Miss Emma Goldman, a so-called patron saint of

enthusiasm by those of her cult These lectures

fame for the moth it singes. Her real purpose
not disguised in the least for the salient points in
her lectures are SO sefevident that they can be dis
cerned by anyone, no matter how obtuse he may be.
It is we'll known that this dangerous woman is
against every form of law. Her present sollcitude
for the drama is merely shield to protect her from
the law while she is promulgating her obnoxious
theories In her blind fanaticism she would over
throw every institution that reflects present-day
civilization the law which today protects her

her services might be of some benefit. She would
be given welcome by her fellow terrorists and

In THE making of books little thought is taken
of the future; everything centers the Immediate
present. The main idea seems to be one of profit.
This is to be noticed in printing in binding and in
the quality of paper used. Even in the higher class
books which sell for fancy price de luxe editions
a cheap grade of paper is used. Dictionaries, law
books and encyclopedias made of such poor ma
teral that it is necessary to handle them with care
to avoid tearing leaf, to prevent the binding
from breaking. One would suppose that these
books, above all Others should contain good quail
ty of paper; but they do not the grade of paper
is bad as that on which cheap dime novels are
printed.
The cause of this runous state of affairs is COM
petition. "How much' and not 'how good" seems
to rule. The quicker book is read to pieces, the
sooner others will be needed, may be good rea-
sonng from sellers point of view; but such logic
is not satisfactory to the who collecting books
The cheap trash that is being turned out today by
most concerns will not last very long, and when they
are in constant in public libraries they become
unfit for circulation in an exceedingly short time.

SeZf-DeceDtiON.


AS ONE travels along the highway of life he
meets many peculiar and interesting characters. Per-
haps on his journey he will meet no one more de-
graded or more treacherous than the lngrate-the
man who repays an act of generosity by betrayal
of trust by robbing his benefactor, by defaming
the reputation of the one who helped to make him
successful Such persons must hate themselves, for
they must know that they actually despised by
others.
The migrate is often the victim Of his own folly.
His deeds of deception furnish his childish mind
with amusing employment If he could only under
stand that his not in accord with the views
of others, he might act different It is we'll known
that the migrate is all pretenson; he shows friend
ship only to mock ones confidence; he fatters ones
generosity only to speak disparagngly of the motives
which prompted the deed; he discern evil where
others see nothing but kindness; and he always
distorts the truth to suit his own aims. When the
migrate realizes that the greatest dupe is he who
dupes himself he might come to the conclusion that
his schemes all farce, losing proposition.

The Circuit Court of Boon County, Indiana re-.
Gently rendered decision that has caused the tenn.

If this decision is sustained by the Supreme

hoary institution should be relegated to oblivion.

Meaning of "Physics."

From the London Chronicle.
 Sir Frederick Treve's vision of good time coming when physic will be thrown to the dogs will startle the great host of medicine lovers, which Is still growing strong One of the most curious signs of the popularity of "physic' Is the specl- alization of the word in popular speech to the sense of pills and doses. Liter ally it means only natural" and the '.physics" of ancient Greece were natural philosophers. Later however. the name was taken by sorcerers. who pretended to special knowledge of the powers of nature. and finally came the modern world s physician" and "physic." This special sense has taken so strong a hold on the popuIar mind that the mistake of the val etudinarian who thought Bagehot' s ''Physics and Politics" as a work on the law of patent medicines. was intelli- gible enough.

BRITAIN KEENLY REGRETS
UNFORTUNATE FRICTION

London, Jan 20.--There is feeling
of deepest regret here over the un-
fortunate incident that led to the hur-
ried departure of the American war
ship from Kingston.
Being Sunday and the news arrived
late tonight, the fact became known
to a comparatively small section OF
the public and the official world, but
everywhere the greatest astonishment
was expressed
Neither the admiralty nor the for
eign office had am news Of the Incl
dent except that derived from the
press dispatches and the inclination
on al sides was to Withhold an ex-
preston Of official opinion until hear

ing from the governor Meantime the
Kingston dispatches giving the corre-
spondence exchanged between Gov
ernor Swettenham and Rear Admiral
Davis are being read with eager inter-
est. The incident occurred at a mo-
ment when the British press and pub
lie are loud in an expression of grate-
full recognition of the prompt and
generous assistance the United States
rendered, when IL was. impossible. ow-
ing to their distance from the scene
for British warshi9s to go To the res
cue.
The important question as to
whether the British authorities at
Kingston We're in a position To main-
tain order appears to be debatable.
General Swettenham's claim of ability
to do so Is in marked contrast to the
accounts of the many British press
correspondents. who recorded numer-
Gus cases of disorder but on the other
hand. some of the correspondents
averred that no serious disorders took
place.
What seems much less debatab!e IL
that Governor Swettenham acted en-
tirely on his own initiative The last
dispatch of the secretary for the colo
nies. Lord Elgin. to Governor Swetten-
ham. which was dated January is,
gave the governor full liberty of ac-
ton. 1t was as follows
you will know that | fully appre-
cite the courage and firmness with
which YOU and your government are
facing this great disaster. and that I
do not wish to trouble YOU with tele-
graph instructions or fetter your dis
cretion."
1t is not believed the governor sent
any substitute instructions modifying
this attitude.
As q possible eXplation of Governor
Swettenham's action, 1t is suggested
that he mav have acted under the
strain of nervous excitement through
being overwrought by his recent pain
ful eXnerienCes.
