Citizens Want Investigation of Death I of Baby Public opinion in Richmond demands a grand jury investigation of the circumstances attending the death of the infant thrown on the city

dump by Dr. F. W. Krueger, who believed he was j

disposing of a dead monstrosity. The fact that the child lived for hours after it had been hurled on the, trash heap aggravates the situation. Even the most lenient and forebearing person in Richmond cannot condone the hurling of a live child, even if so badly deformed that death was only a matter of a few hours, on a rubbish heap. The act approaches the practices of barbarians and savages who ruthlessly expose their weak children to the mercy of beasts of prey and the elements. A thorough going investigation of the incident by the grand jury is in place. The public has a right to know how far some physicians go in declaring infants unfit to have a chance to live, by what method this fact is Established, and how their bodies are disposed of. The very fact that the child lived hours after it had been wrapped into newspapers and thrown on a public dump indicates a laxity and apparent unconcern on the part of the physician which has been roundly censured by hundreds. The statement of Dr. Krueger that he had recommended the practice of disposing of cases of this kind should be investigated to see if other physicians have been guilty of this practice.

since the armistice was signed," says the Washington Post. "During that period war activities have been brought near to an end, the army has been three-fourths demobilized and the peace treaty has been signed. And yet the cost of living has not been appreciably reduced and many prices range above war levels. "Here is a situation which demands the immediate attention of the government. It is worthy the best thought of statesmen and economists, for it ha3 a direct and important bearing upon the happiness and well being of the American people. The price of bread and meat is a much more vital issue to at least 100,000,000 people in this country than are the boundary lines of Poland or social conditions in Czecho-Slovakia. "The Post has directed attention to the prices of food in moderate-priced restaurants in Washington, to say nothing of the sensational prices charged in eating places of the better class.

large portion of the American population. Artisans who are earning higher wages than ever before find that their increased earnings mean little, since the cost of living has advanced in even greater proportions. The man or woman of moderate salary whose income has not appreciably increased is faced by an even greater problem. The necessities of life cost more than ever before, and show no tendency downward. The situation demands careful and instant consideration." Farm Speculation The Grand Rapids News calls attention to the speculation that is going on in farm lands all over the country. In the Middle West prices for farms are above anything ever known. "In Illinois."

says the News, "farms are changing hands at

$300 and $350 an acre, and in the northern portions of Kansas and Nebraska land is being sold at prices $50 to $100 an acre higher than two years ago. Land at $200 an acre several miles from towns is common. A Kansas City correspondent cites the case of one farmer who sold his land two weeks ago and paid a $2,500 bonus 10 days lated to get it back. It is said that the speculation is not confined to the farmers, but that own residents are buying land with the same eagerness with which they once bought city lots. "Kansas also has an orgy of oil land speculation, following the recent bringing in of several gushers in the southern field in that state. Promoters are peddling stock in every city and hamlet, despite the operation of the blue sky law. The promoters get around the blue sky law in this manner: They buy an interest in a land owner's one-eighth royalty and then divide the fraction into 'units', which are sold without coming under the head of stock. For instance, one-fourth of one-eighth in one tract was divided into 4,000

'units' selling at $20 each, the popular price. The i

promoters paid $10,000 for the one-thirty second of the tract's production and put it on the market for $80,000. They couldn't lose if they could sell 'units,' and they sold them, clerks, laborers, small-salaried men and girls being the chief purchasers. These buyers invest on the appearance of maps, though the proposed tract may not have developed a sign of oil.

"Whatever we may have or lack here in Michigan we are without the speculative fever that appears to have seized upon so many other sections of the country. We are satisfied with solid and substantial growth, and in the long run we shall be the better off."

Condensed Classics of Famous Authors

SCOTT Walter Scott was born In Edinburgh on Augr- 15. 1771. His father was a lawyer, the first of the Scott line to leave the open country for the town. For a man who wrote such a pro

digious amount, Scott was surprisingly late in getting started. He was 34 years old when his first original work appeared, "The Lay of the Last Minstrel." From that moment until his death, on Sept. 21, 1832. he was, with the possible exception of Byron, the most popular writer in English. When the public seemed to be tiring of his long romances in verse, he turned to novel writing, and in 1814, when he was 43, he came Into his career of greatness with "Waverley." For 18 years novel after novel followed in rapid succession, stirring romances of history or colorful tales of Scottish life. They were all published anonymously until the financial disaster of 1825 made it seem wise to reveal the author's name. Fully a dozen of the Waverley Novels, if not more, might be included in any list of 100 novels and many loyal lovers of Scott would even then think that one or two more might he added. He was, as Stevenson remarked, "the king of the roma-ntics. ' Waverley," "Ivanhoe," "The Heart of Midlothian" and "Kenilworth" are representative of Scott at his best. But "Old Mortality," "Quentln Purward," "The Talisman," "Guy Mannering." "The Fortunes of Nigel," "The Antiquary," "St. Roman's Well," "Rob Roy" and indeed others have all the innumerable admirers of the romthj North."

The Heart of Midlothian, by many called the finest of the Waverley Novels, was published anonymously in 1818. It takes it name from the Tolbooth or old city jail, in Edinburg (pulled down in 1815), the "stony heart" of Midlothian, which reared its ancient front in the very middle of the High street of the city. On the afternoon of September 8, 1736, Reuben Butler, assistant-master of the school at Llbberton, and licensed minister of the gospel, found himself in unexpected trouble. First of all, he had become entangled with the crowd of good citizens of Edinburg

in the Grassmarket, murmuring at the postponement of the execution of Captain John Porteous of the City Guard. They were still in the heat of anger from the events of the preceding day, when Porteous had ordered his men to fire, and had fired himself, upon the crowd, some of whom were attempting to cut down the body of "Scotch" Wilson, the famous smuggler. Several innocent citizens had been killed. Now that the chief offender seemed likely to escape, there was no knowing what the mob might

At the trial, when Jeanie was brought in to testify, Effie, In human weakness, cried, "O Jeanie, Jeanie, save me!" But when the solemn oath, "the truth to tell, and no truth to conceal, as far as she knew or was asked," was administered "in the name ot God, and as the witness should answer to God at the great day of judgment,' Jeanie, educated in deep reverence for the name of the Diety, was elevated above all considerations save those which she could, with a clear conscience, call Him to witness. And when the advocate came at length to the point of asking her, "what your sister said ailed her when you inquired ?" Jeanie could only answer, "nothing." When the sentence was pronounced by the Doomsman, Effie's own eyes were the only dry ones In the court. "God forgive ye, my Lords," she said, "and dinna be angry wi' me for wishin' it we a' need forgiveness." The next morning found Jeanie Deans traveling alone and afoot on the long road to London "to see the Queen's face that gives grace," and beg for her sister's pardon.

Then, to his consternation, he learned that Effie Deans, the younger and more charming sister of his sweetheart Jeanie Deans, was imprisoned in the Tolbooth. When he had last seen Effie, more than a year before, she had been a beautiful and blooming girl, the lily of Saint Leonard's. Many a traveller past her father's cottage had stopped his horse on the eve of entering Edinburg, to gaze at her as she tripped by him, with her milk-pail poised on her

head, bearing herself so erect, and

stepping so light and free under her burden that it seemed rather an ornament than an encumbrance. Now the poor girl, scarce eighteen years of age lay in the Tolbooth, charged with child-murder. The facts were that after working for a time in a shop in Edinburg, the unhappy prisoner had disappeared for the space of a week, and then made her appearance before her sister at

She passed luckily, on the whole, through so weary and dangerous a Journey, and at length, through the intercession of the duke, secured the pardon which she sought. Before she reached Scotland again, Effie had eloped with her lover, who was in reality George Staunton, son of an English nobleman. The sisters, who had last met when Effie was sitting on the bench of the condemned, did not meet again for many years, though Lady Staunton wrote sometimes to Jeanie now Mrs. Butler, wife of Mr. Reuben Butler, pastor of Knocktarlitie.

EXPORTS FOR JUNE RECORD BREAKING, U. S. REPORT SHOWS

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. July 3. Exports from the United States during May ere valued at $606,379,599, the Department of Commerce announced today and on the basis of estimates covering June exports, exports for the fiscal year ending June 1, have amounted to $6,806,000,000 by far the largest total in the history of American foreign trade. The greatest export total previously recorded during the fiscal year 1917, was $6,230,000,000. Imports for May as announced were valued at $328,927,139. and estimates of June imports bring the probable total of Imports for the fiscal year to $3,102,000,000, leaving an estimated balance in trade for the United States of $3,704,000,000. This also exceeds the previous record total, that of the fiscal year 1917, when the balance

North Dakota

From New York Times. NORTH DAKOTA has embarked at last on the sea of state socialism. Because of Governor Frazier's refusal to submit to popular vote a part only of the non-partisan league's program, the whole program was submitted at once, and it has carried North Dakota by a majority of 7,000. It consists of seven measures, of which the most important, provide for state elevators, a btate bank, and an official state newspaper in each county. The state will Immediately begin to handle grain, manu-

that election. Nor was the public greatly interested in the personalities of the candidates for attorney general at that time. There was another amendment submitted at the same election in which the people were not so much interested as in woman suffrage, and the votes for and against it were 422.703 less than those cast on the attorney generalship. It therefore behooves the opponents of the non-partisan league not to rejoice too greatly over a falling off of 11,000 in its majority between November and June. Our own experience with the direct

she had remained mute as the grvae. until the officers of justice had come to apprehend her. Before Reuben Butler could see her, the Tolbooth was closed; and before he could escape from the city a crowd of rioters compelled him to return with them to the jail and administer the last rites to Porteous, whom they dragged forth to death. The leader of the mob, a young man disguised in woman's clothes, seized a moment in the midst of the turmoil in the jail to beg Effie to escape. "For God's sake for your own sake for my sake flee, or they'll take your life." was all that he had time to say. The girl gazed after him for a moment, and then, faintly muttering, "Better tyne life, since tint is gude fame," she sunk her head upon her hand, and remained, seemingly, as unconscious as a statue, of the noise and tumult which passed around her. In the morning, on his way to see Jeanie and her father at Saint Leonard's, Butler encountered in the King's park a young man of noble bearing, but strangely agitated, who bade him "tell Jeanie Deans that, when the

to a certain troop of vagabonds, of which Black Donald was the chief. In an affray with Black Donald's men, Sir George was shot by a young lad called "the Whistler," who proved to be the lost son. The lad disappeared, and escaped to America. Lady Staunton, overcome by the tragedy, after vain efforts to drown her grief In society, retired to a convent in France. Although she took no vows, she remained there until her death. But her influence at court accomplished much for the children of her sister Jeanie, who lived happily on In the good parish with which the bounty of the Duke of Argyle had provided her husband. The Heart of Midlothian is notable for having rather fewer important characters, a smaller variety of incidents, and less description of scenery than most of Scott's novels. One of the most remarkable scenes In all fiction is the meeting of the two sisters in prison under the eyes of the jailer Ratcliffe.

It is a curious thing that this triumph for his pro- J gram should take place just at the time when Townley's own Influence Is failing, when a large section of his nonpartisan league is in revolt against what It calls his "tyranny," and. when he himself is on trial for sedition. There are some In North Dakota who think it was only his "tyranny" which held the league together, and that without that "tyranny" it Is bomid to fall, but such prophets may ,be temporarily discouraged by the result of the referendum. It is. true that there Is a falling off in the league's "majorities, r Last year the average majority for their candidates was 18,000, and this majority is only 7,000. It is to be remembered, however, that no special election, however vital it may be, ever brings out anything like the regular vote, and that even at a general election, when amendments to the constitution are submitted and the voers are actually at the polls, the vote on amendments usually falls far below that cast for candidates. It may be said that these amendments are frequently concerned with matters in which the voters are not interested, or which they do not understand, and that this is not the case In North Dakota, But New York was vitally Interested in the woman .suffrage amendment In 1917, and understood It perfectly, yet the vote for and against suffrage was 129,829 less than the vote on the attorney generalship', that being the only state office to be filled at

by much less than half the normal vote, should show us that. We must wait for the 'total vote in North Dakota to see if the falling off signifies anything, and even then appearances may be deceptive. There is, however, one significant and important point in this lessened majority concerning which there cannot be any doubt. The Greman voters deserted the league. Emmons, Logan, Mcintosh, Morton and Stutsman counties are called German counties in the sense that men of that race predominate, and last November, when the war was still going on, these voters were almost a unit for the league and its candidates. All these counties turned against the league at this election. The Germans, it seems, were not interested in the league's socialistic program at all. They voted for other reasons. It is evidence of the nature of the league's Americanism. Whatever may have been the intentions of the league, the voters of German blood knew well what the effect of Its activities would be. This single fact should fix permanently the position of the league in the mind of any doubting Thomas, whatever may happen to Townley in his trial for sedition. All these things, however, are of little importance compared with the fact that one of these United States has undertaken the experiment of state socialism and has, o to speak, bet its prosperity on the success of the venture. The rest of the country will watch with interest to see who wins the bet, North Dakota or economic laws.

But if his experiences were to him incomprehensible, they were by no means so to the authorities.

Crown Prince's Bath Suite Amuses Yankee Doughboys WASHINGTON. July 3. American soldiers with the Army of Occupation at Neuenahr, Germany, are finding great interest in a suite of rooms in the former Palatial hotel that now serves as an army base hospital. The rooms are known as the "Crown

Prince's Bath Suite," being a part of the quarters often occupied by Frederick Wilhelm. The suite is used by the Home Service section of the American Red Cross. Doughboys spend most of their time cracking jokes at the former royal occupant's expense. Before the war the hotel was famous for mineral baths. The dressing room adjoining the former prince's bath is separated by luxurious velvet draperies. The bath is in the Roman style, faced with white tiling, is set in the floor and reached by a short flight of steps.

THE GEOR3E MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK WHAT IS THE INEVITABLE? The Inevitable is what you make happen. Things do not stumble to pass they are brought to pass. And every man who gathers the reins of doing into his hands, firmly holding and guiding them, gets into the direction and moves toward the goal which his determination resolves upon. The Inevitable gets blamed for a lot of things. When things go wrong, people say, "Oh well, it was bound to come out this way." But most things come to pass because people will them that way. It may be unconsciously; it may be ju6t the mustering of forces within, which one does not understand or does not collect or master. But whatever the cause, the Inevitable comes about largely through personal desire. The Inevitable may always be largely under our own control. Life Is a movement. Nothing stands still. The mind never rests. Even when the body is lost daring its period of oblivious sleep, the brain keeps directing, the heart keeps pumping, and the lungs do their task. The Inevitable surely comes about, but it must be directed If you want It to make you happy. It is a great thing to plan on the Inevitable. But what is the Inevitable? Why, it's what you are! It's what other people make you. Its what events and happenings suggest to you. Its the pounding Into your soul of the seething, rushing feeling In the world that makes you want to be a doer and a factor in the very events that pass through you and about you. Do not let the Inevitable trouble you. Master it. And then it will make everything you do, right and satisfacory. There is no Inevitable except as you motion It your way.
