CIVILIZATION LACKS.
(Seattle P.-L>
There Is something awry with twen
tieth century civilization. Perhaps \
m«n of another generation shall look
back to these times with the same
feeling of compassion that we regard
the peoples of the dark ages. W* have
made a deal of progress, to be sure,
but who shall say that a greater prog- j
ress In the arts of civilization shall
not be made by the generations to
follow us?
We have evolved a wonderful and
intricate system, whereby Justlco Is1
dispensed to all men. There Is 1
standard and a gauge and fixed rules
for balancing the scales, and the hum
blest of us has the means to Justice
as well as the proudest. And It Is so
with all nations with such varytnr I
broadness as may be permitted by
s their lights.
When the light of reason and Intel
ligence flickered but dimly In human
minds men settled their quarrels by
measure of might and the strongest
brute prevailed. Then came a more;
wholesome conception of right and
wrong and the knowledge that mlglc
does not make right. Out of the ex- j
perlence of the ages a structure of
statute and common law developed,
through which men might take their
disputes before arbiters and have them
justly settled.
It Is possible for Just men to dis
agree. Truth has a variety of faces
but the law determines with whom
the right lies and men accept Its de
cree. Life and property are secure and
brute force no longer rules. Each civ
ilized nation governs Its internal affairs
along these lines.
It Is only when nations have differ
ences with each other that they relapse
Into barbarism, and the final arbiter Is
not equity, but brute force.
What the world needs Ip an exten
sion of the system of national adjudi
cation to International affairs. It needs I
a high court of the nations whose de
creep shall be accepted according to
the measure of International law'. It
needs the same administration of Jus
tice In International affairs that ob
tains In national affars. It needs the
law of personal conduct applied to na
tional conduct, and the strength of all
nations behind It to make It effective.
FLORIDA HAS GONE CRAZY.
(Miami. Fla.. Metropolis.)
Florida Is a wonderful state. Its
climate, you know, is so marvelous:
its soil, you know, is so fertile: Its po
tentialities for wealth, you know. Is
so unbounded—note It well; ‘climate,’"
“soil,’’ “wealth. Over and over again
the good boosters of Florida lay stress
on these features of Florida’s great
ness. Redlatlng from them come op
portunities for true and faithful boost
ing about the Ideal places for winter
homes and winter visitors, the wonder
ful crops and the groves and the de
veloping farms, about the good roads
already built and needed, and then
countless other things that make up
Florida’s great wealth, but—
Florida stands only a few steps from
the bottom In literacy. Florida has no
compulsory school attendance law,
Florida has no place for the care of
her crippled children. Florida has
been maintaining a disgraceful lnstltu
Itlon at Marianna under the guise of
an "Industrial school for boys.” Flor
; Ida has Jails all over her state where
there are no matrons to care for women
j 'risoners Florida has nop lace what
ever to send wayward girls. Florida
gives meager sums to her state boards
of health and grumbles at any legtsla-!
ture appropriation made for tbe devei-i
oprnent of educational work In the
stata.
Florida has judges who sentence 15-'
sear-old hoys to fifteen years' servl
•tide In the state convict camps, where!
they have only the companionship of
legradeJ criminals to prepare them for!
he ‘ manhood" of their adult lives.
Florida has laws on her statute books
is barbarous us those of the middle'
ges regarding the rights of women
nd of motherhood.
Florida. In fact, has gone, oommer
lally crazy—land selling craxy. money*
nuking crazy, and somehow the boost
ts of the state have grown Into the
“hit or working exclusively In the
nterests of the "climate,” the “soil"
ind the state's potential wealth.”

A DOUBTFUL GAME.
(Boston Record.)
Warner van Norden made several
million dollars. He founded and head
ed a trust company In New York bear
ing his name. He died nearly two
years ago and bis estate—what there
is of It—Is being settled up. It Is’
asserted that he bankrupted himself,
trying to straighten out the Indebted- j
m ss which grew from the speculations

den. which speculations are said to
have reached $10,000,000. All of which
's a chapter in the long story of spec

works out and the little fortune be- I

man starts with a rusty Jacknlfe and
lands on Fifth avenue. More often hr
loses the Jacknlfe. More often the
'ittle fortune Is split and gobbled up
There is not much sympathy wasted or
the man who tries to become quicklyj
rich through speculation. But there ie
a good deal of sympathy for thoae who
are embarrassed by the speculations
of another. The man who plays poker

The rules of the gam.- Hnvo net
'reserved, but fundamentally they were
J Ike the present ones. The bound catch

really pitching, not throwing.
Becnuse of the heavy batting one of
