The people of Kansas City have raised
fund of one million dollars to build
and maintain modern line of freight
steamers on the Missouri river, and thus
give a flip to the movement for restor-
alton of the old-time shipping activity
on the Missouri, Ohio and Mississippi
rivers. This is the proper way in which
to proceed. The investment will show
whether or not there is room for ship
ping enterprise along the rivers with
up-to-date carriers and modern dock fa-
cilities. If it should prove to be unre-
munerative, the cause of failure will be
apparent, and remedial measures can be
instituted. 1t is not at all likely that
carriers viii be kept running at loss
merely for the purpose of putting up
blur TO Uncle Sam in order to secure
appropriations for the betterment of the
river channels; therefore the Kansas
City movement should be welcomed by
opponents as well as advocates of river
improvement.

Bride Without a Smile.

From the quarterly report of the Bor-
neo Mission ASSOCIATION we learn that
Bishop Mounsey has had some interest
ing experiences in Labuan and Sarawak.
Here is his account of the marriage OF
a Christian girl who is half Chinese and
half Dyak; at was very picturesque
service and one point was 10th amusing
and interesting to me. The bride, a
pretty girl who generally has pleasant
smile for one, was on this occasion the
picture of misery. She looked very glum
and never smiled" The bishop adds:
Il am told this is quite the thing for a
Chinese bride, in this as in other things
their customs being very unlike ours

The Murphy bill, which has been favor
ably reported by a subcommittee of
the House of Representatives headed by
Congressman Campbell of Kansas, aims
to abolish tipping in Washington hotels,
restaurants and cafes. 1t makes giving
as well as taking tips a misdemeanOr,
either offense to be punishable by a fine
not exceeding five hundred dollars. Wait
ers, stewards, pOrters and others who
serve in public places should be paid
living wages by their employers, and
not be dependent upon gratuties from
the public When the public patronizes
a hotel or a restaurant it should be ex-
empt from the nuisance and imposition
of tipping. If the Murphy bill should
relieve the situation at the national
capital it would inspire local enact
ments embodying its principle in every
part of the Union.

Frenehmen have formed n society with
the name of the Elephants Friends, the
object of which is to protect the largest
of land animals from slaughter. The
general secretary of the organization,
nj. Tournier, says that "Roosevelts great
and small kill forty thousand elephants
every year, and there are not more than
three hundred and twenty-five thousand
left" Frenchmen can not enforce Il close

means of the game warden system. They
will have to depend upon the moral

Commodore William II. Heller, L. S.
n, retired, suggests in the Journal Of
the Military Service Institution that the
superannuated hattleships and monitors
now lying in ordinary be taken to the
Florida keys and there submerged to the
turrets, SO that the latter could serve as
revolving forts FOR coast defense. The
revolving fGru is not new idea, but the
plan of sinking ships to serve as founda-
tons is original. However. it would be
far better to remove the turret and the
mechanism which operates it to solid
foundation on the coast, instead Of trust
ing it to foundations made over water
boy filling submerged hulls with stone and
concrete. The steel fort on Corregidor.

1t was an old story that was told
at Red Bank, New Jersey, the other

ire which had destroyed his valuable
vehicle was caused by his own careless
ress in throwing a flaming match onto

should shun matches and lighted pipes
and cigars; as gasoline vapor is as in
fiammable as powder and as destructive

The raisin growers of Fresno county,
California, are trying to promote the
consumption of raisins by establishing
'raisin day." on which all patriots who
believe in patronizing home enterprise
and consuming home productions are ex-
pected to indulge in raisin cakes and
buildings, raisin bread, etc. The boys
and girls will fall in line for this, and as
they are the best consumers of things
sweet, it would seem to be good policy
to awaken the enthusiasm of young eat
ers. Parents are now busy striving
to get enough of things more staple than
raisins, which would be adopted gener-
ally if they could be made to take the
place of meat, eggs and other products.
Moreover, it is suspected that if all were
to do as the raisin growers desire there
would be a boom in the price as result
of the boom in the demand.

The latest in public school develop
ment is the proposed establishment of
classes at Montclair, New Jersey for in
struction i'll the prevention of tubercu-
Iosis. A census of the Montclair schools
shows that there are about eighty-five
pupils who are predisposed to tubercu-
losis, and to save these children and
others the authorities propose to estab-
lish outdoor classes in each of the
schools. 1t would be good policy to make
instruction in warfare against tubercu-
Iosis general, so that the pupils may
guard themselves against infection, and
avoid inclusion in the outdoor classes.
The open-air school is becoming quite
general. New York city has opened one,
and the school authorities of Chicago
are preparing to do likewise.

Some time ago Representative Sherwood
of Ohio spoke in the House in opposition
to Representative Hobsons great naval
policy and pointed out many reasons
which he declared would prevent war be-
tween the United States and Japan. After
the speech had been printed in the Con-

copy of 1t to Baron Yasuya Uchida, the
Japanese amba ssador in this city Gen
Sherwood has received a letter from
Baron Uchida, VINO acknowledged receipt
of the speech, and in commenting upon it
said:
What you stated in regard to the rela-
lions of the United States and Japan is
on the whole we'll founded on actual facts
except the burden of taxes in Japan,
which 1 do not think is heavy as you
have estimated, and l hope it will be
widely read throughout the country. 10

PHILIPPINE TRADE GROWS.
Period of Eight Months Shows In
crease of 55 Per Cent.

An increase OF about IS per cent
in the total trade in domestic merchan-
disc between the United States and the
Philippine Islands during the eight
months ending February % last, as COM
pared with the corresponding period of
the preceding year, is recorded by the
bureau of statistics. The enormous i'll
crease is attributed by the bureau to
the removal of tariff duties on domestic
merchandise passing between the United
States and the islands.
The value of such products shipped
from the United States to the Philip
pines during the period mentioned was
$40, 1917 against $6S71.764 In the cor
responding months of last year. The
value of merchandise imported into the
United States from the islands was Sll. =
42O.475. against 5000 1872 last year
This increase in the trade with the
Philippines. the bureau said, practically
equaled the gain in the commerce be-
tween the United States and all other
portions of its non-contiguous territory
in the same period.

There Is no death: What seems so is transition.

Is Int suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portals call death.

By guardian angels led,
Free from pain. and af1ictior,
She lives whom call dead
Thus do we walk with her and keep unbroken
The bond which nature gives
Thinking our sad remembrance, tho unspoken.
