NATURES DEBT TO THE POET.

Once upon a time there was meet ing and conference of some of the greatest and most interesting objects in nature.
 "We owe much to the poet" said the little Star, ssbecause he has given us permission to do many of the things that we delight in. If he had not given permission, what would we do? To me he said. Twinkle. twinkle, lit tie starr and I have been twinkling ever since."
 'sThat's right" answered the Sun, s'and think how glad I am and how thankful the earth should be that Shakespeare said, Arise, fair sum- 7
 But where would I be and what would old earth do," asked the Spring, s'If Thomson had not said, Come, gen. tie spring.'''
 .tAnd think" said the Ocean, Chow quiet and fiat I would be if Byron had not written, Roll on, thou dark and deep blue ocean, roll "
 Said the Winter Wind: s'What an opportunity Shakespeare gave me when he entered the order, Blow, blow, thou winter wind.'"

THE ABUSED DOUBLE NEGATIVE

An idiom may defy logic. Take the double negative for example. A boy says, 'I hadn't had no time to get my lesson" His l anguage may be objec- tionable, but his meaning is undoubted. The teacher understands it as he in- tends her to understand it, but she has heard that two negatives make ar af- firmative, and she retorts: "Ah you mean that you have had some time! You have said the opposite of what you mean" The laugh is on the boy-if he can be laughed out of his ouble negatives, so much the better. Yet the teacher is wrong. The two nega- lives in his sentence do not make an affirmative, or they are neither so meant nor are they so taken by the nearer. According to a very old En- glish idiom. one negative strengthens another. The idiom has ceased to be good English, but it has not changed it's meaning. The boy is in fault because he is using an obsolete idiom which has become vulgar, not because his language means the opposite of what it was meant to express. .-Harper's for July.

RIGHTS OF THE FRIARS.

Who would suppose, from the tone of the American press. or even from the tenor of the communications of the administration to the Vatican, that the Philippine friars had shad- ow of legal right behind them? "The Friars Must Go." is the current cry; yet it is in direct disregard of the most solemn treaty obligations as sumed by this government. The ces- ond paragraph of Article VIII of the Treaty of Paris reads:
 S'And it is hereby declared that the relinquishment or cession, as the case may be, to which the preceding para graph refers. cannot in any respect impair the property or rights which by law belong to the peaceful posses sion of property of all kinds, of provinces, municipalities, public or private establishments, ecclesiastical or civic bodies, or any other associa- tions having legal capacity to acquire and possess property in the aforesaid territories renounced or ceded.''
 Now it is to that clause that the Philippine friars. and their protectors in Rome, are entitled to point and say, ''We stand upon the law" The holdings of the friars come distinctly under the provisions of the treaty. They are plainly property of the sort which we have pledged ourselves to allow no man to 'simpair". Yet when it's owners come to the American au- thorities in Manila and Washington and demand that they be reinstated in ''the peaceful possession of their pro- perty," the answer they get is, 'sNot at all. You must go.'' Indeed, Secretary Root declares that the United States cannot permit'' the reinstatement of the friars in their property. We vowed we would do it; now we say that we shall not allow it.
 There is nQ question about the val idity of the title by which the friars hold their lands. Governor Taft has had the matter looked into, and has pronounced their legal capacity to ac- quire property" and their title to the vast estates which stand in the name of their religious orders, to be absolute ly perfect. Their right to demand their own at our hands is as clear as any claim ever made upon a government and we, in fact, assented to it in ad- vance. It is now alleged in Wash ington that lone of the avowed ob- jects" of the insurrectionary govern ment under Aguinaldo was to expel the friars and confiscate their proper ty; and much is made of the intensity and bitterness of the feeling among the Filipinos.'' But what has this to do with the case legally? We knew al this before we made the treaty Our commissioners at Paris were full ly informed. by John Foreman and others, of the deadly animosity which the natives cherished for the friars. Yet they nevertheless set their hands to treaty binding us not to impair the property of the religious orders s'in any respect"

A PANHANDLE WRECK.
Engineer Killed, Three Passengers

Engineer Killed, Three Passengers
 Burned to Death and Many Hurt.
 DAYTON, O., July 25.-By the wreck ing of the Panhandle limited late last night at Trebins Station, near Xenia, Engineer Clark of Xenia was killed, his fireman of Cincinnati, name un- known, had his head crushed, right arm broken and both legs cut off, three passengers, two women and man, were burned to death in Pull man sleeper and a number of other passengers were injured. A wrecking train was hurried out from Xenia and another from this city with all the doc tors that could be secured.
 The train was flying eastward at highest speed when the engine struck a loaded coal car which in the dark ness had escaped from the siding in Xenia and had run down grade to the danger point. The engine struck it go- ing at full speed and was turned over, with Engineer Clark underneath. The postal car, combination car and day coach, impelled by the heavy sleepers behind, piled over the engine. Two Pullmans followed and were laid across the track at right angles.
 A gas tank under one of the cars ex- ploded, setting fire to the wreck. The postal car, the coaches and two sleep CTS were destroyed entirely.

THE CASE OF MISS TAYLOR

Rebecca M. Taylor is the name of a plucky young woman in Washington, l who was a clerk in the war depart ment until certain day last spring, when Secretary Root summarily dis | charged her from government service l because she had dare d to write let ter to Washington newspaper, in which she fearlessly criticized the course of President Roosevelt in the Philippines.
 Secretary Roots action in this case was exactly what would have been taken by the Russian, German or French government in similar circum- stances. It gave every employe of the United tatas government to un- derstand that while he draws pay from that source he must not publish words of disapproval of anything that may be said or done by our chief "ruler," the president of the United States.
 Miss Taylor having had the courage to say in print what she thought of the conduct of the administration, nat urally determined to make a contest for what she regards as her rights. She thinks that under the civil service rules, to which the president express es such constant devotion, her removal
 
 has entered suit in the supreme court of the District of Columbia, with a view flo securing her reinstatement. The court has invited Secretary Root to come into court on Ju ly 2S andey- plain why Miss Taylor's request shall not be granted in the form of judi cial order requiring him to give her back her clerkship. 1t may become celebrated case
 That Miss Taylor is very smart woman is proved by her talk about the matter. She says:
 Il feel very strongly on certain po- It1cal policies of the present admins trat1on and believing that I had the undoubted right to express my feelings publicly did so. It cannot be possible that officials, such as one of the civil service commissioners, may be per- mltted to make public addresses in ad- yocacy of the so-called Philippine pol icy and humber emplOye of the service. like myself, not have the right Of publicly opposing the same policy If these distinctions are to be permit ted, then 1t is not clear that an ad- ministration may practically use the whole force of civil service employees to strengthen its position of power either by converting them to active ex- ponents and supporters of it's policies, or negatively by silencing every person among them who is opposed to it's poli- cies? Surely it was never intended that a person, in entering the govern ment service, should surrender his rights as a citizen ,amonf them the right of holding and expressing politi- cal and religious opinions"
 We think Miss Taylor is entitled to be restored to the government ser vice. Her logic is invincble If the civil service commissionrs have the right to advocate publicly the Phil ippine policy, other employees of the government may publicly express con- trary opinions.
 The dismissal of Miss Taylor for ex- pressing sentiments which do honor to her heart well as her head was an act of tyranny. It should be made impossible of repetition by any mem- Der of the cabinet.-Hartford Times

THOUGHT HIM QUALIFIED


 Over in. Nicholas county the other day a young gentleman was driving along the road with what in Pendle- ton county is known as his "best girl' seated contentedly beside him in the buggy. The horse had been allowed to select his own slow gait on the cool highway. The young mans arm had stolen gently around the young lady's waist and there you had a picture of sweet content but seldom witnessed. Presently the couple became aware that a farmer passing along the road in the opposite direction was staring at them. The young gentleman in the buggy instantly flashed defiance at the intruder. "Rubberl'' he cried sarcas- tically. "Rub her yourself" quickly answered the farmer; you've got your arm around her,''-Cynthiana Demo crats

We can't paint a picture, or carve statue. or make a coat, but we can wash clothes to perfection. We can do it because we do nothing else-haye done nothing else for a good while-bc- cause we have studied it, and thought about it, and worked hard as any painter ever did. It requires as much hard work and practice, and talent, to make a good laundry as to make good picture. Everybody can't paint a pie ture-everybody can't wash clothes per fectly. We want you to give us fair trial, and allow us to prove our word.
