TASTED TWO WORMS
The Wonderful Word-TwistinS OF
DIR. SpOOner Is n JOY to
Oxford Students.

DR.. Spooner, the newly appointed
warden of New college, Oxford, has,
by his famous habit of word-twist.
ing, added a new word to the English
language, says Home Chat.
| am not prepared to vouch for all
ae ''Spoonerisms'' which are current
in Oxford and other places, and of
which the most classic is the story
of the hymn given out in chapel as
"Kinquering Congs Their Tatles
like" for in such cases fact and
myth get inextricably blended; but
some of the tales are worth repeating
without regard to their veracity.
Thus a railway porter is said to
have been directed by the worthy
doctor to take my things out of the
carriage, a rag and two bugs" while
to one who had wandered into his
pew at church he courteously TX
planned, Excuse me. sir, but you are
occupewing my pie"
In his sermons Dr.. Spooner is said
to have frequently come to grief, and
an allusion in the pulpit ia the care
with which a Showing leopard" tends
his flock gave the undergraduates a
fine opportunity of displaying their
self-control.

young mar who had not discovered

Republican Leaders Take Dinerenf
Views of Controlling
this Trusts. Q

The republican leaders should get
together and agree on information
they impart to the voters. President
Roosevelt, in what was doubtless a
carefully considered speech on the
tariff and trust issue, told us that the
Sherman law was inadequate and a
constitutional amendment was essen
tial 10 control the trusts. The Ohio
republican platform says: "Combina-
tons for the monopoly of trade aad
kindred unlawful purposes are direct
ly amenable to penalties provided by
republican legislation" meaning. of
course, that the Sherman law is ample
to control the trusts. Which of these
statements are we to believe, that of
the president or Senator HANNAH
Neither do the same authorities agree
on the tariff a affecting the trusts, for
the president said that the tariff had
no connection with the trusts, while
the Ohio platform after declaring as
above quoted on the control of monop-
olies, further says: mo worthy in
terest is imperiled, but whatever will
work public harm is restrained and
that without resort to the democratic
plan of destroying all American indus
tries through tariff revision. or other
wise"
"Or otherwise" is good. 1t allows the
republican brethren a hole to crawl
into when the democratic plan of tar
if revision has relieved the people
from trust extortion, which is o per-
mitted by the protection the tariff
gives them.

Former Postmaster General
Smith believes there is no great de-
mnnd for tariff revision amongst the
republicans, but adds: 81 believe, how
ever. that the platform of the party
will declare for revision, but in such a
way that business interests will not
suffer" IF there is no great demand
for tariff revision why should the re-
publ.icans attempt to fool the people
by declaring for it in their national
platform? To declare against the
trusts and for revision of the tariff,
and not intend to carry out either
declaration. is rather a stiff dose of
medicine to get even the republican
voters to swallow.

The Philadelphia textile operatives
are probably not conversant enough
with the general financial and indus
trial situation of the country to APP
preciate the manufacturers point OF
view. The manufacturers cannot be
governed entirely by the factors of the
immediate present. If the signs Of the
times point to a probable lessenlng OF
their profits in the not very remote flu
ture, through falling prices for their
products and lessened demand, they
could hardly be expected to advance
wages at this time, even if their mon
etary profits were as large as the
| operatives seem TO believe"
We have had six years of fine crops
which have sold at high prices; our
tariff has not been touched and prob
ably will not be touched for years to
come; the crop prospects this year are
good and the outlook for high prices
is excellent. Why then are there clouds
In the industrial sky? If our prosper
ity were real prosperity for all and
not simply prosperity for the trusts
and monopolies and high cost of living
to the masses, it would not go all to
pieces, as it now appears to be doing,
at the slightest suspicion of anything
but excellent crops. We should be able
to weather one year of poor crops after
five or six excellent ones. We are not,
because the protected trusts have
slapped the earnings of the masses and
exhausted their buying power.
Thus it is evident that there are
more reasons than one why we should
| take Hanna's advice: "Let well enough
| alone and keep or letting it alone;
| hands off" Our th~in-shelled, unsub-
| stantial and unsonnd prosperity will
not stand handling, not even with
| care "Workingmen, beware: touch
il at your peril" is the advice both of
the republican politicians and protect
ed manufactur ers. "Stand pat" don't
bulge or look sidewise or the whole
protection prosperity structure will
collapse.

POPE LEO KIN DEAD.

In the death of Pope Leo NH
the world loses one Of its greatest
rulers and most powerful leaders.
The world at large has sustained a
loss that is irreparable and it is
doubtful il man can be found
who will WELD the power and in
fuence which the dead pope did.
Although for many weeks the
pope's death has been momcntar-
lily expected, yet it was neverthe-
less shock when it finally oc-
cured. The wonderful vitality of
the man has been shown through
out his sickness and his beautiful
character has shown forth in many
ways. The entire Christian world
will mourn his loss for he was in
deed a great man. Pope Leo was
a great thinker and great worker
for the cause OF human progress.
His thoughts ana deeds were not
entirely confined to religious sub
iects but he had a keen interest
and took an active part in the
great social and ethical questions
OF the day, and so just and well
formed We're his opinions that he
became a power in influencing and
shaping the great policies OF the
nations.
Although OF the advanced age OF
ninety-three years, his mind was
as keen and active as that of a
man OF much fewer years, and he |
retained his wonderful memory up |
to the last few weeks of his life.
He was a man noted for his tender
ness, mercy and charity to all liv-
ing beings and his life should be
a lesson to all. His beautiful
character is worthy OF close study |
Memorial services and prayers
are being offered in every part OF
the world and nations and men
alike mourn the demise OF so true
and great leader.

One OF the most important steps
in the worlds history is about to
be taken The choosing OF a sue
cessor to Pope Leo XIII is certain
ly a step which should be taken
only after due consideration. So
many things must be considered
and the political, social and mental
status of the man chosen must be
so thoroughly discussed, that the
election assumes vast proportions.
All the cardinals have been sum
moned 10 Rome and on them rests
the selection OF a successor to Pope
Leo XIII. That a man worthy OF
this great trust may be found is
the most earnest wish OF all, and'
the powers OF the world are look
ing forward to the announcement
OF a successor with interest.
