Bows and Film Thrillers.

A scene was enacted on one of the
public Fairgrounds in this city the
other day which should give parents
of small boys food for serious thought.
Two lads, one Of twelve and the other
of fourteen years, engaged in a pen
knife duel in imitation of a movie
enTene they had lately witnessed
A crowd of other boys surrounded the
participants and cheered them on.
One of the "duelists'' was slightly
wounded on the breast, whereupon
the duel" ended.
1t is impossible to reckon the ham
that has been done to juvenile morals
by the movie pictures of sensational
kind that the youngsters are per
mitted to see nightly, without any
restraint. Johnny announces after
dinner that he is going to the
movies Possibly he asks permits
sion. Usually he simply states the
fact and sets forth. Does the parent
know what kind of movie he is
about to see? Not once in a thousand
times. When Johnny comes home he
may be asked, How was the pic
ture? or What did you see?" And
Johnny will reply. perchance. 1T

Feminine Costumes.

the next development. If progression

Of the popular manner of attire is but
the forerunner of a degree of frank
exposure that would make the cos

jealous.
In modern offices, on the streets. in
stores, wherever young women are
employed or assemble. the effect is
that OF an evening party. and very
liberal evening party at that in the
matter of gowns. There seems to be
no distinction between daylight and
after-dark propriety in respect to
feminine draperies.
Public taste governs in these mat
tiers to a great extent. But the cues
ton arises whether the public taste
has not been so atrophied morally
within the past few years as to have
become an unsafe guide. That good
taste is violated constantly, at every
turn, is shockingly evident One Won
ders whether parental restraint is still

women who are at their daily tasks
wearing the costumes that in the
youth of those mothers would have
been considered unseemly at ball or
a reception conscious of any impro-
priety in these morning and -afternoon
displays of inamodesty?
Judge Sellers example should be
followed by the employers of young
women generally. She has taken a
step that should lead to a reform that
is urgently needed unless the worlds
standard of decency in dress is to be
definitely discarded for the closest ap-
proach to nature that can possibly be
tolerated.

cultivated to point of discrfnina-

physical combat and bloodshed and
yawns at placid representations of

clean and instructive. The pity is
that it shows any other kind.
1t is idle to suggest that the parents
accompany the children to the picture
plays. for, unhappily, they are either
too busy with their own amusements,
or too Indifferent, or possibly too glad
to have the boys and girls located
somewhere else than at home, in order
to have surcease from noise and CON
fusion. Furthermore, many parents
like the same sort of thriller" stuff
that appeals to the youngsters. But

that a risk has been run in giving
them such range of choice.

Lower Fares for School Children.

The plea for cheaper street car
fares for school children is sounded
again, and it is proposed that the citi-
zens generally enter their petitions to
this end with the Public Utilities Com
mission. AS a practical matter the
reduction Of the rate to children at
tending school would probably work
no net loss to the companies, but
might actually operate as a gain. For
at the present rates many children
are forced to walk to school who
otherwise would ride.
Many parents find the daily charge
of Is cents for car fare for a single
child a burden that must be avoided,
if possible. At that rate it costs rs
cents week to send a child to and
from school by the cars. At the former
rate Of six tickets for a quarter it
costs shade less than AZ cents. This

Haw,' in tones vociferously raw, as
boisterous as the wintry flaw
That breezes through the chink;
He is no melancholy loon. He is a

From sorrow wholly free;
Great undertakings end in smoke; a
friend goes lame or blind or broke; he
takes all as merry joke
To stimulate his glee.
When patriots their best efforts lend,

and toll for an unselfish end,

Italy's Disaster Grows.

Italy's disaster grows more serious.
In addition to the injuries inflicted
by the first series of shocks, which
total probably more than a thousand
deaths, there has now occurred a
fresh series of quakes, damaging
towns heretofore not hit bv the ire.
mors and taking heavier toll in lives.
The worst of such situation is that
the end cannot be foreseen. There is
no assurance when the earth will re-
turn to stability. The quakes do not
follow any established course of de-
velopment. There may be a closely
connected series of shocks, with q
lapse of several days, and then more
shocks at irregular intervals for q
month. Or the whole group of
tremors may last only two or three
days.
King Victor Emmanuel has dis.
charged his duty, as usual, promptly
and effectively. AS on all previous
occasions of earthquaking and VOL
canic eruptions, he has gone into the
stricken district, without regard for
his comfort or safety, and brought
solace to the stricken people. He and
Queen Helena have endeared them
selves to the Italian populace by their
immediate response to every such de-
mand. On some occasions they have
worked with others to rescue victims
from the wreckage. And these visits
to the scenes of suffering have never
been ostentatious, but with the dig
nifty of sincerity and sympathy which
is an attribute Of these two rulers.

Industrially, of course. we had to
build ourselves up. To encourage sue

devised and applied, and 1t soon be-
gan to produce the results desired.
Our manufactures multiplied and
prospered, and our rank among the
producing nations steadily advanced.
Politically, we had affairs enough
Of our own to occupy our time; and as
our governmental experiment was on
a large scale-the largest of the kind
ever attempted anywhere-we found
it necessary to devote our whole time
to it.

our hundred and odd years of effort

founders of the nation than has ever
been shown in the same length Of
