BILE discovery of a sin long suspected
but never adequately diagnosed, to wit
mental malpractice" If the ability to
make a clever characterization is a
symptom of a sound mind Mrs. Eddy
will surely come through the examina-
lions of the alienists with flying col
ors. For her phrase mental malprac-
tice," originally used in a narrow sense
with reference to the Vaccinations of
some Boston rivals. is not only an ex-
ceedingly apt designation for the ways
of sundry faith hea1ers, but also an ex
eellent general term suitable to cover
all sins of opinion, doctrine and propa-
ganda appearing in science, politics
and the lesser arts. We hope an in
tuitive public will accept the phrase in
its wider connotation; its free use
should simplify greatly the work of the
critic, the attorney and the judge, as
we'll as clarity popular opinion on
numerous long obfuscated topics.

4 PRETTY FREE COUNTRY.

That this is still pretty free country
is indicated by the fact that the stat
utes of the United States make no pro-
vision for he punishment of persons
who may attempt to gain information
of possible value to some country I'M
friendly to the United States if such
action Is taken in time Of peace The
recent questions arising between this
country and Japan were productive of
numerous "spy" stories, and naturally
the good people of the Pacific coast
are DESTROYS of knowing just what con-
stitutes a spy" what punishment is
melted out to the culprit, and possibly,
among other questions, what reward
might accrue to any one capturing such
an Individual. Many letters along these
lines have recently reached the office
of the judge advocate general of the
army. There is, it appears, nothing
| to prevent persons visiting army posts
and Notifications, within certain limit
atoms, and unless some overt act is
committed there could be no interior
ence on the part of the officers in
charge. If a person were found MAX
ing sketches or plans at an army post
he would be requested to leave the res
ervation and the drawings would, more
than likely, be taken and destroyed

However. as far as the authority con-
ferred by the laws of this country is
concerned. he might call the next day
and spend his spare time there if ne
gave no further cause for suspicion.
Perhaps spies in time of peace get
tie information in any country that
they and their governments want, but
until The Hague conference succeeds
in bringing about better state of
things it might be well enough for the
United States to be a little more severe
with spies.

SOME HEAR7H coMP1rM EMS.

We of the United States don't see
ourselves exactly as some others see
us, and perhaps it is well we don't. If
we saw ourselves as the London Acad-
envy sees us we might be discour-
aged The Academy calls us "the
United States of Gchenna," and our
history is described as "a shameful
record Of a people who have deliber-
ately, rejoicingly, boastfully prostitut-
ed themselves to the devil, and call
upon the world to admire the results. Z"
Our social system is vile and rotten,
our literature is miserable trash, our
politicians are scoundrels, our legisla-
tors venal tools Of a criminal plutocra-
cy, our religious movements horrible
impostures, our commerce is another
name for wholesale addlteration and
dishonesty In short, we are an
"abominable and detestable nation" a
nation that has given nothing to the
world except peonage, child slavery,
lynching, Thaw trials, franchise
scandals and creed of hell and
death"
That's about all, except that the
Academy asks how long the United
States will be suffered to endure. we
do not really know, but perhaps as
long as the London Academy en-
dures.

Of the Moroccan business. is likely to
demonstrate that France is fortunate
in her ruler at this time. He is not
yielding in the least, apparently, to the
lingo cry of the boulevards and oppo-
sition newspapers to march on Fee and
conquer the entire country, as the Eng
lish conquered Egypt twenty-five years
ago. Clemenceau realizes how great
a drain such a campaign would involve.
His military advisers are probably con-
sentative in saying that the conquest
of Morocco would require an army of
100000 men, and it might be added that
the French would need more time than
one campaign. England did not thor
oughly subdue Egypt until Kitchener S
omdurman campaign, which took place
fifteen years after the bombardment of
Alexandria by the British fleet All
that France is now required to do is to
protect the coast towns from anarchy.
If there Is to be conquest of Moroc-
co, all the European powers should be
required to help pay the bills.

The commerce in dates, which are
produced especially in Arabia, Tunisia
land Morocco, is more considerable
than is generally thought, and it is
growing every year. In 1906, for in
stance, from the port of Marseilles,
which receives the bulk OF the date
production of Mesopotamia, 100000
crates We're shipped to America. Each
crate weighed sixty pounds net, maxi
ling 5000 tons which have been alb
lsorbed in the different ports of the
United States. The principal center Of
this particular trade is at Bassorah, in
the Bagdad province of Asiatic Tur-
key. From that city on the Euphrates
River in 1906 were forwarded 2,200,-
goo crates, or $4,000 tons. The plant
ers Of date palms are constantly en-
larging the acreage Of cultivation, and
they cannot satisfy the demands OF
the buyers. most Of whom are mer-
chants of London, which controls the
product and sells it to America and
European countries. Marseilles is in
active competition with London fol
that article, and its importation Of
dates has more than doubled in the
| last four years.

Peanut meal has been for long
time staple article in the dietary of
the poor classes in Spain. Bread made
from pure peanut meal is light and
porous, but it is said to be unpalatable
because of persistent. poppy-like
taste. Rye bread containing twenty
five per cent. of peanut meal can not
be distinguished from ordinary rye
bread, While far more nutritious.
Skim-mi1k cheese is the only ordinary
article of diet comparable to peanut

The voters of the proposed new
State of Oklahoma, last week vot-
ed in favor of the adoption of the
constitution presented for their APP
proyal and also for the prohibition
of the sale of liquor. At the same
time they elected Democratic
Governor of the new State. The
matter of recognizing the new
State is now up to President Rocs-
evelt. There ought TO be, how
ever, no question about his action.
1t is known that he does not APP
prove certain provisions In the
constitution approved by the peo-
pie, but that fact alone would not
justify him in declining to pro-
claim the admission of the new
State into the Union.

Dollar wheat.

The farmers have much to be
thankful for this year. Their gram
crops have not only been large
but they are bringing good prices
prices that ale higher than those
which have ruled for some time.
Wheat is being sold in this vicinity
at 90 cents per bnshel. One year
ago the farmers received 70 cents
for the same quality Of grain.
The inciease in, price of 20 cents
a bushel, at this early portion of
the selling season, is matter of
congratulation on the part of all
the farmers. Last year the higl
est price paid was 93 cents, or only
one cent mole than today's price.
The Indications, based on the
markets heretofore, are that The
price will 20 up to a dollar and, it
may be, even higher.
Along with the higher prices for
wheat, the farmers have very lar Q
potato crops and the corn yle d
will be very heavy. Those who
have fruit are receiving good pr'-
ces Tor i and the year, all in all,
has been very good tor them.

Why Pa Was Mad.

Farmer Jones, after eating a
hearty dinner, stepped out on his
porch to enjoy smoke, when he
noticed IN front of the house,
which was on the main road, an
overturned load of hay, and be-.
side it small boy, seemingly in
great perplexlty. The farmer
went out and spoke to the boy.
swell, my boy, l see you have
had an accident, but never mind.
Turn your horses to the hay and
come IN and have some dinner. {"
81 can't" SAID the boy; "pa'll
be mad"
ooh, no, he won't. Come on. >
"Nope, I can't; pail be mad. ="
"Now, look here, sonny. You
didn't mean to upset that hay.
There's no harm done. Come
right along, and after you have
had something to eat, I'll help
you to load up again"
The boy consented, saying as
he looked back at the hay, "But
l just know pail be mad. "
After he had eaten and the
farmer had started back with
him to load up, the latter SAID,
"Now, dent you feel better ?"
Every much, sir, but pail be
mad. though"
"Why will your pa be mai ?"
Because he's under that load
of hay"
