BADGERING JANE ADDAMs.


1t is a little hard TO see why editors
Addams. If the chancellOries of Eu-
rope from Downing ST. 10 the vatican
were willing to receive her, if the har-
assed statesmen of practically every
warning country were willing to play
with the idea Of her mission, then
surely the domestic breed of mani-
ness and red-blood need not assert it
self by deriding her, says the New
Republic.
Had her trip been purely Quixotic
1t would still not have been markedly
insane in this insane world. AS a mat
ter OF fact Miss Adams did not go to
stop the war she went 10 find out
what people and governments were
thinking about the possibilities of
peace. TO recall TO statesmen, if only a
little bit, the fact that this slaughter
must end some time. The utmost prac-
tical end for the moment is that she
may have started in some official mind
some disposition TO think again in
terms of human adjustment
Miss Adams was peculiarly the
person to do this She has stood to
all the world for the intensive cultiva-
B 1tion of human life. She herself is the
that dominate the world. There is a
side of human nature pitiably starved
by the war, and Jane Adams speaks
for it with a strange purity. With no
trace Of pride I'm any of her opinions,
she could not be Inundated because
she had left herself so completely out
of account She Wields a power, weak
perhaps at this time, but a power new
ertheless, which silences the scOffer
and disarms the pugnacious. The too
too manly man may even feel a bit
silly in her presence.

At the end Of a years preparation,
Great Britain presents the surprising
and humiliating spectacle of having
only about 100000 troops at the front.
She has raised an army of 100000
volunteers, but she hasn't been able
TO equip them yet. But before we crit
icise England too severely about the
matter. it may be well 10 reflect that,
in the light OF our own experience, we

\ New Novel by Holman Day.

The Landloper," a new DANel by
Holman Day, is published this week
by the Harpers. The hero, for quiX-
Otic reasons not explained until the
end of the story is wandering from
place TO place under an assumed
name. He becomes, almost against
his will, a modern knight-errant re-
dressing wrongs. His friendship with
a humble old Canadian brings him
into touch with the poor of city
which is in the power OF a certain
grasping water corporation. For love
of a little child he begins 10 fight the
corporation and the political forces
behind ii. Love comes 20 him at the
same time with success. and he be-
lieves he has no right 10 accept either
until he in turn is helped as he has
helped others. Like Mr.. Days other

Another vital subject upon which
we must give more instruction is the
matter of mating. In this are in
vOlved principles that il disregared

marriages. IL IS said that only i've
per cent OF all marriages are perfectly
happy the inference being that in the
degrees of unhappiness-some bury
ing their differences" others living
up 10 their social obligations" and
still others seeking relief in the di-
Vorce courts. There is no doubt at
all that there would be many more
happy marriages If couples were
properly mated.
one famous scientist says that If he
could direct the mating Of the youth
a new race OF men could be produced
IN SIX generations" which il undoubt-

Beach Expected to Contri-
butte it's Share.

G. N. keniston returned on
Saturday from his vacation in
the eastern part of the state
and while away combined bus
iness with pleasure, inasmuch
as he has practically brought
about through his efforts the
donation of sufficient means
for the construction of a new
bridge at Medora. In but one
town has he been unsuccessful
in securing the sum levied and
in that one instance he was
given the promise that later
on a proportionate sum would
be donated to the proposition.
The city of Beach has been
assessed $500 and inasmuch
as the new bridge will laid
this city as greatly as any 9TH
or city along the line, there is
little doubt but that the levy
will be secured. The first
days effort made by the com
r1;ttee, which consists of Mes
srs. O. c. Attletweed, Martin
Egan and Thor Plomasen,
netted $500. This is the best
evidence of the efficacy of the
proposition. All those who
wish to contribute are asked
to send their donations to any
Ut the committee named. Ir
the event of failure to raise
the sum necessary t., the prop.
osition by Sept. 10, the con.
tract will not be fulfilled and

Ball Player
Killed in Auto
Young Glendive Attorney and
Base Ball Player, While
Driving With a Hunting
Party, Auto Overturns into
Gulley, Filming Him Under
Machine.

George Hanson, or as he
was familiarly known, Big
Tray, one of the promising
young attorneys and le:sding
hase ball players on the Glen
dive. Mont, team, was killed
Wednesday morning while
driving a car which conveyed
party of hunters west of the
city of Glendive. Hanson.
who is a graduate of the uni
versity of Minnesota, and who
at one time played on the St.
Louis American base ball
team, has been in the practice
of law in Glendive for the
past three years and was one
of the most popular young at
torneys in this section of the
west.
On Wednesday morning,
accompanied by several ac-
quaintances, he started out of
The city on a hunting trip. The
party left him in charge of the
car. expecting that he would
follow along as they walked.
They had gone nearly a mile
when they noticed that the car
was not following them. After
waiting some time they retrac-
ed their steps, and only after
diligent search found that the
car which he had been driv-
ing had fallen into a gulley
near the road, pinning the
young man underneath. When
the party reached the car Ham
son had breathed his last. His
remains were taken to Glen
dive, from which city they
were sent to Bode, Ia., where
Hanson parents reside.
The loss of the young attor-
ney and base ball player has
thrown the whole city Of
Glendive into mourning, for
he was one of the most ster-
ling young professional men
in that city. He was recently
engaged to one of the popular
young ladies of the city.
In token of their esteem the
Beach base ball players, to-
gether with the players from
Wibaux, contributed a beauti-
full wreath, which will be for
warded to Hanson's former
home at Bode, Iowa.

CAMPAIGN REVIEW
in EAST ESTIMATES
BIG RUSSIAN LOSSES.

Berlin, Sept. 2.-An off,
cial review of the eastern cam
paign as issued here by the
Overseas News Agency, esti-
mates that since May 2, the
Russians have lost at least
100000 in killed or wounded
in addition to 100000 men
captured by the Germans.
The announcement from
the Overseas Agency is as fol-
lows: General army head

the results of the offensive
movements in Poland and
Russia since May z, beginning
with the battle of Georlice.
Army headquarters estimates
the strength of the Russian
troops which were directly en-
gagged in that region was
about | 100000.
In the fighting since May
2, 100000 have been cap
tured and a minimum of 300,-
600 wounded or killed.
This is a very conserva.
i've estimate. The actual fig
ures are surely much higher
because the Russians saved ar.
tillery by reckless sacrificing
their infantry. 1t is thus evi.
dent that the armies which
were first attacked at the be-
ginning of the Austro-Ger.

The Escape at
Opera House
Will be Shown at the Beach
September 9TH. Shows
Publication Through Sor-
row and Shame.

The main character in The
Escape is girl born and
bred in the slums but with a
healthy body and mind natur-
ally superior to her surround
ings and the intelligence of
her comrades. The name of
this marvellous seven reel
photo-drama,f ounded on Paul
Armstrong; famous play of
the same title, which is to be
seen at the Beach opera house
on Tuesday, Sept. J, is due to
the fact that this girl escapes
from her early environment to
a different level of human So
ciety.
The progress of this young
woman upward to real appre-
citation of life and its respon-
sibilities is by an arduous
road. First she escapes from
the terrors of poverty ard the
brutal embraces of the slum
bully" whom she is engaged
to marry. Then she has, in
turn, to escape from aMuence
and the disgrace of being mis-
tress OF a rich man whom she
does not love. And each time
she is esca pirngfd4week2v
she is escaping from herself
making herself over and be.
coming more worthy tie love
of the physician, who, know.
ing all her career, admires he,
and honors her with mar.
riage.
The character second in i'm.
portance to this girl is he,
unfit" sister who gladly
marries the bully and who suf,
fers the consequence of he1
infatuation for brute force
She has neither the physique
nor the brain of her more for.
tunate sister, and, being un.
fit, drags out an existence Of
misery and anguish, so that
death is to her only a gentle
release from too many. sor'
rows.
1t is thus that Mr.. Arm.
strong and Mrs. D. w. Grif.
fifth, who produced the pho.
to-drama and expanded it ia,
beyond the original limits oi
the play, show the difference
between different grades oi
human creatures. 1t is thus
they point out the necessity oi
preventing marriages among
the ill-equipped progeny of de.
heient human beings.

Marsh, Robert Harron, Don.
