An Editors TrnnhIe.

The physical infirmary of Conner
Davises, of Concordia is well known to
his brother editors. says the Kansas
City Journal One of his legs is off at
the knee. He will not wear cork sub
stitute, but contents himself with a
wooden peg on which he stumps around
most cheerfully. 1t cannot be denied.
though, that he has considerable trouble
with his artificial limb. In the early
days OF the Republican Valley the only
timber available was green cottonwood,
and Davises had to carry a pruning
knife and trim off the sprouts on his
leg whenever II came wet weather.
Now he is in trouble again-which same
he recounts as follows:
when a young schoolm'am gets in
oculated with the fad OF typography IL
is hard to say to what extent IL will
take her. She wants to burn all sorts of
pictures on all sorts Of bric-a-brac and
furniture. and we know a man who has
to hide his wooden leg every night to
keep his daughter from burning pic
lures of a small. snake or some other
such reptile on 1t while he sleeps"

PRINCE FusHIM1,s FAREWELL

In his lecture on Tuesday night, Mr..
Hobson said this nation occupied pc
culiar position in respect to other ma
tons. 1t was feared by the other Pow
ers-the great Powers which were put
ting their faith in militarism-and was
looked up to and appealed to for aid
by the oppressed of all the world. II
it had a great navy. Mr.. Hobson said,
it could easily command peace through
out the world, because no nation would
dare bid defiance to it's expressed
wishes, and its wishes. being the voice
of the people, would be in the direc-
ton of peace and good viii, the better
ment and uplifting of the people Of
all lands.
On Monday night, the night before
Mr.. Hobson delivered his lecture,
Prince Fushimi of Japan, the repre-
sentative of the Mikado and the heir
to his throne, made his farewell adj
dress at dinner given by the Asiatic
Association at Delmonico's in New
York city. In the course of his re-
marks, he said:
II have not failed to note that the
events of the world which have taken
place in the last few years have been
OF such nature and significance as to
demonstrate with increased emphasis
that the United States occupies a po-
s1tion so unique among the nations Of
the world that it seems to me almost
as though this country, with it's enor-
nous power and wealth. has been es-
pecially created to illustrate to all
mankind and in the end to enforce
among them the principles of justice
and fair play"
The thought expressed by the Prince
was practically that expressed by Mr..
Hobson, and 1t is near the truth to say
that their view of the position of the
United States among the nations of the
world is that which is held by think
ing men the world over. If it is the
correct view it ought to have a sober
ing effect upon our statesmen, for their
responsibilities are great, and it ought
to encourage the American people to
strive for the highest ideals in their
local governments as we'll as in their
national government. If they are to be
an example for the guidance of other
nations, and. at the same time. the
power to insure peace and promote
good will among them, they must be
worthy of their high position.

The Secret Of Good Times.

1t was rainy evening toward the
end of the summer. says the Youths
Companion. and ''the crowd'-the four
or five families of friends who had
been spending month together among
the Vermont hills-had gathered about
the Delands' open fire. Something
perhaps it was the combination Of the
rain without and the glowing fire with
in. perhaps it was the thought of au-
tumn and work-seemed to put every
body in a reminiscent mood, and for
an hour or so the talk ran upon the
doing of their nearly ended holiday.
IF holidays could only last forever.
Maud Hastings sighed.
Then they wouldn't be holidays, .
somebody retorted, quickly.
What makes good times, anyway
some one else asked
Their hostess rose with an exclama-
ton of pleasure.
What a fine question: she exclaim-
ed. There are pencils and paper right
here. Suppose we each answer it, or
try to. and then we'll read the am
swers aloud. Each one may name three
requisites for good time
The plan took" at once. and for a
lew minutes pencils were pussy, IAen
the papers were collected and read
aloud. The answers, as was to be ex-
pected, revealed very diverse tempera-
ments. The curious thing was that a
most unexpected process of elimina-
ton began with the reading.
A book and a shady nook, and
time to enjoy Them was the first
response.
A book and time to read it would be
enough" some one amended.
"Oh, just book a third corrected.
Sometimes I think you enjoy it most
II you can steal only few minutes at
a time"
Health, fine day, and all the world
before you," another read, to be an
swered by chorus of protests over
the fine day. Did they not often have
their best times on rainy ones? And
Fragile girl in the corner added
softly, You don't even have to wait
for health"
80 the papers went on, and finally a
vote was taken, and the things most
conducive to good times were decided
10 De happy heart, friends and ma
lure. 1t was the girl in the corner
who made her discovery then.
Why" she exclaimed, i've so been
plying people who couldn't go away
Tor vacations, but after all, the best
three things are within reach of every
pody-if he wants them enough
Inc hostess, gathering up the scat
tered papers, smiled as if something
had pleased her

The President Of the National Bank
of Allthetin sat in his private office
The door opened and a yelled woman
entered, says the Portland Oregonian
Il want to borrow $1,25O,OoO," she
whispered.
Have you any security?" asked the
President. Merely as a matter of form.
/ assure you" he fastened to add, as he
thought he detected signs of weeping
behind his visitors veill.
"Oh, do you want security?" asked
the woman. Give me a piece of paper
and a PEN"
She wrote a few words and presented
the paper to the President.
'Ah, Carnegies note for $4,000, 00O''

ture is genuine?"
Sure, Mike" responded the mysteri-
Gus stranger; didn't you see me white

Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
has introduced into Congress a bin to

to pirate the works of English authors
without rendering any valuable con-
sideration to them. He wants to le-
galize the American form of spelling
certain words, and to outlaw all books.

words are spelled in the manner in
common use in Great Britain. The
bill provides that 1t shall not be
deemed an infringement of copyright.
granted after July /, 1905. for any per-
son to reprint and republish any book.
magazine, newspaper or periodical in
which words like "harbor." "candor. -
'armor" and honor" are spelled with
the insertion OF an u" before the r."

"antagonize" and authorize" are

! The South is waking UP to the fact
that she is in need of immigrants to
| develop her resources. The govern
ment is willing to assist her in get
| ting fair share of those arriving from
Europe, but she will have to do some
thing herself. Representatives of rail-
ways of the South met the Commits
sioner of immigration in Washington
on Monday, and talked over the sit
uation with him. OF the railways in
terested in this state the Southern, the
Atlantic Coast Line and the Georgia
| Southern and Florida were represented
at the conference. If there were 9TH
ers the fact did not appear in our
| Washington dispatches. 1t is rather
remarkable that the Central of Geor-
gia Railway had no representative
| present. Heretofore that road has
shown a progressive spirit in all mat
ters relating to the upbuilding of the
state, particularly that portion of it
contiguous to its lines.
Commissioner Sargent said arrange
ments were being made to take care
of immigrants arriving at New Or
leans, and that in future efforts would
be made to turn some of the tide of
immigration through that port. That
would insure the South a portion of the
immigrant supply. He also proposes
to establish a bureau of information at
Ellis Island, New York harbor, where
information relating to all sections of
the country will be distributed to inn
migrants on their arrival. If the
South wants to be benefited through
this bureau she will have to supply in
formation respecting her advantages
for immigrants. also the kinds of en-
Payment open to them and the prices
at which lands can be obtained.
OF course the Southern railroads will
see to it that the territory in which
they are interested is brought to the
attention of immigrants, by supplying
the bureau with the kind of informa-
ton that will be the most effective to
accomplish the object they have in
view. And the Southern states might
aid in this work. A small appropria-
ton from each state would be suffi-
cient.
Some of the Southern states have
considered the advisability of sending
immigration agents to Europe, but
Commissioner Sargent says that the
government wouldn't countenance eff
forts of that kind.
1t is evident that in future the South
will have an equal chance with the
West in getting immigrants. Hereto
fore all the influences have been in
ravor of helping that section, but
there is such tendency of the immi-
grants to form colonies in the Eastern
cities that the government is now will
ing to do almost anything to get the
immigrants to scatter throughout the
country, and to settle to as great an
extent as possible on farms.

The very best temperance argument
is the one that hits the pocket nerve.
1t appears that statistics gathered by
the life insurance companies make it
clear that total abstainers live an
average Of about ten years longer than
even moderate drinkers. For this rea-
son total abstainers are given a lower
rate than moderate drinkers, and
heavy drinkers are not wanted at all
as insurance risks. Many persons labor
under the impression that a moderate
amount Of alcoholic drink at dinner is
an aid TO digestion. The cold facts are
said to be altogetheE against this con-
clusion.

PRODUCTS OF FRENzIED FINANCE

BY means of the newspapers and
magazines we are getting glimpses of
some remarkable products of fren-
zied finance. The people of two worlds
nave been and are still being interest
ed and amazed by the alleged revela-
tons of Thomas w. Lawson in one of
the magazines. The tales he tells of
the doing Of some of the best known
men in the world of finance surpass
anything that appears in dime novel
literature. If what he says of men
VINO control many of the banks, trans
portation lines and industrial plants of
the country is true the tribunals of
justice are not doing their whole duty.
IL he is to be believed there is more
moral rottenness among those who
pose as the best citizens than among
those who are continually under the
suspicion of the police. And Mr.. Law
son admits that he speaks from expe-
Renee. He knows the men he is talks
ing about, he says, because he has
been associated with them in various
kinds of business transactions.
1t is alleged that the recent furries
in the stock market were the result of
the efforts of Mr.. Lawson His publi-
cation in the newspapers, 1t is claim
ed, weakened confidence in certain
stocks, and the selling of these stocks
caused the. prices of other stocks to
decline.
In some of Tuesdays New York
newspapers another phase of frenzied
finance appeared. Mr.. Lawson is at
tackled in half page article, set in
large type. The author of it apparent
ly regards himself as having been
chosen to avenge the wrongs Mr.. Law
son has inflicted upon the innocent
lambs that wandered into Wall street.
He pictures Mr.. Lawson as a man so
bad that he would be received into the
lower regions with fear and trembling.
He expresses the utmost contempt for
the subject of his article and de-
nounces him in language of extreme
bitterness. He closes by saying he will
call personally for his answer at Mr..
Lawson's office.
Are there going to be more phases
of frenzied finance? If so the lambs
should take warning and give Wall
street wide berth The more the vo-
taries Of frenzied finance expose each
other the clearer it will become that
the best and happiest people are not
those who heap up millions of money
by methods of doubtful legality and
morality.

The suggestion in the Presidents
message. following the recommended
ton in Secretary Metcalf's annual re-
port, that the national government
assume supervision of the insurance
companies rates and policies, will
probably not be combatted by the
companies. Indeed, some of the
leading men of prominent companies
have expressed the opinion that it
would be a very good thing for them
to have federal supervision, since It
transpires that in many of the states
the insurance companies are already
under state supervision. And the laws
of the various states respecting insur-
ance are far from uniform hence it is
the fact that big company doing
business in many states finds itself
under the necessity OF conforming to
conflicting laws in the various states.
If there were one general law cover
ing all of the states, the companies
would be subjected to considerably
less expense and trouble.
