Chivalry Not a Lost Trait.

Out OF the sordid murk Of the criminal courts
CLEANS ray Of light that is comforting, if not
encouraging. The Douglas county prosecutor, COM
menting on verdict that freed a woman from a
charge OF MURDER in face OF quite convincing evil
dence tending to show her guilt, said It is impossi-
Bile to secure the conviction Of woman on capt.
tai charge He ascribed this to the innate tendency
Of man to shield the woman under any circum-
stances. In at least two OF the blackmail cases
being investigated by the federal authorities at
Chicago 1t has been established that the male
victims paid that they might shield their female
companions, not knowing that the sirens had
been set Upon them Intentionally to work their
downfall. And now the husband OF the second
woman in q triangle" case in Philadelphia,
watches by her bedside in hospital, and pro-
tests his faith in her innocence
Man may no longer be as deferentia to his
sister as once he was, when life held more OF
ceremony and less of hustle, but these instances
show him to hold yet some lingering trace Of
consideration for her. Generally, he is inclined
to accept her at her own valuation Of herself, to
look upon her as his companion as well as his
helpmeet: willing enough to shelter and protect
her, and equally willing to compete with her ii
she elects to enter the lists in which the battles
Of life are fought out. She Is still secure in her
privileges and quite as energetic in pursuit OF
her rights. That this is so is another proof that
chivalry is not lost trait.

Work Ahead for Defense Leagues.

One OF the results Of the mobilization of the
militia OF the country and its summer at Texas
training camps is yet to be determined Troops
now being returned to the states where they en-
listed arc being mustered out of the service OF the
United States. This automatically returns them
to the status of National Guards. What will be
the effect Of the weeks they spent in camp on the
border' Theoretically, it should be good, for Off
GERS and men alike have had opportunity for
training not possible, even under the best Of con-
dtions, at home They should have learned the
rudimcnts Of the profession Of arms. at least, the
mnutae of camp routine some bits Of knowledge
Of grand tactics and the relation Of smaller to
larger groups in military operations. Aside from
this necessarily fragmcntary knowledge what have
they learned!
The Guardsmen should have been taught that
the country has the first claim on its citizens;
that our institutions can not exist unless by the
combined support of all the people, and that the
man who is not willing to fight for the mainte-
nance Of the rights and privileges of American
citizenship does not deserve to have them. If
these lessons have been taught, the mobilization
has had some good effect and the returned
Guardsmen are coming home as exemplars of
great principles that have been much obscured by
the overgrowth Of peace
Other lessons have been taught the country.
How unready we were as nation to face a real
crisis has been driven in to the very quick, and
we will be inviting our fate il we do not profit by
what we have experienced since that Sunday in
June when the president suddenly issued the call
to arms. 1t will, be sad beyond shame II the

making in Omaha, for 1t is to be signalized by
the entrance of Ak-Sar-Ben, twenty-second OF his

made preparations for giving welcome to multi
tudes who will participate as interested spectators

these Is pledged safety and comfort, and whatever
Of enjoyment unstinted hospitality and rational
advertisement can provide.

president Of the United States with the honor due
his high place, and all visitors with such warmth
as will make them glad they came. Omaha is

ON THE BORDER.

Ella A. flaming. in New York Times
Where the khaki city rises.
On the dry and dusty plain.
As the Flag breaks out at day-dawn
Sounds the heartening, glad refrain:
For the Star-5pangled Banner
In Triumph doth wave"
Where the cactus and the sage brush
In the blistering sun-rays grow,
To the troopers massed at noontide
Echoes tenderly and low:
I'VE will sing one song
For the old Kentucky homer
Where no cooling breeze comes waiting
To the wounded their relief,
still there's balm and JOY consoline
In the snatch of sweetness brief;
Thy banner makes tyranny, tremble,
Three cheers for the Red, White and
Blue"
Where grim death each hour Is lurking,
And the dangers none may know,
There's the spur to noble purpose
In the strains. majestic, slow;
LAS He died to- make men holy
Let us die to make men free
our God Is marching orr
Where the hardships and privatious
Weigh the soul with dark despair.
Courage like a sunbeam sudden
Is renewed, as rings the air:
Yankee Doodle, keep 1t up,
Yankee Doodle Dandy;
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy
Where the evening shadows gather.
And the thoughts are far away.
Tears will start-but not for danger
At the cadence, lightsome, gay:
Though Spanish eyes are thrilling, still
Their charm 1t fails to bind me;
And my heart goes back to Erins Isle,
And the girl left behind mel"

valuation.
Sioux City taxpayers next year will dig
up a total Of $l.575.ooo for state. county.

this sum breaks all records in the history
Of the city" and is due to large increases In
the taxable value of property.
Sioux City coal dealers have organized a
credit association for the purpose Of speed
ing up slow pay customers and shutting
down on deadhead business. A customer who
gets on the blacklist must produce the cash
when he or she switches patronage.
Unusual vigilance due to the shark scare
puts Atlantic City's beach bathing record on

drowned there during the season. though the
daily bathing crowds numbered 10000 to
$4,000 people.

care how the dollar comes so It arrives. A
fraternal insurance association 10 suing for
the recovery Of $500 paid out on the reported
death of man who Is very much alive and

The similarity Of the names Of two insured

lapsed facilitated the game.
Chicago derived revenue Of s5.22s,669
in 1915 from the use of its streets and
alleys. New York collects less than half
that sum. The major part of the revenue
comes from street, elevated and steam roads
for the use of the streets in transporting
passengers and freight and from franchise
corporations. A tidy sum Is scooped in as
rent for projecting bay windows. coal holes,
sidewalk space. private wires and conduits,
and for use Of part Of streets during con-
struction Of buildings.
