STABBED by
FIGHTER
One of Two Street Duelists
Escapes Wounded
After Row.

Patrolman NJ. s. Arnett narrowly
escaped with his own life, receiving a
knife wound on the back of his left
hand, when the two participants in
fight at Travis and Jefferson streets
Wednesday morning, turned on the Of
ficer as he sought to quell the dis
turbance.
An old grudge led to the fight, &C.
cording to information given police.
The men were fighting it out. one
armed with pocket knife and the
other with an automobile pump, when
Patrolman Arnett reached the scene.
The pump wielder, who escaped and
still is at large, is believed to be seri-
ously wounded. He sought to have
his wounds dressed at the Lanier drug
store, but left when advised to 90 to
hospital.
ENTERS FRAY.
Standing at Navarro and Houston
| the officers attention was attracted by
the noise from the corner, a block be-
low. He could see the struggling fig
ures as he cut across an automobile
parking lot to reach them.
Angered and drunk, the two turned
on the patrolman as he grappled with
them. He seized one of the pair.
This action left the second fighter
free and he closed in on the policeman
and his opponent, slashing wildly.
With the blood rushing from the
chance wound, Patrolman Arnett mo-
mentarily released his hold to turn
his attention to his second assailant.
As soon as he did, the first man
wounded in the neck, jumped into au
automobile and fled.
AID ARRIVES.
The officer, who is one Of the
largest men on the force, bore his op-
ponent, equally as large, to the ground.
With his left hand virtually useless,
he finally disarmed the man.
Patrolman Saladino was attracted
from his nearby beat and notified po-
lice headquarters. Captain Moglia, De-
tectives Golf and Bradshaw and Emer-
gency Officer Grove responded.
Arnett was taken to the Robert ,B.
Green Hospital in the emergency car,
while Detectives Golf and Bradshaw
took his assailant to Jail.
The wounded officer returned to his
beat after his wound had been dressed.
while the other officers continued their
search for the second man.

TRIES TO LEAVE.

A similar case, where a husband is
alleged to have kept his wife prisoner,
without food, for three days. in an
effort to force her to live with him,
was reported to Sheriff Stevens last
Saturday.
Because Of her husbands threats,
the woman said, she has been trying
to leave him. But every time she
sought to make her escape, she said,
she was met with the threatening pis-
toll. She was virtually kept prisoner,
she claims, most of the time without
food.
When the neighbor discovered her
plight, and attempted to smuggle food
TO her, the woman claims, her husband
became infatuated and threatened to
kill her.

READY TO DIE.

Threatened with the officers, the
wife says. her husband declared he
was -ready to die" and did not fear

Two days ago the woman, accom-
panied by her neighbor, started to
Gonzales. The husband followed in
another car and his family was forced
to take refuge with a gang of road
builders.
Tuesday night be slipped back into
his home and lay in wait for the
neighbor woman. 1t was then that
the wife ran to a telephone and called
the sheriff's department.
The arrest was made Wednesday.

land could not have honorably stayed out Of the
war, in view of her treaty obligations, and from
the moment she entered the war the very life of
the nation was at stake.
Before Americas entry into the war the out
put of her manufactures and farms and the as
sistance of American financiers was a large fac
tor in the effort of the allies. Without that help
the cause of the allies would probably have been
lost, certainly without this assistance plus the
later military effort in the war it would have
BEEN
At the end of the war the United States asked
nothing except a treaty which would give some
assurance of permanent peace and stability in
Europe. Great Britain and other European pow
ers asked and received large territorial %acquisi
tions and indemnities. Germany, the most for
midable trade competitor of England before the
war, had been rendered helpless. 1t Is true that
fort involved made this contamination of little
value; still that objective on the part of both
France and England was attained.

High Jobs, Low Pay

Three states, New Hampshire, Vermont and
South Dakota, pay their governors three thous-
and dollars. 1t is not high pay for a man holding
the highest office in his state. For any man in
high office is subjected TO a most serious drain
upon his financies by the opportunities to con
tribute TO every sort of drive, worthy cause and
unworthy, cause. ~
A former government employe holding a rath.
er important position has told how before he
realized what he was doing, he had, in subscrip-
lions, contributing to every cause whose solic-
itors appealed to him., used half of his salary. "A
public man is asked to contribute not merely for
the sake of the money he donates, but for the in
fluence of his name.
Three states pay their governors four thous-
and dollars, big Texas, and little Delaware and
Wyoming, big in area and small in population.
ZAP Smith, governor of the biggest and richest
state, gets ten thousand, while the next largest
and richest state, Pennsylvania, pays eighteen
thousand and the third in both of these particu.
lars, Illinois, pays twelve thousand. Even the
higher paid governors experience such demands
upon their pocket books for the incessant con
tributions already mentioned, and for the enter.
tanning they have to do, and the assessments for
party purposes, that it is by no means a profit
able job.
Now and then someone speaks of a politician
seeking office for the money there is In 1t. This
is seldom true of an elective office. A frugal man
who can manage to stay in congress-, say after
he has paid the expenses of his first campaign,
regards his as a good and we'll paying Job. If he
learns how to Withstand the assaults of solicit
os he can lay aside money. But it is something
of a mans job to keep the solicitors at bay and
in these days of incessant drives. perpetual de.
mands for doles, il is a difficult thing for an of
flee holder to get much more than his board and
clothes and, except that the board and clothes
are reasonably good, he might also as well be n
bound boy.

Allied Debts

The former parliamentary secretary TO LLOYD
George, Sir Leo Money, has an article in the Lon
don Daily News, in which he declares that the
United States is playing the role of Shylock in
demanding repayment of the loans made to Eu-
ropean governments during the World war. He
argues that war obligations ought to be pooled
among the victorious powers involved, and points
10 the larger sacrifices made by Great Britain
and other of the allies as compared with the
United tates as a consideration which should
weigh heavily in the settlement of this question.
This writer, along with others who contend
in favor Of the reputation of definite Internal
1onal obligations, overlooks some important
phases of this question. The United States had no
part in the creation Of the European conditions
which brought about the war. 1t was the result
IS Of European riyalries and conflicts in which
this country had no interest. Few of the Euro
pean governments involved in the war had any
opportunity Of choice as TO participation. Their
vital interests were involved from the begin.

central powers, and disaster in Tcutonic vic.

New Course of Instruction

At last, and with all the fancy work and use
less courses of instruction that has been added TO
the curriculum of the schools of the land, a new
course of study has been added in some schools
that bears the merit of good sense. The subject
referred te is How TO Dodge Automobiles" 1t is
a study subject growing out of twentieth century
necessity and no one will deny its practicability.
1t is reasoned that there is little use in start
ing out TO accumulate an expensive education,
if the budding genius is not informed of the
Ways and means of protecting his learning and
5pcidentally his life.
- There should be in addition, a system of night
schools for the instruction of adults in the same

learning, will one day supplant the higher
branches now taught by professors in football

Dirty Looks y

A California court is at present wrestling
with the question-can n dirty look cause
mental anguish? 1t grows out of a divorce case
in which a fair plaintiff sets it up in her petit
lion, with the design of dissolving the marital
bonds that attach her TO a husband who has
shown himself so cruel and inhuman as to prof
Get at her glances of the character she so de-
scribes.
On occasions of domestic dissention the plain
tiff asserts that the defendant simply glared at
her-glared and glared and glarcd, until she was
frozen with fear and trembled with terror. Fin
ally he glared her out of the house and she was
compelled to 20 and live with a sister. From time
TO time he glared at guests within the home I'M
til they too became uneasy and took offense and
departed from such doubtful hospitality.
These things all contributed to a state of mind
On the plaintiffs part that amounted to that de-
gree of mental anguish contemplated by the code
as meriting a divorce and alimony for the suf.
fering endured.
The problem for the court to solve is whether
o dirty look -unaccompanied by physical abuse
or cruel and unusual punishment of other kind
supplies sufficient ground under the law to
grant the plaintiff relief from the dirty locker.

we do not propose to let the standards of living

The Fountain Of Youth

10 i7 " 1 thlth lVt oids
1t is to grow older. At first thought this sug-
gestion may seem somewhat meaningless, but it
isn't. 1t is this very capacity for growing older
which adds such a charm, such a usefulness,
to childhood. There awaits the child n boundless
sea of experience upon which it longs to enter.
So vast, so varied is that sea that time never
passes quickly enough, so eager is the child TO
grow up and meet those experiences. Most peo-
pie of mature years can recall those radiant days
of childhood, so full of eagerness, so full of
dreams-the day which Robert Louis Stevenson
sang about when he wrote:
OUer the hills and far d1dy
A little boy steals from his morning play,
And under the ~blossoming apple tree
He lies and dreams Of the things to be,
OF battles fought and of pictories iron,
OF trrongs o'erthroDn and of great deeds done
OF the udlor that he shall prore some day.,
.Ouer the hills and far dudy,
Ouer the hills and far dtcdy.
But to many the remembrance brings with
it a certain sadness, for they find themselves con
t~rasting wbat life has really brought forth for
them, with what they dreamed in those childhood
days. Rarely if ever do the dreams come true.
The poet Hood touches upon a very common ex
perience when he writes:
/ renem Der, I remember
The fir trees dark and high, -.
I used to think their slender tops
We're close against the SKY.
1t ods a childish ignorance
But nofc It's little joy
To knotc I'm farther off from hedpen
Than tohen l tcds a boy.
Such experience is a common one, simply be-
cause most people lose the capacity for growing
older. Those who are able to retain this capacity
keep also their youthfulness to the end. 1t is pos
sible that out of this capacity has sprung the
saying: "Those whom the gods love die young
We have doubted if this expression was meant
to apply altogether to the young in years, but
rather to those young in spirit, young in capac.
ity for growth, young in a capability for reach
ing out to new and better experiences though the
weight of years be upon them.
The wise man of the Proverbs has written
thus: "The path of the righteous is as the dawn
ing light that shineth more and more unto the
perfect day"
This is the wise mans way of saying that the
righteous man is always growing older and
never ceases to grow until the perfect day shall
appear in all its s%plendor.
