Bernard Shaw Roasts the Press Dramatist, with Usual Courage, Raps London Papers for Their Snobbishness Gossip from Old London.

Dry

It has been asserted that In dry counties there is a lot to drink. The latest evidence offered Is contained in the Saturday Evening Post which says: "Brook, Indiana, where George Ade practices' gentleman farming, is right In the middle of the teetotal belt of Indiana, Last summer, on one broiling hot day a man came along in an automobile, having just patched up a puntcure outisde of Brook. He ran into the little village and saw a native standing In front of the general store. He stopped his machine and went up to the native. "Say, brother," he said, "will you tell me where I can get a good, cold bottle around here. The native took the automobilist by the arm, out to the middle of the road, pointed down its dusty length and said, "The nearest place is fifty

miles right down that road." We are stepping on dangerous ground when we speak about this subject. Let us call Mr. Ade and ask him Bome questions: 1. Did you get it? 2. If not, what and where?

(Special Cable from the International i News Service.) London, June 18. George Bernard Shaw, with his usual courage. Is the only man in all England who has dared raise his voice against the almost incredible snobbishness o f the Eng

lish press on the occasion of the recent death of King Edward, which

was almost too much for royalty itself.

In an artcile on the late king in

which Shaw says that Edward was

DODular because he was more or a

man than a king, he writes:

"You cannot make a man a king and then know anything about him. The

divinity that hedges a king is, in the last analysis, a general agreement to pretend that he is what no man ever yet was; and just man made perfect. A king, in short, is an idol; that is why I am a republican. I know as

well as anyone that if you have an Idol you had better have disputes about

the succession by having the post

hereditary instead of elective.

"But why should any human being

be made a political convenience of to this extent? Has not the king an inde

fensible right to be a man, and not

an Idol? Why should Queen Mary, the

proud mother of five strong sons, be

forced to bring them up to a decay

ing trade and an unhappy lot?

"Let the coronation be at Stone

London with its mighty traffic, is no

longer a place where pageants can be tolerated. The propaganda of royalism, which is the purpose of these pageants, need not suffer; far more people will see them on Salisbury Plain than can be wedged behind the troops in Piccadilly; and the cinematograph will work all the better in the open.

Corn

Prince Henry the third son of King

George, during his long stay at

York Gate House, Broadstairs, is not

allowed to neglect his education.

When he first went to Broadstairs

he was permitted to spend the best

part of his time on the sands building sand castles, etc. Now, however, he has been entered as a day scholar

about eighteen inches wide and twelve

inches deep. The holding capacity is one hundred weight, but the total

weight of the 6ae is a ton and a half. As a market price of radium works

out at about $50,000,000 a pound, the

The Calendar Serves Well.

From Scranton Tribune Republican.

By suppressing ten days of the cal

endar Pope Gregory XIII, in 1582, re

stored the equinox to March 21, in spite of the equalizing of things in the arrangement of leap year the calendar

is still ahead of the solar year, but as the error amounts to only one day in

3,325 years, there is no necessity that we should worry about it. This calendar has answered all purposes so

well that It is impossible to see why

there should be any demand for an

other arrangement that would create

half months and independent days.

Postal Costs. From the Seattle Post Intelligencer.

As the postal department is not intended to be a revenue producer, it

does not appear why the people who use the mails should be .compelled to

pay, not only the cost of the business which is transacted for them, but also the business which the postal department does for the other departments of government. As a matter of honest bookkeeping, each department should be charged with the actual cost of the postal business done for it. There would probably be no deficit if this were done.

as radium emanations pass through the thickest armor plate as readily as many difficulties of the problem were finally solved by the construction of a safe within a safe, of a leaden shell or coffer with a steel exterior. It was discovered that practically the only metal which radium cannot

What la a Boarding Houser From the Tacoma Ledger.

The city attorney at Renton, in this

state, has our heartfelt sympathy. He must find an answer to the most difficult question we ever knew to be propounded to a public officer. ' This is the poser he must solve: "What is a boarding house? A town ordinance

provides for a lower water rent from boarding houses than from private dwellings. Consequently a great many users have sought to pay under that

clause. The city council became sua

piclous and began an inquiry. Many

confusing definitions were given. One councilman offered to prove that one

place was a boarding house because a 'groat many shirts were hanging on the

Of the many schemes to recover hidden treasure from the sea one of the latest is that just formed for the pur

pose of salving some of the numerous wrecks that lie round the South Af

rican coast. A company has been

promoted with the idea not of engaging itself in mere "treasure hunting," but of recovering the contents of wrecks already located, and in manv instances surveyed.

A start will be made soon with a

suitable steamer fully equipped with all the necessary diving and salvage apparatus. The expedition will depart

under the superintendence of a wellknown salvage expert, Captain Chas.

Gardiner, who will begin by directing

operations at a spot where a Bntish transport went down with metals and specie valued at over $5,000,000. Captain Gardiner selected a list of 137 of the more accessible wrecks after searching the archives of Cape Colony, and has succeeded in locating 32 of them. For twenty-two years Captain Gardiner has led the sea life full of daring and romance.

"My adventures began with the Am

salvage work in China, Australia,
