PRUSSIANS MUST PAY THE PRICE

From "Prussian Frightfulness and the
 Savage Mind," By Louis H. Gray, in the
 March Scribner.
 NONVINCED in greed and born in K crime, nurtured in cruelty and
 grown great in robbery, this hid- eous and incongrous hybrid of Roman and German, of Slav and Mongol, has flourished like the green bay tree. But on it's heart has ever been the worm whose name is Fear; and Fear, whereby 1t thought to rule the world, is become it's Nemesis
 The Prussian has sinned, deliberately, consciously, and scientifically. His sin has brought him worldly gain, and were it not for fear be would be well con tent. But sin is bought for a price, and that price is moral death--it is damna- ton both in this world and in the world to come, unless there be true repentance and all possible reparation. For worldly gain the Prussan has stunted his own soul We have seen what he is ethnolo- gically and historically. Ethically he is a moral imbecile. an arrested develop ment, a savage in civilizations garb. and even the barb he has stolen Like the savage, he is boastful and cunning. Among the nations he is precisely what the type of morally imbecile but intel

NAME THAT PAPER!

From the Louisville Courier-Journai. 6T1HERE is some entertaining reading in the deposition of President
 Milton H. Smith, of the Louisville and Nashville railroad filed before the interstate commerce commission and made public yesterday.
 In the report of MT. Smiths disclosures the Courier-J Journal notes this para graph
 "On May 5, 1907, voucher for sl5,oOo was issued in favor of the National Bank of Commerce. and MT. Smith de- clared in his affidavit this was for the aid of newspaper which was advocat- ing certain views upon public questions in which the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company concurred. D
 MT. Smith has always been very taciturn man. and as a railway official he has never talked without having something to say. while he has gener- ally been adverse to talking even when he might. if he would, have much to say. He was averse to talking about the mat ters included in this deposition and would never have talked about them but

leotually educated criminal is among in- dividuals. If this were all we might for give, though for the welfare of society the imbecile must be segregated from the sane But the peculiar horror of his iniquity is that the imbecility is volun- tary and self-induced. There is sin unto death'-so writes Saint John, the be- loved disciple, who had leaned on the Masters boson-.I do not say that he shall pray for it."
 From the wider point of view this war is but an episode in the age-long struggle between good and evil, between God and the devil. The end was fore seen almost 2000 years ago by the seer on finely Patmos. By reason of our hu- man limitations we must battle with earthly weapons against the hosts of evil, and must labor for our salvation. It is meet and right so to do, else we could scarce retain our self-respect; but the Cross of Saint George, floating over the Holy City, redeemed at last from the unbeliever is to us sign and symbol of what shall soon come to pass. if only we be constant and perform our share of the divine covenant Sursum corda---

for the sinsistences of the commissions backed by the supreme court.
 But even when he does consent to talk he does not free himself wholly from his characteristic reserve. When MT Smith talks he is a very interesting man, but he is rarely as interesting as he might be. The paragraph above quoted, for instance, is an interesting paragraphs but it is not as Interesting as it would have been if Mir Smith had been some what less reserved; if he had been trifle more definite; if, in short, he had given the name of the newspaper in whose favor that voucher for sl5,OO0 was issued.
 Will not MT. Smith supply this omis- sion? Does he not think it fair that he should do so? Readers of his deposition will be curious as to the identity of the newspaper that got that voucher, ai- though in taking the deposition Mir Folk queer as it may seem, was not curious enough to ask the newspapers name. Many will make their own guesses as to what newspaper it was and most of them will guess wrong. It would be simple fairness to other news papers that MT. Smith should name the newspaper which was the recipient of that $15000.

THE DEsPIsED TABLE D,HorE

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Why should the table d'hote be at-
 tackled in the name of food conserva-
 ton? The food administration for Rhode
 Island has persuaded four of the lead
 ing hotels of Providence to abandon it
 on the ground that there is waste when
 some dish is served that the guest does
 not want. But this is a specious objec- tion. In dinner arranged to suit the
 many there are inevitably courses that do not suit the few. The actual waste in such cases, however. is much less than that which attends la carte or dcring. where portions. even if reduced, are larger than at the table dhote. If the guests's pocketbook be considered, if money is to be saved as well as food. the course dinner at a fixed price should be encouraged, not discoura ged. | It Is arranged to meet the average ap- petite. 1t offers n variety of dishes at a price much less than the plainest of meals can be obtained la carte, and lin many cases 1t uses materials which jotherwise would be wasted. The Amer lican people ought to save food. they ought not to live luxuriously. but cutting Tout cheap and convenient methods of 1 serving meals will not accomplish either ] purpose. &

NEGROES WITH IRISH BRoGUE

From the Wilmington (Del) Star.
 Southward and westward from our newly acquired Virgin Islands lies the British possession of Montserrat--a bit of tropic land set in a blue sea. Mont serrat is remarkable for possessing 2 negro population that speaks with 2 marked Irish accent, the result of de- portations of Irishmen to this remote islet more than century ago. Al- though you can see nothing remotely re- sembling son of the Emerald Isle in Montserrat, today, your ear can still catch a touch of the brogue in the pe- culiar dialect of the place, and many of the names are Irish pure and simple such as o'Hara and Hogan and Ryan; there is even village of Kinsale.

TO AN OLD SPORT

From the Louisville Courier-JournaI says the Nashville Banner: "When the Kentucky legislature voted to ratifv the nation-w wide prohibition amendment and to submit a state wide prohibition refer
 endum to the people, our old and es- teemed friend, the Courier-Journal, l, gasped; Is there any more democrac cy at Frankfort than there is at PotsdamY 7, There is, Marse Henry, there is. Times
 nave changed to the extent that men interpret democracy to mean freedom to think, speak and act within bounds that carry safety first to the individual. We
 have as much right by all democratic | tokens to bar murderous and degrading drugs and liquors from our nation as
 to build up barriers of bayonets and walls of steel armament to keep out the invading Teutons"

Great Tenor Passes
 Forty-Fifth Milestone

t7FHE other day Enrico Caruso H rounded out his forty-fifth year. As the singer told New York Sun reporter, he did not give a party to his friends. "Ah, how could give party?. he said. q should have to invite all my friends, and where could one give party for all New York ?" However, there was little celebra- tion attended by some of his most intimate friends, while telegrams and letters of congratulation came from everywhere.
 A thrice-favored mortal is Caruso. The gift of divine voice has lifted him from the kitchen to the topmost pinnacle of fame, yet has left him unspoiled. He came to the Metropoli- tan when about 30 years old and it has been many years since he was conceded to be the worlds greatest tenor. So secure is his fame that Ca- ruso is above professional jealousy. It may be that, or it may be the na- tural kindliness of the man, for he has given encouragement, advice and more substantial aid to aspiring singers and the "tempests in tea pot" which frequently throw that lit tie world behind the footlights into an uproar have passed him by unruffled. It is always fair weather with Ca fuso. He is popular not only among his associates, but among people in { Ill walks of life who know him, a popularity created by the man him. self, apart from his glorious art Many are the stories told of Caruso's boyish pranks and his generosity Nearly all of them are true.
 Caruso has given large sums to the Italian cause, in addition to $10O,- poo, the proceeds of his South Ameri can concerts, distributed among wal charities last summer. He paid hi. Income tax of $59,000 long before il was due, "because if anything hap pens to me the government will have the money that belongs to it." He hal < one son in the Italian army and an other in military school.
 Artist and man, Caruso has don. much to make life more tolerable ant more enjoyable. The photograph ha carried his matchless voice to mil < lions.
