tin: ilmpi;is iis.sti:h. The Kinking of the Ilmjircs.s of Ireland and the drowning oT 1,034 pas. Fencer?, almost rivaling the d-,truc-tlon of the Titanic, ought to give some Canadian tatsman a chance to William Alden Smith himself, and it probably will. If it isn't a Canadian, it ouht to be a Hritisher. It is too good an opportunity to let pass. Sen, William Alden Smith. you will recall, barked by all th authority of the United States congress, investigated the Titanic disaster and made the tartling discovery that the great liner had collided with an iceberg off Newfoundland's shore, and that all who were drowned had died. That wan fine for the Michigan statesman. He rame back home and was reelected on the strength of It, Just as In I'jOl he paved the way for A reelection to the lower house of congress by visiting Cuba before the war and when he heard a Spanish Foldlcr cast a slur at the United States flag, he hit him over the head with an umbrella. Pen. William Alden Smith is some artist In formulating that line of campaign material and if there, are no Canadians or Britishers like him. It can be creditable only to their slowries. The Kmpress of Ireland was rammed and sent to the bottom of the St. Iawrence river, not by an iceberg a force of nature; but by a collier a force of commerce. There are indications that somebody wasn't attending very closely to business. Of course, there was no J. Bruce Ismay aboard the I'm preps', to make his escape, and serve as the "goat." Neither was it the Kmpress maiden trip. There are a number of differences between the Titanic and Kmrresrf disasters aside from the number of victims but the main one is likely to be that when Canada gets through with it, the responsibility, if any, will have been fixed, and the responsible party will have to take the consequences. Such is the marked difference between Canadian or British action and American bluff; between Canadian or British statesmanship, and American politics. Canada and Britain may be slower to act, a trifle less impulsive than we; but when they do act in such matters, they generally do something. v.(;i:s ro it wivks? Advanced women are now demanding that wives be paid regular wages. In many happy homes that is being done in effect, because the purse is common, and after the fixed charges .'.re met the remainder becomes a partnership fund, share and share alike. In spirit, if not in detail, this of roursrt, is what ousht to be; for the wife In her way works Just as faithfully for the family as the husband, is quite as necessary to the family's success and therefore is morally fully as much entitled as is the husband to a Fay In the spending of the income. Usually, too, she is a better economist than he, in which case he is wise if he lets her handle the money, confining himself to a modest allowance, which reminds us that today begins nain, the June matrimonial season. It is, we believe, a mistake for young couples to begin married life without having a clear understanding upon this subject of the family finances. Some wives beg and wheedle for money when they should expect and demand it ns a right. By starting with a. distinctly understood plan, much heartburning is avoided. On the other hand, the idea of calculating the services of a wife in terms of wages seems a bit commercial. It kind of spatters blotches on the romance of line's young dream don't you think so? If wives eer want to be put on a wage basis, why. we suppose it will be fo ordered; for, in spite of men's hoastings. the women, bb-ss "em. hold the whip hand. For our part, though, we prefer the relationship and spirit of partners. In ft partnership, as you know, each member of the firm may draw on tiie common account. Better not marry unless vou tan trust the mate at leat a-s much as you feel that ou can trust yourself. pkotuctim; pick pock i:t. The loss of by Brvin Annis, Saturday night, the work of pickpockets, and along with it the discovery th.it operators of that nefarious trade have been at work here for weeks, while the man in charge at police headquarters continued to deny that any pickpocketing had been going on. notwithstanding our then existing knowledge that the police had been notified of the Annis and other incident?, suggests something. ' K.theT the police and detective force. Addenda. are seeking to protect thems'.iws from public knowlrdge of their inability to detect and irrfst pickpockets, or e!.e they are, though unwittingly perhaps aiding m, abeting the pickpockets by not ivtnrr the public proper warning. The .atur alternative miht abo Result

j from the former, or it miht result

from deliberate purpose, or, what is m re likely, from the seemingly inher ent foolishness of police departments' that by keeping an offense a secret it necessarily makes it easier to land the offender. Our contention is that it is better that one pocket should not be picked than that a dozen should be, with the "dips" to use the vernacular, running at larpe, or even captured. When men of this elan hit town, one of the beat ways in the world to shorten their stay is to let the public know they are here, with some tips on how to avoid them. A hundred pockets are picked for every pickpocket landed, even by the best of police departments. Police say to the reporters "Oh, yes, you print those things, and then they know we are after them, and it is that much harder to get them." Harder nothing! The polic need to get the cobwebs out of their brains. Do they suppose such crooks doubt for a moment that the police are after them all the time; that is, unless there is some understanding, such as police departments in some cities have been guilty of? Pickpockets are not so green as to doubt notice to the police from their victims and an effort to bring them to justice. They are on the alert, but they keep right on plying their trade as long as the unsuspecting public furnishes a fertile field. The board of safety says the pjrpose of an automobile license tag is to apprize victims of the identity of the automobile owner, In case of accident, and give "protection to the public" as its reason for such strict enforcement of the automobile license law. The newspapers are here to protect the public against pickpockets, by conveying the information that they are hanging around, and putting that public on its guard. "An ounce of prevention" is worth just as much as "cure" in the one case, as it is in the other. caiixfchfs pkxsiox sciikmk. Last year Mr. Carnegie's Foundation for the advancement of teaching paid out almost $600,000 in old age pensions to retiring profesors. You see, if a professor Is a man as well as a bookworm, he's apt to have, a wife and children. They come high, considering the average professor's salary; which me.ns that by the time he's ready for the shelf the cupboard is generally bare. , For most of our colleges are like most of our mills and shops. They pay for maturity only; what happens in old age is none of their business. So along comes handy Andy, with his wad of steel trust bonds, and offers to take care of the spent teachers when they're no longer ablo to take care of themselves. A mistaken impression exists about this kindly project. He doesn't say that in exchange for his insuring their old age. the professors mustn't direct the minds of the youths in ways which menace tb; grafts of privilege. There isn't a single condition to his generosity. All that happens is that the professors somehow feel kindlier toward the Carnegie type. How can a man who is so generous have done any wrong? of course, being human, he may have had human faults, but it's easy to overlook the faults of one from whori ymi expect benefits. S"o there you are. And there you ought to be glad for the professor's sake at least so long as you are willing to leave the education of the young to private charity. We say this for the benefit of those estimable people who are always complaining about their taxes and who are largely responsible for the low salaries paid the teaching profession that makes then need pensions. About the possibilities of a new hotel it seems to depend altogether upon South Bend capital. The tenant is willing and ready. Maybe the absence of it. and lack of local accommodations hail something to do with the number of automobile parties choosing Mishawakt as a stopping place as well as our police sur eilance. The Mishawaka garages were filled with automobiles Saturday night. The Mishawaka hotel was jammed to capacity. Some seventy automobile parties dodged South Bend rather than take a chance on our "efficient" police force. On this point, at least, Manr Gaxlor appears to be holding his head. Legislation to prevent tragedies at sea may come and legislation to preent tragedies at sea may go. but when the time is at hand and the elements take the notion, such legislation generally dors. Nature is the grsatest law repealer ever known. f course, the most of us do not nerd to care whether there are pickpockets in town or not. They're welcome to our pennies.

STATESMEN REAL AND NEAR

WASIilNiIToN, June 1. When former Representative Curby was made mayor of BoMon a little wh;.l ago, the Bostonese held a sp'.riil election and picked one Janus. Oallivan in Curley's ste-id. Inasmuch as it was a special election, for one oJIu-e only, a great many voters ditl not bother to fro to the polls. But when he reached Washington, Oallivan was surprised, astonished in fact, to find that there bad been several hundred voters, each of whom v.;ts largely responsible for the i tory. There were some l.-'M) letters piled up on his desk, and about half of these were from voters who offered to receive some neat litth. favor for invaluable service rendered the party and the nation, and more particularly Gallivun. It just happened that Oallivan is a person with a deep sense of curiosity about all manner of things, and he got to wondering. He wondered and wondered until ttnalb he arranged to have the poll books that were used in the spec ial election all sent to him. These books showed the name of every man who voted. They did not indicate, of 'ourse. which candidate the man voted for, but they contained the. names of everybody who took the trouble, to appear at the ,olis and cost a ballot for somebody". Oallivan studied theW looks for an hour or so uul then .h 1'gan to run his index linger down the lLts of names and compare then: -v. th the names of the letter-writers v. ho desired favors. And he made a tunny discovery. Out of all the names signed to letters of persons who confessed to being largely responsible for (Sullivan's election, scarcely a one had even been to the polls to vote. On the other hand, of tnoso that had voted, only a scant few had any favor to ask. They wrote letters of congratulation, perhaps, but let it go at that. Oallivan sat staring at a spot on the carpet and pondering over this fur a long time and then sadly he began to sort the letters into two piles. Sam Blythe went on a trip out west a short time ago to size up the political situation, and in his absence he asked his friend Tom Pence to keep him informed hy mail or wire of what was going on in Washington. Tom, who has an excellent sense of humor, didn't send him anything for about a week, and then he wrote :-s follows: "Dear Sam: The only news of great importance that has occurred since you left is that contained in the enclosed clipping from the Washington Post." The important item referred to appeared under a New York date line, about ix cotillion leader, and read as follows: "Preston Gibson of Washington, D. C, who is passing some time with Mrs. Gibson in Atlantic City, came to New York today and gave a dinner tonight at the Kitz-Carlton, returning afterward to the New Jersey resort. "Mr. Gibson took his guests to the Astor theater, having a box at the left side of the stage." Here is a sample of the adroit and cagey manner in which Uncle Jerry Donovan of Connecticut proceeds to an objective point. Representative Donovan appointed a lostnnusier in his home town a little while ago and the selection was not satisfactory to a lot of persons who were friends of other candidates. They asserted that the appointee was not a thorough enough democrat that he once scratched a ticket or committed some other unpardonable offense. So they did the same thing that the colored people do when anything does not suit that is, they held an indignation meeting. This meeting was announced a day or two in advance, and when Uncle Jerry Donovan heard about it he decided to slip up and attend the little gathering. It was tho sense of the meeting that a great wrong had been perpetrated, and that a committee should be appointed to appear before the postortice committee of the senate and make a protest. "But who's going to arrange for the hearing before the senate committee?" inquired one man. "None of us is acquainted in Washington." "Til fix it forkvou!" suddenly spoke up a compact little man who had just entered the hall. "Just leave it all to me. It was Congressman Donovan, against whose appointee they were in the midst of indignating. "You have a perfect right to be heard before the committee," went on Donovan, "and I. being your representative at Washington, am the one to arrantre it. Send down a big delegation, and when thes get through with the committee hearing I'd like to show them about the town. Washington's never so beautiful as in May and June." The day for the hearing came, but, lo! not a member of the delegation from Connecticut showed up. Donovan's offer of so much hospitality had shooed them off. The man who wears the largest hat in congress is Representative Rairiey of Illinois, member of the ways and means committee. It is not the largest hat as to the numerical size, for It is only a 7 5-S, whereas Sereno Payne, also of the well-known ways and means committee, wears a 7 0-4. But no other hat in public life compares with Balney'js in total area. It is muh larger hs to brim than the hats worn b.v patent medicine salesmen in front of courthouses. Rainey got the ponderous hat as a present, and therefore wears it. even at the ris!v of becoming round-shouldered. (Copyngh. li'll. by Fred C. Kelly. All rights reserved.) THOSi: sMAI.b l'LATS.

It 1? interesting to read in the Sprlngtield (Mass.) Republican a re port of progressivism in that state which shows that the new party is active and full of hope and enthusiasm. The Republican, In spite of its name, however, is not an orsan of the old party, but is honestly Independent; otherwise it would not be telling the truth about the progressives, but misrepresenting and distorting facts according to the policy now in force by the standpat press. Prosrcssivism has been strong from the beginning in Massachusetts. In 1912 Charles Sumner Bird, candidate for governor on the new ticket, almost evenly divided the republican vote. In 101o. Massachusetts electing its governor each year, he ran again and received more votes than in the previous year, reaching a majority of 11,000 over the republican vote. According to tho Springfield paper, a called meeting of proKTessive district workers held in that city, at which Bird was present, was highly enthusiastic. It v.as a significant fact, the local report reads, that almost every speakr who responded In the informal discussion that followed the principal speakers of the evening, commented on the growinc strength of the new party in the towns and cities of the district, and lists of names were filed with the state chairman of men who had recently become affiliated with the county organization. Mr. Bird, who was one of tho speakers, referred sarcastically to tho keen joy with which the standpatter speaks of the "passim;" of the progressive party, and quoted a Worcester paper's reference to it as "a party of the down and outs" this in face of the fact that the progressive vote in Worcester l !vt NTuvtMiiber was D.S0S. acrainst a4 republican vote of $3,55r. Aeeoiriinc to all reports, progressive condition? in Massachusetts are very promising.- Zeal and enthusiasm are abundant, and the organization is being strengthened In every quarter. It is expected that Mr. Bird will aain lead the state tickot and that the result will this time convince even the standpatters that they must take third ulace permanently. Xrr Haute Star.

Watching and Waiting. The reporters who were looking for local color in Mexico and were captured by guerillas, certainly accomplished what they desired. Things must have looked pretty black for them, they must have felt blue, and we certainly say that they were rather green. Billy Sunday's "Golden Voiced! Choirmaster" is being sued for 550,000 for breach of promise. The jilted girl is certainly going after the gold, if not the voice. Headline "Ingersoll's Niece Marries His Chauffeur."

"Mr. Wu" is the strange title of the play in which Walker Whiteside will make his reappearance in America next autumn upon his return from London, where he has been playing for several months in "The Melting Pot." Tbi character of the play is an educated Chinaman, a graduate of Oxford. We are relieved to know that he is not the "Drug Terror" we've heard so much of lately. Wait Mason has sent out a tracer for the old fashioned gentleman who used to stop children on the street and ask them if they attended Sabbath school regularly. He might well include in his investigations the whereabouts of the "Go to Church Sunday" movement, which seems to have come to an untimely death. P. D. Where William Felt the Pain. Now little Willie stayed from school. To fish in the tiny brook. His mother knew not of his prank. So he wrote the excuse he took.

The trials and struggles of Prof. Iangley, his disappointments, and the public ridicule to which he was subjected through the failure of hl3 device through the failure of his device for navigating the air, constitute a dramatic pa.ne in the history of modern mechanical progress. Langiey did not achieve success, but there is little doubt that his patient trials are largely responsible for tho perfected airship of today, which he did not livo to see. When Langley tried to steer hl3 machine through the air it fell to the earth. Today thousands of aviators are making flights in all parts of tho world. They are flying upside down. They are rising from the water as well as from the ground. A few days asro Beachey described the Initials of his name in the atmosphere with a biplane. Flying machines are playing an important part in military preparations of all the civilized nations. Great Britain has 6 2 seaplanes and 41 ordinary aeroplanes, equipped for fcout service with 180 ofllcers and 1,500 men detailed to handle them. A British army officer recently announced that he had discovered a stabilizer that will enable an aeroplane to maintain a steady flight In the face of a gusty wind, and an American inventor also claims to have discovered a stabilizer, but It 1b yet to be seen whether or not these devices are w!:at they are expectel to he. In view of the inspiration given by Prof. Iangley. it seems like an example of posthumous justice for th-? Smithsonian institution to carry out its reported intention of restoring th3 original Langley flying machine for the purpose of sriving it a more thorough test than its inventor was enabled to do.
