n,T BAD EYES MAY MEAN TO VI A NATION

uoov people think but little of the .oouences of bad eyes, unless
 ,r.dness. or very sore eyes are
 s.o.tened or present. Such condi-
 s..s are terrible, but they do not
 aroaten the people or state as much .ther eve diseass that are not ap-
 ,arently pitiable.
 poople who are blind or whose eyes <. bopelessly diseased are usually ''son care of in institutions and do '. become a menace to the public. ! D.. school-chidren whose eyes look ,ll right, but who have certain dis .,ses or defects that render study and .ducation hardship, may become a asncer to other people. A school
 ,h;ld horn with an undetected catar-
 .et or very ar-sighted, so that he ,.rnot see the blackboard, soon falls hsbind his class and becomes discour- .oed with his school-life. A child with
 tsr.sight, or astigmatism, or some E muscular defect of the eyes, by which when he studies his eyes pain and he ,ufers from hadache will contract a dislike for books, study and education and will perhaps be punished or kept
 after school for something for which
 he is really not to blame? Such child
 pn. their educational progress en-
 barrassed or almost stopped by reason of uncorrected physical defects, soon
 acquire bathing for education and
 all that education represents, and,
 the seeds of idleness and irresponsi-
 blity being sown, may develop into
 criminals and dependents. No flight
 of fancy is required to transform such children into the non-supporting "ne'- CT do we'll the wandering and menac- ing tramp, or the idle pleasure-seek-
 ing and misery-finding prostitute. Bad eyes that hinder education mean dstaste for school. likeness, tru- arcy, bad associates and habits drink ing, gambling, stealing. murder, pris- lon and the gallows may follow. This is no fancy picture. It can be proved by observation and statistics. Visit the criminal courts, the reformatories the jails and prisons, and how often do you find lawbreakers from the ranks of the educated. Some, it is true, are natural criminals, the off spring of criminal parents, but even here there must have been beginning proceeding some generations back, perhaps from some ancestor who was deprlved of proper training, education possibly by bad eyes. The great mass of criminals. however, are not born ofenders, but become so through as- soclatlons and lack of a cultivating ana ennoblng education, which is, of course, practically impossible if bad eyes or other defects prevent a suit able education. Education is one of 'he greatest barriers to crime and povrty. 1t is therefore essential that our children, the coming generation, should be well educated, and that bad eyes, or any other physical or mental oeiects, should be detected and cor fected, In order that the requirement @ an education may become as easy and agreeable as possible.

German Dirigibles Active.

Today's dispatches tell of the appear
snce over Ostend yesterday of a German
zepnelin- from which three bombs were
dropped. doing no material damage, but
seriously alarming the populace. The
zeal significance of the visitation Is tnat
the German dirigibles are apparently
being sent into action once more, aiter
q period of quietude. and there are al
ready fears in London lest that city pe
made the object of an aerial attack- II
would probably be easy for one or more
Of the fleet Zeppelins to cross the chan-
mel and the short space between LONDON
and the sea and drop NUMBER OF the
big bombs upon the city and escape
whether any serious damage would be
inflicted is a question. Thus far the Yep
aelin bombs have not caused much IN
fury. At Antwerp no deaths resulted
from the explosions, while the wreckage
ceused was insignificant. At Ostend the
three bombs merely dug large holes IN
the ground and shook adjacent build
ings. without inf1icting injuries upon
persons Apparently the destructive
power of these aerial missiles has been
0verestimated-
The gravest possibility. however.
which the English are now eontem-
plating is an attack upon the British
fleet in the North sea by squadron OF
dirig. .bles. operating from the German
coast. 4 bomb which might do but little
damage 70 a city would upon reaching
its mark put battieship out of COM
mission. perhaps destroy her. 1t is
claimed that great precision of aim has
been attained by the German dir gibles
in practice, though this precision has
not been demonstrated in the few in
stances of bomb-dropping thus far in
the war. Perhaps the Antwerp and Os-
tend visitations were designed not for
practical destruction. but for moral ef-
feet, and the relative ineffectiveness of
the explosions may not be taken as a
criterion of the work of these craft
against men-Of-war. AT tine same time a
warship offers a very small mark for a
bomb dropped from such height as a
dirigibie must attain in order to be out
of gun range. The bare possibility Of an
aerial attack upon the fleet however,
suffices to affect the nerves of the Brit
ish public. and this latest demonstration
at Ostend is calculated to make a deep
impression

House Compliments Senate.

In Its course on the war tax bill, the
House has complimented the Senate
at its own expense. That is to say, it
has left for the Senate to do work
with which 1t, the House. was spe-
cifically charged under the Constitu-
tion.
All measures for raising revenue must
originate in the House. The Senate
has the right of amendment, but the
House is expected to act with delibera-
ton, and give all sides liberal hear
ing. Gag rule is obnoxious to the
whole theory of the constitutional in
tent and arrangement. An allowance
OF only few hours for discussion and
a denial of the right Of amendment in
| the case of u bill carrying taxes to the
extent of a hundred million dollars can
not be defended except on the score of
might.
Indirectly. too, the House majority
makes a bow to Mr.. Cannon, now a
candidate for seat in the next Con-
gress, but opposed by bull moosers act
ing in concert with the democrats. Mr..
Roosevelt asks for the defeat of his
former friend and co-workeY.
As everybody knows, Mr.. Cannon is
out of office partly as the result of the
charge that freedom of debate in the
House was injuriously curtailed during
his occupancy of the speakership. He
was nicknamed the csar, and as such
denounced by democrats In Congress
and on the stump.
But the present House ma jority has
seem Mr.. Cannon's czarship and gone
it one better" 'Cannoniam" looks now
like "such little one' by comparison.
1t is not. however, materially to the
point to cite this fact. 1t is only an
other instance Of spread of mo-
lasses" where sweetening was spread
all around.
The important matter is that the
question of full discussion of the war
measure-its scope. its purpose. and
the reasons for it's introduction-is put
up to the Senate. and will receive due
consideration by that body under rules
favorable to discussion. The Senate
cannot be gagged. An effort to that
end has just failed. a number Of demo-
Gratis joining the republicans In the re-
sistance.
These are parlous times the world
over. We are not at war with guns in
our hands with any power, but are en-
barrassed by conditions which the
lighting powers have produced: and
those conditions must be met as they
affect US. The democratic revision of
the tariff is failure as a revenue pro-
ducer. Democratic appropriations are
record breakers. Let the responsibility
be fixed. but let the Treasury be put
in shape for any emergency that may
arise. If the House bill is defective as
to sources of additional revenue let the
Senate put it right.

| useful and important facts accessible

This man refers to 'the arrogance
which so hampers the American manu-
facturer." Arrogance" 10 a strong
word-maybe too strong-but it il true
that the general American attitude to-
ward the Latin Americans has been
criticised by them. They have re-
marked "a certain condescension" In

sentsd 1t.

old friends thought Of him as living In
raw. frontier surroundings. and when
he returned for a short visit to them
one of them said: Jack, I suppose
you are glad to get back to civilizs-
tion?" "Civilization! exclaimed Jack.
why. old man, by comparison with
the town in which I live this dear, old
community looks as musty as II 1t had
been buried!"
Untraveled Americans are too much
given to the idea that Latin America Is
all wild and woolly-something on the
order Of our own western country dfty
years ago. They are unaware Of the
real situation. A sight of the cities of
Buenos Aires and Rio would paralyze
them. while they would marvel at the
cultivation of the great plantations and
the skillful herdings on the great cat
tie ranges. In a word, they would sec
a world of which they had not
dreamed.

sides of the big water we may be
building too high and too hastily about
Latin American trade. but the field Is
alluring. and we should cultivate it as
industriously and inteiligently as pos
sible.

The News of the War.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
No country in the world has had such
accurate and comprehensive reports of
the war in Europe as have been pub
lished in America. That the accounts
presented by the press of the United
States have been amazingly exact is
shown by the confirmation which time
brings regarding the tremendous Oper-
ations on the other side Of the ocean.
Events which governments concerned
in war have withheld from their peoples
have been transmitted to the United
States. That is plain statement of
the condition existing. The forward
sweep of the German army, it's check
by the allies and the retreat-all have
been graphically and accurately pre-
sented. To say that no errors or mis-
statements have found their way into
print in this country would not be JUS
titled. Men and governments interested
in the spreading of untruth have had
their say, but the newspaper press
generally has indicated the source OF
all of its information SO that its credi-
bility could be weighed by the great
bulk of readers who possess discrimi-
nation. Yet in the face of overwhelm-
ing evidence of a notable triumph on
the part of American journalism there
are those whose wooden wit finds ex-
preston in referring to the dispatches
as lies"

Safety as q Habit.
From the New York Commercial.

From the New York Commercial.
For nation which prides itself on
It's peace and the safety of those who
dwell within its borders an annual cas-
ualty list of $4,000 killed and 100000
injured is altogether discreditable, and
there Is merit in the campaign for safe
ty now being waged on all sides. These
figures are based upon government re-
ports and are mostly the result OF
earelessness either on the part of the
injured person or his neighbor. One
of the most striking legends Of this
safety campaign reads: Safety. is a
habit and can be worn as easily al
recklessness." There is deep truth in
this. Recklessness causes a property
waste by fire of $1,000,000,000 every
four years. Recklessness causes high
prices in foodstuffs and contraction OF
the purse. Recklessness causes the
crowding of street cars, subway and
elevated trains and all the other inde-
cencies and rudenesses which make our
big cities so nerve-racking. Safety
by which is meant prudence. caution
foresight. thrift and consideration for
others-is fine habit and one well
worth cultivating.

The Twelve.Day Battle.

No material progress has been devel-
oped in the fighting in France during
the past twenty-four hours. Seeming
ly the allied fianking movement at the
western end of the line has not pro-
gressed as rapidly as was promised
two days ago. and it is believed that
the Germans have drawn reinforce
ments either from some other part Of
the line or from Belgium to extend the
covering position to the north of the
railroad and facing the fankine force
advancing from Peronne. It remains
to be seen whether the shift has
caused a weakening of any part of the
battle front which extends from st.
Quentin to beyond Verdun. and whether
in this event the allies are able to dis
cover the weakness and take adyan-
tage of it by a penetrating assault.
While the allies are trying to turn
the German right near St. Quentin the
Germans are trying to do the same
thing to the allied right near Verdun.
