Some Time ago | strolled on hot
August afternoon through the streets
of the Italian section Of Boston.
There were mothers with children
by their knees and with infants in
their arms scattered plentifully
among fruit stands, garbage cans,
broken chairs, old boxes and other
evidences that mark the civilization
of the poor. There were children
of tenderest years playing on the
streets where banana Feelings, de-
caying vegetables, old rags, greasy
water.-ilth of every description
had been thrown. There were other
children raking with sticks among
heaps of cast-away vegetables, look
ing for tid-bits that were suitable
food for pigs and rats but not for
human beings. There were infants
crawling on the sidewalks and out
in the streets covered with filth and
flies with disease and death lurking
close about them. Over all and up
on all came the burning rays of the
afternoon August sun that made the
walls and the walks and the streets
like the entrance of Tartarus.
There was no breath Of air that was
mol polluted with pulverized filth
and with the stencil of leaking sew
or pipes; there was not sprig of
grass nor flower To brighten these
little lives. There were no trees
here to make shade-there was no
room on the narrow streets. Almost
nothing would grow here but rats
and flies and human beings.
And | wondered as | walked in and
out among these crooked and sultry
streets why II is that our city gov
ernments do not rise up for the sake
of humanity and put a stop to this
terrible overcrowding and this
dwelling in filthy places that exact
such heavy toll of human life.
Why is II that enlightened and cul-
tured people, people who have con-
science and wealth, will allow our
cities 10 grow for centuries with
these cess pools of sickness and di-
sease scattered over them where
the iackals of civilization tear out
with their poisoned fangs the joy
and the virtue and the life of so
many thousands of innocent chill
dren who are damned into life only
Ia be damned into eternity? Surely
our civilization of which We often
boast so proudly does not always
clNilize.
have walked much through the
streets Of other cities Birmingham,
Memphis, Cincinnati, Louisville,
Washington, New York, and else
where and have seen things in all
these cities that make il impossible
for the children of the poor to have
an honest fighting chance against the
tremendous odds that confront them.

Spain Honors Their King
The twenty-eighth anniversary of
King Alfonso is being enthusiast
cally celebrated throughout the
whole of Spain. He has already
rclgncd for nearly three decades,
and yet he is not thirty-three years
Of age. He was born monarch, as
his father had died six months pre-
Vious to his birth. During his
reign Spain has become more pros
porous and more satisfied with her
condition than during any period
since the Middle Ages. She has

Will Canada Become a Republicf

Great Britain is losing her mold up

part of the political force Of the
Dominion, naturally tend towards
republleanism.
One Of the symptoms of declining
British interest is the decay of the
Cricket Club, formerly very popu-

advertising pages, is regarded as be-
ing decided factor.

IN A COURT WRANGLE

Belf1eld, n. D., April 7.-There is a
controversy here between Drs. Spear
and Cowgirl. The former asks for a
restraining order against the latter
to prevent DR.. Cowgirl from practicing.
Some months ago Cowgirl sold his
practice to Spear and went to Canada.
Later he returned to make some col
lectlons and began prescribing for
patients. Spear insists that under
the contract Cowgirl was not TO prac-
tice medicine at this point after the
sole. Judge Crawford decided both
were guilty of a breach of contract
and that if Spear made certain pay
rhents to Cowgirl a restraining order
would be issued. If that was not done
the case could be dismissed by Cow
gill returning certain notes to Spear.
