will De hard to shaw hat the price Of
text books as quoted by the
publishers in the past two years 10
counties which have made changes

than to states practising state
adoption. But IL it we're to be
granted that in some cases the prices
are higher, it would still remain TO be
shown that it is desirable to have the
same textbooks in all parts Of the
state, in towns, cities, and rural
communities.

The FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.
Mr.. cheeriIy Discovers It and I'M
parts the Secret.

"The fountain of youth, l am per-
suaded," said Mr.. Cheerily, Springs
in our own bosoms only. The mis-
take we make in searching for it,
as we do, is in looking for it else
where.
Here it is, as one might say,
right under our noses, but that fact
we never realize; and we all go
searching for it, near and far, as
Ponce de Leon did centuries ago in
Florida.
Here's the trouble, the real trou-
bic. The fountain within ourselves,
if we don't watch out, is likely to
get sealed up; and it is when it
ceases thus to flow that we begin to
look for it elsewhere, always more
and more aimlessly, and always with
increasing WEAKNESS, for it is worry
that prompts us on this vain search
and that leads us always farther and
farther away.
"That's the secret Of the whole
business-freedom from worry; it
is worry, and worry only, that seals
the true fountain and starts us on
that fruitless quest.
Don't worry, and you will never
have TO search for it; you will dis
cover it, springing perpetual, with
in your own heart-the true and
only fountain"

Republics are subject to monarch
ical impulses at times. That our
own republic is at this time feeling
the force or sucn an impulse is evil
denced by the fact that in no quarter
Of the country and by no considerable
number of people anywhere is there
manifested the indignation and alarm
which might under other clrcum
stances have been aroused by such
expressions as the president and his
chetf cabinet officer, Mr.. Root, have
given voice to, the former 10 an
an elaborate state paper and the
latter in a written public address
When the bred Scott decision Was
rendered the wrath Of the people
famed up from ocean to ocean The
decision was uuasSailable In ,the
courts Of reason, but the people did
not want it that way. When Presi-
dent Roosevelt declared in his mes
sage to congress that in respect of
some evils (referring to Japanese
exclusion from the schools OF San
Francisco) "no efficient state action
is possible" and hence, that there is
need "throueh judicial Interpretation
and construction Of law to increase
the power OF the Federal Govern
menJ" instead of a CRY being raised
for his impeachment for seditious
speech or for violating his oath TO
support the constitution, the people
generally heard his suggestion with
out disfavor. One has but TO read
the history Of England under the
Tudors and the Stuarts and the his
tory of Rome from the time'of Appius
Claudlus to the time Cicero to appre
ciate the treason of the presidents
sentiments.

WHAT c SAID.

He who contradicts everything ut
tered by another is soon disliked for
a cranky fool. ct is a good
precept," said the wise Bacon, "gen-
orally in seconding another, yet to
add somewhat Of your own; if you
grant his opinion let it be with
some distinction if you will follow
his motion, let it be with condition;
if you allow his counsel let it be
with alleging further reason" Lord
Palmerston it was, l believe, who
used this precept to immense ad-
vantage. To even his most violent
opponent in debate he would reply:
81 agree with everything the noble
lord has said, but" etc. Then fol-
lowed a scathing reply. He ever
agreed, yet always with a reserya-
ton. He got to be known as "0ld

LEPaosY NOT TO BE FEARED.
Scientists Laugh at the Possibilities
Of ~contagion.

According to Jonathan Hutchin-
son, an eminent Englishman, and
many other scientists, the common
apprehension Of contagion from lep-
rosy, under ordinary circumstances,
has no foundation in fact.
Mr.. Hutchinson declares that
there is not the slightest cause for
alarm concerning the prevalence OF
the terrible disease in the Rhone
valley in Switzerland, which is yis-
tied by many tourists from America
and Europe.
He says there are more lepers in
London than in the whole of the
Valais Canton, and that in Norway
the numbers may probably be multi
piled a hundredfold. Yet no one
fears to reside in London OF to visit
Norway. He AYERS that no one
ever contracts the disease in either
place.
He says: That the development
of leprosy in the Rhone valley is
due largely to the artificial demand
for fish on the fast days. The
natural supply Of fish is limited.
Railway communication has been
developed, and just as has been the
case in Cape Colony, leprosy has re-
suited. It is the poor and those
living at a distance from shops who
are likely to keep their fish too long
and eat it in bad condition.

The number of bills relating to
good roads introduced 10 the
legislature at It's present session
amply indicate the general interest
ia the subject, but taken as a whole,
they give little evidence Of mastery
OF this i'm portaut problem. There is
the plan to submit a constitutional
amendment empowering the state to
issue bonds to the amount Of
$50, 900 900 with which to grldiron
the state With macadam roads all at
once. There is Mr. Folks plan to
create a road fund by special taxes
upon public corporations, with which
two model roads, n north and south
and one east and west, are to be
built to serve as object lessons
Nobody seems to have made a study
of the experience Of other states
which solved the problem Add
when the experience OF other states
has been referred to it all, it is the
experience Of such states as
Massachusetts which first acquired
It's macadam roads under u system
and afterwards reconstructed some Of
its man lines under another sY stem
The good roads convention in session
this week In Jefferson City heavily
discounted the legislature in thu
wisdom Of its suggestions to provide
for a bonus by the state to be given IL
consideration of a bonus by thu
county, the latter to be granted onl,
In consideration Of a district sub
scrlptlon or a district TAX sufficient II
/ amount to supplement the tw
bonuses and complete the work 10
J manner satisfactory TO the count
court and the state highwa
engineer. This last suggestion is no
only consistent with the experienc
OF the older state, but 1t would insur
that the most important roads wouC
be built first.

Representative Simmons opposes
the various text book bills which
have been proposed IN the legislature
and would makenan appropriation Of
5000, 600 tor a government prlntery
and $4,000 additional for the purpose
Of purchasing copyrights. Kansas
and other states have tried the
experiment which Mr.. Simmons
proposes and nowhere has 1t been
found satisfactory. There is probably
no field Of public ownership which
presents so small a chance Of success:
as the text BOOK printing field
There must inevitably be higher
priced books under this system, or q
poorer selection OF texts--more
probably the latter, for a state would
be slow to make changes involving
pecuniary loss.

Minnesota free text books are furnished
in a majority of the districts OF the
state. but IN Iowa only a handful Of
district baye Tree text books, and there
seems to be no tendency to extend the
| system in most of those states where
it is optional. The reluctance to take
advantage of the law is probably dne
to four causes; First, the labor iuvol
we'd in furnishing the books aud caring
for them; second, the conviction that
the money a be spent to better
advantage; third, the realization o.
the dangers from contagious diseases
and fourth, the feeling that the parents

The sofa or couch, which is now
such aH indispensable and delight
full article Of household equipment,
was probably one of the earliest
pieces of furniture made. 1t was of
far greater Importance in the men
age of the antique world, however,
than it is to-day, for it formed the
bedstead by night as well as the
seat on which persons invariably re-
clined when eating their meals as
well as at other times Of the day,
and was most likely the only piece
of actual furniture besides a table
that the house contained. AS far
as can be gathered from history the
couch-as distinct from The diyan
made of cushions, skins and rugs
