and original comedies of the current

young dramatist, in the depths of de-
spair- He is contemplating suicide be-
cause his father is on the verge of dis
grace. being short $4,000 in his ac-
counts. The young man decides that
1t is his duty to commit suicide so that
his father can collect $4,000 life in
surance. and he is making his plans to
carry out this decision when his sweet
heart suggests that far better plan
would be to write play based on the
very predicament in which he finds
himself. The succeeding acts show the
young dramatist and his sweetheart
acting out the play which they hope to
sell to some manager for the necessary
$4,000. Needless to say, the play of
the young dramatist is big success
and all ends happily.

Result of Eastland Investigations.
(Meri6en Record.

Indictments charging manslaughter
and criminal carelessness, have been
brought against the captain and en-
g:reer of the Eastland and four officers
Of the st. Joseph-Chicago Steamship
&C.
Gradually the Investigations seem to
be bearing fruit. If all the accused
are brought to trial and punished in
stead of heaping all the sins on the
back of the scapegoat and sending
him out to bear the whole burden, it
may be felt that the deaths of those
who went down with the Eastland
we're not in vain.
Secretary Redfeld's new rulings re-
garding the inspection OF passenger
vessels show that the wholesale cri-
ticism to which he was subjected,
finally got under his skin to the point
that he felt he must do something
radical to reinstate himself in the
public mind
At the present writing it looks as
if something really tangible would
result from the universal demand that
the Eastland victims be avenged and
that steps be taken to prevent a re-
petition Of the disaster.

Passing That Cold Along.
bridgeport Telegram

DR.. William Brady, who writes so
interestingly in the Bridgeport Post
upon health topics, got in some cruel
thrusts the other day upon the. draft
fends and anti-foot wetters, when he
devoted an article to the theory that
The "cold in the head" so-called, is
germ disease.
AS a paraphrase for the old fashion
ed "close the window or shut that
door," DR.. Brady proposes: Choke
that sneeze.''
Free speech does not include free
rnjcrCbes,'' writes the militant doctor;
"let the fellow with the cold or sore
throat speak gently If he must be
hoard; let him not spray his friends
with tho essence of misery: let him
"\old SplaShinG, or if he must splash,
let him turn his heaC away from the
urdefended ports in his Immediate
vicinity"
All this, of course, is rank heresy
to those who believe that colds are
caused by sitting in drafts. Or getting
ones feet wet. Proba bly, the persons
who adhere to these theories are still
in the enormous majority, for it was
only a few years ago that critical ex-
animation of the problem, having as
ccrtained that colds travel in cpl
denies exactly as to attacks of measles
or scarlet fever, reasoned it out that
people don't have epidemIcs of sitting
in drafts, and therefore some other
cH use must be sought for.
AS between the rival schools let
lis maintain strict neutrality Let us
agree to close that window and keep
it closed, provided our friend who
hates drafts will keep his sneezes to
himself.

Duty VS.. SentimentaIity.
New London TELEGRAPH. }

(NeW LOnQOn lelegrapn.)
General Wood made a point at
Plattsburgh that deserves universal
recognition.
He said there is no such thing as
volunteer military service in the
category of honest citizenship. Every
man owes his service as a soldier from
clear obligation essential to the social
compact which pledges the govern
ment to duty for all, and pledges all
to the maintenance of the govern
ment.
AS long as wars can happen, it is a
false thinking on the part of any man
that his taking up or laying down of
a musket can be a matter of his VOL
untary choice. He has the one choice
of obedience or repatriation.
The Internal overindulgence of our
national treasury in the matter of
pensions is a natural result of that
false thinking, and an evidence of
how deep-seated the mistake is in
too great d body of popular thought.
reasonable and just compensation
for military service must always be
made. But who can defend the waste
of public funds in the name of graf
itude" that has become the bonus of
thousands who neither have need, or
even if needy have ever sacrificed a
pins worth upon the altar of patriot
ism?
General Woods whole address
should be printed for use in the pub
lie schools.
