From n literary point or view it la t great pity that Vletor Hugo never taw an American tornado. lVrhapa M ih Alfred G Wynne Van derbilt doesn’t like a husband who cornea In every night smelling horsy. You can’t always tell. Sometimes a man who boasts that he never worries Is being supi>orted by his wife or her relatives. The Cornell co-ed who won the col lege oratorical prize spoke on ’M en, Women and Human Beings.” This bits the most of us. According to the Atlanta Georgian, TOO churches have been found with In adequate fire escapes. Still, that may not be the reason why so many men stay away from the services. The discovery that that “tired feel ing” is hereditary leaves very little that has not been charged up to our dead and gone ancestors who have no chance to say a word in self-defense. Mr. Bryan predicts that Ireland will regain her freedom. The London Times will at once divide that Km|*er- or W illiam has been egging Mr. Bryan on to try to make trouble for England. The mandate having Issued that women must wear flower hats this year, the lady milliners will now show Dame Nature a few of the opportuni ties she overlooked In creating the floral kingdom. A number of young men in Kentucky have formed a club to abjure smoking, swearing, chewing and drinking, if. in addition, they cut out night riding, they may become models for their fel low citizens. “Uncle Sam's arruada ls a success." says thè St. Louis Globe-Democrat. “and all thè more because ita inissimi Is friendly to all other nations.” Bure. Also because its target practice at Mag- dalena Bay shows how we behave when we get nngry. It Is alleged that the Illinois Central Railroad Company has cheated the State of Illinois out of $15.000,(Mi. If the charge is true the outrage can nev er lie forgiven. Illinois might with that money have Ixuicht dukes for five or six of her daughters. So many i*ers«>ns have patronized the free public library In the Jewish dis trict of Brooklyn. New York, that work on the new building for It has been stopped, and architects are drawing plans for a much larger building than was originally designed. On W ash ington's birthday when the n/en have >i holiday, the temiwirnry library was crowded all day. and a waiting lint was formed outside. So long as Immi grants are so eager for learning as this indicates, they will not endanger American Institutions. News items from various parts of the country must lend the laouglitful parent to wonder .what has become of the sort of diseipine he was used to in his own youth. Because of the exclu sion of a student from a theater in a Western town, the other students of the State university wrecked the place of amusement, and defied both |snice and faculty. A few days Inter the students of the New York University organized a strike because a memtier of one of the upper classes was sus pended for ducking a freshman. About the same time ten students of a Massa chusetts high school defied the school committee by holding an entertainment which they bad been expressly forbid den to hold. The Interest of parents In such acts lies In the fact that no organized rebellion of this sort can succeed without either the open or .ue tacit approval of the parents. Those who have the real welfare of their sons and daughters at heart will ask themselves whether It ls wise to en courage the tendency to revolt against law and order whenever It conflicts with personal desire.
