The millions of. ways by which it facilitates the work of the day, not only in the

Jjusmss world, but in the household as /vyell, is sufficient argument to prove ^(tbat the telephone is not. only- not a Isu&U'xury, but is ai necessity of the greatimportance. -Arid just in proportion Ho the inerasing number of telephones the less" a luxury it becomes, for the reSeon th&t every telephone added makes nfiore opportunities for the quick, cheap and -efficient service which the telephone gl^rforms. |g-L)" The telephone in any home will re- '$.'• du.ce the cost of living by reason, of sikime saved in innumerable^ instances M\ eyfcr'y day.

THE SUFFERERS.

A Chicago man has Offered $lj()00,000 toward the relief of the Jewish war suffereits in Europe, 3,000,000 of whom are said to be in. danger of death from starvation and exposure. The gift is conditional upon ten times that amount being raised by the American Jewish relief committee. Tlae Jews have suffered Ihore than their share of the war's Horrors, and the American committee has performed .wonders in the work of relief. We shall be greatly surprised, however, if they fail to rise splendidly to the challenge of their Chicago co-religionist.

The public safety committee of the board of aldermen, of St. Louis, has been asked to take the matter up, and we are confident that few will be envious of the task that falls to the gentlemen of the committee. "It is charged by the reformers and admitted by the proprietors of the theatres that young folks spoon when the lights gi out, but after that the divergence is complete: The: reformers say that the lights should not be turned low, and the picture men reply that tliey can't turn them up without spoiling the pictures. The-reformers say spooning must be stopped, to ^hich the picture men reply: "It can't be done." Far be it from us to say that anything can resisit the ""onslaught of true reform, but we go to the length of saying that it never has been done.

Replies to Dr. Stephens, y

Editor of the Tribune:— Judging from Dr. Madge Pattbn Stephens' letter, the Tribune is really the only public forum we have. Being a follower of Karl Marx for over a quarter of a century and seeing in socialism the salvation of mankind, I cannot help feeling sorry at the slow progress made. At the same time I must confess that the fault is ours it was pettiness of charagter that caused fsocialism in this country to split into two pfirtie^. It is narrowness and fanaticism that keep us from making converts. We are as inconsistent as the Puritans, who fied^ Europe to procure liberty to worship God according te their idea and then persecuted the Quakers for demanding the same privilege.

It seems strange, though nevertheless a fact, that free thinkers and preachers of internationalism can be as narrow and fanatical as the most ardent Catholic or orthodox Jew. No idol' worshipper makes more of afetich of his symbol of God than the Majority of socialists of the red flag, which to the majority whoria we wish to convert acts like a red/rag to \(L bull. Why act like the foolish bounder who pays $5 for cider because the bottle is labeled champagne?

Concerning the present world war, if forcfed into it by the German war party, ojui:, attitude as citizens should be to atatid sdlldly behind the president, for, it ls better to preserve the liberty- we have than .become vassals of ian inflated egott^t-r "who considers

Negroee Law Abiding.

Editor of the. Trifeune—In a recent article on "Education and Crime Among Negroes," contributed to Negro publication by Judge Gilbert C. Stephenson 'of the municipal coiirt of Winston-Salem, N. C., some wholesome information is given relative to the little crime that is committed by educated negroes. This southern Judge points out that little or no crime is committed by negroes who have received a common school or higher education. A careful inquiry was made in the various prisons of North Carolina and. other southern cities as to the number of Educated negroes who were Inmates, and the usual reply was that •the smallest percentage of prisoners were those of the literate class.

Thfr negroes in this city who have graduated from the southern and northern colleges are forces for good in the community where they are living and are all engaged in helpful and honorable pursuits. The enlightening and ethical Influences such as are given by education act upon the colored man the same as upon other groups, and cannot but contribute to the civilization of the social order. Judge Stephenson is typical of the best leaders of the south, who want to see the colored portion of the south's population treated fairly. The arficle is particularly welcome at this period in the .negro's history.

Dr. Stephens' Letter.

Editor of the Tribune:— T*he papers db a real service when they' publish such unpatriotic and disloyal utterances as that of Dr. Madge Patton Stephens as appeared in the Tribune last night. It is well that the public single out such people and know their views in a time as critical as this. It makes- it easier to watch their course in case more desperate eventualities confront the country. If an enemy invaded this country and nny one proposed such a pledge as Dr. Stephens offers in her letter he should be treated as a spj' and traitor. This republic in a good many things needs the strong fist of a monarchy and Dr. Stephens' unpatriotic utterances are certainly fin argument for it. Have we gro,wn too fat and soft and' moneysoaked" that we would not bear arms for the home fires and the land of our sires? Is the heritage of liberty thp colonial "fathers fcousflit for and for which oUr forefathers died in the civil war so cheap and tawdry that we wouldn't leave our slippers and rocking chairs to strike a blow for it? it is well for the security of the nation that the people who think as Dr.

Madge Patton Stephens does are in the' insignificant minority. And no matter how sincere they bear watching. MRS. AMELIA HILL.
