With Mary l Explore the Delights of Her HoteI-A "Wonder" Place

 Her Hotel-A "Wondern Place
 of Today.
 My talks with Mary took me often to her hotel. The place fascinated me. It was one of the architectural achievements of the century, just as the pyramids were of their time.
 Mary's hotel is one of the largest caravanseries of the world. Its stories count up to the twenties and its guests mount by special express elevators if they room higher than the tenth floor. It contains three enormous dining rooms, cafeteria, a roof garden and a tea room. with special dining rooms. large and small attached to suites of various proportions. Very few persons ever explore the entire hotel Most are content to read the long directory of places posted in the lobby.
 What I like best about the place is the fact that the hot water never gets tepid in, my bathroom and iced drinking water flows from it's special tapl" said Mary and I agreed with her that " hot water is a woman's su- preme test ois a liotei-as it is of the kitchen.

 We admired the shaded electric light placed in the head of the bed, above the pillows, so that one might read or write while resting, or tell the time of the night without getting out of bed.

 Mary didn't try to show me all of her hotel that day. but I noticed that there was a woman at a desk in every hall, woman well educated and of the best manners. It seems that she is a chaperon, general information but reau. and probably private detec-

We couldn't make it out the day that The Republican ran it, and so we clipped it and laid it away, promising ourself. to give it another chance when the weather grew cooler. We stumbled across it in our venerable notebook the other day. and we find that the thing doesn't improve with age. We run it here with the prayer that someone in the audience interpret it for us. Here it is:
 "The worldly hopes men set their
 hearts upon

 To the calloused police reporter tragic death is a tragic death; some thing that is expected as part of the days work. Occasionally, however, the tragedy is emphasized with such a vividness as to stir even a veteran police reporter An example of this comes in the death of life guard at one of the Chicago beaches recently. The guard saw what appeared to be an overturned canoe being tossed by the heavy sea 300 yards from shore. Setting out in his boat to investigate, his craft was capsized and hurled against the concrete breakwater some 200 yards out He swan to the pier but was unable to climb to safety be- cause of the slippery condition of the moss cover piling. The suction of the waves kept drawing him under the water Soon thousands of persons ge- turning from the days work were gathered along the shore apparently helpless to aid the struggling figure clad iA a red jersey suit. Several ex- pert swimmers tried to reach him with life preservers but had to be dragged back to shore exhausted. The U. S. coast guard cutter was summoned but none could get near the man because of the heavy sea. After four hours of fighting against death. the thousands of helpless spectators saw the red clad figure disappear in a gigantic wave.

The Unfortunate Class.

With all the misfortunes of
wage-earners, in a period when
prices outstrip wager, it is quite
possible that they are better off
than the salary-workers whom
they used to envy. The woes of
the American "middle-class" are
feelingly set forth in the Manu-
facturers's Record.
There are millions of teachers,
and preachers and clerks, and
others of moderate fixed income
whose salaries or whose income
from investments have not in
creased in proportion to the cost
of living. They are the ones
who are suffering most, but they
are the ones who are doing the
least kicking and complaining.
They are not going on strikes;
they are not threatening to over
turn the government; they are
doing the best they can, often
pinching to the extreme in order
to make ends come together.
These are the people for whom
there should be the greatest
sympathy and for whose welfare
the greatest effort should be
made. They are the uncomplain-
ing sufferers, they are the men
and women who are working
faithfully and honestly in every
avenue of employment from that
of the preacher of the Gospel to
that of the teacher of the young,
the bookkeepers, and the clerks,
and others who are not united in
labor organizations and are not
trying to bulldoze either their
employers or the nation"
A rather typical representa-
tive of this class, a clerk making
$50 a week, remarks that such

crushed between the upper and
neither millstones" of capitalislic
profits and wage demands of

Reckless Speech.

The New York World makes
this accurate summary of the de-
bates upon the peace treaty in
the United States Senate:
Day after day in the Senate
the Allies with whom the United
States was associated in a VIC
torious war are attacked as
scheming scoundrels and conspir-
ing enemies, who are plotting to
destroy the independence and
sovereignty of this nation
Amendments are proposed to the
treaty which, if adopted, could
only SOW the seeds of war be-
tween the United States and gov
ernments which a year ago the
United States was fighting with
all its strength to save.
This is in no way an overstate-
ment. For the last thirty days
Senator Borah has been attacking
England, Senator Knox has been
attacking France, Senator John
son has been attacking Japan,
and Senator Lodge has been at
lacking England, France and
Japan in a fashion that would
have been thought unwise as d.
rected against Germany while
the war was in full swing. And
the most striking feature in the
diatribes of these Republican
Senators is their responsibility
We all know that 1.-THE man or
