THE COMMON MAN B HEARD A rood deal from Woodrow Wilson about the help us to see the common people If we study for a little the , common man. Does this moan the Inferior man? . Not at all. It Is the common man ' who has not specialised himself out . of his common humanity. . '; Ranks classes, employments, , even education, have nothing; to do with our definition, one way or the other. But this Is, above all-that have gone before, an age of special ization.' If a man Is a . doctor one ski what kind of a doctor Is he J Bo with the engineer, the carpen ter, the miller, the ' lawyer, the preacher, too. Not only are we all ,' separately labelled, like minerals in a cabinet but. to change the figure, o Intense is our devotion to our - specialty; and our absorption in It, that we have got Into watertight compartments to live, where we can neither see, touch, nor hear our brothers clearly. ; , .

He says further that In ' two of the prefectures many, new boys' schools have been opened and are taught on new principles. Former-. ly, any dirty little cubicle served for a school room, where a crowd of unkempt youngsters, shouted, at the top of their voices in discordant keys, passages from the Chinese classics. Now there nreumrttmwr w HE MEDICAL officer of health. with his sanitary inspectors, represents preventive medi cine, the rest of the profession concerns itself with cure. To this "rest of the profession" are committed hospitals and sana toria, infirmaries, open-air sana toria, and the cure of disease In all our households. But it Is devel oped sickness that calls them into action. Obviously to them is committed the main charge of the health of the people. But resort to them follows on incapacity from disabling disease tfley wage a defensive fight. The causes belong to the lives and homes of the people their work, their food, their hygiene, their constitu tions. If all their patients were cured another crop of sick people is being raised. In fact hospital work increases instead of falling off. The need of preventive medicine. in the largest sense, was never so urgent as it is now, but another wide field is opening. Insurance against sickness as well as accident Is being considered for men and wo men in mass. Working people, the civilized world over, are being more and more protected, either by the state, the union, or the employer, or by all three in conjunction, not only from the consequences of accident but in invalidity from sickness. The greatest danger to be feared is that tbe insurers whether the state, the union, or the employers shall find the funds insufficient to carry tho burdens imposed on them, i This is one of the objections that the English chancellor, Lloyd George, has to meet in carrying through his splendid scheme. But the, same question arises wherever the general terms, insurance against accident or inability, are to be trans lated and extended in practical real- N INJUSTICE of the law Is re vealed by an incident in New York City. Miss Elizabeth Murphy was a stenoeraDher. whose employer was arrested for falsifying the public records. She was taken in custody as a witness and detained for 67 weeks, pending the trial of the defendant. She was kept in the house of detention, and various hotels at a complete loss of salary and time. Finally, without either apology or compensation, she was dismissed. Throughout the one year and four months of her detention, she was de prived of income and the society of family and friends. At the end of the period, she was broken in health and depressed in spirit, a condition for which an unjust' form of the law, or the law's application, was entirely responsible. i The case has attracted wide at tention, and Is subjecting legal pro cesses to a pitiless publicity. In all the discussions of the"affalr, there is strong denunciation of a system that imposes a legal tyranny upon the individual, and after a period of prolonged injustice, turns him adrift without remedy or recourse. The agitation has resulted in a move ment to so amend the criminal code of I,ew York state that future occur rences of the kind will be prevented Among those In the movement are Mayor Gaynor and many of the most respectable lawyers of the city. The object of law Is to promote Justice and prevent wrong. When, as In this Instance, a grave wrong is committed in Its name, the ends that law aims at are perverted. These figures are exclusive of a large service between Denmark and other countries in the postal union Mr. Hitchcock la displaying activ ity In the extension of postal savings banks. There are continual evi dences that he should not stop until the parcels post and Its attendant C O. D. order system are set in motion. It may be added that both Ger many and the United Kingdom have similar plans In active operation. O.-AV. R. & N. BONDS r HE OVER-SUBSCRIPTION of $25,000,000 of O.-W. R. & N. bonds In New York points to two facts. One, that the mar ket there Is recovering from its tem porary lethargy, and is now ready to absorb Issues of a reasonable amount of standard securities of recognized value, and, second, that the way is clear Jor a further Issue neie only to have their attention railed to the economic folly of erecting rent pro pert lea and settine; such a iimuea return out or them. Once that Idea took root it Is not Rtrana-e that someone aaked why our armonea should represent so- much waste investment, and It eecms prob able that a similar agitation for their. iiu.rv norrai usa will unnnc UD. In most of the larre cltlea there are coatlv and elegant armories that are dark and deserted most of the time. Only a pub lic extravagance such as. has grown up In this country would fail to ask If better returns could not be hail out of the great outlays they represent. or example, every large city needs great building for expositions and conventions. Why could not this need be served In a combination building iiimiirrinpr in no way with tne facili ties for the mllltla, but rather Imnmv.

Whenever lt hat been rrorerlv enforced It has served the purpose for which It was enacted. We believe It will always serve that purpose If the administrative branch of the govern ment does Its duty. All adverse criti cism of the supreme court's dictum in regard to the rule of reason Is based on conjecture not on what has hap pened but on what somebody thinks might happen. The business of government is to deal with facts as they are. Here Is a statute which has been upheld time after time by the court of last resort. But Its criminal provlalons have been largely nullified by executive neglect, although the criminal provisions are what gives the art strength and vitality. It la easy to reorganize an outlawed corpora tion out it is not easy, to reorganize a truat promoter who Is In Jail. . What the country needa Is not more anti-trust law but a vigorous enforce ment of the law as it stands. The flherman law as Interpreted by the su preme, court will do Its work If the de partment of Justice recognises it simply as a criminal statute to be enforced Ilka any other criminal statute.

Eventually, however, the chief of the Powhatans became re conciled to the English, chiefly through the '' instrumentality of his beautiful daughter, Pocahontas. Powhatan was born about the mid die of the sixteenth century, and al though at first he was hereditary chief of eight Virginia tribes, finally, by his sagacious methods, he found him self chief of 30 tribes, counting close to 8000 warriors. ' When the English first saw him he was nearly 69 years of age. He lived sometimes at a vll lage called Powhatan, near where Rich mond now atands, and sometimes at wer-0rwo-co-moco, on the York river. Here la Captain John Smith's descrip tion of Powhatan's appearance at tho Ume the two first met in 1607: "He Is a tall, well-proportioned man, with a sour look; his bead somewhat gray; his beard so thin that it seems none at all; of a very abla and bardy body to endure any labor." Pocahontas was born about the year 1594, and was one of 11 girls and 20 sons. . We know nothing about any of his sons except Nateguas. whom tha English claimed to be the handsomest, comellest ami boldest among all the savages. Powhatan had many wives exactly how many is difficult to state and when tired of ofia h vm.M n.. ent her to a member of his tribe whom ne considered to be tile most deserv ing. Powhatan seems to have had an un usually varying disposition. .Some times he posed aa Smith's dear friend; sometimes he clamored for hla - nr Mora than once he sent provisions to gave tha Jamestown colony from starv ing; .again he planned that colony's massacre. . iWhen Captain Newport was dls-patdMxt-to trader-wlttr-JowhaTirH St a period when tha colonists were atarv-l Tomorrow MaasaaO Mother's Diagnosis.
