ment Of young Hays apprenticeship
to the great emancipation.
But with all his distinguished serv-
ice to his country and the world, Sen
ator Root goes to his private life and
character for the real Spirit of John
Hay" and describes II thus:
The spirit Of John Hay made Il impossi-
bic for others to continue narrow and petty
in dealing with him; and, guided by his
sensitive appreciation Of the character and
feelings Of others. made effective by wis
dom and skill. that pure and noble spirit
achieved a great work for the country he
loved. The principles OF Christian ethics
controlled his judgments. His nature had
its penalties. He shrunS from rude, per-
sonal contact In his later years the pros
pect OF public appearance made him pos
itively IN for days before the time arrived.
Such a tribute from Senator Root
who knew Mr. Hay intimately, is
worth preserving as a genuine index
to one of the really sublime characters
the United States has produced.

Heroes and Small Towns.

Fifty-eight names we're added to
the Carnegie hero list the other day
and the residence of each hero was
mentioned with his name. This showed
that in nearly every case the prize
winner lived in the country. a small
town or city and that in but two cases
did they reside in a large city. The
home of one was in Los Angeles, an
other in Washington.
One might infer from this expo
sition that heroes were scArcer in the
large cities than in the country or
small towns. He would certainly have
right TO form some such opinion.
But, perhaps, 1t would not be fair or
right TO affirm that the people OF the
large cities were not as brave as those
Of the other communities. Yet II can
not be argued that accidents and oc-
easions for heroism are not much
more numerous in the esnters Of
great population than elsewhere.
What probably Is true is that psO-
pie in the larger places are less appre-
henslVo Of the safety Of others than

Postage Changes.

AS a step toward 1-cent letter post
age Postmaster General Hitchcock is
earnestly DESTROYS of making the vari-
Gus classes of mail matter pay their
own way and to that extent relieve the
postal deficit they have been helping
to produce. The hearings and investi-
cations on this subject last year devel-
Oped tn indisputable fact that the
monthly magazines and national week
lies are the worst deadheads among
the postofice passengers and that on
these the postofiice has been getting
only the costly long hauls, while the
profitable short-distsnce business goes
to the express companies. That there
should be some kind of readjustment
to minimize this abuse has been gem
orally conceded.
To solve this problem Postmaster
General Hitchcock now makes a new
proposal which he expects to recon-
mend to congress by which two differ
emit rates Of postage should be exacted
from publishers of magazines and
periodicals, carrying the reading mat
ter pages at the present rate and ex-
acting a higher rate for the pages sold
to advertisers. With due regard to
the postmaster generals cogent rea-
sons for making magazines and peri
odicals pay more compensatory post
age for carrying through the mails,
the basing of the postage rate on a
separation of advertising and reading
to work out we'll in practice Such a
scheme would require a separate de-
termination of the postage charge on
each issue of every periodical, making
an unnecessary multiplicity of detail
We still believe that the way to
solve this problem is the one which
The Bee urged when this subject was
last at issue-through the creation OF
new and intermediate class of mail
matter for magazines and periodicals
to be carried at rates somewhere be-
tween those now exacted for second
class and for third class matter and
calculated upon the average cost to
the government Of Transporting such
mail matter. A separate postage
classification for magazines and peri
odicals would be simple and direct
would raise the necessary revenue ant
avoid the present loss on that part o.
the postal business and would leav,
the fewest openings for interminabl,
disputes and controversies.

The Spirit of John Hay.

Senator Roots eulOgy OF the late
John Hay at Brown university on the
occasion of the dedication of the John
Hay library is an almost perfect
tribute to one of the great men whose
lives and influence stand apart in
American history as their own monu-
ments. Senator Root we'll said:
1 think he would not greatly desire that
statues and columns be erected In his MEM
DRY; that he sought for no monument other
than the perpetual existence OF the repub-
lie into whose structure he had wrought
his life.
Towering shafts OF marble and
granite seem to mock lives like that
of John Hay. They stand over the
tombs of SO many other lesser tights
that they lose their meaning for such
as he. 1t was the John Hays that the
immortal Gray had in mind when he
wrote;
Nor you, ye proud, impute to these the
fault
If memory Ger their tOmbs no trophies
raise;
Through lOng-drawn aisle and fretted
vault.
The pealing anthem swells their note of
praise.
In some Of the greatest achieve
ments of late American history the
world may find enduring monument
to the memory OF John Hay. Every
time in the future a great transport
glides from the Pacific to the Atlanti,
through the Panama canal It will pay
tribute to him and his service. Ever,

Oooident and Orient.

People who have stood in awe at
the vast awakening in the orient, par
ticularly in Japan and China, may get
some idea of how much is yet to be
done to arouse these countries COM
pletely from their sleep of the ages by
noting the hold superstition still has
upon them. The other day Japa-
nese newspaper urged a Japanese ex-
plorer who had tried and failed to
reach the North Pole to commit sui
eide. This isolated incident serves to
illustrate the point. It draws a line
of distinction between the occidental
and oriental mind and their relative
stages of progress.
Our sort of civilization obviously
has a long distance to travel in this
aggressive little island kingdom. II
is the oriental anchor of ancient super
stition that is exactly the obstacle with
which the civilization of the occident
must expect to contend for years to
come. The japanese and the Chinese
when we consider racial traditions,
their mode of worship with all its train
of enslaving superstitiOns, have made
even more wonderful progress toward
the goal of intellectual emancipation
than they have been credited with.
But one may get some conception OF
the state of the Japanese or Chinese
mind by imagining a newspaper in the
United States seriously advocating
such a barbaric custom and the eject
it would have upon the public. Dur.
ing the Japanese-Chinese war this Gus.
tom Of self-destruction was frequently
practiced, but the allusion to it at thiI
time is a disappointing reminder that
the orient still lags far behind the oc
cident in the race of destiny.

After the Robbie. What1

This is the season when women's
thoughts lightly turn to fashion. and
some OF the uninitiated are wondering
what that imperious dame has IN store
for them as the successor of the hob
BILE skirt. Skirts Of late have betrayed
nearly as much caprice as the transit
tory waist line and so as a subject of
speculation they are of interest even
to the men, and actively so, too.
With all the cynicism INDUCED at
the expense of the hObble skirt, it has
some elements to commend 1t. For
instance, it fits more closely than
some other patterns and, therefore, re-
Quires less cloth. This is quite an
item in these times of high prices, or
ought to be, and by the men. at least,
must be appreciated. But there is an
additional feature of the hObble skirt
which suggests sanity, and that is that
It does not collect loose objects along
the street as did the flowing train,
which was in vogue some years ago.
Here, then, are two good points in the
entwining garment. Women might
even be able to find others; we do not
know.
One. thing seems certain, the sue
cessor to this device will not be Gre
ated upon any more restricted lines.
The change must be in the other d.
rection. The gamut OF volume has
been about completed. 1t has been
run from one extreme to the other and
can go no further in the direction OF
present styles. Are We, then, to begin
all over again and gradually work
back along the same lines, or will the
new fRds strike in at some inter
mediary point and work out by de-
grees one way or the Other2 II the
tendency in hats may be taken as any
criterion as to what may happen in
the skirt line, mere man might take
his choice of considering whether he
had room for hope or not.
