Isn't it strange to what extremes a

trlbuted by First National Exhibitors
Circuit, which will De the Princess
Theatres attraction for Thursday, she
dons a typical "vamp" costume Of the
standing room only" variety and
walks into her victims apartment, with
the insane intention of at least be-
ing noticed.
Whether she accomplished her pur-
pose or not is another question Need
less to say, her intentions were earn

They insert the bills in the lining OF

program for one session, and
most of the reforms desired will
meet with the approval Of large
element of the best citizenship of
the country. At the same time,
many of those who are in sympa-
thy with the aims of the reformers
will doubt the wisdom of their
present crusade. To these mod
crates" it appears as though the
country had taken a pretty stiff
dose of reform medicine in the
Eighteenth amendment, and that
it would be we'll to wait and see if
the patient were able to retain it
before administering any more
nostrums. Too much physics all
at once is likely to prove worse
than none.
There is also the consideration
that further attempt to improve
public morals by national legisla-
tion will be a pretty severe strain
on the time-honored doctrines of
states rights and individual lib
critics. If everybody's life and
habits are to be regulated by laws
passed at Washington we may as
well abolish state governments
and discard the once priced notion
that we are free people. IL the
reforms which the earnest indi-
viduals above referred to urge are
enacted into federal laws and con-
stitutional amendments, as they
propose, then there is no limit to
the regulations which may be inn
posed upon us in future. An anti
tobacco constitutional amendment
will follow, of course, and COM
pulsory church-attendance amend
mend will be in order. And, in.
the natural course Of events, what
is to hinder the specification, by
constitutional amendment, of ex-
actly what denomination one must
confess faith or be criminal?
The reform-by-force mania is
being carried too far. The ends
aimed at are worthy ones in most
cases, but the methods are wrong.
There is grave danger of reaction
airy upheaval if the over-zealous
reformers go too faar. It is not
the nature Of the American people
to submit tamely to. tyranny, even
for the sake Of their souls.

by legislation are: Federal CEN

President Wilson has acceded
to the request of the Council Of
the League of Nations, and will
proffer his personal mediation,
through a representative, in an
effort to end hostilities between
Armenia and Turkish Nationalist
forces. The president could not,
in common humanity, decline to
do what is in his power to end
the suffering and slaughter in Ar
menia. His reply to the Council
makes clear<that he cannot employ
the military forces of the United
States i'm any project for the re-
lief of Armenia, not even extend
any material assistance without
the authorization of congress. His
efforts must necessarily be along
pacific and moral lines, and it is,
of course, questionable whether
they will be effective with the bru-
tai Turks.

Her LIFE FOR HER PUPPIES
AirciaIe Never Hesitated When Called
Uoon to Make the Supreme
Sacrifice to Duty.

Again a mother has given her life
Tor her young.
This time the setting is the San
Francisco waterfront down where
whistles scream, hoists squeal and
rattle engines chug and there is me-
chanical ensemble of industrial noise
the long day through. The principals
are dOgs-a wiry-haired Airedale
mother and her four puppies.
A scow was home to the canine fam
lily. One day swell overturned the
basket in which the pups lay, and Ov-
erboard they went. There was no
human aid near. But the mother
leaped to the rescue of her drowning
offspring. One by one she brought the
little pups to safety. But before she
could reach the last one it drowned.
Men found her on deck, still holding
the body of the dead puppy, and with
the three others scrambling and whin-
ing around her. The mother was too
exhausted to move. They sent for a
physician, but when he arrived the
rescued pups were orphans.
To the burden of her own six pups,
an Irish setter who lives aboard the
same scow, has added the care Of
three foster Children, the orphans of
the Airedale mother.

DIDN'T QUITE GET THE IDEA
Japanese Geisha Girl Meant Well, But
American Travelling Man
Remained Hungry.

Baron Rempei Kondo, president Of
the Japan Mail Steamship company,
said at a dinner that he gave recently
in New York:
1.-THE Japanese are a very clean
people. l know an American traveller
who will testify to this.
THE traveller, half famished, made
his way one day into a teahouse I'm a
remote Japanese village. The geisha
girl ushered him into a spotless, airy
room, and brought him a cup of un-
sweetened tea. AS he could speak no
Japanese, he tried to explain by signs
that he wanted a full meal, but the
girl though she smiled politely, failed
to understand.
$50 the traveller thought he would
resort to another means. He took out
his notebook and pencil, drew a fish
and an egg, and handed the drawing
to the geisha. This time she laughed
delightedly, clapping her hands and
ran from the room.
THE traveller was pleased. He
waited contentedly for his meal
Five or ten minutes passed. Then
the door opened, and two attendants
staggered in with a portable bath
brimful of hot water, and a cake OF
