Indictments were returned against the persons who maliciously destroyed property. This report to the judge of the circuit court censures the police department for its failure to check the rioting in its incipiency. What it has to say in regard to the unionizing of police officers and firemen is distinctly to the

point. Members of the police and fire depart

department, which cannot be maintained if its members are constantly bent on finding fault and creating unrest. Neither can this object be maintained if firemen have it within their power to quit their posts in a body whenever they believe an injustice has been done them individually or collectively. In this particular, the citizens again accept as just and correct the report of the grand jury in deprecating the unionising of the fire department. The Coyle case illustrates the point. Members of the fire department must look upon themselves as public officers who should not be influenced by considerations other than that of the common good. The rights of the members of the fire department will be protected by public opinion," and, as said before, if an injustice is done a member the citizens of Richmond will not be slow in letting the city administration know that wrongs must be righted. Members of the grand jury and the prosecuting attorney have done a public service in bringing about the indictment of the persons who wantonly destroyed property. The law must be enforced, and the Jaw-abiding citizens of the community will stand behind the authorities in seeing that it is. The principles of good citizenship which the grand jury incorporated in its report as they pertain to police and fire protection are fundamentally sound and American. The number of

have no entangling alliances. He must be free to act without regard to the wishes or claims of any organization, be it labor, political or religious. Both the fire and police departments will be quickly demoralized if their members join an organization that may call them from duty at will. No police officer or fireman has the right to strike, to forsake his post, to leave the city at the mercy of thugs and crooks, to expose prop-' ?rty to a fire hazard. The judgment of the grand jury on these points is a correct and just one. On the other hand, every well disposed citizen believes police officers and firemen should be paid adequate salaries for the risk they run and the danger and inconvenience incidental to their callings. If the police department of this city is undermanned and underpaid, it is the duty of the city administration to appropriate enough money to pay substantial wages and to obtain enough men to guarantee police protection. This question is one of administration. The

Unconscious Saviors of the Allies? The great mistake of the German government, writes Von Tirpitz, was in following a course of weakness in carrying through its submarine policy. Thus, after the Lusitania was torpedoed, the

imperial government should have boldly declared

the legality of the act, and as bravely asserted

its intention to 'keep on with the ruthless slaughter of non-combatants. Its course in seeming to yield consideration to President Wilson's protests was one of weakness and poltoonery, the admiral

TOLSTOI Count Leo Tolstoi was born In 1828 at Tasnaya Polyana. near Toula. mous throughout the world as thethe family estate that has become fa residence f the great novelist, reformer and dreamer. He died in 1910 at if. "J railroad station which he had reached on a Journey the object of wh cn was to let him end his days In solitude. But a whole world was looking- on.

At first he studied oriental languages, then law, and finally became a. soldier, taking part In the Crimean campaign. His long series of writings began with 'Childhood," "Boyhood," "The Morning of a Landed Proprietor," and articles on his experiences as a soldier. His realism was already a dominant note, as well as his power to see through shams and conventions. He soon retired from the army and began his life of service to the peasants about him at his own estate. "War and Peace'' Appeared in 1864-69, and the great novel "Anna arenlna," 1875-76. Already he was dealing with the mighty problems of life and humanity and trying to solve them in whatever way seemed to him right, no matter what answer the world had given to them. "My Religion." "The Kreutser Son-, ata," "Resurrection," are perhaps the best known books, which have been translated Into many languages, including two editions published in America, of some two dozen volumes each, one by Nathan Haskell Dole and others, one by Prof. Leo Wiener. A whole library of books has been written about him In munvknsruaeea.

Tolstoi is one of the unique figures in the history of the world. Seer, prophet, fearless seeker after truth, no matter where the quest might lead, he drew to himself the respectful attention of all thinking people, no matter how divergent their thoughts from his. His belief that Christianity is a faith to be actually lived by and his championship of the doctrine of non-resistance are the outstanding points of a thought which covered all humanity.

Anna Karenina's intimates were of this circle in St. Petersburg society. Practically forced into a loveless marriage with Aleksie Karenin, twenty years her senior, Anna had been a faithful wife for eight years. Karenin held a high official position and everything in his life was subordinated to his career. He was a tireless worker and such social hours as he enjoyed were spent in circles best suited to his advancement, but his charming and adaptable wife made friends in all quarters. While a man of damirable character, Karenin had an uterly unlovable personality. He

In spite of their endeavors to hide the magic glow which enveloped them, it was obvious to Kitty as to others, that Anna and Vronsky had both been touched by the same flaming torch. Anna Karenina had met her man. She knew it. She was afraid. Her customary serenity deserted her so completely that she left for' Petersburg the next day, cutting short her visit. The calm routine of her daily

life took on a new and attractive aspect; she longed to see her son even her husband. But Vronsky took the same train to Petersburg. They met constantly In society. Anna called all the forces of reason, prudence, pride, to her aid, but she could not conceal the rapture she felt in Vronsky's presence. Her intimates became extremely interested. This

Marian's aunt, Elsie Randolph, studied medicine and then married a doctor, and the two of them continued their practice. Her uncle was a carpenter, but he played in an orchestra and wrote poetry besides, and her own mother and father had married when rather young and after scrimping and saving tor a few years they both entered a university. Her father studied law and her mother music. Thus it seems that Marian was expected to do the unusual thing for "she came of that queer Randolph family," as her acquaintances put it. Won Scholarship. Marian was not sent to school until

she was nine. Until that time her mother taught her at home. When she did enter she was put in the third grade because she was so far advanced. This was typical of her whole life. She always had the highest grades in her class and it seemed no effort at all for her to get her lessons. She studied music long before she studied arithmetic and reading and she was far advanced when she started to school. Her mother taught her music and Marian showed remarkable talent when she was very young. In high Bchool she did excellent work In all of her studies and when she finished her studies there she took examinations and won a scholarship for college. The ' scholarship paid only her tuition, however, and so she thought that she would not be able to go on higher

after all, for the Randolphs, while rich in knowledge, refinement, culture and all of the finer things of life, had very lUtle money. Marian finally overcame the money obstacle by getting backward scholars to tutor and teaching music to some of the younger children in the town. Her college career was nothing short of marvelous. She took the four-year music course in three and then was graduated with the highest honors. Her college life was fax from being a dull one, even though she had to work very hard, she attended dances, parties and other social affairs just like other girls. She went to football

In fact she did about everything tht one person could do in the musical line. The next year Marian and Ralph were married. Helen gave up her work Just long enough to have a short honeymoon and then she returned to her teaching and Ralph entered medical school. The following year Marian started a conservatory of music, at first on a small scale and later she enlarged her quarters and her teaching staff. She herself teaches very few pupils now. only the ery advanced ones, for she has to direct the school and take care of the business end of it. la She a Success? Ralph has finished his course at medical school, and is now Dr. Ralph Waite, but Marian still conducts her conservatory, which is the best school of its kind in the large city where it is located. Her husband has Just started his practice and he does not make onehalf as much as she does, but neither of them think of that for both of them are doing what they want to and both of them are doing something worth while. Marian often takes pupils who show promise and teaches them without fee and she always helps organize, instruct or teach in some of the poorer districts where there are people interested in music. Marian says she may sometime give

up her conservatory, but she will never give up her music and her teaching, for she enjoys it too much, and her husband, who was once opposed to her teaching after her marriage, is now as interested in her work as she is in his "cases."

opinion generally opposes these methods. The situation in Richmond has been focused on the dismissal of John Coyle, captain of company No. 3. The board of works has shown that he was given a hearing on charges that were inimical to the discipline of the department and that the question of wages did not enter into the controversy. His conduct, the board asserts, was against good discipline and the maintenance of a sound morale. Consequently, the board holds that his dis

have respected some truculent conversation.) His spineless attitude enraged her, and by the end of a year she and Vronsky had become all in all to each other. They had but one object in life to be together. Karenin waited for the blow to fall. It was finally accomplished by Anna's public exhibition of emotion when Vronsky met with a racing accident. Upon being upbraided by her husband, she confessed her love for Vronsky. Mingled with the pain, Karenin felt a sense of relief. He immediately began to plan on getting out of the

He had a magnificent country estate of eighty-one hundred acres, plenty of money and his sare of masculine attractions. He was a thinker, always immersed in the depest problems concerning the world, everything in it, on it and beyond it. He had been brought up in the Orthodox faith, but, since attaining manhood, had been assailed with all kinds of doubts, until now he was practically an unbeliever. "He could not believe; he was also equally unable to disbelieve." After completing his university course, he spent most of his time on his great estate, wrestling with his problems of agricultural and peasant labor. He came into Moscow on occasions and dipped into its social life, but his own life was so clean and simple that he had little patience with the dissipations of his town friends. Kitty's parents had many quarrels over her prospects. Her mother favored the brilliant Vronsky; her father said "Levin was worth a thousand men."

He became much interested in uplifting his peasants, who did not appreciate his efforts. He reached the conclusion that they had found the way to happiness, but one glimpse of Kitty showed him his error and stirred up his old feeling for her. Kitty's health had so failed after her disappointment in Vronsky, that she had been sent abroad to take a cure. Now. having been restored to health and having a new outlook on life, she realized that it was Levin whom she really loved, and when he again asked for her hand, she gladly consented.

From the Indianapolis Star. THE fact that pestilences so often have followed in the footsteps of war and famine gives rise to the disquieting possibility that the world may yet be visited by epidemics. Even those countries which had made the greatest advances In sanitation and medicine have experienced disorganization of their administrative machinery. The guarding of public health is such an important consideration that governmental action should be required to safegaurd whole continents from the effects of various epidemics. The least progressive countries, which have accomplished practically nothing along sanitary lines, menace their neighbors who have taken every precaution, and steps should be taken to protect the world from the evil effects of the laggard. An article contributed to the New York Medical Journal urges the creation immediately of an international health commission, the duty of which shall be to investigate, to supervise and to co-ordinate protective measures the world over, not superseding local bodies of the same nature when they exist, but assisting them to whatever extent they can be helped and bringing pressure to bear on lands that by doing nothing to free themselves from infectious diseases are a constant menace to all their neighbors. It should not be possible for any country to remain a center of international pestilence along the lines of trade and travel. Typhus, cholera and bu

bonic plague are among the maladies doming under that category, and already their presence Ufa been discovered in some of the war-worn countries. Bylnext summer they may constitute a menace of the gravest character. A beginning along these lines wasj made as far back as 1903, when an international sanitffc-y conference was beld in Paris. An agreement then maifte for the management of yellow fever, cholera and Vna plague was ratilied at another similar conference in 1907. An office of public hygiene was established at Pais, which has been functioning more or less for the lajjt eleven years, its task being chiefly the collection arjd dissemination of news relative to public health in vaifious countries. If the world is to combat successively the various diseases which threaten it, somebody fj.ith more than advisory power is needed. No small part of the world's population is In such a physical condition that little resistance can be put up where food cas been lacking for years and the mental strain has like f vise impaired bodily well-being.

THE GEORCLE MATTHEW" ADAMS DAILY TALK TOE WAY TO THINK The sound and word of what we say doesn't always square with what we think. It Is so much safer and happier to take a longer time to think than to talk. And as we older grow, we learn this. There la nothing more important than the way we think. In the same way that our actions have an influence upon those who are near to us, so do our thoughts have an inside influence upon our thoughts yet unborn. We are our own best or worst companions. Thoughts are deeds! The way that you think is the way that you are. The philosophy of a sound mind In a sound body is one of the greatest in life. Clean thoughts are indicative of a clean and healthy body. We are stimulated by those of our friends and companions who think. The man or woman who cleanly and honestly thinks, Is on the road to certain success. When a nation stops thinking, It dies and is followed by one that does think. Every process of unfolding in this world among men must continue to be fathered by serious and earnest thought. In any emergency the first thing to do is to think! The greatest thing that any master of education can do, Is to teach one how to think. For to think is the beginning of all action. And it is the WAY in which you think that stamps you as one of worth vor worthless. Think, correctly and you are bound to ta v correctly. Think cleanly and you are sure to live cleanly.

They returned to Russia and settled in the country. Anna's position became so unbearable to Vronsky, who adored her, that he finally urged her to appeal to Karenin for a divorce. When Karenin refused, owing to various circumstances, matters grew worse than ever. Anna could not go into society, so became introspective. Without cause, she grew very jealous of Vronsky.
