The young married woman sat and looked at her scientific brother-in Jaw in sort of mortified fascination.
 T don't see' he remarked in an in jured tone, why you should gaze upor. me as though I were a sudden case of smallpox!"
 Its the most awful idea I ever heard" gasped the young married woman. "S-s-sticking needles into a helpless child! Why, it's barbarous!'
 Nothing of the sort" declared her scientific brother-i -in-laW. Tt is the only sensible way to govern a child that is too young to be argued with that I have ever come across. l should not be surprised if I got included in the next collection of Our Twelve Greatest Scientists!' It's a perfect idea from all sides! Why beat a help less infant just because you are bigger and have more muscle? Why not get the same results by taking an ordinary needle, sterilizing it carefully by pass ing through flame and then giving the refractory child one good prick? Put the needle up somewhere in plain sight and whenever rebellion occurs simply call the child's attention to it! You will never have any more trouble, be- cause one application Is sufficient. I'd like to know why that isn't more hu- mane than spanking or whipping,

SUBSTITUTES FOR RLockADEs.

This country is interested in know ing how Great Britain and France are going to carry out their obstruction of trade between neutrals4 and espe- cially that between neutrz.ls and Ger many when the goods are not con- traband in character. That there will be protest against it as there was against the German yplan is to be ex- pected.
 From so much of the allies plans as have been made public through the notes of GGeat Britain and France it can be determined with much satis- faction that there is @ different dis position manifested towards neutral contmerce than that set forth by Germany. While it is the purpose of the allies to subject Germany to all the endorsements of 8 blockade, without in so many words taking that step because of the danger involved in such an undertaking from the sub marines, they do not overlook the pro lection of neutral vessels, their car goes and crews, when they are found not to have violated the war rules
 Whether this stand was taken be- cause of Germanys notice to the eff feet that it would be impossible to guarantee safety to neutral shipping and that such must keep out of the established war zone if it sought pro- lection is not disclosed, and it is not indicated what will be done with ves- sels which are stopped, but in their epdeavor to deal a blow at the enemy the allies have displayed in their mo- tice the greatest consideration for the neutrals.
 Neither side has established a blockade because of inability in one instance and submarine danger in- Vo1ved in such naval exposure in the other. The disposition to disregard neutral rights, however, ought not to exist and furnishes a proper subject for protest

THE ALTMAN DISCOVERIES.

Had it been desired to keep se- cret the discoveries made by Dr. Ritt- man, a chemical engineer of the gov ernment bureau of mines, until such a time as they would create the great est impression, no better time than the present could have been selected. All are of vast importance and all are of increased value just now, because of prevailing conditions.
 Dr. Rittman Is not the only one who has been working on such problems as he claims to have solved, but it is to be hoped that he has been as suc- cessful as his declared accomplish ments would indicate. Any one of the three discoveries would in itself be especially valuable while the triple announcement calls attention to the possibilities opened up in as many different fields.

SCHOOL EoRxIMREcELEs.

The agreement of the humane in stitutions committee to see the prop erty which is recommended here for the School for Imbeciles. before a de- cision Is reached upon new location for that institution indicates the right disposition and one thoroughly in ac- cord with the interests of the state.
 That this is an important state school cannot be questioned and it is in recognition of the expansion which must come in connection with this work that it is apparent that the pres ent quarters at Iakeville are made quate. The lack of room is already felt and the present location does not afford opportunity for any increase such as must be required in time. It Is therefore a good business policy to make a change and use such out lay as is necessary in the building of & new school rather than expending moro money on a plant which must within a few years be abandoned any, way.
 The property which is offered here for the school is admirably located for just such an institution. With a large mansion. plenty of available land and other buildings, railroad and trol- ley accommodations right at the door, as well as the other advantages which characterize well kept estate, it fills the bill, and the wisdom of putting such money. as the state must in the maintenance of this school, into a permanent rather than a temporary location such as that at Lakeville must be- can be readily understood, wher- ever it is finally located. There is every reason, however, why the com mittce should be impressed with the local property.

GET THE TEACHERS.

With increasing frequency come the disclosures in the metropolis relative to the plans and operations of the anarchists The latest attempts to discharge couple of bombs in St. Patrick's cathedral in New York city with the accompanying statements that the plans had already been per- fected for the killing of several men of financial prominence reveal a state of affairs which calls for the con- steIit attention Of the authorities. New York or any other city should not rest until everyone connected with such an organized effort to bring about death. destruction and the defiance of the law has been placed beyond the possibility of putting into effect their devilish ideas. That the New York police are alive to the task which con- fronts them is evidenced by the clever manner in which they brought to a climax the latest outburst of anarchis- tic schemers, but from past experience with such people constant vigilance is the price of safety.
 There is reason to believe that there are many important facts possessed by the authorities as the result of the running down of this group of anarchists which are going to be of much value in the future control of these people. The youths who have been placed under arrest represent the alert daredevils, the pupils of old CT minds, and until their tutors are driven out or suppressed repetitions can be expected. For such a class of people there should be no haven in the country. They are a menace of the worst character and the quick CT they can be eliminated or reduced to the minimum the better it will be for humanity.

when, as claimed the process of pro- ducing it has been simplif1ed and cheapened, and thereby made it pos sible to overcome the monopolistic control which is now held through patented processes, it means much to the users of that product of crude petroleum. Likewise when so much attention is being given to the need of establishing a dyestuffs industry In this country which will supply the trade independent of the foreign pro- ductbon, the discovery of a method of producing toluol and benzol which mean so much in the production of dyestuffs and smokeless> powder couldn't have been made at a better time. It bears out the claim that is made that there is something new to be learned every day. and tits a val uable as well as a timely addition to the progress of science.

AMERICAN AND ALIEN LABOR.

It is an interesting outcome of the passage of a law in the state of New York against the employment of alien labor upon public works. The idea was of course that American labor should get the preference and sole right to such work and it won much sympathy without very much thought as to what it involved and whether it could be successfully carried out.
 It was a theory which has not work ed out well, however, for while the observance of the law is being en- forced it is found that there are not enough American laborers to carry on such projects as are already un- derway in New York. The fact is that American laborers do not want that kind of work in a sufficient num- Der to meet the demand, and the re- suit is that while the law serves to keep the alien away from such jobs, it also means that because of a lack of help many of the projects which should be finished at as early a date as possible must be dragged out in definitely until such labor as is per- mitted can do 1t.
 Thus is shown the shortsighted
 ness of such legislation. It is a. dis crimination in favor of the American ldoorer which places a serious handi- cap upon public works. When such condition is revealed while so many are seeking employment "of any kind'' 1t points out very plainly the disad- vantage of the law and the need which there is for alien labor. It would have been better to have found out before the law was passed when there was sufficient American labor of the class required for meeting the requirements of any large undertaking. Under the circumstances, it is not surprising that there is a demand for it's repeal,

The modern tendency in prison management is to relax discipline and place prisoners on their honor. While the effect of this change is believed to be beneficial on the whole it some times exposes the prisoner to tempta- tions which he, cannot resist.
