II single men continue to be
singled out as victims for tax collec-
tors and recruiting sergeants, the
great trinity Of human rights will
be changed to read, '1ife, liberty and
matrimony" For where can the
bachelor find happiness in a world
that marks his income as the first
to be seized by a rspacious state and
his precious person as the first to be
exposed to the enemy's bullets?
Never since the history Of man be-
gan has the bachelor been the marked
man he is today, a writer in the
Brooklyn Eagle asserts. In England
Premier Asquith's famous promise
was given to the married men, the
CONSUMPTION bill excerpts the married
men, the state supports the wives and
children of enlisted married men. In
France the state supports not only
the legally established wives but
those whom soldiers acknowledge as
their "wives," the assumption being
that the legal ceremony will follow
when the war comes to an end. Thus
even the man who promises to be-
come married is favored by the state.
And as for taxes, the bachelor has
long been the victim of his own dis
erection. Even Uncle Sam, who is
ordinarily the least given to making
invidious distinctions among his citi-
zenry, grants the married man a
$4,000 exemption on the income tax.
In Europe the discrimination
against the bachelor is much more
marked-so marked, in fact, that
bachelorhood is more of a luxury
than a limousine.

LIGHTS EFFECTS ON GERMS


II sunlight destroys bacteria, Il ia
also the active agent in multiplying
their species. Such. at least, is the
obvious deduction which science is
drawing from recent experiment OF
Nine. Victor Henry, and II is one that
opens up an entirely new field to the
psychologists.
She had occasion recently to ex.
pose some germs OF anthrax to the
rays from a mercury vapor lamp. AS
she expected, the treatment proved
fatal to most of the subject, but few
of them survived.
The astonishing feature in the case
was that the survivors had undergone
a radical transformation. They we're
no longer thin and threadlike. They
had become spherical, or nearly so,
true cocci, in fact. At the same time,
they were radically different from all
known spores.
What is more, upon cultivation they
did not return to their original fern,
and when injected into animals pro-
duced an entirely new disease.
Nine. Henry is forced to the conclu-
sion that she has developed an entire
ly new bacterial family, and reasoning
from her experience believes that she
has hit upon the means by which such
families have multiplied. 1t is her
opinion that after long exposure to
sunlight, a germ, il not destroyed, un-
dergoes a radical change in form and
nature, thus becoming the root of an
entirely new species.

Patrick II. PearSe, provisional

the Irish revolt, were executed by a
firing squad, in London, Wednesday
and three others were sentenced tc
prison, while a search is being made
for other members of the Sim Fem
Society who signed the rebel procla,
nation. Patrick H. Pearse, the
provisional President Of Ireland,
was about 33 or "a years old, and was
known in Ireland as an authority on
Gaelic literature. He started in life
as a barrister, but devoted most OF his
time to literary and educational pur'
suits. For some time he was editor
of the Gaelic Journal in Dublin, anc
later founded st. Enda's School,
which he conducted up to the time
of the Sim Fem rebellion. Pearse
had many friends in the United States.
He had lectured in this country on
Irish ideals and Gaelic literature.

The Zeppelin air raid on the north
east coast of England and southeast
coast of Scotland Tuesday night re-
suited in SO casualties. The announce
ment was made officially. One hun
dred bombs were dropped. In only
a single locality did the raiders cause
any casualties or effect much damage.
In this case the bombs amounted to
u explosive and A incendiary, and Is
houses were damaged. The casual
ties totaled six men-one Of them a
soldier-and three women killed and
10 men, young children and 8 women
injured-a total of SO. A German
scaplane Wednesday afternoon made
an air raid on Deal. No fatalities re-
suited, but two persons were injured.
The Zeppelin LOO reached the coast
of Norway in a disabled condition,
where it fell into the sea and was
completely destroyed. Five of the
crew were rescued by boats.

Decorations for Women.

Foreign countries are most prodigal
of feminine decorations. There are in
all some twenty foreign orders, and 1t
is said that Spain was the first coun-
try to honor the gentler sex by includ-
ing them in orders Of chivalry. The
Legion of Honor, which has been
pinned to not few feminine breasts
in the present war, the Russian Order
Of st. Catherine and the Austrian Star
Cross are a few of the greater orders
which can be accorded TO women. In
no country does the decoration be-
slowed on a woman carry any title,
as in the case of a masculine knight
hood. but in several countries certain
female decorations bestow a sort OF
status equivalent to rank n the army,

A real Sen las been aiken toward

A real step has been taken towards
stopping the use of immoral films in
moving picture theatres. A bill to
create national board of censors to
pass on all foreign and domestic NOV
ing picture films shown in this coun-
try and to prevent the importation
and interstate shipment of immoral
pictures was agreed upon Tuesday by
the House education committee. The
measure will be reported this week.
1t would provide for board OF cen
sors of five members, and large
number of deputy cenSors to located
in the larger cities of the country. All
films except those dealing with cur
rent news would have to be submit
ted to censors before they could be
released. Shippers of improper films
would be subject to fines ranging up
ward to 81, 900. A fee Of 81 on each
original film and so cents on each re-
print would be assessed against the
producers but provision is made for
lowering this fee if il is found that

supreme court uphoIds seerstary.


There will be no candidates voted
upon next November for state super
intendent OF public schools. The SUI
prene court so ruled in .he applica-
ton OF I. N. Evrard, the Republican
nominee for this office, against Sec
retary CT State Roach for a writ OF
maRdamus. The writ was denied.
The official ballot was sent out by
the secretary to the various counties
ana the chy Of st. Louis without the
mama OF any candidate for state su-
peIintendent Of public schools. Two
of the jdges-Walker and Blair-dis-
scented from this ruling of five Of the
judges.
Uel w. Lampkin, who was appoint
ed by Gov. Major to fill the vacancy
in this office occasioned by the death
of Howard A. Gass, will accordingly
hold office until January, 1919.
The constitution provides, says the
court, that the superintendent of
public schools shall be elected at the
general election in the year 1878 and
every four years thereafter. Section
1898 R. s. of Mo. 1909 provides for
the filling of vacancy in the office of
state superintendent of public schools
in the following language: an case
of vacancy occurring in said office by
death, resignation or otherwise the
governor shall fill the same by ap-
pointment, who shall hold his office

Ousted state EmpIoye Sues.

Frederick A. Mayhall, who was dis
charged as deputy superintendent of
the state insurance department last
July has in the circuit court filed
suit for $20O,O 900 damages against
Walter X. Chorn, superintendent;
Edward F. MCGEE, deputy surerinten-
dent; Earl F. Nelson, actuary of in
surance, Mississippi Valley Trust Co.,
of st. Louis; International Insurance
Co. of st. Louis, and William F. Gran
ger, secretary Of the insurance COM
pany, declaring that they conspired to
defame his character and to obtain
his removal from office.
Mayhan charges that $7.700 insur-
ance securities which the records
showed were in the custody of the de-
partment, and for which he was re-
sponsible on his bond, were found by
him in the private safe Of Granger,
secretary of the insurance company.
He also charges that $4,000 of cou-
pom bonds were left upon a table In
the safety deposit vault Of the Cen
trail Missouri Trust Co. at Jefferson
City by MCGEE, who was then chief
clerk in the insurance department
and who succeeded Mayhall as deputy
superintendent.
He also declares in his petition that
securities for which he was respon'
sible were removed from the safety
deposit vaults where he had placed
them to injure him and obtain his re.
moval.

Won HlNDENBURG CouNsELS
STAFF TO MODERATION.
Sure of Ultimate Victory If Nation
Is United Behind Leaders
Speaks to Committee.

Berlin. - General Won Ludendorf
has joined his chief, Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg, in opposing a more
ruthless prosecution Of submarine
warfare. Field Marshal Won linden
burg's position was made plain at a
meeting of the Independent commit
tee for German peace terms, recently,
when, through a personal representa-
tive, he requested the committee to
abstain from agitation for a sharper
submarine campaign.
Gen Won Ludendorf has announced
his views through a letter which was
read at a big public meeting at Magde-
burg by National Liberal Leader
Schiller. The letter said, in part:
''The hopes of our enemies, based
on extraordinary simultaneous exer-
tons on all fronts, can only be frus
trated through mighty efforts on our
part. We will accomplish this if the
German people stand united behind us,
give us their confidence and do not
demoralize the army by controversies
over the expediency of means and
ways to success. If, to the outside, it
seems that the program on certain
questions is lacking, this does not
prove that the program is actually
at fault"
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's
message had the disadvantage of be-
ing delivered at a private gathering
of auditors who were not interested
in having it gain g wider circulation.

UPHELD BY COURT
ST. JOSEPH POLICE CASE DE-
cIDEo IN FAVOR OF ACTING
GOVERNOR.
WITH OR WITHOUT ANY CAUSE
Judge Bond Endorses Executive on
Every Point, and Says Power
Was Conferred to Be Used at
His Discretion.
Jefferson City.

Jefferson City.
In an opinion by Judge Henry w.
Bond, concurred in by Chief Justice
"A, M. Woodson and Judges C. B. Faris,
R. F. Walker and James P. Blair, the
supreme court in banc sustained the
judgment of the Buchanan county cir
cult court in the quo warranto pro-
~ceedings under which Commissioner
U. G.. Crandall and Joseph Mcdonald
of st. Joseph were ousted from Of
flee, after they had been decapitated
officially by Acting Gov. William R.
Painter last August.
Judge w. W. Graves and Judge
Charles G. Revelle dissented from the
opinion of Judge Bond. but have not
filed their dissents in the shape of
an opinion.
Judge Bond ~sustains absolutely the
right and power of the chief execu-
tive of the state to remove from Of
flee, with or without cause, any police
commissioner.
Judge Bond says the power to re-
move was inserted in the statutes and
PESTS in the discretion of the governor
upon prescribed grounds, the exist
ence of which he is allowed to deter
mine to his own satisfaction.
The reasons given for the COVER
nor's action in removing Crandall and
Mcdonald, Judge Bond says, were in
strict conformity to the statutory
power. He was thus possessed OF
jurisdiction to act, and his exercise OF
hat jurisdiction was the discharge OF
an executive duty imposed IN him as
the governor of the state, which is
not renewable by the courts.

Reorganization plan.

The reorganization plan for the Mis-
souri, Pacific and st. Louis & Iron
Mountain railroad systems was pre-
scented to the state public service COM
mission by B. F. Bush, receiver for the
property, and attorneys representing
the roads and the New York banking
houses that will undertake the re-
financing plan. 1t was stated that all
interests, excepting the holders OF
bonds of $3,O0O,O 900 supposed to be in
Germany, have assented to the plan.
The commission was told that one
system under a Missouri charter will
be made out of the 1000 miles of the
two lines. Paul D. Cravath of New
York declared the Missouri Pacific
had been forced into a ~receivership
because of bad financing and not be-
cause of the roads earning capacity
had decreased. He stated that a syn
dictate has underwritten $48,0o0,00 in
cash, or as much of that amount as
may be needed, to take up the $25,-
100000 Of gold bonds, and also to pay
off some $3,O0O,O0O of interest now
due.

Blind Amendment.

Many voters apparently have be-
come SO confused as to the exact
meaning of the proposed amendment
to the Missouri constitution, which
would permit the legislature to pro-
vide pensions for worthy blind per
sons, that those who are working in
behalf of the amendment are concen-
trating their Efforts to clear away
misunderstanding.
Edward F. Endicott, a blind law
student and chairman of the ways and
means committee Of the United Work
ers for the Blind, said that there
seems to be a widespread impression
that the adoption Of the amendment
would automatically create a pen.
sion fund, which is a false impress
sion.
The proposed amendment simply
empowers the legislature, whenever
it sees fit, to pass laws to grant
whatever subsidies to blind indiyid'
uals it may deem advisable. The con
~stitution as 1t stands makes any such
legislation impossible, however de
sirable the law-making authorities
might find it.
If the amendment is adopted, Enid
colt explained, it would then be nee
essary to convince the legislature
not only that a desired relief should
be given as a matter Of public policy
but also that any relief prayed fol
was actually needed and that any
money appropriated would be prop
erly spent.

Is Missouri Doubtful?

Missouri seems to be considered
doubtful by both parties. The ablest
speakers of the state and of the ma
ton are out on the firing lines. Never
before have the Republicans made
such a fight in this state to carry
its electoral vote and never before
have the Democrats made such a
fight to hold its vote in the Demo
ccratic column--the loss Of the state
in 1904 and in 1908, and the fact that
in 1912 the Wilson vote did not equal
the combined vote Of Roosevelt and
Taft in Missouri have forced and is
forcing the Democrats to overlook no
move which might help them to a
victory.
