IS IT NEWS?

/ A portrait of a woman has appeared Of late
/ in certain of the Chicago newspapers She is a
woman of no particular spiritual, intellectual or
/ social consequence whose face and name were
unknown to most people, and the fact that she
was in existence news to them. She has sought
and secured the notoriety she covets by put
/ ting two little alligators, four or five inches
long upon her shoulders, tying them to her
with strings and calling them her pets. These
little saurians are harmless creatures, at their
present age of month or Whereabouts, and are
as interesting in their way and about as attrac-
tive in their physiognomies as the woman who
wears them; but this is such an open bid for
notoriety, so palpable, so undisguised, so in
susceptible Of any other explanation as to raise
some questions.
In the first place, is it news7 Is it a matter
of public interest if person does some unusual,
inconsequential thing for the purpose OF break
ing into the public printsf IT, for example, a
woman wears one black shoe and one white
shoe on the street for other purpose than to
attract attention, has she thus earned the
right to have her name, her act and her picture
given wide publicity? Is the feet Of such in
terest or Importance that newspaper pub
lished for serious minded people of some educa-
ton can make leading feature of it without
insulting the intelligence of its readers7
The world is full of people nowadays to whom
notoriety is so dear that they set about deliber-
ately to achieve it. We are not criticising
them They are what they are and nothing
different can be expected of them. But the
question is if the reading public, or any large
part of it, has so deteriorated as to make child
ish or senseless doings matters of news; and II
IA newspaper can profitably or properly cater
to or help to cultivate in its clientele taste OF
liberation for such trivial things?

IS 1T A GoIDBRICK?

w. B. Flanders of Massachusetts, was rail-
road engineer for thirty years and state off
cial of the brotherhood. In his opinion the
trainmen are likely to lose more by the Adam
son law than they can gain. 1t is not an eight
hour law says Mr. Flanders. No familiar
with railroad service expects to see one hour
cut from railroad man s working time. The
law simply compels the roads to pay ten-hour
wage for eight hours of work until commits
sion to look into the question shall have re-
ported. These commissioners, not yet ap-
pointed, may recommend an eight-h hour wage
for an eight-hour day, and the roads may insist
on eight hours service from every man who
draws the full day wages
This would be bitter blow for the train
men; for whereas all of them who now work
overtime get r-time pay, hosts of them get
4 full pay for half or two-thirds time On fast
trains, for example, between New York and
Chicago, engine crews sometimes changed
four or five times in twenty hours, but all OF
them draw their eight hours pay
( is not impossible. as Mr.. Flanders appre
hends, that the Adamson law may work out il
a manner to surprise the trainnnen and tina
they may find in the end that they have a gold
brick on their hands.

TEN BODIES
ARE FOUND
Six Firemen Killed and Eight In
jured in Christian Brothers
College Fire.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
ST. LOUIS, Mo, Oct. 6.-With ten
bodies found. officials today were
satisfied there would be no larger
death toll from the fire which yester.
day destroyed the historic Christian
Brothers college.
Two rigid investigations were on
today to fix the blame for sending a
squad of firemen into the ruins, but
a few hours after the fire was under
control.
Six firemen were killed and eight
injured, two perhaps fatally when a
wall collapsed. Chief Henderson
was not on the scene when the wall
fell and he will be called to testify
before the coroner whether he left
orders to enter the building.

NEW YoRK's STRIKE WOES,

What threatened to develop into general
strike seriously hindering if not paralyzing all
industry in New York City has slumped into
harmless nothingness. The strike leaders, who
at one time talked of calling out half a million
men and women, now admit their failure.
Thus the people of New York City escape a
terrible Injustice and trades unionism escapes
a black eye. Had the general strike plan been
successful the traction strike might have been
won, but the cost to organized labor would
have been dear. This threatened walkout was
the broadcast application of the sympathetic
strike made in this country
Even brewery workers and printers were in

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

II Burlington Hawk-Eye: Iowa is not
i preaching he back to the soil
movement very earnestly. She has
a better scheme. BY means of corn
clubs, pig clubs. baby beef clubs. seed
corn testing, stock judging contests
and similar means, she Is inducing
the lads and lasses to stay on the
farm. That beats bringing people to
the farm, who never have farmed.
and most of whom will not make a
success of it.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: 1t appears
that Americans will invest $50, 000,0 900
in Chinese railroad which will be
under American supervision. News
paper men and politicians who feared
that the Chinese door might be
closed before they could place their
money on Chinese investments
should be assured by the foregoing
news.
Marshalltown 1'imes-Republican
1nirty-eight people were killed in
auto accidents in Iowa during May
and June. July isn't in yet, but it
will probably match the record of
twenty-three killed in June. Typhoid
fever took toll of ten in May. In
other words the auto is more fatal
disease than typhoid in this state.
Burlington Gazette: An English girl
has offered to give one of her eyes
to any soldier if it will be the means
of saving him from blindness. She
varies the process somewhat, as
most girls are decidedly prone to
making eyes at soldiers
Des Moines Capital: The defeat of
Attorney General Wescott for the
democratic senatorial nomination n
New Jersey, President Wilson's home
state, is just cause for jubilation in
republican quarters. Judge Wescott
was the choice of the president. He
twice placed the president in nomi-
nation before the national convention
at the latter's request.
Davenport Democrat: The south is
becoming quite worried about its
labor supply owing to so many
negroes moving north. The cutting
down of immigration by the war and
the return Of many foreigners to
their native countries has created a
labor shortage that has resulted in
thousands OF negroes seeking the
larger wages that are paid in con-
tract work up this way. Just how
well they can stand prosperity re-
mains to be seen.
Des Moines Capital: President Will
son thinks he has accomplished Won
ders in the direction of aiding Ameri-
can business. He brags about the
federal reserve banking system which
originated with the late Senator AL
drich and which is more Of a repub-
| lican than a democratic measure,
But the federal reserve banking sys-
! tenn is on trial. The government
compelled the bankers to put up the
capital stock just as the government
compelled the railroads to serve the
/ parcels post system without extra
I pay. The profit of the federal re-
serve banking system at the present
i time is stage money" 1t Is iInagina-
tive. 1t is the work of the book
keepers.

KING OR VAssAL?

King Constantine Of Greece is in a situa-
ton so deplorable as to excite sympathy even
among his foes. With sister of Emperor
William for his queen and with publicist OF
the ability and popularity of Yenizelos as his
foe in national policies, the king had need of
firm adroitness from the first, and this he has
evidently lacked. He began with considerable
loyal strength to support him in his avowed
neutrality, but this he rapidly lost and he
seems now almost without friends. Moreover,
it must be humiliating fact for him to face
that the revolution which has raised its ban
ners does not make his dethronement part o t
its propaganda. Its leaders declare that his
monarchy is of little consequence when he
ceases to be an obstructionist. The one thing
that Constantine has shown himself fitted to do
is to lead troops in active service campaigning
He was driven to do this ally of the en-
tente powers but it is with little prestige-for
The may be forced to the front as a monarch
Idriven thither by his people.

measurement, cutting the diamond and fold
ing it over in the center, or by any other means
which the ingenuity OF contestants may suggest
Provided the one simple rule is complied with
that the lines describing each diamond be OF the
same length, the lines in the chart may be used as
often as desired in forming different combinations,
each combination constituting individual da-
mond. Every possible combination therefore,
testants may avail themselves of to form diamonds

is permissible. No alterations in the lines, however
as they appear in the chart be made, such
extending crasing them

ton waits only upon the issuance OF the
mandate by the high court directing the
marshal TO take him into custody and
escort him to prison.
Lamar is now at liberty on bail. The
mandate usually issues thirty days after
