BETTER THAN SOME THINGS.

So much publicity has been given
the glove contests recently pulled off
in fashionable Tulare university that
a ban has been placed upon them by
the faculty.
After one of the high society lights
of Mississippi was put out" by an
equally socially-prominent young miss
from louisiana, in a thr%ee-round
match recently, the four hundred of
the Mardi-gras city began to frown.
WheL the newspapers heralded the
little affair far and wide. the frOwn
became a violent outburst of denunci-
alton. Hence, the ruling of the Nfac-
ulty.
But the young ladies refuse to ac-
cept the mandate as final M hold
their bouts in private. and. seriously
speaking. we are with them. We are
pulling strong for any set of girls
who prefer clean. wholesome sport
to rag-time dancing: who, among
themselves, seek exercise and recrea-
tion in punching each others noses
ing of each others ears with nausious
love vapOrings. They Will grow up to
make good wives, physically fit to
bear children and spank them when
needed. We are sorry society is
shocked; we would like to see the
scraps pulled off publicly. so we might
keep run Of them. Anyway we trust
they viii keep en boxing, in between

AN UNLEARNED LESSON.

The spectacle OF old-line politicians
fighting for control OF the state or

the progressives should be needed if
the republicans do not seek perma-
nent defeat.
The support which the progressive
party drew in this state came as a
protest against the methods which
had been practiced by the men in
control of the party for many years.
Corporation attorneys. owners Of

MOVES AS ONE 4

Anyhow, you have to admire Ger
man militarism for being right on
the spot for the ease with which it
makes every German a part Of its
of war.
The latest in point is the taking
control of the textile industries by the
army authorities. These authorities,
needing cotton for explosives. have
simply ordered the factories not to
character of luXuries, and the same
action is to be taken as to wool, flax
and hemp. Germany is surely giving
the world a demonstration of perfect
national unity, if nothing else.

SUNDAY, A DAY.
Huntington Herald.)

Sunday has become automobile day,
injury day, death day. Every Monday
morning metropolitan papers are filled
with accounts of accidents so numer-
III that they are mentioned as a re-
sumo. Details are 500 many that they
are not given.
The highways are not safe for the
sane drivers. 1t is not the wreckless
who pay the price of speed mania.
The careful, the law abiding, those
who have a right to protection, are
injured and killed. And the condi-
lions are not modified. The speed
mad still usurp license and continue
their meance.
A few years ago 1t was a case Of
the protest of the pedestrian against
the automobile owner, or a protest
of the man behind the horse against
the man in the front seat of the gas
driven car. Today it is or ought to
be the protest of the automobiles
against the speed maniac.
Persons who are fortunate to own
automobiles have a right to the use
of streets and roads, and only under
certain restrictions. These r%estric-
tions actually restrict the vas major
ity. Most drivers are careful-they
are careful because they are decent
people-because they have some re-
spect for the rights Of others. But
their own decent driving and their
own consideration for Others does not
protect them or anybody else from
the maniac who burns up h dust,
tries TO peat the other a TO the Gull
vert, gives only a third Of the road
and tries TO bluff his way past every
other driver.
The majority of men. women and
children injured by automobiles to-
day are not those who are afoot or
those who are in hOrse-drawn We
hicles. but they are those who are in
the automobiles. 1t is time for the
motorists themselves, if they would
continue to enjoy the highways with
a reasonable amount Of safety 10
themselves, to make a protest. The
motorists. in self protection. must
calm the mad driver OF put him in a
place where he will be safe to him
self and NO longer a menace to
others.

THE HAITIEN PRoTECTORATE.

Plenty Of work seems 10 ave been
cut Il for this government in stand
ing guard over Nicaragua. collecting
and dispensing the customs of the
Dominican republic and planning to
restore order in Mexico. And on top
of these tasks ne is undertaking a
new and momentous job in Haiti.
The state department frankly an
nounces that it proposes 70 establish
a pr%otectorate over the Haitien re-
public for a period OF 10 years. Hav-
ing suppressed the anarchy resulting
from the assassination of the presi-
dent-who himself had earned that
fate by the slaughter of $50 OF his
political enemies-Our naval author
tiles have presided over the %inaugu-
ration Of a new president. and our
government expects the new Haitien
government to agree to the proposed
protectorate.
II will go farther than any similar
arrangement in our history. The plan
contemplates control of Haiti's
finances. in order 10 remove all
temptation from professional revOlu-
tiOnists. II IS the loot they fight for.

ed revolutions are really "-unorganized
enterprises which involve nc question

be starving. though the country is
naturally rich. It seems best to in
trude. axe charge of the cOuntry's
resources. maintain order and nurse

tiles the people have, for a few years,
in order to save them from them
selves.
IL may be necessary, but it's a
congress OF course will have the last
word TO say about it, and there may
be objection in the senate to r~atifying
the treaty.
Ia any event, the Haitiens and all
other ~hot-blooded Americans to the
south Of us need have no fear that we
mean 10 gobble up Haiti. They may
take at 100 per cent valuation the as
surance given by Pres't Wilson in his
Mobile speech that we are not seeking
one foot Of foreign territory.
The wave of imperialism that swept
over the country after the Spanish
war has subsidized. American senti-
meT is even recon lied To giving up
the philippines. which we bought
with a naval victory and a big sum
of money. as soon as the natives are
able to take care of themselves. The
European war has strengthened ouT
natural repugnance to territorial con-
quest OF the assertion of authority
over alien races.
The one thing we are aiming at now
in our national life is unity of spirit
and culture. And the Haitiens may
rest assumed that. even if we wanted
TO swallow any other group OF Amer
leans. we should not be inclined to
choose them.

MUST HAVE BEEN NOISY.

Turk historians turn up their noses
at the kaiser's great 42-centimeter
gun and call attention to a gun they
used that time when Mahomet III. be
sieged ConstantinOple. in 1853. This
old time gun is described as nine
feet in circumference, throwing a
stone weighing 1900 pounds a mile
and making a most dreadful noise"
Some gun for those times, all right,
but the kaiser's gun can throw a
whole quarry 20 miles, with half the
noise.

.PECULIAR TNSTTTUTION.r

Herr Won W%aetzoldt, German trade
representative in this country, has
submitted an able report to his gov

published by the New York World.
occurs this interesting passage:

institutions there Is no restraint

We have no government. state or

straints placed on our press are those

While the European war is in prog

newspapers is more conspicuous than
usual. Even the English papers. or
dinaTily nearly as free as ours. are
under che censor's thumb. Though
apparently net forced 10 pervert news

may print is severely limited. In the
continental countries newspaper con-
troll by the government appears al.
most absolute. particularly in Ger

Arabic, for instance. no German
paper carried a word about that event
for three days. As a rule the editorial
comment OF German papers moves
with the harmony and precision OF
marching soldiers, suggesting that it

that direct her armies.
Here a free press is the voice of a
free people. Even its Quarrels and
disagreements and wasting Of energy
in mutual r-ecriminCtion are evidences
OF freedom. And we are not likely to
sacrifice that liberty OF tbs printed
word and more than liberty Of speech.

Gave freely to Belgium.

NEW YORK. July 10.-The great
Pacific coast state, California, with a
heart bursting beyond its boundaries.
was ono OF the first states in the
union to send complete shipload OF
food to destitute Belgium, it became
known today through the report OF
the commission for relief in Belgium,
with head Offices in this city.
And since the donation of that ship,
loaded with food supplies for starving
Belgium, the people of California
have been most liberal in their contri-
buttons. Among the most generous
contributions were the people of Palo
Alto and the students of Standofri
University.
The Stanford students, at the first
call for help from across tie seas,
organized a local relief committee
and besides their initial contributors
they agreed to make monthly gifts
aggregating $500. They have keat
this up and only recently the chair
man Of the Belgium relief commission
received a check of $3.50 from Mrr.
