auNDER THE STARS"

From Beds Under StarS-Anotner
 Cruise of the 'Dingbat of Already '"
 by Marguerite Wilkinson,-ein the
 October Scribners.
 When the earth was arranged, which took not more than five minutes, we spread out the canvas and laid wooden blankets on it. As much depends on blankets under meath as on blankets on top when sleeping on the ground. Then came light cotton blankets--the sleep be- tween" which could be washed easily and served as protection against the dust that always gathers In wool. On top of this we put more woolen blankets. We kept the second strip of canvas at hand for protection If 1t should rain. We had no tent.
 No roof stood between us and heayen--none but the broad, deeply cleft leaves of our tree. On one side even these did not hide the sky. On that side there was not even mist to mask the street lamps of the eternal cities above us as light fog from the harbor sometimes veils the stars that are New York at night. Climbing through that aperture in the branches on rays of starlight, my vision rose into the everlasting blue and my spirit followed.
 No walls were between us and the voice of the river to deaden the long sound of it's chanting-none but the walls of quiet air through which that chanting came. My lips moved with desire to shape words to the tune of 1t and l gathered vague syllables together into heaps in my mind as listened. only to throw them all away again at last. II had to be song without words
 There was nothing between us and the nervous life that plays sensu- ously upon the surface of the earth. The ground whispered when m in- sect moved in or over 1t. The hush Of night was broken. occasionally, by the passing, of the little night hunters of the wood, scurrying across leaves and twlgs to and from their hidden homes. talking with their quick feet. Sometimes something fell. Then silence closed in again deeper than before.

From tho Montgomery Advertiser.
 6N HE soviet government of Rus
 sia has resorted to the old
 Roman policy of furnishing
 Dread and circuses," when the peo- pie become discontented and trouble- some. In the face of tho financial and industrial collapse of Russia, tle American people nre furnishing the bread and the bolsheivhi are fur hishing the circuses.
 4 correspondent, writing from Ka1an. says there has been no rev. olution in tastes If there has been in politics. Only q sentimentalist expects human nature to be altered purged. and given new character by revolutions. Forms of govern ment change. but people remaln over by a revolution. They are inn proved slowly only by Herculean eff forts of leadership. 4 few of our philosophers claim that sthey have not improved in 2,ooo years, but these philosophers are pessimists and mak- CTS of epigram.

 The majority of the bolsheviki may have been fanatics and danger ous people when they were clothed with power. but they were not al- ways fools.

T was going through modern bungalow the other day in which the dining room opened on the living room with just the usual fancy arches which gave no privacy says IS, D. Garrett.

 He seemed much amused when l replied that In the bungalow scheme the dining room was merely the background for the living room, and while 1t was dected out in dining room furniture 1t was only used on special occasions as every bungalow ite ate in the breakfast room, for a bungalow without breakfast room would be an anomaly"

LONDON JOURNALS
From the New York r,ns.

From the New York Times.
 The Globe of London. q weIl-ea. tablished and influential London newspaper, consolidated last sprinr with the Pail Mall Gazette. owned by William ,waIdorf Astor after he left New York and became an Eng. fish subject. The famous old Athe. naeum, literary Journal of high standing, also recently analgamted with the Nation of London. and now the Destminster Gazette. the rival of the Pail Mall Gazette as an even Ing paper, announces 1t will enter the morning field; In size and appear- ance 1t will be somewhat like the London Times and will be sold for twopence, or twice the sum at which New York morning newspaper are sold. Its editors announce the ex- pertinent has behind it very influen- tial support" which may mean finan- cial or political support, and prob ably both, for without both kinds of boNHAAAS A15 oQCCSS8 III 1IS new 1ei1 would be problematica1.
 Oldtime readers of the Globe, the Pail Mall Gazette, the Athenaeuna and the Westminster Gazette prob ably would prefer them as they were originally started, without the neces- sary changes of point of view in separable from such amalgamations as they have undergone. Yet 1t is quite probable all these changes will result in stronger, abler papers more in touch with present day changes and points of view than were the papers which by merging lose part at least of their individuality. Whether the Westminster Gazette changes to the morning field in or- der to fight more successfully for the moderate liberal element of the lib- eral party, of which former Premier Asquith is tho representative, or whether It will be reckoned as an opponent of the radical wing of that party, remains to be seen. The Chronicle may be said to be the Lloyd George chief organ, but of recent years the shades of difference be- tween the two wings of the party have not been clearly marked.
 It was q coalition government headed by Lloyd George, and with which ex-Premier Asquith cooper ated, that carried England through tho war. With the Irish question still unsettled there is ample room for difference of opinion and sentiment between the two wings of the liberaI party, and 1t Is possible these dif- ferences may be accentuated. rather than minimized, by the entrance of the Westminster Gazette into the morning field.

Mrs. Tidmore has accepted the death of her husband as something that cannot be mended now and without complaining is facing the struggle of caring for her children. The sympathetic people of St. Clair and Blount counties have come to her re- lief and are raising money to pro vide temporarily for the wants of the family. But Mrs. Tidmore can not expect to receive help during the hard, bitter years before her nor Is it likely that she would care to become a public charge. She must make the fight for the most part alone and unassisted until her chil- dren are large enough to work.
 It is a pitiable case and the more regrettable because Tidmore, from all accounts, was an honest, law abiding farmer, who enjoyed the es- teem of his neighbors and had never been involved in violations of the prohibition law. His widow may re- gard him as 8 victim of circum- stances, but it would be nearer the truth to say he was a victim of of ficers who showed deplorable lack of discretion.
 The Tidmore case will serve a good purpose if It puts an end to the indiscriminate killing of citizens in Alabama by officers who shoot first and investigate afterwards.

Public Must Suffer
 From Railroad Strike

@ oNFIRMED optimists are in M2 vited to study statement made in Chicago by l.. E. Sheppard, president of the Order of Railway Conductors.
 MT. Sheppard said if 1t is found necessary to break with the rail- roads the strikers will try to incon- venience the public "as little as pos sible." Continuing his remarkable remarks, he said, "To be effective, a strike would have to be something more than 8 mere declaration. Hard ships undoubtedly would result and there would be suffering. But trans portation would not be tied up every where, and the large cities would not suffer greatly"
 Most considerate of Mir. Sheppard. yet we venture to ask why millions of people, mere innocent bystand- CTS, should be made to suffer at all :? Any sort of railroad strike, large nr small, is ultimately strike at.the people who are dependent upon the railroads for transacting their busi- ness and obtaining the necessities of life. Because John Jones is dissat- isfied with his wages or working hours should Sam Smith, Mrs. Smith and the little Smiths be subjected to hardships and deprivation?
 If we do not greatly mistake the temper of the American people, they will not welcome any degree of suf- fering for the sake of disgruntled railroad employees. They don't feel that it is either duty or privi- lege to suffer, and they are quite right.

BLOOD WILL TELL

From the Linden Democrat Reporter.
 Fifty years ago at Appomattox two great bodies of men. one clad in blue and the other in tattered gray, de- cided to stop fighting and live to- gether in peace thereafter.
 Few, alas, of those men are left. The other day the "boys" of the Grand Army held their annual reunion at Indianapolis Shortly. the surviv- ing fighters of the Confederate army will meet at Chattanooga
 But it will not be long before these handsful of glorious blues, and superb grays will be compelled by circumstances to discontinue their national gatherings.
 We'll. they belonged, those boys. to wonderful age in our history. They made America. For one thing, thelr deeds of steadfastness and valor ,r battle gave notice to the whole world that this nation, united, could not be trifled with. And the moment ii was learned that their grandsons were to join in the World war, in- telligent men everywhere--eyen ir Germany-kpew that that conflici was all but over. over there.

Are the American People
 Nation of Law Breakers !?

m EPLYING to criticisms made by IN a local minister who charged that 90 per cent of the St. Louis police force was indifferent or an- tagonistic to prohibition enforce ment, Chairman Miller of the police board submitted statistics showing that in seven months the police force seized or confiscated 210 commer- cial stills, 200 homemade stills, 14,- 965 pounds of copper, 15,700 pounds of corn sugar, 295 five-gallon cans of corn whisky, 614 cases of beer, 1889 bottles of home breaw and 4,317 gallons of hard liquor. Bonded liquor turned over to the federal government was valued at $500,000.
 St. Louis is one of the country's largest cities and was formerly one of the greatest beer centers in the world, and while these figures would indicate that the police force has been reasonably diligent in carrying out the provisions of the prohibition law, in town of that size there must be many violators who are never caught, as well as thousands of gallons of contraband liquor that is not confiscated.
 As the Post Dispatch says, the police have made good record, ''but the private citizen of balanced mind can only read in this inventory a page of systematic lawlessness and ominous augury." Duplicate conditions in St. Louis in many other American cities, add to these viola tions the small-town bootlegger and the stills operated everywhere, and it is apparently that America is still undeniably wet.
