Mr.. Hoan and King Albert

We c mot imagine that the serenity OF
King Albert or Queen Elizabeth would be much
disturbed if the wireless should tell them OF
the impolite utterances of the socialist mayor
of milwaukee. The comforts OF the George
Washington would not lose their SAVIOR, nor
would the faith of the royal personages in the
warm welcome awaiting them in America be
shaken in the slightest degree. For the king
md queen of the Belgians know what social
SITS are They have them at home.
The Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce re-
spectfully asked Mayor Hoan to invite the Wis
tors to that city. which is still famous with
ar without beer His answer was: Il stand Tor
The man who works. To hell with the kings
Like most of the logic of socialists and
socialism, Hoan's major and minor syllogisms
and his conclusion do not hitch Leaving di-
vino right and established position and the
LOYALTY of free people out OF the question,
King Albert is distinctivey man who works. "
His occupation has never been unionized, OF
course But the service he rendered to the
world in the dark days of 1914 and later
proved him master of his craft. 1t is as a
man, mot as king, that he has been honored
and will be honored in America.
Thinking Americans, preterring our own
form of government, may and do recognize
that freedom is compatible. with a form pre-
serving the monarchy; that the kings of Eng
land, of Italy. of Belgium are not autocrats,
and are peril to nobody That ministerial
responsibility to parliament means quicker re-
sponsveness to public feeling than our Ameri-
can plan is self-evident. That may be an adj
vantage or disadvantage. Hoan of Milwaukee

BertllIon Cards for Motor Cars

Massachusetts will go record as the first
state to reduce the automobile to thing, as it
were, of Bertillon measurements. 1t will achieve
this distinction through law which is to go
into effect on the coming Friday and which is
expected to put motor car thieves in the Bay
State into the lower class of the used-to-be.
The new act will change entirely the methods
of registration and of issuing licenses to dealers
in Massachusetts. But the most important of
its provisions will call for a card index, the
units of which will carry the life histories fall
automobiles bought. sold and resod in the
state. Reports are required that will keep these
hcation points will be recorded in such minute
ness that nothing the complete rebuilding
of car will be likely to deceive the authorities
The police will have ready access to dealers
records and to licensed premises. Used cars
offered for sale must be held four days in or
der that the police may look them over and
compare descriptions with those of machines
reported stolen.
This Massachusetts, law will require the
opening Of special state department and will
make lot of work for officials, for dealers and
sometimes for owners. That automobile steal
ing has become an offense sufficiently menacing
to make worth while the trouble and expense
is a fact that hardly be disputed
New York or any other commonwealth may
profit by the Bay State law to some degree if it
chooses to report its motor thefts for the card
index at Boston pressing question in Man
haitian, however, aside from that of tracing
stolen cars, is that of identifying the cars that
SO frequently and successfully carry local
bandits to and from the scenes Of their crime.

can bring this desirable thing to pass?-New

service, lower the profit to per cent, while

through his handkerchief, then
when Peggy let out a shrek of

answered Peggy.
"Why, you can talk monkey talk"
exclaimed the monkey, Now /
know you don't mean any harm.
But what's that about diamond
brooch? What is a diamond?
"A diamond is-is-well, a dia-
mond is a diamond, and 1t sparkles
like glass" answered Billy.

and he held up something that gilt

"Why. that's it," exclaimed Billy.
"Where did you get it?''
II found it," answered the mon
