To be Better

something,' as the homcv phrase for
measurable success has it.
This is where the surgeon and his
knife become part of the equation. A
simple operation, dangerlcss, removes
the source of trouble. The boy be
comes as nature intended him to be.
Yet, a few years ago, science did not
know this and the baby that bumped
its little head had the finest oppor-
tunity to grow up as a criminal, or, at
least, detriment to society. The sur
geon's knife is better as a corrective
than the rod of punishment.
Then, there is the child that cannot
learn, that is always behind normal
youngsters of its age. Science now
says that stupidity is to be cured by
surgery, too. The child that is stupid
that is vacant eyed and seemingly pur-
poseless, is, nine times out of ten, af-
flicted with adenods. Enlarged ton
sis or adenod growths in the upper
part of the throat are responsible for
thousands upon thousands of cases of
mental inefficiency. To take out the
adenoids is not very serious matter,
yet the results are wonderful. Opera
lions for the removal of such growths
are being performed in great numbers
every day now. The surgeon IS knife

Stealing a River.

From the Omaha World Herald
There is an old phrase used to describe
a successful thief. 1t is said that '.he
could steal a red-hot stove" But it
seems that some one has appeared in
Nebraska who Is far more efficient than
that. He has stolen a river and hidden
II where no one can find 1t. At first
the farmers in the western part of the
state said the government stole it. and
they were going to sue the government
or bring claims in Congress for the full
value of the river. Lately that plan
seems to have been abandoned and they
are calling on the biologists and hydraulic
engineers to find the thief
The river has disappeared. There is
no doubt about that. Any man who has
travelled west from Omaha over the rail-
roads during the last few weeks will bear
testimony that there are many miles Of
the channel OF the Platte river where
there is no sign Of water, while further
up the stream the waters are rolling
along in large volume. Somebody has
stolen the river and what has been done
with it lis one Of those things that no
fellow can find out"

Congressional Privacy.

Representative Langley's desire for
greater privacy in the office rooms allot
ted to Legislators is to be regarded SYM
pathetically. The modern member of
Congress Is subjected to great pressure
and many interruptions and IL he is ION
the job in his own interests and those of
the country lie is kept extremely busy.
Any one who has spent time at the Capt.
tol watching the wheels go round knows
that most members of Congress have
more callers daily than they can conven-
iently see without trespassing upon their
time for correspondence and for the deep
study of the complex questions Of legis-
lation. So Mr. Langley wants to make
IL possible for members of the House to
hide behind partitions which screen them
from observation and insure them pri-
vacy when they are discussing the pro-
fundities of the tariff, the currency, the
trusts and other matters that absorb the
attention of the lawmaker, not TO mention
patronage and political combinations back
home. In the House only a select few
members are chairmen of committees and
SO the majority get but single room
apiece Screens and barricades Of books
and other materials will not sufficiently
protect the representative from intrusion
and embarrassing observation. Hence the
suggestion Of glazed partitions. and there
can be little doubt that the idea will an
peal convincingly to the majority 1t
may be noted in this connection that mat
tiers have marched rapidly during the past
few years in respect to the accommoda-
ton of the members Of Congress. Only a
few sessions ago the average representa-
tive had no place to hang his hat save
in the common cloakroom His Office
was in his pocket. He wrote his letters
at home or at his desk in the House or
at the desk OF some accommodating friend
who possessed the use Of the committee
room. In the Senate things have been
more agreeable for the individuals for
years in that each senator, whether in
the minority or the majority party, had
a room. Sometimes this room was in a
detached building and sometimes down in
the neighborhood OF the coal holes under
the terrace, but privacy was assured

Gentlemen of the Road.
From the Boston Advertiser.


Recently 1t was remarked, as a party
of automObilists were starting on a long
journey which would take them through
several states, that it was like the days
in which people travelled by coach from
one place to another. Several incidents
not very far from New York city, have
brought up another feature of the old
days Of travel. At lonely place in the
Palisades a touring car was held up and
the occupants robbed. This is not the
first instance of the sort which has been
reported in that particular vicinity. In
dividualism in travel, such as has been
brought about by the increasing habit of
the well-to-do to make their trips by
means of automobile, has also produced
the ancient order of gentlemen of the
road. The modern highwayman must
be very careful Of his shooting. One of
the things which he does accurately, II he
knows his trade, is putting the wheels
of the robbed motor out of business, with
several bullets from his revolver. The
return of the highway man proves, among
other things, that romance is not dead.
