Justice to King HsFd1nsuA Of the
RumanlAas.

1t would be ungenerous and unjust
to ignore the claims Of King FERDr-
NAxD Of Rumania to consideration In
the catalOguing Of those whose titles
to fame rest upon the fact that they
have kept their people out Of war.
Already the distinguished services
performed by CONSTANTINE to his
Hellenic subjects have been cOnsid-
ered: the notable contributions Of
Mr.. WILSON to peace IRE celebrated
daily by those who conceive the avoid
ance of war. regardless Of the sacri.
fees that avoidance entails, to be the
principal duty Of on Executive: the
case OF the Grand Duchess MARIE.
ADELAIDE Of Luxembourg has received
attention ; the horrible example Of the
Belgian King ALSERr has not been
neglected; obviously FERDINAND Of
Rumania must not be overlooked.
King FERDINAND, ardent, ambitious,
capable. surrounded by war. the VIC
tim Of a thousand open and secret
attacks. implored. threatened and en-.
ticed; his royal duty and his per-
sonal prejudlces played upon his self.
interest and the future Of his king.
dom utilized to enforce the appeals
made to him: FERDINAND has re.
mnined immovnble. and his subjects
are fully warranted IN pridefully ex-
claiming the Rumanian equivalent Of
HE has kept US out Of war;
The circumstances under which
FERDINAND has earned the privilege
Of hearing this exhilarating cry more
nearly approximate thosd which have
Influenced CONSTANTINE than those
which Mr.. WILSON has encountered
or those which surrounded the Grand
Duchess. In II classification accord.

all the factors being considered. Fee
DlNAND would. we are convinced. rank
second; CONSTANTINE unQuestionably
stands first; and Mr.. WILSON must
divide the third place with the Grand
Duchess MAslE-ADELAIpE.
As for ALBERT Of Belgium. he does
not belong In this category: but as
Mr.. WILSON may natter himself by
linking his fame with that Of the
Grand Duchess. ALBERT may reflect,

The Eternal Question.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuS-S1: II may
comfort &c. T. c." to know that tho
Creator Of the universe IL not the father
Of human beings except as they are born
Of His spirit and thus become the children
Of God.
Adam was not created tho Son Of God,
he was merely the work of His hands.
And We are not to believe that the Creator
turns out images Of Himself destined
either for heaven or he'll.
That which Is going on In Europe Is
simply a family hght for property. They
called each other Into existence. Now they
are trying TO exterminats each other.

WHERE MR.. WILSON ERRS.
Society Has Never Sanctioned an Iron
Rule for Working Hours.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str: Mr.
Wilson say Society has sanctioned the
eight hour day"
Society has done nothing Of the kind,
for II II had II would practice 1t al
home with the servants. and there are
at least a million homes that have ser
wants that do 10 n canno adopt
this rule.
1t Is simply ridiculous to make an
iron rule for every kind Of work, and the
demand Of the brotherhoods is for higher
wages. pure and simple. and not an
eight hour day.
There would be tremendous opposition
on their part II Congress attempted to
pass a law forbidding any n to allow
an employee to work more than eight
hours. Mr.. Wilson had a great oppor-
tunity to settle this trouble at once.
He should have told the brotherhood
that they must arbitrate all questions 1t
issue. II they refused he should have
told them that he would at once ask
Congress to repeal that part Of the Clay
ton act which exempted them from the
operation Of the Sherman antitrust law,
have a law passed forcing all labor
unions to incorporate, and II a strike took
place proceed against them In the Fed
eral courts for conspiracy, and use every
power Of the Government. both army and
militia. to enable the railroads to oper-
ate their property.
This would unquestionably have ended
the matter. and they would have been
glad to arbitrate. All disputes between
railroads and their employees should be
arbitrated before the Interstate Com
merce Commission. because they alone
understand these questions In all their
bearings. and have the power to change
the rates. +. f. w.

"kATINKA"
At The Davis Tonight.

With 2 cast of principals recruited from the very best musical scomedy talent Broadway affords, and with one of the largest and sprightliest choruses that ever came out of New York. Ka- tinka, on it's first tour of the United states, following it's sensat tional suc- cess of last winter in the American theatrical metropolis, will be present. ed at Davis theatre tonight at eight o'clock
 Katinka is the work of Otto Hauer- bach and Rudolph F'riml. author and composer of The Firefy and High links, and was staged by Arthur Ham merstein, responsible for the elabor- G-te staging of the two former produc- uons. It is credited with eclipsing its predecessors in mirthfulness. tunefulness and gorgeousness
 Russia, Turkey. and Australia each furnish . picturesque locality for the development of the plot, which is in three acts. Katinka, a pretty Russian maiden. is being forced into a disa- greeable marriage with an elderly statesman. but on the night of her wedding, her lover, Ivan, learns that Boris already has a wife. He steals Katfnka away. and the two, accom- panied by an American friend named Hopper, proceed to Turkey, in search of Mrs. Boris, who is said to be hid ing in harem. After some exciting and ridiculous adventures in the do main of the sultan, they proceed to Vienna, where Mrs Boris is tracked at last, and whpre numerous compIi- cations that have arisen are straight ened out.
 It will readily be seen that such a plot offers infinite opportunities for elaborate stage settings and hand some costuming. and MT. Hammersteip is n i'd to have missed none of them Mr. F'riml has provided musical score shifting in themes to meet the requirements of the several localities and fairly bristling with hits, of which "Rackety Coo" is the most pronounc- ed.

Do some foods you eat hit back taste good but work badly; ferment into stubborn Jumps and cause sick, sour, gassy stomach? Now, MT. or Mrs. Dyspeptic, jot this down: Pape's Diapepsin digests everything, leaving nothing to sour and upset you. There never was anything so safely quick. so certainly effective. No difference how badly your stomach is disordered you will get happy relief in five minutes, but what pleases you most is that 1t strengthens and regulates your stom- ach so you can eat your favorite foods without fear.
 Most remedies give you relief some times-they are slow, but not sure. Tapes Diapepsin" is quick, positive and puts your stomach in a healthy condition so the misery won't come back.
 You feel different as soon as Tapes Diapepsin'' comes in contact with the stomach-distress just vanishes-your stomach gets sweet, no gases, no belching, no eructations of undigested food, your head clears and you feel fine.
 Go now, make the best investment you ever made, by getting a large fifty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin from any drug store. You realize in five minutes how needless it is to suf- fer from indigestion, dyspepsia or any stomach disorder.

GIVE ME A VIOLIN.

When I went down the winter street. Cheeks ungling with the cold. met a man to hurt my heart,
 Ragged and bent and old. These things must be, the world is full Of sorrow crossed with sin, But underneath his fiimsy coat
 He hugged a violin. We are but dust, we pass to dust,
 Our souls the thralls of clay, Our bodies vesture that at last
 Must drag them to decay Sometimes we do not mind the rents That let the winter in When out of summer long ago
 We hear violin. This is our conflict, age by age,
 Plugging our spirits warm, Shielding some sparks against the raga
 That drives us down the storm. When I must walk with head bent low
 Feeling my coat grown thin, Let me believe the roses blow;
 Give me 3 violin. Lewis Warrington Smith, In the
