motion picture actress has turned her
thoughts to God will come as some
what of shock to her erstwhile COM
rades of the screen. But there comes
time in the life of most persons,
famous or not, when this happens.
Then there is nothing more natural
than to embody personal ideas of one
of mankind's ancient conceptions in a
book. 1t does the soul good and per-
chance may do some other soul good.
God in Hollywood is not as strange
as the idea may at first sound. In
little world mostly given over to the
physical expression Of emotions there
is place for Him. Perhaps a great
deal of the popular indignation over
some of the merely sensual pictures is
based squarely on this evident callous-
ness, for if the Creator is to mean
anything to men, He must be regarded
as moral instigator to greater right
eousness. When Hollywood, the place,
makes the same discovery that Miss
Pickford, the individual, evidently has
made, those who love the screen may
look forward to it coming into its own,
besides which the present prosperity
will be as nothing.

Alice in Wonderland.

Cable reports from England yes
terday told of the passing of Mrs.
Reginald G. Hargreaves, the original
Alice in Wonderland, and the news
must have brought personal sorrow
to thousands of Americans who ad-
mired and loved her for her inspira-
tional part in the writing of one of
the most widely famous classics of
modern times.
But it is not the Alice who tumbled
down the rabbit hole into celebrity
who has died and for whom multi
tude mourns. That Alice was the
creation of the imagination of Charles
Lutwidge Dodgson, born of the stuff
that dreams are made Of and des-
tined never to know either age or
termination-a spirit child exempt
from the blemish of a world almost
as mad as that behind the looking
glass and not nearly so attractive.
Dodgson, matter-o fact records tell,
was an oxford don assigned to teach
mathematics to boys who were more
deeply interested in cricket. His career
was commonplace and dull. But
there dwelt in his heart a whimsical
and impish impulse which a child
could and at least twice did summon
forth to amuse and delight mankind,
Juvenile and adult alike. A boating
excursion up the Thames with ten
year-old Alice and her sisters, the
daughters of Dean Liddell of Christ
Church College, started the "Ad-
ventures" and Alices subsequent re-
quest launched the companion volume.
The story of the work is almost as
romantic as the text itself, and Mrs.
Hargreaves treasured the memory to
the end.
Psychologists may wrestle with such
problems as they will, but few will
care what their findings may be. All
that really matters is perfectly plain.
1t is a principle of history that the
touch of a little hand, the sparkle OF
enthusiastic receptivity in youthful
eyes, has power to stir the genius OF
noble and richly developed souls.
Hence it is possible to understand
Dante, who laid at the feet of Beatrice
wreath of verse which centuries
cannot fade; Ibsen, whose later plays
were dedicated to a schoolgirl he met
on a holiday in Switzerland; Ruskin,
who wrote THE King of the Golden
River" for small scholar whose name
was Rose, and Hans Christian Ander-
sen, whose fairy tales were composed
in tribute to IAN ideal child friend"
With these Lewis Carroll belongs,
and as gratefully will be remembered.

No Lottery.

From the South Bend Tribune.
Veto of the municipal lottery bill by
Mayor F. H La Guardia Of New York
City makes him eligible for commenda-
ton. In view of the serious municipal
financial condition, Mayor La Guardia
was under heavy pressure to permit
his city to be the first to revive the
lottery system of government financ-
ing. Some interests that fear new
emergency taxation had put aside their
natural scruples against gambling and
supported the lottery legislation.
Mayor La Guardia, of course, does
not have to rely entirely on morality
and legality to justify his veto of that
measure. On the material side there
were strong arguments against it as
we'll as for it. 1t seemed certain that
much of the money raised by the lot
terry would have been diverted from
the city treasury. The sales and ad-
ministrative costs would have been
extremely high under the provisions
Of the resolution Mayor La Guardia,
however, found 1t necessary only to
announce that the measure probably
would have been declared unconsti-
tutional in the inevitable court test.
The lottery for Government sup
port was an institution in the early
years of this Nation. It became SO
disreputable in practice as well as in
theory that the American people dis
carded it century ago. Financial
conditions now are far from satisfac-
tory, but even if they were much worse
revival of the lottery would be danger
GUS and deplorable. The New York
City test had national import, because
approval of the scheme by Mayor La
Guardia undoubtedly would have en-
couraged lottery advocates in other
States and cities.

now. And, anyhow, unless he is elected
in 1896 he will find the Treasury as
bare as Mother Hubbard's cupboard
The Kingfish also says they will
have 100000 people in Louisiana
in few years. Now there is some
sense to that. OF course, he means
that most of these people will be
tourists. The people of the Al other
States, instead of going to see screen
travelogues and reading books treating
on the weird customs of the wild tribes
of Africa and Mongolia, will just buy
a ticket to Louisiana. They are already
getting curious. They want to see
what the people look like who would
elect the Kingfish to the United States
Senate. In fact, would go on safari
through Louisiana myself If I felt sure
1 could survive the diet of potlikker
and corn bread.

the entertainment of this vast horde

cellent start in the possession of the
funniest clown in the world.

1t was a little difficult to know just
what DR.. Tugwell had in mind for

mony before the Senate Committee
considering his appointment to be
Undersecretary. What he told the

japan Reviews Its Navy
From the Omaha Wor'd-Herald

From the Omaha Wor'd-Herald
With 25O,OOo japanese watch
and applauding, the imperial ma
of 180 warships was reviewed &
Osaka. AS a climax 1876 war planej
circled the field where 5000 sailors
marched past Prince Fushimi.
News dispatches spoke of the bar
against foreigners watching the
review, so great is Japan'S fear Of
spies. An official refused to let one
movie cameraman grind out his film
because America is Japan's poten-
tial enemy"
The ultimate purpose for all those
180 warships and 1876 planes and the
men who man them is to fight in
battle No doubt the hundreds of
thousands of Japanese who watched
the maneuvers were patriotically
thrilled by the spectacle, as people
of every land thrill to marching men,
steaming battleships, roaring planes
and the pomp and panopiy of war.
Yet much safer from the threat Of
war would be those cheering people
If the fleet were not so large, the
planes not so many, and pompous
little officials not so quick to single
out any friendly nation as a "po-
tential enemy" For Japan has no
more menacing enemies than those
leaders of its militaristic clique who
burden the people with the costs of
armament, who lead them into
strange adventures in the Far East,
who prepare them by suggestion and
by foolish talk for the next war.

Alma Mater.

Those interested in education in all
its forms will welcome the knowledge
that attendance at private schools
throughout the Nation increased al
most 9 per cent in 1884 over 1888.
This is as it should be. Private
schools of all types are an integral
part of the educational system. In
this system they compare somewhat
with the position of jewelry stores in
general business The jeweler is one
of the first to suffer loss in a time of
financial depression and one of the
sloweSt to pick up again.
The boarding schools of the coun-
try have an old and established place
in the educational order. The need
they meet is large one, and uni
versal, so that there is no part of the
country without its quota of interest
ing institutions of this kind.
The National Capital shares in this
good fortune, its many private educa-
tional establishments rivaling the
public schools, and attracting to
Washington hundreds of young per-
sons, especially young women, from
all parts of the Union, the Territories
and many far nations of the earth.
The beauty of the city, its cleanli-
ness and its freely offered educational
advantages, together with the fact
that it is the seat of Government in
peculiarly interesting times, all these
factors offer the students here, in all
types of educational institutions, many
advantages.
Not the least of these advantages is
the inescapable memory of the city
which enters into the hearts and
minds of the young people, never after
to leave, no matter where they go, or
to what opportunities later life may
bring them. The city itself is lovely
alma mater.
