HINKLE FIGURES
IN SENSATIONAL
LITIGATION anew
THIS TIME A BABY CASE
Woman Asks $357.5O For
Keep Of a Child.

Macon, Ca, July ga rather unique
and sensational suit has been filed Ill
the municipal court against DR.. A. B.
Hinkle by Mrs. T. S. Stokes, of Telfair
street. Court attaches say it is the
first suit of the kind they have ever
seen.
Mrs. Stokes is seeking to be REIN
bursed for the support and maintenance
of baby girl, who, she says, was Civ
en- to Mrs. Stokes by DR.. Hinkle, and
who promised to see to the support of
the child.

Hinkle is due the plaintiff $357.50 for
the care of the child who died after
being with Mrs. Stokes for twenty and
one half months.
The petitioner "avers and shows
that on or about the Goth day of Sep
TENDER, 1912, said defendant did deliv-
eer to your petitioner little infant girl
qon said date, and according to the
statement of the defendant she was
thirteen days old"
Mrs Stokes sets forth that the de-
PENDANT obligated himself to reim-
burse petitioner for her services and
reimburse her for the expenses in
ecurred for the support and mainten
ance of said child"
The little girl was accepted AMI
Mrs. Stokes says she looked after he1
until May 80, 1914, when she died

months after the child was delivered

ed one cent from the defendant"

with by the defendant was that h(
furnished said infant with medica
treatment few times in its last i'll

toner shows that the only excuse de
PENDANT has ever offered for his fail
ure to pay petitioner for the suppo"
and maintenance of said child at tn
time petitioner approached said de
PENDANT upon the matter, was that he
said defendant, was waiting to ge
money from said child's mother"

THE CHARITY THAT BEGINS AT HOME

That there is much unemployment and great need
in our city is testified TO by all the charitable and
benevolent organizations And the winter has just
set in The conditions in Newark such as to call
for every effort TO relieve want and distress, the
tent of which is hardly realized
The charitable organizations are active, but they
depend for their means the contributions of cti-
gems II they are short of funds and supplies they are
practically helpless. And this is time for the en-
ployment of every possible responsible agency in ap-
peals to the philanthropy of the public.
The Evening Star is agency for this purpose.
II has established a Christmas Cheer Fund, which
includes subscriptions, clothing, food and fuel
all OF which will be duly acknowledged and distrib-
uted in accordance with the directions of charity
organizations or through individual information, or
in response personal appeals that can be authent-
Gated.
The holiday season upon which we are now enter
ing is couded by the thought that to many worthy
people it brings cheer that to them 1t is period
of restitution and hopeessness And in what better
way can Christmas be approached than by giving aid
TO the needy, relieving suffering and putting new
hopes in the hearts of the despendent and the de-
spairing?

CANADA As A RELLIGERENT.

Mr.. Taft in his address at Montclair last night
gave his Interpretation. former President and
as a jurist of the Monroe Doctrine applied to
Canada. AS Canada is belligerent in the European
the country be- under the laws of war; in
vaded by Germany Austria but the invading power
could not set up a government Mr.. Tafts statement
will go far and wide and excite controversy.
What the Monroe Doctrine means beyond the
fundamental principle that no European government
shall be established the American continent has
always been in dispute Our government has re-
sented all attempts to naval bases on the con-
tnental coasts and naval base or coaling station
Toes not imply sovereignty. And we have prac-
ttcally warned off European powers from making
forcbe collections of unpaid repudiated debts by
South American states.
1t is intimated that reason for our occupation
of Vera Cruz hint that European power in
tended seize the port and custom house to protect
its commercial and property interests In Mexico.
This power not at with Mexico and could
not claim the rights of war. Mexico not making
in Europe upon this power If 1t had done SO, as
Canada is now doing could the United States under
the Monroe Doctrine forbid the carrying Of the war
into Mexico? But 1t could oppose subjugation, it
did at the close of Civil War when the govern
ment of Macmillan overthrown.

ally Influenced by the charge Of the
trial judge. The indictment was for
larceny, and bankers Of reputation
had sworn that Siegel misled them
as to the financial condition of his
enterprises when seeking big loans.
Assistant District Attorney Train
tried to prove that obtaining money
by such representation was larceny,
but Justice Clark would not accept
such an interpreted ton of the law.
A case entirely analogous in some
respects was that Of a noted f1nancier
who contributed $4,000 belonging to
a great insurance company to the Re-
publican campaign fund in a critical
year. He was indicted for larceny,
but the Court Of Appeals held in his
case that the intent to steal was not
established, and the financier was
freed.
The analogy in the outcome is COM
plete. The intent to steal was not es-
tablished in SiegePs case. any more
than it was in that of the man who
contributed so literally Of stockhold-
ers' money to a campaign fund; and
unless the transaction is so open and
palpable that IL cannot be disguised,
the same lack Of intent will avail In
future to save many from punish
ment.
The general opinion, however, must
prevail that Siegel has been extremely
lucky in getting off with a light SEN
tence. A $1,000 fine and promise to be
good Is not heavy penalty for a man
who is charged with stealing thou
sands.

Two Days
BY ROBERT j. BURDETTE.

There are two days of the week
upon which and about which I never
worry. Two care-free days, kept sa-
credly free from fear and apprehen-
sion.
One of these days is yesterday. Yes
terday, with all it's cares and frets,
with all it's pains and aches, all It's
faults and plumbers, has passed for
ever beyond reach of my recall
cannot unsay a word that l said on
yesterday. All that 1t holds of my life,
of wrongs, regret and sorrow, is in
the hands of the Mighty Love that
can bring the honey out of the rock,
and sweet waters out of the bitterest
desert-that love that can make the
wrong things right, that can turn
weeping into laughter, that can give
beauty for ashes, the garment OF
praise for the spirit of heaviness, joy
of the morning for the woes of the
night.
Save for the beautiful memories,
sweet and tender, that hnger like the
perfume Of roses in tho heart OF the
day that is gone, I have nothing to
do with yesterday. 1t was mine; 1t
| is Gods.
And the other day I do not worry
about is tomorrow. Tomorrow, with
all it's possibilities, adversities, its
| burdens it's perils, it's large promise
| and poor performance, its failures
! and mistakes, is as far beyond the
| reach of my mastery as its dead Sis
| ter, yesterday. 1t is day of Gods
| Its sun will rise in roseate splendor
| or behind a mask of weeping clouds
| But it will rise. Until then, the same
| love and patience that hold yesterday
and held tomorrow, shining with ten
| der promise into the heart of to-day
/ have no possession in that unborn
| day Of grace. All else is in the safe
| keeping of the Infinite Love that holds
| for me the treasure of yesterday. Th'
| love that is higher than the stars
wider than the skies, deeper than the
! seas TomorroW-it is Gods day. L
will be mine.
There is left for myself, then, bui
one day of the week-today Any mar
can fight the battles of today. Any
woman can carry the burdens of just
one day. Any man can resist the
temptations of today. o, friends, Il
is only when the burdens and cares
of today carefully measured out to US

A Marrow" Escape

This story is told in a letter to a
former member of the Royal En-
g1neers of the British army, who is
now a resident of Montclair: A COR
poral and two privates of an Irish
regiment captured FIVE ipfantrymen
Of the German army in a territory
which was foreign to the allies and
started to take them as prisoners.
The corporal and his men, who were
on outpost duty, could not find their
regiment, and after wandering around
for a few hours, until late in the eve
ming. decided to camp for the night.
one OF the priyates, in spirit of fun,
had donned one of the Germans he'll
NETS.
Finally the party came to a quarry.
where the allies decided to camp for
the night. The private wearing the
helmet was placed on guard. The
prisoners, with the corporal and other
private, went into the quarry and the
guard was posted at it's edge, near
which was an enormous rock.
The guard sat down on the big rock
and, tired after his long hike, soon
fell asleep. AS he slept he gradually
slipped down from the top of the
rock and his hat fell off, remaining
at the top of the big stone. When the
private awoke, just about daybreak,
he was on the ground, and just at the
top of the rock he perceived a Ger
man helmet. He Immediately threw
himself prone, thinking that an
enemy was near, and drew a bead"
on what he supposed was the head of
a German. When he fired he knocked
the hat off the rock and then went
around to investigate. When he dis
covered that he had shot the hat
which he had been wearing the night
before he exclaimed: ITS a good
thing my head wasn't In it."

IS THE POWER IN THE BATTLEsHIPq

Mr.. churchs statement in Parliament yester-
day In regard to the naval of Great Britain
and its ability sustain the loss of dreadnought
month for year without imparing the naval
strength the nation had at the outset of the war made
little account of what Germany has been doing be-
hind her impenetrable screen.
Mr.. Churchill emphasizes the battleships' The
remarkable of the submarine in this war has
raised the question of the utility of the dreadnought
and may change the naval program Of the United
States The only dreadnought that has made any
figure in the war was the Audacious and she was
sunk, while the submarines have astonished naval
experts by their proficiency.
with her large facilities Germany can turn out
many more submarines, and there be no doubt
that of these craft under construction
with perhaps improvements TO make them more
formidable. The energy of the government now put
its utmost must also be engaged in other ways to
make more surprises for the allies 1t is now doubt
fi II any superiority in battleships is of great adj
vantage in naval warfare.

Won Specs German Pacific fleet has
to be correct, there may be interna-
tional complications which will give
the Galapagos islands a world i'm
portance.
Great Britain has made representa-
tions to Ecuador against what she
claims Is q violation of neutrality.
She demands that the Ecuadorean
government shall not permit Ger
many to use Ecuadorean territory as
a base for naval operations. Great
Britain, however, may be able to ap-
preciate the futility of holding Ecua-
dor responsible. This weakest and
most Insignificant of South American
States could do nothing to enforce
any demand on Germany. The mat
ter has, therefore. been officially
brought to the attention of the Amer
lean government at Washington.
Great Britain, in effect. demands
with the Monroe doctrine, compel
Ecuador to maintain strict neutral
itv. 1t is implied that if the United
States is unable or unwilling to act
Great Britain will deal directly with
Ecuador.
The movement of Great Britain to
take permanent possession of the
Galapagos islands would be in direct
violation of the principles of the
| Monroe Doctrine. 1t would have an
even greater Importance, as the ISL
ands are opposite the Panama canal,
and, therefore. of recognized STRAIT
egic value. The United States could
not permit any European power to
acquire them.
The difficulty is not, however,
| acute. Great Britain must, in jus
| tice, first solve the island mystery.
| She must prove that the German
| fleet has actually made use of the
| islands. She must then demonstrate
Ecuador's inability to defend her neu-
trality. Thereafter she might occupy
| the islands solely as war measure
promising to relinquish them after
| the cessation of hostilities. That
| either Great Britain or Germany
| would attempt permanent annexation
| of the group in opposition to the
wishes of the United States is un-
! thinkable

Wool is also a poor absorbent OF

After Julia Ward Howe had read the
many beautiful letters Of congratula-
ton received from her friends on one
Of her birthdays she said: "Well, II

Is what I must try to be-
What our friends think OF US, ex-

mendous incentive, a powerful stimu-
lus In helping us to keep our stand
ards up and do our level best. Their
faith in us often keeps us from CIV

from groveling.
One Of the first thoughts that
comes to us when discouraged and
tempted to play the coward, to turn
back and give up what we have I'M
dertaken, is what will our friends
think Of us?" Then, like Bunyon, we
put our burden pack on our back and
trudge on. We cannot bear to disap-
point the friends who believe In us,
those who think we amount to some-
thing; we cannot bear to disappoint
their pride in us, their expectation,
their hope of our future.
There are multitudes Of people who

This was one of the great secrets of
Phillips Brooks's marvellous power.

him, made him feel almost a giant in

SAVING THE BABIES.

Save the babies is maxim that has been ex-
plotted purpose in New York city, which from
present indications will be able to point to an infant
mortality of about nnetyye children under one
year old to every thousand living births during the
present year. This will be the lowest rate not only
in the history of the metropolis but for city of
the same class in the world. Never before has it
gone under the hundred mark in New York. Such
figures signify a proud achievement in human prog
ress. Increased in the scrutiny of the milk

innate dignity--a feeling as far re-
moved from mere selfish egotisu as

in the pursuit of good.
Who can estimate the value of
such an uplifting influence? our
best friend never embarrasses us bv
making us feel our inferiority or

ways gives us lift upward, a push

Looking Into Election Expenses.

From the RnliauelpDla IeieSEhph.
One of the resolutions passed by the
National Grange at it's meeting in
Wilmington embodied a request to
the United States Senate to investi-
gate the election expenses of senators.
It may be doubted whether the Sen
ate will undertake any such investi-
cation unless 1t can be shown that a
candidate expended more than the
$4,000 which the law permits him to
expend In his campaign. So far as
the reports already made show, no
candidate has exceeded that limit.
1t has been demonstrated, however,
that the popular vote method Of NOM
mating and electing. not only sena-
tors, but other officials, is an encour-
agement of the use of money in poll
tics. In the case of candidates where
expenses are not limited by law, the
amount of money expended even for
a nomination has been almost equal
to the salary Of the office, knowledge
of which we have recently had in thi.
State.
s.,e national law fixes the limit oil
expenditure, and If corruption is not
to run riot and only rich men to have
a chance. something will have to bt
done TO check the amount OF money
that can be used in State campaigns
Direct primaries are discredited BY
the scandal.
