Two Real Mayors The courageous stand of Mayor Hansen of Seattle against the radicalism of a misguided portion of the population of that city and the determination of Mayor Smith of Omaha to uphold the law in his municipality prove that American manhood has not lost its potency or courage. Mayor Hansen became a national figure after he forced the radicals to respect the law. His biography is known to every reader of the newspapers. Little so far is known of Mayor Smith, but the courageous stand he took to uphold the dignity of the law and the sanctity of the principle of order, even when a rope had been placed around his neck, proves that he is a rugged American. In the face of what seemed to be death he remained true to his duty as chief executive of the city of Omaha. Let the men who are sworn to uphold the law and preserve order defy death in quelling mobs and radicals who are attempting to undermine the stability of American institutions, and you are establishing a precedent that will have a wholesome effect. Mayor Smith did not try to dodge the issue but faced it manfully. He saw his line of duty plainly, and the threat of the mob was no deterrent. This spirit of respect for the orderly processes of our law is what all of us need to learn. Our institutions have been established through years of painstaking building. It is folly to permit them to be destroyed overnight by misguided radicals and hysterical mobs. The conservative spirit of America finds its voice in men like the mayors of Seattle and Omaha.

ally the whole cormtry would be russianized. Do the railway workers of England believe if they obtain possession of the roads and operate them for their own benefit that the rest of the people would be satisfied to pay tremendous increases in freight and passenger rates so that this one class could: enjoy what it erroneously believes is its share? What would the rail worRers do if the whole country would rise in protest against the increased rateg and demand modifications? Cessation of operation would not relieve the situation. In truth, the country would oust the workers who had taken possession Qf the roads, and in the last analysis the working conditions of the railway men would be worse than it was before.

The Real Issue in Great Britain Premier Llyod George was not deceived by the demands of the rail workers of Great Britain. It was not standardization of wages that the railroad men wanted but ultimate control of the transportation system. To obtain this end they

were willing to jeopardize the welfare of the country and to make a fight on all the people of the nation. "What is being sought is to overturn the regularly accepted methods of government," says the Cincinnati Enquirer, "and place in the hands of certain members of a class dictatorial powers over a necessary social function the transportation of goods and people. There is but little concealment of the fact that if this revolutionary strike is successful other functions will be seized and operated not primarily for the common good, but for the benefit of those who capture them. Jt would not tax the mental powers of a schoolboy to foretell what the ultimate result of a policy of this kind would be. Chaos would, indeed, come again and discord would reign in the place of the harmony toward which all beneficial movements are marching." Is there any wonder that Lrloyd' George, himself a warm friend of labor, is denouncing the paralysis of Great Britain's transportation systems as anarchy? The ultimate outcome of the success of this movement would be hopeless confusion. The miners by the same token would take possession of the mines and operate them, not for the good of the whole social state, but for the exploitation of a class. Workers in other industries would follow the same course, until fin-

Studying Our Prison System The visit of thte Imperial Indian Prison Commission to the charitable and correctional institutions of Indiana suggests the important part which citizens of Richmond have taken in the solution of this social problem. The state penal farm at PutnamviBe is the outgrowth of a movement fostered by the Richmond Commercial club, and the many reforms that have been made in penal institutions of this country are intimately connected with the humanitarian work of Timothy Nicholson. One of the results of the tour which the Indian commission is making will be the introduction of vocational work; among the prisoners of that country. It has not been so many decades ago that the welfare of a prisoner was a secondary consideration of his sentence to a prison. The punitive feature of his incarceration was uppermost in the minds of his keepers, and as a result he was forced to endure cruelties of the most revolting Kind. Reformation of the man and his return to society with a new view of life and desire to follow the narrow path were factors that were given little attention.

COOPER To James Fenlmore Cooper's boyhood may be traced his genius for picturing primeval fqrests and adventures alive with thrill. Son of a hardy and vigorous pioneer, he lived by a rushing1 stream at the vry edge

of a deep, mysterious wilderness, in' which lurked wild men and wild beasts. About the great roaring; fire in his father's hospitable hall sat men--of indomitable will and daring. They had grappled with nature and with, men in their most primitive ft-roclty. They told true but lurid tales of doings that profoundly stirred the ditto's imagination. These men risked death and torture to carry on the life of their new country; so the boy James was saturated with that patriotism which vividly rings through his life and characterizes so Clearly his writings. Small wonder is it that this child later set himself the task of describing the frontier scenes of his native land, and achieved the famous -L.eatherstocking Tales" which have kindled the hearts of so many adventure loving boys. Of these "The Pathfinder." and 'Deerslayer" seemed to Cooper himself his best novels. They were both violently assailed when they first appeared, because their author had created so much per

sonal hostility. Nevertheless they had large sals. and of "The Pathno less a personage than Balaa.- writes: "It is beautiful it is

The early influences of Cooper's life probablv led also to the activities of his last years, when he devoted himself to vast agricultural experiments. His father had helped to conquer the forest; lie set himself to conquer the soil.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAI LY TALK

THE STRANGER

Outside every man's and woman's heart sits the Stranger. And the Stranger keeps watching! None of us really knows himself as he really It. The Stranger dally smiles, and ofttiraes has to tell ua to keep braveand calm and human. We are sorely perplexed and, as dusk comes, perhaps we 6ay: "Let's go out on the front steps where the Stranger Bits and find out what's the matter." And the Stranger, like some silent angel, tell3 us about ourselves. And we are cheered. The Stranger of our heart sees the great world go by. And learns from its experience what is best for us. That is why we trust our Stranger. And yet our Stranger Is no respector of what we are, or who we are. Inexorable in frank and open censure, it is our Stranger that is kindness of all and loves us most. The Stranger of. our heart would not let an enemy in without th fullest warning. For the Stranger is always a part of the household life of the heart and we love our Stranger without knowing who he really is! So let us feed our Stranger warm him before th warmest fires of our inside life and assure him that we need him and want him. Because, you see, the Stranger understands being our better and finer self, which so few are ever able to understand ven ourselves!

When the young white hunters, Deerslayer and Hurry Harry, reached the Lake Gliramerglass, the Hurons were on the warpath. Floating Tom Hutter, the only settler on the lake, knew the red-men's ways and had built his house on piles, a quarter of a mile from shore. With him lived his daughters, Judith, handsome and flirtatious, and Hetty, a young woman with the mind of a child. Hurry Harry, a handsome giant of the woods, had been one of Judith's many wooers. Floating Tom had another home, this Ark, a crude houseboat propelled by sweeps and a sail. Here the hunters found him. As the Ark passed an overhanging sapling, warriors, bedaubed by war paint, leaped for the roofv Thou Toll ir,t. 1Y,a tUo K,it vnllo n rwl

The two men were soon rejoined by Deerslayer, who had accepted a furlough to return at noon the next day if Hist and Judith refused to become Huron squaws. To Hurry's disgust, Deerslayer announced that he intended to keep his pledge. It meant death by torture, and Hurry could not understand how honor could drive a man insane. The giant left the lake stealthily that night but promised to guide back a company of soldiers. Judith, having dismissed Hurry forever, tried to tell Deerslayer that she lov.-.i him.

The warrior who had hoped to wed Hist hurled his knife at his rival, hut Hist struck up his hand and he fell, Big Serpent's knife quivering in his breast. The redmen scattered for their gun's, but now a tramping was heard. Redcoats appeared among the trees, led by Hurry. Deerslayer's rifle crackled and two Hurons fell. The rest, cut off from escape, were butchered or made prisoners. Hetty was mortally wounded, but none of the others were hurt. JuJith flung away her reserve as they were leaving this scene of bloodshed, and implored Deerslayer to marry her. But he remembered her past, and her beauty could not move him. She turned away and walked on with the soldiers. The captain had been her ardent wooer of the past, and rumors came later to America that on his great English estate lived a lady of rare beauty who 'did not bear his name. Whether or not it was Judith, Deerslayer never knew. He trod another trail, with Big Serpent and Hist, back to the Delawares. The Hurons long knew his wrath, but 15 years passed before he saw GMmmerglass again. His heart beat faster as he looked upon the ruined house and Ark, upon that silent sheet of lovely water fringed by dep woods and green hills.

Discoverer Tells Druggists Not to Take a Cent of Anyone's Money Unless Allenrhu Completely Banishes All Rheumatic Pains and Twinges. Mr. James H. Allen sufered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work. He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the accumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body. With this idea in mind he consulted physicians, made experiments and finally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system. He freely gave his discovery to others who took it, with v. hat mich be called marvelous fucccfs.

What Other Editors Say

From the New York Times.

Is'E of the best papers Secretary Carter Glass has

written in his letter to 20.000,000 school boys and! girls (the figures are his own) urging them to save

their pennies and acquire the habit of thrift for life. "To rear the tender thought, to teach the young idoa how to thoot," James Thompson hailed as a "delightful tak." If the young idea can be trained to waste not want not, the consitiution will be strengthened and lights of meni ,.nd of property made more secure. Exulting in the resources of thir country, the American people have been spendthrifts. The dollar has been not so much a measure of value as a measure of self-indulgence. So, at least, it

At last the two women passed them. Big Serpent dragged his beloved toward the canoe; Deerslayer clutched the old woman, but her screams alarmed the camp.

doubt in many cases. Millions of Americans for the first time had a handshaking acquaintance with Thrift. But the habit was not formed, it was only suggested. Educators, economists, reformers saw that the country's salvation might depend upon the practice of economy. There is no affinity between the owner of a savings bank book and a radical who wants to overturn the institutions of the country. The revolution the American people need is a revolution : from waste to thrift. To bring it about the enlistment of very young Americans of both sexes is essential. As Sec.etary Glass says in addressing the school children, "The responsibility of all the problems of our country will ultimately fall upon you." If the 20,000,000 can be induced to save, the national budget will be under broader scrutiny. Secretary Glrss is building better than he knows. If young America hoards its pennies, congress 'will have to look after the dollars. A thrifty people, a thrifty congress! So there is to be a Thrift Day in the schools, when the secretary's letter will be read, with emphasis upon his fijpU paragraph, which points out that habits of saving
