WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1011. RACING CARS. Last Sunday night an automobile went up the main street of Hones dale like a streak of lightning. 'Had any one chanced, to cross the street at the time, It is extremely probable they would have met a quick death. Tho car was going so fast that escape would have been impossible. Happily, no one was hurt. But since when has 'Main street been turn ed into a speedway? :0; THE CANTEEN AND THE ARMY. It Is astonishing news that the efficiency of our army Is far below that of any. European force because of alcoholism and diseases due to dissipa tion. Yet such Is tho case. Hospital admissions for alcoholism are about 25 In 1,000, while the admissions for disease are nearly 200 In 1,000, due to the vicious dives around every army post. The canteen was abolished to "increase the efficiency of the U. S. mili tary establishment." This, It seems, it has not done. Almost every man who is high up in army circles and well Informed on the subject, urges the reestablishment of the canteen. One says: "When the W. C. T. U. realizes that the result of the aboli tion of the Post Exchange has produced this enormous increase of wretch edness in the Army Hospitals, 'I believe it will work as earnestly for tho restoration of the canteen as It did for its abolition." In his report for 1910 General Wood says that the consensus of opin ion in the Army is that the canteen should be re-established. In this he Is seconded by Major General Fred D. Grant. With such authorities so strongly In favor of the plan It would seem that It was the best thing to do if the ravages of disease and drunkenness among our regiments are to be checked. ..sij'.ijft1 .-m -Cit"-1 1 & jT.t . k -' "' - :0: THE LITTLENESS OF MEN. The Paris Academy of Sciences has refused to elect Madame Curie, the discoverer of radium, to membership, because she is a woman. View ed from a scientific standpoint, Mme. Curie is a more remarkable woman than any who have ever lived, bar none. Her scientific discoveries rank her beyond .Cleopatra; Queen Elizabth or Florence Nightingale and yet she was turned down by the votes of men who are far, far below her in worth and merit. April, 189S, saw the discovery of radium made public. Hon ors poured in on the wonderful Polish woman and the scientific world bubbled with excitement. . She next discovered polonium, which Is even more marvelous in its properties than radium-. i -:.. .-.. - But In spite of these two epoch making discoveries, the men of the French Academy -turned her down. The' Academy had no seat for a wo men! The littleness of men is appalling. Here was a scientist greater than any of her sex and far greater than any of the opposite sex in France, at any rate, defeated for' membership because she didn't wear trousers! Mme. Curie need not be hurt at her rejection. She is too big and fine to mind the injustice. Her name will live long after the names of the "little men" of the Academy have been forgotten. :0: LOCUSTS AND DEMOCRATS. "We don't have any locusts in Wayne county," said Stato Horticul tural Inspector W. H. Bullock, to a Citizen man Tuesday morning. "I don't know why we don't, because wo could Import them If we wanted them, but we don't want them." Mr. Bullock returned last Saturday from Monroe county where he has been Inspecting orchards. He told the reporter that the locusts had done considerable damage In that section and that many of the trees 'looked as If they had been burned. So thick were the shells In some places, that you could scoop them up by the handfull. Chestnut trees seemed to appeal mostly to the Pharaohonlc tribe, although they did not confine their at tentions to them. The dyed-in-the-wool 'Monroe Democrats relate that they found the Initials "W. W." on the back of many of the locusts. To their supersti tious minds jtbls was a sure prophecy that the next President would bo a Democrat, and that his name would bo Woodrow 'Wilson. It certainly would be too bad If their suspicions do not become certainties, for the next invasion offtlip. locusts will not take place until 1928, and the next time a Democrat will occupy the presidential chair will be about the year 1982 A.
