The Underdog and His Day.

This is the day of the underdog. AT
least in the United States is he being
given greater and more sympathetic
consideration than ever before. Social
reforms are charging through city and
country. Field Marshals Enthusiasm,
Kindness and Utility head the drives.
The munitions mobilization consists of
statistics, tabulations and card induces.
Normal and colorless, indeed, is he who
has escaped being placed under the
sociological, psychological or some other
"ological' lense
Nature responds cordially to offers
of kindly assistance. We are all Of us
in degree the keeper of our less fortu-
nate brother. These are the aphorisms
of newer and brighter era, not alto
gether altruistic, but afording generous
promise of betterment because based
on Che insistent demand of humanity
that even the most lowly and depraved
Of those made in God Is likeness are en-
titled to show.
And that brings us to the criminal
clinic. Under old forms of police work
in large cities, when crime was prov
ed and conviction made, the only
thing to do was to pronounce sentence.
The ATTITUDES allowed by the statute,
in rigor or clemency, marked the limit
ations of things. No thought was TAX
en- Of whether derelicts might be not
wholly responsible, owing to mental de-
fectiveness, for their derelictions.
When we began turning into the new
day, it was soon noticed that there was
a class Of continuing offenders long
known to the police as "repeaters, y
because, after fine, or Imprisonment,
they could be expected to be re-arrested
for a repetition of the offense of an
other Of similar character.
The facts argue for mental defective
ness as a cause of much law breaking,
and in some of the great cities Of the
country there has been connected with
the police department mental clinics
for the study of such cases and taking
means for the cure of such unfortu-
mates, as far as possible. The cost Of
maintaining such clinic is never large
and is, in fact, neglible when count
ed against the great revenues of great
cities or set against the improved con-
dition of unfortunate humanity.
It is also giving the underdog show
and that is part and parcel of the
white mans burden nowadays.--Osh-
kosh Northwestern.

One Pen This Time.

We read that the president has
boldly signed the pork river and harbor
bill, and his facile pen is dripping with
ink eager to attach itself to a pork
| public buildings BILL
Did he use only one pen this times
He generally uses several on such occa.
sions, for distribution as souvenirs.
And in the history of pork statesman.
ship this $42,0O0,000 river and harbor
bill was measure of distinction. It is
described On trustworthy evidence as
in some respects the most scandalous
measure Of the sort ever sent to the
White House for approval. -
Then why only one pen, when there
must have been SO many pork congress
men around eager for mementoes?
However, no doubt Senator Clarke
Of Arkansas got the pen, and we hope
Mr.. Frear, who is opposed to pork, was
not SO uncivil as to mention pig pens.
The pork river and harbor bill signed,
now for the pork public buildings bill.
We are wondering how many pure
fat pork items of this sort are in it
we quote from Mr.. Whitaker IS sample
list of individual pork bills which were
presented for inclusion in the general
bill:
Grand Canyon, Ariz., population
299, postofice receipts $5,312, ap-
preparation for postofice building,
$4,000; Susanville, Cal, 638,
$7,o5S, 100000; Mancos, Colo, SGT,
$4,o40, $4,000; Brooksville, Fla,
979, 1886, 100000; Greenville,
Ga, 900, $2,84s, 100000; HALEY,
Idaho, 1921, 5000, 100000; Nc
Kee, Ky, 146, 1926, $4,000; Sal
yersville, KY, 80, $1,161, $75, 900;
Clayton, N: NJ, 97o, $7,84s, $685.
600; Pembina, N. D., III, $2,o27,
$4,000; Franklin, N. G., $40,
$4,433, $4,000; Pawnee, Okla,
2,161, 1914, 100000; Seneca, S.
G., 1873, 5000, 100000; Louisa,
Va, 318, $5,0s4, $4,000; Webster
Springs, W. Va, 500, So, 1862, $780,
600; sundance, Wyo., 281, $2,989,
$4,000.
As we said before in this connection.
the above list deserves careful examin-
alton as illustrative of the meaning and
responsiveness of pork when we consider
that in the above list Of sample de-
mands $1,395,000 worth of postoffice
quarters are requested for the accom-
modation Of 1o,717 people.
After signing without demur the
bills above specified, the president may
reflect on the following plank in the
Baltimore platform of 1912:
eve denounce the profigate waste
Of money wrung from the people by OPP
pressive taxation through the lavish
appropriations of recent Republican
congresses, which have kept taxes high
and reduced the purchasing power Of
the people IS toll. We demand a return
to that simplicity and economy which
BELTS a Democratic government. -

Mr.. LaFollette is said to object tc
being called Democrat. We know
Of no way to define the party of man
better than to follow his action in Of
fee. The political activity of the sen
ator has been in support of Democratic
measures. He may have acted with
candor and honesty and if he did, his
action is not to be questioned. How
ever, under the circumstances he can
not expect the support of a Republi-
can party, the measures of which he
helped to defeat.

One would naturally expect Mr.. Hat
ton to condemn the appointments Of
Governor Philip. He has got so ac-
customed to running for something or
being appointed to something that with
a lot Of jobs being handed out with

that the times are out Of joint and that
Governor Philip is all wrong.

President Wilson has named Con-
gresham James Hay of Virginia, as a
member of the Court Of Claims. This
is good news to the long list Of South
erners who have for years been press
ing civil war claims. Northerners pay
most Of the taexs under Democratic
laws and it has been the policy of the
Democrats to turn the greater proper
tion of the public expenditures toward
the south.

Primary candidates are urged to re-
member that it is not the man who is
promised the most votes who lands the
nomination. Political promises have
long been considered Of the consistency
of pie crusts-made to be broken and
it is probable that there will be just
as many of them broken in the present
campaign as in the former ones. Real
ly the things that count are the votes
in the ballot boxes.

Governor Philip promises to "tea1

Now if Blaine Of Boscobel would just

ANY PLACE IN GREATER NEW
YORK.
a letter addressed to the president
of the Daytona board of trade BY
General Passenger Agent John D.
Rainier. Of the Florida East Coast
railway, day or SO ago, contained
the following announcement, which
viii not only be Of interest but most
gratifying to many visitors in Day
tona as well as local people:
1T may possibly interest you and
other members Of the board of trade
to know that, commencing with the
year 1916, we have perfected an ar
rangement with the New York Trans
fer company whereby the baggage
agent, Daytona, may check from his
station direct to any residence, hotel,
business address, steamship or rail
road terminal in New York City, the
Bronx. Brooklyn, Jersey City, Hobo
ken and Bayonne.
THE baggage is forwarded under a
special delivery check which insures
prompt handling upon its arrival in
New York. This arrangement, which
is fast becoming universal, is the
ideal method of handling baggage, as
it can be forwarded in advance Of
the departure of the owner and be
ready at destination on his arrival. OF
il checked for forwarding on same
train with owner it receives, per Sc
quicker handling and a more prompt
delivery, as baggage under these spe
cial checks is always given the prece
dence.
The charge for this service, which
must be prepaid, is only % cents.
This added facility will doubtless
be appreciated by the visitors to Day
tona, especially in view Of the fact
that for the present at least only the
patrons Of the Florida East Coast rail
way are favored, no other line in
Florida providing this service"

Paramount Picture Company pre-.
sent Ann Pennington in "The Rain
bow Princess"
When Ann Pennington was creating
a sensation on the stage in the "Zieg-
field Follies," the little star decided
that she had enough spare time to be-
come a motion picture satellite, con-
stellation or luminary. She accord
ingly made her motion picture debut
in the Famous Players-paramount
production Susie Snowflake" in
which she scored a decided success.
So happy was the outcome of this
venture that Miss Pennington de.
clared herself ready and willing to be
starred again on the screen.
So when the Famous Players in
formed her that they have secured
1.-THE Rainbow Princess" for her Sec
ond photoplay, the diminutive star
was delighted. 1t was such a pretty
title, she thought. But when Director
]. Searle Dawley began outlining the
story to her, Miss Pennington's eyes
gradually opened until they were in
great danger of popping out! This is
