Who is stopping here. Mr. Eliot says
the new style of SPELLING does not in
the least appeal to him 81 suppose
that President Roosevelt has right
to write his me sages In any style OF
orthography TO which he may incline. -
he remarked, but I think It will be
long time before such a sty,e as that
proposed becomes very popular or
takes a great hold upon the public.
Il do not myself care for II, and
it is my opinion that the same view
is held by the majority OF leading edu-
Gators. There are some distinguished
men, such as President Butler. OF Co
iumbla. who have long favored IL. but
do not see that their work has
brought much of accomplishment
THE English will hardy adopt this
new system, he said. ut will mean
that not only the publishers would be
obliged to make two sets of plates,
but that all the present plates of
standard and popular works would be
rendered incorrect and without value
II would be found that the public viii
not like the looks OF thru and tho

MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO
RECEIVE"


II ITHER bv chance or provdentially few
IL days ago we entered the business office of
THE JOURNAL. just behind a dear little elderly
woman She handed over the counter clipping
from newspaper on vaccination and which will
be found in another column. With the article
she rendered two-doar bill, which she took
from an old pocketbook she carried in a small
cheap market basket, and tiniidly asked II It
would pay the cost of re-printing the article II
il would not she said we could print as much OF
il as the two dollars would pay for unless we
would trust her to pay the balance OF the cost as
soon as She could earn it. We read the article and
seeing it was intended to benefit others and not
herself and with feeling of pleasure, which the
order and payment of full page advertisement
could not equal, placed back in her frail little
hand the money, thanked her for bringing us the
article and assured her it would be published in
day or two She was most reluctant to take the
money, but we tried to make her feel we had no
use for it. Her pinched little face for moment
elowed with gratitude, and then she passed out
into the street to continue those mercies to her
fellow creatures and dumb animals for which she
is so we'll known.
sr-e-More by what She does than by name is she
known Whenever and wherever she sees poor
horses head held high in the air in an unnatural
position she goes bravely up and loosens the
cruel overdraw check strap. In the street no
loose stone, brick or brickbat, piece OF glass or
up-turned nail upon which horse could step,
escapes her sharp little eyes, and picking them
up she places them where they can do no harm.
In relieving the suffering high-checked horses
she has at times been lashed by the horses brute
driver. In the sight of Him in whose name she
performs her mercies to His dumb creatures it
would be better for these soulless men to kiss the
hem OF her skirts rather than scourge her with
whip We have often thought if there is horse
heaven and there is book in which horses can
record the names Of those who have on earth
been kind and meroful to them, the top of
the list will be found the name of Emily Webb.
And who can doubt that those who have shown
cies to His dumb animals will find favor with
the Master of us all?

The Congressional campaign must

that being SO, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be a central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.

TO FoRsAKE THE PLow.

w Z doubt very much il the suggestion made
w few days ago by the editor of Every
Evening for the Democratic party to discard its
present and long-used emblem OF the plow for
that Of a growing rooster will meet with great
favor. especially among the rural Democrats
Surely there can be no disadvantage to any
party in using such well-known and highly-re-
spected farming implement as pow for party
emblem. There can be no prejudice against that
most useful and oldest OF all agricultural imple-
ments. Nor can it be considered an omen OF ill
luck.
1t is symbolic of industry; progress, regenera-
ton and results. 1t suggests turning over and
preparing the civic ground for new crops and
better things It's use is a tribute of honor and
respect to those who till the soil for the susie
nance the residents of towns and cities must have.
We are loath to see the plow disappear from the
ballot. It's reputation would surely be resented
by the farmers AS for the rooster as a party or
camapign emblem it appears to us to be most
inappropriate. 1t suggests exultation after
victory For party to be growing before con-
test has taken place and been decided is no less
ridiculous than would be a hen cackling before
she had laid the egg Growing, like laughing, too
soon can in no way help to accomplish Vesired
result, but frequently adds TO the modification
after defeat Our suggestion is to let the rooster
alone. Don't make him and the party both RI
diculous by making him crow before the battle.
Let him be free TO follow his own instincts-to
wait until the contest is over and then iump un
On the banner OF the victorious party and crow
and crow until he can crow no more.

TOM WATSON SAFE.

THE HON. TON" WATSON, of Populistic
and Democratic fame, is not to be lost TO
the country atom" is back in dear old Georgia
which is at present in the throes of warm po-
tical contest. Tom is taking part, and as usual
is against forces OF "greed and monopoly But
the Hon. "Tom" has been in row with some
other politician, Captain Barnes, who is de-
scribed as the Republican boss Of that State. A.
Republican leader in Georgia during this sum-
mer, even in the midst Of campaign, we should
fancy would not have very much to do except,
perhaps eat Elberta and Belle peaches.
But Captain Barnes has challenged Watson to
a duel The nature Of the weapons is not mem
toned. The friends of the radiant Watson in
other parts of the country are thoroughly
alarmed.
They fear that Watson may accept the chal-
enge and thus imper his life. So kilograms Of
protest have been descending upon the whilom
Populist leader He is prompt in his answer and
responds that he has no idea Of furnishing the
bood-thrsty Barnes with an opportunity or an
excuse to murder him. The country cannot af-
ford to lose the Hon. tom" and his friends, no
doubt are relieved by the announcement that he
will not become a target. Another victory is
thereby gained for civilization in dear old
Georgia.
