THE PR1ss or THE

BEAR TRAPS FOR REVENUE
(World, New oYrk).

3
The use of bear traps by Alabama
is new kind of strategy in an old
form OF warfare. Spring traps to
catch trespassers are time honored
device in England. now forbidden by
law except that householders may set
such traps on their premises between
shutdown and sunrise. An exciting
episode in one of Thomas Hardy's
novels involves the use OF a man trap
to cripple rival in love.
Perhaps a strain of English ances-
try in Alabama moonshiners ac-
counts for the adaptation of the bear
trap to this defensive use. But the
fact is of less interest as ami illustra-
ton of the survival of custom than
as a hint OF future developments in
the irrepressble conflict between
makers OF illicit whisky and govern
ment agents. The passage by both
houses Of congress of the drastic
prohibition enforcement act means
the extension of the warfare into
new fields. With all whisky contra
band and all makers and distributors
of it moonshiners in effect, II Is ap-
parent that the suppression of Illicit

ficials and provoke an increased re-
sistance to the law.

MODERATE CIRCUMSTANCES"
(Tribune. New York;.

(Tribune, New York;.
Out in Chicago, where they have
enough divorces to know something
about the science of happiness and
unhappiness in marriage, two much
experienced judges have delivered
their opinions and advice. They agree
substantially in backing the girl who
comes from family in moderate
circumstances" to make the most
successful wife. The daughter of a
rich household may make good wife
IF properly educated" But the
chances are all against such educa-
ton. Similarly, the poor girl faces
certain handicaps. She Is apt to
marry to escape poverty and she
brings to her job less education and
less interest.
So we reach the dictum that "the
daughter of good mother who con-
ducts her own home, and that means
the girl in moderate circumstances,
makes the best wife," 1t is not an
inspiring phrase, moderate circum-
stances 1t has a fatal sound like
that other killjoy of color and ex-
element and the long shot, the
golden mean" Not from such middle
of the road existence comes the Sc
we're test or the big inspiration to
point the way to vast achievement.
Imagination is hard to grow in a
steam heated, semi -detached cottage
with every comfort and luxury that
can be assembled on a 50-foot lot.

TEN YEARS MORE OF LIFE.

| I'm his address before the American
Mayo of Rochester fame, made def
mite promise of prolongation of life by
medical science Because of his wide
spread reputation and the fact he
stands at the head of his profession,

faith. He promises ten additional
years. DR.. Mayo has not found the
fountain of youth, nor is he champion
ing the grating of glands. Nothing like
that at all.

says have been added to the average
length of life since the close of the
Civil war will mean that Americans
born before the present century is half
over may expect to enjoy a quarter
of a century more of activity and use
fulness than their fathers did when
Lincoln was president.
Certainly that is a boon for which
most people win be more grateful than
for delusive promises of physical i'm
mortality. Like the hymn writer, they
would not live Away" they will be
generally content with the three score
years and ten" of the Psalmist, given
that they retain their faculties and
their vigor unimpaired for that span
Of life. 1t is the prolongation of life
as respects its productive possibilities
that mainly appeals to laymen, and
they will attach more weight to the
assurances of conservative medical in
vestigators than to all the prophets of
perennial youth.

WHAT'S A PoLIcEMAN's LIFE7
(Tribune, Chicago)

A Jury has just voted life impris-
onment for the murderer of q police
man. One of the jurors said the ver-
dict would have been hanging but for
the fact that the slayer Is a cripple.
Thus another example of pity, for the
murderer; no mercy for the muir
dered.
We expect our policemen to guard
us. We expect them to be loyal. But
we do not protect them. When po-
lioeman is killed that's the end of
him. He might have been in another
and safer business and have kept his
life. 1t is fair to assume that he
loved life as well as any man. But
he loses his life while the one who
kills him lives on--goes to prison but
lives. In a few months there Will be
a petition for pardon for the man
who murdered a policeman; and there
is the substantial premium on muir
der.
This is one count for crime. Until
hanging Is the unacceptable penalty
for the killing of policemen we must
expect policemen to be shot down
with impunity. We emphasize I'M
punity," when we reflect that this la
test of police slayers was caught In
the act of stealing chickens. Appar-
emily he considered it less dangerous
to be tried for chicken stealing than
for killing a policeman-Chicago

THE SIBERIAN ISSUE.

THE war department policy to main
tain garrison in Siberia until such
a time as the Russian situation is
cleared and a responsible government
is established, has caused no little
criticism. The critics are of two
classes. Many persons believe that
while this force may be necessary to
protect the stores at Nladiyostok and
as reminder to Japan that America
still maintains an army, it does more
harm than good. They believe it en-
RACES the Bolshevists and disgusts the
anti Bolsheyists, thus accomplishing
nothing toward increasing Russia's re-
spcct for the United States Many
others believe that the force should
be withdrawn because American boys
are forced to remain there against their
will.
There can be no doubt that men
taken into the army to fight Germany
to get home for many months.
On the other hand, how about the
1850 young Americans who have en-
listed in the army in the last nine
months for the specific purpose of go
ing 20 Siberia? These men chose ST.
IBERIA in preference to service on the
I
Rhine, in the Philippines, at home or
any place else. Their voluntary choice
proves that 1t takes more than a fic-
titious popular issue to prevent young
Americans from helping the army to do
what the army says must be done.

legs and around the feet. In emergen-
cies hot bricks or even hot stones can
be used. Great care should be taken
that the patient Is not burnt by these
appliances, however. and they should
be we'll wrapped with towels, oiled
clothing or similar material. and never

The heart is weak, hence stimulants
should be given. The best of those for

The red trousers of the French
army are to be no more. There Is a
political and economical tragedy
about it with which very few people
are familiar. The originator OF the
red trousers was Napoleon, who was
prompted in his reform" by desire
to help the native cultivation OF
madden root--at that time and for
may centuries previously the chief
source of red color throughout the
world-against the Dutch and Italian
rivals As a result the industry ex-
banded considerably, and some 81
years ago was worth nearly $1,000
900 per annum
But then came the Graebe- Liber-
mann discovery of the alizarine dyes,
and In less than 10 years, between
1870 and 1873, the production of mad
der root in France shrank from Is.

peared This was a great German
victory Nevertheless the army trou
sers continued to be dyed red. only
this time the dyes had to be import
ed from Germany! This was certain
ly a great humiliation for the French,
but 1t evidently required a great war
to put an end to It.
