The Teheran Incident
(Springfield Republican)


To some extent adjustment of the
affair arising from the death of the
American vice consul at Teheran at
the hands of mob of religious
fanatics may be made more difficult
by the insulting attack upon Mrs.
lmbrie by a young Persian who
tried to tear her veil while she was
riding with another American wom-
an. The attack on Maj Imbrie was
ascribed to the mobs mistaking him
for a Persian of the Bahaist sect,
but the insult to his widow was pre-
Sumably personal. At the same
time 1t is necessary to consider
that the offense may have been the
act of a single irresponsible indivi-
dual and that no government can
under all circumstances prevent
such isolated outrages. Every
friendly government is bound to do
its best to prevent them and to visit
exemplary punishment upon the Of
tenders when they are caught as
well as to express regret and offer
reparation.
On the other hand there are times
when the embarrassment OF a we'll
meaning government should be
recognized and when foreigners
SnOulu GO IHelf part IOWdTU easing
its difficulties. If by going abroad
freely they are risking an unpleasant
incident it is the part of prudence
to keep indoors as much as pos
sible, and in particular to avoid go
ing where their protection by the
police is difficult. This point needs
some emphasis because 1t is quite
possible that the increasing unrest
of Asia may make things unpleasant
for foreigners in many countries
where the government is well dis
posed but unable always to control
popular feeling. One fanatical IN
dividual may in an instant make
lot of trouble. Our government will
do its best to protect American citi-
zens. but they in turn should do all
they can by tact and caution to pre-
vent incidents of this sort.

Gless Houses


When our teacher came to our school,
She did the queerest thing
She scolded at the names we had,
And would not let us sing
Until she changed them all around
To give them quite different sound.
Flossie Grey is Florence now,
And Mamie Beggs is Mae,
And Table Mills is Tabitha
And must be every day.
And even boys she named again,
Like Benjamin for little Ben.
And one day when our teacher said
Twas nothing less than shame
That one. should come so far along ~
With just baby name,
A visitor we didn't know
Came in and 'sprised our teacher so!
He stepped right up and kissed he,
cheek
And said. while passing through,
He found he had moments time
To stop to say. How do"
Then she cried. "Dad-kins" with g. hug
And he replied, "How's Daddy's Pug?'
