self
respect, should be-and in the right
sort Of man always is-an impulse
that cannot be controlled, and to neg
Elect which would make him ashamed
to look his wife, mother, or sister in
the face.

i " FOOD SPECULATION,

b It is reported that nearly a million
/ dozen eggs in an unsound condition
nave been found in storage in Kansas
| City.
! Ihus again comes the obvious an
sWer to the question of the high cost
| Of living.
1t is Of common knowledge that
speculation in food products is one
OF the common facts in American
life, says The st. Louis Times. Such
speculation may be noted in a great
variety Of forms. But the practice Of
storing commodities in cold s~torages
controlled solely by companies who's
business it is to hold for the highest
possible price is doubtless responsible
Tor a. degree of extortion not to be
traced to any other practice.
1t is not to be presumed that Kansas
City is unlike all other great cities.
indeed, the current report from that
city, as just touched upon, is merely
a duplicate of statements which have
emanated from nearly all other large
cities from time to time.
In the discussion of the high cost
Of living problem, nothing is simpler
than the process by which at least
one final conclusion is reached, name
ly: That the unhindered controlling
OF common necessities, and the arbi-
trary fixing of prices, regardless Of
the natural law of supply ant demand,
means extortion and hardship on every
hand.
Municipal ownership or control is
not the answer to most every day
problems; but in the matter of the
storage of food supplies there may be
something to say for any process
which takes the commonest food sup
plies out Of the grip Of greedy specu-
lators.

Gatun |. lake.

Philadelphia Record: When Gatun
lake is filled it will contain 1s3,000,-
600, 900 cubic feet of water. The pres
ent height of water in the lake is for
ty-five feet above sea level, and this
is nearly forty feet below the top of
the spillway of the great dam. 1t will
be a generous estimate to say that the
lake is nov about one-third full, and
that the Chagres river will have to
discharge 10000 100000 more cubic
feet Of water into the big basin before
the contemplated level lis attained.
The rainy season at the isthmus has
just about set in, and thus far the
rainfall has been below normal. Dr.
viding the present flow OF
the Chagres into the number OF
cubic feet required TO fill the lake, the
conclusion is reached that the eighty
foot level will not b attained i n the
basin until the end of the year. OF
curse, no ship car pass through until
the water is OF nayigable depth above
the sills of the upper locks.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Facts VS.. Theory.

Pittsburg Post: Instead of smoke
less chimneys, armies of unemployed
and open soup houses, which We're so
freely predicted as a penalty for demo-
cratic success, the railroads are
wrestling with the problem of a car
shortage. When the railroads are put
to their wits end to provide cars to
carry the business offered it is ap-
parent that prosperity is increasing
to the wonderment of those who
thought it was going to decrease. The
TACT that there is so much freight
to be transported means hat the in
dustries are busy, and they are kept
busy because the country is demanding
the products. The demand for cars was
seldom greater than it is today.
The failure Of anti-democratic pre-
dlCtlons will cause he people to do
a lot of thinking. In the midst Of
the present highly desirable situation
stand the voters of every political
party sharing the abundance. But
there is n class that is absent. The
professional calamity hoWlers are
among the missing.

Underwood and Senate,

Cleveland Plain Dealer: AS great
an honor as a United States senator
shlp is, some will doubt whether Mr..
Underwood can afford to accept one
at this time. In his present posi-
ton of floor leader of the house ma
Jority the chairman Of the Ways and
means committee is, next to the presi-
lent himself, probably the most in
tiuential man in the administration.
His conduct in the last two years has
been a triumph of broad statesman
ship. He is a source Of strength to
the president, an all but Indispensable
leader whose continued presence in
the house is necessary to keep the ma
Jority a fighting entity.
AS senator, Mr.. Underwood might
be one of the first ten or half dozen
leaders of the upper house. AS repre-
sentative his influence is overshadow-
ed only by that Of the president him
self.
