A DYING WOMAN'S ADMONITION
A Stmt tic* woman turned on the gas and died before her al
lotted years had run. She left a note for the world, bespeaking
kindlier treatment for sewing machine agents, whom she de
scribed as home-loving men of wholly human characteristics.
How quickly are we prone to set aside a class as sub-human.
Met a man the other day, for instance, who said he never had
heard of an honest newspaperman. Being a very ignor
ant man and always dripping with delight when his ears are
filled with the resonance of his own voice, he will repeat that re
mark in the course of a talkative life probably 10,000 times, and
it will be re-echoed by others just as ignorant. No doubt there
are sewing machine agents who have gentlemanly instincts and
affection for their families, hut all that the world sees is a mul
ish persistence supported by a ramshackle wagon hauled by an
underfed horse. Ilow many ever think of a sewing machine
agent’s babies? Or a subscription agent’s wife? Or the happy
home life of the insurance solicitor? The Seattle woman may 1
not have died in vain. Her pathetic appeal will soften the
hearts of a few anyway, and perhaps save the life of the very
next machine agent who claps a broad shoe down in the closing
door’s way. ... , -

i unites ism i playing a Heavy roie m war preparations, in
the selection of a site for an army cantonment at Chillicothe, O.,
the congressman there, H. C. Claypool, seems completely to have
been overlooked. lie might as well have been a pea in a bushel
of beans. Claypool is an outspoken anti-conscriptionist. The
first he knew of the choice was when the newspapermen told
him. Army officers were equally oblivious to the existence of
Claypool. They laconically said that the Chillicothe site looked
good to them, and they weren’t scrutinizing members of con
gress. Of course, we’re not going to have a war without poli
tics well saturating the mess, but we ought at least to have less
politics than we had before experience thumped our crazy
bones some thousands of times.
-:o:
There probably is no waste like the waste on dining cars,
and the attempt of the Lackawanna company to check it by
serving a “war menu” is a pleasing experiment. Dining car I
managers long have followed very strict rules to curtail waste
of foods by cooks and not an egg can escape the vigilance of the
inspecting forces. The waste has been in the unconsumed por
tions. Patrons have been served with too much—this is due to
the great American failing, namely, competition in damplilool
extravagance. '

Senator Benjamin F. Shively, of Indiana, died in March,
1916. The other day candy makers of many onto and
middle western cities became alarmed at the candy tax which
the senate then was indulging as a cud, so to speak, and forth
with they began wiring to Senator Shivley, somebody having
said that he was the candy kid of the candy committee. By and
by the cry spread until messages for Mr. Shively were being re
ceived from all over the country.

The Red Cross calls for backing—the only backing we can
give it—funds, your dollars and mine. What matter if we have
a few less dollars this week, and a few less luxuries? The blood
will be the richer and flow the more swiftly through our veins
from the lack of its necessities if that lack is occasioned by a
good, full sacrifice to the Red Cross. The campaign is on here.
Now is the time to show our true natures. Give and be satisfied.
-:o:
A New York woman has just won a verdict for $225,000 in
a breach of promise suit, which is ridiculous. It’s almost as in
decent as some of the alimony verdicts. There never was $225,
000 worth of love, chagrin and disappointment in a breach of
promise case.
—-:o:--—
Those who jumped to the conclusion before the count was
made that the country is lousy with slackers, have the oppor
tunity now of taking a reef in their pessimism. The country is
not full of slackers, but of a mighty sound patriotism.

“adequately discussed.” That sounds as vague, and perhaps
as doubtful a compliment, as the country correspondent’s as
sertion that “ample justice was done to the meal.”
-:o:
About the only thing one hears now above the drone of
summer business is the monontonous reiteration by the man
who wears his all summer and doesn’t mind ’em at all.
-:o:
Furthermore, if young Texans shall have no university of
their own, maybe the good old neighboring state of Arkansas
will admit them to its university.
--—:o:
Delay not. Give to the Red Cross forthwith. Make your
gift count by counting it out quickly and generously.

The yeast plant gave ten hundred to the Red Cross, but
you’d-a-sposed it would have been leaven.

The world cry for ships almost brings the salt water to
one’s eyes.

The Germans are still predicting a short war. They say it
will be over before the Americans can get to them.
-:o:-—
Whatever else the Russians do, we hope they w'ill refrain
from referring to our chief commissioner as Rootootsky.

Anyhow, ten million soldiers are some. And they are all
young in years and game in the pinches.
-:o:
Even if the anarchist outbreak in Petrograd was worse
than the one in New York, it w’asn’t any more disgraceful.
-:o:
The Liberty loan was just as near a billion dollars over
subscribed as was necessary to leave the right sort of a dent
where a dent ought to be made.
