Bismarck Remembered
elders
~, "a, Z; -, 4. 81: :

An incident in the life of Bismarck
is being recalled by the appearance in
the makers of shirt that is adver-
tise as one scientifically built for
comfort. Its distinguishing mark is
having the right sleeve an inch shorter
than the other. This difference in
the sleeve-length was an accident in
the filling of an order for dozen
custom-made shirts that were sent to
Prince Bismarck fifty years ago. OF
course his wife soon discovered the
discrepancy and at once notified the
shirt maker. He wrote of his entire
willingness to have the consignment
returned but in the meantime Bis
marck had found singular comfort
in the shortness of his right sleeve
which in writing did not let the cuff
work out beneath his coat sleeve. He
Immediately wrote the discomfitted
tailor that 1.-The error is blessing in
disguise. 1t ought to meet with gen
eral approval" So now when com
fort is paramount consideration in
dress, we have the Bismarck shirt on
sale at the smart haberdasheries.
Non-Negot1ab Die Loot
There are always thieves in the
world who seem to steal rather by
instinct than for profit, but it is puz-
cling why number of thieves should
conspire together to take great
chances to steal high-priced articles
such as masterpieces of painting or
of tapestry or registered picture
films, such as were taken last week in
daylight on Broadway, New York City
having an exhibiting value of S1.000,-
900, and impossible of any use to the
robbers without certain detection. A
bold but dangerous ransom scheme
is about the only possible chance for
them to realize any return on their
gamble. There .seem to be crooks
who delight in this narrow margin of
safety, as there are those who dare
physical stunts for such little re-
enumeration, placing their lives in the
balance. Sure, the ways of men are
passing strange.
Another Harbor Statue
Our Statue of Liberty will soon
lose some of it's distinctive greatness
if plans of other nations are carried
out as begun, not that any of them
will compare in meaning with the
Bartholdi statue, which besides it's
suggestion of the great principle
which inspired and perpetuates our
nations, stands for the spirit of
friendship between two great ma
tions. But in the imposing pres
entation of great figure standing
cut in large world harbor, the Scotch
will have Robert Burns at the mouth
of the Clyde and the Russians will
have Lenine in colossal size erected
of stone and bronze at high and
conspicuous point overlooking Vladi-
vostok Bay and with outstretched arm
pointing the way to soviet Russia
which they hold to be the land of
social. Industrial and political equa-
ly. This monument will be visible to
ships fifty miles out at sea, and greet
ing all Russia bound travellers from
the Pacific side.
Late Recognition
After so long a time the statue of
DR.. Crawford Long of Georgia will be
dedicated with unwilling ceremonies
in the national hall of fame in the
capitol building in Washington, on
March 20. His claim to greatness as
all the world knows with comfort was

Prussian Morals

A bill has been introduced in the
Prussian diet that will abolish the
prevalent nudity of musical come
edies and revue and further will curb
the sale of racy records for the pho
nograph. These things constitute an
extraordinary danger to the public
and moral life and have no relation to
art says the promoter. of the bill, and
is especially demoralizing to Prussian
youth. The fact that these offerings
can reach the rural youth in these
days as easily as those who are city
bred means that much swifter deca-
dence of public standards and senti-

London hotels are expected to fur
nish cup of tea to guests in bed just
before rising Discovering that Amer
lean patrons do not relish this cour-
teous offering, they have hit on a
plan to serve them with orange juice
or grapes juice instead, Since this
custom of taking fruit or fruit juices
as the first food of the day has n.y.
gienic value, it is quite likely that
the American guests will find the
custom most acceptable.

the discovery of anathesia for use in
operations. Although there has never
been a question raised in Georgia as
to DIR. Longs rightful recognition as
the first of two of her illustrious sons
to be thus honored, there has been an
almost shameful delay in executing
this purpose, and the question OF pro-
viding funds almost embarrassing to
those who were most intimately inter-
ested in paying this honor. Though
the statue is presented in the name
of Georgia, the fact is that the
Legislature of Georgia did not
appropriate one cent for the monu-
ment which cost $4,000, because of
the technical point that it would be
illegal for the state to pay for mon
ument that would be erected outside
the boundaries of the state. OF
course, other states did that but it
was up to memorial association to
organize and raise the money which
they did. At the unwilling exercises

no other time are so many many war
mutilated victims seen at one time.
The blind veterans have the special
concession to ride free in all public
conveyances. Their permits are is

ing its way in and out of the perfec-
ture headquarters without deep sad

Death Knell of the Trolley

With the merging of the Fifth
Avenue Coach Company of New
York City and the New York Railway
Corporation which runs most of the
city's surface street car lines into
one New York omnibus corporation,
is seen the probable displacement of
present street car operations in that
big city. The city council of New
York City had already decided on
extended lines and franchises for the
operation of the double-decked
buses now used exclusively on Fifth
Avenue and Riverside Drive. The
new concern offers to motoriZe thir-
teen new routes some already having
the street car service, all within 80
days and to extend the bus service
wherever the street car service has
operated just as quickly as possible.
This change would take out 25 miles
of tracks and take off 200 street cars
Immediately. A sort of checker
board plan of coming with five and
ten cent fares, and concessions in
in transfers would be instituted
so that the public will hardly
have any reason to object. There is
also stipulation to allow the city to
purchase the bus lines if so desired
after five years operation under this
franchise. There will be need of
21O double-decked cos i?o. and
POP single-decked coac;,c- % ham
die the traffic now taken care ii by
the surface street car.

Reporters Rush

There is no little danger risked by
reporters as we'll as camera men who
crowd into the thickest of the fray to
get the inside of the story when riots,
raids and other disturbances are in
progress Their zeal frequently gives
them every appearance of partici-
pants to police or combatants, A ride
to the police station would be the
least of worries as they could soon be
eXtricated from that dilemma, but to
be separated from their chance of a
story would be different and Il
broken head or other physical damage
would be something else again, SO in
respect to their protests over their
rough treatment by the police, es-
pecially in the streets Of Paris, plan
of an identification badge for re-
porters is to be tried. This will be a
small affair OF blue enamel with red
and gilt inscription and will be issued
by the police department.

Too Many Prisoners

Too Many Prisoners
To say we have too few penal in
stitutions is hard to admit but the
fact is that three federal prisons are
so overrun that LOO county and
state jails are pressed into service to
take care of them while at times the
local needs Of these places make the
federal prisoners great burden. The
expense to the federal government is
greatly increased not only by the
larger boarding fee demanded by
these extra detention places, but the
cost of transporting prisoners about
from one place to another is a large
item. A woman's federal prison will
soon take few hundred inmates
of the presently overcrowded federal
| prisons in different sections but will
fall very short of relieving the situa-
| ton We may as government just
as well admit the imperative need of
more prisons and go about building
them. especially in the face of u grow
sentiment that more jail sentences
and fewer fines would work a bene-
fit in public morals. Fines for price
fixing, fines for Bookkeeping and fines
for speeding are to all intents a IL
cense and allowed for in the calcula-
tions of habitual offenders. Laws to
| prohibit must lay the penalty on the
particular culprit, and not allow a
ring of law-breakers to get Off so
easily, by sharing in the the costs.
/ Hence better law enforcement means
more Jail capacity, fewer fines and
| fewer paroles.

Apply Bonus System
to Preachers; Will
Hays Bright Idea

NEW YORK, June 22.-Nation-wide
plans to raise $15,O00,0O0 to establish
a pension fund system in the Presby-
terian church have been announced
by Will H. Hayes, famous republican
party machine politician and now
"czar of the movie trust"-also chair
man of the laymen's committee OF the
Presbyterian church.
But it is not to be all velvet for the
antiquated brethren; they have to do
something to get it. First they have
to live long time, for 65 years; then
thes have to be good boys for S5 years
of that, turning out Christians like
sausages at Swift's; besides, they have
to pay into the fund "a per cent OF
their salaries. This may interfere
with them living for 65 years, but it is
in Hayes plan.
"The whole plan," says Hayes, sis
an excellent business arrangement
which will renew the virility of the
church"

Naturalization of
Mines Needed, Says
Congressman of N. Y,

WASHINGTON, June 22.-During a
debate in the house in criticism OF
the failure of the administration fore
es to report coal control bill from
the interstate commerce committee, as
pledged April 27 by Chairman Park
er, Rep. LaGuardia of New York de-
clared naturalization of coal was
necessary.
81 do not believe regulation will be
enough" he said. II believe the coal
industry ought to be nationalized. All
coal mines ought to be owned and op-
Grated by the government. l realize
that / am bit ahead of some of my
colleagues and that my stand may
seem radical today, yet l can remem-
Der when water was sold by private
companies, and to advocate municipal
swnership of waterworks was also
considered radical"
He described the naturalization
plan reported by the anthracite min
ers in 1918, which provided that 6 per
cent bonds be substituted for out
standing capital stock of anthracite
companies, and in so years the whole
cost could be retired at a charge OF
2S cents on each ton of coal. In the
past 10 years the anthracite com
panies have pumped $2O0,OO0,00O OF
water into their capital stock, and
now are preparing to pump a further

Socialist Party Head
Refuses to Enter Into
a Free Speech Fight

BOSTON, June 22.-In reply to a
letter from the Workers (Communist)
Party inviting the socialist party of
New England to cooperate in a free
speech demonstration on the Boston
Commons on July 4, Alfred Baker
Lewis, the district secretary, says; Il
do not think that the comrades will
cooperate with the Workers Party in
any way"
In view of the fact that Mayor Mich
OILS and the reactionary forces of Bos-
ton have practically closed all meet
ing halls to organizations of radical
character, this refusal constitutes a
direct encouragement TO these black
forces to continue their dastardly
work.
The letter states that the entire
matter will come up before Boston
Central Branch at its next meeting.
II will then be seen whether the so
cialist party will take the opportunity
to do anything at all to fight the reac'
tIonary regime which has been estab.
lshed in the city of Boston. Rank
and fle members OF the socialist party
should see TO Il that their organization
Is not led into a policy which will in
evitably encourage reaction 10 con-

Coolidge Favorsa
Separation Scheme
Against Filipinos

WASHINGTON, June 22-President
Coolidge is inclined to favor the en-.
actment of the Bacon bill, framed by
Gen. Leonard Wood, to divide the
Philippine Islands thru creation Of a
purely colonial government for the
Moro provinces. The purpose Of the
Wood-Bacon scheme is understood to
be the blocking of the fneeing OF the
Islands from American Tule. There
may be enough in the next senate
and possibly in the house, to enact a
law to liberate the Philippines. Wood
is trying to divert attention from the
main issue to a counter-proposal.
Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, command
er in chief of the army of the con
quered Philippine republic OF 1898
1901, has cabled a protest against the
bill, altho recently he had been listed
as a friend of Wood and a luke-warn
supporter Of the independence move
ment.
