Making More Roosevelt News.

BY no means the least interesting
feature of the news of yesterday was
the dispatch stating that Clifford Pin
chot had been called to Europe by Col
onel Roosevelt. In view Of what has
happened to Pinchot since the former
president went to Africa. the political
world is highly interested in his sud-
den departure from America.
The enthusiastic supporters of the
deposed forester feel sure that he has
been called to Naples to pour his tale
of woe into the ear of his bosom friend
and sponsor, and that as result pres
sure will be brought to bear upon the
present administration to bring about
his reinstatement.
Those who believe President Taft
acted wisely in removing Pinchot are
inclined to the belief that Pinchot will
be censured for lending himself to a
program calculated to bring President
Taft and his lieutenants into disre-
putc. To support this opinion they
cite Colonel Roosevelt's well-known
friendship for Taft. as well as for
Pinchot.
The most reasonable conjecture in
regard to the matter is that Colonel
Roosevelt has called Pinchot to him
for the sole purpose of getting first
hand information concerning sub
ject in which the former president
takes d lively interest. In any event,
if it is possible to increase the news
value of the dispatches concerning the

Probably no criticism of our judicial
system could have done more to un-

than has this universal condemnation
of delav and indiscriminate appeal. In
view of this fact information showing
that anv court, which passes upon any
considerable number of cases, is dis

be lost in the general hubbub.

In the wears 1907. 1908, and 1909,
this court tried 197,347 criminal
and quasi criminal cases. Eighty
per cent, of these cases were dis

of the moment of arrest. Ninety

finally disposed Of within ten days
of arrest. Out of the whole num-
Der, 1877, 347 cases, only sixty eight

Grange Wants National Health Board.

The National Grange is thoroughly
ton by Congress creating d national
board of health empowered to CO.
operate with the various states in the
protection of the public health. The
grange is only one of the many Or
CARNATIONS which have endorsed this
proposition.
Nearly all states have d bureau or
commission, whose duty it is to enforce
certain regulations affecting the health
of the people. The proposal to estab-
lish = national board results from the
recognition by the health authorities
that there are problems with which
the state boards alone cannot success
fully contend Oftentimes the effect
of splendid work of one board is de-
stroyed through carelessness. indiffer-
ence or ignorance of q board charged
with similar duties in an adjoining
state. The only way to deal with such
a situation successfully is through a
natl NAL board having jurisdiction in
both states. The matter is of para :
mount Importance to the people from
that standpoint alone.
1T is believed that typhoid, tubercu-
losis and infantile ailments can be SO

reduce the death rate so per cent The
public recognizes such a possibility
and the response to the suggestion
that a national board be organized
has been most gratifying to. those who
have interested themselves in the
matter. The grange resolutions, which
admit of no misinterpretation are as
follows:
Whereas The preservation of
the national health is q matter of
the utmost Importance to all the
farmers of the country, and
Whereas, 1t is proposed 10
establish a. national health bureau.
or commission, which will assume
the functions of the various bu
reaus. of the Federal Government
having charge of this subject. and
form Il practical working organi-
zatfon which will cooperate with
the States in all matters relating
to the public health. and
Whereas, This proposition has
been endorsed by both political
parties in their national platforms.
ahd by the President of the United
States, therefore
Resolved. That the National
Grange favors the establishment
of a national health bureau or
commission. and urges upon Con-
rress the necessity for the immc-
- diate enactment Of legislation for
this purpose.
Resolved, That we heartily en-
dorse the work Of the committee
of one hundred on national health.

Otis Ruth of Boston. BY James
Otis. Cloth, 12mo, 100 pages, with IL
Illustrations. Price, 35 cents. Amerl-
can Book Company, New York, GIN
cinnati, and Chicago.
This supplementary reader gives the
story of the early days of Boston as
seen through a little girls eyes. The
incidents are nearly all historical
facts, but are only such as a chiid
might notice. or learn by hearsay. The
book describes entertainly her feelings
on the first view of America, the NOV
ing of the town from Charleston
across the bay to Boston, the parties
she attended and the gowns she wore,
as well as more important dramatic
events, such as the time of famine, the
trouble with the Indians, the starting
of school, and the household duties
of the day. The style is as charming
as that of fairy tale, and the book
presents a delightfully."- graphic, at
tractive and comprehensive descrip-
ton of the daily life of the Massachu-
sets Bay colonists. The story, which
is suited for third. fourth, and fifth
year pupils is literally illustrated with
pen and ink drawings.
Otis's Mary of Plymouth. By James
Otis. Cloth, 12mo. 1856 pages, with IL
Illustrations. Price. 80 cents. Amcri-
can Book Company. New York, Gin
natl. and Chicago
Written by ore of the most popular
authors of Juvenile books, this supple
mentary reader tells the story of the
Plymouth colony from the viewpoint
of child. The little Pilgrim records
in her dairy interesting incidents of
the daily home life of the colonists
from the time they set sail on the
Mayilower. She tells of the crude log
house built by her father, of encoun-
tiers with Indians, both friendly and
unfriendly, of fires kindled without
matches and bread baked without oV-
ems, of spoons formed from clam shells
and dishes from pumpkins and gourds,
of the school kept i'm the fort, of the
long hours of preaching in the meet
ing house, of feast days and fast days,
and of a wonderful trip in shallop to
Salem. This is a new departure in
the presentation of such matter to
young readers. The book will appeal
directly to children, and give them an
accurate knowledge of historical facts
while affording reading as interesting
as any story book. The illustrations
are numerous and attractive.
