For the first time in it's long life of sixty-seven years The Pilot finds it. self the subject of grave rebuke by esteemed contemporaries, on the ground that "a religious paper should have nothing to do with politics" Ap- parently those contemporaries saw no harm in democratic politics, which were those of The Pilot until the pres ent year.-Boston Pilot.

Of course they realize that President Roosevelt is giving an imaginary twist to the British Hons tail occasionally, but those who know him perhaps as we'll as the Pilot editor does think that he is playing to the grand stand, in other words he wants the votes of the men who want to see the lions tail pulled hard.

The results of the various processes used in preparing cotton for the mar ket and in utilizing the so-called waste portions are shown in the Ok1a- homa exhibit in the palace of agricul- ture at the worlds fair. The cotton is shown as it appears in the boil, af- ter 1t is picked, and after 1t comes from the gin. The seed, after being separated from the cotton, is ground and separated from the hulls. The latter product is used as forage, and the seed is pressed into large cakes. The raw oil resulting is made into the refined oil used for cooking purposes. Soap is also made from the crude oil of the cotton seed. The products of the various processes are shown Tn glass jars.

Crop prospects continue the con- trolling factor in both financial and business circles, says Banker Clews. August is generally a month of deter ioration, and September. too, has its perils from frost. Thus far. however, the crops have escaped serious injury. Corn is our most important crop; and fortunately the great bulk of 1t is now out of danger, so that the pros pect still remains for 2,50O,O0O,OO0 crop. Cotton, our second largest crop, declined considerably in condi- tion, during August, owing to less fa- vorable weather and attacks Of the boil weevil; yet the acreage is unpre- cedented and condition above the av- craze, so that should the crop fall to or somewhat below 11,5OO00O bales we will still secure a bumper yield. AS for the boil weevil, the government experts have assured us that notwith- standing the big scare last year it de- stroyed less than 3 per cent of the crop The shrinkage in the wheat crop has already been fully discount ed and yield of 55O,0OO,0oO and over is still within the range of possibility. This is the season for crop scares, and it is likely that exaggerated damage stories have proved exceedingly profit able to their speculative orig1nalors. Such news, however, must be accept ed with caution during the remainder of the growing season. Up to date it is certain that we will have an abundance of all important crops ex- eept wheat, and no serious scarcity of the latter, while at present profitable prices farmers may rest sure ot a prosperous season.

Judge Parker in his speech of ac- ceptance touched upon the United States as a world power In the follow ing language: "Ours is a world power, and as such it must be maintained, but deny that it is at all recently that the United States has attained that eminence. Our counry became q world power oyer a century ago, when, having thrown off foreign donl- ination, the people established a free government, the source of whose au- thority sprung, and was continuously to proceed, from the will of the peo- pie themselves. 1t grew as a world power as it's sturdy citizens, to whose natural increase were added immi- grants from the old world seeking to obtain here the liberty and prosperity denied them in their own countries spread over the face of the land, re- duced the prairies and forests to cul- tivation, built cities, constructed high ways and railroads, till now a nation which at the formation of the govern ment numbered only three millions in population, has become eighty mil lions, and from ocean to ocean and the lakes to the gulf, the country is the abode of q free and prosperous people, advanced in the highest degree in the learning and arts of civiIlza- l ton. 1t is the liberty, the advance ment and the prosperity of it's citi- zens, not any career of conquest, that make the country a world power. This condition we owe to the bounty of Providence, unfolded in the great nat ural resources of the country, to the wisdom of our fathers, manifested in the form of government established by them, to the energy, industry, nor al character and law abiding spirit of the people themselyes..H

The Durian.

The durian is fruit of malodorous fame which is found in the islands of the East Indies. It is of a round or oval shape, green and prickly on the outside, but having soft, cream-col- ored pulp of a delightful taste. Were 1t not for the disagreeable odor 1t would probably become one of the most popular fruits, but so strong and lasting is the nauseating smell that should one take even taste of durian he would be unable to mingle with so- ciety for some time after.

Hypnotining Rabbits.

An American physician, who has been accustomed to experiment with rabbits generally found that chloroform killed them before he had chance to operate Disguised at the wastefulness of this method, he tried hypnotism on one rabbit that he had left and found, to his sur prise, that with a few passes of the hands he could easily hypnotize the little crea- ture so perfectly that 1t lost all capacity for movement or sensation. If rabbits can be hypnotized, 1t will seem perhaps little less incredible that some diseases of horses may yield to mental treatment London Tit-Bits.

For some time the white races have been inviting the yellow tiger of Asia to wake up and come and play with them, says writer in Field and Stream. It is beginning to wake up. Some time, perhaps, we may wish that 1t had not walked up quite so much, and that its style of playing were @ trife different; but that is a matter not of politics, but of civil1za- tion, and need excite no apprehension If it comes, it comes Meantime, however, in these days of wider ac- quaintance with the far corners of the earth, we are gathers by some new ideas and an occasional new express sion. Two things the American who travels in China or the Philippines learns to say. Gan do,'' and Have got" If you ask your man servant in those countries if he can get you horse, or a piece of pie, or thousand dollars at the bank, or a clean shirt, man servant, is Gan do." This means that he can do what you ask him to do. If you are playing golf with an officer of the army in the Philippines, and he makes successful putt on the green, his instinctive exclamation of triumph is "Have goty' This being l interpreted is no more obvious than when it Is not interpreted. Neither is the expression "Can do." We do not know whether these expressions had an equivalent in the Orient before l the arrival of the white civilization. Tn any case, they express good mod l ern doctrine of the sort which makes for American success in business or in anything else We like the sound of that phrase "Can do.'' We admire the man who, when asked in regard to the result of some effort, does not shilly-shally and hesitate and rub one foot against the other, but who an- swers with confidence "Can do'-and then does. There is an intimate rela- tion also between "Can do'' and
 Have got;'' the same relation which exists between confidence and success.
 We commend these products of the
 Orient to the professional motto mak- CTS of the day.
