The Public and Boston's Police Strike Two phases of the public strike in Boston are of interest first, the speed with which the underworld seized upon an opportunity to loot; secondly, the decision of the public to protect its rights. The case of Boston shows how eager are thugs and crooks to take advantage of an opportunity to loot, murder, attack women, destroy property and engage in scoundrelism generally. It shows how vile a small percentage of our population is, and how quickly the wolves of the underworld can spring at the throat of society, once the restraining hand of law is lifted for a moment. Not so long ago we wondered how it was possible for the populace of Petrograd and Berlin to tolerate the conditions that prevailed there. And yet today we have manifestations of the same spirit in our own country and in a city that for decades has been looked upon as the hub of conservatism and order. We cannot maintain an orderly state of society unless our officers of the law remain faithful In their allegiance to the community and state. Policemen and other employes of the public are as entitled to fair play and adequate pay as anyone else, of course. They have no right to abandon and betray those who depend upon them for

protection from the vicious and criminal. If

police forces generally will quit work as a whole, how long will we have to wait for general pandemonium and anarchy ?

One of the most significant developments of

the situation, however, was the demand of the public for protection of its rights. As soon as the results of the police strike began to seriously threaten life and property, the public let it be known in unmistakable terms that the worm would turn. The effort to force a general strike in support of the police failed on Thursday night.

The Christian Science Monitor gives the appended interpretation and commentary on this phase of the case: "The labor organizations refused to be stampeded into action, and determined to take a little longer to think. They probably recognized the fact that the police strike was decidedly unpopular with the worm, and strikes which find the worm solidly opposed to them have a way of collapsing. Now the worm has decided that police strikes are an outrage on society, and it has offered that opinion quite freely in London as well as Boston. If the alternative is a general strike with machine guns in the streets, and soldiers for policemen, the worm is letting it be known that, in its opinion, today is as good as any other time ; and the worm has a wonderful spine, when it elects to turn. At the same time there should be no question of the police being forced into a strike by inadequate pay. The duties of the

police are at once onerous and dangerous, and jail races

there should be no question about their being properly paid. "The real solution of the whole question lies, it need scarcely be said, in a clear understanding of justice. When a controversy is entered upon the human mind is so innately unfair that it refuses, almost unconsciously, to consider both fzides of the question. It utters its ultimatum, To your tents, O Isreal ! quite oblivious of the fact that there are commonly two Isreals, each equally certain that it is 'the chosen people.' A determination, on each side, to be fair to the other might not bring about an agreement, but it would at least prepare the ground for one. The mistake of the two jovial millers, after the proverbial manner of millers, has been that they have ignored the rights of all men but themselves. The profiteer has summed up his creed in the maxim, 'All the Public will stand' ; the unions in the phrase, 'Let the Public pay'. The pub

lic apparently is always anybody but yourself. However, as Lord Clifford told King Henry, 'The smallest worm will turn, being trodden on.' And Lord Clifford gave utterance to a great human truism." The Challenge to Courage

All of us perhaps have been perturbed by the general feeling of unrest in our republic. Grave industrial problems cause concern. Disorders are almost daily occurrences. The thin veneer of civilization has been ripped off our social organization by more than one overt act in the last two, or three months. We wonder if the republic can solve the questions. There is a temptation to take a gloomy view of the situation. In the face of these disquieting possibilities the Kansas City Star remarks that there are two ways of facing them. One is the way of timidity, the other the way of courage. It says : "Prof. William James, the psychologist, classified human beings in two groups the tender minded and the tough minded. The tender minded, he said, were those who wanted a guarantee of safety before coming into the world. They would be wretched unless they could get somewhere an absolute assurance that the world was foreordained to come out right. The tough minded were those who looked on life as a great adventure which they faced with enthusiasm. They recognized a chance that things might go wrong. But they were willing to take that chance. All they asked was a fair field and opportunity to fight for what they believed in. "In this sort of an epoch, with many of the ancient landmarks crumbling, the tender minded are apt to give way to panic. The tough minded feel the joy of high adventure. "They do not complain because the process of evolution has not progressed further. They do not sob themselves to sleep because the world is not perfect, because it has not settled down in a final state of bliss. They face facts as they find them. They work with the tools at hand. They expect .to play a man's part in the world as it exists today. They do not spend time in vain lamentations because the world is not different, be

cause mankind has not progressed further along

the road toward civilization. "Lawrence F. Abbott of the Outlook tells in

the World's Work of a characteristic remark of an American who was famous for his joy in liv

ing. A correspondent was telling Colonel Roose-

vest of a visit to Admiral Dewey's home shortly

after the revulsion of feeling against Dewey following his gift of his victory house to his wife.

The admiral was overwhelmed with grief at what he felt was the unjust feeling toward him, and at one time contemplated leaving America and making his home in Europe. When he talked the

matter over with the correspondent he wept.

"Roosevelt listened to the story with interest.

for he had frequently spoken to Mr. Abbott of

the possibility that popular feeling might turn

against him as it had against Dewey. When it was over he turned to his associate with the remark : 'Lawrence, they may treat me like Dewey, but I'll tell you one thing, I shall neither weep nor shall I go to Europe.' "And in that remark Reosevelt spoke like a typical American. This continent was settled by sturdy pioneers. It has attracted the rugged of

The nation has not been coddled. It

has had its fair share of hard knocks, and its people have been trained to face difficule situations confidently in the assurance that their common sense and energy and patriotism would carry them through. "The bulk of Americans are in the toughminded class. They do not sit down and wring their hands in the presence of difficulties. They meet them with the zest of the strong man in the job worthy of his mettle."

Condensed Classics of Famous Authors

CARROLL Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwldge Dodgson) was born in the viilare of Darebury, Cheshire. England. Jan. 27. 1832. He was a mathematician as wen as author, and while the literary life of '"Lewis Carroll" was familiar to a wide circle of readers, the private life of Charles Lutwldge Dodgson was retired and practically uneventful. He took a first class In the final

mathematical school in 1854, and the following year was appointed mathematical lecturer at Christ Church, a post he continued to fill until 1881. He published books of a purely mathematical nature first; but in 1865 he published, under the pseudonym of "Lewis Carroll." "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." a work that was the outcome of his keen sympathy with the imagination of children and their sense of fun. This whimsical story was an immediate success, and the name of "Lewis Carroll" has ever since been a household word. Mr. Dodgson was extremely fond of children, and it was an open secret that the original of Alice was a daughter of Deal Llddel. A dramatic version of the Alice books was produced at Christmas. 1888, and has Throughout this dual existence, Mr. Dodgson persistently refused to be publicly identified with "Lewis Carroll," although his authorship of "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass" was well-known. He died at Guilford on the 14th ot January, 1808; his memory is appropriately kept green by a cot in the Children's Hospital, Great Ormond street, London, which was erected and endowed perpetually by public subscription.

DOES THIS SHOES FIT MR. WILSON? Chicago News. Many people should remember that service, not selfservice, was one great lesson of the war.

BUT WHAT'D HE FIND TO CARVE? Louisville Courier-Journal. Considering the high cost of cutlery and the low pay of military officers, would it not be better to spend that Jl 0.000 for a carving set for General Pershing instead of an ornamental sword?

From the Women Who Gave

Alice sat nodding sleepily on a mossy bank beside her big sister, who was reading. Presently a pink-eyed white rabbit ran by looking at its watch and crying. "Oh, dear I shall be late!" Alice bounded after the Rabbit across a field and Into a hole under a hedge. After running through the hole a distance she suddenly steprjed oft into space aad began to fall. She fell slowly and It was a very pleasant sensation. Alice was wondering whether she would stop at the world's center when, bump! she landed on a heap of leaves unhurt. The Rabbit was scampering down the passage. Springing to her feet she pursued, but it disappeared around the next corner and Alice found herself in a long hall of many doors all locked. On a table was a golden key which fitted the smallest door, only 15 inches high. Unlocking this she beheld a beautiful flower garden, but she could not squeeze through the door. On the table she found a bottlo labelled "Drink Me." Alice tasted it was delicious and 6he drank it all. Soon she shrank to only ten inches In height. "Now I can go into the garden!" cried Alice, running to the door, but, alas, she had relocked It and left the key on the table far beyond her reach. Beneath the table in a glass dish she found a cookie on which were the words, "Eat Me." She ate this and soon grew nine feet tall. Presently the Rabbit entered and seeing Alice fled in dismay, dropping his gloves and fan. Alice picked them up and began to fan herself. Soon she was only two feet high and dropped

the fan in a fright. Thereupon ehe stopped growing smaller and knew it was a magic fan. Hearing footfalls she turned to see the Rabbit standing near. It was nearly as tall as she and seemed very angry. "You go to my house and bring me a pair of gloves and a fan!" commanded the Rabbit, sternly. Alice, badly frightened, started to obey. Strangely enough the hall vanished and she foand herself running through a deep wood. Soon she came to a little white house. The door-plate said "V. Rabbit." Entering she hurried upstairs to the Rabbit's bedroom and found, not gloves and a fan, but a bottle on the bureau. It was not labelled, but Alice drank the contents. She grew so rapidly that the room was hardly big enough to contain her, although che was lying on the floor with her head drawn up to her chin. While In this predicament someone threw' a handful of pebbles through the window into the room. These

turned into bits of candy. Alice ate several of them and soon shrank until she could escape from the house. Running into the wood she sat down beside a mushroom to rest. "What can I do for you?" asked a vonce. Alice looked up and on top of the mushroom sat a blue caterpillar smoking a pipe. "Oh, please, sir," replied Alice, "make me larger!" "That's easy,'; said the Caterpillar; "one side of this mushroom will make you taller and the other side shorter." Before Alice could ask more the Caterpillar disappeared. Alice broke off a piece from each side of the mushroom. After eating a bit of one she grew so short her chin struck her foot. Hastily eatinsr some of the other she grew so tall her head was among the tree-top3.

"Oh, dear, shall I never be my regular

size again! she cried nibbling from the first piece and shrinking down to only nine inches. In despair she started through the wood and soon came to a little house about four feet high. Without knocking Alice walked into the kitchen. The Duchess sat rocking a little pig in

her lap, the Cook was sprinkling quantities of pepper into a kettle of

soup and a Cheshire Cat on the hearth grinned from ear to ear at her. All

But his smile will be grave and his face will be ead, for he will know that he is facing us tho women whose sons and brothers and husbands and sweethearts lie dead on the other side of the world. We are scattered from Maine to Texas and from Washington to Florida. In spirit we will be thronging his pathway, reaching out our empty hands to him, and crying: "Those gallant, laughing boys, splendid and unafraid, whom we trusted to your care? How did they die?" And he will be saying: "They died as soldiers should. They were true and brave. They were true to the training of American mothers, true to their country, true to the traditions of our jjioneers. Facing forward they died always facing forward!"

three sneezed violently from time to time. "Please go away I don't like your grin," said Alice to the Cat "All right," realled the Cat and vanished,

beginning with the tail and ending with the grin but the grin remained after the rest had disappeared. To escape from this horrid grin Alice ran out of the house and into the wood closely pursued by the grin. Seeing a little door open leading into a big tree Alice slipped through and then slammed the door behind her, shutting out the grin. Turning about she at last found herself In the bautiful garden. Standing about a rose-tree near the entrance were three gardeners painting the white roses red. "Why are you doing that?" asked Alice. "Because," replied one, "the Queen does not fancy white roses." "Hush!" said another, "here comes the Queen now!" Alice turned eagerly to behold the royal procession. There were soldiers with clubs, courtiers bedecked with diamonds and the royal children were ornamented with hearts, while in and out among them hopped the White Rabbit. Last of all came the King and Queen of Hearts. When the Queen came to Alice she stopped and asked, "My child, do you play croquet?" "Y-y-y-yes." stammered Alice much confused. "Then here is your mallet," replied the Queen handing Alice a live flamingo. Then the game began and such a crazy game of croquet Alice had never seen. The croquet balls were live hedgehogs and the soldiers bent over to make the arches. Besides the ground

was full of hummocks and ridges. All played at once. When Alice would get ready to hit her ball with the flamingo's head, either the hedgehog would walk off, or the soldier making the arch would stand up to rest his back.

"How do ycu like the game?" asked a voice. Looking up Alice beheld the grin of the Cheshire Cat Before she could answer the Cat's head appeared, but no more of it. "I don't like it at all," replied Alice dropping her mallet which at once flew off. The Cat turned to look at the King, who did not like being grinned at, and complained to the Queen, who ordered the Cat beheaded on the spot "That is all very well," said the King, "but I should like to know how it is possible to behead a cat which has no body?" While they were arguing the Cheshire Cat vanished, head, grin and all. Alice went to look for her flamingo, but could not find it. When ehe returned all the players had gone to the Palace. Alice followed and entering found a trial in progress. The King and Queen sat on their throne hearing the evidence. The Knave of Hearts was being tried for stealing some tarts the Queen had made. Several witnesses testified, but they talked of everything else except the stoln tarts. "What a silly trial!" thought Alice, nibbling absent-mindedly at a piece of mushroom she had left. Almost before she knew it she grew so tall her head bumped against the ceiling. "Call the next witness!" commanded the King. "ALICE!" cried the White Rabbit. "But I don't know anything about the stolen tarts," protested Alice. "That's very important," remarked the King. "It's against the rules for a witness over a mile high to 'testify," said the Queen. "Leave this court at once!" ordered the King addressing Alice. "I shan't leave until I hear the verdict," retorted Alice. "In that case." said the King, "let the jury consider the verdict." "Sentence first and verdict afterward," objected the Queen. "How absurd to have a sentence before a verdict!" said Alice scornfully. "Off with that girl's head!" shouted the Queen pointing at Alice. "Will you please stoop down so I can carry

out the Queen's orders?" asked the Royal Executioner politely. "No, I wont!" cried Alice; "you are all nothing but a naughty pack of cards anyhow and I am not afraid of you!" Thereupon the whole pack rose up into the air and flew straight into Alice's face. "Come, Alice dear, wake up," said her big sister, Bhaklng her gently; "you've been sleeping nearly an hour and it's time to go home." Then little Alice knew that her wonderful Journey had been only a wonderful dream. Copyright. 1919. by tha Post Publishing1 Company (Tho Boston Post).

To have given gladly, to have suffered nobly, to receive the living generously from where our beloved lie dead across the seas this is the patriotism which makes a nation proud. Longing to march and share and serve, wild with eagerness, aflame with patriotism, we learned to stand and watch them go and smile. Ours they had been. Then they were Pershing's. He held them in his hand. He sent them where they died. If they fought nobly and lived, he Bent them back to fight again. Weep not, ye women whose sons and brothers were sent again and then again though now they march In the unseen army the army of the living dead.

Look deeply, gratefully, into eyes of him who sent I them Into battle, and exchanged their lives for liberty. That is what we gave them for.

A famous woman teacher, eighty years old, was sitting on the verada

of a college dormitory in her wheel chair. A student had Just brought her some ice water in her silver mug and the teacher had finished drinking it, when some tourists came up, saw her - holding out her cup, and they dropped a half dollar in it. Snort, the hotel manager, and Jobby, a manufacturer's agent, were talking about their respective business interests. "I say," remarked Jobby, "how do you use such an enormous quantity of pears and peaches?" "Well," replied Snort, "we eat what we can, and what we can't eat we can." "Indeed," said the other. "We do about the same in our business." "We sell and order when we can sell it, and when we cant, we cancel it."
