LEARNING ENGLISH.

It's not all milk and honey for some
immigrants who land in New York.
Sometimes Us ham and eggs. For
example:
A son Of southern Europe arrived
recently and found here a number
Of friends from home He ate at a
cheap restaurant. His friends re-
fused to give him his native equiva-
lent for the various dishes on the
bill Of fare-on the theory that the
quickest way to earn English is by
compulsion
The newcomer fastened one dish
IN his mind-ham and eggs. Beyond
this he was unable to 60 for some
time. The result was that he felt
It incumbent on him TO order this
dish at breakfast. dinner and sup
per. He followed this rule three
weeks. He consumed SO plates of
ham and eggs in 81 days. Then his
stomach rebelled and by bribing the
caterer he mastered half a dozen
other dishes with hard study.
He declares he never wishes to see
piece Of ham or an egg again. But
his friends are jubilant. They have
proved their theory.

SUPERVISION NEEDED.

AS result of the creation of the
state railway commission the railway
service has been improved in many
instances and rates reductions have
been made The railway commission
has represented the interests of the
public The commissioners have in
vestigated conditions and when they
have found that the public was not
receiving proper service it has recon-
mended improvements and in most in
stances at least those recommenda-
tions have been granted by the rail-
road companies. Some very good re-
ductions in freight and express
charges have also been brought about.
Now if the commission plan for
regulating the railroad business works
well why not carry that principle
farther? why not have commits
sion to deal with the telephone com
pany and possibly with other con-
Germs that enjoy ,monopoles in their
respective lines?
At this time the Pacific telephone
company is not giving the public the
service to which it is entitled in vi,w
OF the charges made. That company
seems to be following the principle
of charging all the business will stand
and Of giving the cheapest service
possible It will very likely follow
this course just as long as the public
permits the company to do so.

supervision.

seeing that those who start attend
ing school finish school or at least
take sufficient work to fit them for
ordinary life.
At this time there is an enormous
loss between the first grade and the
senior year in the high school. In
san Francisco this year there were
$500 boys in the first grade and only
500 boys in the eighth grade class,
Take the situation in this city.
Lcok at the number of pupils in each
OF the lower grades and then at those
who complete the senior year in the
high school. This years high school
class numbered 90 and it was the
largest class in the history of the
city. This number is ridiculously
small as compared with the number
entering the public schools each year.
Il is small compared with the number
oc freshmen entering the high school
each fall
1t is evident that the laws requir-
7 ing attendance at the public school:
are not being enforced, There is ar
enormous loss between the first grade
and the eighth and an even greater
loss between the first grade and th'
senior class of the high school. A
result we have large percentag,
o. children growing up and entering
active life without having been suf
ficiently educated and disciplined
From the ranks of the uneducate,
and undisciplined come the delin
ouents and the adult criminals an
paupers.
1t is time for educators to give at
tcntion to this phase of the conser
vation question.

POLITICAL REALIGNMENT?

In national politics the greatest fea-
ture at present is that regarding the
status of the insurgent or progressive
element in the republican party, in
congress and out.
There are those who contend that
the progressives are not true repub-
ncans, but that true republicanism is
represented by such men as Senator
Aldrich, Speaker Cannon, Secretary
Hitchcock and others. In other words
the organization or conservative wing
Of the party constitutes the party.
On the other hand there are those
who take the opposite stand.
The republican party was born Of
the spirit of progress and freedomz
When the temper of standing pat has
prevailed the party has lost ground
with the people" says the Spokesman
Review when the mood of march
ing forward has dominated republic
anism has generally received indorse-
ment from the voters. The insurgent
within the organization has been its
political salvation.
Senators Beveridge and Cummins.
Representative Norris and Poindexter
and other progressive representatives
and senator's are insurgent republic
ans who are regular republicans.
Every insurgent congressman has been
regularly nominated. elected by re-
publican votes and recognized by the
regular leaders as republican mem
bers of congress. All OF these con-
gressionaI insurgents participate IN
the republican caucuses, in the election
II republican members Of the congress
sional committees and in originating
republican legislation"
All this is very true Originally the
republican party was the progressive
or liberal party Of this country.
Abraham Lincoln was the first great
leader Of that party But for many
years past the republican party has
been the conservative party while the
democratic party has been more the
party Of liberalism. At this time
though the democratic party is al
most as hopelessly divided as is the
republican party There are liberal
democrats and conservative demo-
Gratis
The trouble arises from the fact
that the present political lines were
drawn At day when conditions were
absolutely different from those OF the
present. They were drawn with more
regard for sectionalism than economic
issues. The democratic party is the
party Of the south and seemingly al
ways will be as long as it exists.
But such an alignment as this is
confusing and is not productive OF
the best results. Neither party car
really rule for the reason that the
dissenting element within the domi'
nant party will cooperate with the
corresponding element in the oppos'
ing party and thwart legislation
This was done when the democrati
were in power during Cleveland's las
administration. It is being done un
der the present administrator.
Logically there should be two grea
political parties and II they wer'
formed in accordance with presen
conditions one would be the conserva
tive party and the other the progres
sive or liberal party At this tim
there are indications that the presen
fareial alignments will be changed

Green be your woods and fair your
flowers
Your waters never drumlie!
There Summer first unfurls her
robes
And there the Largest tarry;
For there 7 took the last farewell
Omy sweet Highland Mary
How sweetly bloomed the gay green
birk
How rich the hawthorn's blossom
AS underneath their fragrant shade
7 clasped her to my bosom
The golden hours on angel wings
Flew DER me and my dearie;
For dear to me as light and life
Was my sweet Highland Mary.
WI many vow and locked embrace
Our parting was fu' tender;
And pledging aft to meet again,
We tore ourselves asunder;
But O, fell deaths untimely frost
That nipt my flower sac early!
Now green's the sod and cauld's the
clay
That wraps my Highland Mary.
o pale pale now those rosy lips
aft hae kissed sac fondly!
And closed for aye the sparkling
glance
That dwelt on me so kindly!
And moldering now in silent dust
That heart that loved me dearly!
But still within my bosom's core
Shall live my Highland Mary.
