Virtues Unsung.
(Cincinnati Enduirer. ]


 The words of Cardinal Gibbons, addressed to the public invariably command attention and respect He speaks not alone his church. but to tho world His thought is not restricted by the trammels of creed where the interests of humankind concerned. In recent sermon he said:
 t"Crime is not rampant today than
 it has in preceding generations. The
 cry of the public for sensational and sean
 dalous news has led to the publication of the
 vices of the day, leaving unsung the virtues
 that unobstrusively continue as they have in
 the past"
 No one will deny this statement. Crime still is the unusual thing. We publish the daily sac and tragic happenings becauset hey represent departures from the normal life of endeavor and service Put there is justification for this Crime should De reentlessly exposed, it's ugliness held up to pubic gaze. Too it probably is true that large pTcpor- tion of the public cries for the saacous and the scandalous majority of the public And we are growing farther and farther away from such expression of and perverted taste Question able books plays and moving pictures no longer generally are popular. The of men and women lead clean lives, think clean thoughts.
 Virtues are unobstructive. It is glorious, reall- zation that virtue is so commonplace, so much the normal 'condition that it attracts attention, re- oires no special laudation, spectacular eXDlola- tion. And we plead that, so far as the news papers are concerned, tho goodness and genencss Tn life so abundantly about find great deal of space in their columns Together with the church. news paDers seek minimize the evil in the world, ana We like to think that their efforts in this drectloh arc by no negligible.

FISH TRAPS AND NAVIGATION.

The testimony produced at the hearing yesterday would indicate that there should be difference in tnc regulations for pile driven fish traps and the floating traps. F Both should be built in such way as minimize the danger to navigation( both slould be lighted both should be definitely located speci- fled sites that their positions could be located T map The floating traps should be securely moored so they would not break loose and become dereicts.
 The leads of traps should be so long that they would interfere with navigation of the waters O Alaska And this statement should not be considered Iypercritically. A wharf built into the water could be the cause of damage to a boat which trying to how closely it could hug the shore in a foggy night. Boats sometimes collide, and woulc not on that account forbid but to sail in given waters at the time The leads, therefore, should be reasonably limited.

There was a time when the home
on the farm was the least important
building. The dairy barn. hoghouse
and other farm buildings were built
10 fast and contained all the latest
Improvements in the way of equip
ment. The home was merely a shell
ter and could wait. What was the re-
suit? The farm wife had a whole
lot of unnecessary work to do with
out any cOnveniences. Comfort was
almost entirely lacking.
But times have changed Today the
farm home is one of the big buildings
on the farm. AS well as being the
most attractive. it is the most mod
ern, being equipped with the latest la
bOr-saving and comfort producing de-
vices to make the lot of the housewife
a pleasant one and to make home life
in general one that will appeal and
keep the children cOntented. One
great cause for the discomfort of the
farm boy has been home conditions.

Upstairs has been divided into three
bedrooms and bathroom. The bed
rooms are Is by IA feet. Is by IL feet,

each contains a clothes closet ample
for the needs Of the occupants.
This home answers the question:
"What sort of a farm home can l
build that will be satisfactory in every
way and not cost me a whole lot of
money!" The square type of house
is economical to construct and always
provides plenty of room. Today the
modern farm home is one that COM
hines comfort with the least expendi-
ture of effort. The farmers wife will
certainly appreciate home of this
type, because it furnishes her with the
means to do all her work in the most
pleasant manner possible.
After a long days work in the hot
sun it is quite treat for the farmer
and his help to be able to come home
and take a refreshing bath In mod
ern bathroom and spend restful eve
ming reading or in some other recrea-
ton in pleasant rooms well lighted
and furnished. Modern equipment has
helped the farm wife UNNECESSARILY In
performing her tasks. and has made
possible her entrance into social &C
tivities.
Comfort in the farm home is essen
tial. The old idea Of "all work and
no play" is no longer held by progress
sive farmers. for they have found By
actual experience that happy. content
ed homes increase the efficiency ant
earning power of the farm.

RUMANIA: PAWN OF MANY

Rumania, which has attracted atteD-
ton recently because Of the visit Of
Prince Carol to this country, has been
a center of European war storms for
a thousand years.
Peter the Great once established a
prOtectorate over the Rumanians and
Catherine the Great later advanced
a plan for the annexation of their ter
ritory to Russia. Fearing that such
territorial expansion might be men

inc to abandon that plan.
Rumania, as we now know II, was
formed from MOldavia and Wallachia
in 1861. Previously these principali-
ties had been under Turkish suZer-
ainty. following Austria's protest
agaist Russia anneXing them. Au-
tonOmy being guaranteed by the pow
ers which agreed to the union of the
principalities following the Crimean
war, Rumanians chose ali army officer,
Col. Alexander Curza. as their ruler.
His title was Alexander John l, prince
of Rumania.
When. seven years later. the element
in power at Bucharest decided for a
change of rulers there were few for
mallties. Invading the princes bed
room by night, leaders of the group
presented a certificate of abdicatiOn to
be signed. and then bundled him In a
carriage and put him aboard an ex-
press for Paris.
The count of Flanders, brother to
King Leopold of Belgium, was chosen
by a provisional government. The
powers. especially Austria, protested.
