Would Rather be a Presbyterian.

A Presbyterian father and mother
who are somewhat lax in their attend
ance upon church services sat in their
summer cottage last Sunday afternoon
and overheard the following conversa-
ton between their seven-year-old son,
Hugh, and his playmate, who lives in
the cottage next door.
Il don't like Baptists," said Hugh.
The playmates parents are Baptists,
and he protested Indignantly with, "Ah,
get out! You don't know what Bap-
tist is.'
81 do so,'' retorted Hugh. "They
stick people under the water and pre-
tend that they are soaking their sins
out"
This was a poser, and seemed to ad-
NIT Of no answer. Gradually the con-
versation drifted to the two Irish maids
whom Hugh's mother employs.
"Is Katie Rafferty, Catholic?" asked
the playmate
You bet she is. Why, she goes to
church every Sunday morning."
'Is Katie. O'Hoolihan a Catholic?'
"No, 1 think she is a Presbyterian,
because I never see her going to
church."
Courtney called a woman's voice
dressed; it's time for Sunday school" 4"
ooh, my!" sighed the playmate, with
an air of rebellious submission; 'I wish
my mamma was Presbyterian.

Good idea in Umbrellas.

Here is what 1 believe to be the
only umbrella of it's kind in New Or
leans,' said a lawyer who has an Office
in the shopping district. Il bought it
in Germany year before last, and no
body can open it except myself. Do
you notice that little keyhole in the
side? Here's the key on. the other end
of my watchchain, and until it is in
serted and turned the thing is absolute
ly immovable Anybody else would
find it harder to raise than a Kansas
mortgage. On at least a dozen differ
ent occasions the umbrella has been
stolen, or taken by accident, if you
prefer the term, but it always found
it's way home. You see, my name is
cut on the handle, and the umbrella
itself is we'll known to all the attaches
of the building. When they see a
stranger struggling with it in the
doorway on rainy day they promptly
confiscate the property, and bring it
back. 1t is such a good scheme I'm
surprised the idea hasn't been general
ly adopted in this country. New Or

Vermont has set an excellent exam
pie. 1t merits following by other
States. Assuredly it can result only
in good. This is what Vermont has
done and is doing: She is educating
the health officers and inspectors of
the State in sanitary science and it's
latest revealments. She calls them to-
gether periodically for instruction by
expert and learned sanitarians. These
convocations they must attend. They
receive there information of highest
value, and returning to their several
districts convey the information to the
people and put into practice the in
struction they have received. Thus
uniformity of action in sanitary work
is secured throughout the State. More
over the health authorities of the sew
eral towns and counties act in har-
mony in all matters where they have
relation one to another. One of these
official meetings was recently held at
Burlington, and was attended by eighty
health officers and by a large number
of physicians. The subject considered
was the general one of how to secure
higher success in the sanitation of the
towns and cities of the State, and the
cognate subject, what improvement is
called for in sanitary regulations to
be observed by the people and en-
forced by the officials

might we'll have added. But it did
not come soon enough to prevent the
battle of Manila and the victory over
the Spanish forces.
Had the Spanish under the protocol
have marched out of Manila peace
fully, and the two forces have awaited
the conclusions of the peace confer
ence, we might have abandoned the
Philippines with dignity and without
impairment of international obligation.
But we forcibly overthrow Spanish
power, and for it's authority substituted
our own, with all the obligations there
by assumed and made incumbent upon
US. Abandonment Of the islands after
that would have meant turning them
over to anarchy, misery and misrule.
Before Congress passed the army bill
the war had been four weeks in pro-
gress, the 10000 American soldiers
then in the Philippines had been as
sembled there with no thought of con-
flict with the Filipinos, but simply to
defeat and displace the Spaniards.
When, therefore, the Presidents ac-
ton in view of these facts is considered,
it will be found that he proceeded with
prudence, good judgment, and to quite
the limit of his authority
The Senator presents a strong case,
but really it was scarcely necessary.
The thinking people are well advised of
the facts. They are not carried off
Of their feet by the fears of the critics
referred to, and the sensational efforts
OF the hysterical correspondents of the
yellow press, nor is their faith shaken
in the President. They will stand by
the Administration, and not withdraw
their confidence in it's foresight and
wisdom.

THE BLUE AND GOLD" CASE.

The editor and associate editors Of
| BLUE and Gold" at the State Univer-
sfty, who We're suspended for publish
ing coarse and Extensively personal
matter in the guise of thin wit, have
been reinstated. And why? Not be-
cause any mistake was made in judg-
ing the matter; not because there was
any error on the part Of the faculty
in denouncing such procedure as un
worthy the sheet and the University;
but because it has been discovered that
the offensive "joshes'' against the CO.
eds, and which most shocked the fac
Nulty as unworthy assault upon woman
hood were written by women students
at the University. In other words,
certain girls in the State institution
so far misjudged what constitutes true
wit and genuine humor as to indulge
in expressions which the faculty prop
erly held to be insults to womanhood
But how does this discovery excuse
the managing editor and his aids.
passed, and without whose approval
nothing of the kind could have ap-
peared in the Blue and Gold?" Was
pressure brought to bear upon the fac
ulty and convenient excuse found
for reinstating the suspended men?
This suggestive inquiry may judge the
faculty harshly, but it seems impossi-
bic to reach any other conclusion after
reading the severe and emphatic judg-
ment Of condemnation that same fac
ulty pronounced few weeks ago re-
garding these very offenses.
If what the faculty then declared
was true. and If the acts complained
of were worthy of the punishment in
fiicted, what earthly reason can be ad-
vanced worth a red copper for going
back upon that judgment, reversing
the decision and reinstating the Offend
ers? Assuredly no one for moment
will seriously contend that the dis.
covery of authorship In the women OF
the school was sufficient. Those para
graphs constituted but portion Of
the offensive print. and no matter who
wrote them the managing editor could
not be excused since he became part
ner in the offense by accepting and
printing the silly text.
But passing that, what shall be
thought of young womanhood which
can pen stuff" which the faculty, when
ignorant of the authorship, condemned
as indecent and vulgar? Is this
sample of what the University is Civ
ing the people for all their expendi-
ture upon it?
Let us be thankful that a negative
response can be given. It is an alb
normal thing; an exception and an ex-
cresence, thing so unusual and SO
opposed to the good fruits of the Uni
verslty that we can in mercy overlook
it, with the consolation that at least
the sin will probably not be repeated.
But the University women have suf-
fered In the estimation of men, despite
all that can be- said. A few were
offenders, but unha ppi1y for all the
others with the knowledge of who the
offenders were Withheld, the whole lot
is smirched Either that or the iudg-
ment of the faculty was grossly un-
just and the condemnation it pro-
nounced originally was unwarranted.

suppose that they have given him evil
