The tragic wreck of the Kmpress of Ireland, like the toss of the great Ti tanic, leaves us spalled at man's ut ter Inability to conduct the dangerous enterprises of crossing oceans and continents with safety. Yet travel In creases. People, apparently arc given no pause by the wrecks which occur on land and sea. The world Is none too big for the restless spirits which Inhabit tt. There Is a steady Increase In the ebb and flow of humanity no matter how frightful and how Impres sive are the object lessons of disas ters. Rut there has come also a strong spirit of holding those to account who deal carelessly and lightly with the responsibility of human life and prop erty. We ascribe death to fate. but. nevertheless we brush this faith In the Inevitable aside, when we find that anyone has been guilty of falling to fulfill with precision the one little re sponsibility to which many other re sponsibilities are linked. If folks must travel and If means of transportation are provided to meet this necessity then It becomes neces sary to trace responsibilities; to make those who undertake these great en terprises accountable for their errors of Judgment their failure in caution and the thousand and one pieces of carelessness which may at any time bring about a catastrophe. It is significant that another hide ous wreck follows so swiftly upon the news that no one has been found who Is guilty even in part of the loss of the Titanic. When it becomes pos sible to trace reaponalblllty for these disasters and punish those who permit them to occur, we shall not read of so many of them. Who has blundered* TOOLS AND THEIR WIELDERS W» cannot see the sense, either In condemning Mellon a* a squealer or Clamoring for hla punishment. It la a principle In law that the cul prit who becomes the state's evidence Is given his life as a reward. If this were not the system It would be an exceedingly difficult thing to unearth crimes and prevent their occurrence In the future. Mellen Is peaching, of course. He Is squealing, of course, but why should there be such a strong efTort to arouse a strong personal resentment against this man? The Morgan and Rockefeller Inter ests picked the kind of man they needed for the kind of work they agreed to do. If It had not been Mel len, it would have been Mellen's equivalent In another form. No con aclentlous and acrupulotis man could have served them. It Is natural that Mr. J. t’lerpont Morgan. Jr„ ahould call Mellen a liar, but It would be more to the point for him to offer proof of this allegation Thla cannot be done by blackening Mellen. however, nor by attempting to make him the recipient of all the muck that Is being raked out of the New Haven scandal. Men like Morgan and Rockefeller mow their tools. "Dike master, like lervant” The day of the acapegoat, let u» lope, Is passing.

On the subject of nerves in the marriage relation bo comments as follows: “I was extremely Ignorant of women and their ways, and more ignorant of nerves. Indeed nerves were an Item In the marriage relation that I never had considered, and It was years be fore the relation of nerves to marital happiness became known to me. "It takes the average man a long time after marriage to realize that his wife Is a human being, much like himself, with the addtton of some nerves, some superstitions, some pre judices, and some finer emotions of which he knows little or nothing. Not many men have reached the state of marriage In as complete ignorance of women as I did. 1 had been rather bashful and shy with them as a boy and too busy to pay much attention to them ns a man. Living in cities in which l was a stranger I had no op portunity to meet the nice oneN and no inclination to associate with the other kind, Being strong, healthy ami normal, I knew nothing of nerves and had scant patience with their various manifestations, ordinarily attributing phenomena due to nerves to other causes." What a Husband Doe.i When His Wife Is Away In the June American Magazine a husband, who has been marrtred twenty-five years. Mis the story of his experiences. He comments, as follows, on the first parting that he and his wife endured.: "A madrled man Is a strange crea ture. 1 dreaded seeing my wife go. It was hard to part, yet I breathed a huge sigh of relief when the train started, and before It was a mile out of the city I was holding a reunion with two old chums In a bar-room and feeling Hs If Just out of Jail. For three davs and nights I held reunions, conventions and assemblies, most of the time In barrooms: played poker; stayed up almost all night an I had a gglorlous time' Then T commenced to wander around town like a stray cat, and to go to our lonely apartment and have the blues, Imagining that my wife was going to die. that she did not love me Then J would read and amnke until late hours. "On the tenth day I begged the manager for two days off and rushed away to see my wife. She was In bed. recovering form the shock of a minor operation.

Thrift in a pansy bed brings fourten hundred dollars a year to a girl who practiced It. She found a veritable pot of gold among the great vel vety purple and yellow blossoms. This girl sent to France for the seeds which she planted In August and the folowlng spring she had two hundred plants. The next year two thousand plants were carefully cultivated, given the right guallty of loam, and seeds were picked and transplanting done at proper times. About the middle of November the plants are cov ered with leaves and straw or hotbed sash, and in March they are awak ened and her work begins. The plants and blossoms are ready for market from about April 20th to May 30th. "Many a morning in the busy season finds me working at four o’clock,” she said, "and not until dusk do I stop. Two acres are used for these pansies, and last year my profit was four teen hundred dollars. This represents labor and time for eight months in the year." The American Society for Thrift, through the teaching of the rudi ments and practical application of thrift among school children, is aim ing to put saving on a vital basis. In the schools where banking systems have been instituted, based on self-denial and hoarding, they have rather languished. It has also been demonstrated that the child of poor parents is at a disadvantage beside the child of the well-to-do parents or the pet of indulgent friends and rt'latlves. "Those who are born with silver spoons in their mouths don’t know how to use them.” A system of banking in use in the Brooklyn public schools has proved more successful than any other which has been reported to the Society for Thrift. Here the pupils themselves do the banking business, the girls and boys acting as clerks under the direction of teachers who are known as treasurers. The matter of expense is met In a business-like maner, the costs of stationery and printing being met by the proceeds from a school paper and an athletic meet, which is an established yearly event dear to the hearts of the youngsters. The St, Cloud. Minn., public schools have worked out a remarkable schedule which combines thrift in the home and school in a way which bears directly upon a pupil’s standing in his classes and earning his diploma, as well as starting his bank account. In St. Cloud, while the clear, concise backbone of academic work is retained, a premium is put on manual labor and physical activities con tinued for a specillc length of time and under prescribed conditions, vari ous credits being given according to the work done. A parent or guar dian certlflces to the work done and often an exhibit or an essay describing a process is required. A few examples will show the useftilnes and the scope of the elective outside work, for which credits are awarded; taking care of the furnace for one winter; doing family mending for three months; making a canoe or boat; cleaning vacant lot '.regular music prac tice, voice or instrument; delivering milk and carrying water; making hat or cap: making beds daily for three months; working in home or school garden; preparing father's lunch for stated period; three months’ employ ment as nurse; steady work on farm followed by satisfactory essay on some agricultural subject; swimming three hundred feet at one continuous performance; installing three or more electrical conveniences in your mother’s home; getting up in the morning without being called for specified time, and others. hands and kissed her, and ate my meals off her tray, refusing to leave her even to eat with the other mem bers of the family. It seemed as If I could not bear to be out of the room, and she wanted me always In her sight." LOOKING FOR MOTHER'S SPEC TACLES IN FATHER'S WHISKERS In the June American Magazine James Montgomery Flagg, the well known arilst and humorist, writes an amusing piece entitled "W'hlskorcul ture.” Fallowing Is an extract: "It's a heartrending sight in any case, this facial landscape gardening, from the time that they innocently say at breakfast, 'You forgot to shave this morning, dear!’ (It has taken three days for even the rough sketch you show them!) to the dreadful har vest of your noxious inspiration. “Picture the nervous strain on the wife and babies as they witness the gradual budding, blossoming, and fru;» tion of the horror, llow they sadly watch the head of the house slowly disappearing in a cloud of brambles.

Terry Dill Is the slxteeu-yearold South Carolina boy who raised a 308-pound pig at a cost of 3.3 cents a pound. Following is an extract form the article: "The contest was very close. Ter ry's was not the heaviest pig, and his average again in weight was 14.55 pounds a week, Tor the full term, against 17.85 pounds for the boy rais ing the heaviest. On this point Terry scored 44 points. But the heaviest rig cost 5.5 cents a pound, while Ter ry's wtth a cost of 3.8, won the per fect score of 30 points. Another boy was too kind altogether and spent 9.2 cents a pound. Terry scored the per fect 10 points for the ‘genearl con dition' of his pig, so it would be un fair to omit the fact hat, so far as he was concerned, the ptg was perfect in everything. The neatness and com pleteness of Terry's reports were only on point short of the perfect ten. He won with score of 93 points. The pa pers throughout the South proclaimed the thought of the Greenville pig club as an inspiration and Terry Dill’s vie. tory as the solution of the ‘problem of home-grown hog and hominy.* ” WHY A GEORGIA TOWN VOTED FOR SALOONB A Georgia tow n ha# voted In favor i of saloons and here Is the reason given by a cttlxen: "If we are going to stand tor our women folks wearing shadow skirts and slit skirts, and transparent skirts, and our youngegr women learning to dance the boll wee vil, the Texas Tommy tango, the bun- ' ny hug, the bear dance, the half cen ter. the buxxard flop, and the puppy ' huddle and so on down the line, then we men folk might Just as well have our saloons and the whole push go to boll together."
