1t is good to have the rubber tire of
silence on the tongue when ones near
est and dearest seem to deserve re-
buke. and when bitter words rise al
most TO the lips and to adjust that gen
tie guard when gossip and scandal
come to ones ears and tempt utter
ance one is so seldom sorry for the
unkind thing left unsaid.
We are too apt to put rubber tires on
some things where they might better
be left Off There is conscience for
instance: we want to so deaden the
Jar of the world from it's senstiveneSs
that we fairly envclop it in rubber
cushions. Then we say Lie still. dear,
and go to sleep" and we gaily bounce
off undisturbed by it's mufTled walls be-
cause of the frailties and sins great
and small, over which we drag it
breathlessly. Then there are the rub
ber tires that soften for our sympathies,
the crOssways Of pain and surferings of
others over which we ride ana because
the jar does not suddenly wrench our
feelings we say: "Oh, there is little
want ard suffering except that which
people bring on thems elves. We have
been imposed upon So often That
wasn't a very ptiful case, it really
didn't appeal to us as we came along"
And we rubber tire our tenderness so
that it isn't awakened by the loneli-
ness Of those who sit at our own fire
sides, and We softly protect our ener-
gies and desires and our good inten-
tions, so that they must not be driven
over the untrodden road where sharp
stones of reflection and of the worlds
necessity may injure their fine con-
struction, and we say to the murmur-
ing voice within: Tomorrow We win
do that gentle deed we have so long
promised, tomorrow we will say to tho
one at our side. You did well this
day. tomorrow We will begin to make
life more noble, more beautiful. But
tomorrow never comes and while maxi
ing promises to it we one day arrive
at the end of the path where the soft
est padded wheels can carry us no
further.

Tho alleged interview with Dewey In
which the Admiral is represented as OPP
posing the forcible subjugation Of the
Filipinos must he regarded as Of doubtful
credibility, not so much on account of
the sentiments expressed, therein-for
many Of them are in accord with senti-
ments he is known TO have entertained
and expressed in the past--as on account
OF the improbahility of his so freely criti-
oislng the policy Of his superior, the
President of the United States, for the
sentiments expressed are tantanount to
criticism of the Presidents policy. Dewey
from the day he went to Manila has been
remarkably self contained, and 1t is high
ly improbable that he should become gar
rulous at this juncture, especially to a

SUSAN B. ANTHONY.
TO the Editor Of the Press:

TO tho Editor Of the Press;
When Susan B. Anthony returns to
America from the great International
Council Of women recently held in Lon
don, she will come with an added luster
to her crown of glory. When I'VE read
of the oyations which greeted Miss An
thony on every side while in London, we
cannot but feel thrill of pride that she
belongs to us and is an American
through and through. The London Times
says: "The London people are going wild
over Miss Anthony, she is being enter
tanned by all the lords and ladies of the
United Kingdom. She dimes with Lady
Somerset, stops over night with the
| Countess of Aberdeen and breakfasts with
her, she lunches next day with the Ouch
ess Of Sutherland, islsss resolved by the
Queen, and threatens every day to call
upon the Princess of Wales, who Is really
very anxious to see the dear old lady
suffragist.
The London Dispatch to the New York
World says: when Susan B. Anthony

ton with that accorded her no longer ago
