STORMS AND
FLOODS CONTINUE
GREAT DISASTER TO LIFE AND
pRopERrY IN ln1ANors AND
INDIANA.

Chicago, April 17.-Storms and
floods unequiled in the last half
century swept Illinois and Indiana
today, caused hugh property loss
and devastated villages and farms.
A cyclone during the night killed
seven and injured thirty at Irving
ton, ILL.,, village of $50 population,
in the Illinois coal mining regions.
Nearly every building in the village
was demolished by the storm, ac-
cording reports brought out by train
men. The Illinois river reached the
highest stage in fifty years, flooding
nearly two hundred thousand acres
of fertile farm lands and causing in
tense suffering among families driv-
en- from their homes. Indiana rivers
running bankfull were further swol-
len by cloubburst over the central
part of the state today. In every
town along the Illinois river families
driven from their homes were camp
ed in tents on high ground. Heavy
rains and hailstorms last night and
today added to their misery. Danger
of disease from unsanitary condi-
tions was being fought by the health
authorities at Beardstown. Every
downtown building was flooded and
foundations were undermined by the
swift flowing water. Many homes
collapsed. The water reached such
a high stage that no further efforts
were made to check its mad rampage
through the city. Leyees protecting
valuable farm lands were breaking
all along the course of the river.

 When the trial is on and the tes- timony is given of the presence Of the accused in 2 certain place other than that In which tho deed was done, the prosecution cannot very well seek up witnesses 10 swear that the ac- cused vas not in that place, If the defendant swears he was in a certain lheater, and an alleged companion swcars he was with him there, the best the prosecution could do would be to produce witnesses who might be able 10 say only that they did not sec the accused in the theater at that time; they cannot swear he was not there. The prosecutions hands are thus tied.
 The defense of an alibi is n per- fectly proper defense, and through il a person unjustly accused may prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that he is innocent. But in forming an opin- ion as to the guilt or innocence of person accused Of a crime the nature of that defense must be remembered and due weight given to the situa- ton in which its interposition places the prosecution.

ARROR DAY

This is the day of making abstract ideas of practical value, Theories are being developed into realities founded
 on those theories. Practical things are
 being founded on ideas first conceived
 in sentiment carried on through the
 years by tradition and now becoming effective.
 When "Arbor Day" was instituted in Nebraska in 1872 there was un- doubtedly much sentiment in it's in- spiration, There was little fear, so long ago, that the practical value of its perpetuation would be seen. Grad ually there has grown among men of vision realization of the necessity of conserving the forests of the country and of replacing the trees constantly being consumed. Trees are needed for beauty, but those who deem beauty trivial thing should consider how absolutely trees are needed for use.
 The throwing of mantle of senti- ment about practical movement does not detract from the value of that movement. The fact that there are nature-lovers among the persons active in the attempt to make Arbor Day of universal observance should not keep practical men and women from assisting in emphasizing it's inn portance. President Harding has nam ed April 22 as "Arbor Day." The value, practically and artistically and of it's observance is to be taught. Those who look into the future and remember the past will CO., operate enthusiastically to make the day a success.

FORMER EMPEROR CHARLES

 man." and an enthusiastic motorist
 is dead. Former Emperor Charles of Austria has practically no other claims to greatness resultant from his own endeavors or character. After making the orthodox respectful bow in the presence of physical death one may be pardoned for the comment that all that was worthy of notice this man died when the
 final blow of the great war was struck. Only that which Austrian law had thrown about the man made him of importance to the world. He him. self, therefore was of importance only him physically from that mantle of heredity.
 That he struggled, hard to regain that prestige of tradition was due more to inordinate sense of blood than to strength of personality His plottings to regain the throne were doomed to failure as surely as the plan of the world is progress. Truly pity there should be for person as ignorant Of truth and right as was he, but a pity which is erased by the be- lief that probably he made no effort 70 see the suffering that would come Q the country which was his had his plans to regain power in 1t been sue ,essful The death of former Emperor Charles of Austria is another period o sentence in the story of the worlds progress.

Chicago Art Institute Cannot Begin To Furnish Sufficient Trained
 Men

Chicago, April 5. - The school O.
 the art institute of Chicago is "un. able to supply the demand for grad. uates trained in the industrial courses of it's normal department" according to institute officials. The demand is considered symptom of awakening interest in industrial art. Graduates go to positions carrying initial sala- ries of from S1,400 to $2,100 year Miss Mary Scovel is director of the department.
 Most of the courses are of recent origin. The course in weaving, be- lieved to be the only such course of fcred in a normal school of the mid- de west, was introduced this year in response to demand from the north west for teachers of weaving.
 The weaving course includes learn ing the different parts of the loom and making hooked and rag rugs Students also master the chemistry of dyeing and dye the products of their looms as well as weaving them.
 Other courses taught each having an enrolment of about 20 are toy making, jewelry, art metal work, pot tery, printing and lithography, cos tune design and interior decorating. Students prepare to teach all indus trial subjects regularly treated in public school system.

 The labor candidate asserts that Mir Quigley Is controlled by the very ones he is knocking. He takes the former mayor to task for not stop ping the practice of "blackl listing which he alleges Is going on in local industries.
 Mir. Gardiner's letter follows:
 ''I wish to ask through the medium of the Herald d few questions of the republican nominee for mayor, MT. Geo. A. Quigley.

 "Now, George: Were you sincere in your attack upon the J. Henry Roraback republican machine? or. were you play to the gallery? Were you sincere when you made your at- tack upon the manufacturers of this city? Or, were you trying to make yourself appear fine in the eyes of the labor element; I know what your answer will be.

"ALIBI" AS A DEFENSE.

The defense of an "alibi," used in criminal cases recently which attract ed the public attention. is one Of the most difficult defenses the prosecu- ,tion has to meet. Where there are no eye witnesses to crime, as usual iy is the case, and where circumstan- tial evidence has to be relied upon, the prosecution is practically helpless to meet the declaration that the ac- cused could not possibly have com- mitted the crime, if personal pres- ence was necessary for its perpetra- ton. such as in the case of murder by

AN INSULT TO GIRLS

A man with a prefix before his
 name which should donate decency
 if not higher quality declares that
 the "fapper" will be the cause of the
 next war. He then proceeds to de-
 nounce girlhood and young woman
 hood of this day.
 Possibly the fapper, usually inno-
 cent of all depravity except in the eyes of men and women who are look | ing for immortality and uncleanness because 1t serves their purpose to pre- tend to find it that they may denounce 1 it, may be the cause of a great war. Possibly the words spoken by men and women whose sole happiness rests l in consciousness of, their own recti- tude and damning of those who do not wear the sort of clothes they wear, enjoy the same sort of vilifica tion they enjoy, will stir up war that will indeed be war inspired by the young womanhood of the country.
 For men will stand a great deal as long as they alone are concerned. They will suffer often in silent protest the taking away from them of what they have believed always were their rights; they will not be moved to vio- fence by threats against their posses sions.

The right to protect women and children is the proudest possession of the real man. call upon that duty changes many man from a thoughtless, careless being in- to an averaging savage.
 If the grlhood of the land is the cause of a war it will be great war against all such as the man who uttered the gratuitous insult against girlhood and womanhood; war against reformers drunk with a con- sciousness of what they consider their own goodness. There is much to be criticised, perhaps, in present day dress, and one of the worst things about it is that it has given the chance to such men as the one here | to to gain cheap publicity | by insulting girls and young women with the probable rseult that the thanks offering" given him will be
