But how san crims be diminished by esusing crim Inals merely to change their locs- tlons? If Chicago esuses them to lesve that city they merely will spread over tho country to other communi ties and there continue to prey upon eoclety, says the Mundo Evening Presa It would be ss sensible to send smallpox patients from Munds to In dianapolis on tho theory that thereby smallpox would be diminished. If one is known to bo s criminal and the knowledge of the police on that point la sufficient to force the suspect to deport from tho town, then It ought to be strong enough to brirtg about his arrest snd conviction. Spreading criminality over a wide territory is not curing it. At Luxor they have found the s<ep- tera of Tutankhamen. Those rods once symbolized a powerful despotism. They glittered In the hand of one who, dad In magnificence, ruled over nations. They carried significance of life and death, of peace and war. But the hand that wielded them has been life less for thousands of years. The name of the despot who held them had passed into oblivion. Even the nstlons over whom he ruled have made their exit Into the forgotten. Just s nsme snd s few disputed dates are all that Is left of the wilder of the scepters. Whst about the holders of modern scepters? Will they profit by the lesson of Luxor? Tbe Gobi desert was the distribution center of life oa this earth. Not neces sarily the cradle of human life, accord ing to soologicsl and biological experts I of the Roy Andrews expedition to Mon golis. But the traces of snlmsl life found there in the sands of the deeert point to the fset that 10.000,000 years ago there wore giant monsters nW the earth who have not survived. Whether men was present in these far-off days when “ttyi spirit of ths Lord moved over the abyss” is still a matter of doubt. The Austrian chemist who received the Nobel prise finds that be must turn 75 per cent of it ever to tris govern ment as income tax. Nobel should have taken the precaution to have his prises classified as tax-exempt securities. - j ■ ' — ................ Builders’ Hardware , Ginn, Coleman & Co.

II la curious that men should so often look on the near psst with con tempt, wMIji ' m In often the ca se glorifying the remote past, snd even seeing in It tho golden ego of the worlds Certain of our writers have gone so far ss to argue that man was at hia best and in his happiest state when a savage. They despise s world that, if not wholly good, has much good In It, and create—In their Imag ination—ono that nqyer existed In which all their social theories are true and tn unimpeded operation. There could bo no bettor proof of the daulfng effect of distance on the view. It la a pleasant pastime, that of gild ing conditions that would hsve been Intolerable to tho modern man had he been compelled to live In them. Hardly lesa pleasant to the ultra mod eras is the practice of stripping the yesterdays of their glory. The fact that there la failure in both cases does not discourage either these who live wholly in the present, or those whe would bring bsck the dim snd distant past.
