MARKET IS LIfELESS
 WITH FEW BUYERS
GRAF WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE STOCKS DROP TO
 STILL LOWER PRICES.
lsy Frank J. Grail

Bisbee. March 1i.-The market to- day was practically iifeless one, with Bo buyers in the market and couSid- erable stock offered. This was in evi- dence when Calumet & Pittsburg was offered for sale at $29.75, when bid of s29 would have brought out con siderable. but soock at these tempt ing prices failed to get buyer. The same can be said of Junction. being offered at $25.75 at the close, and sales were made at s25.25 to s25.s0. American and Warren continue to be in favor, the former being sought after at $1f, while the latter is in good demand at S15. Denn also fell of con siderably; the very best firm that was sbtainable as si9, while there was con siderable being offered at s2o. The market is slow and would not be sur prised to see it still lower.

Lorton has expressed great indigna-

Allowing for all extra expenses, TIE
income of the dodger for that day
should have been the best in it's his

the next day were just as large. 1t
would seem, therefore, that Editor

OBSCURE HISTORY.

Oliver Goldsmith, an Irish poet who
wore collar that looked as though
it had been turned down with a pillow,
began a history with the declaration
that it was fortunate that the begin
nings of history, which were so diff
ficult to get at, were the very parts
that people cared nothing about.
If Oliver had been right about this
it would have been happy thing for
historians, but unhappily he was
wrong. The portions of their history
which are obscure are just the parts
that people delight in digging up and
talking about How else do you ac-
count for the fact that the first five
paragraphs of Russell A. Ayers auto
ing the low wages he received in
1794-5-6? He takes pains to recall
that in those years he received only
81 a month. In the first half of the
seventeenth century Andrew Carnegie
puddled in a foundry for 18 cents a
day. John Wanamaker turned bricks
for cents day in colonial times.
Why do these men flaunt the fact
that these men were such poor provid-
ers for their families in their early
days? They do it because they know
the world wants to know about the
crooked things in their lives. They

THE RETORT COURTEOUS.

Senator Clapp last week intimated
inoffensively that Senator Tillman
had stated the thing as it was not.
There are various ways of calling
man liar, but they are all ''unparlia
mentary." The British legislative
body has struggled with this inhibition
for centuries. How can a statesman
intimate that a fellow member has
said the thing which is not, and still
be within the rules? Even opposed to
fact" and "subterfuge" have received
the speakers interdict. But Henry
Grattan, the Irish orator, once con-
viewed the idea in a careful way. He
said, significantly, on memorable
occasion Il will not call the gentle
man a liar-for that would be un-
parliamentary" The gentleman was
indignant, however, and Grattan had
to fight a duel With him.
Ben Franklin had so diplomatic a
wey of calling a man liar that the
person so designated felt highly COM
plimented. But old Ben had made a
deep and lifelong study of the fine
art of being one of those statesmen in
the mouth of whom butter would
melt. Ben tells in his autobiography
how he went about it.
Up to the present time Ben Frank
lin holds the palm, but we suspend

The little evening dodger says that
the Statesman of last Thursday even
ing after rushing into print with the
story of an earthquake shock at Los
Angeles did not have enterprise
enough to get out a later edition de-
nying the story. The story as pub
lished in the regular four o'clock edi-
ton of the Statesman was authentic
and there was nothing to deny. 1t
stated that the shock was so severe
that it rocked the telegraph office and
communication was Immediately af
forwards shut off. That was true
But the dodger in order to score a big
SCOOP recast the Statesman story so
as to make it appear as coming from
the war department, and then an
nounced in a scare head, taking up
nearly all of it's front page, that Los
Angeles had been entirely wiped out.
There was nothing in the wording of
its own alleged dispatch that justified
such a heading No other Associated
Press paper published the dispatch
which the dodger claims 1t received.
In its regular edition the dodger
published all the Geographic dis
patches received during the day and
published in it's extras. Any fair
minded man who will compare the
regular edition of the Statesman with
the regular edition of the dodger will
be forced to admit that the report of
the San Francisco horror furnished the
Statesman by the Scripps News Asso-
citation was much more full and COM
plete than the disconnected pony re-
port sent to the dodger by the Asso-
ciated Press. Moreover. the Statesman
did not find it necessary to double the
size of its type in order TO make its
report make a creditable appearance.
That is just what the dodger did.

WHY THESE TEARS?

ducts the little evening dOdger. went
after the smooth headed" editor of
the Statesman last Saturday evening
in a way intended to remove the few
remaining hairs on the offending head.
With his usual hot-headed haste in
jumping to conclusions without weigh
ing what passes with him for evidence,
Editor Lorton accuses the editor of
the Statesman of having written the
editorial in the morning Union of last
Saturday under the heading. "Sensa-

Any expert in English style who will
compare the two editorials will see at
a glance that there is no similarity be-
tween them. In the Unions editorial
are sentences from sixteen to eighteen
lines long. No such construction will
be found in the Statesmans editorial
The trouble with Lorton is that he
takes himself too seriously He seems
TO think that the thirteen editions of
his dodger gotten out to celebrate the
receipt of thirteen separate one-line
bulletins by wire should have created
a greater sensation in Walla Wana

described. To add to the sensation

GERMANY IS DISPLEASED.

Die Post, the mouthpiece of the
German foreign office, says:
TT is intolerable that America
should be allowed to sit alongside the
European nations at the Moroccan and
The Hague conferences while shutting
out Europe from the meeting at Rio
Janeiro."
Further than this, Die Post urgently
insists that Germany should send a
special diplomatic representative to
the Pan-American conference "for the
purpose of watching and, if possible,
thwarting North American intrigues."
This is referred to Secretary Root
for consideration. There is an annoy
ing consistency about the argument.

EVOLUTION OF TROUSERS.

Mrs Ruge, of Chicago, an authority

sticking his legs through, came out in
incipient trousers AS time went on

to these holes and 10, trousers were

LOSING SIGHT OF THE TARGET

LOSING SIGHT OF THE TARGET.
1t our modern education hitting the
mark?
raised, with more or less valid criti-
cisms against the purpose and method
of public school and college work. In
the field of technical training or 'vo-
cational' education, there is no ques-
ton about the efficacy of modern
methods. The professional and tech
nical schools of the United States are
the best equipped and most effective
in the world, and the success Of their
graduates attests the soundness of
their methods. ,s
All education, however, does not aim
at given callings. After the elemen-
tary knowledge of the primary and
grammar schools comes broader study
to awaken the taste of pupils, to teach
them to appreciate the best things.
This "cultural' education u.s. or should
be, the main feature Of high school
and college work. The question up
permost is. do our educators plan and
give cultural courses with culture as
their end and aim, or do they lay too
much stress on the letter which killeth,
and smother the spirit which maketh
alive?
A strong arraignment of current
courses and textbooks is made by
Willard Giles Parsons in the Atlantic.
He declares that educators have lost
sight entirely of the aim of cultural
courses. and do not teach them in
Subjects such as English literature
and Latin are taught by scientific"
students. Instead of waking to love
of Shakespeare by class reading and
Illuminating explanation, they read
little Shakespeare and spend a great
deal of time examining with dry facts,
which kill their appreciation of great
literature. They are ashamed not to
like Shakespeare, but cannot be ex-
pected to like him presented in such
way
The trouble, as analysed by Mr.. Par
sons lies in the fact that courses in all
subjects have been made vocational.
Latin and literature, when taught to
teachers, should be taught by the vo-
cational method. This form of teach
ing has been forced down into the
high schools and, in the case of gram
mar, even into the grades. Subjects
which should be made interesting and
should be taught for the sole purpose
of awakening the pupils appreciation,
are taught as to a specialist. The I'M
formed minds are prejudiced in ad-
vance against the best things in lit
erature, fed on doses of Milton and
Chaucer. when they should be led up
wards through the destinations of
Stevenson or Defoe. Other topics are
handled in the same pedantic fashion.
There are some teachers whose in
stinct leads them away from textbooks
to make the personal appeal, but they
are cramped and confined by machine
like supervision. They should multi
ply and grow strong. If culture is the
aim of most branches of high school
and college study. that aim should
be consistently followed. IT, like
Gradgrind, we want nothing but
facts" then let cultural subjects be
dropped altogether.
