We are living in a new world. The
indications are plentiful that this Is
true. Only the blind man can fail to
see that tomorrow Is big with possibil-
tiles Of which few years ago few
dreamed. Ono Of the Indications Is
the appointment of an interallied air
commission to consider the political
and commercial questions involved in
the occupation Of mans new domain.
This is pioneer work In an age when
we had thought the pioneering was at
IN end. There arc no precedents to
guide, and the problems are complex.

SEEK CHANGE IN PRACTICE

The American Bar association has
set about to produce reform in court
practice hoping to remove at least one
cause for popular irritation and dig
trust Of the judiciary. 1t Is that when
examination Of the trial record by an
appellate court discloscs no error that
would In itself prejudice the verdict,
the decision will not be disturbed Iii
simple words, no verdict Will be set
aside on mere Incidental technlcnlity,
says Omaha Bee. Lawyers who are
concerned in this move, as we'll as emil
nent Judges, give 1t earnest support
rs tending to restore popular conf
1ence in the courts, admittedly for
teitcd by the hair-splitting that so fire.
1ucntly has appeared to thwart or turn
aside justice. They do not apprchcnd
That confusion will rcsuls because OF
the liberal application Of common
nense. On the contrary, they recognize
that II is comparatively easy for
shrowd trial lawyers to provoke what
Is now accepted as reversible error"
giving them that much Of q leverage
on the future If the suit goes adverse
~. 1t is to wipe out this practice that
the bar association Is now pressing a
bill In congress to correct the rules
In the federal courts, with the belief
that similar reform In state courts
will follow.

1t Is singular'y appropriate to choose
Benjamin Franklin's picture to appear
on the new issue Of War Savings
stamps, says Youths Companion. Not
only did Franklin himself pay all the
bills Of the Revolution that pertatned
to foreign expenses Of the government
as we'll as negotiate loans amounting
to millions; during the French and In
dian war he advanced more than six
thousand dollars to help General Brad
dock, and in 1776. just before sailing
for France, he put all the money he
could raise-between three and four
thousand pounds-into the hands Of
congress to show his confidence In the
new government. Also, II any other
reason were necessary, Franklin was
the greatest preacher and teacher Of
thrift that America ever produced.

Martin likes to go next door every
Sunday morning and have his Uncle
Al read the "funnies" to him. One
morning the pictures were particular
~ allnrlng and he was deaf to all i'm
portunitics to get ready for Sunday
school. Finally Uncle Al added to
Martins discomfort by urging the
benefits OF attending Sunday school,
offering as an argument that he had
attended until eighteen years old.
Whereupon Martin cast whitening

MENACE TO CAUCASIAN RACE
Practice OF PoIygamy In the Orient
Constitutes Peril Which Must
Not Be Underestimated.

The storm center of social reform
In Asia for the next quarter of Il cen,
tury Is likely to be over the relations
of the sexes, writes Tyler bennett in
Asia. II any statement Of the men
ace Of polygamy were necessary to
bring home to American readers the
immcdiacy of the subject, some re.
cent statements from the editorial
columns of the Far Eastern Review
would seem to be suitable. The Cau-
casian population of the world is dou-
bling It's number once in hundred
years; the dnrk-skinncd races, which
now outnumbcr the white population
two TO one, are doubling their mum
bcrs every twenty-five years.
AT least such is the case I'm Korea,
where tho most recent figures nre
available. The editor of the Ear East
ern Review figures out that at the
present rate of increase the Caucus
ian element In the worlds population
Will have shrunk in n hundred years
to scarcely per cent. The oriental
demands male children, as many of
them rs he can produce. The editorial
In question says: $50 long rs the
oriental man is able to arrOgute to
himself the right to possess plural
wives, just so long will polygamy pre-
vail. But there Is way out and one
which Is becoming broader and more
easy to tread each year. The wife
with foreign education is a precious
thing In China in the eyes Of the re-
turned students, since she is one Of
few women Of his own race that
realizes and understands his peculiar
aspirations. She has it in her hands
to be the one and only wife, and If
the few examples that have come un-
der the writer's notice are any critic
rion, she will exert that power to the
utmost"

ANNUAL REUNION

Confederate Veterans to Assemble in
Thriving City.
Columbia, March 12.-The annual
reunion Of the Confederate veterans
Of South Carolina will be held this
year in Greenwood in tho latter part
of April or the first Of May, the date
not yet having been definitely fixed.
Maj. Gen. w. A. Clark, commanding
the South Carolin, division Of the
veterans, said yesterday that the in
vitation to hold the reunion in Green
wood this year was received several
days ago, and that the invitation
would be accepted. The exact date
will be left to the convenience of the
hosts Of the veterans. 1t has been
the custom to hold the annual re-
union between the planting and the
working seasons, but few Of the vet
Grams arc able to do much physical
lahor now, on account OF the iniilmi-
ties incident to advanced age.
The program has not yet been ar
ranged in its entirety. 1t is planned
to have several addresses delivered,
and 1t is probable that the usual fcs-
tivitics that mark the annual gath
erings OF the veterans will be engaged
in. The Sons Of Veterans will also
presumably hold their annual meet
ing at Greenwood, though General
Clark was unable to give definite in
formation as to the plans Of the Sons
yesterday.

k1Af1ce more in the capacity Of secretary
~ the workmen's compensation bu-
reau, at a salary of $4,000 per mum.
MY. Browns appointment was made
at the initial meeting of the bureau
saturday, when the members complet-
gu their preliminary organization.
Secretary Brown comes from Wis
sonsin: He has been in North Da-
Kota about two years and three weeks,
and two ear of that time he has
been a public appointee. by grace of
the league. With his appointment to
the secretaryship of the workmen's
compensation bureau. three of the
best appointive jobs at the disposal
OF Mr.. Townley have been awarded
10 he latter's imported newspaper
pen.
- There was no one in North Dakota
big enough to handle the position of
secretary Of the industrial commits
sion, so Mr.. Townley sent over Oliver
s. Morris, who had been editing his
Nonpartisan Leader at st. Paul. Mr..
Morris is drawing $500. The league
Is paying the manager Of the great
Bank of North Dakota but $500 more.
Walter w. Liggett. who has been in
the state only a few months. has been
promised the immigration commits
| sionership, also at, $4,000. There
was no one in the league ranks in
SFSrth Dakota capable of handling this
work, SO again Mr.. Townley called in
a st. Paul newspaper man.
Johnny Brown, because he has been
in the state two years and three weeks,
naturally could not expect as much
consideration as these others, say fol-
lowers of the Townley system, SO his
GALAXY is $1,100 per annum less than
&hat which Morris is drawing and
31iggett will draw.
There is no room at the capitol for
the workmen's compensation bureau,
