II might not be a bad idea torequest
all trusts who desire to be good TO so
signify by holding up their hands.
This is the suggestion of the Wash
ington Star. But what a curious thing
would happen were they so requested.
The hand Of every trust tould shoot
into the air and the hands Of eighty
millions Of Mortified Americans would
go up in horror at the wholesale falsi-
flying of those same trusts. No, let us
not ask them to perjure themselves;
they have quite enough to answer for
already.

Current Comment

For ill-temper or unhappiness the
blame is usually ascribed to the in
- cidents of life.
Some word is said
'pe'"" which suddenly
sets our passions aflame, or an ac-
cident occurs which upsets the peace
ful balance of our minds for the
large part of day; and we lay
the fault ON the person whom we
think is to lie blamed. But II we
would carefully consider, the fault
would usually be found in ourselves.
Have you not noticed, asks the Bos-
ton Watchman, that what may cause
irritation at one time will be en-
dured with perfect cquanimity at
another? Why not then look for
the fault where it usually lies-in
yourself. 1t may be fit of indi-
gestion, or too little sleep, or not
enough rest has brought your tenn
per to the brink where the least
jolt tips il over. II you were further
away from the brink the jolt would
have had no effect. They recognize
that the real trouble is in your be-
ing so near the brink, and not in the
one who gives the jolt. A sound di-
gestion, plenty of sleeep, reason
able amount of work and good
conscience enables one to endure the
jcstling and buffetiEg of life with an
astonishing amount of composure.

President Han, OF Clark university,
may defend the use of slang, but
r. the Ric h m n d
(Va.) courts will
have none of it.
The use of the term lobster as an
epithet of reproach became popular
in the music halls couple of years
ago, rapidly made its way into the
clubs, hotels and boarding houses,
and from there began to invade such
portions Of society in general as are
subject TO the temptations offered
by new forms OF slang. II has now
been established at Richmond, how
ever, according To the New York
Post, that the use of this term Is
serious offense. Lieut.. John w.
stark, a member Of the Virginia
state militia, called a brother officer
lobster" The brother officer
took the matter 10 court, and Lieut..
Stark was dishonorably discharged
from the Virginia militia, and sen
fenced to spend two months in the
city jail. Thus the legal status of
the term is fixed.
