Remember the Lusitania!
There srai a time in American history
when the spectacle ?if some ?-cores of
women and children, American women
and children nmonf? them, scattered over
the sens by a brutal and murderous attack
by a warship, their helpless hands out?
stretched, appealing not to nationality
but to humanity, would have moved the
Government r.r?.d the people of the United
StaU-s to a err?til and indignation which
would have stirred the whole nation. In
those better and braver days no American
could have bean brought to b?liers that In
later years, in the presence of such a
massacre, an American Administration
would wait supine and complaisant, trust?
ing that sume technical pretext might ab?
solve it from the duty o? protecting
American lives or putting a final end to
crimes that would make a red Indian
blush.
A hundreii years BfO, when this country
was weak and lacking in all that wealth,
numbers, national greatness could pmvide
to strengthen its hand, it did not hesitate
to venture on a doubtful war to perform
the first duty of any State. How would it
have seemed to the men of that day if they
had been told that a time would come in
the history of their country when Ameri?
can women and children would be mur?
dered upon the high seas by a friendly
nation?God save the mark ! ?that the mas?
sacre would follow a direct and explicit
warning by the I ates, and four
months after the crime there would
be no disaviTWal, no apology, not even s>
much as a promise to pay the poor indem?
nity which is the sole reparation possible.
The men, women and children of the
Lusitania were massacred because the
German Government believed that the
Wilson Administration did not intend to
make good its brave words with coura?
geous action. Out of pity for prospective
victims the German Embassy in this coun?
try warned these who were planning I g
down to the sea upon the Lusitania *
they would be murdered. They ?<???
dered, and the beat that the;r ten eountry
could do* for them was to write a ? tl
three notes, magnificent in the lofty hu?
manity therein ex

that there hn? been a rush of propOlt)
owners to comply with orders for ImproTi

Bureau. There is hope in that, even if it

the horse is stolen.
There is just one real reason why the
work of the Fire Prevention Bureau and
the State Industrial Commission falls
short?the greed of property owners who
place their money above the lives of their
employes or tenants. If the horrors of
that funeral pyre for twelve men and
women have shamed owners out of their
miserable money worship, the deaths will
have been of some service to the living.
They remain, nevertheless, a frightful in?
dictment of the human nature which rates
money so high and human life so low.
His Knitting.
To the insistent anti-feminist COOS*
plaint that woman is invading man's in?
dustrial sphere there is a very adequate
retort, but one which for some reason is
not frequently employed, to wit, that
man has been and is invading woman's
sphere. The world is well stocked with
male cooks, for example, and with male
dishwashers. And what a lot of men
there are who sew and who nurse inva?
lids. One hesitates to speak of waiters,
too, in this category, but at the least
their occupation lies on the Ixirder line.
Their numbers would surely swell this
male invasion to proportions not incom?
parable with thone of the feminine offen
s've. especially if taken the world over.

of Minneapolis and instructor at the

dings knits mittens for newsboys in his
off moments, and has become so proficient
with the needles that he can complete
twenty-four pairs of mittens a month.
The amiable vice even grows upon him,
he finds, so that he would gladly knit in
the ?streetcars and while waiting for
food m restaurants but for the proa*
pectivc ridicule. In other wor?!-, Mr.
Giddings, in blazing a new trail, some?
what timidly, perhaps, directly to the
