In sharp abuse
OF those who don't agree with me

In my own mind
That with myself don't agree.
So truly
Cannot see why

And both completely satisfied.

ENRIGHT AGAINST CLUBBING.

New York, Jan. 3o.-Overruling ad-
vice of former Police Commissioner
Bugher TO the police that he would
stand behind them in the use OF their
clubs, Mayor Hylan wrote Commits
sioner Enright today that he does
not approve of this method" He
asked the commissioner to investigate
an alleged clubbing in Brooklyn sa-

And victory means lives and means
dollars-think 1t over, Mr.. Congress-
man.
A lawyer who has practiced for
years and years leaned thoughtfully
over the benches the other day while
the Supreme Court was in session.
My God" he said to a reporter
who came up to interrupt his
thoughts, do you realize what a new
outlook this court must have on life
since war came TO our land.
Things that were considered very
proper in the old days OF 1913 and be-
fore are buried. We are living in a
new day of thought Action by the
government may be anything, as
drastic as it was in the days of med
ding monarchs, or as splendidly
democratic as they could have been
thought of by a Populist platform
maker. One never knows quite what
may happen-whether he will be i'm
paled upon the sharp stick Of auto
cratic methods or forced to bow sub
missively to pronounced democratic
doctrine. And a court. though a ju-
dicial body essentially, must interpret
laws as the spirit of the people die
tate. War demands II. The necessi-
ties Of the occasion demand only one
end to all litigation. That is the
governments end. There is no such
thing just now as life, liberty and
pursuit of happiness" by individuals.
1t is the life, liberty and pursuit of
happiness by the nation. Nothing
else Oh, the court Is seeing light 1t
never thought would twinkle before
its members left this old world
II German gold is behind the move
ment of the Bolsheviki in Russia.
then the Germans are accomplishing
these three things to eventually bring
about their own downfall:
First, the inspiration OF German
anti-war propagandists to oppose the
Hohenzollern crusade with more and
more vigor.
Second, encouragement Of the Ger
man soldiers who have been along
the Russian border to learn more
about and think better of the ways
| of democracy.
Third, a general accentuation Of the
| movement Of democracy in all nations
of the world; those allied with us,
| those connected with the central
powers and those that are neutral. ~
The wild, uncultured Bolsheviki
warrior is due yet to have a most
profound influence upon the coming
| of peace. He will not be the only
| factor that brings 1t about, but he
may be one of the principal factors.
Some of the men who are making
history at the present session of Con-
| gress are bound to be left at the pos,
when the fall campaigns roll around.
The strange aspect of many reports
coming to Washington just now is
that the members are going to be con-
sidered for reelection only on their
general merits. and not upon theiI
stand on some of the revolutionary
legislation presented in Congress dur.
ing our war period. Only in those
cases where members were opposed
to war are there likely to be fights
| made on patriotic lines.

Not since that night fifteen years ago when
Caruso made his first appearance as the Duke of
Mantua, has the opera world witnessed such COM
plete triumph, as that accorded Amelita CALI
at the Lexington Theater Monday night when
she made her New York debut in 'Dinoroh."
Thoughts of lost days when the music world
had listened to such wondrous coloratura sopranos
as Sembfich and Tetrazzini were recalled vividly
as this luminary made of prosaic opera a
role than fairly breathed poetry.
Two short years ago the new star was unknown
and unheralded, but she has been gradually taking
the country by storm, and New York in its final
judgment and commentator, is months behind
other cities that have been fortunate enough to
hear in concert this young Italian girl who has
now arrived. Washington long since put its stamp
of approval upon the singer and her New York
triumph more than bears out the Capital praise.
