4 Voice From an American District,

In the House at Washington Cap
tain A. r. GARDNER represents II Mas
eachusetts district that Is proud of
its American traditions. One has
only to call the roll Of its cities to
awaken memories: Gloucester. New
burypOrt. Salem, Amesbury. Essex.
Marblehead, Merrimnc, mentioning n
few Of them. To-day the aliens are
numerous there. but the influence of
the old stock prevails still.
The core of the district is Amerl-
TAI 1t has Its literature of sacrifice
and valor. Its patriotism is old
fashioned and sturdy. Amcsbury
brings to mind the Quaker poet. In
whose verse there was ever inspira-
tion to high thinking or great deeds.
The Sixth has It's landmarks, It's mu-
seums and IT'S churches. and they
teach American history. IN the old
blessed sense of the word 1t is an
American district, and its sentiments,
its spirit and its temper are reflected
In the speeches Of Captain GARDNER
In these times. that test mems pu-
triotism, II they do 10 yet try mems

old Essex. He Is of the soil and to

Captain GARDNER was charged In
the House on Friday with reckless
and Incorporate speech by a mem
Der from Wisconsin whose district
has not as many kindling memories
as old Essex, to put it mildly. There
was nothing reckless in what, II one
read between the lines. was n vigor-
DIS invocation To American patriot
ism as II useh To be. In fact, there
was method in Captain GARDNER's
discourse. Much of its criticism was
sound. and much OF its logic man
swernble. His aim was to arouse the
old spirit that Onc" Tiled the halls of
Congress, for he has at heart the de-
fence of the country from dangers
that impend. Many of the repre-
sentatives of the people will not see,
or they do not rare to see, putting
their " political interests before

Especially fitted for this kind Of
outside work are those splendid
women who having failed in the mari
tai field, mostly by reason Of their
high ideals, may illustrate the gran
deur and nobility Of womanhood by
mingling with the lowly and inspir-
Ing them by personal example with
contempt for the grosser aspects of
their humdrum lives. In the final
weighing up Of things the woman
who from love Of her kind holds up,
by her life Of ~self-sacrifice. the high
ideal Of altruism. will most contribute
to raising the standard.

wagner. Responsibility for tho War.

VS8uNu W.
Tie responsibility for the war has
been laid upon the shoulders OF
TREITscHKE, NiErzscHE, kings. empor-
ors and chancellors. and so vigorously
disclaimed by each or his defenders
that the world has come to believe
that no one is responsible. There is
interest, therefore. In the statement
Of the Russian conductor ERNEST
ANsERMET, who has Just arrived In
this country, that the blame should
rest upon RICHARD WAGNER and RICii-
ARD STRAUSS.
Any one who has seen the kindly
face. curly hair, mild blue eyes and
figure of STRAUSS must ucquit him of
the charge. Let him ronr and tumu't
in horns. brasses and deep double bass
viol. and have the stomach Of n NoN
HINpENBuRG for g~unpowder, he Is no
war loving man he has not the legs
Of n warrior-too short to run either
in a charge or retreat. But with
WAGNER 1t is different, the heavy chin,
pugnacious jaw and tightly com.
pressed lips form the physiognomy OF
n fighting man, though they hide the
soul of a painter, poet and artist.
Mr.. ANsERMET says:
'The i~n,roductions of WAGNER, with
their tuInult and blare OF trumpets, In
fused a wsrlikc spirit into the German
nation and fos,ered 1t for generations"
No doubt there is something inspirit-
Ing to youth and maiden. and inspir-
ing to martial prowess in the charge
of the Nalkyric, the deeds of SIZE
FRIED. the revengcs of BRtNNHlLDE,
the valor. the military trapping, para
phernalia and victories of the heroes
Of the tetralogy der Ring dies Nibe-
lungen." But might not some of the
German war spirit date back even
to the militant c%hurchman LUTHER,
whose "A Mighty Fortress Is our
God" Is n battle song for church or
country? Besides. not Germany alone
has martial music. The gypsy music
of Hungary seems to incite either ~
n dance or II fight. a wild Serb song.
%shrieking In minor and sounding like
a nest of eagles in revolt. is enough
TO make the race remember kossov".
And the composers of Mr.. ANsrRMET'-
own fatherlRnd have written some ~
the most stirring martial strains AMI
some that by every rule should have
halted the Austrian invaders NJ the
Russian border.
This Is not. howeveC. n defence OF

too many, defenders already. But II

Justice DAVIS points out that there
Is lack of legal authority on this ques-
ton In New York State. "undoubt-
edly because instances such as dis
closed by the facts in this Ease are
rare" He says:
1T seems TO me that with poor per-
sons OF this class the faint does not
cling 10 them after the requirement OF
property accumulated either by indus
try or by gift or devise. It seems 10
ms that when one who has received
public aid under circumstances out Of
the ordinary becomes able by his own
Industry for "A considerable period OF
time to maintain himself he ceases 10
be a poor person There must be some
cause besides the mere lapse OF time
which removes an able bodied. indus
trious man from the class OF poor per-
sons"
In Massachusetts II has been held
that 'where n person who has been
supported by his town as a pauper,
had bodily health and strength. al
though of small mental capacity. and
was able to earn more than enough
10 support himself and had found an
employer, he was no longer n pau.
per" In Nevada:
1T has been held also that a labor

sickness has never had occasion TO ask
or receive charity, although without
money or property with which 20 pay
the expenses OF that sickness. Is not a
pauper within the meaning OF a statute
providing that one county may recover
