In talking to a number of business
men today we were told repeatedly,
business is good"-and all indica-
lions point to the truth of the asser-
ton. The only ones who seem to
have any reason to talk about dull
business are the doctors and the un-
dertakers. Lakeland is too healthy
for them to prosper Just now.

One of the worlds richest men has
passed away-Andrew Carnegie;-a
grand old man who never stole pen
ny; who has done more good in this
world than all the reformers put to-
gether who believed in giving and not
talking.
Manicurists seldom play cards yet
it S sure thing they would hold good
bands.
And they have such soft touch !;
that is, after they have cut an inch
into the cuticle.
Before marriage she was his
"Ducky,'' and after she had to do
some ducking.
Wouldn't it be a great thing when
we came into the world if we could
just pick each member of our body to
suit our tastes, for instance, the kind
OF eyes we desired, ears, hair or
teeth. What kind of nose would
you pick?
And now the actors are striking;
but not for more money. With their
press agents talking about the million
dollars year the star is getting it
would seem funny for the actor to
strike for more money, but It will
come to that.

The Mexican situation has reached

TRAGEDIES OF PEACE
lFrom The Indianapolis starr

(From The indianapolis starr
When a family lost son in the
war, "a wave of sympathy went out
to the bereaved ones from the entire
community. Everyone seemed to
share with especial keeness some
thing of the bitterness of the grief
felt by the parents and the brothers
and sisters. When two sons were
lost, as rot infrequently happened, or
even three, it was recognized as a
tragedy almost too terrible to be
borne.
/ Such losses occur ali around us in
time of peace, but do we look upon
them with the same realization that
hearts are broken and lives darkened
because of them, which follows the
death of young soldier? Or do we
stolidly turn away from the tale with
the passing thought that too many ac-
cidents take place, and it is a pity,
and go on to the reading Of other
news? 1t seems a little as if we
show too much Indifference to the
tragedies of life which are really in
many respects more narrowing and
more pitiful than the fatalities of
war.
In the news columns day or so
ago was a brief account of an auto
mobile accident in which three sons
of one family were instantly killed
and a fourth, lad of six, perhaps
fatally injured. They were the sons
of farmer going in new automo-
bile to the nearest village for a farm
tool. The eldest of the four, still a
boy, was driving, and he did not see
the coming interurban until he was
on the track 1t is easy to under
stand that the younger boys had ac-
companied him for the sake of the
ride and that the driver did not know
as much as he should. But they
were all happy, and nothing was
farther from their thoughts than dan
| ger a moment before death.
Is not the tragedy in that family
even greater than when such loss
comes in battle? In the latter case
it has been thought Of as a POSSIBLE
ity by those left at home and when
it comes there is the comforting re
Election that the soldier fell in the
performance of great and noble
duty. In the fatal motor car acci
dent, what philosophy can enable the
survivors to reconcile themselves tC
their awful bereavement?
There was the upset of a boat or
a pond at boys camp in Massachu
sets last week, with twelve boys
drowned-happy boys, having the
} time of their lives" suddenly taker
out of life. These things happen al
around us. Two farmers of families
go far an outing, and, wading in the
water, needless as children, step in
to adeep hole and are drowned. Al
airplane, seemingly safe, suddenly
drops from the sky and an aviator
hero of hundred fights, will fly ne
! more. A dirigible falls and kills Of
mangles scores. A motor car, swerv
ing slightly, goes over bank and &
/ passenger is killed. The fatal casu
alties of peace are many-alas, too
many, but does the public mind them
! Is it not too we'll used to them, its
heart too much hardened to think O.
remedies? But of one thing people
who have not so suffered may res
assured-these accidents of peace
leave wounds in mourning hearts tina
rare never healed.

COURT CRITICS IDEA
WRONG, SAYS JUDGE
Brown Asserts LederIe's Views
of Juvenile Tribunal Based
on Misconception
VISITOR STANDS BY GUNS

Criticism Of the Juvenile Court of
this city by Arthur Lederlc was based
on misconception, according to a
statement given from Judge Browns
chambers today.
Mr.. Lederle. who is counsel for the
Detroit school attendance department,
is attending the convention of the
League of Compulsory Education Off :
cials paid flying visit to the Juvenile
Court yesterday. He was vehement in
his criticism of the speed with which
cases were handled the apparent lack
of testimony, and the fact that there
was no trial by jury permitted nor
public attendance.
Mr.. .Lcderle held to his original crit
icism today and said that he admitted
he was in a hurry, but that Judge
Brown seemed to be in more Of a
hurry.
81 think that every child has soul
like anybody else," said Mr.. Ledere,
"and when see them handled in such
manner as i saw yesterday it hurts
me-" He said that il Judge Brown
were regarded MS Philadelphia Ben
Lindsay, the latter had better look to
his reputation.
Judge Browns reply was issued
through a representative. can abstract
of every case is read as the case is
brought up, and furthermore, COM
plete record is in the hands of the judge
for consultation. The court records
would show that testimony was given
in every case" Judge Brown asserts.
A representative of the Philadelphia
court said public hearings were con-
demned as disapproved by all Juvenile
the policy of this court to exclude all
except those interested in the cases.
The local court, he explained, followed
the practice of Juvenile courts in Chi
cago, New York, Washington and Den

the failure of Mr.. Wilson's administra
tion of the war and proposed a wal

War? What do you mean? And the
conspirators who surround Wilson

very moment when the Senate was crit =

The treaty? Who is in n hurry

Its cure the rest cure. Many people
ought to take it. Imagine the Senate

This morning there was only one

Mr.. Wilson, rather sentimental friend
of his. 1t was, "Fall was very dc

precedents by using that same indeli

business, signing pardon warrants with
it and using it on bill to increase the
pay of the police in the District OF

Washington, Dec. Gas "Cervantes
laughed SPANS chivalry away" Pres
ident Wilson laughed away the Senate
and its pretensions to being the only
thing that stood between the nation
and ruin.
The President cleared the air with his
little joke by certain senator's being
'reassured even though somewhat dis
appointed. The Senate Is reassured,
even IL somewhat staggered. to find
there was nothing in it's theory that
Private Secretary Tumulty was the
real President of the United States.
And it certainly is staggering to go
to the bedside of nervous wreck and
find him the only calm man in the
place.
Here was Wilson broken down, per-
haps crazy, something more, perhaps
paralyzed, clearly incompetent and at
the very least nervously all unstrung,
while the nation stood on the very brink
of war. Who would conduct this war,
when the head of the nation upon his
bed. his hand withered and his brain
clouded, merely signing with his left
hand papers pushed at him by con-
spirators, who were keeping the country
in the dark about the real headlessness
of its government? Who indeed but the
Senate?
What DO You Know About That?
Why, Secretary Lansing had not seen
the President in fourteen weeks? What
do you know about TINT? And with war
only few days away.
But was war only few days away
Well, bring it bit nearer or make

Efforts to free Emma Goldman and
Alexander Bcrkman from Ellis Island
on bail will be made Monday, if their
writs of habeas- corpus are dismissed
by Federal Judge Mayer, their counsel,
Harry Weinberger, announced today.
While both his clients are ready to go
to soviet Russia, if permitted to pay
their own expenses and select their own
method of going, Weinberger said they
have authorized him to carry to the
United States Supreme Court, if neces-
sary, his efforts to prove that their
deportation would be illegal.
"They do not want to be kicked out
Of the country in steerage," he said.
Weinberger was hopeful that Federal
Judge Hands release in $1,000 bail of
Lyman Lachowsky, who had been or
dered deported. would be a precedent in
the Berkman Goldman cases.
