introduces Bessie Warren in some of her

ludicrous Samanthy CIaud HulD, and the

GREASER IGNORANCE

From the New York Globe.
 If the United States is compelled to en- ter upon protracted and costly war in Mexico it will result directly from the density of the ignorance of the Mexican masses. Ignorance breeds prejudice, and among an ignorant people prejudice can- not be removed by the ordinary methods of enlightenment The Mexican believes that American aims and American meth ods of today are similar to the American aims and methods of a decade or five decades ago. No protestation of friendli- ness can alter his belief
 A strong man in Mexico might keep the Mexican people from the folly of war. There appears to be only one strong man in Mexico today, and he is a bandit and murderer, the outlaw Villa, whose hatred of the United States led to the present crisis. Carranza is not strong He means well, but he drifts with the tide of popular prejudice, not being brave enough to breast it.
 The Mexicans of today are not them selves to blame for their miserable condi- tion of mental inefficiency They are the logical product of generations of exploi- tation and oppression. During these long
 years the United States stood as the friend of their oppressors, and individual Americans took a prominent part in the
 exploitation. To impress these dulleC minds with an appreciation of the benev- olence of the United States has proved to be an impossible task.
 These facts explain, but they do not condone the treachery and barbarism of Mexico The Mexican people, if they up-
 hold outlawry and stand ready to pro- tect criminals from punishment, become themselves criminal. The American duty of self-protection cannot be modified by
 any consideration of the why and where fore of Mexican conditions.
 If war does come it will be perhaps
 the most needless war of all history The United States does not desire to fight and the dearest wish of Americans is that Mexicans retain and enjoy complete in- dependence It will be an amazing para dox if the United States is compelled to fight all Mexico to prove its good inteh- tions.

MAYORS STRANGE APPEAL

From Popular Mechanics.
 One of the strangest and most weird public appeals that has been made dur ing modern times in civilized country recently emanated from a Belgian mag istrate. It is pathetic in tone and start ling, being serious prayer that any sub- ject determined upon suicide use either poison or a rope in ending his life. The reason for this remarkable utterance is to be found in the regulations imposed by the German authorities in Belgium. At the time the country was formally occupied by the enemy. orders were is- sued that all firearms in the possession of the inhabitants be turned over to the proper officials. Severe punishment was provided for those failing to obey the command. Now. however, it is asserted that whenever firearm is found by tha authorities, the owner, if he can be To- cated, is imprisoned and the community fined for his misdemeanor. Recently a man in a small village killed himself with a gun. The community is reported to have been fined $2500-a staggering sum to tawnsmen in the starving village. And it was the mayor of the place who posted the public announcement directed to those contemplating suicide.

THE MODERN WOMAN

 Justus Miles Forman, in his three last novels, may be said to have drawn three sides of the modern woman. In "The Opening Door, the heroine found out a way to serve ''the cause when she dis covered the role of militant suffragst was not for her; in "The Blind Spot" a rich New York girl became interested in schemes for civic betterment, and in his last novel, 'The Twin Sisters" the girl shows that she cares for other things as well.

I want to be told that l am pretty and that inspire my man to do whatever 1t is he does better than he did it before. want-children.

From the Boston Herald.
 "HE late John T. Morgan Of Ala
 bama was one of, the most schol-
 l. arly men that ever served the United States Senate. He dared to differ with his party and sectional associates on many questions chiefly those of ex- pansion, for he favored bringing the Philippine Islands and other subtroplcai territory under the flag. He one day gave to a group of intimate friends his reasons, which are not without perti- nency to the Mexican situation as it now confronts us
 Senator Morgan said he always Ia vored bringing into the Sunion territory wherever located, which from its geo. graphical position would ultimately ln- cline to the southern view of the ques- tions fundamental to the nation. lie foresaw that the relation of the whites to the native races in the archipelago would be not unlike the relation between the whites and the colored men Of the south.

WHAT IS A "BAD" RESTAURANTs from the New York World.

From tH6 NcW l Orh w OIlu.
 As the sanitary inspection of New York restaurants proceeds, certain defects are revealed in he~system of grading adopted by the health department which tend to give an erroneous popular impression Why should only one restaurant of 1S1 examined deserve to be rated as "good'' and only five as "fair,' while 175 are Jumped as "bad?''
 To most people bad restaurant is one where the food is of poor quality or pre- pared under conditions of uncleanliness or served in a slovenly manner. Under the departments classification restau- rant may be technically 'bad' in any one of 25 different particulars. Un- screened windows or unrefrigerated milk or the lack of a clean towel for each of the employees is sufficient to condemn 1t. Apparently, for restaurant to qualify as good under these requirements at- tention to the physical condition of the premises is quite as essential as quality of the food or perfection of service.
 This strict rating is desirable enough on hygienic grounds, and no doubt many restaurants certified as bad may be- come good" or at least flair" with a little care. But it is to be regretted that a happier classification and one less likely to create a wrong impression could not have been adopted by the department. After all, it is the food and the way it is served, and not a crack in the ceiling. that Is of the most importance.

HULA DANCE CRAZE SPREADS

New York Correspondence Pittsburg Dis
 patch.
 The hula dance, which was brought here from Hawaii, has a strangle-hold on the musical comedy stage and cabar- cts, and 1t would not be surprising if the dancing professors give it the once over. The dance was introduced to Broadway by Doraldino, the diminutive Spanish dancer, who delighted the pa irons of Risenweber's with her wiggles. And since her debut with Lew Fields in Step This Way" other musical shows have adopted the dance. Ann Pen nington is doing a hula dance in the new Ziegfeld "Folles." That the craze is spreading is evidenced by the fact that plans are under way to put terpsichor- can numbers of this nature in several projected musical productions. Vaudeville will probably first see the dance through the medium of Gertrude Hoffman. It is understood she is preparing to do some "Hulaing." Mantilla, another dancer is arranging to use this dance in vaudeville, too. The idea prevails that no hula num- Der is properly done unless the dancer is accompanied by a Hawaiian orchestra As a result, the Hawaiian musicians are growing fat and prosperous.

MIR. eLYNN's CATEGORICAL SUCCESS

From the New York World.
 It was remarkable tribute that the democratic convention paid to the ora tory of ex-Governor Glynn. Even more convincing is the judgment of MT. Bryan, who says that it 'captivated the conven- ton" and placed the speaker among the foremost orators of the country"
 Mir. Bryan's opinion is authoritative and the generosity of his commendation makes it the more pleasing. As he has recently said, quoting Webster. "elo- quence exists in the man. in the subject and in the occasion" All three were blended here. as was not the case at any time in Chicago.
 In the spoken as in the written word, there is tremendous power in truth, MT. Glynn knew his audiences; he knew his subject; he brought into full play intel lectual gifts of a high order, and he no doubt used with effect his personal attractions of voice and manner; but in addition to these he had an array of facts which would have made a less ac- complished speaker invincible.
 New York. long we'll acquainted with it's former governors ability in many di- rectioins, will felicitate him upon his tri- umph as cordially as MT. Bryan has done. When the man who has ruled three turbulent conventions with his elo- quence says that MT. Glynns effort was epoch making, we may be sure that the testimony of the vast assemblage which heard him was sincere as well as intelli- gent.

From the Indianapolis News.
 n ACK in the other days there was
 TX a boy in our school who knew 1t 0 all! Maybe there was one like him in your school, too Our bright boy s name was Bobby, and no one was ever able to tell him thing that he didn't already know. If a fellow pupil told an interesting story, Bobby always said loftily: "I've got a book at home that tells all about that" When the teacher brought out some bit of knowledge which he had paid for at college for the ex- press purpose of airing it in the school rooms later, Bobby got off his favorite remark about the book at home that told all about it. It was such joke in that
 school-that remarkable book-and the other pupils would wink at each other
 slyly and say, for Bobbys benent' .sWisht we had book like that 'un."
 I had forgotten the old school joke un- til the other day-when I suddenly found that book! Well, really, it was only the prospectus of it, but it must be late edition of Bobby's valuable volume, Tor it tells all about everything The golden haired slip of girl who was taking or ders for it got by the front door and proceeded to tell me all about Boppy s book. To be sure, she didn't call It py that name, and doubt if she had ever heard of Bobby, but the longer she talked the more firmly was I convinced that at last, after many years I'd found 1t. What interesting news this would be for all the pupils of that old school, and how I'd like to be the one to tell them-but alas! they are scattered in many direc- lions, some of them gone to that land where all knowledge that is worth while is now theirs The agent told me that this book began with the creation and
