THE "MARSEILLAISE."
1t Was Written by Rouget de Isle In
One Brief Hour.

Is was WTiIIon ny houScI oe EiSio IN
One Brief Hour.
On April %, 1892, Rouget de Lisle,
the military engineer, who had assum-
ed the aristocratic prefix to become an
officer, was a guest at a banquet given
by Baron Dietrich, first mayor of
Strassburg.
Patriotic excitement was at its
height. "Marchonsr AUX armes, cito-
yens." were phrases on every lip. But
as the champagne went round the la
dies grew weary and pleaded for an
other topic. Patriotic songs? A hymn
for the army of the Rhine? Something
better than the jingling "Ca ira!' The
host first suggested public competi-
ton and prize. Then he turned to
Rouget de Isle and asked him to
compose noble song for the French
people"
Rouget de Lisle tried to excuse him
self Again the champagne passed
round, and just as the party broke up
a fellow officer about to quit Strassburg
next day begged De Isle for copy Of
his forthcoming song.
81 make the promise on behalf of
your comrade," DietricDreplied.
Rouget de Isle reached his lodging
close by, but not to sleep. His violin
lay on the table. Taking it up, he
struck few chords. Soon a melody
seemed to grow under his fingers. No
sooner had he put down the notes than
he dashed off the words.
Thus having in brief hour secured
for himself an undying name he threw
himself upon his bed and slumbered
heavily.-ReaderM Magazine.

TAFT Is NO HEIR

The New York Sun cannot listen
to this talk of Taft's being Roose-
velt's choice for the nominee of the
next Republican national convention.
Taft is man to run a political
race for himself, or not at ALL
says the Sun.
If he ran the presidential race for
himself he would make enemies-for
he is no political trimmer. If the
nomination came to him as the rep
resentative of the Roosevelt pro-
gram" he would not accept it. In
deed, The Sun thinks the patient
Taft will very soon speak out and
shatter this web of fancy now being
spun around him-and so says:
What is there in his personal
appearance or in his family history,
or in his recent career which leads
people to take it for granted that he
is mere mirror for Mr.. Roosevelt?
He is no mans man, no mans slave,
any more than Mr.. Roosevelt is him
self-who is, indeed, the slave of his
own idiosyncrasies.
Therefore, it will not do so light
ly to impute a candidacy of such a
character to person of William H.
Taft's makeup, for he is, every inch
OF him, most assured man; a man
who could not for the life of him
harbor a dishonest or a selfish
thought, nor, though it won him the
world, do sordid or a mean thing.
How is it possible to contemplate
such a man going before a national
convention, or, worse, going before
the people of the United States. with
a dog collar around his neck, a pro-
digious badge of moral and intellec-
tual bondage: This is the Chattel.

vention of either republicans or DEM

Large Glass At State College.

| PULLMAN, Wash, June "a.
Commencement week has just closed
at the State College, and fifty-three
young men and women, the majority
of them being residents of Washing
ton, received their diplomas from
President Bryan and the Board of
Regents, on Commencement Day,
June goth.
! The address to the graduating
classes was delivered by President
Oscar j. Craig, of the University OF
Montana He said, in part:
''In the present age, power comes
from the application of knowledge,
not merely acquiring it. 1t is pos
sible for the human mind to grasp
the profoundest learning, and yet
be destitute of power. The world
cares nothing about your ancestors,
or your personal history! Whether
your father wrote a book, or your
grandfather was the hero cf a hun
dred battles, matters not; you are
simply asked what you can do
Having presented the diplomas,
President Bryan briefly addressed
the classes, and the large audience,
as follows:
Il know of no occasion more fit
than this one, on which to publicly
thank the citizens of the state OF
| Washington for the generous sup
port given to the State College at
the last session of the legislature.
The appropriations then granted, of
larger sums than usual to carry on
the work of the college, was mat
ter of interest to the institution, and
| the people of the state. The in
creased efficiency which his liberal
support will give the college in its
experimental and scientific work
will permit the accomplishing of SUI
lperior results on behalf Of the farm
ling and industrial communities of
| Washington. Too much cannot be
said in honor of the generous spirit
and the interest in the form of edu-
cation displayed by the State College
which prompted the state legislature
at it's last session, to grant approp-
riations approXimating nearly a hall
million dollars in value, for the ad-
ditional buildings and maintenance
which were needed so badly by this
growing institution"

LIVE STOCK AT LARGE.

so cents each is what owners
must pay TO the city now when me-
andering stock is taken up by the
pound keeper.
This is getting off too easily
with so many grassy lawns in sight,
it is almost worth while to turn
ones horse loose and allow him to
browse all night, and run chances on
being impounded:
so cents a night is cheap horse
feed-or COW feed, as the case may
be.
Only recently a large herd of cat
tie ran amuck, devastating the hand
some lawns of several citizens, and
eating Strawberries and trampling
through the garden of another.
The city authorities have decided
that in future stock taken up in the
streets shall be kept in the public
pound until the owner reimburses
such citizens as may have suffered
by reason of the animals depreda-
tions.
This is only fair.

The Earthquake Season.

The big earthquake of 1906 had its re-
lapse on time, although it didn't hit
the same region. April seems to be a
favorte month for the earth to adjust
things if, as scientists declare, the
earthquakes are due solely or princi-
pally TO the REIMBURSEMENT of rock
strata" in the region shaken up.
San Francisco's shake of 1906 came
on April IS. In 1892 and in 1894 1t
came on April 20. In 1893 Zante was
shaken on April II, and on April 20,
1894, the whole of Greece was af-
fected. On April %. 1897, the Lee
ward islands had q severe shaking up.
The most remarkable freak of the
weather recorded in recent years Oc-
Cured on April q, 1902, when the
thermometer ranged from 80 to 102 in
the course Of few hours in the same
territory. Taken in connection with
the quakes Of 1907, April Is in Mexico
and April Is over a wide region on
both hemispheres, this showing Of data
suggests that there is an earthquake
season corresponding with our weather
changes. Perhaps the scientists will
include In their studies Of rock dis
placements and their results the
causes Of these displacements and In
time reach the conclusion that elec-
capers on the earth's surface and along
or beneath the earth's crust stimuli
taneously.

While there is at this time no sign
of trouble between the United States
and any foreign power, it isn't very
reassuring to know that gigantic
com bination stands between the gov
, eminent and its powder supply; yet
this is precisely the situation, accord
ing to the carefully prepared and in
teresting article which appeared in
Sundays issue of the Post-Intelligen-
Ger. No other country in the world
is similarly situated, and no sane
man can fail to realize the danger
inhering in such a situation.
Aside from the fact that the gov
eminent seems to be paying more
than it should pay for its powder,
the Dupont's seem to be in posi-
ton to absolutely paralyze the naval
and military power of the govern
ment in a season of stress and dan
ger, if they should desire to do so.
lOf course, such a thing is not at all
| likely; but the wise thing for the
government to do is to make such a
disaster wholly impossible.
The government must do SOM
thing more than keep its powder
dry; it must also keep it in reach,
| just as they do in England, Japan,
France, Germany and Russia.
No man may tell what tomorrow
has in store for this country. The
| worlds map is subject to change;
nothing is certain" quoth Epicte-
| tus, except that nothing is GER
TAIN" and the saying is as true today
as it was yesterday. Peace confer
ences, no matter how wisely conduct
ed, cannot unmake human nature,
or wipe out the imperial dreams of
| the worlds greatest races. Pre-
paredness was the sum of Washing
| tons admonition to his countrymen:
preparedness is not possible with the
powder out of reach.
The government should look care
fully into two thingi: 1t should find
out whether We are paying mo e
than we ought to pay for our pow
| der, and should tren devise some
means of keeping closer to the sup
ply. At times it is dangerous to al
low even a friend and well-wisher to
stand between the man and his gun

Armed For MArder.

That crusade recently begun In New
York city against the practice Of car
rying deadly weapons concealed on
the person will find support from all
order loving citizens and ought to be
taken up throughout the country. The
man or woman who pulls out "gun"
on slight provocation is menace to
public order. Such person must live
in constant expectation of engaging In
bro,ls of some sort. Instead Of trying
to avoid trouble its coming is not un-
welcome because prepared for in adj
vance. In the majority of cases where
murders are committed nowadays the
murderer may be said to have studied
the part, and the concealed weapon is
part of the play.
Even justifiable killing-supposing
there can be such a thing-encourac
the other kind. A person is attacked
and shoots the asSailant. Persons of
another class note that and having a
project in hand likely to lead to dis
pute provide for emergencies. Many
murderers regret the act the moment
the deed is done. They Wee prepared,
but didn't mean to go so far. Temper
got the better of them. This very mat
ter of uDcertaln temper is knock
down argument against carrying con-
cealed weapons. They are too handy.
Sometimes the basest treachery is in
volved in the carrying Of concealed
weapons. The real or possible enemy
may be ready for peace or compro-
mise. He is open and aboveboard and
Oh the square To be shot down is not
a square deal. Anarchy and nothing

With the figures of the United
States patent Office before him no
one can question the inventiveness
of the American people. During
the last year there were 56,4S2 appli-
cations for patents for inventions
and designs and total of 81 ,O65
patents were issued. Though many
of the articles or designs patented
never got beyond that initial stage,
either from lack of capital to prop
erly introduce them or from the
failure of the public to appreciate
them at the value placed upon them
by the inventors, there are in this
country today in common use thou
sands of articles, big and little, by
sales of which fortunes have been
made.
Some of the most simple things
in use in the homes, in the shops, in
offices and factories, on the farms
and in every branch of industry, are
the products of the inventive minds
of men, who, in many cases, have al
most accidentally thought of them
and who had the quickness of per-
ception to realize that the sudden
idea could be made financially prof
liable. 1t is the little and simple
thing that causes the most surprise
when considering the long list of
patents that have been issued since
the establishment of the Office, in
l1S36. Aand while many men are con-
stantly wondering why it is they can
not think of something that might
fill a long felt want somebody else
steps in with device that is aston
ishingly simple, but wonderfully use
full
Domestic, mechanical. agricultu-
raj and other kinds of labor have
been simplified and made easy by
the practical use to which some men
put their minds. while others are
plodding along with the facilities al
ready at their command. 1t is for
tunate for the mass of the people
that there are among them some
whose intellects are keen.
This inventive faculty has made
the patent Office one of the few
self-supporting departments of the
government. The receipts of the
Office last year reached $1,790,921,
while the expenditures were $1,554,-
S91. The total amount of the pat
ent fund to the credit of the Office
in the United States treasury is now
