line as being one of the finest fruits

Burbank's hands this winter for the

The Country Editor

tits not necessary these days to
rebuke sneers at the country editor,
because these days nobody does sheer
at the country editor. The time has
passed.
Yet it is not because the country
editor has taken to office holding
that he is an influential figure in the
nation. 1t is rather in spite of that
fact. Therefore, the exultation of d
member of the rural journalistic fra
ternity over the rise to power Of ma
ny of his contem poraries is due to a
misapprehension of cause and effect.
The country editor is a power not be-
cause be is in office but because he is
an editor .;.it -''' + ~.
1t is true that the country editor
nowadays aspires to more important
postssthan the local postmastership.
tits truei that in Kansas, Minnesota
and Oklahoma he has attained to the
gubernatorial chair, and that moth
er states he holds hardly less inpor-
tant Office. But these honors are, af-
ter all, merely incidents of his chief
glory which arises out Of his journal
lstic vocation. 80 IS
Anybody with strength enough to
draw a salary can be an Office holder,
but it takes a'pretty good all-rdund
man to be country editor. Such a.
man must combine business and lit
arary ability with more political sa-
gacity than falls to the lot of the
average politician. He must be di-
plomat and a good mixer. He must
possess the Judicial temperament and
above all. he must have reputation
for honesty that is bove suspicion: 1t
is the possession of these qualities
which makes the editor OF patent
inside weekly power in his commu-
nifty far, out Of proportion to the in
fiuence which is exercised by the
metropolitan journalist.
The couatEy editor is close to his
constituents They know him, and if
they support and endorse him, he is
second to no man in the lower he
wieldsin his neighborhood. If hesfails
in honesty or in fairness, he will not
long remain country editor. be-
cause bis influence vanishes With his

Professor Frederick Starr, head of.

to the fact that the old-fashioned fam
lily bible, with its birth and death rec
ords, was rapidly disappearing from
homes in civilized countries.
I'm not one-half the families foaaay
were we able to get the exact aga
and place of birth and other dasfred
data" he said. 1T il even more ala
cult to get such information in Africa
think If the Bible, or some such book
as the old-fashioned Bible Of the civi
liked home existed these historical
facts would be the more easily learned,
and of course the moral influence
would be greater"
Professor Starr also called atten-
ton to the motto of the Congo Free
State-'Labor and Progress" The
motto, he said. was well known among
the natives, young and old.
1t Is notorious here that few Amer
leans know the motto Of their OWE

When the great corporations, the

majesty of the law, and obey the
same and pay their just proportion
of taxes, like individuals, they will
be in no danger OF oppression from

learn to do to become immune from

The Mysterious Music of the Pas
cagoulas, which IS heard during the
summer and fall months, is one of
those strange phenomenons that ex-
cites the curiosity of the visitor. On
still days and calm nights the sound
rises from the water in the most de-
lightful harmonic combinations, pro-
ducing a certain music, never known
before. It's like the I.eolin Tyre,
when the wind blows, the strings
begin to sound in unison; but as the
force of current increases, the sound
changes into a pleasing admixture of
all the notes of the diatonic scale.
From which. with airy fingers light
Beyond each mortal touch the most refined
The God of winds draws sounds of deep delight
Whence, with just cause the harp of Aeolus
it hight.
All me what hand can touch the strings so fine
Who up the lofty diapason roll
Such sweet such sad, such solemn airs divine
Then let them down into the soul.
Wild wabling nature all. above the reach of
art.
