HIGH TRIBUTE PAID
To SAN FRANCISCO

LONDON, April 10.-Whitelaw Reid,
American ambassador to Great Brit
ain, was the principal speaker tonight
at the annual dinner of the Chamber
of Commerce of Luton, a town near
the ambassadors country place, West
Park. Reid described in an interest
ing manner the rebuilding of San
Francisco which city he visited re-
Gently. He said the people OF San
Francisco were doing business again.
Sometimes they worked in shanties
while their new places were being jim
.ished, and many labored at desks
made of boards laid across two barrels,
in rooms where carpenters were hang
ing doors and painters were at work
on the walls and the windows. They
were at work with so much energy that
IN the month of December, after the
fire, the bank clearings were $4,000
900 more than they were in the same
month before the conhagration.
A thing more striking than the dis
aster or the recovery, Reid said, was
the spirit in which these indomitable
people Of San Francisco confronted
the disaster and surmounted it. In
conclusion he said:
There are many things in the his
tory Of his country of which an Amer1-
can is intensely proud, but protest
that among them all there has been
nothing in forty odd years, since the
greatest civil war of modern times, OF
which we have more right to be proud
than Of San Francisco in the fire per-
iod and of San Francisco today

WANrED-A CLOCK.

An Ohio county couple took the train
into Cleveland not very long ago to do
bit of shopping. They especially de-

TWO-OCEAN NAVY
FOR THE FUTURE

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-In pursu-
ance of the programme of business
mapped out by the Republicans
through the adoption on Wednesday
last of a special rule the House today
began consideration of the naval ap-
preparation bill.
Chairman Foss of the Committee on
Naval Affairs, explained the details OF
the bill, the main features of which
have been published.
Discussing the sending of the Allan
tic fleet to the Pacific, Foss said that
despite the criticisms it called forth 1t
had been productive of inestimable
good to the country.
'Of what use is it," he inquired, Ito
build up a navy unless it can travel in
fleet formation on long cruises where
the men can be properly trafned?'
Had Admiral RodjestvensKy, he said,
made at least one cruise with his fleet
to the sea of Japan in a time OF peace
there might have been a different story
to tell about the contest with the Jap
anese navy in that memorable battle.
Foss commented upon the fact thai
the trend of Americas development
was westward and he foresaw a two

BEWARE OF WORRY"

There is a lesson of warning for business men in the fact that there were 1S6 deaths from heart dis ease in New York last week, an in- crease of 30 per cent as compared with the corresponding week of last year, and that the figures for the entire 12 months will very nearly equal this ratio of increase.
 While the average duration of hu- man life has been heightened three or four years during the present generation the number of deaths from heart disease in New York and other American cities has steadily increased. This is admittedly due to the stress and strain of modern life, but more than all to the ''wor- ry'' it entails among business men

One ball passing through Mir. Barnes right hand. The of- fcers then began to shoot with the result that Jake was shot in four places, twice in the left leg, once in the arm and one ball entered his back near the left shoulder and came out near the right breast. Mrs. Barton was struck with one ball just below the right breast iron the effects of which physi- clans think she will die. Consta- ble Jones had several holes in his clothing and one or two balls pass through his hat.

MAN OF SCIENCE RIGHT
Professor Simon's Advocacy of the Use of the Left Hand
 Is Indorsed.

"When Professor Walter Simon of Konigsberg took up the cause of the left hand," says Dr. Friedlander in a Berlin paper, Eve laughed at him. He called it the 'stief hand (fstep handy because it was con- sidered of less consequence than its right brother. There may be step- children he said, but no step hand. Nature intended the members to share alike in work This was the motive which moved him to start the classes for the cultivation of left hand work, and we who laughed at him now congratulate him and have become converts to his views. It Is only a short time since one of the men who ridiculed pr. Za- menhof and his Esperanto craze said in this paper: I ask the doc tors pardon The people who have seen the results of Professor Simon's work in the interest of the neglect ed step hand owe him a similar apolopy."

CLASS DISTINCTIONS KEPT.

The old time class distinctions ID Sweden have yielded to the more liberal ideas of modern times. The horny handed toiler is more respect ed than he used to be. But yet a kind of outward show of humility and dofing of cap is expected of the man in the humble walks of life by his more prosperous fellow Chris tian. Only the other day a letter carrier was insulted set upon and rapped on the head by a wholesale merchant for not taking off his cap when entering the latter's office to deliver mail. The mail carrier was afterward reprimanded by his su- perintendent, who held that, while the postal regulations did not spe- fciallv bid the mail carrier to take off his cap when entering place. yet it was plainly his duty to do so, as one of the rules gave the carrier permission to salute in military fashion, with cap on, when out doors, from which 1t was to be in- ferred that the cap should come off indoors.-Los Angeles Times.

AS TO FAIRY STORIES
Joel Chandler Harris Sees No Reason for Forbiddne Them to Youth
 of the Race.

The farmer has heard that there Is a periodical purporting to address itself to the young which refuses to print fairy stories. The editor has probably given his reasons for such a course, but, in all likelihood, they are not the right ones. He has doubtless told his readers that he considers fairy stories to be the wrong kind of mental pabulum" for growing boys and girls. 'Men- tai pabulum" IS a fine phrase and has learned and scientific sound, but, considering the history of civil lization, and the ten thousand diff ferent paths and winding ways that have been trod by the youth of the race, he Is hard and concelted per son who shall undertake to say that fairy stories are not fit tonic for the minds of boys and girls. But there are great many people who pretend to think it, and they are said to move in the very best circles of pedagogy. And they say 1t in face of the fact that for thousands of generations Git may bel the young have had their minds fed on fairy stories.-Joel Chandler Har- ris in Uncle Remus' Magazine.

CLERICAL POSITIONS AND THE THIRD
 TERM.

Hon. o. c. Ludwig, who is a candidate to succeed himself as secretary of state, has an opponent who urges his defeat on the ground that MT. Ludwig has already held the office for two terms. The anti third term idea is not a bad one when applied to certain offices in our system of our government. We are unalterably opposed to the granting of more than two terms to an executive officer such as gov erpor or president, or to an officer who is the custodian of public funds In the former case the op- portunity, by use of the appointive and pardoning power, is too great to build up an invincible political machine which may in time come to be used as engine of destruction against the people; in the latter case the reason IS obvious.
 But in the case of an officer oc-

cupy ing a clerical position, these objections do not apply. The sec retary of state has no opportunity to create a political machine such as in the power of the governor, and he is in charge of none of the public's money. It is an office in which each years service makes the occupant more proficient and of more value to the state. When a competent man is once placed in such an office he ought to be re- tained as long as he endeavors to do his duty, in order that the state may get the benefit of his ex- perience. Costly mistakes may be innocently made by man new to such an office, which one who had had experience in it would certain ly avoid To put out competent man simply because he had held the office for four years would be just as much an act of imprudence upon the part of the people, as 1t would for a business firm to dis charge faithful and efficient book keeper, who had become familiar with all the details of their business, tor no other reason than that he had been in their employ a certain number of months or years.
 Rotation in office may be good principle, but the efficient manage ment of the various branches of the states business is better principle. There are not enough offices to go around so that all or even a very small part of the people may have one. There are perhaps ten thous- and men in Arkansas who are con- petent or who would eventually become competent to fill clerical office in one of the state depart ments, but we cannot give an office to all of them. The best thing to do is to select a good man from among this vast number, let him learn the details of the office and if he proves competent, efficient and faithful, keep him as long as possible so that the state may suffer the least inconvenience by reason of inexperienced public servants.

 We can outlive our possibilities, and will, unless we get grip on ourselves soon enough to put pur- pose and energy into our lives that will help us to realize them.
 Take "Will-Be" for your motto and "Might-have-been" will have lost it's power to wound.

Obituary


 This little poem is dedicated to MT. and Mrs. ]. (. Bell by F.. E.. Jones in memory of their little daughter, Vessie, who unfortu. nately was burned January : and died the following day, near Mt. Vernon.
 Dear little Vessie, thou art gone.
 Yes, gone from us here; But oh, how we will miss thee
 Through all the coming years. Often at the midnight hour,
 While desolate and alone, We will still be thinking
 How sweet you were at home. And when the morning dawns.
 Robed with pearly dewdrops We will still be thinking bright,
 Of our sweet angel of light, Whose cares are all over,
 Whose body is laid to rest, Whose soul has taken its flight
 To its sweet haven of rest. Never more to suffer,
 Never more to die, But peacefully await our coming
 In the sweet bye and bye Dear parents, sister and brother,
 Weep not, though Nessie's gone. She will only await your coming
 At Gods eternal throne

PROUD OF HIS COLORS.

The stalwart youth had gotten the worst of it in the senior-fresh- man scrap.
 You don't seem to be the least worried about your discolored eye?' remarked the visitor.
 Not at all," laughed the stall vart youth.
 "But one eye is black and the other green"
 "Ah, I am proud of them. Black and green are the college colors."

AN URGENT NEED.

It is a sad commentary upon our state, that with all our boundless resources we have insufficient ac- commodations for the proper care and treatment of those unfortunates whose reason has become de- throned. In the jails of nearly every county in the state are vlo- lently insane men and women who must be restrained for the protec- tion of the public but who are placed in cells with criminals where no medical treatment is available, because the state has no other provision for them. In the homes of our people are hundreds of other vacant minds who are a ceaseless care to their protectors and who might improve and re- gain their lost mentalities under such expert treatment as the state ought to provide, but for whom the state has room in its hospital.
 The Arkansas state hospital for the treatment of nervous diseases at Little Rock is said to be crowd ed to its limit. We speak advis Fedly when we say that it has come to the pass when friends and rela tives of unfortunate insane persons are making use of political inhu- ence and fraternal bonds to secure the admission of those who by every right ought to be cared for at the states hospital instead of confined in felons cells.
 We believe that it is a mistake to apportion to each county ac- cording to its population the num- Der of insane people who may be received at the state hospital. It may be true that the quota of every county is now taken up, and if so this would make little difference, but there have very frequently been times when although there were empty wards at the hospital an insane person from a certain county would not be admitted, be- cause the number assigned to that county had already been taken up. The state ought to provide tor every such unfortunate, no matter from what county he might hap pen to come.
 We also believe that not only ought the institution at Little Rock be enlarged but other sl1nl- lar hospitals ought to be built in different sections of the state. This should be done on account of the great inconvenience of the cap ital city to some sections of Arkan- sas. Think what 1t must mean 10 take violently insane person from, say, Boone county to Little Rock. At least three different railway connections would have to De made and tue distance could probably not be covered i'll less than tweuty-four hours. Once in the hospital, the patient IS remote from relatives and friends of his home, to whom trip to visit him would be an arduous undertaking How much better would this con dition be fl there were a hospital located ill some northwestern county of the state.
 The proper care of the states in- sane is just now one of our most urgent needs and it will daily grow more urgent until adequate provision is made.
