A Joke on Mark Twain.

The whole world will enjoy the
practical joke played on Mark
Twain, the humorist, whose
jokes, practical and otherwise,
have been at the expense of other
people.
Robert J. Collier, the New
York publisher, write to Mr..
Clemens secretary few days
before Christmas that he had ar
ranged to give the humorist an
elephant for a Christmas present.
He asked them to prepare a place
for it, and the family, unwilling
to risk any injury to Mr.. Golfers
feelings, prepared to turn the
garage into elephant quarters.
A few days later load of hay
was received with the compli-
ments of Mr.. Collier, who sent
word it was for the elephant to
eat. Next came man who in
PRODUCED himself as Prof. May,
a professional elephant trainer,
who caused the garage floor to be
strengthened. The elephant ar
rived at night and when Mr.,
IClemens went to view his gift he
discovered in the garage paper
elephant about as big as a full
grOWn cow.

Disinfectants.

A recent medical journal gives
the following: THE best natur-
al disinfectant, sunshine; best
germ disinfectant, formal d e.
hyde; best physical disinfectant,
soap; best moral disinfectant,
publicity"
Thus quotes the Ladies Home
Journal, and we repeat it be-
cause nowhere in six lines Of
print will you find compressed
so much information and wisdom.
In this form it can be easily re-
membered, and should be memo
rized.
Physicians have long preached
the efficacy of sunshine as a dis
infectant of disease. tits preach
ed anew in the now hopeful crus'
ade against tuberculosis, al
though true of nearly every other
disease. And it is all the better
for humanity to know the virtues
of soap if they would attain thai
cleanliness, which good Johr
Wesley thought next to godll
ness. Of formaldehyde, let med
|ical science speak.
The most significant point il
this quotation is that publiclt.
lis the moral disinfectant. l
would seem that every one Woul'
agree to this, but no deed OF evl
| is ever done but the first impuls
is to conceal it, even as Adar

cate the publication of evil doing'
arguing that it teaches evil
others. 1t may incidentally q
that. but where one such Learn

dred learn to fear it's cons

1t is true that through public
ty many innocent persons wi
love the sinner are brought
suffering and shame, but this all
lis an memorable law that throul
our common humanity many l
Ia nocent suffer because OF one tn

THE ROOSEVELT CHARACTER.

THE ROOSEVELT CHARACTER.
Ex-President Roosevelt Is off for
Africa, and new man is wrestling
with the great problems that con-
front great nation In the process
OF making. 1t is interesting to note
the variety of opinions concerning
the character and work OF the retir-
Ing president. Opinions OF the man
may depend largely up on the char
acter and interests of the critics. One
regards him as the most imposing
figure, the greatest epoch maker In
American history. Another fervent-
ly prays that the new administra-
tion may be able to restore order
from the confusion and chaos left
by It's predecessor.
Well, Roosevelt did make some
noise; but so did Solomon's work
men In hewing cedars in Lebanon
and chlselling marble In the quarrles
to build the temple. The temple It.
self may have risen without noise;
but 1t required noise somewhere to
prepare the material.
Our nation had outgrown the
staid domestic, we might say Chin
ese, policy of Washington's time
and Roosevelt was great enough to
see II. America could not have
world commerce and have no voice
In international affairs. That her
voice Is heard and respected as is
no other Is due, In large measure,
to the man now on his way to Africa.
That government, commerce, So
ciety and public conscience were
held In the grip OF a moneyed oil
garchy none can deny; and the drift
towards an abiect worship of the
power that enslayed was only too
evident in the elevation OF financial
success to the supreme place I'm com
merclal' professional and social lIfe.
And, what was still worse that same
worship was become more and more
n factor In those institutions that
have for their end the formation of
character, the church and the school.
Moral crookedncss in business. over
riding public rights and public NOR
ais were atoned for by the endow-
ment Of religious and educational
institutions, Financial success placed
man above the law that controlled
lessor beings A Moses was needed
to break the bonds, and history viii
write the name OF Roosevelt as the
man who changed the current of
American llfc the one whose admin
istratlon was marked by revival |
of national civic Righteousness.

PENNSYLVANIA STATE GRANGE
The Next Annual Meeting to Be Held
at Altoona In December.

at Altoona In December.
The next annual meeting Of the
Pennsylvania state grange will be held
In Altoona in December The full
corps of officers will be elected for
term of two years. State Master Hill
is working hard to make the member
ship Of that state 100000, In a recent
address he said
Among the fraternal organizations
there Is none more potent than the
grange. II came into existence forty
one years ago to fill want. 1t con
tinnes to live and gain in strength and
influence because 1t meets the social,
educational, political and financial
needs existing throughout the country
today. Farmers in Pennsylvania rely
upon the grange now rs never before.
and this nonpartlsan, nonsectaran or
ganlZation never hesltates to assume
leadership for the betterment Of farm
conditions and the development Of
strong rural citizenship"
A correspondent writing Of grange
work in Pennsylvania says that the
grange Is making very satisfactory
growth in that state Since the last
state grange meeting twenty-one new
oranges have been organized and six
dormant ones reorgan.Zel and one Po-
mona organized The limitations in the
old oranges are fully equal to any
period during the year. lie further
said:
we are good deal worked up over
the question Of representation in the
national grange, and no less so at the
arbitrary way in which the national
grange authorities dictate as to where
the Order shall be planted and where
not. That states which do not have
MS many oranges In them all told as
we have organized since the list OF
January shall go to the next national
grange meeting and have as much to

in this state there must be justice done.

In connection with the above we
would make suggestion. Many
young men agree that the contention
is well grounded that Women have
been forced further into Industrial
competition than is good for them"
and they go farther and claim that
this very competition makes It al
most impossible for a young man to
maintain, according to modern
standards, a home and a family. In
this we see the law of action and
reaction. The bachelor woman Is
not in business for her health, nor
Is she taking mans place as the
bread-winner because she likes il.
The great nationl curses, the drink
habit and the social evil, have dew
astated so many homes that many
pure women shrink from forming
relations that can only bring them
misery and suffering. She must
live, and since man abdicates his
throne there is nothing left for her
but to occupy II.
On the other hand these very
evils have so permeated society that
II has become the custom for young
men to scott at the marriage rela-
tlon, and they are deliberately
shlrking that duty and right of pro-
lection" of which Mr. Root speaks.
The men are largely responsible for
the advent Of so many young women
into the business life. Let these
young fellows who find Il so much
more to their taste to play the but
terfly through the short summer Of
life come forward, make men Of
themselves and then assume that
duty and assert that right. In lieu
of this let them help the public in
another way The family not the
individual, is the nation. The man
who shIrks the family relation oc-
n"ies the place Of the drone in the
'lye. In the economy of nature that
which does not tend to the advance
ment of the whole must be cast out.
My suggestion comes in here: In
stead Of an occupation tax here in
Grants Pass, let us have stiff tax
on all bachelors who have passed the
age of twenty-five years. If they
are, as they claim, enjoying exalted
privileges, let them pay society
p equivalent

arising from ignorance Of the masses
then the true policy is to have such
system as will reach and lift up
those who are not able to educate
themselves. All are taxed to main
tain the system, consequently 1t
should be so adjusted as TO meet the
needs of those whose condition
makes such assistance necessary and
who will most profit by it.
The abolition Of the normals, II
It compels the putting in OF a strong
normal course in the high schools
will prove a blessing to many who
could not, under present conditions,
avail themselves OF such course
And the abolition of the normals will
in time, we believe, be followed by
the abolition OF the state universi-
ties. The cost of tuition is but
small part Of the sum total Of the ex-
pense of students education; and
under the existing conditions few
boys and girls can, with the excep-
tion Of those in the immediate vicin-
ity of the institution, take advantage
Of the university unless they have
resources sufficient to maintain
themselves at one of the great priv
ate or endowed colleges. Our east
ern counties are taxed to support an
institution to which the very class
which most needing education is, by
the very remoteness, denied access.
The best work in higher education
is not being done by institutions un-
der state control, but by endowed
colleges and universities.
Popular education means the edu-
cation of the masses, not that of the
favored few, and we believe the
time will come when there will be
abundant facilities in all our high
schools for the preparation of teach
ers for common or grammar school
work, and the higher learning will
be left to those institutions that are
being so splendidly equipped for
specializing by our money kings.
These getters Of money need some
outlet for their gains, and we know
of nothing better than relieving the
state Of a task which is not hers in
the sense of educating for public de-
fense.
One great gain in such a change
Of policy would be that there would
be a smaller number Of misfits in the
professions and more men for the
shop and field.
