LAwsoNs ENTHUSIASM.
A Brilliant Man But Lacking the
Solid Mental Substratum.

No unprejudiced reader OF Law
sons life-story can deny that the man
has an extraordinarily brilliant mind.
The writer, in doing his journalistic
DAYS work, has had to brush elbows
with many brilliant men--the men
whose stature places them conspicu-
ously above their fellows statesmen
scholors, scientists, physicians, ex-
plorers, judges, railroad-builders, en-
pire- -builders-and Lawson ranks as
one of the brilliant men OF his times.
Because he is brilliant he is not neces-
sarily great, for many brilliant men
are lacking in that solid substratum
of mind without which there can be
no greatness. The story that has
been told here of Lawson's life is a
story of brilliant man without the
solid mental substratum.
With his brilliancy go hand in hand
his energy and enthusiasm. His
| energy is amazing. Not one man in
a thousand can keep pace with him.
He has a multiple-cylinder, high
speed mind His enthusiasm is equ-
ally amazing. To form clear con-
ception of the man, his enthusiasm
must always be taken account Of he
| is enthusiastic over everything that
occupies his mind-whether it be a
design for door-knocker at Dream
void or a remedy for worldwide
panic; and he is enthusiastic over him
self--his career, his work, his menta
power, his plan Of revolutionizine
the social order. All great reformer:
haye been enthusiastics without
enthusiasm there can be no reform
The border line between enthusiasm
and insanity is often vaguely defined
iLawson's enthusiasm over his Rem
edy is so amazing that the writer
after one long talk with him, on on
of the worst days Of the bank panic
was compelled to ask himself; "Ha

ADELIBERATE A INSULT.

If, as is reported ali over this city,
the Suomi Temperance Society, at its
last meeting. permitted a certain lac.
ton Of the membership to force upon
ii resolution in contempt OF Presi7
dent Theodore Roosevelt and to turn
the portrait OF the Chief Executive
hanging in the hall, to the wall, 1t was
guilty Of deliberate and brazen IN
suit for which it has no excuse that
viii stand against public opinion m
this city.
In this, the freest country that most
OF the members of that society ever
knew in their lives, such an action is
construed very harshly. Americans to
the "manor born, would not be
guilty Of it except under the most
extraordinary conditions that vouched
for the turpitude and recklessness q
the man holding the highest gilt IN
the power Of the nation to confer;
and il comes with wretched grace
from people who have been welcom-
ed. nourished and freed, and put upon
the plane Of opportunity and civic
largess no other country on earth
could Or would, have offered them.
We cannot but believe there must
have been some strong protest
against this untoward action at the
meeting, because there are people IN
that society who are better bred and
better informed than the ignorant
majority that compelled the insolent
act and record; and we hope that
protest is registered upon the mia
utes of that meeting for the sake OF
the society which has done much ex--
cellent work in this community.
President Roosevelt is but human;
he has his faults and INDUCES them
just as other men do; but he is PresiI
dent of these United States and the
foremost citizen of the Republic, and
should be immune from such open
contempt as was expressed in this
case. The act viii not hurt the
President; he will never hear of it,
in all likelihood; but the men who
were guilty of its casting, will find il
boomerang in this community.

atus. The collection embraces all
that is needed TO prepare students
to enter the University of Wash
ington or any other good college OF
technical school.
The High School just received
a gift Of a fan motor from Mr.. Bliss,
engineer on the Str. vashon. The
new motor will be used as dyna-
mo chiefly and when so operated
will run several l6 candle power

James Chamberlain and Carl
Carlson are constructing a planer
Tor metal work. When completed
the machine will plane blocks of
metal up to twenty inches long by
twelve inches wide. Reinforced
concrete is the material chiefly
used for the bed and frame.
On Dec. 18th. the High School
gave an entertainment at the
Woodman's Hall. 1t was one OF
the best patronized entertainments
ever given by the school and yield
ed over twenty five dollars. This
sum will be used in purchasing
much needed books for the library.
In order to teach History, Civics,
and English at all satisfactorily
about two hundred dollars worth
of referance books are necessary.
1t is hoped that the twenty five
dollars already secured can be
materially increased by private
subscription, and repeating the
entertainment in other parts OF the
Island.
The character cast was as follows.
For the play is the Editor in,

The two comic plays provoked un-

THE SEWING ROOM.

To Sew in sIeeves.-When sewing
sleeves in a garment, instead Of
gathering them first, haste the under
arm part to the garment where there
is to be no fullness, then gather top
of sleeve and draw shir thread so as
to fit into armhole. By so doing the
difficulty of getting the exact fullness
In the right place is avoided.
Prevent Raveling.-When you cut off
the arms and legs of f1annels instead
of making a hem finish off with
buttonhole stitch. This keeps it from
travelling out and makes it look nicer
. Sheets for chiId's Bed.-Instead of
buying regular sheeting, purchase the
54-inch pillow case material. This
width will be found sufficiently wide
for child's bed, and with a hem
stitch at the top makes an easily
handled sheet for a small bed. The
nlength of the sheets depends on the
length of the bed.
Prevent Gored Skirt Saaqina.-To
prevent gored or circular skirt sag
ging at the seams sew in with the
seam when making a strip of narrow
tape. This will aid wonderfully in re-
tanning the shape of the skirt.

CLEANING PROCESS.

aluminium Cleans Silver-To save
time and labor in cleaning silver, in
stead of the usual way of silver polish
and much rubbing, take an aluminium
kettle filled with boiling water in
which place the silver so it is COM
pletely covered with the water, and
let it boil ten minutes; then remove,
and rub dry with a soft cloth. The
result will be great surprise, for
the silver will look like new.
To Clean Carpet.-Ammonia, two
ounces; spirits of wine, one-third
ounce; ether, one-third ounce; best
glycerin, one-third ounce; best pulver-
lied CASTLE soap, two ounces. Add
enough water to make one gallon.
Remove Precipitation Stain.-A light
colored gown that has been stained
by perspiration can be made much
more presentable by rubbing the stain
with white chalk or magnesia.
Rub OFF Feathers.-An easy way tc
remove down from a duck or pir
feathers from a chicken is, after the
fowl has been we'll scaldcd, to take
rough towel and rub the fowl. This
method saves much time and a tedious
task.
