THEATINC j ORPHANS AS PEOPLE. Think of an orphanage where no tlirce little jirls are dressed alike atii where there is no gliring sien labelling the place an " institution." Those were two of the provisions in the will of a Philadelphia millionaire who. believed that orphan Kirls probably hae individualities of their own as well as pirls who hae fathers and mothers. A row of blue itirghaiii aprons topped by pigtails tied with ribons exactly alike was r.lways distressing to this milli'maire. ffr he believed that such

inescapable identity in outward things would tend to:

clothe little minds and souls with the same deadening uniformity. A place that really spells "home"' for the youngsters Instead of "asylum" is the idea. Its three aims are to uive health, happiness and capacity for useefulness to every one of it 17". cirls. (Irounds and buildings are being laid out with the.-e aims and ideals in view. Viower garden", tennis courts, lovely winding paths and playgrounds are bein planned as carefully as the iwellings. the jjyinr.asi urn. auditorium and .schoolroom. It'n a big idea arui one for which most people will join in wishing success. I'.ut there is a ureal deal needed that money alone cannot procure. There is sympathy and understanding of the little pirl-souls who are to be trained there for a useful and happy womanhood. It will take infinite patience and tact and love to satisfy the loncir.Rs and cultivate the natural ability of children who are dressed differently, just as surely as it ever does under the uniform dress and pigtail system. Environment and outward conditions have a xreat deal to do with the development of people, lint they must be barked and interpreted by a spirit of love and service if they are. to count for their fullest usefulness.

It is possible that the

hiich point of conscious political misrepresentation in this campaign was reached by Mr. Roosevelt in his article in the Metropolitan Magazine this month, when he said: "As the administration has debated t he sinking of the Lusitania for over a year without achieving any result or coming to any conclusion It is a saddening exhibition of the facility with which an ex-president disregard the responsibilities of his utterances in order to promote personal animosities and political ambitions, saddening because the facts are so plainly written where every man may read. The facts are. as the hearts of American mothers recorded joyously, that on May T.o last the Onnan government announced its acceptance of the demand of the government of the I'nited States that its unlawful submarine operations be discontinued and that in the intervening months there has been no instance of the torpedoing of a merchant vessel bearing American passengers. I'oth "result" and "conclusion" are represented in that statement. Jermany. at the express demand of the I'nited States, has agreed upon a permanent abatement of her submarine outrages. The imperial government has lived up to its promise. The days that pass without extra editions of the newspapers telling of merchant ships being i t to the bottom with their human cargo are unmarred by a threat of war being necessary in order to maintain the right of Americans to unmolested tiave! on the high seas. They are davs of peace with a continuing certainty that peace is not to ie disturbed by a reopening of the submarine controversy. 'ol. Roosevelt has harped so long upon his disapproval of the president's failure to go to war when the Lusitania was sunk, that lie is now incapable of measuring his utterances on the president's policy evolved to meet the Lusitania crisis. Can he not realize that at the end this policy of the president's succeeded, that finally in the May note from Germany the president's wish to preserve the peace and honor of the nation without impairing 4-ither was Rixen assurance of success? Americans are free to come und go upon the high seas, safeguarded by the protection which their government has thrown around them. Each day of peace in which they retain this freedom is a vital and living answer to the assertion that the policy hy which it was established has had no result nor conclusion.

LESS "CATCHING'' THAN SCARLET FEVER. Almost as thou.ch it were directly and particularly interested in South Rend the 1'nited States public health serice. having more fully investigated the subject of poliomyelitis- infantile paralysis. than it had a couple of weeks auo. has settled down to a solid basis 'f operation again. Hay fever, scarlet fever, or most ny other fever, it asserts, are more keenly to be guarded against than poliomyelitis, and the slashing of weeds, improved housing, and better sanitation, are enouraged among its preventatives. Two per cent of the population of the I'nited States nre suffering from hay fever, according to health service reports, and the cutting of all vegetable growths known to spread and intensify the disease, is urged upon all public authorities. "Cities especially should be active in this particular, and set a public example by keeping the weeds off their own property." says the report, which strikes South Rend, just now, in a very tender spot. Health Officer Rosenbury, in escaping reor.sihility for the weed pest, by denving the authority eded in him, overlooks the fact that the city owns several bits of public property and some roadsides where weeds are growing, with regard to which he might set the puMic an example at least. Iet him get a list of the city properties and make a tour of investigation; in other words, if you please, "have a survey" net by some Washington orVni.il. say next ea r, or the next, but now. Possibly he would not be aide to letert a weed were he to see one himself, but h might try.

DEVELOPING BRIGHT CHILDREN. A vast amount of attention has been directed in late years to the detection and education of defective children in our public schools. i;ut little effort has been given to providing 1 1 1 c best possible advantages for the exceptionally taleruec child. This oversight is now to he corrected. It is recognized by enlightened educators that, important as it is to develop subnormal children and give them all the instruction they are capable of receiving, it is far more import.' it for the progress of society that the talented children should he helped to their fullest possible development. Por one genius may be worth more to the nation and to the world, reckoned in permanent human values, tnan thousands of persons of limited mentality, or even thousands of normally intelligent men and won en. The general education board has accordingly set rbout investigating the problem of the talented child in a broad, constructive way. The inquiry is under the direction of Prof. Gey M. Whipple of the University cf Illinois. He will try to tind out "how early in their school life gifted children can be spotted, and how much school time and energy they can economize, as well as how much additional training and mental equipment they can obtain during their school years." It will he of great ;alpe if Prof. Whipple can work out some dependable system for detecting these gifted children. It will be still bevter if praefval plans can be evolved for developing them when once they are found, without all the waste incident to the usual system of herding children of all capacities through school en masse. The exceptional child should, of course, re-

Rut with recard t scarlet fever. According to aiceive exceptional, individual treatment, to develop his

health service bulletin, written by Pr Wade H. Prost. the danger of infection or contagion from scarlet fever, is much greater than from infantile paralysis, and during the recent epidemic in New York when some 4 0 0 children died cf poliomyelitis scarlet fever claimed more than twice as many, and is the more to be feared. rn account of th larger prevalence, of the two. It is the common belief that anv veil child is likely to catch poliomyelitis from any ihild who has it. or even from any person who has been in contact with an in

peculiar capabilities to the lullest degree, just as a horseman develops an exceptional horse or the botanist develops an exceptional plant.

"self-is the reason fur Hughes?

Wonderful Melting Pot In Possession of Charles Hughes Ry Saut)ani. Thai must be a wondertul melting pot Mr. Charles E. Hughes has in his Dossession and that is to te

brought into use for the current po- J

litical campaign. It is ann..jnced that Col. Th'odore Roosevelt and the Hon. William H. Taft are to speak Irom the same stump in belie If. of the frame ticket and for the promotion of the same principles." Then it is" claimed that the (ler-man-American alliance and such tierce and malignant anti-tierinans as Henry Caoot Lodge. Augustus P. Gardner. James M. Reck. (Jeorge Haven Putnam and others of that ilk, are all and singular tu "vote mit Hughes." It is said that Mrs. Carrie Chapnun Catt, president of the Woman Suffrage association, together wita several leading sisters of the cause, had an interview with Mr. Hughes a few days ago, and Mrs. Catt announced as she came away that the assurances the nominee had given were "more than satisfactory." A few minutes later Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge, president of the National Alliance Opposed to Woman Suffrage, with five sister "antis." got audience with Mr. Hughes and as she came away she proclaimed him as "the man of the hour" and spoke of their interview as "eminently satisfactory." Then we are told that Mr. W. Murray Crane is to have the lingers of his hand inte the republican campaign up to the elbow of his arm, and it is known of all men that Mr. Crane disputes with Mr. Penrose of Pennsylvania and Mr. Earnes of New York for the distinction of first chief among the reactionaries. With Mr. Crane is yoked Gov. Hiram Johnson of California, who is the spoiled darling of the progressives of the Pacific slope, and so when the campaign gets hot we may expect a medley ot "The Gang's All Here" and "( nward, Christian Soldiers." If this thing works the melting pot of Charles E. Hughes will heat the magic lamp of Aladdin all hollc w. The late lamented hull moose party made the fatal mistake at the outset of admitting to its citadel a Greek hoss. Not only that, but it put the gift-bearing Greek in high command, made him chief of staff, in fact. He was graduated from I'ierpont Morgan's bank and upon him invisible government had showered gifts that might have satisfied the avarice of Midas. The frolic of PJl2 was enough for Mr. Perkins. Hy 1916 he was tired of the road to Canaan and made tracks hack to Egypt. The waters of the Red sea parted and he and his fellow-deserters, including the titular Moses of the expedition, safely passed over dry-shod and delivered themselves into the captivity of Pharaoh. Happily for human nature, political human nature, there were many who resolutely refused to turn back for the llesh-pots. They meant what they sid in 1912, believed as they voted. They had not seen any evidence that the J. O. P. had made a Journey to Damascus and discovered a great light and heard a voice rebuking it of its crimson and numerous sins and directing it what to do to be saved. In their eyes it was the same party dominated by "crooks" that "robbed" the colonel

ia 1912. Penrose, Smoot and Crane were yet high priests and in their train were the same gang of scribes and pharisces that had played such fantastic tricks in the national convention of 1912 when the colonel was cozened of his rights. V Who are the prodigals of this occasion? Is Penrose a prodigal? Then v.v.at is Murdock? If William Allen v hite's sins are to be washed white is Uncle Joe Cannon to be the laundress to go to the wash tub

at his advanced age? Is Jim Hemenway to open the doors of the church to receive the penitent "Grand Young Man?" Or is the boot on the other leg? Is Col. Roosevelt to do the forgiving and Taft to accept j-ardon? The same day that Candidate Hughes received Mrs. Catt and Mrs. Dodge at the head of their distinct delegations, George R. Conelyou and George W. Perkins had audience and speech with him. I am sorry I was not there. Had I been present and seen the faces of these two, I'm sure I'd now know' the expression of the Roman augurs when they met one another in the forum. No doubt Mr. Perkins desired the

nomination of Col. Roosevelt by the

republican convention at Chicago. Rut there was something he desired way above that. He wished the death of the bull moose party above all things, for his chief desire is the success of the republican party that has purveyed so abundantly of invisible government for the elect of Wall st. Rut Mr. Perkins is a bungler, lost his nerve and parted with

his discretion. He had all the good

cards in the deck and he allowed himself to be bluffed. Perhaps in Ms excitement he exposed his hand to Crane and Smoot. those experts. Re that as it may. those gentry discovered that the colonel would rot accept the bull moose nomination unless he could also secure the regular republican nc Tiination. Then the cat was out the wallet. Then Roosevelt was done for. Then the bull moose party died. Had the bull moose convention nominated Roosevelt and Johnson at its first sitting zr.d had both accepted. Roosevelt and Johnson, and not Hughes ami Fairbanks, would be the opponents of Wilson today. It was a game of bluff and the Mormon church with a bobtail flush drove away from the table the Harvester trust with a fuil house.

tiii: wiiiows choice. GSt. Paul Pioneer Press.) In giving up a fortune of $.000,000 and a Fifth av. palate to marry another rich husband, Mrs. Madeline Force- stor is not taking a step which appeals to the imagination as picturesque or heroic. She is jumping from one soft nest of affluence into another, plus a husband. And minus something else namelj. her independence. While Mrs. Astor was a widow she was at least master of her own properties, of her own personal prerogative. She expects, without doubt, to get along without feeling the need of that independence and individuality which she surrendered. The difference is trat what she has of this world's Mods since remarriage is in the hands of another person. In her

economic dependence she must "be good" as other women "are good" when there is something they want which depends on the decision the pleasure, if you please of the male. In other words, she has chosen to exchange the position of the feminist for the position of the average wife. Not a great sacrifice, well treated women and nearly all men will swy. No, not as it appeals to the eye, to the conventional view of society. Rut. philsosphically considered, it is a step from the new era of woman to the old. Mrs. Astor, probably Mrs. Dick by this time, evidently prefers family life and its risks to the barren certainty of widowed affluence. Which is evidence that she is human, and that her personality was not all expressed when, at 19, she married millions at 46.
