And these acts received -the plaudits of a whole people. The world stood ready to bestow, with a lavish hand, the necessary funds to administer to the wants of the suffering humanity and relieve the awful conditions 'immediately following the calamity of the stricken Contemplate if you please the prcs ing necessity for which this money was donated so freely and then study the reports now current. It is now charged that a considerable part of the funds contributed to feed the hungry and relieve the distressed never reached the relief committees at all, but was stolen by the men whose duty it was to receive and pay over the same. Is it possible that men in high places have reached that low plane, where they will steal sacred funds, as it were, even when the theft means greater distress for the needy and suffering? Can't, men longer handle money without mis-appropriating? Have they no sense of shame Is therehonor no longer among men of affairs? If the world was aghast at the news of this awful disaster, it will be astounded when it learns that the funds contributed were stolen by the men whose duty it was to disburse them.

A. Frazier" of Berkeley col- lege has Invented a new language which he calls "Trlnltl." It is a combination of Latin, Greek and Anglo-Saxon. In his new language are no words significant to 111 will or other unpleasant emotions. A Chicago educator has, diagnosed truancy as a disease bfqught about by bad environment and lack of -proper nourishment. Given the average boy, a proper proportion of protein and calories every day, he says, and after the eighth month he will be a paragon of piety and trudge off to school as meek as Mary's little lamb.

Chicago teachers have a relief society. The members pay in $2 a year and in case of illness $10 a week for four weeks.

Perhaps the sordid, disgusting and ugly facts leading to these sep-erations are none of the public's business; perhaps public interest and curiosity is only interested from a gossiping and scandal mong-ing standpoint, but we think not. there is still another phase of the question to be considered and which closely concerns the American people These noble reuagades frankly sold their bedrabbled and besmirched titles for American gold, The wonienwcre daughters of two American's, most conspicuous "captains of and-niasters of "frenzied finance''' and recent disclosures have shown the: people where and how. these frenzied financiers got their millions; Uncounted millions were bestowed upeu these degenerate criminals as a part of the marriage' contracts as has been, done in, other; similar case. But to-day the American peopie are advised as to whose money it really was, that paid these bills-it was the peoples' money, filched from them by virtue of special privileges granted these devotes' of "frenzied finance." There is'" something wrong, and we are charitable enough to believe that the education of America's wealthy daughters is sadly neglected along patriotic lines. If that doesn't explain it then the daughters of the wealthy few do not know what American womanhood really stands for.
