5IllSIu.
RED STocKTNGs-There was a
good crowd at the Jackson park pub
lie bathing beach on Sunday. Men,
women and children were enjoying
themselves in the water and on the
sand. There were many Of them.
Two girls came along. They walked
down to the sand beach and stopped
near a post. First they kicked off
their low shoes. Then they took off
an outer dress - and behold. they
were attired in attractive bathing cos
tunes.
One of the girls wore bright red
stockings. You could see more Of
them when she took off her outer
dress, folded it neatly and laid it on
the sand near the post. She was evil
IDENTIFY healthy and very well built.
You could tell that after she took off
the outer dress and was clothed only
for swim. The other girl was kinda
skinny, but had nice blonde hair. The
other girl wore bright red stockings
and a short bathing skirt. And she
was well built.
Besides, red is a lively color. Es-
peciaIIy when well displayed. This
girl was well built.
Anyhow, when both girls - the
skinny blonde and the well-bUilt girl
with bright red stockings - got all
ready for a swim in Lake Michigan,
both of them sat down in the sand.
And they were still sitting in the
sand when left the beach and start
ed for home.
l approve Of the new rule permit
ting female swimmers to swim in
their bare legs, but a girl has a right
to wear red stockings if she wants to;
and there is no law compelling her
to get them wet. If she doesn't care
to swim she can take a sand bath and
wiggIe her Observer.

ANOTHER SOUTHERNER.-Day
Book readers who condemn South
erner" should stop and think. Sup
pose one of them came home some
night and found their wife, mother or
sister prone on the floor, clothes torn
off, dead or dying from the attacks
of some big, drunken negro; or sup
pose they came upon the body of
their little daughter lying in the fields,
it's frail body almost torn asunder by
some vicious brute. They would for
get all about their humanity" their
judicial calmness would vanish and
they would want to apply the torch.
Those who condemn the lynching
Of Leo Frank should before they talk
secure a transcript of the evidence
presented at the trial, and, disregard
ing the evidence of the negro accus-
er, they would have come to the con-
clusion that Frank was guilty and
that death on the gaIIows would be
a mild punishment. The fact that all
the courts in Georgia, as well as our
supreme court, reviewed this evil
dence and refused to ineTfere should
make people hesitate to champion
his cause without investigation.
If Frank had not been a Jew ne
would have been hung two years ago
and nothing would have been thought
about it.
People Of the south resent the in
reference of the northern press,
which has been subsidized by Jew
ish advertisers.
The jury which tried Frank heard
the evidence and acted accordingly.
It was only after the verdict of the
law had been set aside by the gov

that handled Franks legal affairs,

 While admitting that extraordln- : ary conditions prevail in present day warfare, and showing it's willingness to make every reasonable allowance for these novel aspects, the PresloenI says:-.'The rights of neutrals ln time of war are based upon principle, not upon expetiency, and the prncl- pies are immutable. It is the duty and obligation of belligerents to md way to adopt the new circumstances to them.''
 There is tho salient feature that every nation now at war can mark to advantage. This government is not demanding that Germany alone respect it's inaleinable rights. Every nation now at war must do so. And the loyal men and boys of the United States will see. that itise. done. We seek trouble with no nation. We want no nation to seek trouble with us. But in the last final analysis the United States stands ready to vindi- cate it's principles no matter what the cost.

Why Busy Men Are Called.
fPhiladelphia Record) ).

The name of Thomas A. Edison is a synonym for busy efficiency; man so busy that he hardly has time to read his mail much less to get the sleep a normal man requires. Yet he is ready to consecrate his time and talents to the service of his coun- try on the navy advisory board that our navy may be made ready and efficient.
 The same is true of other inven- tive geniuses who either have agreed or are understood to consider favor ably positions on the board.
 It was because he was always busy that Alexander Graham Bell contrib uted so much to the progress of the world with the invention of the tele- phone; and that Orville Wright and his brother, the late Wilbur Wright, were able to give the world the first practical flying machine. They are the type of men who are being en- listed to improve our naval service.
 To be sure they are busy. That .s what makes them so invaluable to science. As the late Ebert Hubbard remarked, whenever the world wants something done it asks busy man to do it.

CARDINAL GIBBONS n E
 TALKS ON MEXICO
Venerable Clergyman, s1 Yesterday, Says Americans Can Be Depended
 Upon in Any Emergency.

Westminster. Md. July 24.--car- dinal Gibbons spent the s1st anni- versary of his birth yesterday at the home of T. Herbert Shriver, former senator, near here.
 In an interview this afternoon with a representative of a newspaper he showed deep concern in the great world questions.
 His first subject was the Mexican question. which, he said, would not down. In referring to the practically unchanged conditions so far as our nation IS concerned. he said "One year ago today we talked of the then conditions in Mexico, and my views have not changed. The interview l gave you that day was published all over the world and came under tho direct notice of President Wilson and Secretary Bryan. President Wilson sent United States Senator Lee 10 confer with mo on the subject and ne did me che honor to send to me copies of the telegraph messages he had transmitted to Carranza and V.l- la.
 '.I expressed to Senator Lee by opinion that neither Carranza nor Villa were capable of feeling influence of lofty motives of patriotism, and that they would not heed his mes-. sage. The end has justified my opin- ion. I am convinced that neither ex- postulation, cntreaty nor advice will ever have any effect on those who orc now assuming the leadership in Mexi co, and fear that the sword is the only argument that can have any weight, and believe that sooner or later some form of intervention must be pursued by our country.
 The greatest difficulty will be for our president to find a Mexican who can be placed at the head oe affairs, unselfish and patriotic. and for time, at least it will be necessary an American with plenary powers deal with the situation"
 Asked his opinion on the need of a strong standing army in the United States, he replied.
 We do not want it. we do notneed it. Let the energies of our people bn directed to peaceful pursuits, let their lives be given to commercial develop- ment and educational uplift; do no. divert great mass of men into professional soldiery. Let each State have it's thoroughly equipped and well trained militia under the super- vision of the national government and we will have an army if en1er- gency should arise. well-trained militia and our coast properly and fully fortified and gar-isoned is what we need"

More Humane, But Unjust.
(Norwich Bulletin).

By it's representations to the Brit lsh government this country shows that 1t is not disposed to tolerate the order Tn council passed by that coun- try so far as it works injury to Amer ian shipping any more than it is the submarine policy of Germany. It IS true that there is not involved any such danger to humanity in the Brit lsn action that there is in the Ger man failure to respect American lives, put Tn both instances there are rights which are being violated in manner which IS unjust, detrimental and con- trary to international law. As a neu- tral nation this country's trade on the hlgn seas is being treated in man. her Which is unwarranted under the agreement of nations. It has been anticipated that neutrals can be plac- ca at the mercy of warning nations and to guard against such possibili- ties rules were adopted when condi- lions were normal and all were able to. view the situation in a sane man. ner. which were supposed to give proper protection.
 In no instance was it provided that the edict of one nation could over come the international declaration and yet both Germany and Great Brit
