PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.

Eight Starving people have been
picked up in the streets of London dur
Ing the past few days and taken to
hospital. 1t is a biting commentary
on the age. London is the richest city
In the world; the machinery for re-.
lieving distress in this country is vast.

thought, acres of statistics, tons Of
Blue Books. Yet in deliunce--sO 1t
seems-of all this, certain human
pride prefers starvation, says the Lon
don Daily Express. No doubt this
weakness, in the ideal state of Mr.. and
Mrs. Sidney Webb, would he treated
as a monstrous and childish folly and
punished accordingly. But the cold
fact remains that our polished ma
chinery lacks just The note of human

MAIL CHRISTMAS PARCELS
EARLY SAYS P. M. GENERAL


Postmaster General Will H. Hays
believes that the public should do
its part toward making the post of
flee department efficient, and in this
regard asks that Christmas parcels
be mailed early-the earlier the bet
ter And he issues an appeal that
everyone use care in addressing
their parcels. A great deal of time
is lost through poorly addressed let
tiers and parcels being placed in the
mails, and especially so during the
rush of the Christmas season.
Postmaster Irwin has taken the
matter up with the schools and is
endeavoring to get as much public
ity as possible for the suggestion
The circular sent out is too lengthy
to nse in its entirety, but the sub
stance is mail your parcels early,
address them plainly and do your
part that they may be delivered
promptly"
The Department deserves this con-
sideration and after all you are
merely helping yourself.

The two chief obstacles In the path
Of those who would make the world
perfect are hate and envy. Hate and
envy are cardinal sins; hate and envy
are universal; hate and envy gum. up
the works every time an effort Is made
to abolish strife and persuade the
lamb TO lie down within the reach Of
the lions paw. Since these two sins
are so common and so hateful, II ap-
pears to a man up tree that some
effort should be made to abolish them,
says the Baltimore Sun. We have
leagues and societies and clubs and
organizations Of one sort and another
designed to abolish almost everything !;
why is no effort made to place these
two in the discard7 The answer is
simple. Hate and envy afford little
enjoyment.

While the victory was a great
thing for Chicago, II did not discour-
age the supporters OF Princeton as
far as the Harvard and Yale games
are concerned. In spite OF two sue
cessive defeats there Is no doubt
that the Tigers will face their chief
rivals with an eleven TO be feared.
