What About It?.

While we have always prided our
selves on our superior wisdom and our
scientific" position In political
way, isn't II fact that 1t is difficult
70 imagine set Of greater chbnps
than the Socialists have shown them
selves nearly to man in the peculiar
dilemma which this world war has
placed them in?
We have In the past Dragged about
our success In preventing this and
that war, until we really believed II
earnestly enough to hypnotic even
some of our more decent opponents
into believing 1t.
Honestly now, what have we ever
done that could stop a war And what
could we have done to stop war or
preparation for war?
We have always charged capitalism
| with responsibility for war as well as
for all other ills, and rightfully So
We have even proved that war MUST
last as long as capitalism prevailed,
that the armed forces were necessary
to maintain capitalism In power and
keep the workers in subsection. And
still we inconsistantly strive to pre-
vent war and disarm nations. while
we are in minority SO insignificant
as to amount to next to nothing
| Opportunism gone mad resembles
the toad that busted in its attempt to
initiate itself to the size of a bull Op-
portunism today stands exposed as a
humbug and Socialism suffers dis
grace from it's close relationship with
the fraud. The soap bubble of ICON.

grownup children are surprised that

where the wonderful air castle once
shone In all its splendor.

the first signs of lost illusions were
visible in her liege lord. He had be-
come used to her beauty and his
pride in possession. He was natu-

the first impression on his impassiv-

his GOODNESS, she concluded, would
naturally increase. Her keen in
sight showed her where the trouble
lay. She had been too easily won
TOO anxious to please him. She
should make him jealous.
Finally she decided to have an i'm
aginary absent lover. Then she
would not harm anyone else-or her.

Her husband, coming into the sit

FULL CREW LAW

Senator Fisher Shows Public

Harrisburg, April 6.
Members Of the legislature having
close before them the question of re.

crew-Law, with an empowering of
the Public Service Commission to de-
termine the manning of trains, are
giving second thought to the state

Senator Fisher started with the
proposition that the railroads recog.

determine the manning of trains so
as to protect life and property, add

modification of the manner in which
the police power is exercised AS it

He said that when the act was
passed there was nobody with juris.

Public Utilities Commission was
created, charged with full and ample
and complete power to regulate just
such subjects as this and of nearly
every subject, except this one"
SIS it not wise. recognizing as we
do the power of the state to lay it's
hand upon this question, to take it
out of the rigid form into which it
has been cast and place it in the
hands of the commission"
Senator Fisher said that the law
has been on trial in the court of ex
perience, and having failed to ac
complish the purpose for which it was
enacted, it should be wiped from the
statute books and something substi
tuted that will accomplish what both
the man and railroad managements
want. We do not want legislation ever
put on or taken off the books that
would endanger the life of anybody,
but If the law that was passed i'm.

to her which made her eyes dance.

CAN NOT CONVEY TITLE IN FEE

Oklahoma City, Okla, March 31.-
None OF the public road and none of
the public railway right of way deeds
TO school land in this state that have
been issued by the commissioners of
the land office are valid to convey
title in fee. This is the opinion of
assistant attorney general r. +. Wood
as prepared for George Smith, secre-
tary of the school land commission.
Mr.. Smith asked for an opinion pur-
suant to action taken by the commits
sioners at a recent meeting ordering
that a deed be made to Pottawatomie
county for several acres out of a
school tract to be used as a public
road.
1t has been the practice in the pas
for the commissioner OF the land office
to patent lands to railroads and coun-
ties for right of way and roads. The
opinion by Mr.. Woods is that all the
railroads or public roads can acquire
is perpetual easement over school
lands. The only method by which title
in fee may pass from the commits
sioners of the land office is by COM
pliance with the provisions of the stat
utes which contemplate appraisement
and sale at public auction with the
preference right in the lessee.
Under the construction of the law
AS set forth, it is the duty of the land
office to sell the entire acreage of
farms owned by the state, including
the highways and rights of way. The
reversionary interest in these is in
the fee and the lessee who purchases
his lease will be the owner of the re-
mainder after the public use shall
have terminated.

ROTHSCHILO'S DEATH
SHOCKS ALL LONDON

London, March S1.-The death OF
Nathan Mayer Rothschild, first Baron
Rothschild, head OF the British branch
of the great banking firm, occurred at
his London residence at 4:30 o'clock
this afternoon Lord Rothschild un-
derwent an operation for the removal
of the prostate gland on Saturday,
the first intimation of this being con-
tained in a bulletin sent to the Lon
don papers late Sunday night, in
which it was stated that he was pro-
crossing satisfactorily.
On Sunday bulletin conveyed the
information that he had recovered
from the first effects of the operation
and the impression was that despite
his age there was no danger. This
morning, however, it was announced
that the patient had spent a rather
restless night, and that his condition
was not so favorable.
