The Livingston Girl is a Boy

In our last issue our society editor
in mentioning the important happen
ings of the week stated that hand
some baby girl had been born to DR..
and Mrs. Livingston. Either the wish
was father to the thought or he got
his wires crossed, the facts of the mat
ter are that said alleged girl was in
reality a boy--a big fine healthy,
hearty chap, tipping the scales at
about ten pounds and the good Doctor
has already planned fishing trip to
the Wisconsin lakes especially for the
lads benefit this summer when he
hopes to- teach him the mystic art of
casting for the festive trout.

Not Sunny Jim.'

One of the auto sleuths sent here
from Bismarck by the state depart
ment bears cognomen familiar to
most of our readers and as conse-
quence has led to many an unjust
criticism Of our advertising manager,
J. r. Falconer. The Bismarck sleuth's
name including the initials are iden--
teal and the embarrassment caused
"Sunny Jim" by reason of his being
mistaken for one of Langer's men is
more than his genial disposition can
withstand. The Bismarck Falconer
is aafine fellow and perhaps in time he
wifi be able to ameliorate Sunny
jim" and in all probability the two
will become fast friends and mayhap
discover that they are kin.

selves 40 Useful Citizens OF the
Republic.

Washington.-Now that our troops
have begun to actually take part In
the great war, great problem will
soon have to be faced. It will soon
have to be faced. It will have to do
with the re-education of disabled sol.
diers. It will not be enough for the
government to place those who are
permanently disabled in soldiers
homes and allow them to complete
their existence in material comfort,
but those who are partially disabled
10 as to make them unable to return
b the occupations and trades which
they left to serve their country will
have to be re-educated in some employ.
ment which will enable them to reha.
bilitate themselves as useful citizens Of
the republic.
Although the plans have not pro.
crossed enough to make formal
announcement of their scope, 1t 10
known that the war department,
the surgeon generals Office, is working
on the theory that the re-educatior
must commence in the hospital while
the patient Is convalescent.
The government will probably fol.
low closely the plans Of the Canadian
government, which Is to continue its
military control over the badly
wounded until q competent board con.
dsting of officers, doctors and lay
men pronounce the re-education COM
plete and the soldier ready for new
endeavOrs.
According to accepted theories, the
unemployment of the faculties begins
In the hospital bed with games and
puzzles which excite the interest and
take the mind off misfortunes. The
badly MANNED often lose courage and
hope, and have often after previous
wars insisted upon being supported by
the government in soldiers homes
without effort on their own behalf.

CONQUEST AND KULTUR

From all this 1t appears that
the Monroe doctrine cannot be
justified. So 1t remains
only what we Europeans have
described as an inspiration. And
80 it remains only what we Eu-
ropeans almost universally con-
slider it, an impertinence. With
a noisy cry they try to make an
impression on the world and
succeed, especially with the stu
pid. The inviolability Of the
American soil is invoked with
out there being at hand the
slightest means Of warding off
the attack Of q respectable Eu-
ropean power.-Johannes VOL
