Several southern papers are demand
ing with much vigor that the Demo-
cracy no longer refuse to recognize that
section in selecting it's presidential
candidate. The Commercial Appeal OF
Memphis is particularly emphatic in
asserting that the South should he
supreme in the Democracy since the
party looks to that section for most.
and sometimes all of its electoral votes.
There is doubtless some justice in this
position. but the attempt to make
political parties sectional parties is
hardly to be commended. The solid
South is a bad thing. particularly bad
for the South itself, but as long as the
northern Democrats can count on it as
solid they are not likely to go there for
national candidates or party leaders.

Reflections of { Bachelor.

1t is the man who can keep his mouth
shut that can keep his brain OPEN
1t is astonishing how some girls who
don't lock it in their everyday clothes can
fill a bathing suit full up.
If there were nobody in the world to tell
it to, a woman wouldn't care any more
for secret than a man does.
The uneasy thing about trying to get
rich is that the more a man gets, the
more he realizes how much more there is
to get.
The girl who knows how to cook may
not be a fast Splinter before marriage,
but she wins the long-distance matches
afterward.

KNOWLEDGE of the Bible.

We recently spoke of the plea made
at the national meeting of educators at
Minneapolis, that the Bible be studied
as literature in the schools. This plea
opened I'D the whole question OF
whether the people now read the Bible.
and if not why not, and the papers and
magazines have given it much discus
sion. That the present generation IS
far less familiar with the Bible than its
predecessors hardly needs demon
stration. If there is any doubt. Presi-
dent Thwing of the Western Reserve
University al Cleveland, removed it re-
Gently when he tested the Biblical IA
,piItaritv of mis- freshman class, num-
herring "a. The results of President
Thwing's investigations have been pub
pished in a. magazine and have caused
wide comment. The article was read
in many a household with superior
smiles. only to be changed to confusion
when it was found that not many could
answer all the questions with any de-
gree of definiteness or exactness.
President Thwing for his test, it will
ne recalled, selected extracts from Ten
nyson containing supposedly well-un-
derstood Biblical references. The re-
suits were enough to have made our
Bible-reading forefathers turn in their
IS in, hn fln c {
failed to understand the reference:
Ny sin was a thorn
Among the throngs that grit thy brow,
Twenty-four knew not of the VOW OF
Jeptha, referred to in the lines:
The goddess Jeptha vows his child
To one cast OF the dice.
Nineteen had never head of Ruth and
Boaz. Twenty eight knew nothing of
the gourd of Jonah. Only nine under
stood a reference to Lots wife. Twen-
ty-six were ignorant of the meaning of
'Joshuas moon in Ajalon.' An allu-
sion to Christ's miracle at Cana was
lost upon "a. And most surprising of
all, only - could clearly explain the
deeply significant words: Let her eat
it like the serpent, and be driven out
of her paradise"
1t would seem no further proof We're
needed as to whether the present gem
Grafton reads it's Bible. AS to why it
does not and as to methods for making
II there is room for discussion. The
educators at Minneapolis recommend
that the Bible should be read and stud
led as literature in all schools and col
leges. Bat it can hardly be hoped that
to include the Bible with Spencer and
Shakespeare and Milton in the college
curriculum under literature would
alone accomplish the desired result.
Indeed, it seems hardly probable that
unless we return to the ways of our
forefathers, we can ever hope to have
our forefathers familiarity with the
Bible. Our forefathers knew their
Bible because they were compelled to
know it. 1t was a part of their school
books and their stories and their play.
The most effective punishment at
school was the memorizing of long Bib
lical passages, and the school punish
ment was generally supplemented by a
similar one at home If the children Of
the old time had studied the Bible as
mere literature" it is much to be
doubted whether they would have
known it so well in the end. But study
business, accompanied by devout awe.

An interesting experiment in trolley
management is being tried in New
Hampshire. where the Boston & Maine
Railroad Company has opened trolley
line from Manchester to Concord. Some
steam railroad managers have main
tanned that trolley roads cannot be OPP
Grated profitably by steam roads. Pres
ident Tuttle, however, is not afraid TO
try experiments and this one will be
watched with much interest. both by
the public and by railroad men. In
this case the franchise was given the
railway company in preference to indi-
vidual applicants on the ground that
the company was in better position TO
give satisfactory service. New Hamp-
shire with its great summer travel
ought to be a splendid field for trolley
lines, as we'll as Maine. and their multi
plication there is probability of the
near future. The railroads, instead of
omposing the movement, evidently be-
lieve that it is for their interest to di-
rect and control the inevitable trolley
extension.

Her Promised Doll.

This is the story they tell Of cum
ming little fiVe-year-old girl whose
nurse had been promising her oil
summer 4 little coon doll when the
family reached the city, if she would
be very good and obedient. This was
delightful promise, and the little
girl was as good as a little fve-year-
old could be. Then the family came
back to the city a little earlier than
usual and something interesting hap
pened-a brand-new baby came to tho
house. 1t was n funny, red-taced lit
tie creature, which only lGving
mother and experienced nurse could
possibly consider beautiful, but it
was a great thing for the little girl,
who had never before in her short
life seen real live baby. "There il
a great surprise for YOU" said tho
nurse, taking the hve-year-old up
stairs, where the little new sister was
lying snuggled up under n canopy OF
muslin and ribbons What do YOU
think of that?" She continued, Lift
ing the little girl so that she could
see the funny little face on the white
pillow. And the little girl was as
much pleased as everyone had ex-
pccted she would be. She gave the
nurse n big Aug az she cried 20,
