People Trampled in Attempt to Buy
CheaD Meat in Vienna.

The announcement in Vienna OF
the sale Of a limited supply of meat
at the Central Market, three ounces
being allowed to each person, caused
a stampede in which many women
and children tainted and were con-
sequently trampled under foot.
Forty thousand people, it is reported,
gained entrance to the market at six
o'clock in the morning and 10000
more tried to get in. Pickpockets
added to the perils of the occasion.
The continued coal shortage has
caused the stoppage of the railway
service between Switzerland and
Vienna.

the American territory Glong the Rio

1t is reported that the evidence
developed at the hearing disclosed
the fact that not only were the high

carried out under the "Plar of San

Holland sent a note to Paris stat

No matter how homely and hope less looking he may be, you can't keep a man from believing that at least two or three women are stuck on him.
 Many young married man has dis covered that eugenics won't keep a wife from having cold feet.
 The Gypsy moth and the boil weevil are not doing half as much damage in this country as the American hum bug.
 You can't walk on the same side of the street with a snippy Princess with out giving her the idea that you are chasing her.
 Anyway. a wife would rather admit that she is wrong than admit that her husband is right.
 If man has four overcoats he won't try to wear all of them at once. But if woman has four ostrich plum she'll put them all on the same hat.
 You may not have to pay to get in. But that is no sign that you won't have to pay to get out.

Damrosch and His
 Orchestra in Europe

IWALTE DANRoscH and his w orchestra, which sailed for
 Europe a week ago, is due to arrive in Paris Monday and begin in that
 city tour of eight weeks. It will
 be the first venture of its kind of an
 American symphony organization,
 and the success of the undertaking will be watched with keen interest
 on both sides of the Atlantic. Up to twenty years ago the Euro pean orchestras in the great musical centers stood foremost in the world
 of music. But not so now. While there are yet many excellent sym
 phony bands in France, Italy and
 Great Britain, not to say Germany,
 where the Philharmonic of Berlin was supreme, but the United States has
 come forward rapidly in symphony virtuosity, and Damrosch is now sec ond to none.
 A few years ago European criti- cism would have been adverse. All
 scrts of faults would have been found with the tone quality of the Amer ican players and with the interpr eta tion of the American conductor. Dc. the attitude of our allies has natur- ally softened and criticism toward
 MT. Damrosch is sure to be kindly. Sousa and his band made a won-
 derful hit abroad. He created a
 furore. The critics as a rule ad-
 mitted that they had never before heard such brass and reed music as Sousa gave them.
 But symphonies are very different from compositions for all wind. Clar-
 inets, be they never so perfect, can
 never take the place of strings. A 1 Beethoven or a Brahms symphony re-
 quires a vastly finer body of musi- clans and far more intellectual read 1 ing than the reed organization. Dgmrosch will surely be at his best,
 and will win laurels that must reflect high credit upon American musical | art.

AMERICAN SLAVES

From the Indianapolis News.
 Slavery existed in nearly all of the English colonies from an early period un- til shortly before or soon after the Revo- lutionary war, and the African trade was openly tolerated by the British govern ment In 1756 there were 292. GOO African slaves in the colonies, scattered from New England to Georgia. Slavery was not pro- hibited in Massachusetts until 17sO, nor Tn Vermont until TIT. The United States census of 1s10 showed BIO slaves in Con necticut, 10,S51 in New Jersey. 15,017 in New York 795 in Pennsylvania and los in Rhode Island.

 Cause of Radicals

M WOMAN attorney for alleged 6 S radicals made the statement recently that of six hundred persons arrested in department of justice raids, but twenty-three were being held at Ellis Island for deportation.
 Yesterday Chairman Johnson of the House immigration committee, testi- flying before the rules committee which is Investigating the way in which Louis F. Post, assistant secre- tary of labor, handled deportaton warrants, said attempts to break up 'the most damnable conspiracy against the government in the na- tion's history" have been frustrated by disagreements between the depart ment of justice and the department of labor
 As the American people know, the department of justice has been vigil lant in rounding up radicals. It has done remarkably effective work in checking boishevism and anarchy in the United States. If, as has been charged, the department was over zeolcus and worked hardships on mary innocent persons who were for eigners, it's agents erred in a good cause. There is little time to quib- ble when bomb-throwers are abroad and there is a we'll organized move ment under way to wreck the Ameri- can government.
 While MT. Post may have been con scientious in performing what he re- garded to be bis duty and in his in- depreciation of the law, the misun- derstandings between the two depart ments which have resulted in hun dreds of radicals being released in- stead of beng deported cannot but encourage the activities of these un- desirable aliens in America.

HAZARDS OF JOURNALISM

Thereupon. 1t would appear sober sec ond thought came over Dr. Larreta- Sup pose the President proved to be as good a shot as his predecessor in office: the two would meet in the cool of the morn ing and in a few minutes the Pres- dent would go calmly back to breakfast in the presidential palace, while the ed itor's friends would mourn him. But that would be the fortune of war. If however, the editor were better shot than the President, the police would catch him before he got out of town. So he decided that he would fight his chief executive on foreign territory.
 This appears to have been too much for Dr. Brum. The President cannot be expected to take the boat for Buenos Aires every time he is offended by edi- torial criticism; and as the dispute now in his how town, or not at all.
