Dr. J. ID, $. Smith
 Sells Residence
 To Isaac T. Banks

The residence of Dr. J. D. S. Smith, at 459 Fairfield avenue, adjoining the westerly wall of the Crawford Laun- dry building above Courtland street has been purchased by I. T. Banks, the Cannon street livery-man for the ostensible purpose of erecting an in- dustrial building.
 pr. Smith, who for thirteen years has lived and practiced medicine in what was once the Meeker homestead confirmed the sale this morning, though he refused to divulge the pur- chase price.
 A rumor current in realty circles to- day that George E. Crawford owner of the laundry bearing his name had ac- quired, the property through MT. Banks for the purpose of building ad- ditional factory and powerhouse facil- ities was denied to-day by MT. Craw- ford.
 Dr. Smith in explaining his reasons for selling after so long an establish ed residence in the vicinity of Court land street and Fairfield avenue said that it was evident that business de- mands had encroached on the neigh borhood to such an extent that the future there was to be commercial of taxation and the demands for com mercial purposes had placed sucf valuations upon the property that i was only a question of time now wher all residents must leave.

''BABY CARRIER" BUSINESS GROWS
 WITH JAPANESE
Infants Born Here Sent to the FlOWery Kingdom to Be
 Educated.

Tokio, Sept. S.-Attention is being called here to the growing success f what is known as the Baby Carrier business between the United States and Japan. The essence of the idea Is the bringing to Japan of Japanese babies born in the United States in or der that they may be brought up in ton here.
 Over three thousand babies, it is estimated, are born every year to Jap anese families in Calf ornia Many families are anxious to have their children reared in Japan but are fi- nancially unable to bring the babies home. Consequently hundreds of ba- bies are brought here by carriers. On each trip the carrier-a Japanese man or a Japanese man with his wife brings from five to fifteen babies and distributes them in all parts of the empire. usually at the home of the grandparents. Masumi Yoshimi, one of those who conceived the carrier trou blesome. On arrival at Yoko- hama he engages a sufficient number project, says he does not find the work of nurses to look after the babies in the train and then follows a carefully prepared itinerary. 'The only danger he said, '1s mixing up the babies, but I have solved that by keeping an iden- tification card constantly tied around the neck of each child"

IF THE KING SHOULD GO
(From the Independent)


 Progress distributes wealth, knowl- edge and power in widening zones. It prepares the people for republics and democracies. It threatens royal hous- es War gives the excuse of necessity for encroachments supon liberty, for requiring urquestioning obedience to authority, for increasing royal reve- nues, for subOrdinating civic to mili- taristic interests. The present war is a HohenZollern war, to save the Ho- henzollern house against a rising tide )f middle class and proIetarian power We said this two years ago, and we repeat it now. Tens of thousands of readers in neutral and in the war ringt nations who did not Believe it then are now fully convinced of it's truth. The evidence of it is too clear, too abundant, too overwhelming to be denieds How soon the resistless flood of popular power. rising again to full height after the war is over, will sweep the kings into oblivion, we do not venture to guess. The data upon which to base a well-considered fore cast are not yet at hand. But on an- | other. related, question certain inter- esting speculations may be indulged. If the kings should go at no dis tant date what things in consequence might happen? Presumably the kings, with all their responsibility for evil, perform a function in the exist ing social order. What is it? And is there any way, now obvious, to get | their function performed when kings go into the discard?
 There is an answer to these ques- tions and it runs something like this: Dynasties live for the future Aris- | tocracies live for the next genera tion. Republics live for the>time be- ing. Democracies live from hand to mouth. H. c. Wells is fond of the word "muddle." In his latest books he uses it at every turn, and at every turn the use he makes of it is legitimate. It is the one word that tells the truth | that he is proclaiming. The English | American civilization of today is a | more and more democratic civiliza- = | ton, and, also, it is "muddle.'' It is | plahless, unorganized, wastefuI, and above all, regardless of the future | Policies are shaped to get the quickest | immediate returns for the least possi-
 ble present cost. And why not? What | particular person, family, group, or class is there in a democracy to prof. | it by plans and expenditures for fu- ture realizat ton? What family, group or class then in a democracy has a | lively motive to forecast the future and to plan for it?
 In human history thus far just three institutions have vigorously as- serted the future-regarding propen- sity. The aristocratic or noble family does so. Still more vehemently the
 dynasty does so. In a general and somewhat variable way, the Church
 has done so. For that provision for the future which hitherto has con-
 served resources, planned cities and
 beautiful country and town, the world
 has been indebted chiefly to dynas-
 ties. When the kings go who or what
 shall take over the function of provi-
 dence and keep democratic mankind
 from sinking deeper and deeper ir
 "muddle'' as it more and more lives 1 from hand to mouth?

WATCH YOUR STEP!

In figures compiled by Lieutenant Charles A. Wheeler. superintendent of the traffic department of the police. it Is shown that Main street and Fair field avenue is one of the busiest cor ners in the world and ranks seventh in the list of intersections through which much vehicular traffic passes. According to the lieutenant, the traf- fife at this corner is about one-third as great as that at Columbus Circle, New York, which is regarded as the busiest corner. The traffic at the principal corner in this city iA about the same as that which passes Fifth avenue and Thirty-fourth street New York.
