The death of Edward Everett
Hale last week removed one of the
last of the nineteenth century HUI
manitarians of national fame. His
last public appearance was at the
celebration of the birthday of Julia
Ward Howe, who is still bright and
alert in mind, though a few years
older than DR.. Hale, who was 81.
DR.. Hale has been chaplain of the
United States senate since 1903, and
is recognized as worthy of the de-
gree aptly conferred upon him by
an admirer, as Professor of Amer
icanism." His MAN Without a
Country" is familiar to every school
boy and is one of many literary
works by Doctor Hale which teaches
high ideals of Americanism and pa
triotism. The motto he selected for
the famous Lend a Hand society
formed by him is a good enough
creed for any one: Look up and not
down, look forward and not back,
look out and not in; lend hand"

It makes western Republicans hot
to see prospects for free lumber
going up in smoke.

Frank Day for congress in the
second district and Representative
Hammond for governor is said to be
the Democratic program. but not
with authority. Congressman Ham
mond would come as near getting
into Johnson's shoes as any Demo-
crat we can think of, but Frank
Day is too wise politician to trust
to the popular vote in the second
district. None of the nominations
made for next years campaign have
aroused any enthusiasm so far in
this part of the world.

aking chances on a change.

The Renville board of county
commissioners last week designated
the town line roads between Morton
and Olivia and north of Olivia be-
tween Kingman and Winfield as a
state road, a large number Of Nor
ton business men being present to
urge this action. The Morton
boosters urged the fact that there
are several gravel pits along the line
proposed and that Morton expects
to have stone crushing machine in
operation in the near future. The
commissioners are to take further
action towards making a start at the
July meeting.

The papers of this congressional
district are giving it out with an I'M
animity that ought to be convincing
that it is useless for aspiring states

Almost every newspaper is taking
a crack at the cow inspection law
passed by the last legislature, Ralph
Wheelock of the Pioneer Press aptly
observing that the COW inspectors
Job is in the nature of a bull that
even the calves are laughing at.
Gov. Johnson, through his executive
clerk, Harvey Grimmer, is trying to
hedge for his part in signing the
bill, Grimmer writing to Minneota
man that as the enforcement of the
law is in the hands of the dairy and
food department, Il shall be glad to
use whatever little influence | may
have with that department in seeing
that it is not enforced very strictly
as againstithose who sell the milk of
one cow" Had the state provided
for an adequate tuberculin test of
every cow licensed, the law might
be defensible, but the so-called in
spectors do not inspect.

Mrs. Howe's Vision.

The venerable Julia Ward Howe
describes vision which she claims
to have had recently, which is worthy
of publication for it's hopefulness,
whether. the dream comes true or
not.
lone night, recently, l exper-
fenced a sudden awakening. l had
a vision of a new era which is to
dawn for mankind and in which
men and women are battling equally
unitedly, for the uplifting and
emancipation of the race from evil.
Il saw men and women of every
cline working like bees to unwrap
the evils of society and to discover
the whole web of vice and misery,
and to apply the remedies and also
to find the influences that should
best counteract evil and its attend
ing suffering.
There seemed to be a new, a
wondrous, ever-permeating light,
the glory Of which l cannot attempt
to put in human words-the light of
new. born hope and sympathy blaz-
ing. The source of this light was
human endeavor- immortal purpose
of countless thousands of men and
women, who were equally doing
their part in the world.
II saw the men and women, all
standing side by side, shoulder to
shoulder, a common, lofty and in
domitable purpose lighting every
face with glory not of this earth.
All were advancing with one end in
view, one foe to trample. one ever
lasting good to gain.

The Monkey and the Pie.

An Indian faker had monkey that
he had brought up from babyhOOd,
says an English writer The pair were
fast friends. the monkey being a faith
full attendant on his master and as
good as a Watchdog One day the
faker made a pie for dinner and left
it TO cook on a charcoal fire while he
went for a walk. AS the cooking pro-
ceeded the Savory smell was too much
for the monkey 1t raised the crust
and tasted the chicken. Finding the
food very tasty. it ate more and more
until nothing but the crust remained.
Then it remembered it's master. who
would shortly return hungry and ready
to enjoy his meal. What was to be
done? The sharp eyes of the monkey
detected some crows not far away, so
without loss Of time it lay down on
the ground as if dead. By and by a
crow came along and pecked at the
monkey, which seized the bird in a
twinkling, strangled it, stripped off the
feathers, placed it in pieces in the
dish, covered it over with the crust
and then contentedly awaited the re-
turn of the faker, to whom the whole
incident was related by an eyewitness.

Left Handed Vituperatives.

Most counties in England have their
idiomatic expressions to denote left
handedness, and they are often pre-
fixed to the unfortunate left handed
child's name. In London the term is
kack handed, the word being also
equivalent to awkward. In Lanca-
shire it is k-pawed, in Yorkshire gal
lock or gawk handed, an expression
dating back to at least the seventeenth
century. In Derbyshire are used the
terms key handed cork handed and
corky handed. while in the Teesdale
district cuddy handed is common and
in Nottingha mshire wallet handed.
In the south of England special
terms to denote left handedness are
also found. In Dorset it is scrame
handed and in DevOnshire cOOchy
handed. In Scotland we find gawk
handed and in the west cawry handed.
In Ireland a left handed man is called
kithogue. Tim Healy used this word
in a speech at East Wicklow. in which
he said that Mr.. O'Kelly could fight
with his left hand and had already
given his opponent some "kithogues"
that would spoil his political beauty
during the contest.-London Chronicle
Cid English Fine.
In the past if one Englishman called
another liar there was something to
pay. The seventeenth century mayor.

were keen on this point of etiquette.

And there was a reduction on repeti-

Swearing, too, was promptly sup
pressed. In 1850 law was passed
laying down the penalty for first
offense. The fines were graduated.
That for lord was 80 shillings ($7.20),
for an esquire 10 shillings ($2.40). while
all inferior persons" could have a

town 1.-THE queen city" Development
the passion-almost the fetish. Better
business, better buildings, better streets,
streets, better farms, better trans
pOrtation, better government-back of it
all is the booster. But the greatest
marvel he has wrought is his organiza-
tion-the booster clubs, development
leagues, promotion committees and
commercial chambers, all the work OF
practically the last half dozen years.
1t is the outgrowth of that supreme
confidence, born of his own experience,
in what he can expect in return from
the place he lives in He knows what
land will do. But back of it, too, is the
native optimism, the fine frenzy of spirit
that is his heritage from the pioneers
who came before him and hewed their
way through the wilderness to the sea.
1t is this optimism and intrepidity, to-
gether with the esprit de corps that goes
naturally with it, that has made new
empire in a decade and turned the tide
of national commercial activity toward
the Pacific. Booster, yes. and proud
