The first qualification of anyone who would seek to
better administration is entire candor and the
spirit of fair play. [ to do with the man
who will spread false accusation without good just

notice two legal words of curious mean

prosecution were liable to arrest and

All over the country and at all times
in politics are due to lack Of interest
and lack of work on the part Of the
better class Of citizens. The charge is
true. and has been so long repeated,
that it is beginning to stir little pat
riotic sentiment in the breasts of men
who have neglected their political du-
ties; and this. of course, is whole
some symptom. Among those who have
been touched by this tiny flame Of civic
virtue are some members of political
club in one Of the great eastern uni
Versities. They determined to get a
taste Of real politics at the primaries
for Il recent city election Their ex-
periences, as related to reporter. are
worth considering. One of them said,
Il didn't enjoy some OF the things I
had to do but they were instructive,
anyway Another said, Il didn't know
just what we were there for, bat did
what they told me. They sent NE round

of the men promised to go down and
vote" The most suggestive ease was
that of the young man who related his
experience thus: Il was handed Il list
Of men to get after. l figured 1t out
that the country would be safe even if
they didn't vote. so I went up to a
pool room and stayed there until near
closing time, and then went back ana

Lake shipping is increasing more rap
idly than was dreamed possible a few
years ago. There are three canals
round the rapids at the foot Of Lake
Superior, two on the American side Of
the river and one on the Canadian. The
larger of the American canals was sup
posed to be big enough to accommodate
all the traffic that would ever seek to
use it, but it is now crowded and work
is just beginning on third American
canal. 1t will cost five million dollars
and take five years for its completion.

FAIR PLAY FOR PUBLIC OFFICERS.
BY Gov. Hughes of New York.

l believe that our citizenship was
never more alert and insistent upon
maintaining proper standards of eff
ficient administration than to-day.
And / believe that it would be diff
cult to point to time when a larger
proportion of public officers were
striving honestly to do their duty.
In demanding justice we must not
forget to do justice. Nothing Is
gained by making suspicion do duty
for facts. The tendency to a Gym
ical and censorious spirit in our citi-
zenship should be checked. Especial
ly unworthy is such spirit in those

It was high time that some person
was coming to the defense Of the awk-
ward boy. Every awkward boy, and
every man who was once an awkward
boy, and every human being who can
appreciate the sufferings of the awk-
ward boy will be glad that d person
as capable and sympathetic as Presi
dent Hughes Of De PAW university
has taken the subject in hand md
done justice to it. He has divided the
life Of the average boy into three pc
RODS, or stages-the unconscious, the
awkward, and the maturely conscious
but the second stage only is the one
which has an interest for us here With
regard to this period President Hughes
remarks: Now, what the boy needs at
this time is adroit sympathy. II you
are at some social gathering, and you
see some boy standing by the door, suf-
fering like modern martyr go to him
and make him forget that he has
hands, feet, a collar that gorges him,
clothes that are too big for him, and
for just a minute let him be q human
being He may also need an appeal
to his self-respect at this period. AS
a matter Of fact, no man can think too
much Of himself We do not have the
one-thousandth part Of the self-respect
that we ought to have. And the boy
at this time needs to have real tribute
paid to his personality, so that he will
feel that, after all, he is somebody in
the world" Nothing could be truer
than this. If there is time in the life
OF boy when he should have a large
share of affection and respect and fiat
tery-when he should be held up to
himself as a really superior person
it is when he Is passing through this
awkward stage, for it is at this time
that he is most sensitive, and most i'm
questionable, and most inclined to think
we'll or Ill of his kind and of the world
in general. He does not invite affec-
ton, Or kindness or even charity at
this period. He is more likely to repel
all Of them. But If he is approached
in the proper spirit, and reasoned with
in the proper tone Of voice, and advised
by the right person, he will soon be-
come easier himself, and will gradu-
ally fall out Of the way of making ev-
erybody around him miserable. He
knows that he is aWkward-knows it
better than those who apologize for
him, better than those who make fun
Of him-and he Is resentful because of
it, He would give the world If he could
only be as self-contained as the milk
man, or the gas man, or even his faith
er, and if he had his choice between
the diamond mines of Africa and the
ability to look calm and cool when a
woman smiled at him he would choose
the latter. He has not the satisfaction
of knowing it, and he would hot be-
lieve 1t If told, but he will learn some
day that his awkwardness and freckles
and all the characteristics of the pc
Rod have never yet prevented and new.
CT can prevent true merit from coming
to the top, and that it is the awkward
boy who usually becomes the suave and
successful man and has money to lend
to the man who grew up from a dandi-
fed and selfsatisfed youth. So be
kind to the awkward boy. He will not
need your kindness very long. and
there is no telling when you may need
his.

Roasting Meats.

All white meats gain in flavor from
a delicate onion admixture with the
gravy. The onion Is to be grated and
put over the meat before it has just
finished roasting and then blended by
basting. In this way one avoids the
burnt onion slices, which sometimes re,
suit from other methods and which
have, in a way, caused the addition of
onion to be regarded with dlsfayor
