able. He leaves home surreptitiously
because OF an accident to a borrowed
canoe. and his letters of explanation TO
his father and the owner OF the canoe
are miscarried. As consequence, il
is believed that he is dead, and the
mystery is not cleared up until an
enterprising visit of a band of Boy
Scouts down the great river. Mean

boys may learn many things about the

circumstances throws him in touch
with a band OF moving-picture men.

rapid moving story-as rapid at times
as the Mississippi itself-and the action
takes us clear to the end OF the stream.

A Temperamental Governor.

Gov. Hunt of Arizona is incensed because the
citizens of that State disagree with him to the
proper disposition of murderers. The State voted
to continue hanging a punishment and deter
rent despite the governors campaign for the aboli
ton of the death penalty. Consequently eleven
mankillers under condemnation in Arizona are to
be hanged publicly with pomp and circumstance, as
an object lesson and offense to a law-abidng
population which has the misfortune to have select
ed temperamental governor.
Men in Office who take themselves and their
personal prejudces seriously than they do the
plainly expressed orders of the electorate generally
amusing, but sometimes nuisance. Then is
called into operation another kind of an execu-
tioner-the intangible but efficient public servant
whose title is "The Fool Killer."-New York
Herald.

THE OPEN FORUM.
No FoOt-and-mouth Disease in the
Vicinity Of Manassas. Va.

Editor Of The Washington Herald:
There appeared IN your issue OF Novem-
Der ., an article on the FIRST page un-
der the caption Diseased Cattle Being
Struggled Into the District" This ar
ticle does an injustice TO the dalrymen.
the cattle raisers, and Others, in Manas-
sas and vicinity. For your information
I would state that Virginia Is not un-
der quarantine and consequently there IL
no restriction upon the shipment OF VIr-
ginia cattle into the District. Why
should the people Of Manassas and vicin-
ity drive their cattle thirty miles to Lees
burg and ship them to Washington from
that point. when an embargo on cattle
does not exist here?
So far as / am aware, and am in q
position to know, there has been no sign
OF the foot-and-mouth disease in this To-
callty and II there had been our peo-
pie would have been fair enough to re-
port the same to the proper authori-
ties.
An increase in the shipments from Vir-
ginia points to the District does not
necessarily imply that the cattle being
shipped are diseased. 1t may be at
tributed to the fact that shipments from
Maryland and other points have been cut
on from the District, and the demand
for Virginia cattle has been thereby in
creased
therefore ask that this letter be pub
lished in order that the people OF this
section may be indicated of a seemingly
wrongdoing of which they are not guilty

School

The District corporation counsel holds that drug
stores are not mercantile establishments within the
meaning of the law prohibiting the employment OF
women for longer period than eight hours. In
his opinion, however, the law does apply to drug
stores operated by department stores incident to
their general mercantile business. A law permit
ting such construction is hopelessly defective and
it would cannot possibly stand test in court.
According to the corporation counsel woman
may legally work any number of hours day in
a store selling drugs and endless variety of
other merchandise, but if she is employed in the
department of large mercantile establishment,
which may be devoted exclusively TO the sale of
what commonly known drugs, the law limits
her hours of service And if the law does not apply
to drug stores by what process of reasoning should
it be applied to hotels, restaurants candy shops or
laundries? The sponsors of the law probably
meant WELL but they have imposed hardship on
employers, and, in many instances, on the en-
ployed, or those who were employed before the
law cost them their places.

Secretary of War Garrison congratulates Gen.
Funston upon the safe return" of his command
from Mexico, and upon the Skill and ability of the
officers and the discipline and exemplary conduct
OF the troops" which not only prevented any un-
toward incident, but reflected the greatest credit
upon themselves and the country which they rep
resented" Everybody is and ought to be glad that
Funston's army is back safe and sound; but these
words have strange sound coming from high Off
cial of administration which sent an army to in
wade another country and called back with nothing
accomplished Fighting is the business of an army,
and fighting invited when 1000 American SOL
diers were sent into Mexico; yet we learn from the
Secretary of War that anything outside of routine
camp life would have been regarded as an "un-
toward incident" 1t is to be hoped that those in
charge of the government have learned to depend
more upon themselves and less upon the Skill
and ability" of the army to prevent "untoward
incidents" on foreign soil. Soldiers cannot always
be relied upon to regard fight as an "untoward
incident

WHY No Treaty with Russia?

Why the neglect the part of the State De
partment to negotiate a treaty with Russia;
The Cars government urgently desires COM
mercial convention to take the place of the treaty
of 1882, abrogated by this country, and is, in the
mood to agree to provisions guaranteeing respect
creed of the holder.
Yet the administration twirls its thumbs and
lets the opportunity pass unimproved.
Are the demands of the Chautauqua circuit so
great and the allurements of vacation trips TO
Florida so engrossing that the Secretary of State
has no time to protect the interests of the Ameri-
can people and the honor of the iag?-New York

Ways Of Caring.
Ry JOHN d. BARRY.

UST now we can see all about
u US illustrations of different
ways of caring. Observe those
people who lament over the war
and make remarks like, Isn't ii
terrible? I never thought that
such a thing could happen in my
life" They speak as if they
cared. But do they really care
very deeply? Do they ever
think of doing anything about
the war, of helping in any way?

Time first my childhood took away,
Then seized upon my youth one day;
And later middle-age he seized
And though with hunger unappeased;
And as the years now onward roll
From each he takes some bit OF toll.
In strength, perhaps; in daily zest
For toil-whatever suits him best
His tax I pay, but willingly
However much he asks of me,
For in return for all his strife
He's granted me rich drafts Of life.
He's taught me how to love. and shown
The path to prizes all my own.
He's lavished gifts OF joy on me,
And dried my tears with sympathy;
And for each year he's taken he's
Enriched my store OF Memories,
Until my heart runs DER today

If the whole world really cares as much
as it seems to care, if the feeling expressed
had sufficient depth to break spontaneously into action
the war couldn't go 1t would have been stopped
weeks ago. In fact if humanity had been in the
habit of expressing such feelings monarch or
president would think of plunging his country
into war.

This business of caring is very curious We often
think we care and care deeply when only care
specifically not at all. as soon as the world
cares deeply about poverty, it enough
it WILL say, move heaven and earth to put an
end to poverty Meanwhile, the best those who care
or think they care do is express their caring
not by words not by saying Isn't it terrble?" but by
doing something, by actually getting to work and
keeping at work perhaps doing only little, but
making that little count.

There are times for putting burdens up to the
Almighty and asking that they be lifted from our
shoulders. And there times when energetcaly
to carry our burdens is to give the Almighty our

over the plight of others Where the plight is real

There are those, it is true. who have had the
erontery to lay the responsibility for poverty at the
door of the house of God But this kind of bias

ADRIAN NEWENS TO
 BE AT HIGH SCHOOL

Adrian M. Newsen will be the attrac- ton in the lyceum tonight. Mir. Newens was born in Medina, O., and lived there until he was 1T, when he went to Chi eago to work. Here for two years he worked at anything he could get to do. At the age of 19 he went to Drake uni versity in Des Moines. Up to this time he did not know that he had any abil- ity in the line of public speaking. In less than four years he had gained a wide reputation in the line of work which he has since followed.
 "A Message From Mars" which Mr. Newens will read Tuesday night is a comedy, great play, teeming with hu- man conditions and problems. It's theme is the revolution of selfish man. There are 15g different characters The marvel Of the artists work is that these Is char acters come and go with no apparent ef- fort.
 The lecture Tuesday night will begin at S:l5. Special car service will be given over the Boyles, Norwood, Sixth Avenue Terminal and North Birmingham lines
