A doctor over at Sigourney tells
us this good one: a patient called at
his Office, stated his ills, and the doc
tor wrote prescription and handed
it to him. The patient then inquired
the p ooablt cost OF getting it filed
and was told about 60 cents would
pay the bill. The patient then asked
the doctor for the loan OF that ano-
unit and the doctor; scratching bis
head drew d line across several parts
of tie prescription and then handed
it to the patient saying, Now you
can get it filled for d dime Those /
scratched out were for nerves; bat |
see you do not need anything for
them.

The Revision Of Gaelic

A chair of Gaelic has been estab
lished at Harvard University and lib
orally endowed for the purpose of re-
viving the original tongue of the l.
IRISH. Whether the undertaking is
practical or not remains to be deter
mined. Linguists who have studied
it say it is a r:ch language, flexible
and luminous and some Irish scholars
contend with the Characteristic ear
nestness and vehcmence of the race,
that but for British tyranny Gaelic
would still be the language of the /
rish race. If this is SO it does not
speak as much for the vitality of Gae
lie us those who insist upon its resus
citation claim for it, PitssburG Post.

WHAT OF GUAMP

What with the Presidential cam paign and the war in the East, Nan Patterson and Mrs. Chadwick, the Philippines and the Panama Canal. and various other world-shaking mat ters, there has been a disposition to forget and neglect our little princi- pality of Guam. There have been weightier matters as some look at them to occupy public attention and so Guam has been ignored.
 But 1t is all there yet. just where it was planted some thousands or mill lions of years ago. It Is still the gem of the salted seas. the sweetest flower in the posey of islands. the bright star in the constellation of dependencies. Now that the Presidential contest is over and the Republicans are no longer engaged in constructing defences against the encroaching Democrats, some attention is being given to tne little orphan, and some developments are coming to the surface which show

THE BILL SHOULD PASS.

The Advertiser Is in receipt of a let ter from The Calaveras Big Tree Com mittee of the Outdoor Art League of quoias of that region. These trees are now private property. and there Is a bill before Congress providing for the purchase of the groves by the Govern ment in order that steps may be taken for their preservation.
 This is a bill that ought to pass. These trees form one of the wonders of the age. Doubtless they are the oldest of all living things, animal or vegetable. being, as botanists claim. hourished ages ago. If not protected soon they are doomed for the lumber mills are cutting them down and soon the last one of the giants will have disappeared. Even if seeds or young trees are left on the ground centu- ries must elapse before they will at tain their full growth. even if they ever do. and to preserve a remnant of them steps must be taken very soon, It Is stated that there are now forty mills and logging companies engaged inF the work of destruction and they will make short work of them if they are not stopped.
 Government is asked to do a great many things. many of them of a pure. ly sentimental nature, and Is asked to spend much money for which there would be 10 defence, but this is one we can heartily commend. These trees are. as we have said, among the great wonders of the world. and should be preserved by the Government itself for future generations till time itself de- stroys them.

General Miles Has Put Him in a H.

General Miles Has Put Him in a Hole. Washington Special to New York
 World
 Army officers are chuckling over the way the President has been put in a hola" by the announcement of Gov srnor-elect Douglas, of Massachusetts, that immediately after his inauguration he will appoint Lieutenant General Miles his Adjutant General and request that he be detailed for service with the Massachusetts militia, under the Dick law
 Though the question will not demand a formal decision until the application has been filed, 1t already is giving MT. Roosevelt some anxiety. He would like to snub General Miles again, but this time he cannot do 1t without also snubbing Governor Douglas and the people of Massachusetts. And he has been told by some of his closest friends that the people of General Miles's na- tive State will resent any such action
 Some of the Presidents friends have said that 1t is against the policy of the War Department to appoint any retired officer above the grade of colo mel to serve with the militia of any State But the law Imposes no restric- tiops as to grade. It says:
 "The Secretary of War may assign retired officers of the army, with their comsent. for service in connection with the organized militia in the several States and Territories upon the request of the Governor thereof. - and such officers while so assigned shall re- ceive the full pay and allowances of their respective grades"
 While the assignment of officers ask ed for Is optional with the Secretary. no request from any Governor ever has been refused. Therefore If the re- quest of Governor Douglas is denied it will be attributed entirely to the Presi- dents personal enmity to General Miles.
 If General Miles is assigned to Mas sachusetts he will receive the full pay of a lieutenant general. which is $10.- 500 year and allowances. His pay from the State as AdjutaRt General will be $S.600. His pay as retired officer is $s.25o
 It is reported at the War Department that Governor Douglas will appoint Major General Kobbe, retired, on his stan to assist General Miles In build ing Hp the Bay State militia

A WONnERFuL WAGON.

No doubt most people have heard or read of that wonderful one-hoss shay" of which Holmes-was it not?- wrote. It was so evenly constructed. so perfect in every part, and of such uniformly good material that 1t couldn't wear out or give way. Each part being just as good and strong as every other part, 1t naturally followed. according to the deacon's logic who built it. that no one portion of 1t could fail before all the other parts did. The result was that in the fullness of time the vehicle fell to pieces in all its parts and that was the lend of the wonderful one-hoss shay" It was a mere pile of ruins.
 The same kind of mechanic must have built the wagon of which a Mis-. souri man was recently telling, accord ing to the Kansas City Journal He ayers that to his certain knowledge it Is now 65 years old, and that 1t has the same wheels, axles, springs. body and tires that 1t had at the beginning. The only repairs that have ever been made was to put two new spokeS ip one of the wheels, and the owner says he does not hesitate to carry a load of 1000 pounds on 1t. and that 1t bucks like a broncho" If the load is not properly adjusted. Some day we predict that the wagon will end like the deacon's shay and practically re- solve itself into It's original clements

THE MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER.

that Guam has been shamefully neg iected and badly treated.
 Secretary Morton tells us of some things that have and have not been done which show criminal negligence in our treatment of the Quantities. Among other things we learn that there is no good system of govern. ment for the people. and that the ju. dicinl system is sAamefuiiy unsatisfao- tory and imperfect. worsi of all, we learn that the education of these chil- dren of, the tropics is shamefuliy neg iected. Although there are now 2.soo children of school age there is but one school building. and 1t badly furnished We doubt if there Is a plano. q sym nasium or a football outfit in the en- tire school building. We doubt if there is any provision whereby these poor. neglected little ones can learn Latin or Greek, the differential cal- culus or the squaring of the circle. Think of, 2.3oo half-naksd children. evoluting from savage innocence to OiSAiS0V CEoAt Witu puI one ocnOOls house! How can they be expected to know Herod from Hesiod. St. Paul from Paul Kruger. Henry of Navarro from Harry Lehr. or Theodoric the Great from Theodore Rooseveltf Who is to teach them of Cain and Abel, Of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, of Joan of Arc and Benjamin Franklin, of Madoc and Christopher Columbus, or of De Soto and Pushmataha? They can't learn anything useful or ornamental under such circumstances. We doubt if the girls can learn to play ninch or the boys to play baseball.
 It is shame, a dirty shame, for our smallest infant to be thus neglect ed. No Legislature, no courts, no schools-hardly anything that makes for civilization. advancement and im- provement. While the President and the Congress are looking after the weightier matters of the law" and keeping track of the great nations and rulers of earth they shouldn't neglect the baby.

SUNDAY. DECEMBER IS. 1904.
ANOTHER RAISE PROPOSED.

Senator Stewart, of Nevada, goes one round higher on the salary aues- tion than any one else has done. His the presiding officer of each House $20.000 and each Senator and Repre- sentatives s1o.0o0. The bill is not to go Into effect till 1909, and nothing Is said about increasing the pay of Cabi- net officers. Stewart, as will be re- mernbered. was formerly one of the most rampant free coinage howlers in the entire bunch, but now he is train ing with the Republicans.
 But even this bill, liberal as it is. is not satisfactory to The Buffalo News, which is one of our intensely Republican exchanges. It not only wants the salaries of the Cabinet ofi- cers increased correspondingly with the other benefeiaries of the grab, but wants the raise for all of them to stead of standing them off four years more. In this The News is consist ent for it wants its Party friends to get as much as possible out of the Treasury while they hold the keys. It knows that Democrats may come into power four years hence and they would get all the benefit of the pro- posed raise. This is not at all in &C., eordance with good Republicanism. and The News wants Roosevelt and other Republican officials to get the increased salary at once. The least compromise 1t is willing to consider Is that the Presidents salary be raised to $loo.0oo at once, and that the next one get double as much. but it would only agree to this as a last resort. What it really thinks ought to be done Is that Congress should pass the Stew art bill and let the present Republi- can administration get the beneat of 1t. That is sound ana consistent Re- publicanism at all events, and that ia what we should expect from a Renub. lican organ. Where the monev for these increased salaries is to con,a from is not apparent, but that is not bothering those who champion tha raise.

 The amusing feature of the Anglo Saxon fad of ruling the universe. which Jchn Morley has so gently ridiculed, is in its ignorance of racial history. In the island of Great Britian itself. not to mention Celtic Ireland. the majority who have ruled the government for generations are not of Anglo Saxon origin. But. admitting the Anglo Saxon basis of the English people in this country the Anglo-Saxon immigra- tion was already outstripped, even in colonial times, by other European rac- es The blend of Scotch. Irish. Ger mans. French. and Dutch, mostly of Celtric origin, has formed a new American race in which there is ut- tic Anglo-Saxo blood.

 The proposed reduction in the Philippine tariff are bitterly opposed by Connecticut Valley tobacco growers, who fear with the introduction of American capital and American methods of tobacco culture the islands, which have not heretofore been a factor in the cigar wrapper market, will become dangerous competitors of New England wrapper tobacco growers
 The Dingley tariff affords a protec- ton of $1.S5 a pound op Sumatra to- bacco, the greatest competitor of New England goods. Tobacco growers claim that the soils of Sumatra and the Philippines are not so dissimilar that American ingenuity will be unable to grow Sumatra quality of leaf In the Philippines. The Philippine situation will be discussed next month at the annual convention of the New England Tobacco Growers Association, an organization which has heretofore maintained paid lobby in Washing ton when the interests of its members were at stake.
