Tomorrow is the annual red letter day
for the scholarship loan fund, and it
is expected that it will be most aus
picious one in the history Of the Salem
Woman's club, which is taking charge
of this campaign. For nine years mon
ey has been raised on this day to aug
ment that already on hand, all previous
efforts being directed through one dis.
tinct affair. This year, however, an
entirely different method is to be per-
sued, large number of benefit events
to be given, as il is expected that in
this way interest will be wider, the in.
dividual expense lees, and the results
more substantial and satisfactory. These
events will be what is termed "chain
affairs" that is, each one who wishes
to assist in enlarging this fund is to
give an entertainment of some kind, u
card party luncheon, dinner, or tea, the
choice being optional each guest to do
nate a small sum to their hostess, and
then, in turn, give like affair.
Many have already promised their as
sistance, among them Mrs +. A. Elicit,
president of the Salem Woman g club,
and Mrs. A. S. KazmarelS, who will be
joint hostesses at sixteencover luncn-
con tomorrow. Various affairs will fol.
low in rapid succession, and it is ex-
pected that the chain will have such a
large beginning that it will take scene
time To complete it,
Any one who wishes, whether club
members or not, are solicited to aid in
this praiseworthy effort, by entertain
ing in some manner. There is no restric
tions on the time in which they may
be given, but it is hoped that all VINO
intend to help will do so as soon as
possible, so that the final proceeds may
be collected at about the same time.
This offers an opportunity to the var
icns informal social, card needleworl
and literary clups Of the city to do
something for philanthrophy. Hostessei
could most consistently ask for dona
tions from each of the members, the
amount, whether it be dime or a quar-
ter, would make up net sum, which
would aid very materially.

cious rehearsals of political history. but observe what happens when comes the turn of Mir. Barnes to give his version of those same events; The Germans sink the Lusitania, and in- stantly not only the first page, but half a dozen more as well have no space for anything else, and the Roosevelt- Barnes case is moved so far along into the wilderness of paper that only members of the leisure class have the time for reading on till they reach it. And they haven't the energy for it.
 The result Is that considerable part of the public has either forgot ten that there ever was Roosevelt Barnes libel case, or else 1t remem- bers the trial as something that end- ed when the colonel's testimony closed. Of course the judge and the jurors are presumably listeaing to that unfortunate "other side,'. but what the two former friends and pres ent enemies both really wanted to reach in this litigation was the dear public, and only one of them has been permitted to do 1t.
 Roosevelt luck, again! Especially Rooseveltian is 1t because the means of suppression used enabled the col- onel to become net less audible than articulate, while nobody has thought to ask what his foe thought of what had happened. N

automobile. driven through Long Is- land City, across the Greensboro bridge, through Broadway and to the Pennsylvania station. This was her first ride in an automobile and it was the first part of her journey to Boones-
 boro, Md, where she will make her home.
 Mrs. Conklin after the ride was un-
 able to give any adequate expression as to the impressions made upon her
 mind by what she saw. She said she had, formed an idea of the things she had. heard about. but that she
 had never conceived they were such
 as the reality.
 Mrs. Conklin was born in lower Manhattan. Tn 1865, after the death
 of her husband. she went to Green
 point to live. Only once since had she made trip to Manhattan. When
 the first Sound steamers made their
 maiden trips they carried big Ameri- can flags made by Mrs. Conkiin and

Lusty Infant Enterprise. (Hartford Times.)

Springfield jitneys are blamed for a loss. of $100 day to the Spring field street railway company, and an official of the road places the total loss for the year at $35,000. Ac- cepting these figures as reliable, the jitney problem becomes quite as formidable to the trolley companies as had been anticipated. The years total, given above, of course is based on the premise that the jit- neys have come to stay the year around, to serve the public in all weathers and seasons, to be patrons ized by the public and to be to some extent preferred by 1t.
 Presuming that the $35,000 the street railway company credit to the jitneys is actually collected by them, 1t would appear to represent fairly good business, for one of the infant variety, and unless divided among a considerable number of shareholders, could easily be made to take on the appearance of being profitable. The company's Springfield officials con- cede that the jitneys are taking from it it's most profitable business. namely that derived from short hauls, and they add that eff the jitney business increases, as it is bound to do on short hauls during summer months, 1t would not be surprising If the total loss to the company would be at least $6O,000 a year. Substantially backing this statement is it's proposal because of the financial inroads made by the jitneys. Regrettable as this action would be, the necessity for it might seem to exist, especially as the raising of fares by the trolley com panies would give the agile jitneys 8 still greater competive advantage, and any curtailment of service by the trolley companies would not attract the additional patronage necessary profits or even tend to retain that which now stays by them.
 The public has scraved improve ment in street railway service and has given the failure to secure this as one of the popular excuses for patronizing the jitneys, but 1t can hardly expect great improvement from companies whose incomes are suddenly depleted to the extent above indicated and who rely upon larger rather than smaller incomes as a means for increasing or better- ing their service. If then, the troll ley service is not to be made better, but through depleted income is lia- ble to become more inferior than 1t is, 1t cannot expect to attract more than, 1t has.
 Call the new service unfair to in- vested capital as it may be, when 1t proves both popular and profitable and there is an earnest tendency to systematize sa and standardize 1t, the public may \ confidently expect it's survival providing 1t is made and kept fit.

The Onions of Spring.
. { Providence Journal. )

The chief gastronomic interest among the soldiers and in the hos pitals, according to recent news from Europe, is in the arrival of spring onions. As the soul of man Is re- freshed as this season by the budding flowers and the bright young foliage, so his physical system gains new vigor from the early vegetables that now become available, and in the whole list there is none that gives a greater zest to eating than the young onion, pop ularly known as the "rareripe."
 The onion is reputed to be q great promoter of health, and there is fair ground for the presumption that 1t Is among the best of the spring tonics. AsSuredly 1t is at it's pefection in the peripd of it's youth, when 1t is crisp, tender and pungent stalk and before 1t Is developed to it's bu1bous maturity. At this season it is not only an edible delight when eaten raw, but the stalks may be boiled and served on toast in the manner of asparagus, almost rival ing that delicacy in it's succulent pa- peal. More or less victim of social prejudice, the onion has never been permitted to exercise it's full influence on the internal economy of mankind, but 1t may be noted in general that devoted onion eaters, as a rule, enjoy excellent health. There is reason for gratitude. at least, that this gift of a bountiful nature may serve as a solace to the soldiers and an aid in the rejuvenation of the convalescent. There is felicity as well as truth in the facetious paraphrase that "in onion there Is strength

The hearing. to determine whether Harry Thaw is sane or insane begins today before a jury and he will have the opportunity he and his lawyers have been seeking ever since he wac committed to Matteawan. The case has become so we'll known that great deal of interest is being manifested in the outcome. Thaw has an ad- vantage this time he never had be- fore. He has been out of the insane asylum for several months, has been out in the air and has had an op- portunity to improve his mental and physical health. His answers to op- posing attorneys in the conspiracy case suggested pretty clearly that he Is far from being the fool he was supposed to be. He appears to have a chance this time. If he escapes 1t will be a case where money enabled him to take advantage of every tech- nicality known to the law and 1t has cost the state of New York a large sum to fight him.

JUST AN INQUIRY.

The esteemed Springfield Republi- Roosevelt case says that the cost o1 the litigation will be very large and inquires what it is all for and what end. Different people would give different answers to that question, but 1t must be apparent to every one that MT. Barnes is aggrieved that his for mer associate in political business should turn against him and abuse him after so long partnership. But there is another side to the contro- versy and 1t is that side which af- fleets and interests all others.
 There has been a growing tendency in this country to discredit all pub lie men, either by open accusation of wrong doing or by innuendoes which carry the same effect. Some people have. an idea that it is, their right to Indulge in such criticism and they say things that can. not possibly be true because if they were number of public men ought to be in the peni- tsntiary instead of holding public of- flee. There is no doubt but that there are some unworthy persons oc- cupying public positions, some of them are lawbreakers and should be pun the play "The Argyle Case" an un- favorable reference is made to the New. York police, but. when the an- swer is given that 1t might be true of some 1t was not true of the thou sands that compose that department, the audience applauded vigorously. So 1t is with the large number of pub lie of1icials in the state and nation. and because one or two or dozen go wrong. Is no. reason why the re- mainder should be placed in the same category.
 An ex-president of the United States is accused of saying things against former friend and associate which the latter says are untrue. That kind of thing should be discouraged and wherever person is found who has been guilty of such a thing and his statements are untrue. he should be punished for 1t, otherwise there will be no protection for human char. acter anywhere and the tongue ot islander will be permitted to wag un- molested.

Roosevelt's Luck Is Bach.
(New York Times. }

There have been some doubts of late--for several years, in fact-about the fidelity of Dame Fortune to her sometime favoritc, Colonel Roosevelt. but evidently her desertion of him was temporary withdrawal of at tention, not a permanent desertion This has just been proved in very curious way.
 by Mr. Barnes, even the greatest of wars was obligingly brought into such a condition of deadlock. and of at least comparative monotony, that there was room left on the first page of all the newspapers for the. presentation of a column or two of the coloneTs viva-
