A MISUSED WORD.

What is populism anyway? A
few weeks ago a New York paper
denounced Governor Hughes direct
nomination bill as "a flower of the
populistic fancy" Speaker Cannon,
'uuriI3 the attempt to revise the
House rules referred scathingly to
that movment as populistic. A
Southern Democrat, the other day,
bitterly assailed William Jennings
Bryan as a populist for his belief in
Government ownership of railways.
Do these uses of the word show pre-
eisely what populism is? Not at
at all.
Populism, whatever it is, or is
not, has been abroad in the land
for long time. Railroad rate reg
ulation was populistic, insurance
legislation was populistic, and the
income tax law was a very bad case
of it indeed.
Whenever, in the name of profits,
three or four gentlemen with bank
accounts like dirigible balloons and
faces like asphalt pavements gather
dollar dinners to protect against
popular legislation, the word popu-
lism has a very busy evening. =.
We think we have the secret at
last. Populism is not a political be-
lief, nor religion, nor a disease,
nor breakfast food. 1t is an
epithet.
In the progress of the country to-
ward a broader and deeper democ-
racy, men will propose laws for
direct nominations, for initiative and
referendum, for recall, for control
and ownership of public utilities.
If these proposals interfere with
your happiness or your plans, and
argument is distasteful to your re-
fned nature, you need not despair.
You can call these schemes populis-
tic. There Is always a chance that
somewhere with some doddering,
simple soul, that will pass as argu-
ment.

WORTH KNOWING.

1t appears from two decisions late
ly made by the Superior Court of
this State that the owner of horse
has still some rights with regard to
the actions of other people tending
to frighten the same. In other
words, brass bands and automobiles,
under these decisions, have to be
handled with care.
In the brass band case, the Court
practically held that a brass band
had no right to take its stand at the
intersection of two streets, gather a
crowd around it and play with their
drums and horns in such a way as
to frighten the horse of a man driv-
ing by at the time.
In the case of the automobiles, the
Court held that the operator of an
automobile had no right to discharge
from the same a volume of vapo1
with kissing sound and strong odo1
in such a way as to frighten a horse
standing near by.
1t looks as though the Court had
commenced to take cognizance OF
these matters and to hold persons
occupying the streets and making
unusual noises frightening horses tc
strict accountability for their acts
and it would be wise for persons sc
offending against the public to take
notice.

ANOTHER STEP AHEAD.

A discovery which will bring great
satisfaction to the timid who fear
to be put in a condition they lose
consciousness is reported in a tele-
gram to the State Department at
Washington by the consul general
at Bucharest, Roumania. This is
an anaesthetic, combination of
strychnine and storain, discovered
by a surgeon of Bucharest and from
the application of which the patient
does not lose mental consciousness.
1t is injected in the spine for opera
tions below the waist and in the
neck for operations above. DR..
Bannyryall, the consul general re-
ports, has taken some of anaesthetic
to London.

DIDN'T WORRY HIM.
An Emergency Message That Failed Of
Its Purpose.

An Emergency Message That Failed Of
Its Purpose.
Al The last session of congress there
was very close division on an i'm
portant measure that was pending. A
western member was fighting the bill
with all of the vigor at his command.
and his success depended absolutely
ON his presence at his post. A clever
member of the opposition devised a
scheme whereby the troublesome man
tould be lured away. Accordingly on
the morning of the day the vote was
to be taken a telegram was sent to the
hotel of the fighting member. 1t read:
"Come home at once. Your wife is
dangerously ILL.," The congressman
glanced at it, read it carefully two or
three times and then started toward
the capitol. The perpetrator of the
scheme asked the congressman what
the telegram contained. He showed it
to him.
"What! gasped the inquirer, land
in the face of that are you going to the
capitol"
81 am" was the cool response.
"But don't you feel worried about
your wife,"
"Not in the least" was the reply.
"Why?" asked the other
Because" replied the fighting men,
ber, 81 have no wife"

WAR ON THE CIGARETTE.

The legislature of the state of
Washington has just passed an act
making it a misdemeanor for any
person to smoke, have in his posses
sion or offer for sale cigarettes in
the state. The act provides for the
arrest of any person who uses cigar
cites and the police authorities are
instructed to enforce the law on all
persons within the confines of the
state, whether they be citizens or
visitors. This means that visitors
to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposi-
tion will be prohibited from indulg-
ing in the brain-wrecking cigarettes,
which will serve to make the exposi-
tion a more pleasant place to visit
than it would have otherwise been.
Why does a state legislature enact
a law of this kind? Not because it
desires to prevent any person enjoy
ing the pleasures of the life. Not
because the legislature wishes to re-
strain the people in their liberties.
Not because there is desire to OPP
press anybody. The act was passed
and boys of the state whose mental
end physical health is endangered
by the use of the cigarettes. Other
states will in time find it to the ad-
vantage of the public to prohibit
the use of cigarettes and these
menaces to the well-being of the
boys and young men will be rele-
gated to the fashionable clubs fire.

CLOSING EXERCISES OF SCHOOL.

Miss Keen's school closed Friday,
June Is, with the usual spelling
contest. First in order choosing
sides" Frances Prosch and Rus
sell Martin were drawn "choosers"
and after two rounds Frances side
won by two.
The exercises were varied some
what, for the b. Glass gave the
route from Honesdale to Seattle,
naming the states passed through,
giving their capitals, boundaries;
few facts about Alaska, Yukon,
Japan, China and the manner in
which the Fair was opened by
President Taft at Washington sew
eral thousand miles away, Pacific
time, Washington time. Then came
the contest for the B Glass in which
only one word was misspelled and
this pupil had been absent. The A
Glass stopped on the way to the
Fair to visit Yellowstone Park Gall
their words were taken from this
journey. The following had short
essays on some of the most interest
ing features. Mildred Ward Extent
of the Reservation, time when set
apart by Congress. Irma Bond
Great Lava entrance, government,
etc. Kenneth Uglow. The unique
railway station, geysers paint pots;
Ruery Garrett, mountain scenery as
compared with Switzerland; Frances
Prosh, Obsidian cliff, or mountain
of glass, the way of constructing the
only glass roadway in the world !;
Josephine Dewitt Yellowstone lake,
I river, canyon, etc, marvellous col
ors, blending of colors, and finished
| by wondering that everyone had not
made an effort to visit Uncle Sam S
playground.
In the final contest for A Glass
not one word was misspelled. Emily
Holland, a former pupil, spelled
with them.

Spoke we'll On graduation day.
She looked alluring in white togs,
And when she'd said her high broWed

All vowed 1t was the proper caper
To print 1t in the local paper.
1t made four coIumns-something DER
And Sarah read 1t through with pride.
She marveled at it's wondrous lore
And Joy at reading could not hide,
For to this maid just graduating
Her words In type were fascinating.
But Sarah had Mysteries wild

That was a brave lady who was
witnessing a baseball game and when
the bats were all broken took off her
wooden leg and handed it to her
favorite and told him to take it and
make a home run. When a female
rooter is that intense, to be sure it
is the National Game and no mis-
take.

The Supreme Court having, it is

quite certain that the railroads af-
