An Important Test
 of the Motor Vehicle

171HE country will observe with
 H much interest the efforts of Arkansas citizens to overcome the handicap to trade and travel caused by the suspension of railroad three hundred and fifty miles long.
 On the day that the road stopped operations, the coaches and engines were draped in crepe, while shippers along the right of way were briskly placing motor vehicles in service and the highways were lined with pas senger automobiles.
 Persons not familiar with the conditions causing the railroad to suspend and the kind of roads now being used as a substitute are not in position to forecast to what ex- tent the makeshift is going to &C., commodate freight and passenger traffic. The interesting thing is that people heretofore dependent on railroad now have it not, and are forced to make demonstration of the capacity of highways and gaso- line vehicles.
 There will be close observation of the results by makers of motor vehicles, those who build, use and pay for highways and the railroad, interests, who must regard this as a test of more than passing i'm portance.
 The theory of self propelled ve- hicle has been thoroughly estab- lished. \ How cheap this is to be made is a problem of the future, but it is problem that presents many angles that must be considered seriously by all transportation in- terests.

Dispassionate Fate
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

The other day World war veteran in this city was cut to pieces by passing train. score of distinguished war ayiators who dared the uttermost in wild adventuring above alert and watchful goes on the fields of France and Flanders since have died as the result of petty ac- cidents. Hawker. the world famous first adventurer who dared the trans atlantic flight, only to fall Into the painless waters, has joined this mum Der. He died the victim of trifling accident. Every day the papers con tain accounts of men who survived all the hardships and perils of the great conflict overseas only to come

 It Is very strange, but fate is dls- passionate. History Is filled with her ironic vagaries. A monkey bites a king and he changes his royal robes for shroud! Men who. single hand ed, wrought supsrhuman deeds in the deadly melee of battle, have died of ptomaines! From innumerable ranks of the great common average Fate mockingly plucks the surprised and protesting individuals. It is but a scratch, slight fall, bit of infected food, any one of ten thousand things, and vigorous manhood or glorious youth yields to the cold dart sped from the hand of the Great Leveler, while age and decrepitude walk on immune through useless, undesired days.

There Is here of course no direct statement that Booth used the French text. But there is undoubt- ed implication, just as there Is in tho repetition of the performances two days later. so great was the in- terest of the audiences of the French theatre.
 Both Brander Matthews and Lau- renee Hutton in their we'll known biographies of actors accept 1t as fact that Booth played in French. In his European travels in Holland and Belgium however. there is no sug- gestion that he played in any other tongue than English. William W. Clapp says of Junius Brutus Booth in "The Boston stage":
 He was a marvellous linguist He played Shylock once in London, giv- ing the dialogue in Hebrew, and in New Orleans Orestes (Racines Am dromaque) in French"
 So the question stands, It is never theless certain that few of the elder Booths successors today could yen- ture to act in any language but their own. This lack of linguistic ability on the stage is equally true of the foreigners. Constant Coquelin and Mrs. Agnes Booth occasionally acteA together in ",rhe Silent System" but 1t was a pantomime. Dion Bouci- cault said that Charles Fechter, who, after his brilliant career in Paris. acted in England and this country, never learned to speak Eng fish at all. But there were many who never gave thought to the for eign accent of the first Armand.
 Jose Ruben. who came here first with Sarah Bernhardt. and is now an actor in the vernacular; Lou Tsi- legen. who was introduced ts the stage in the same way--thess afs some of the French speaking players who have learned to act in Eng lish. Hortense Rhea also accom- plished the task years ago, taking example by the Polish Modjeska. Nowadays the public demands, how ever, complete freedom from foreign accent. so the task Is more difficult than 1t used to be.

Reactionaries Snarl While
 German Pacifists Parade

T7f1HAT was a heartening series
 U of demonstrations held in Germany the other day, when 26 or ganizations, including war cripples and pacifists, marched under thou sands of banners bearing the in- scription, "No More War"
 Republicans, democrats, social ists and religious societies took part in the exercises. A dispatch from Berlin says more than 10000 peo- pie cheered for world peace before the former Kaiser's palace and praised the disarmament plan of President Harding.
 It was fitting way to observe what one of the banners announced as "the seventh anniversary of the great war murder" but signs were not lacking that the old militaristic spirit is not dead in the father land. Reactionaries and adherents of the Hohenzollern made no att tempt to conceal their outraged feel ings. They snarled and cursed and applied their favorite epithet for French soldiers to the crippled Ger man soldiers who were called swine and dogs for thus insulting the majesty of the war lords. Police men, armed with rifles and pistols, protected the marchers from the Yunkers, and it is quite probable that they needed protection.
 These Germans who shouted against war, do not, it is to be feared, represent the majority opin- ion in Germany. The sentiment there is still strongly in favor of a war of revenge, judging from press reports, and while the Hohenzol- ferns may have little chance of ever being restored to power, the Ger mans have not lost their capacity to hate nor their desire to wipe out the defeat they experienced in the World war. Take the word of France for that.

Whole Farm Family
 Went to Summer School

17NHE largest attendance in its
 U history was reported at the farmers school held at Auburn last week. Not only were the farmers there, but also their sons and daughters. Many farmers wives at tended the lectures and demonstra- tions in home economies.
 A feature of the school this year was the presence of the entire farm family. Heretofore the farm girls had met at Montevallo. That was very good in its way, but it is bet ter that the boy, girl, father and mother sit at the same table for i'm struction and hear the same speak CTS. In that way each member of the family becomes interested along the same lines and team work on the farm will be developed.

THE DEFENSE OF CAPTAIN KIDD

THE DEFENSE OF CAPTAIN KIDD From the Brooklyn Eagle,
 Enriched by the efforts of the old Lantern club. of which Fra Fiber tus was a star member, treated in verse and prose by such men as John the literature of Capt. William Kidd has commonly taken a trend toward admiration, with vindication as an in cident. We may suppose that the ly the publisher does. Once upon a time Mark Twain was asked by Harry Harper to speak in his place as an after dinner orator. Clemens of the House of liar per. am the House of Harper. I am a pirate. I am whole family of pirates" Harry Harper laughed with was not much of pirate compared with our modern profiteers. He will always be bone of contention among historians. The latest formal defense comes from John H. Ed monds, state archivist of Massachu- setts. It is worth a little attention.
 Dr. Edmonds holds that Kidd, when he took the Adventure to the coast of Madagascar, was not merely hunter of pirates, but a privateers- man free to seize all French vessels and vessels with French passes. He did seize a Moorish merchantmen of 200 tons. and a Bengal ship of 500 tons, and smaller craft. This was more profitable than catching pirates. And among those who had backed the adventure were the Earl of Or ford, first lord of the admiralty; the Earl of Romney, the Duke of Shrews- bury and Robert Livingston of New York For their pecuniary advan- tage he took the course he did, and to save their regulations q sailor and a ship surgeon were persuaded to testify against him. the actual French passes of his prizes which exonerated him were suppressed, and he was hanged at Execution dock in London. May 23. 170l. The Earl of Bellemont was the dead devil in the wicked conspiracv against Kidd, ac- cording to the Bay State research man.
 If this argument isn't quite so clear as some of the Hon. Elihu Roots, we forgive Edmonds. Mir. Root IS genius at putting things. If he were to take up the vindication of Captain Kidd he would make thorough job of it. But Mir. Root was never in- terested in the Lantern club. The in tensity of life devoted to the law and public service has deprived him oYten of those dramatic relaxations winch mean so much to most of us.

es-------- ------------------- BRITAIN JAILS THEM
From Forbes Magazine

T rom rOrDeS MagaZlne,
 Misleading prospectuses, financial reports and other statements calcu- lated to hoodwink the public are is- sued in shocking numbers in this country. Fleecing the American public by such tactics has gone on to an appalling. extent during recent years. Yet how many of the wrong doers have gone to jail? A few of the Ponzi stripe whose methods were particularly fragrant, have been sen fenced; but that's about all. Thev do things differently in England. The cables announce that Thomas Farrow, founder of Farrow's Bank which failed last Christmas. has been 'sentenced to four years, nenal servitude on conviction of having published a report and balance sheet which he knew. to be false" One of his associates was also sent to nrison for four years and another for one year.
 Note that the crime was publish ing false report and balance sheet 1T every man responsible for issuing faise and misleading reports and balance sheets in this country were sent to Jail, there wolud be a buiIs- ing boom. Our laws coverine such matters are disgracefully lax An indiVidual or a company can issue any Kind of prospectus or other financial statement in this country without danger of imprisonment Laws With teeth in them are sorely needed to catch swarms of unscrunu- ious promoters and others who ex tract several hundred million dollars every year from the pockets of un- wary investors" There have been ongoings higher up, also, which have not been creditable. It Is question: able, however, whether reform of our laws could do as much here as a reform of conscience

 z0 WHERE are the mIllionaires
 WW of yesteryear? year sgo
 at about this time the country was interested, surprised, even shocked, at being told that the income-tax returns indicated that there were more than 10000 mill lionaires in the United States. From the same authoritative source word comes that there are now only 65.
 What has happened to the million aires? How account for the sensa- tional disappearance of 1885, or more. of them? We have heard of no epidemic the germ of which. with strange selective instinct, might have attacked them and swept them off. The emigration statistics reveal no rush of millionaires to other parts of the world on any such scale. It is not to be believed that they are in concealment anywhere.
 Have all but sb survivors been stripped of their millions? By no means The hard boiled fact. as dis- tinguished from any romantic infer ence which nasty reading of the income-tax statements from Wash ington might furnish, Is that there were not 10000 millIonaires in the country aist year, or any numberap- preaching thats and, further. there are now many more than 65.
 A millionaire, according to common understanding as certified by the dic- tionary, is a person whose possessons are valued at s1,oo0.0oo or more. But the revenue statisicians last year called a person whose reported in come was equivalent to 5 per cent on l, 900. 900, s5oooo. millionaire. The agitation created in the bosoms of soap box orators at the apparent un- covering of so many as 10000 mil lionaires may have suggested the prudence of making different classification. At any rate. they now identify as a millionaire person who has an annual income of $1,ooo,ooo. The mysterious wholesale disappear ance of millionaires is thus simply due to confusion of terms.
 In a single year . man the value of whose possessions is much less than $1 900 900 may earn, or in some man ner roll up. $5o.ooo income. That accounts for most of the 10000 so- called millionaires of year ago. On | the other hand, only a multi mil- lionaire would be apt to have an in

TWO DOLLARS A LOOK

"a WV OAbAAS A AOOM From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Landlords in Toronto have been charging would-be tenants s2 merely to look at apartments. Two dollars a look exceeds the rate collected at Artemus Wards hotel in Richmond, where it was 50 cents breath.
 Two dollars look suggests new possibilities in profiteering. For the former price of a theatre ticket think of the joy of beholding at one coup d'oeil a parauetry floor. radium- painted radiator, self-starting chandelier, a bathtub with high tide clearly marked and a kitchenette for a fireless cooker. It's a wonder they can do 1t at the price!
 Look tickets might be issued and perhaps the landlords would take something off the purchasing quail ties--say six for s1o for family par holidays might be lessor more than on other days, and children might be charged half-or double price.
