NEW ENGLAND BAND
 GIVES GOOD CONCERT
Weekly Affairs Are Proving Very Popular With the Public
 in General

Another large crowd ut Walnut Hill park last night Aas pleased with the mid-week concert. furnished by the New England bard. During the early evening I'd n thr, tened but |! did not serve to frighten away the music lovers who were present i,i large numbers. H. A. Littlehales led the band
 While all the selections were en cored the two making the biggest hits were: "Reinick's Hits of 1914" con" taining all the popular airs, and the descriptive selection, "The Indian War Dance" This last named piece was especially we'll received.
 An amusing incident in connection with the policing of the park occurrc when a two-seated carriage fresn from the country b'gosh! managed to sneak past the officer patrolling the promenade road and wended its way through the crowds until the officer stationed near the house of comfort spotted it. Then rather than permit the team 10 proceed and get out of the park he ordered the driver to go back the way he came. Thus, twice the pedestrians were compelled to step into the gutter to let the car. riage past -.,

The State House Squirrels.
 (Clevelanl Plain Dealer.)

Once more comes the suggestion that squirrels be banished from the state house grounds at Columbus Most Ohio people who visit Columbus will join in protest.
 It is claimed the squirrels chase birds out of the trees and nibble at the growing flowers and spoil their growth But the agument is not convincing. The small trees space in the grounds of the state house offers inadequate attractions of the birds. There is too much noise and confusion. Wild birds do not find downtown sections congen- iai when outside the city there Is all that was prepared for them by nature.
 Frowers are generally less attractive and less interesting than the squirrels. To trade would be to lose. If we can not have both let us have the squirrls. Ore can get the flowers at home or in the parks. One con have squirrels only at few places.
 The squirrels among the old res idents of Columbus. They have scat tered about the city. The city parks have hundreds of them, undoubtedly the descendants of emigrants from the state house colony. For a score of years the city has had an ordinance protecting them in any part of the city and tEe ordinance is enforced.
 There would be regret if the squirrls should be taken away. They give a unique character to the state house grounds.

Has tho Worm Turned? !?
(kansas City JournaD

The unexpected always happens. ot course, but the public is hardly pre-
 pared for the unprecedented spectacle
 of a farmer being fined because he re- fused to permit d motOrist to pass him. The central figure in this sen sational novelty was an agriculturist near Columbia. who was driving an empty wagon along the road, and, although an eager autoist behind him pleaded for him to turn out far enough to allow the car to pass. the Obstinate son of the soil turned a deaf ear to the appeals Even after the motorist had climbed into the wagon and shouted his view of the situation into the farmers ear, thereby de- stroying the alibi which is always of fered under such circumstances no relief was forthcoming Arrest, con- viction, fine and presumable payment followCd in bewildering succession
 Times have surely changed when the motorist can find himself on the long end of the score in the game of the road. It seems only yesterday when the favorite pastime of the rurar pleasure seeker was to pot the men who were fortunate enough to own automobiles. There was always an "open season" on motorists in the good old days when the devil wag- ons' strewed pigs, chickens. dogs and other live stock in their wake; when the hand of the motorist was against every man and every mans hand was against him--in the country. When the era of the siX-shooter or shotgun gave way to the country justice of the peace, the entry opposite the name of the man with the automobile was usually guilty The idea that anybody but an automobile driver Is ever in the wrong belongs to the new CT day when justice has taken off her bandage and looks out upon the world with a kindlier eye. But verify the motorists millennium is at hand when the hand that guides the blow is forced to dig down in the agricultural jeans and pay fine for not getting out of the way of motor car on Il road.

A Discrelit to His Union.
est. Louis Republic.)

On Wednesday a hearse, bearing the body of St. Louis manufactur- CT to the grave, was stopped on Kings highway by the walking delegate ot the local carriage drivers union. be- cause the other vehicles in the pro- cession were not owned or controlled by the local association of undertak- ers A delay resulted, which wus only ended by telephoning for an- other hearse and transferring the cof- fin. After forty-five minutes of anx- iety and fear on the part of the grief stricken friends, the procession moved on. r'..-. ....
 The walking delegate in question should not be left in his place until the. general community has had time ito express itself He should be thrown out by his own union, neck and crop. His fellow-members should remind him that even in the course of the bloodiest war, hostil- ities are. suspended while each side buries its dead. .. Such action would clearly demonstrate to the commu- nifty, but g. small part of which knows the spirit of union labor by actual observation, that the brutality which was so fagrantly exhibited Wednes- day Is that of an individual and not an organization.
 There is no man who knows or ganized workingmen intimately wi :, does not know that the sins against human feeling and personal rights occasionally committed by union rep resentatives are nowhere so sincere ly deplored as within the unions them selves But the general public has 10 way of knowing the temper of unionism except by the observati )n of the acts of union officials. This ist why there ought to be. in the in terest of a public opinion fair to the union labor movement, official repro" bation of such brutal outrages on de- oency as that committed on Kings highway yesterday. The ranks of union labor are filled by men of sym nathy and affection-human beings first and workingmen acting collec- lively second. As class they no more approve such acts as the one in ques- ii, n than the rest of us do. The Re phblic calls on the union labor forces of St. Louis to express themselves.

A Victim of The War.
(Richmond Times-Dispatch.)


 The one man in Europe who stands out as deserving pity Is Francis Joseph. emperor of Austria-Hungary. More than 80. decrepit, bowed down by lifetime of bereavement, he Is now called on to face the long-dreaded and blasting world war. There are insinuations in more than one quarter that the old man has lost the fine edge of his judgment, and is controlled by the rampant war party that for some years appears to have dominated Austria. This party, com posed of scheming and over-reaching politicians. know they must have the at least nominal consent of the old man before they embark on war. What pressure they have brought to bear on him and what tales they have DC ured in his ears will never be known.
 He had hoped to end his days In peace. Throughout his life he has been exposed to the most cruel of per- sonal tragedies. One has followed on the heels of another, giving verity to the superstition that the house of Hapsburg was under a curse And now comes the crowning tragedy. with Europe, as it now is constituted tumbling about his ears. and the provocation for the strife thrust upon him.
 He is one of the most pathetic figures of history. When he should be in some smiling, peaceful retreat, playing with grandchildren, he is in the midst of alarms, beset by fatter- CTS. the prey of every interruptions schemer that gains his ear.
