The Smart Boss.

Rudyard Kipling wound up his re-
cent address to the students of Nc
Gill university with an attack on
"smartness," He said:
"Whenever and wherever you find
one of your dear little playmates
showing signs of snartness in his work
his talk or his play take him tenderly
by the hand. by both hands, by the
back Of the neck IL necessary, and low
ingly. playfully but firmly lead him
to a knowledge Of higher and more in
lteresting things.
Afterwards Mr.. Knpling told story
about a smart man.
"This man." he said. "owned a dry
goods store, and one day to his great
disgust. he heard a new clerk say to
lady:
Ono. madam we have not had any
for long time
with fierce glance at the clerk,
the smart employer rushed up to the
lady and said:
owe have plenty in reserve,
ma'am; plenty upstairs
Lady and clerk looked dazed, and
afterwards the smart proprietor learn
ed that the clerks remark had been
made in answer to the lady's We
havnen't had any rain lately"

HUGHES BILLS TO WIN.
New York Assembly to Pass Anti
Gambling Measures.


New York. March 13.-The assembly
codes committee at Albany reported
the anti-race track gambling bills, UNI
amended by vote OF II to 1. One OF
the bills repeats the Percy-Gray law
which permits gambling on race tracks
and the other makes betting on horse
races either on or off q track mis-
demeanor, punishable by not more than
one years Imprisonment.
Mr.. Keller of New York offered an
amendment to put off the enactment
Of the measure until Sept. i, the same
as the senate codes committee amend
ment, but this was voted down by 10
to 2.
The bills reported are those Of Sen
ator Agnew, without the Sept.
amendment. The committee decided
that both the Hart and Agnew bills
sought to accomplish the same thing,
and that the Agnew bills We're in bet
ter form. During the session the COM
mittee sent for Assemblyman Hart
and asked him II ne would consent to
have the Agnew bills substituted for
HIS He said he had no objection
Leaders in the senate and assembly
predict that the anti-race track bills
will be passed by both houses In the
committees. The restoration OF the
Agnew senate measure to its original
form is assured. it Is declared. and
Governor Hughes Is certain OF full
victory

Hard On tho Editor.

Henry w. Savage, president of the
Association OF Theatrical Producing
Managers, was laughing in New York
over Bernard Shaw's opinion of lese
majeste. Mr.. Shaw, it will be remem-
bered. said of the recent imprisonment
of editor Markveldt in Prussia for this
crime:
The sentence is entirely logical and
correct. The law against majstatsbe-
leidigung is founded on a we'll known
and long established dogma that the
king is divine person. Herr Mark
velit, when he wrote as he did. was
guilty not merely of majestatsbeleidi-
gung. but OF blasphemy, and he may
regard his escape from being burnt
alive at the stake as an ample fulfill
ment Of the promise OF clemency made
to the .reidhstag. 1t is useless to ask
how the affair would stand in England.
The English definitely decided in the
seventeenth century that a king is a
man. and the impression made by the
kaiser, during his recent visit. tho
highly agreeable, has not altered our
opinion in that respect"
Mr.. Savage said that Germany was
hard country for editors.
II know a German editor" he said
"he is an American editor now-who
found himself one night when the pa
per was about to go to press, without
any editorials What was he to do?
1T was too late to write any himself;
too late to have any written. Like
flash an inspiration came to him. and,
dipping his pen, he wrote hurriedly:
After carefully reading the editor
ials written for the morning issue by
four of the ablest and most brilliant
members Of our staff, we have come to
the conclusion that they might be mis-
interpreted by the authorities, and re-
garded as an attack on the govern
ment We ourselves consider them per-
fectly innocent, but as we have no de-
sire to see our newspaper confiscated.
we have very unwillngly, tho. as We
think, prudently, resolved to withhold
the articles in question. This must
serve as an apology to our readers for
a blank editorial page.
Imagine this EDITORS shock when
his secretary telephoned him the next
morning that the paper had been con-
fiscated.
"But-but on what ground? the
editor gasped.
"For malicious rdlcule Of the gov
ernmental authorities by the omission
of the editorials"

as compared with a year ago, and 26.4

at several important points, there Is
a gain over both preceding years. Ac-
tivity in the stock market swelled the

smaller figures. To some extent this

Why Not Study Oats?
Jefferson Bee)

The farmers of Greene county have
given a great deal of study and atten-
ton to the study Of corn during the
past two years. The matters of good
seed. selected in timely and careful
manner; proper CIVILIZATIONS: proper
care, ETC., have been discussed until 1t
is almost impossible to conceive Of
anything new to be said on the sub
ject. But in all this time we have
never heard anything about the ques-
ton of better oats. Why not? Oats
are second In value as crop in this
county. They come next to corn. The
rotation is always corn and oats, oats
and corn. This years corn ground Is
nearly always next years oats ground.
Two thirds as many acres are planted
every year to oats as to corn. And yet
oats are never included in any scheme
of Improvement or betterment.
Shall the oats question be allowed
to go by default in Iowa, as during
the past few years, or shall we rise
to proper appreciation and consider
alton of the Second best" of our
crops?

Abolish super.titution.

1t is said and believed that all the
bluejays disappear every Friday, and
not one can be seen until the next
day, and this disappearance is account
ed for by the statement that the birds
are under compact with Satan, ana
that they devote each Friday to deliv-
ering him supply of sand for heating
purposes. sand being one OF the ingre-
lients that keeps his immeasurable
caudron at the point of torture. But
why should the blue jay be selected as
sand bearer to Satan, when there are
so many birds of stronger and fleeter
wing? There are many superstitlons
that have reasoning basis, but this
particular one has nothing Whatever
to go on. The origin of 1t lies In the
fact that the blue jay is most par
ticular home builder; he knows how
to build his house. and he takes a
great pride in it. He doesn't hang his
nest to limb. nor glue it to tree

Dollar. and Doctors.

DR.. w, F. Mercer Of Ohio state uni
verslty impressed the world with his
recent declaration that dollars made
doctors cut-tt1at there were too many
surgeons who, for the sake OF large
fees. operated when operations might
be perhaps avoided.
CDR. Mercer" said q Columbus phy
stefan, has done much good with this
pronouncement of his. He has made
many surgeon more sparing OF the
knife.
II remember, Just after he had
spoken, the varsity students cheered
him with our sonorous college cheer;
'Wahoo, Wahoo. Rip, Zip, Bazoo! yell
l yell, for o. S. U.-Mercer.!'
"Then. apropos Of his dictum that
dollars made doctors cut, DR.. Mercer
told the students how a young surgeon
had once shown him over an eastern
hospital, and in the end had said:
(Which do you consider the most
dangerous Of our cases here, DR.. Mer-

""That sir was the reply.

cantly toward a case Of glittering sur

Revision Of the Tariff.
1.-THE tariff must be revised immedi-
ately after the presidential election.
To revise it now would lock up bust
ness for months of disaster and doubt
He who would refuse to revise the
tariff Immediately after the presiden-
tial election is too ancient to be trust
ed; he who would revise the tariff on
the eve of the presidential election is
too hypocritical to be tolerated. But
the earliest possible revision of the
tariff Is the will of the people because
1t is the demand of conditions, and to
the peoples will and changing condi
lions Bourbon obstruction must yield.
And let that revision be honest
and businesslike. Let experts at
once begin the work Of finding out the
facts and making classifications. The
man who does not want. experts to
find out the facts does not want the
facts found out. Our classificatlons
are a generation old. They are so
out of date that three hundred thous.
and contests have been decided to
find out in what class articles really
belonged. Let us go to the people
not only promising revision, but say

which congress can act with knowl-
