The Kaiser and America.

Now If the kaiser wants to inaugurate fit
tingly his scheme for an exchange of lee
turers between the seats of learning In Ger
many and those in America let him come
over and pay a visit to the University of
Pennsylvania and give the young men there
q taste of his own intellectual quality. His
reception would be hearty beyond descrip-
ton. In fact. he might find himself devel-
oping from a lecturer into a stump speaker
A class room would be too small for the
purposes. and college boys would not be
alone III their desire to hear him. Harvard
Yale, Princeton, George Washington, CO.
lumbia. Cornell, all the great schools would
want to share in his visit, and would offer
him abundant inducements to look in on
them, while the great municipalities would
vie with one another in asking to hear from
him on public topics. As the phrase is with
US. he would have the time of his life.
For exchange we could send to Germany
at the end of four years Mr.. Roosevelt, who
meditates a trip abroad at the end of his
term as President and who would feel very
much at home at Heidelberg or Bonn talk
ing to the students about his own or their
country. and on any topic. from books to
hunting big game. And his reception would
be a rouser. Young Germany would ac-
claim him quite as heartily as young Amer
lea would the kaiser. Strenuosity would
speak to strenVosity both sides, and the
ties of the people become the stronger
Besides, it would do the kaiser good 20
See a zeal democracy in action. He has
passed through this country. but he was
young and Untried man at the time, and
was principally on pleasure bent. Now he
is a seasoned ruler. who eats. drinks, sleeps
and thinks government; and all that we
and do would greatly interest him. His
reading has of course kept him advised of
our progress. but seeing through his own
and not anOther's eyes would carry the
story 80 much further with him.
The rulers in Europe when a visit to
America is proposed say that the distance

and comfortable. and wireless telegraphy

Delaware,

Reports from Delaware indicate that Mr.
Addicks is beaten, but let us wait for the
fact accomplished before jubilating. He
deserves to be beaten. and if the day is at
hand those who have assisted in the good
work are entitled to all praise But to
whom should the office be accorded? Ger
tainly not to a mediocre or an obscure man.
Turning from one widely condemned, the
republicans of Delaware should commission
some man whose presence in the Senate
would be an assurance of both character
and ability. and restore the state TO the pc
stion she once held In that body. Such a
choice would be the best investment the
state could possibly make, and good in
every way would come of it.

A Peril.

Takin' things too serious, it really pears
to me,
Is causin' very nearly all the trouble that
we see,
Worryin bout the weather when expert
ence will show
That the sunshine's bound to follow every
case of rain or snow.
Gettin' the impression that your own par
ticular brand
OF sorrow is the biggest that is raised in
all the land;
Thinkin' bout yourself until you find you're
half delirious.
Nearly all the bother comes from takin'
things to serious.
Some folks on holiday makes labor out
o mirth,
Toilin' an hurryin' to get their moneys
worth;
Never takin time for any comfort an
repose
An maybe gettn' jealous of some other
persons cloes:
Maxim it a custom in their pleasures to be
glum
An clingin' to their sorrows like they must
enjoy EN- some;
It's time the nation realized it's mighty
deleterious,
This universal tendency fur takin things
too serious.

try, in themselves more or less educational
and a distinct stimulus to science, art and
literature. Naturally these works were in
the main located at the capital. Washing
ton himself evidently foresaw in some
measure this development of the re-
public in whose birth and initial develop
ment he had SO wonderfully assisted. But
that the educational advantages OF the cap
ital of the nation were to become so rich
and varied was probably not imagined by
him. He could not easily have foreseen
the extent to which the governments &C
tivities would go in fostering learning
through its own establishments
The purpose of those who have wrought
this recent change in the scope and name
of the Columbian University is now to
utilize these facilities to the full and by
identifying the institution with the project
of George Washington to enlist the aid and
sympathy of all who hope to see his benef-
cent ideals approximately realized. 1t is
their belief that considering the changes or
the past century such an organization Will
be productive of even greater results for
the uplift of the nation than though the
university were strictly government
Establishment Thus it may be that the
lapse of time since the death of Washing
ton and the practical undertaking of his
recommended tons will be fruitful of good
to both the enterprise and the people. Sue
cess now calls only for hard work by every
patriotic believer in Washington's prin-
ciples of Americanism. Generous giving,
systematic cooperation on the part of SUBJ
ordinate collegiate organizations and wise
management will. without question, result
in the rapid development of the truly
American university. commanding limitless
opportunities for usefulness and standing
for the best in the national character.

the disappointed lover itemizes his waste of time at 81

At the time, Cleveland girl is suing for
$200 charging that he coured her for three years and

The Methow Valley News has the
following on the subject Of the irri-
CATION scheme on which Mr.. Mclean
has been working:
Briefly, it is proposed to take
water from the Twisp river about
four miles above town. The ditch
is to follow the high banks of the
Twisp to the Methow, when bitches
will be continued down the latter
stream on either side. A pipe line
will carry the water across the
Methow similar to that used on the
Wenatchee canal, giving the desired
elevation on the other shore 1t is
proposed to make use of a natural
reservoir site on Mr. A. Howe's
ranch to be utilized for the storage
of water for city purposes. The ditch
will cover between four and five
thousand acres of excellent land ad-
jacent to the village of Twisp.'
