The Criminals Progress

No one can view without blazing indig-
nation the scandalous prevalence of crime,
and particularly of crimes of violence, in
New York. There are certain obvious
features of the case which make the
state of affairs in that city more dis
creditable than similar conditions else
where. At the same time it is profitable,
not for the exculpation of the New York
authorities, for that would be impossible,
but for the stirring up of other cities and
of all the country to action, to observe
that in simple number of crimes, New
York's record is not the worst among
American cities. Chicago, which has
Hylan of its own called Thompson, has
more than twice as many homicides, and
even the Zone time) City o: Brotherly
Love, and the (one-time) Puritan City,
exceed the New York murder-roll Fig
ures in the Spectator show that last year
in 81 American cities, with an aggregate
population of more than twenty millions,
there was an average manslaughter rate
of ninety one TO the million. Twenty
years ago the rate was only fifty-one to
the million. In twenty years there has
been an increase of rs per cent, or very
nearly four per cent year. Murderous
crime has therefore been increasing much
more rapidly than population.
The tgures in the Spectator charge
New York with SO homicides to the mil
lion, Boston with 81, Philadelphia with
62, and Chicago with 116. The mere fig
ures, appalling as they are, do not by any
means portray the worst features of the
case. If we should cite the proportion of
cases in which the slayers are never de-
tected, or in which for some reason the
due penalty of the law never falls upon
the criminals, and were to describe the
open audacity with which the crimes are
committed, we should have one of the
most astounding pictures ever painted,
and should have an Illuminating sugges-
ton of some of the chief encoura gements
to an orgy OF vlllainy which, for the
credit OF humanity, we must hope to be
without parallel in modern times.
10 say that such state of affairs was
normal, inevitable, lrremediabie, would
be to affront and mallgn civilization. 1t
would be to affirm the failure of human
government. For, according to our own
national creed, Governments are formed
and conducted to secure the rights of
men, and the first and greatest right is
that of life. A Government which fails
to secure that right to such an extent
that every year from fifty to hundred
and more lives out of every million are
felonlously destroyed, is false to it's first
duty. A nation which every year is the
scene of between nine thousand and ten
thousand murders and manslaughters, has
indeed a criminal blot in lis escutcheon.

BOLSHEVISM,

To prevent possibilities of catastrophe
harm to the national well-being, Ameri-
can citizens must be taught exactly
what the thing called Bolshevism really
means. Bolshevism, as expounded by its
agents on both sides of the Alta ntic, in
wolves the overthrow of established gov
eminent the world over. If it's emissa-
ries in the United States achieved the
purpose for which they are laboF4ng, our
Constitution would be discarded, the in
situations of representative government
destroyed, and in their place would be
substituted the unchecked tyranny of
minority-such a tyranny as now holds
Russia and its millions in its paralyzing
grip. Bolshevism, in brief, is no mere
finely spun academic theory, unrelated to
our daily lives. Bolshevism is at once
foe and challenge to the things OF
which, as a nation, we are most proud.
To combat it's unholy ends requires clear
thinking and resolute action on the part
of all American citizens-Boston Trans

ONE MAN FOOLED MONARCH
ice Under Emperor Frederick
William |. of Prussia.

Frederick William I of Prussia had
many an adventure in person as we'll
as establishing adventures for his Off
GERS when he attempted to keep up his
famous regiment of giants. There is
record of but one man that ever out
witted him in escaping the tolls of
the guard. Tim Morgan, poor Irish
farmer, started out to see the world.
ly seized by a recruiting officer of the
guards, Tim being a good six inches
over the siX-fGot standard for tall men.
Tim stood it for some time, and
then one day sighed and remarked
it was too bad that his five brothers,
all bigger men than he, were not men,
bers of the guard. The company Off
Ger. overhearng the remark, as was
intended, asked that Tim send for
them. Tim explained they would not
come for any such summons. King
Frederick heard of the possible re-
cruits, and gave orders that Tim be
sent after them, and with him take
81 800 as bride money. Tim went. and
of course never came back. He had
no brothers. tall or short. Once a
year until his death he would climb
hill near his home in Ireland and
shake his fist in the Prussian's direc-
ion, and bid him a hooking good-by.

How to Sleep.

What happens to your body when
you sleep? First, your breathing slows
down and your heart drops six or
eight beats a minute. Then cellular
repair begins. The muscles, nerves,
and tissues get new life; your whole
body breathes more freely.
When you waken you should feel
refreshed. If you don't, perhaps you
have slept too long; or slept in room
not properly ventilated. Eating heavi-
ly before retiring will also make you
wake up tired
When you go to sleep, stretch out. If
you draw your knees up under your
chin your body will not relax properly
Small pillows and hight bedding are
also recommended.
If you follow all these rules and
sleep eight hours every night, you will
wake up full of pep each morning

THE APPETITE OF The CHILD.

The voracious appetite of children is
an indication of the large requirement for
food not only to maintain muscular de-
velopment but to furnish the material for
the building up of the growing organism
and keeping it in repair, says the Maine
Department of Health. A remarkabl
mechanism is that of the child Socesse-
less in its activities that, pound for
pound weight, he needs much more food
than his elders. 1t is only the man of
exceptional muscular activities, the SOL
der on forced march for instance, who
equals, weight for weight, the days
work of year old baby. Even the boy
in his early teens does as much work in
proportion to his weight as the hard
working man. 1t is for this reason, that
the food requirement of boy of twelve
may be as great, or even greater than
that OF his father.

INVITES WRESTLING AT CHURCH
SERVICE

Portland has whistling parson, the
Rev. John H. Thompson of the First
Baptist Church, and he encourages wbis-
tiers in his congregation to follow his
example
More than 700 at the Sunday evening
service were led by the pastor in combi-
nation of organ, cornet, singing and
whistling by this clergyman, who ex-
horted all to join. to whistle if they
could not sing. Reluctant at first. there
was wavering and feeble response. An
other and more vigorous invitation on
his part brought forth greater volume
of tuneful melody and harmony and clear
ly distinct above the orchestra and vocal
efforts of great majority of the audi
ence, sounded the pastors lead as
whistler.
1t is novelty that is surprisingly fine
and whistling has come to stay in that
church at these services. Mr. Thomp-
son is one who can practice as we'll as
preach, and the skilful and tuneful
whstlers in his church must look to
their laurels, as he is decidedly the cham
pion thus far. Boston Herald.

A GOOD MANI REWARDED.

In order to show him the respect in
which he is held, the majority in the
House decided to retire their chaplain,
Rev. Henry M. Couden, who has served
in that capacity through both Republican
and Democratic administrations for
twenty five years. He is blind as the re-
suit of wound in the Civil war, and is
becoming quite feeble. Each day Just
before noon the tall, slender figure of the
aged chaplain. rather bent with his years
and attired in black, is seen approaching
the Capitol, arm in arm with his daugh-
ter. He is led to the speakers desk by a
page and there pours out invocation to
Almighty God He is beloved by all the
m en- befs and his prayers are printed
each day in the Record. For the rest of
his life he will receive his salary of ST.
500.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by, local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure catarrhal deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
dy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrb, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system. tsht

any case of Catarrhal Deafness that can

ONES EVERYDAY LIFE is

The hazards we face, in the

without taking into consider
alton vocational risks" he said,
ut is amazing how many chances
we run just leading a normal
life. Every day man faces loss
of life, physical impairment or
inability to earn livelihood.
Even in the act of arising in
the morning and in getting into
bed at night serious injuries
have been received by many
through falls on the floor. The
apparently safe operation of TAX
ing a bath has proved to be one
of the prolific sources of injuries.
Shaving is another dangerous OPP
Grafton. The number of serious
cuts has reached great proper
lions. The simple operation of
cutting corns has proved to be
dangerous and innumerable in
juries have been due to accidents
while lighting cigars, cigarettes
and pipes.
Chores about the house, both
for men and women, furnish all
kinds of hazards, the statistics
show. Falls from ladders. both
inside and outside the house,
have been numerous, to say moth
ing of apparatus, cuts from lawn
mowers, butcher knives and scis-
sors, burns while cooking and
falls over furniture.
"In the streets the dangers are
even greater. Many are killed
crossing the streets at undeSig-
mated points. Falling signs and
snow endanger the lives of Pc
destrians.
The number of accidents and
consequent injuries might be
greatly decreased, my informant
said, if people would only exer-

GHoSTLY LOVERS ON WATCH
Legend Of the City Of Mexico That
Makes Peculiar Appeal to Super.
stltious Residents.

One OF the strange legends Of the
City of Mexico has to do with the Gale
de los Parados (Street Of the Two
Idlers). According to the story there
was a beautiful girl, Dona Maria Ysa-
bel de Vallejo y Vezca, who lived on
the street and was beloved by two
men, one young officer and the other
q young merchant After the custom
Of the land at that period (abOut 1650)
they indicated their love by standing,
one at each corner of the block, until
the dona appeared.
A plague fell upon the city about
this time and the girl died without It
becoming known to her lovers. She
was taken out and buried by night,
also unbeknown to the sultors. The
next day they stood at their respective
posts waiting in vain. The day after
they stood and the day after that,
week after week, month after month
and year after year. They at last
died, still on their posts, and their
ghosts are said to still stand at night,
cloaked and CHASTITY, in the darkest
shadows of the streets.
