! Infantile Paralysis Cities and towns near New York, where infantile paralysis is gathering a frightful toll 'among young children, are alarmed at the influx tf New York mothers to these places. Residents
of these cities believe New Yorkers are spreading the disease by removing their children from
rthe center of the outbreak. ,
Thirty-two children died yesterday and 195 Wiao, o acta waM fanrtrioA f rv fha Vipolth nut hrtritipfl
of New York. The disease has manifested itself in a. number of cities in the Middle West. Physi-
fcians are baffled by the malady and have been
tunable either to check its ravages or trace its
origin, sanitation ana isolation are tne two
weapons that are being used to confine its
gpread. New York health authorities fear a further spread because many Italian Organizations
rliave special festivals this week. It is feared that
Jthe jamming crowds will act as disease spreaders. Appeals have been sent out to the churches and 'organizations to restrict gatherings as much as possible. , 'i What the Mobilization Showed f The mobilization of the National Guard proved pretty conclusively that the advocates of
preparedness were not raising a false J alarm months ago when they pointed out how thoroughly unprepared the United States is to meet a sudden attack of an enemy. ; Germany mobilized 4,000,000 in six days ; France mobilized 3,000,000 in- eleven days. It
took eight days for the United States to gather
28,000 militia in the state camps. Very few of these 28,000 were adequately equipped. Distressing shortage in equipment was report ed everywhere. Hats, blankets, tents, saddles, ammunition, cooking Outfits were lacking. One New York battery went to the front with two horses to a gun and two to a caisson. The full equipment calls for six horses to a gun and six to a caisson. New York regiments were ordered to the front in day coaches of such inferior construction that no company would dare operate them in fast service. The Seventh New York regiment of infantry was on the road five days without getting a warm meal. The mobilization camps , were without water. ' An' Illinois machine gun company had no gun when it was mobilized, and had to be mustered into the infantry. Many cavalry organizations lacked horses. The Mexican situation has revealed clearly the haphazard make-up of our National Guard strength. The men were willing for service., but the essential things necessary for a man in field clothing and equipment were sadly lacking. Congress ought wake up to the situation. The crisis has exposed our weakness. Remedial measures ought be applied at once. ' Help the Fund Through the Commercial Club donations for the fund for the widows and orphans of the' patrolmen killed last week will be received. Several donations for this purpose have been received. All gifts for this purpose must be free will. No committee will solicit money. If you believe the protection afforded you by the patrolmen is worthy of some reward, mail a check to the Commercial Club, or bring the donation. Not the size of the donation but the spirit back of it counts. Small sums are just as welcome as large ones.
HIDDEN PUZZLE!
EMERSON IS INSPIRATION OF RUSSIAN AWAKENING
BY EDGAR ILIFF. Our desire to visit the tombs of the Illustrious dead may be a survival of ''ancestor-worship" 'which Herbert Spencer calls the "root of all religions." Taking ancestor-worship as the root we find that all religions embody the following beliefs, exercising a tremendous influence upon mankind tor weal or woe: 1. The dead are with us, haunting their tombs, or their former homes and sharing invisibly the life of their living descendants. 2. All the dead become spirits "blending supernatural power with the individual character they had in" earth life. i The happiness of the dead depends "upon our respectful obedience to their "wishes. Our happiness depends upon 'doing our pious duty to the dead. 4. All events in our world, good or
wvil, fair and foul seasons, full barrests, food, famine, tempest and earthquake, come from the supernatural power of the dead. . 5. All human actions, good or bad, Ere controlled by the dead. Dead Shape Destinies. ; The universal belief is that the dead end not the living control life and shape destinies,. We appeal more to -the father," the gods," "the patriarchs," than to living reason. The most advanced nations share this belief with the lowest The coffin takes precedence over the cradle. The seplulcher upholds thrones and santifles cruelties and infamies in the name of rilvinely ordained governments. These crude thoughts were being icld as I sat in Sleepy Hollow looking at the group of stones marking the graves of Emerson. Hawthorne, Thoreau, Louisa M. Alcott and the celebrated Hoar family. The blue hills of Massachusetts were smiling In the distance. The birds were twittering in the trees around me, Then there , came to my mind , certain favrite utterances of Emerson: Says Life It Study. "Do not craze yourself with thinking, but go about your business any.where. Life Js not intellectual or critical, but sturdy. Its chief good is for Vvell-mixed. people who can enjoy what Ihey find without question. To fill the hour that is happiness: to fill the hour and leave no crevice for a repentance or an approval. .. .Our life might be much easier and simpler than we make it; the world might be a happier place than it is; there is
ho need of struggles, convulsions and
despairs, of the wringing of hands tnd gnashing of teeth. We interfere
with the optimism of nature. "We foolishly think that we must court friends by compliance to the customs of society," to its dress," its breeding and its estimates. But only that soul can be my friend, which I encounter on the line of my own march, that soul which repeats in its own experience all my experience. That which I '-call right or goodness is the choice o my constitution; that which I call heaven is the state desirable to my constitution." 1 ., Individuality Is Feared, i If you think over this you will see that it is revolutionary. It is dynamite under the strata of society. It Is this individuality, which is feared by czars and 'emperors, politicians and rulers everywhere. : It Is the divine Spark which set all. Europe ablaze in Ihe feudal ages, .and., produced the French revolution. It produced the United States of America. When man In a state of slavery or political oppression conceived tho
Idea that "over all things agreeable to his nature; and genius man has the highest right,'.' declarations of independence were born in every hovel, on every hillside, in every valley, and songs swept over the mountains "whose music was the gladness of the world." And a shadow fell across the grass. There stood by me a dark skinned man, with boshy black beard and stout form. He bowed to me with that genuine courtesy seen in most foreigners. He was a Russian gentleman and had come to see the grave of Ralph Waldo Emerson. He spoke English fairly well and had a certain
earnestness and enthusiasm most charming. Essay Causes Exile. The first thing that impressed me in him were his deep melancholy eyes and his fine, well-nourished body. If you have ever' looked over copies of the portraits painted by Franz Hals,
the Dutch painter, you will understand what I mean by well-nourished bodies. The first Information my Russian visitor in Sleepy Hollow offered was that many students in Russia had been exiled to Siberia for having Emerson's essay on "Self Reliance" in their possession. "Emerson is revolutionary" he said. "He " demands that man stand erect.' In his 'Self Reliance' he tells you to insist on yourself. He says that no law can be taught to him but that of his own nature. The only right, he says, is what is after my constitution; the only wrong what is against it. The Emerson philosophy of individual sacredness and individual right is the basis of the whole revolutionary movement In Russia today. That is why all the active young Russian students, young men and women, read Ralph Waldo Emerson more .than they do the Bible. The Bible, flung at the 142,000,000 Russian people by the Greek church, is the corner 'stone of all that is cruel, infamous, wicked and despotic in our government. Emerson's thought breaks every shackle of tradition and tears the chain from every pious or religious slave. Listen to his brave words: . 'Trust thyself; every heart vibrates to that Iron string.' Listen again: "If a man claims to know and speak of God and carries you backward to the phrase
ology of some old moldered nation in another country, in another world, believe him not.' " Bows Before Grave.
Then he bowed himself before the plain stone at Emerson's grave and said : "In the name of the suffering millions of my brothers in Russia I pay tribute to this greatest of all Americans; this greatest liberator of any age." He then showed me a photograph of the great Siberian Trakt or highway to Siberia. ' "'Over this road," he said sadly, "over a million political exiles have tramped to Siberia in 75 years, between the reigns of Nicholas I and Nicholas II." I asked if Gorky's novels, such as "Mother," "The Spy," and "Creatures That Once Were Men," were true to Russian conditions. He 6at on a gravestone with his head in his hand and said sadly: Novels Only Faint Shadows. . .'They are only a faint shadow, of the real." 4 I remarked:that the novels of Dos-
toieffsky, Poushkin, Turgeney, Tolstoy and others I had read were all;
colored with a deep melancholy, a sad refrain. "My .' God, man!" he cried, "Do you think if you wrote books in the depths of hell that you would make them merry and funny? Do you not know5 'that Dostoieffsky was condemned to death for belonging to a debating society and with twentythree thers stood on the scaffold in a public square, stripped and ready to be shot, and that when a commutation of sentence to Siberia came at the last moment several of the prisoners had lost their reason? Talk-of cheerful literature under such a reign of hell." Aska More Information. "Tell me more," I begged, and as I asked I had visions of women flogged, girls beaten to death, sons torn from mothers' arms never to be heard of again, fathers dragged off and forever lost. . I shuddered at the awful scenes of which I had read in Kellog Durland' "The Red Reigns and there flashed
before my eyes the noble -words of
Thomas Paine, "The world is my
country, to do good is my religion."
"In 1906," said my Russian compan
ion, "over 25,000 men and women were dragged from their homes and
flogged, imprisoned or exiled every month. Over 36,000 persons were kill-
or wounded. Why, only 30,000 lives were sacrificed in the whole of the French 1 Revolution and that was
twelve years. In the summer of 1906 Premier Stolypin began his drumhead
field courts-martial and he executed
764 person, an average of five a day
Wages are a pittance there. Women laborers get 20 cents a day. Miners get SO cents a day. But we have 145 church, state and crown holidays each
year for which there is no pay."
Much more was said, and as the
sun sunk low into twilight we parted,
There was a depth of sadness in his
eyes and voice which I can never forget. My hand still feels the pulsation of his hearty grasp. A S

PALLADIUM WANT AOS PAY
WIRT SWAMPED WITH REQUESTS FOR HIS ADVIOE
GARY, Ind., July 13. William Wirt, the Hoosier school master, who founded the now-famous Gary school system in this miracle steel city, has been forced to employ a large staff of secretaries to handle his constantly increasing duties. He is now directing, in whole or in part, no less than 150,000 boys and girls in the schools of the country. And requests for advice and service are increasing daily. He directs 150 teachers of 7,000 pupils here, a very small part of his work, but he refuses to leave Gary for larger fields, preferring to -watch carefully over the system he has nursed so carefully, evolving new
plans and improvements. His duties
m connection with the New York schools will be greatly enlarged next fall. He will spend one week in each month in New York and under his control will be between 4,000 and 5,000 teachers and 150,000 of the 700,000 pupils in the city. In addition he is directing superintendents in various parts of the country by mail in the fundamentals of the Gary system. Twenty-two experts of the Rockefeller Foundation have completed their investigation of the system here, taking with them on their departure twenty-eight trunks full of notes and statistics.
COURT MARTIAL FOR GUARDSMEN FAILS TO WORK
SAN ANTONIO. July 13. Perhaps no episode in the history of the United States army ever faded away so silently and died a quicker natural death than the court' martial ordered for the recalcitrant Texas militiamen who refused to be mustered Into the federal service for duty on the border. The -court martial simply "died a bornin' " and It has been impossible to get a lucid statement of what happened or rather, did not happen, from any official at Fort Sam Huston, headquarters of the southern division. Refuse Federal Oath. . At first One .hundred and sixteen Texas state guards flatly refused to take the oath. More than that, they declared they would stay at the concentration camp until the government or the state of Texas or somebody paid their railway fare back home. . It was up to the Texas National Guard. Since the state body had been mustered into the regular army, the Texas officials said it was up to the regular army, meaning Major General Frederick Funston. He passed it up to the war department. , Secretary of War Baker passed it up to the war department. The president ordered a courtmartial. Major H. C. Winship of the staff of the judge advocate general, came all the way from Washington to handle the. delicate situation. The government "had a bear by the tail." Time For Investigation. "Oh, it will take some time to Investigate all the circumstances and decide on the best plan of action," Major Winship said vaguely, when he first reached Fort Sam Huston. There has been no court martial. The fact is that nearly all of the men who hung back , have since come into
the service. One by one they have drifted in and asked Major Winship how they could go about getting to
the border with their companies. Those who have expressed such de
sire, have been sent on to their com
mands. But the charges against them
have not been dropped. . ,
That is the status of the court martial now. It is doubtful If the few holding out will be tried, and the de:
partment has not yet found out how
to drop the charges against those who
have come in.
"Oh, the matter will settle itself, I
am sure," Major Winship said today
still vaguely.
