James W. Osborne, famous law
yer and hard fighter, was found
dead In bed, only sixty-one years
old. A few hours before he had
played a hard game of tennis "with
his son.
They are raising funds to build
an appropriate monument to Theo
dore Roosevelt, another energetic
famous fighter. A little while be
fore he died he put himself In the
hands of a professional athlete
and, dressed in heavy sweaters,
ran along the roads in hot weather.
He took off a great deal of weight
in -a short time. Then two opera
tions were performed. Then he
died.
The late Joseph Chamberlain
was mistaken when he said that
after fifty a man needs no exercise
except walking up and down stairs
pace a day. But after fifty the man
who plays tennis violently, or tries
to Imitate the training methods of
young prize fighters, is deliberate
ly shortening his life.
Every heart at forty is weak,
aad a weak heart needs no push
is g. This ought to be generally
known, because, as a rule, men do
their foolish work before fifty and
their useful work after fifty. Many
of ftcm die when their useful
rork is just beginning.
Boeks by Germans telling why
and how they were beaten are
net partiadarly interesting. No
body cares to know in detail what
happened to Jess Willard or Wil-
an noaeasoaern. But General
iudendorff finds one good adjec
tive when he speaks of "Iron
Lloyd George." That is & good
description of the Welshman,
brachycephalic Celt, that kept the
British Empire alive. Luden
dorff says it was the voice of Iron
Lloyd George that discouraged
Germany.
The English have not empha
sised the fact that in one man
they ieead their salvation. His
tory, however, will emphasize it
First Lloyd George financed Eng
land as Chancellor, then supplied

HE DECLARE
STATE CAPITOL, ST. PAUL,
Minn., Sept 9. Ratification of the
peace treaty is essential to a "set
tling down" of world conditions
which will tend to bring down the
cost of living, President Wilson to
day told a special session of, the
Jk$nneseta legislature.
The cost of living is primarily a
world condition, due to the losses of
man power in the war and the de
moralization of industry, he said.
Factories must again be devoted to
peace purposes and labor redistrib
uted. This process cannot begin, he
agrued, untiT real peace is assured
by ratification commerce resumed,
and. the world begins to settle down.

its relations with the employer, he as
serted. This condition Is world-wide.
he declared, aad mentioned the labor
section of the peace treaty as a means
of endiDsr this State of dissatisfaction.
The labor causes, he said, aimed to
establish somethtar apnroachlntr
American labor conditions everywhere,
in so isx as possible. There must be
a constructive program with regard
to labor to relieve the .strain all over
the world, he declared. The interests
of both capital and labor are con
cerned m this, the President said.
Labor, he said, no longer can be -regarded
as a commodity. When the
labor problem is solved, production
will go forward "by leaps and bounds,"
ne predicted, arm that will be one of
the means of bringing down the cost
of living.
Listen Is Silemee.
The legislators -listened for the
most part in silence, leaning forward
In their seats to hear the better.
Wilson argued America should help
the world get on its feet again, so
trade might be established for the fi
nancial betterment of America.
Senators who oppose the league of
nations are afflicted with "Just down
right ignorance," he said. There was
handclapplng, a few cheers, and Mrs.
Wilson, sitting In the gallery, smiled.
America must play a part in world
affairs, he said, and it must play this
part "-either inside, or on the curb."

the public school survives. Some
are horrified at the thought of
taking money and more taxes to
feed as well as educate those beg
gars. But the feeding will be
done eventually. The nation
forty years from now depends on
the feeding of the children now;
common sense will feed the chil
dren eventually.
It is done in Paris, done so well
that the poor child fed for
nothing eats the same food, pre
sents the same ticket as that pre
sented by the prosperous child
whose father pays for its food.
The black stain of charity is
taken off, the children cannot
know which pay And which are

IRON DIVISION TO
QUIT RUSSIA .
BERLDf, Sept & Gustave
Kossc, German minister of de
fense, aBBOBBced today that it
would be impossible to send any
German troops into the Russian
Baltic previBees to eompel the
Iron DIrisieB of the German
army to obey the government's
orders to come home.
. . .-'Sack aetiea would caase only
bloodshed and confusion," said
Minister Jfoske.
The German cabinet has decid
ed aot to sead any more pay or
food to the Iron Division, because
of the embarrassment Its diso
bedience has caused the govern
meat. According to the peace
conditions, Germany was to with
draw all her troops from the
Russian Baltic states.
(From m Staff Correspondent,)
NEW YORK, Sept 9. New York
city, which does things bis and adver
tises itself thereby, has set the Na
tional Capital an example in the way
of noisy and enthusiastic welcomes.
General Pershing's arrival on Man-
natian isiana yesterday was some
thing that even New York will re
member for years to come, and is a
mark for the city of Washington to
strive for when the First Division,
headed by Pershing himself, marches
up the Avenue.
New York emptied its business
houses on to the sidewalk of Broad
way. There was scarcely an office in
which any business was being carried
on. Every noise-making device
known to man was in full play from
the fiendish sirens of the harbor craft,
to the wild howling of the staid New
York business man. As General
Pershing's car rolled up Broadway,
the air was literally crowded with
ticker tape, confetti, broker's mem
orandum pads, and toy balloons.
Opportunity For Capital.
Washington, which has the reputa
tion for being entirely too blase when
it comes to distinguished visitors, has I
the opportunity now to outdo New I
York. The parade of the 17th of
September will be the Grand Review

Keeping Up With
The Times
A FACT A DAY
"Your advertising rates are
too low." That was the com
ment of a visiting metropoli
tan newspaper publisher in
The Times office yesterday.
"Your volume of circula
tion "warrants higher rates;
the character of your circula
tion justifies them; your rela
tive position in the field
makes it possible to get them;
the results to the advertisers
from a concentrated circula
tion like yours more than
90 per cent within shopping
distance are bound to be big;
your recent marked increase
in circulation alone would
support increased rates; your
inevitable mounting expense
of publication, including the
jump in white paper cost, de
mands them."
Nevertheless, The Times has
no present intention of rais
ing its advertising rates. It
prefers the big volume, small
margin business policy.

PARIS. Sept. 9. A Russian wire
less dispatch sent out from the sta
tion at Moscow and picked 'up here
tcday said that President "Wilson's at
tack on Lenlne (the red dictator) In
his speech in Kansas City had greatly
angered the Bolshevik populace. The

The Russian newspapers were said
by the dispatch to be supporting

Is the biggest hyprocrite in- the
world." The wireless continued:
"President Wilson accuses of
cruelty men who In one year have
granted three amnesties to armed
enemies, while he himself refused, am

peccadilloes men like Tom Mooney,
whose innocence has been officially

While the soldiers made no attempt

had been thrown through the windows
of private homes.
Finally, after much disorder, the
authorities succeeded in restoring
order. Pickets were established and
thirty arrests made.
The pillagers carried on their work
systematically, attacking first the gro

foodstuffs. Then the ringleader
shouted:

The men made a dash for the nearest

In the meantime, goods were being
handed out by men Inside the wrecked
store's to others on the outside.
Heavily laden soldiers started toward
the barracks and dropped bottles of
wine, packages of tobacco, and food
stuffs on the way. It was not long
until the streets were littered.
Officers ordered the buglers to sound
"fall In." and loyal troops that had
taken no part in the foray on the town
were sent out to curb the looters.
