Other peoples poems are not often
quoted in this column; but here is one
by a gifted young American poet
which opens a large range of thought
1t makes us realize as we read how
seldom any one of us says just what
is in his mind, in these modern CIV
ilized days when under the stress Of
strong feeling.
You are an artist, perhaps; and a
picture of yours has been on exhibit
ton; and you meet an acquaintance
on the street who has to your certain
knowledge said that your picture was
the worst daub he ever saw. He stops
you with a pleasant word Of greeting;
and you shake his hand and hope he
is well, and perhaps you tell him how
finely he is looking; and all the while
you are thinking what a mean and
malicious tongue he carries, and what
cad he is. Your impulse is to use a
whip over his shoulders.
Perhaps you are an actor or an
author, and owing to tactless hos
tess you sit at dinner beside your
most merciless critic, one who has

LET US HAVE A PEERAGE.

The American government is defec-
tive in one important particular,
wherein that of Great Britain possess
es a convenient device for getting rid
of useless and disagreeable govern
mental factors in polite and pleas
ant manner. President Taft has sew
eral such political membranes on
his hands. He would probably be
glad to have some convenient berth
in which to lodge officials where they
might slumber content and harmless.
In Great Britain, when a member
of the cabinet achieves great popu-
larity or becomes an obstruction to
party measures or a menace to his
party's reputation, it is very simple
matter to make him peer. With this
useful certificate he may have seat
in the house of lords where his OBJ
structionist tactics will do no one any
great harm, where his unpopularity
will be a mark of distinction, where
he may go or come or sleep in his
seat without disturbing the nation or
the peace of his party.
We must have peerage in the
United States. Think of what relief

IMMORTALITY.

Immortality" is the title of IA new
poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, from
which we quote:
1--WE cannot follow our own hayward
wills,
And feed our baser appetites and
give
Loose reins to foolish tempers year
on year,
And then cry Lord forgive me,
believe
And straightway battle in glory
And yet that is what the thief on
the cross is said to have done. But
of course that is only Bible lore; and
in this enlightened age, and with Ella s
advanced ideas and higher thinking
she has no doubt discovered that the
musty old book she has heard so much
about and read so little, ''is a Gun
ningly devised fable" and the THE
did not meet Christ in paradise tha
day at all.
1t would be rather a grim joke OF
the immortal authoress of the Poem:
of Passion" if the thief should lool
down on her some of these days, anC
say, Dear old girl, you got the wroni
dope"

Count 100 Before You Strike.

Civilized man has learned by the ex-
perience of others that nothing is
gained and much is lost by express
ing every emotion which dominates
him. He has learned, too, from per
sonal experience, that the emotion of
today is not the emotion of tomorrow
and that it is we'll to count one hun
dred" before he says what his anger
would utter.
He has, in truth, learned to use judg-
ment and common sense, instead OF
giving way utterly to impulse.
The actor and artist and author
have learned by treating the crit
ic with Indifference or amiability, and
by conserving their vital forces fol-
better work, to win his praise
eventually; and this is greater tri
umph than would be gained by slap
ping his face.
The woman has learned that she
does not keep her lover, or win him
back, by tearing the hair of her rival
but by being more amiable, sweeter
and better bred than the other wo
man, and by ignoring the situation she
saves herself great humiliation ant
runs the chance of coming out vic

it would have been to our genial preSi-
dent to have been able to alleviate
Richard Achilles Ballinger, secretary
of the interior and late head of the
land office and attorney for Alaskan
coal land grabbers, to a peerage in
stead of being forced to make public
defense of the indefensible conduct OF
this high official and see his defense
torn to shreds in public by the press.
Would President Taft not welcome a
peerage as cold storage for hot in
surgents? Old Cannon is in the way
too, these days, and his fall, if ii
takes place in the public and with the
disrepute which would be the natural
consequence of his record, would tear
away some of the mainstays of the
party Would not a peerage be a
pleasant solution of the problem he
presents?
A peerage is a universal melting
pot in which all discords and all per
sonalities are easily run into one
fluid indiscriminate mass. With a
peerage for political superfuities
Taft could have his quiet days. We
have the supreme court, of course, but
how much more appropriate would q
house of lords be for distinguished
diplomats like Secretary Knox, who
deserves some such honor as this fol
his distinguished service in the Mic
araguan affair and in the settlement
of the Manchurian railway dispute.
By all means let us have a peerage
President Taft could fill it from his
own political household in a few
weeks.-New Orleans Item.

BRUTEs AND ANGELS.

It Is officially announced that all
arrangements have been made for the
.Ieffries-Johnson fight on July 4, and
the price of seats will range from five
to fifty dollars; it is estimated that
the box receipts will be in the neigh
borhood of half a million dollars. In
another dispatch we learn that Father
Courardy is dying of leprosy near
Canton, China He had spent eight
wears in the Sandwich Islands among
Iepers. and before going to China he
had lectured two years in the United
states. he realized about $4,000 with
which he bought an island, built shell
ters for about 500 lepers, and invested
the balance of the money, supporting
the unfortunates on the income. The
iuxtaposition of the two items speaks
for itself. In the other instance over
twenty thousand supposedly intelli-
eent and refined men will pay an
average of twenty dollars or so to
witness the spectacle of two brutes
pummeIing each other until one or
the other is knocked out In the other
a frail priest, God-like in his mercy
and self-sacrifice is giving up his life
on the altar of a broad humanity ION

CONCLUSIVE PROOF.

A certain Captain in the army was
summoned by his Colonel to answer a
charge of assault preferred against
him by sentry, who had stated that
the officer had used him pretty rough
ly one evening at the gate of the bar
racks.
A humorous phase of the affair was
that the officer apparently had no
recollection of the alleged assault
The sentry had made SO bold as to
declare that the officer was intoXicat-
ed.
Among those questioned was the
Captains orderly, an Irishman, who
protested vigorously that the allega
ton of the sentry was slander-that
