THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND. OREGON. X TOPICS OF ) THE TIMES. No wonder England Is sour over the Jlocr wnr. Her stignr Imd to bo taxed. Tlic nit glveH It out to the plague doctor that he Hlinply refuses to come out and be exterminated. A new device discuses with the tele phone girl replying to a call. It Imh been tried, nnd aiiHWpra very well. A railway train made a Hpurt of nlno iiiIIoh In hIx mluutcH. Agulualdo'H bent time Is suitpuHed to havo been beuteu by It. A French physician declares that the Chinese are a very nervous people. It Is dllllcult to seo how they could bo otherwise at present. A man who has had some expcrlonco In Africa says that four men can hold down a Hon. One would not cure to be the party designated to hold down the front end of the beast. The story that the Czar Jumps two feet Into the air every time anybody Ktrlkcs a match Is olllclally denied. The Czar's bomb-proof room Is also n utrlng Ilendoffskl lleovltch. It does not exist. A mother had a c'r' arrested for "making goo-goo eyes" at her sou. If mamma thinks the police can put a ithade over this kind of an eye she Is lalmrlug to mop back the Atlantic Ocean. The g.-g. eye Is here to stay. It has remained for Chicago to dis count the story about the theft of a red hot stove. A couple of youthful burg lars In that city got safely away with a ferocious watch dog which had been "tied Joose" for the protection of the premises, 80 we nre to have a new ride which Is an Improvement upon any arm In the arsenal of nations. In the matter of carnal weapons It Is good tKdlcy to get tho best, for tho best not Infre quently keeps outsiders from kicking up a disturbance. It Is a case where prevention Is very much better than cure. It la too soon to tell whether the re duction In tho size of the puge which several metropolitan dally newspapers are making Is merely uu advertising experiment or tho beginning of an Im portant permanent change. The dally newspapers nre much too largo; they absorb so much time os to leuvo little for more serious reading. Tho report from Pennsylvania that young trades' unionists aro marrying tho young women whoso labor was brought Into competition with their own seems to bo In keeping with tho tendency toward consolidation. Per haps this movement, started so mod estly In tho Keystone State, may prove tho key to a puzzling social and eco nomic problem. Tho novel of many editions Is no new thing. Fifty years ago "Tho Heir of JtedclllTe, ' by tho Into Charlotte M. Yongo, went through twelve editions In six mouths, and her novel, "Daisy Chain," was also very popular. More notable than their success, however, was tho disposal of tho proceeds. Tho prollts of the one book were devoted to fitting out a missionary schooner, tho Southern Cross, for tho use of Illsh op Selwyu In New Zealand; and "Daisy Chain" erected u missionary college In Auckland. Tim main Imttlit fur tho euuso of n rational mxltlou on liorm'lmuk for women wiih fought when tlio liloyelo cniut' Into vuKtii'. Tluri wiih no wny to lirio Hint vehicle exeojit astride, ami even tho moHt prudish have Ioiik since gotten over tho Idea that then; wits anything Immodest or nut of tasto In lileyclo-rltllnij for women. Tho tinreit aonahlenesH of ndmlttliik' eross-rldluj; on tho wheel und forbidding It on tho liorne Iiiih boon too patent for oven the tralt-laeed people of Huston; henee tho collapse this your of all objection to It in tho HoHton riding clubs. A few weekH ngo boiuo Hchoolboyu In tho District of Columbia went out to "pluy oldler" with toy kuiih. Ono of tho number curried u real gun, which tils parents had been foolish enough to jflve him. The youthful captain of tho company told hint ho need not go with tho imrtj uuloHH ho would refntlu from loading tlie weapon. Hut ho thought It a grout Joke to loud It on tho Hly, believ ing that ho would bo mitllclcntly cau tious In Its use. Another hoy, who sup posed that tho captain's orders had bovu rtspooted, tried to lio sly, too, with tho roHtilt that tho gun wont off. A liullrt panned through tho Jaw of uu Innocent member of tho party, who Imd to ho taken to tho hospital, whro for days Ida life hung In tho balance. UU mother wiih at tho time a nervous In valid, nnd ho was her only child. Oon noUi'iitly It wiih found necessary to keep from her nil knowledge of tho and Affair. Since thin Is a truo Btory, Its repetition will ho Justltlcd If Ita lessons convoy "still another wnrulng." Tho elderly people of tho farm very veil remember when country llfo had a turgor mix of soclublllty among neigh bors than Is tho fashion now. They hud plenty of hard work, hut It was tho regular thing to take n day off now und then to go visiting not n little formal call, city fashion, hut tho horses jvero stabled, a chicken was beheaded for dinner, and while the men viewed the stock und crops the women com pared babies, looked at the new quilts and made themselves cozy It) the kitch en. Newspapers were not so plenty then, with dally happenings from all over the world, so the neighbors evened up with an exchange of views on the books they had read, and with n gossipy good time on local affairs In addition to the regular round of day light visits, which embraced nil the neighbors of one's set at least once a year, there were also the evening calls In winter time, when the farmer nnd his wife went across lots to a neigh bor's to "sit until bedtime." This last program did not Include supper, but simply a merry chat with apples and nuts, and all over by 10 o'clock. These old-fashioned Informalities In the visit ing line were very pleasant In their time nnd made friendliness the fashion. It did not hurt n mite then to take a friendly Interest In your neighbors' wel fare, and It would not hurt now. Hut somehow the older the country gets tho weaker grows our ties of sociabil ity; we read our dally papers, watch the markets, mind our affairs nnd don't bother about the neighbors. The grniige and tho farmers' club bring a spice of sociability where tho farmers are or ganized, but will we ever get bnck to the good old back-woodsy way of let ting the farm nnd kitchen have a rest while we dress up nnd go visiting? Within n few months thirty-flve wo men havo been brutally butchered by men In this country. In each case the slayer professed to bo In lovo with the slain and killed her because tho feeling was not reciprocated. In some cases the girl had made known to her parents that threats had been made against her life nnd the man had been bound over to keep the ponce. Hut his bond was no restraint nnd lie killed her. This erotic Insanity Is the must dnugerotis form of homicidal mania. It Is treated lightly by the law or not at all. It generally appears In persons of evil temper und uncontrolled passions, who are not desirable company for any self respecting woman. It Is becoming too common, nnd In default of legal pro tection should bo denlt with sternly by the malo protectors of women. When these erotics nre arrested for making threats their offense Is treated nil too lightly. Often tho matter Is regarded as a Joke. Any man who forces his disagreeable attentions upon a woman should bo Isolated nnd held cither In a prison or an asylum. In 1)0 per cent of such cases the unreciprocated lufntti tton ends In murder. Women nre en titled to tho most complete protection against such brutes. The San Fran cisco Call thinks that If tho law will not furnish It there Is no other way than to kill the man who wooes n wo man by threat of murder. If she havo a malo protector he should save her life, for she Is doomed unless he act. If a woman yield to the threats of such a man and marry him to snvo her life she makes for herself a lifetime of misery, for such men nre perverts, de generates or psychopaths unlit for the conjugal association. We do not wish to bo misunderstood In these comments. Wo only say that It Is tho duty of it father to save the life of his daughter, or of a brother to save his sister. If he arrive on tho scene when such un erotic beast Is executing his threat It Is ids duty to kill tho wretch, and the law holds him blameless. In view of the fact that such threats to kill aro In variably carried out, why Is It not the duty of a father or brother to net In ndvnnco of tho opportunity which the erotte assassin Is seeking.

London Kxpress. , Tho KIiik mid His Dog Tax. A recent (5 rook luw Is to the effect1 that every owner of a dog shall pay it yearly tux of 12 drachmas. Those who du not pay In time are condemned by tho new law to pay double tux. King George sent recently to tho police In or der to register his four dogs nnd pay their taxes. Hut tho otllelal found that his Majesty owed for tho tiuesia sum of -18 drachmas, und had been fined another IS drachmas for having de layed payment. Ills Majesty bus paid 0G drachmas for his dogs.
