Then Senator Foraker took hand.

said. but it is not in any other state

There is a great deal of law the

Foraker was rash. He came back
again:
''Undoubtedly. and especially in

Bailey PLAYED with him.

Il have no doubt you learned some

Foraker flashed back.
The republicans laughed.

there as much rs his atorial duties

And Foraker went away back and
sat down. The republicans gave UP

any or all of the republican orators

aptness of Senator Bailey in quick re-

in his fight in the senate for the

HohenzoIIerns Always Friendly.


The visit of Heinrich HohenZOllcrn,
as the representative of his brother,
the German emperor. brings back to
the readers of history the memory of
some of the early experiences of ihis
republic with the governments of the
old world. In those days, although
we had just whipped the British to a
finish. with the aid of the French, we
were little folk from Il national
standpoint. and the monarchs of
Europe were not falling over one an
other i'm their efforts to make il APP
pear that they were our friends. 1t
Will be recalled that previous to the
formation of the present constitution
Ben iamin Franklin and John Adams
were appointed commissioners To the
European powers for the purpose of
negotiating with them treaties of
commerce. Thomas jefferson was
subsequently made = member of the
commission. These three NEST adroit
statesmen and diplomats found the
task assigned them nearly impossible
of performance. jefferson i'm his auto
biography assigns the following rea-
sons for the comparative failure:
The European powers seemed i'm
fact to know little about as but as
rebels who had been successful in
throwing off the yoke Of the mother
country. They were ignorant of our
commerce. which had been always
mOnopOlizcd by England. and of the
exchange Of articles it might offer

The republicans of Kansas are not
certain whether they have done II
smart or stupid thing. Fer some time
the populists have made a practice to
place on their ticket the names of
some of the democratic candidates.
The republicans ON getting control of
the Legislature adopted a measure
which forbids the placing of name
ON more than one ticket. The re-
suit of this * the dissolution of the
populist party and the union of its
members with the democracy. How
the republicans will realize any bene-
fit from this is not clear.

AS che Twig Is Bent.

The great problem for the suppress
sion of cruelty to animals may be
solved If we turn more from the cor
rective to the preventative stage.
That trite saying aptly fits, "You
can't teach an old dog new tricks"
There is little hope of permanent re-
formation among men and women
stepped in the habit of cruelty.
We turn with hope, however, to
the youth and children of our day
for the application of preventative
methods. The spirit that animates
child to take pleasure in giving pain
to dumb creature, more helpless
than itself, is the same that prompts
acts Of cruely in an adult to a child.
Some boys can find no better pas
time on summer evenings than chas-
ing poor cats from place to place;
and this Vnfeeling play is often car
ried to the extreme of killing.
A stray dog runs along, a boy
picks up stone and hurls it at him;
yelp Of pain tells us the aim was
too true.
Dare we look with Indifference at
this spirit of cruelty, which these APP
parently small acts, are generating
in the children?
Will the peace and welfare of our
country be safe in hands of these, who
are to become our nations protectors,
the parents of our next generation?
We can well trust our country's
honor to the soldier who, on his
march, picked up a little bird, but
toned it snugly in his coat and when
camp was reached, fed and tenderly
cared for it. Why not publish names
Of offenders against humane laws?
A number Of interesting stories of
kindness to dumb creatures, collected
in book form, introduced into our
schools and public libraries may
serve TO create in the hearts Of the
young a love for all helpless creatures
and put to shame the spirit of cruelty
which is dominant.
Clubs may also be formed among
children as supporters Of the noble
work the humane societies Of the
United States and the world are un-
dertaking.

USE GOOD ENGLISH
Most Of the Young Men and Women
of Today Have Not Mastered


Strange as it may seem, most of
the young men and women of today
who aspire to become influential or
ators or writer's, even those who
are graduates of high schools and
colleges, find that. like Dwight L.
Moody. the evangelist, they have
not mastered grammar. For nearly
twenty years. educators, almost
without exception, have been try
ing, with but indifferent success, to
make various sugar-coated language
lesson series do the work formerly
accomplished by old-fashioned
grammars in giving students an &C.
ourate working knowledge of the
mother tongue. One natural con-
sequence Of these attempts is that
the number is comparatively much
smaller than 1t once was of so-called
well educated young people who
can tell with certainty whether or
not they speak and write just what
they wish to express.
Thorough drill in formal grammar
should be made a prominent feature
in every school whose pupils are not
less than ten years old or more than
twenty-five. But, inasmuch as this
subject, as usually presented, is
found to be very difficult and unin-
teresting for pupils under ten years
of age, it may we'll be preceded by
an elementary course in language
lessons, which will enkindle inter
est and prepare the mind for the
solid work in analysis ana construc-
tion which should follow.

Pike county land is in demand
judging by the attendance of the

1t would be hard to end a town
the size of this where there is more
unnecessary noise on the streets
every evening than there is here.
The outlook for prosperous sea-
son for the farmer at present is far
from good. Winter grain is badly
wintered out, meadows look sick,
upland grass promises to be about
half a crop, corn looks very yellow,
but the later will improve when it
gets hot enough.
Potato bugs, as usual, promise to
be a full crop, There is a chance

wild Land Sales.

The attendance at the sales Mon
day was good and the tracts offered
were quite eagerly bid for. Fewer
tracts are being sold than formerly
and the land is gradually passing
into the hands of parties who are
disposed to hold itas an Investment.
The state having acquired a large
quantity, which is permanently out
of the market, the actual value of
the balance is increased. If people
would only properly regard the
matter of forest fires and make a
combined and determined effort to
check their ravages and to ferret
out and punish those who carelessly
or otherwise cause them a fine
growth of timber would in a few
years cover what are now barren
and desolate hills which are being
denuded of soil by every rainfall.
This is a matter of pure economy.
The body Of farmers pay the taxes.
Their acres are bound to bear the
burden. If the land which is now
barren could be protected from fires
in a very few years it would become
Of value as timber land aud its as
sessed valuation could be increased
thereby relieving the farmers
This is a matter which increasingly
interests our citizens and if they
would determine to restrain the
few who have little care for or in
terest in taxes who cause the fires a
different state of affairs would soon
prevail.
