GET A HEROIC IDEA.

Kansas City Star: Nurses dropped
from fatigue around the operating
tables, but complaints were almost
never heard" says Miss Julia G. Slim
son, who headed the nursing service
abroad during the war.
For nurses to work fourteen to
eighteen hours day for weeks was
not at all uncommon, and in one hos
pital there were 5000 patients and
only seventy nurses, Miss Stimson
says further. Yet complaints were
almost never heard.
What lesson for complaining hui
manity! After all, when one comes to
think Of it, the little things only are
the source of most Of the fret and
fever OF existence A woman who
shudders at the talk Of a cut finger

minister untiringly to a soldier torn,
mangled and nigh unto death as a
result Of the merciless combat Of war.

acirI Stable Jad.D

New York Times: One of the few
jobs left essentially for men one would
suppose to be that of stable lad in a
racing stable. But the following ad-
vertisement from an English sporting
paper shows that even this rough and
risky work is likely to be shared by
women In the future:
WANTED-Immediat by young
gentlewoman, post as stable lad or
riding mistress, exerciser; weight
stone; aged II; exceptional exper-
fence and best references. Vivian, la,
Montpelier road. Brighton.
That women are able to master and
train thoroughbreds has been proved
in the past, is the London Daily
Mails comment. The daughters of
Sir Robert Wilmot. Bart. who has a
training establishment near Ascot,
take an active part in the training
operations of horses in their fathers
stable, and regularly ride at exercise
on the flat and over obstacles.
Mrs. F. Darling. wife of the Beck
hampton trainer, carried on" and ac-
tually held the Jockey clubs license
to train while her husband was in ac-
tive service; and Mrs. Tabor, wife of
the EPSON trainer and sister of Percy
Woodland. the steeplechase jockey,
also takes a personal part in training
her husbands horses.

one must first define the American.

Within the last fifty years "Amer1-

aliens born In this contry are re
ferred to as native Americans.
The status of these persons Is that
of citizens OF the United States. They
can no more be Americans than an
Anglo-Saxon naturalized in Italy
could be an Italian, or his Children

There are many races represented

A PLEA FOR RAILWAY INITIATIVE.

Alba b. johnson, president Of the Railway
Business association made an address before
the American Mining congress in St Louis the
other day in which he made some pertinent sug-
gcstions Of what railroad legislation ought to
secure Mr. johnson proposed no definite plan;
he said there had been too many ready-made
plans and too little intelligent discussion Of
what was essential and of how best to get it
without entailing too radical departure from
business principles, and this is true. THE con-
fusion of advice and the unshakable faith Of
each doctor in his own prescription have given
men normally intelligent and vocal the head
ache and the lock jaw declared Mr. johnson.
Mr.. johnson admits misdeeds Of railway man
ayers and financiers and says that such mis-
deeds should be restrained; but railway man
agement has great number Of great achieve
ments to it's credit; it ought to be free from
constraint that paralyzes it's future achieve
ments. And federal and state government
regulations are certainly in part to blame
through their confusing regulation of rates. for
financial mishaps not chargeable to railway fin
anciers. He suggests that rate regulation of
interstate hauls ought to be under federal iuris-
dicton and that this ought to sanction adequate
total revenue from all sources; that congress
ought not only to provide restriction Of abuses
but also make provision such that each group
Of roads shall have revenue for necessary OK
penses and for a credit basis making possible
improvements and expansion; that congress
ought to provide for ascertaining at proper in

The treasury is again selling certificates OF
Indebtedness to secure funds for the operation
iof the government That means that the admin
istration is spending money before it is collect
ed Some of the sales of Liberty bonds were
anticipated in the same way, SO that when the
money from the bonds actually was received it
was used merely to redeem certificates of in
debtedness. If taxes are to be disbursed months
before they are collected if the revenues of the
future are to be used in payment of the expenses
of the present, it is a time that halt was called
