THE VANDAL.
Vandalism is akin to anarchy. It
is worse than anarcny. The an
archist is no coward. He has the
strength of his convictions. The vandal is a coward. In the darkness of night or at other opportune times
he does his acts of destruction.
His motives are those of savages J
He does not recognize property or any other rights. He destroys be
cause he delights in destruction. It
is with fiendish delight that he witnesses the deep concern of the man who sorrows over the destruction of a beautiful thing. The vandal and the incendiary are Siamese twins.
These remarks are for the benefit
of the man whose delight In the de
struction of property prompted him to buy a large quantity of nails and strew the country roads with them.
His perverted nature made It a
delight to anticipate the anger, inconvenience and delay that would be caused to scores of automobillsts whose tires would be punctured by these nails.
Such a man is a menace to society.
He ought to be. locked up with the rest of the criminally insane. Jail is too good for him. The average criminal is a man in comparison.
A man who will rob and steal
sometimes has a motive for his crime that at least satisfies his own con
science. The vandal satisfies only
his perverted and fiendish desire to
witness destruction.
Trains have been wrecked and lives lost simply to satisfy this monstrous desire on the part of certain perverts. They are a menace
to the community. There are various stages in th
disease of vandalism. Some . vandaU content themselves with whittling woodwork, boys destroy their desks
in school' and write on the walls of toilet rooms .others set fire to barns
Just to see them burn. But they are
all in the same class. The serious
ness of the crime is merely a matter
of degree.
HOUND dogs are going to be a
specialty at the Baltimore convention but Judge Becker will take a dachshund if he takes one at all.

A QUEER RULING.
Those who are for the recall of
judges will have some good grounds
for argument as the result of the de
cision of Federal Judge Hanford of
Seattle in annulling the citizenship
of Leonard Olsson because he. Is
Socialist. That a man should be de
prived of his citizenship because of
his religious or political belief la not in conformity with the American
idea and regardless of the varying
degrees of radicalism displayed by
the Socialists the federal court Is certainly taking a bold step in
rendc-i" such a decision. To quote from a dispatch: "In his decision Judge Hanford said he annulled Olsson's cltizen- - ship papers because he 'admitted he is a Socialist, a frequenter of assemblages of Socialists, in which he participates as a speaker, advocating a propaganda for radical changes in the Constitu- - tion of the country, and because he entertained those views at the time he entertained those views at the time he aplied for his naturalization papers more . than two years ago.' "
. Roosevelt and his New National
ism policies show traces .of a demand for changes In the constitution and certainly a Socialist has as much
right to demand changes as a fol
lower of New Nationalism. As far as Socialism is concerned it will be
here when New Nationalism has

MOTHER'S WAGES. What about mother's wageB? Father gets his wages, the boys ret theirs, and the girls get theirs. Nobody pays mother's wages. Father does not pay, mother's wages because be says It takes all of his to pay tbe bills and make both ends meet. Tbe boys say they must nave, good clothes and some spending money and they cannot pay mother. And the girls complain that their small earnings must go for gowns and hats and ribbons. Mother merely does the family work without pay. Mother gets up early to get breakfast for father and tbe boys and hurries them oft to their work. She gets the girls a dainty bite and then warms up the scraps for the little ones who go to school. Mother eats between' times. It is mother who all day long sweeps and scrubs and dusts and sews and cooks and hustles In the meantime to get two more meals. After supper father sits down to his pipe and evening paper or goes downtown to talk politics. The boys dress and go out Tbe girls have company. But mother washes tbe dishes and gets things ready for breakfast, and then sits down to mend and darn socks until bedtime. Eight boars? Mother works eighteen. And the next day and the next and
the next, so long as she is able to be out of bed. mother keeps up this exacting routine, while the others get all tbe playtime. Suppose the family were to employ a housekeeper for this work. She would demand mighty good pay for these two shifts in one. And perhaps she would throw out the back kitchen door as much as her wages. But mother pinches and scrapes and saves. " Is It fair? 4 Mother should have her wages. Let father give her most of his. She will make a dollar go farther than he. Let tbe boys save a little and pay mother something for their keep, and let the girts buy less chocolates and pay their mother something. Try giving her a regular allowance, even If It be small, and watch her face brighten until she looks almost as young as ber girls. She will not spend It on herself. Trust mother for that
