Wanting to Know


A number of German schoolgirls
We're recently asked by the education
authorities to state some subject con-
nected with the war on which they
would like further enlightenment. The
majority of the questions put were in
a similar strain to that of the patriotic
maiden, who asked, Does America
really know of our great successes in
Russia? The English lie so awfully,"
and must have been very gratifying to
the teachers of the young idea in Ger
many. Others, however. showed a re-
grettable tendency on the part of the
inquirers to probe into matters which,
as every 'well-brought-up fraulein
knows, should be left unquestioningly
TO her elders and betters. We are not
told whether the authorities promis ed
to answer the questions asked, but it
is to be hoped for their sakes that they
did not What, for instance, could DR..
Helferich say to the girl who wished
to know how the Government proposed
to repay all the war loans, with Ger
many in the state of bankruptcy which
the end of hostilities would inevita bly,
find her? The willy Great General Staff,
too. would be puzzled to know how to
tackle a question which suggested that
the official figures reporting Russian
prisoners taken were not always strict
ly accurate. "They are" remarked the
searcher after truth, so very immense"

The Progressive Party
philadelphia North American. ]


It is only stating an obvious fact to
say that the Progressive party, as a
political entity, is facing a well-nigh
hopeless situation. Colonel Roosevelt's s
message to the convention. postponing
for consideration acceptance of its
presidential nomination, coupled with
his positive announcement that he is
"out of politics." seems to eliminate
the last vestige of hope that he will
take the leadership.
Colonel Roosevelt is under the COM
pulsion of circumstances the inexorable
logic of events makes this course on
his part inevitable.
He believes that the nation is pass
ing through crisis; that it faces perils
which are imminent or which will
threaten in the not distant future.
Whether his Judgment is right or
wrong, 1t is unquestionable that this is
his sincere conviction.
He believes with all his mind and
heart that. because of existing con-
ditions, wisconsin is. great menace

CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES

recently offered an amendment to
the Post Office appropriation bill
to authorize the Post Office De-
partment to send magazines by
freight instead of by mail. Now
if he will introduce an amend
ment prohibiting the sending of
newspapers by either freight or mail,
he will be on the way to Democratic
success. All the Democrats need is
suppression of the facts, to enable
them to win the next election.

ON A SAFE AND SANE BASIS

TT Is pleasant to note the announce
ment that the war has caused
manufacturers to cut down the
amount of explosive in the Fourth of
July ''papercaps" to about one
seventh the quantity used in the
manufacture of a parlor match" The
"papercap" never was in the death
dealing class of fireworks and this
year it promises to be harmless enough
to satisfy even the most ardent advo-
cate of safe and sane Fourth"
Young America can scarcely be
restrained from shooting something
or other on the national holiday and
it begins to look as though parents
will be able to compromise this year
on 'papercap pistol" with no harm
to any one, for "one-seventh the
amount of explosive in a parlor
match" can't have much potentiality
for lockjaw or blownout eyes.

Whv a $4,000 Man Got Fired

"A big commercial house in the
Middle West raised the salary of one
OF it's officers to $40,0 900 a year.
THE officer was greatly pleased.
Now my ambition is satisfied he
said.
Within two years the concern had
found a way to dispense with this Of
flcer's services. 1t was done cleverly
and smoothly; the man never sus-
pected the real reason why he was re-
leased.
Tho head of the concern had over
heard his remark. We want no men
in this business whose ambition is sat-
isfled,' he said. When q man is sat-
isfied, when he ceases to plan and
fight for the future, we begin to lose
money on him." July Woman's

TENTH EPISODE
THE LIVING DEAD

"Tm opposed to your plan. sir, =
Enoch Golden declared with heat, "and
always will be opposed to it,"
David Manley, as he stared across
the table at the ruffled old millionaire
tried to control himself to patience.
But you acknowledge that you are
equally opposed to Legar's intrusions
into this house, to having his secret
agents planted about at your elbows
But when / work out plan that offers
a reasonable promise of trapping LIE
gar and his men. you stop the whole
business by declaring it's lacking in
dignity"
Dignity is something which depart
ed from this house the day Legar first
forced his way into it," was Golden's
bitter retort.
Precisely" cried young Manley.
Ellis whole campaign has been one Of
intimidation, OF threats and assaults
and reprsals. They have been try
ing to fight us with terror. So my
contention is, why not give them a
dose Of their medicine? Why not
fight them with their own weapons,
and in doing so, perhaps go them one
better?"
But l can only repeat my convic-
tions that your plan can't succeed"
protested the tremulous-voiced old
financier.
Why not leave that to me?" cut in
young Marley, with his first touch Of
Impotence.
I've left good many things to you,
Davy; but | don't encourage men to
plan their own funerals"
"Yet I've thought this out, sir, and
I maintain that it's worth try. You
know as we'll as ] do that these men
who work with Legar are an ignorant
and illiterate lot. They're not afraid
OF force But when you confront them
with the supernatural, you get them
face to face with something they can't
understand. And what they can't I'M
derstand they are going to be afraid
of"
And you think you're going to
frighten EN- away with casket!"
I'm going to make them believe that
David Marley, having departed this
life because of an attack on his per-
son by one Mauki, with poisoned ar.
rows, is about to be duly inferred in
the Golden mausoleum, and"
But you couldn't even get q wax
figure that would fool five-year-old
child! You couldn't"
I've already got the figure, inter-
rupted Manley. And 1t strikes ME as
being an exceptionally perfect one"
But what's all this funeral business
to lead to?" demanded the old finan-
cier.
1T leads to the fact that Legar and
his men will be duly informed of my
death, for l want all the servants in
this house to pass before the casket
and see me in it. And Legar's spy
will be- one of them. So Legar, you
may be sure, will get the facts as soon
as they are known. He will be tipped
of as to the day and hour Of the
funeral. He will also be told that the
cortege, say OF three carriages. is to
proceed to the Golden mausoleum. and
that Margery Golden is to 90 In one
Of the carriages. And that lonely spot |
will strike him as precisely the right
spot for making coup"
