Il WORD FOR US.

fcDonald of the Ranger
"a faithful officer as has bee;!
I'D many times. He has on
bore than one occasion risked his
sife for the sake of duty. In the re-
cent conflict between federal and
state authorities at Brownsville,
armed with the proper authority
from his state, those negro muir
derers i'll federal uniform would
not have been illegally removed
from the jurisdiction of the district
court of Cameron County, except
over the dead body of the doughty
ranger. A man willing to give up
his life for the right IS entitled to
be heard. The Captain it seems,
had to come a long way from
Brownsville to get a hearing. He
told his story in language that can
not be misunderstood. 1t divulges
the fact that the murder and at
tempted murder of unarmed, un-
warned and unofensive citizens by
negroes i'll federal uniform and
condoned by black officer in white
skin, was not the only outrage
committed upon justice down there
at that time. -Beeville Bee.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How Lazy sckooisoys Are Punished In
Tibet.


Tibet.
The queerest punishment for poor
scholars IS found in Tibet. \ priest
dressed in the most gorgeous robes
of yellow silk, with his inter on his
head, viii hear two boys recite. He
questions them graYely. One recites
pretty well. The other one has been
lazy and not studied enough. Woe
unto him! The master makes him
get upon his hands and knees, a
cloth is thrown on his back-he is
now supposed to be a horse.
The good boy gets upon his back.
The horse is spurred and kicked and
eufed and galloped around the
room until he IS driven back to the
teacher. The good boy then dis
mounts and the questions begin
anew.
These little folks in Tibet have
the queerest sort of manners as well
as punishments. When one meets
another, instead of greeting him
with some words equivalent to our
good morning" the Tibetan young
ster runs out his tongue in "a fash
ion which We would consider very
rude. If he wishes to be overpolite
he viii uncover his head and scratch
his right ear at the same instant.

Worthy Russians in Want,

The future historian of the Russian
revolution will find the advertising
columns of the St. Petersburg or Mos
COW newspapers in 1906 rich source
of information as to actual social con-
ditfons. Thus the daughter of a noble
man advertises that: Robbers have
killed my parents and stolen every
thing. 1 am an honest girl; will not
some rich family adopt me or let me
do household work or nursing?" Many
want" advertisements begin: 81 come
from the starving province" The APP
peals for immediate aid are incessant:
Il have expended my last penny for
this advertisement" begins one an
nouncement, which makes one wish
that there were a ST Petersburg Char
ity Organization society to respond
That many others of a similar char
acter come from respectable women
genuinely in need OF immediate aid is
vouched for by a German observer.
The terrible crisis Of the last year or
two has evidently reduced many
worthy men and women to absolute
want and despair

A Worldwide Conquest.

Not only the English language, but
our alphabet, seems to be destined to
become the prevailing one of the
world. In all likelihood the Japanese
will soon legally establish our alpha
bet for the empire. The government
has had in mind for some time the
substitution of the Latin alphabet for
the clumsy and uncertain Chinese
characters which have been in use
since time immemorial, but without
waiting for government sanction, lead
i.g men in the empire have been
pushing forward a movement for this
substitution which is taking a deep
hold upon the people The Latin al
phabet which we and most of the Eu-
ropean nations use is in reality an
Irish alphabet, says the National Trib-
une. It is based upon the writing of
the Irish monks in the early centuries,
and which was 50 clear and beautiful
that it rapidly gained popularity over
the grabbed and laborious characters
used by the monks in other countries
in the transcription of manuscripts. 1t
will be greatly to the advantage of
the world to adopt this Irish-Latin al
phabet and make it universal, and at
the same time giving every letter
certain and Interchangeable value.

Why do the newspapers, for example,
show only the darkest side of life
the sins and crimes and sensational
events2 The pessimistic view of life
always reminds me of the story of a
boy from country town, who was
brought to New York by his father on
his first visit He had heard much
of Broadway, and his father took him
to see the street, its buildings, shops,
and crowds passing along the side
walks
well, what do you think of it?'
asked the father when the trip had
ended.
THE boy was clearly disappointed
All the people are lame he replied
Some questioning was required to
find out exactly what the boy meant
1t appeared that there was a lame
man in the village where the boy had
lived all his life The boy remem-
bered him distinctly, he was so
strange SO different from the Others
As he walked along Broadway he saw
a dozen lame men, He remembered
them rather than the hundreds of pee
pie who were sound So it Is with
our pessimists- They can see only
the lame men,

Felix Adler, professor of political
and social ethics at Columbia univer-
sity, expressed the opinion that the
responsibility for divorces lay not
with the lack of instruction of those
contracting marriage, but in the view
Of parents that marriage is a means
to obtain felicity and comfort, rather
than an institution having for one of
it's important objects the preservation
of society
''Mr- Mitchell has SKINNED a sub
ject," said Prof. Adler, which, to be
thoroughly discussed, would require
all the reflection of work on philoso-
ply. l should be inclined to go beyond
the people in the divorce courts and
beyond the neglect of the parents to
inform their children regarding the
duties and obligations of marriage,
and to say the blame lay in the alb
sence of thought and mature consid-
Grafton of the marriage relation in the
parents themselves
Marriage should not be considered.
as is sometimes the case, merely for
the felicity and comfort which the re-
lation affords. Marriage is an insti-
tuition for the perpetuation of the best

coadiutor of the diocese of New
York, when told OF Mr. Mitchell's
views on the divorce question, said
that in his opinion the prevalence of
divorce was not due to the indiffer-
ence of parents or the lack of instruc-
ton to those about to marry, but was
manifestation of the moral ire
sponsibility of the day.
81 doubt If the lesson Mr. Mitchell
outlines can be taught in the way he
has chosen" Bishop Greer said Il
am not even certain that it does young
people any good to teach them all THAI
married life means-its sufferings and
sacrifices. They know well enough
what marriage is when they get
into it.
THE problem of divorce seems to
lie deeper than that 1t rests in the
lack of moral responsibility among
our people With the class we are
discussing, morals are a question of
convention The desire to be con-
sidered moral is sometimes based on
a wish to be thought respectable. or
on some similar ambition or motive.
Such conventions always depend on
public opinion, and public opinion is
as variable as a weather-cock.
1.-THE attitude toward marriage and
divorce, which we are discussing, is
a sign of the day, of lives based on
the habit of living for the hour or the
day-in a word, the attitude of ire
sponsibility. So far as morals are con-
cerned, the people seem to be drift
ing, to lack strong convictions Per
haps it may be traced to the modern
spirit of agnosticism. 1t is one mani
festation of many of this spirit in
modern life"
"Such as corruption in political or
moral life?" suggested the reporter
1.-THE spirit makes itself felt in
many ways Bishop Greer replied
ct is frequently seen in the tendency
to let well enough alone, and to &C
cept life as it is
Moral responsibility.
t.Then this moral responsibility is
disease?''
Yes, it is a disease; malignant
disease that should be cut OUT
What is the remedy for this dis
ease, so far as it concerns divorce?"
There must be some remedy"
Bishop Greer replied, after a moment
of thoughtful silence. THE law can
help, the church can help, and the
newspapers can help. 1t is all a mat
| ter of public opinion, of making peo-
pie realize their responsibilities.

Tea on the Down Grade.

Tea drinkers are finding scant en-
couragement in report recently
made by a large tea exporting house
in Yokohama to its American Gus
toners. Incidentally it indicates that
the United States is not alone in fac
ing increased cost of living The re-
port says: Owing to the rapidly in
creasing cost of living in Japan labor
costs more, and in consequence cul-
tivation of the tea gardens is less
generous and extensive than formerly,
and less care and skill are expended
in picking and curing the leaf Hence
the average quality of the teas now
offered for sale is below that of sea-
sons prior to the war, and for the
same reasons we are not likely in the
future to see any reversion to the
excellence of former years."-New

Children in Bio Cities

The family living outside of the lar
ger cities can thank its stars for one
thing, and that is that its children
are not made reproach to it, In
New York, says the Montreal Herald,
there are plenty of apartment houses
where they Will not permit families
with children to rent an apartment at
any price; and there are others where
children while not excluded, are made
very unwe1come. But in the wide
country, children cannot be in the
way. The farm house is joyfully made
the bigger for their accommodation,
and the long days of winter are the
cheerier for their presence Their
mothers are not so wearied by rush
ing from bridge parties" to theaters,
and from receptions to balls, that
their nerves cannot endure the pratt
tie of the little folks; rather do they
take the keenest pleasure in their
merry company. The farm house
would be very empty without them;
the city fiat is crowded by their in
trusion- Then, too, the child is always
a financial burden to the city man, I'M
less he imprisons it in a factory or a
store, but, to the farmer, it is general
ly an asset as soon as it grows old
enough to take its share in the health
full labors of the farm.

odds superior to any European set
tier. He knews what is required to
bring success, and he is able and will

apprehension to the successful Cana

Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta
is not nearly so marked as that be-
tween the farmer of the Maritime
provinces and the Ontario tiller of the

settler from the Western States.
