A Mayor Who Quotes Scripture.

Mayor Woods of Somerville knows the Scriptures, and in a veto message which he submitted last night he quoted from the Bible for the benefit of the aldermen.
 Familiarity with the Bible is an aid to effective speech. Speaker Cannon often drives home point with Scriptural allusion, and his knowledge of the Bible is extensive. MT. Bryan has displayed a notable readiness in handing out Biblical quotations to his audiences. Daniel Webster knew his Bible well, and in his address on the completion of the Bunker Hill monu-
 nent he paid a striking tribute ta the book.
 Many great writers and many great orators have been helped by knowl- edge of the Scriptures. Wholly apart from moral and religious considera- tions. a person who knows the Bible thoroughly has a marked advantage over the person whose acquaintance with it is slight. Ability to quote Scripture adds to ones equipment. It is. indeed, true, as Shakespeare point ed out, that "the devil can cite Scrip ture for his purpose" but he doesn't try 1t very often.
 In the matter of expression the Bible Is the masterpiece of the ages, and anybody who seeks simple, compact and effective style should search the Scriptures.-Hartford Times.

AMERICAN RICE CULTURE.

Rice stands next to wheat and corn in the list of the worlds food crops and as a clean and wholesome diet is gaining favor in the western world, and the cultivation of 1t in this coun- try seems to be progressing by leaps and bounds. It was not so long ago that 100. 100000 pounds represented the total crop of this country. but the bu- reau of statistics at Washington calls attention to the fact that the yield has now reached sos.0o0,0o0 pounds. with a prospect of greatly increasing the crop In the near future. The worlds crop of rice is estimated at 175,0OO, ,O0O.0Oo pounds annually and 1t is to the Asiatics what wheat is to the people of other parts of the world. There are q hundred ways in which rice can be served and as the cooking of it is the better understood the de- mand rapidly increases. There is no reason why the southern states should not eventually become as celebrated for their rice crop as for their cotton crop. They have plenty of rice land still awaiting development.

wish for your cause and for us all that abundant common sense may como with the season of good will
 That this movement is on to stay can De no longer doubted. Not only cities are favoring it. but the state of Massachusetts leads the way by making an athletic field compulsory equipment for every place in that state of over 10000 inhabitants, and every place of SO.o0O population must have two.
 An advocate of these playgrourids in Massachusetts calls attention to the fact that supervision Of the children is necessary for other things than play. "Unregulated play" he says, ''has cer- tain evil possibilities which 1t is just as we'll to avoid. Clean play. avoid ance of tricke.y and cheating, the use of proper language and pride in honest winning are perhaps not any more spontaneous than knowledge of Greek or of the procession of the euuinoxes. we come at all of these things through certain channels, and it is just as well to provide the chan nels as to leave 1t to them to provide themselves. So supervision is neces- sary whether we think we like it or not"
 This seems right, too. for if we pro- pose to make the most of the child negligence can play no part in the training. The best trained children make the best citizens.

WHAT IS CONGRESS GOING TO DO

The present session of congress has ft in its power to strengthen the hands of the administration and to promote republican interests or to pave the way for the ascendancy of the democratic party. Much is not to De expected until after the holidays; hut in the next few weeks the policy pg the dominant party, or the lack of st, may indicate the trend of the fac fions. The democrats are hoping that the old republican ability to forgive and to forget, to farmonize for the common good and the good of the country, has been lost, and that fac tionalism will rend the party beyond recovery; but the chances are that they will see the republicans acting together for the interests of the party and people since they realize that dis integration means in the end defeat.
 It is probable that the conservative spirit and good sense of President Taft will be accepted by majority of his party, and that the policies of the party will be honored and such legislation carried through as will irn- press the people with the good faith and honesty of their representatives.
 Some of the leading democratic writ CTS for the press predict harmony in che republican ranks and a fairly sat- fsfactory closing session of the Sixty nrak conRregs

Not a condonabIe offense.

A correspondent writes: T have read with interest in The Bulletin, Decem- Der 9, James N. Arnold's defense of Benedict Arnold. I have long thought that historians have failed to do full justice to his unparalleled bravery at critical points in American history. and I once wrote something in recog- milton of 1t. Little exception can be taken to the facts stated by Mir: Arm old, but he goes too far in asking us to condone" the infamy of the traitor -on account of his valor. tender hearted woman was ready to excuse the sins of Satan because he was in- dustrious! We may pity the man, we might forgive him if he were penitent. but the crime cannot be palliated or extenuated by his brilliant career. nor by his financial straits. nor the in1us- tice that he writhed under. The Foul blot on his splendid escutcheon will remain indelible as long as his name endures in our annals. He might have lived in history as the greatest of he- roes, had he dared to return. confess his crime, rerudiate his ill-gotten re- ward and redeem Andre"

EouALIzlNe TAXES.

It goes without saying that a polit- teal system of taxation cannot work more justly under a board of equaliza- tion than without 1t. The system of taxation in this country has never ap- preached a plane of equality. and is never likely to- Virginia, like Con- necticut, is trying to equalize taxes and the Richmond Times-Despatch says 1t can be shown that real es- tate assessments in Virginia vary from 12 to no per cent. of the market value of the property. It inevitably follows that a man in one section of the state fs called upon to pay three or four times as much in taxes as another man holding property of precisely the same kind in another section of the state"
 This reads just as true for this state as for that. Some towns here are paying on full valuation, some on 65 per cent, and the remainder upon a go-as-you- please schedule, and with local political assessors there appears to be no way to remedy the evil. The Times Despatch declares 'the unequal assessments are simply a natural and logical part of an entirely unequal tax coda To equaIfze sassessments and not to remedy the entire code would be putting new wine in old bottles"
 This system is not peculiar to New England or the south for 1t has spread with the growth of the country and it kiyrs rise to bitter complaint every Where. 7aA ~
 How the assessing is done in Vir- Rinia is shown by The Times Des- pstch's explanation that "a lenient ss- sessor will take a leisurely ride over a farm and then sit down to eat din- ner with the property owner. He will presently decide that the property should be taxed at, let US say, s3 an acre. Another man, who obeys the letter and spirit of the law, might as- Gess the same property. or similar property. in another district. at s25 an acre.
 How mtrch like home this seems: and the Virginians admit. that flor this gross injustice there is no exist ing recourse. The taxpayer has to grin and endure, or laugh and take il easy, as the case may be-"

'Howdy," said the man from Arizo- na, who had time to kill and was feel ing lonely. addressing the pretty stem ographer in the hotel corridor.

 "Fact is." continued the man from Arizona. taking the chair at her side, 'T'm SO lonesome that I'll bust If l don't find some one to talk to. Say, miss. are you very busy?'
 q don't have any time to be Idle. DO you want to dictate to me?'
 we westerners don't presume to dic- tate to women. I just thought you looked sort of friendly, and l haven't a soul to speak to-rny sisters have gone out shopping"
 I'm ready to take your letter" said the pretty stenographer.
 "Pd rather talk to you-letter writ ing isn't much in my line. l brought my sisters to the city to let them see the stock show"
 "Did your sisters thoroughly enjoy the show?"
 "They've not had time to go yet been shopping two days and in the evening they want to go to some tfeater. I don't give a cent for these society plays. do you? want some thing lively. We have good shows in our town"
