MHAr IS ssa. .oooo

,t would cost SS5, ,o00 to eliminate the Clayton crossing, is the estimate of the railroad officials. Awful The road is in mo position" to pay any such amount, cry the said officials
 The other day a jury awarded an actress s25000 for an injury alleged to have been sustained by fall on some stairs claimed to have been de- fectivo. Many thought the verdict was small in view of the character of the injury.
 There are many cases on record where greater sums have been award ed persons for injuries the effects of which would be permanent. Large verdicts have been given claimants for the loss of the life of husband or wife because of the negligence of someone,
 What have the lives which have been lost at the Clayton crossing been worth? What damages should be given those who have tried to he careful but who have been injured at thet cruelty dangerous place?
 If the railroads engineer were neg iigent iii approaching that crossing + the persons whose duty t is to give warning of the approach of the train, by whistle or otherwise, were neg ligent and if a person were killed thera without fault on hls part, the railroad would be forced by the courts to pay damages for such death-and they well might go over ss5.ooo.
 The railroad should be forced to put itself in 'the position" to pay that sS5,000 to eliminate that Clay ton crossing. The estimate is high the value of human life cannot be estimated.

CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES.

Numerous claims against the city are being presented. An effort is being made to classify them. Some are urging that one character of claims should not be paid, such as claims for damage to automobiles because of defective pavements, stones on the streets, and so forth.
 There is but one proper course to take in regard to claims against the city, It is the course every great corporation takes. It is the course any good lawyer will advise.
 Each claim must be examined sep arately by the Corporation Counsel. If he advises settlement, settlement should be made, The matter should not be referred to a layman or a body of laymen. The only question to de- eide in regard to the advisability of settling q claim is whether or not judgment would probably be obtained III court OI ldNt anu Ill CdSt SUCH judgment would be obtained a settle ment out of court is preferable. No fear of any precedent being estab- lished need be held, No precedent is established except where claim arises uader exactly similar circum- stances-and the cases where the cir cumstances do not differ one case from another, are extremely few. almost unheard of. A lawyer or a body of lawyers are the only persons fitted to decide these matters. The opinion of those not learned in the law merely confuse the issue. Each case stands on it's own merits, unless the "city fathers" as in case re- gently where a man would have been entitled to relief under a special stat ute had he been injured week or so later than he was hurt, desire to dis regard technicalities and aid the in- jured man.
 Great lawyers are paid large sal- aries annually merely to hear the facts of a case of claim against the corporation which employs them and advise settlement or fight. The ad- vice of the city's legal counsel in such matters should be supreme.

DOOMED "SCRAPPERS".

It is sad to have to declare that two worthy young gentlemen are doomed to failure in their chosen profession. It is tragedy to be compelled to write failure" after the names of two sturdy young men be- fore their life work is fairly begun But such is the fate of the well known Kid kaplan, who has been achiev- ing notable successes with his fists. and former young army officer, named Earl Baird, who is reputed to be rather clever with the same DOT tions of his anatomy.
 For both Mir. kaplan and MT. Baird seem to lack the prime requisite necessary for successful pugilist. Each has courage, each is said to possess the punch, supposed to be a necessity for men in this romantic and elevating profession. Both, it is said, know how to handle those pun ishment dealing fists very well indeed. It is said their appetites are good and that they have proper respect for publicity. It is said they are able to assimiate punishment and to smile when another's fist comes in conta violently with their faces, But there is something sadly lacking il their characters-something which is the sine qua non of present day cham pion.
 One Connie Lewis" who euaran- teed the young gentlemen a certain amount of filthy lucre when they last met and displayed their prowess against each other, is said to have lost money on the affair. The said young gentlemen are now reported to have offered to take less money than they were promised, thus saving Connie" from at least part of his loss. And so it must be said, sadly, pathetically that neither of the young pugilists will ever reach the top of his profession. A champion of today who would give up some money that he might claim? In the words of the great philosophers, They ain't no such animal"

ASK RECOGNITION
 FOR SOUTH CHINA
Former Representative at Wash
 ington Gives Reasons

Canton, South China, June 4 (By Associated Press Staff Correspondent by mail)-The former Chinese minis ter at Washington, Wu-Tingfang, re- ceived today the correspondent of the Associated Press and set forth the reasons why he believed the powers should recognize South China. He presented the cause of the Chinese republic in this regard during a long interview in which he explained also the vital differences between the Sun Yat Sen and Chen Chung ming, and dwet upon China's financial difficult ties
 Dr. Wu, who is now the civil gov- ernor of Kvangtung province under the Southern government, received the correspondent in his Canton office. He answered every question asked him
 with great care, and was interested in seeing that his answer was correctly transcribed.
 For nearly five years South China has been practically independent and | for about two years we have been eX-
 isting as the Republic Of China Dr.
 Wu said During all this time we
 have been running our government
 without assistance from the outside
 world. and the outside world is not
 going to help us until we gain some form of recognition.
 How are we going to build up &
 modern government without being able to contract loans and without being able to make treaties; in other words, without recognition by the
 other governments in the world? We are so handicapped that we are all most powerless, and if we continue to sit and wait we will be waiting until doomsday We must force the powers to recognize us As soon as they do this civil war will stop, and the peo- | pie of kwangtung and South China
 will set up a model government. I At present we are in reality de- facto government" pr. Wu continued. For months. this government has been fnnctioning perfectly. During all ' this time we have been dealing with other governments, although unoffi- cialy. I am addressed as Governor by the foreign officials of other gov ernments in this part of China We are constantly dealing, unofficially, with consular and other officials of foreign countries as though we were la permanent government. After the overthrow of the Manchu Dynasty the newly established government ex- isted for only T. months before it was recognized. Much longer than this have we been proving ourselves Able to run stable government, but due to the continuous counter efforts of the Picking government, we are still unrecogrized.

 Tho suggestion of the President they are sick of the strike, That the miners themselves, or many Of then are ready to work, Is quite probable That the leaders are ready to let them work Is more doubtful
 It is said that many of the union mmers are working Tn non-unon fields at present. There they work six days week where many of them worked but two or three days q week in the union fields. This Is the trouble that the arbitration commis- sion," If 1t Is a real commission, should concern itself with Non union work pays better, has paid bet ter and pays more regularly than union work, since the union fields have been over-crowded-too many mines, too many workmen. The same old trouble will come just as long as there are too many mines and too many workmen. The mines should not be owned and operated by the government, but they should be reg ulated by the government. Would-he operators should be prevented from exploiting the mines as would-be workers should be prevented from crowding the field It is not possible or desirable to curtai mems liberty tto the extent of preventing them from seeking work in the mines. It is pos sible, and 1t is necessary, to curlail the financial schemes of operators 10 the end that there will not be a great number of partially worked mines. Stop the development of mining prop critics which are not needed; have needed mines worked to full capacity, and the number of workers in the mines will regulate itself.
 The Presidents plan for a commis- s.on--the obvious plan, of course-- would work out well if the commits sion goes into the heart of the matter and effects complete reorganization of the industry for which no better time could be selected than the pres cnt.

OPPOSING LODGE EFT AL.

Sherman L. Whipple, of Boston, announced candidate for the Demo- cratic nomination for United States Senator "to contest the reelection of Senator Lodge" says something per- tinent regarding the Senator who is thought to have such a large follow- ing in Massachusetts. By inference his remarks apply also to his demo- cratic rival for the nomination, Will liam A. Gaston.
 After declaring that Senator Lodge has been leading backward to the old days, and not forward, MT. Whip pie remarks: "The people have re- fused to be led back. They insist upon going forward. Hence the re- volt, the confusion, the unrest the bitterness, the resentment, the crying sense of injustice. Hence the defeat of the Republican leaders that seems to puzzle them so"
 Few realize the force of pom derous wave except those who suffer directly from it. Sometimes even they have to have several experiences with similar waves to come 'to the conclusion that they are practically irresistible. The great wave against the "od guard" started long ago. It is just beginning to be felt its power seen. Even now those who have watched the wave, and who have not suffered personally from it, do not fear similar waves to any great ex- tent. It is inconceivable, to some, despite the cases of Indiana Iowa and Pennsylvania and other evil dences, that such a wave against the old guard could engulf such a man as Senator Lodge, erudite, powerful but possibly the most perfect person. iflcation of the old guard now eXtant. But there is a belief that even Sen ator Lodge might possibly need more than an inexpensive raincoat to escape the wetting threatened by this same wave.

EMPLOYMENT GAINS.

In considering the employment gains as reported from Washington, one would do well to consider Roger Babson's words about increased eff aiency. The Washington report says: 1.-The country is steadily but surely forging its way toward period of industrial prosperity in which it is possible that the labor supply will not equal the demand. As contrasted with opinion six months ago, a note of optimism pervades practically every industry in every section of the country"
 Increased employment, of course, means that more people will get money, in wages and salaries. with which to buy life's necessities and comforts. On the face of things it would seem that that production

Thin and Emaciated Children Trek king Back to old Homes in Russia.

Saratoff, Russia July 11.-Thin but sunburned little groups of ragged children and adults who fled from the hunger death of the Noga last autumn to provinces that promised bread, are now trekking back to the homes they deserted
 Daily they arrive at Saratoff, Sa- mara, Kazan and other railway junc- ton points in the famine belt. Some of them are in worse shape than when they departed. They found other provinces inhospitable and food scarce everywhere.

 Then, it was remembered that the day was the birthday of Princess 1lena, and she was offered a horse which she selected and accepted Fin ally, it seemed ungraceful not to of- fer a horse to the queen, who is a splendid horsewoman, and this offer she accepted. Had the king been present, doubtless he would have been offered the two remaining horses.

Because Of this miracle they believe
that they can do the same thing al
most any afternoon they gather

not a mere successful song. 1t means
that the sales must amount to more

Lapses for the past period are less
than they have been for several years
and we are very glad to know this,
for Indiana posts have worked hard
this past due collection time, and their
efforts show in the following figures:
July, 1921, lapses were 592, or 5.3S per

or 5.53 per cent; July. 1922 lapses were
532, or All per cent.
Now that elections are over, and the
time of year has arrived when every
one will feel like work, let US all get
busy and everyone secure one or more
new members, and boost the 7. P. a

Let US iron out all the rough places
and let US work arm in arm, shoulde!
