LIFE is taken up with a regu-
lar routine of cares and response
bilitles and many men think they
are too busy to spend any time
with political affairs. Especially
is this true ofpublic spirited men
who unselfishly give Of their
valuable time for the public in
terests. In this year. when to
the usual business cares are add
ed the uncertainties of the future
and the danger of the present in
commercial transactions, there is
unusual danger of such neglect.
Men who make q business Of
politicsare ever on the alert to-
take advantage of the carlessnessi
of those who are so absorbed in
their own affairs that they have
nc; time to devote to the interest
of the public. Professional poll
ticians are not affected by mon
entary crises. Now is the time
for Republicans to keep alert and
prepare for effective work in the

THE hog product in the United

are not on account of a short

their action. The expectation Of

The West Virginia University

of Mr.. Anderson to fill the char

proved by the alumni and others
who understand the situation.
No serious objection can be urg
ed as regards Mr.. Armstrong
who goes to the chair of mathe.
mates. However. when certain
professors were bounced it
was to be presumed that their
places would be filed by better
men. This evidently has not
been done. The action of the
board in demanding the resigna
tion of DR.. Turner and all other
professors and then their failure
to elect another president, leaves
West virginia's grandest and
greatest institution of learning
in a very critical condition. The
institution has prospered under
DIR. Turner's care and unless the
regents had o proper and we'll
qualified man to at once assume
control, no change ought to have
been made in the presidency of
the institution.

STRUGGLING the trainmen to be merciful
and to wound with buckshot rather
than to kill with bullets is, however,
open to question. The train robber
extends no such consideration to che,
railroad cmploye. He shoots to kill
every time. Reciprocity in this mat
ter is advisable, and it may be taken
for granted thatthe trainmen, when
they come to close quarters with the
bandits, will not observe the merci-
full injunction too closely. If they
are wise they will blaze away as long
as they have ammunition and defer
any charitable proceedings until the
train robbers are laid out in a neat
row alongside the track. That plan
of operations will do much to cheek
the epidemic of ''hold-ups."

who stole sos, 900 worth ofgold from
the Philadelphia Mint will not be
punished. The Treasury officials
have declared that his crime was the
''result of a mania for gold" and
have begun to declare him a klepto-
maniac. We recall the casc of a man
who had a hunger for bread, and
when he stole a single loaf Judge
Murphy passed him over to San

The Raindrop Princess.

The Raindrop Princess is a rain
maiden who comes to the earth in a
storm. just when she comes no one
knows exactly, but it is when the
storm RACES fercest. The Raindrop
Princess loves the earth, and when
her subjects are flooding it with rain
drops she tells them to stop as soon
as she thinks Der dear earth has had
all the water it needs. When it is
raining, the Raindrop Princess
watches the earth very carefully, and
when the thunder is terrifying the
boys and girls and is driving them
into the house to seek the refuge of
dark closets, with closed doors, she
grieves and would like to tell them
to be not afraid. In the midst Of
the loudest peal of thunder the Rain
drop Princess comes to the earth,
and then the drops cease falling at
her command, and the sun comes out.
The German children are taught to
love the Raindrop Princess. And
when the rain has been falling heav-
lily and a ray of sun pierces the
clouds they laugh and clap their
hands and shout:
sSee! The Raindrop Princess is
stopping the drops! Look how she
calls out the sun!"-New York

An Apparent Injustice.
An Ancient Birdland,

For ages before it's occupation by
man New Zealand swarmed with
great winglcss birds, which found
here no carnivorous enemies, but an
abundance of vegetable food. The
moas not only existed in vast num-
bers and for thousands of years, but
had such diversity of form as to en-
brace no less than seven genera, con-
tanning twenty-five species "a re-
markable fact which is unparalleled
in any other part of the world. The
commoncst kinds in the North Island
were only from two and onc-half to
four feet high. Those of the South
Island we're mostly from four to six
feet tall, while the giant forms,
reaching twelve and thirteen feet,
were always rare. Immense deposits
of moa bones have been found in 10.
calities to which they appear to have
been washed from the hills in tertiary
times. Skeletons ON the surface of
the ground, with skin and ligaments
still attached, have given the i'm
preston that these birds have been
exterminated in very recent years,
but other facts point to a different
conclusion. Tradition seems to show,
according to L. NJ. Hutton, that the
moa became extinct in the North
Island soon after the arrival of the
Maoris in New Zealand-that is, not
less than four hundred to five hun
dred years ago-and in the South
Island about a hundred years later.
The fresh-appearing skin and liga-
ments are supposed to have been pre-
served by unusually favorable on
