This idea in which we make a personal example of ourselves in order to find out what is the matter, is susceptible of a much more extended process of evolution. For instance, why should not parents incarcerate themselves in schcols, book-reviewers become publishers’ of- fice boys, congressmen enter the serv- ice of the Custom House, society women stand on their feet ten hours a day in department stores and maj nates pass their vacations in slums?

The real value of Weed Chains has been proven so often and so satisfactorily during the last ten years that there is no room for argument. A Good Reason, No Doubt not traitorous and unpatriotic critics gloat over the fact that the homicide rate in ew York City is six times that of London. Just why this shou!d be the case is not apparent on the surface of things at present, but we can depend upon it vy York, if not the most, is one of the most intelligent, enlightened and exccllently-governed cities of a great nation and world power. If New York sces fit to average six murders to London’s one, New York undoubt- edly has a good and sufficient reason, It is no mere accident and New York will ex- plain whenever New York deems an explanation fitting. Until then, we see no excuse for any discussion of the matter whatsoever.
