culinary expert, gave a dinner recent

women.

OUR BEST IDEALS.

This peace conference at our sug
gestion and on our soil is in accord
with our true tradition, is one of the
proudest events in our history-quite
regardless of it's outcome, which we
cannot control says the Saturday Eve
ming Post 1t is a fulfillment of our
natural mission to mankind. To re-
main aloof from the embrollments Of
the less advanced, less fortunately iso-
lated, less happily democratic great
nations; to be thus in a position to
play the part of important friend in
times of peace to set an example of
minding our own business, of toiling
not for foreign markets, but for con-
ditions at home in which every inhabi-
tant of our land shall have proper
education, proper food, clothing and
shelter-to be, as Washington so
splendidly bade us, the exemplars of
justice and peace-these are our
ideals.
1t is unfortunate that they are too
lofty for so many of our public men.
1t is fortunate that they are not too
lofty for the great mass OF Americans,
lovers of peace and justice.

Bill NNe's Habits.

Tall, slim and bald. Bill Nye was
cut out by nature to amuse people,
and he did amuse, even though his
humor was of simple and homely
kind. The Denver Times recalls his
reply to correspondent who inquir-
ed about Bills habits of work and
life. 1t was as follows:
When the weather is such that
cannot exercise in the open air,
have a pair of dumb-bells at my lodg-
ings. which I use for holding the
door open. / also belong to an ath-
letic club and pair of Indian clubs
with red handles. l owe much of
my robust health to this.

\ NOBLE CALLING.

The teacher is excluded from the
ranks of the army that marches to
the tune of clinking gold. But we
find recompense in the teachers pro-
fession that outweighs all the recon-
pense OF other and more material
characters. Teachers work with the
raw material which is to be made
over into dignified and self-dependent
humanity The true teacher should
find the greatest compensation in the
realization of a work well done, says
Rabbi Emil Hirsch of Chicago.
The true teacher must remember
that in becoming a teacher she must
consecrate herself to her work. Most
have forgotten this. There is a
scramble for salary. and often the
term salary has been regarded as
too dignified and the word wage
has been substituted, as n the teacher
were a hired man. Perhaps the teach

minimum should be raised, but if the
circumstances are such that it cann9t
be, the teachers should be willing to
make the sacrifice and not band to-
gether for salary, and that alone.
The great Teacher of the Christians
received no pay and made a great
sacrifice. Teaching is a divine profess
sion Its value to civilization and to
humanity cannot be measured by the
banking house standards.
The true teacher must to a certain
extent efface herself The true
teacher must be a servant to others.
The true teacher never has asked
What is the school to me?' but she
has asked and should ask, What am
/ to the SCHOOL," The teachers mus
be proud Of their profession and glad
to enter it and must find their return
not in what the schools give them, but
in what they give to the schools. The
schools are not for the teachers, but
for the children.
The teachers belong to the children

Chinese school teachers do not
strengthen the brains of children with
algebra and calculus, but stuff them

the following incidents, which prove
that the Chinaman has good uncon-

PARENTAL FOLLY.

The fact that so many of our chill
dren of school age are not getting a
full common school education is a
serious matter: far more serious than
the size of our navy or the Panama
canal or even the wordy campaigns of
our trust busters. But it/is not so
serious as it would be, were the school
the only or even the chief source of
education nowadays says George Hor-
ace Lorimer
Like all large words, education is at
once full and empty of meaning. And
lamentaby, often it is as near to a
perfect vacuum as the efforts Of men
can induce Nature to tolerate. The
very air we-both young and old
breathe nowadays is surcharged with
the materials of education. And,
whether we go to school or not We
absorb and assimllate at an early age
more valuable knowledge than the
most learned could acquire 100 years
ago. The function of the school, high
and low, is to teach, as it were, the
mind to breathe properly, to draw in
the right materials and to assimilate
them thoroughly. And unless our
children-whose parents are ignorant
or, worse still, chock full of silly pre-
judices-go to school, they are more
liable to grow up with what they alb
sorb doing them a minimum of good
and much harm.

GOVERNOR FOLK.

The following editorial is from the
Oregonian and is a splendid tribute to
one of the cleanest and ablest officials
now before the public.
Governor Folk is interesting for his
great office apart from his personal
qualities: but he belongs to group
Of men. some of them republicans like
Roosevelt and La Toilette, some dem
ocrats like Folk and Jerome, who are
greater than any office by virtue of
high ability, inflexible integrity and
transcendent courage.
Men like Roosevelt, Folk and La
Toilette, have conferred new meaning
and dignity upon the office of COVER
nor. Before their time it was too Of
ten a sort of stable where broken-down
party war horses could luxuriate upon
the proceeds of graft; or, perhaps, a
grotto, retired and shady, where the
bosses, railroad rings and street car
magnates kept some imbecile creature
to go through the form Of approving
statutes which they had forced de-
generate legislatures to enact. Thanks
to Mr.. Folk and men like him that all
this is changed, or changing. In the
commonwealths of Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Illinois and Missouri, to name
only a few where the new spirit Is ac-
tive, the governor is the predominant
character in politics and civic life.
Realizing the power OF factlona

groups, whether honest or dishonest,
and realizing at the same time how
easy it is for party leaders under the
control Of such groups to blindfold,
cajoled and mislead the party masses
is it any wonder that men aspiring to
official careers should be eager to
serve rather than offend them? Sue
cess is easy and certain in proportion
as their servility is abject.
Nevertheless any public official who
determines to administer his office as
his oath requires, in the interest of the
people must bring upon himself the
enmity Of some or all Of these selfish
factions. For their very breath of life
is class legislation, unjust laws and
unequal enforcement or non-enforce-
ment of unjust laws. The average Of
ficiaI therefore sacrifices his con-
science, his manhood, his oath of Of
flee and the public welfare; he serves
iniquitous factions. or becomes a SER
want of their servants, the party bosses
safe. quiet and infamous" he crawls
on his belly to success and what he
calls honor. 1t is because a maxim
among experienced politicians, and
they teach It as ripe fruitage of their
wisdom to the young, Have nothing
to do with reform" For reform
means danger.
Imagine then the courage of man
like Folk who, after taking office as
the gift of time-serving, treacherous
law -despising and apparently all
powerful bosses turns upon them and
declares relentless war against the
bosses and their masters. Who in deep
and resolute earnest sets out to serve
the public and equally enforce all the
laws? Such a man needs not courage
alone. but an absolutely flawless rec
ord If he has ever committed a sin
that sin will ruin him. Given such a
man as utter confidence in the abid-
ing rectitude of the people and the
power of speech which can make them
hear and understand. Given such a
man as Folk with perfect courage and
high intention. If he can make the
people hear and understand him he is
safe. He may then stir up the hor-
nets nests of faction as much as he
pleases; they may sting but they can
not ruin him. He may defy the bosses
and prosecute the thieves. He may
exile the lobby from its hunting
ground and rout the gamblers from
the race tracks. He may admonish
grating legislators and veto their
dearest strikes" He is above con-
ventions. he transcends parties. The
man of the people, the true patriot,
friend. regenerator and savior of his
state. the record of his deeds is his
worthiest praise.

Quarantine receipts last week were
A, 900 head short of the same week last
year and 5000 less than the previous
week. Supply today, 81 cars is light
for Monday. Prices for quarantines
have been independent of the market
on natives, owing to the relatively
small number offered and the strong
demand. Steers are a shade higher

The stocker and feeder demand in
the native di, ision is not as brisk as
it was week ago, on account OF the
decline in fat cattle prices in the last
week. However, there is a very large
demand for stock and feeding cattle
yet remaining to be filed, and COM
mission men are advising their GUS
TONERS to buy now, rather than take
chances later. OF course, If the mar
ket for country grades improves it will
benefit all classes more or less.

little higher; top s.. As; bulk Of sales,
S.. 30 to s5 As, medium and heavy hogs
selling highest; light hogs up to $3.50;
pigs, s4.5O to S475.
Heavy marketing OF sheep and lambs
at all points depressed prices 25 to 80
cents last week most on lambs. Country
buyers are securing quite a good deal
