THE MARK OF SUPERIORITY
Boston Capitalist)

DR.. c. j. Hexamer of PHILADELPHIA
president of the German-American al
lance, who has been touring in Wis
consin, lecturing on the German de-
mands, declares that the German
American hyphen indicates superiority
over the plain American.
When I founded the German Am
erican alliance" he says, Il did it be-
cause | think no nation is better oual-
lied to aid the United States and to
teach 1T so many thousand things.
tnan the German speaking people. We
want to be proud of our hyphen. to
have our children inherit it as a mark
of superiority"
DIR, Hexamer is so proud of himself
that he does not realize the insolence
OF his claims. Wouldn't it be some
thing lovely If the German military
machine should come over here and
teach us the thousand things we
should know and particularly the wor-
ship OF the Hohenzollern kaiser with
one God in heaven and one Gods kali
ser on earth. Is it to be wondered at
that the nations of the earth do not
bow in submission to this modern
Mahomet with his sword for the m
believers?

The shameless conduct of n few
Spokane lawyers in harrasslng the be-
reaved dependents of the victims OF
the recent Division street bridge dis
aster for the purpose of starting dam
age suits against the city before their
loved ones had been consigned to the
earth has furnished a rare theme for
the gifted editorial talent of our es-
teemed morning contemporary. Not
alone columns but pages have been
devoted to the condemnation of an oct
upon which there is no division of
opinion, and the subject is discussed
in manner that suggests other mo-
tives than those which would be ex-
pected in a daily newspaper occupying
a high moral plane and actuated by a
desire to raise the ethical standard of
the legal profession. Not content with
u sweeping condemnation of the legal
profession of Spokane and the citi-
zenry of that city in general, the Day
daily attributes ghoulish methods to
attorneys nearer home, having in
mind presumably certain attorneys
who have been successful in securing
favorable verdicts in personal injury

INSTINCT OF BLAckBIRps.
ro'son Young Rather Than Leave
Them in Captivity.
liverpool Post)

While residing in the country some
| years ago, and walking out one even
lhg' l found nest of young black
bros. The young birds were almost
fiedged. Taking them home with me,
put them in a cage, and the next
morning hung them out under a tree;
ana IN about an hour l saw the old
plrds at the cage, evidently delighted
to find their young. The old birds
came regularly every two hours and
fed them with worms and grubs This
continued for two days, the old birds
trying all In their power to get the
young ones out. On the third day /
noticed the old birds bring a berry,
which they gave to the young ones,
two of whom died that evening and
the rest the next day. The old birds
then left off coming. The berries on
examination proved to be the seeds of
the Atropa belladonna or deadly night
shade. This convinced me of what I
had heard about these birds destroy
ing their young If allowed to feed
them in Imprisonment. l am told that
other birds have the same instinct.
