we did not investigate in advance or ve could nver have criticised him fr fining ;i more or P.-ss, imiorant si- J loon keeper for selling Jiquor to a ehihl sent by ;i si k parent to make the purchase, arid then b iting a wealthy manufacturer go on suspended sentence for violating the automobile li-ccn.-e l;iw. He excuses tile latter oil the ground that it was; a mere technieal violation of the statute. We wonder if the former wasn't also. Toe story about the manufacturer and his unlicensed Ford is that he bad purchased it only a " short- time ;.-0 to be exact. February - l and though he had sent for a license, it hadn't come yet. That is true, all ery true: but, he had a temporary I .".-day license furnished him under the law by the dealer, and appears not to have been displaying one of the tags provided him under that had lost the thing. Technical violation was it? Accepting the Jurist's plea, we are still lost in the maze of inconsistency. In the west end Tsick man needed, or thought he needed, some liquor. Ho was unable to go to the saloon and Ket it. He constituted his child his agent, lurnished bim with the money and sent him on the errand. The child uas to have taken the liquor home to his parent. There is no question but that the law on the statute books against selling .liquor to minors was placed there for the protection vf minors: to keepthem from being started on the downward road during their tenderest years. Conditions such as arose in this particular case was probably never dreamed of by the legislators, and even if it had been, the legislation was quite proper. Knowing the circum- i stances of the child coming for the liquor, however, there Is- very little evidence of eulpal.de intent on the. part of the .liquor dealer, in letting him have it. It is just as much a technical violation of the law as was the case of the man with the automobile. The absence of culpable intent is as evi-1 dent in one case as In the other. We .'tccordinirly Mill insist that under the judge's own plea'in self-defense, there is very little, by way of comparison, tn Inspire the west end man with wholesome respect for our discriminating jurisprudence. He is poor, untutored; the victim, more or less, of disadvantage, all the way up from his cradle. The man with an automobile is rich, educated, enjoying all the advantages one could wish. If either is to be exempted lrom technical violations of the law, it would seem that justice and mercy should favor the former, at least, as much as the latter. We do not blame the judge for being peeved. Peevishness is his natural prerogative. a it:ast or i:i.oQn-:.ci-:. Not the least among the advantages accruing from the proximity of an -ducational institution of the character and broad intluenee of Notre lame is the opportunity given the people of Eolith Fend to see and hear famous men. scuch pri ib ges have been many in the past, but arc growing more lieqiicnt under the expanding policy by which the university is guided. Designed primarily for the benefit of the students these privileges are extended with unselfish and cordial courtesy to the people of the city, which is intended and accepted as a recognition of the close and friendly relations of the two communities and of the mutuality of their interests.! Thus the commercialism of the city is sweetened and mellow ed by the con-j tact with an institution which appeals to the loftier impulses of mankind. I fome of the most eminent men of this and other countries have graced the halls of Notre Dame with their present e. Priests, poets, philosophers, statesmen and musicians have spread their jewels at the feet of the university and in a neighborly way South pend has been invited to come and sec. to feast their minds ami souls on the gems of thought, the silver speech and the golden chords of music. The climax f tht se intellectual festivals seemed to have hern reached in the ceremonies marking the presentation of the svrd of Meagher to Notre Dame. It mu.-t be a tare occasion when thne M;ch gifted men as those who spcke to the sentiment of the evening are in conjunction. It -was such an occasion that brought these three men together and caused them to speak from the same theme. Sen. Thomas J. Walsh, the Rev. John c'avanaugh and- William P.ourke Cochran sounded its heK'hths and depths. Each v hen he had concluded seemed to have exhausted the subject, but each in his turn found new truths to utter and new garlands to weave.

Irish eloquence and patriotism were exalted not only by the sentiments of the speakers but by the spirit and beauty with which they were expressed. Tin: siioi;sriu.i c;.mi:. If the operations of the Chicago board of trade are a?, described by Samuel II. Greeley of thftt city lief ore the rules committee of the lower house of congress they are certainly prcmer subjects for congressional in ouiry. If, as Mr. Greeley testified, the! board has degenerated from a commercial organization to "a shoestring gambling house", it is time to abolish the institution. This Is the result. Mi. Greeley said, of put and call legislation by the Illinois assembly, which had forced the institution to throw open its doors to "this $3 and $10 bet , game", and the put and call legislation is a direct result of public warehouse! men such as Armour. Poavey, John C. .'chaffer. Posenbaum and PartlettFruzier controlling the future .and cash markets by the possession of grain in storage. Legitimate trading was throttled. The situation is made an interstate affair by the fact that farmers in all the surrounding states are at the mercy of the Chicago hoard of trade. These farmers are now demanding a. thorough investigation. They insist that the failures of the legislature and courts of Illinois to afford relief shall be remedied by congressional action and that the systematic process by which they and the public at large have been held up and robbed by a small coterie of conspirators shall cease. ' Similar conditions exist In other states farther removed frm the Chi cago influence. The board of trade of Minneapolis and that in Cincinnati control the markets In their respective states in a similar manner and all are subject to congressional investigation through their interstate operations. rim: ihi:vi:ntio.v. From a theory fire prevention is j developing into a condition in the I state of Indiana. The creation of a state lire marshal and the organization of the State Fire Prevention association have given impetus to the movement, and the formation .of local leagues will add to its elliciency. Much improvement has been made in late years in the character of construction used in buildings, and this is food as far as It goes, but the trouble i:: that in most cities and towns the buildings in which business and manufacturing are conducted are not of modern type. They were built when four walls, a roof and flooring were considered the important things with little regard to the materials used and the manner in which they were put together. Fires were regarded as Inevitable wh- n these buildings were erected, but it is now known that tire is not inevitable, that it appears only where P. is encouraged to appear by placing inflammable materials in exposed positions. Fire is no more inevitable than smallpox or tuberculosis, btit if opportunity is given it "catches". The modern idea is to prevent the appearance of both disease and fire. The recent inspection of building conditions In South Ind should be regarded merely as a temporary precaution. P.y correcting defects it gives tire prevention a good start, but it is not of an enduring character. Eternal igilance is the price of freedom from tires as well as that of libi crty. A IU-:.I1TI CAMPAIGN. Dr. Charles Posenbtiry, president of the city board of health, is about to inaugurate a sanitary campaign intended to materially improve the health conditions of the city. The first step outside of regular routine will be an attempt to abolish spitting on the sidewalks and in other public places. Next is contemplated a city health conference to be addressed by specialists in sanitation and hygiene. Among them Dr. Walter A. Evans, the Chicago health authority, and Dr. Clifford C.rulee of the same city, a speciali.-t in child welfare, are mentioned. This movement is intended to be helpful to the people of the rity. to hiaking living conditions more favorable and life more worth the liv ing.

Wilson read to the Joint body Thursday afternoon urging the repeal of the free tolls clause of the canal law. It was marked by simplicity and the earnestness of conviction. It was couched in language which conveyed the full import of the message in the mind of the president. The message was based on the principle that "trie large thins to do is the only thing we can afford to do", and that what we can least- afford to do is to maintain a position founded upon a false conception of economic policy. At first blush it seemed a reasonable and good thing to give American coastwise vessels exemption from tolls in the Panama canal as an eneouragement to American shipping, but it was very soon made apparent to us that we couhl not honestly do this. Whether Great P.ritain was more farsighted in framing the terms of the Ilay-Pauncefate treaty is not material at this time. The point is that tb treaty provides the shipping of all nations shall be admitted to the canal on equal terms. This is Great Britain's interpretation, it is concurred in by other maritime nations and wf are beginning to nee it ourselves. We cannot conscientiously violate a treaty we have accepted, nor is there humiliation or dishonor in receding from a false position. On the contrary, as Pres. Wilson indicates n his message, the repeal of the free tolls clause will maintain "our reputation for generosity and the redemption of every- obligation without quibble or hesitation". Besides, we will be consistent with the new American policy of giving special privileges to none. The finai wecrge has been driven Into the crack separating the progressives and republicans of Indiana. The progressives have started a weekly paper at Indianapolis and it holds up Loth republicans and democrats as enemies of good government. Felix Diaz must think the U. ?. is easy, to be pulled into a conspiracy for the restoration of peace in Mexico by starting another revolution. It is a case where similia simidbus wouldn't curantur. As in the cafe of Mexico, the country can afford to wait for Pres. Wilson's explanation of the resignation of John Bassett Moore, counsePor for the state department, which is promised soon. If you are a fat man over forty you are a bad operative rislcpsjccording to Dr. Mayo, the celebrated American surgeon. Moral: Reduce or keep off the operating table.

About the only black eye Packey McFarland ever received was handed him by the Wisconsin fight board, and it was put on to stay.

Commercial reports ami the press, generally take an optimistic view of the business outlook and with the speedy solution of the problems incident to new eurrene.v legislation there are hopeful signs on all sides. Twelve months ago no responsihle hanker in this country would have ventured to predict that the results which have now been accomplished could be achieved within any reasonable time. When President Tatt retired from the white house nothing seemed more remote than the passage of a currency bill. Legislation of this sort had been talked about for years, but at the end of 1012 the supplanting of the national bank system established GO years ago seemed a thing of the remote future. This being the case, there is reason for profound thankfulness, that in the course of events it has been possible to set aside completely a currency system which half a century after its establishment has become a burdensome anachronism. "A reflection of the silly prejudice against the national banks was furnished Kv the early forecast lhat the great financial institutions of the country were opposed to currency feform," sa's the American Pauker. "It is to be hoped that this nonsense has now been completely dispelled by the all but unanimous acceptance of the currency bill. Although the measure became a law only a few months ago. every national bank of importance or influence in the Fnited States luus adopted the currency bill. What reasonable man could ask more! Wherever the organization committee has gone it has met with a cordial reception and all the suggestions which have been put forward have challenged consideration by their reasonableness and practical good sense."

As the long years have come and gone they have separated us from all the joys of childhood, but when the notes of the first returning song birds come quavering trffough the chill air of early spring they touch a keenly responsive chord and from out the dimming past come trooping memories of days now almost sacred, of early friends whose voices are Ft 111. and of incidents which give to childhood its peculiar charm.

Toledo News-Pee. WIIY DON'T TIIFV DISCUSS IIOMF AFFAIRS? There are a few men in this city who pick up their pens occasionally' and write ably and lucidly on the cause of the Greeks or Pulgarians or other far-off peoples but it is seldom that a well-informed citizen gives out illumination on the problems of his own city, tt would be helpful if those who know would write on the important problems of Clary. For instance, what are the wisest meas- ; tires which can be taken to have established here a branch of the superior court? What is Clary doing to 1 protect her interests in the next legislature? What should be the position of our people with regard to the vote which is to be taken on the next constitutional convention? Should not C.ar.v begin to look ahead, to become ultimately an independent political unit? Should not our people concentrate their votes on pertain candidates in order that we may have official power and not be simjdy a manipulated electorate for th bene-, fit of outside politicians? It is general -ilimor that the Hammond people pet' pretty much what they go after be- . cause of the etneiency ot a ni-paru san combine which is operated with ; considerable cleverness. Should not our Clary managers be able to checkmate that and get something for ourselves? These are public matters which seem to be important. Then there are others of an economic and financial nature such a? the value of slag as a road material and what such material is really worth in this market. Also some one ought to be an expert on "broken stone" and knowwhat it is worth. What w e need In Clary is the truth i about important matters and while , the editorial mind undertakes to resolve many problems yet there are many which are out of the boundaries! of his experience, analysis and elucielation.. What we need is a statement of facts and figures and then perhap.we can get at their meaning. There are so many things to think about the present, the future, our schools, streets, fire protection, courts, econo- , nry, etc. that no one person can have a right perspective of them all and if a citizen who happens to live close to some important data were to, throw light on some of these dark problems it would help very much. trouble with Spain must not have an income of $2 50 per year in order to re ceive the benefit of a pension.
