THE BROWN DEMOCRATS.

BY the way, speaking of Supervisors
and things. an evening Twinkler says
it has been shouted from the house
tops, and not whispered, that Col. Tau
kea has the Supervisoral bee. A friend
of the Colonel denied the soft i'm
parchment yesterday altogether, but
let that pass. If 1t has been shouted
from the housetops, 1t must have been
shouted pretty high else the Twinkler
would have brought the thing squaw-
king down to earth. or does 1t catch
no political shout that is not shouted
from the Police Station?
An interesting meeting that was the

Torturing Witnesses.

The entire procedure of the New
York police authorities in the effort
to force the aged mother of wo-
man recently murdered in the sub
urbs to reveal her secrets is repug-
nant not only to the spirit of the
laws of the State, but to the whole
American people. The foundation OF
our criminal Jurisprudence is that a
suspect is supposed to be innocent
until proved guilty and that no one
shall be compelled to incriminate
himself.
In the case of Mrs. Stenton, whose
daughter was murdered at her own
door, the police for hours subjected
her to torture in order to make he1
say something that would reveal her
own completely or guilty knowledge
in the matter In other words, they
tried for hours by browbeating and
trickery to get the old woman to dc
the very thing which the law express
ly declares she must not be made to
do-that is, incriminate herself
Fortunately a trial court has power
to exclude evidence of guilt illegally
secured, but our laws should either
define the limits of torture or fix
the methods by which it shall be
applied Valley Cleaner

am aware that orderliness and
punctuality are not usually regarded
as forms of courage. But the essen
tial element of all courage is in
them-the power to face a disagree
able present in the interest of de-
sirable permanent ends. They are
far more important in modern life
than the courage to face bears or
bullets. They underlie the more
spectacular forms of courage. The
man who cannot reduce to order the
things that are lying passively about
him and endure the petty pains incl
dental to doing hard things before
the sheer lapse of time forces him
to action, is not the man who will
be calm and composed when angry
mobs are bowling about him, or
who will go steadily on his way when
greed and corruption, hypocrisy and
hate, are arrayed to resist him. For,
whether in the quiet of a study and
the routine of an office or in the
turmoil of a riot or strike, true
courage is the ready and steadfast
acceptance of whatever pains are in
cidental to secure the personal and
public ends that are at stake.-Presi-

The One object OF Education.

At one time when Elihu Root, our
present secretary of state, was prac-
Using law in New York City, he was
engaged in a case that involved the
question of aniline dyes. The sub
iect is one of the most difficult in
the entire realm of chemical science
and Mr.. Root knew nothing ABOUT
it whatever. But that made no ol1-
terence. For two weeks, day ana
night as it were, he studied tnat
subject until he had mastered it ana
he then when into the court room,
cross-uuestioned the experts and won
his case. How could he do it?
Simply because he had trained, dis
ciplined mind that was able to mas
ter any subject however difficult and
abstruse.
1t is the object of an education 10
enable boys and girls to do this very
thing. What is learned in the class
room is only fragment, beginning.
They are expected to be able to go
on and study by themselves and Tor
themselves. In the realm of litera-
ture the works studied are not sup
posed to give the scholar an accur-
ate knowledge of literature. They
are merely to cultivate the power OF
discrimination and the taste for the
best. 1t is of trifiing Importance
whether scholar knows concrete
poem such as Gray's "Elegy," it Is
of supreme Importance whether a
scholar knows the good from the bad
and has learned to love the good.
From this illustration we see the
true object of education. 1t is the
development of an individuality. il
is not to teach a child all that the
child will need to know, 1t is simply
to prepare the child for self develop
ment and individual initiative. What
the school can teach is only a trifie
but if the child has learned how to
study, how to think, and how tc
discriminate the education has been
a successful one. Unfortunately in
this very respect the system often
breaks down. = Baptist Common

The Age of Lead.


We are wont to speak of this era
as the "age of IRON" and there is no
gainsaying that, industrially speak
ing, iron is precious metal"
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, If not absolutely neces-
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal, lead. Soft, yielding
pliabIe, it is not much like its sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail
ties are what give it such prominent
place in the arts and industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
turnings and twistings, but withal
tight joints, would be almost impos-
sible without lead pipe. The great
est civilizing agent in the world-the
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type, linotype
"slugs," monotype type - all are
made of compositions of which lead
is the chief component--to say moth
ing of the bearings in the presses as
well as all other kinds of machinery
in which "babbitt" metal is used.
Solder is another lead product
what field of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use of all to which lead is put-paint,
that necessary material which keeps
our houses looking pretty - inside
and out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many of us thank metallic lead
for the comforts of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me-
talic lead corroded by acid to white
powder known as white lead" OF
course, there are many limitations OF
"white lead" some of which are sold
| as white lead and some which are
! offered by the name of ready-pre-
pared paint under the familiar pre-
| tense that they are "just as good as
white lead. But all good paint is
| made of the metal, lead, corroded and
ground to a fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead is also used in the coat
ing of fine oil cloths and for many
| purposes besides paint.
Red lead" is another product OF
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide Of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many other products of
the metal lead, such as litharge,
orange mineral, ETC., which are es-
sential to many of the arts in which
we never imagine that lead would be
Of the least use.
Verify, we live in an age of lead
az well as of iron.

"As The Romans Do"

Kentucky, when hunting and fishing

Preach? What, you preach
Kin you preach ez we'll ez you kin

The Small Farm.

Can a Small Farmer Liver" is
the title of an article by professor.
Of course, it depends on the farmer.
Probably the most successful farmer
in the world lives near Paris, and he
has a small tract of land, but every
acre produces more than is usually
raised on a great farm. The fact
is that the production of soil is quite
unlimited. Labor and brains and
science used in filling piece of
ground will make the yield beyond
apparent possibilities, as we now
look at it. The ground yields
beggarly pittance to what could be
raised from it. A small farm is a
fortune IL the very best is made
of the ground Wheat makes men
rich because they have boundless
acres to devote to it. That fact does
not warrant the claim that only great
farms pay. Small farms will make
them rich too, if they get from the
ground what it can yield. But it is
not so much the selection of crops
as the getting out of the soil the re-
sources that are in it. We heard a
man say one time he put $140 worth
of fertilizer in an acre of ground
aud got $1,000 worth of production
from it. 1t is the two things that
will make the small farm the gold
nine and the Eden of the future
the selection of the right product,
cod then making the soil do its best.
