one where love presides at the
board and watches over the couches
where each person loves himself

glad in laboring for the other :

The power of an endless life IS
something of present experience.
TO live at all is to hunger for a
larger living. TO be conscious Of
ourselves is to be conscious that
we are but the germ of what We
may be, that we have scarcely
begun to fiji the promise of our
nature. The path of duty seems
at first to be a straight line; but
we cannot long follow i without
being convinced that it is a circle,
whose center i God. One cannot
throw himself with all the force
that is in him into any noble under
taking without being carried by

Let us learn to be content with
what we have. Let us get rid of
Our false estimates, set up all he

of the inspiration of a genius; a
few friends worthy Of being loved
and able to love us i'll return; a
hundred innocent pleasures that
bring no pain or remorse; a devo-
ton to the right that will never
swerve; a simple religion empty
of all bigotry, fnll of trust, hope
and love and to such a philoso-
ply this world will give us all the
empty joy it hhs.-David Swing.

proclaimed, theory of warfare preached
by German war writer's before the great
struggle began. The campaign in Bel
gium was pitched in this key, the key of
"frightfulness." 1t was marked by ter
rible reprisals upon villages, towns and
cities, upon men, women and children
singly and in groups. 1t was deliberate
ly designed to compel abject acceptance
Of the fact of German occupation of
Belgium by making any form of resist
ance cause for immediate execution.
Of course, there is no force in Eng
lands present declaration save on the
assumption Of peace on the basis of the
defeat of Germany. If that comes to
pass the Fryatt case may become one of
the important factors in the final .ad-
justments.

Fairgrounds for Adults.

Mrs. Rhodes, supervisor of play
grounds, proposes that the recreation
spaces should be kept open at night for
the use of adults and is now investigat-
ing the matter to determine the Incl
dental cost, especially in the way of
lighting. This is a most excellent plan
and it is to be hoped that means will
be found to carry it into execution. The
grown-ups of Washington need outdoor
assemblage as well as the children. These
Fairgrounds might easily be made to
serve as community centers, places for
dances and concerts and lectures. Maj
Pullman proposes that if the plan can
be worked out he will arrange to have
series of talks on street safety de-
livered Other attractions and useful
features could readily be provided, and
with such inducements to gather at the
Fairgrounds, along with the physical ex-
ercises permitted by the appliances there
the. people would be sure to assemble
throughout the summer season, greatly
to their physical benefit.

The Jailed Street Orator.

Washington's sympathy will not be
deeply stirred by the attempted martyr
dom of the socialist orator who, arrested
the other night for attempting to speak
at a street corner here after his per-
NIT had been revoked, has insisted upon
going to Jail rather than accept release
on bail pending trial. From all the
circumstances it would appear that he
has deliberately sought to inflict un-
necessary Hardship upon himself in or
der to attract attention through his claim
of right to talk in public wherever
and whenever he wishes, regardless of
the consequences to the peace of the
But attention will not carry
his case through the court.
There is an undoubted right Of free
speech in this country and its exercise
is encouraged by the law. But that same
law also empowers the authorities to
regulate the exercise, and in its regula-
tion in Washington the Commissioners
are authorized to prohibit street speak
ing in case it is shown that the use
of the public spaces tends to create
disturbance. The affair of last Friday
night at Market space plainly proved
that in the present temper of certain
classes Of the people public attacks upon
the military system Of this country are
calculated to incite rioting.

The Infantile Paralysis Conference

A conference of nationwide impor-
tance begins in this city today, the state
health officers from all parts of the
country assembling for the purpose OF
discussing the plague of anterior poll
omyelitis, or infantile paralysis, now
raging in several of the large cities and
threatening to spread elsewhere. No
definite expectations are entertained
that this conference will result in the
discovery of specific remedy of pre-
vention or cure, but it is nevertheless of
the most vital consequence that the gen
eral situation with reference to this dis
ease be considered by representatives of
the states.
Thus far no progress has been made
toward determining the source and cause
and the means of communicating the
disease. Many theories have been ad-
vanced, but none has been established
Chickens, horses, flies, cats and dogs
have all been accused of conveying the
infection. The hot weather has been
ascribed as the chief cause of the dis
ease spreading conditions. Bad santa
tion has been alleged. Close congestion
of habitation has been indicted. Yet the
disease has spread in circumstances that
defy all of these hypothesis. 1t has
gone into the homes Of the wealthy as
we'll as the poor. In New York it has
struck at sanitary sections as well as
the fostering slums. 1t has prevailed
persistently after thorough fumigation
and cleansing. It has, in short, defed
every known rule of prevention. Only
absolute quarantine of the most far
reaching kind has checked it.
The disease up to date has attacked
1858 persons in Greater New York, of
whom ,4e7 have died, or death rate
of 22.5 per cent, or one death for every
four and one-half cases. This is an ap-
palling figure. It establishes new NOR
tality record for the disease. So far as
is known, this is the largest epidemic of
this disease that ever occurred any
where. The greatest previous outbreak
was in New York in 1907, when $500
cases developed. In Sweden in 1905 s6s
cases were recorded; in Buffalo in 1912,
500 cases appeared, and in Rutland, VT
in 1894, 225 cases were treated Thus in
this present epidemic in New York there
have been to date more than half as
many again cases as in all the other
four outbreaks. And the end is not yet
in sight in New York. 1t is now feared
that before the epidemic ceases it will
