TRIBUTE FROM BERNHARD7
Itated by One Of Drama
lists Sons.

Apropos of Madame Bernhardt,
the latest anecdote concerning her
and Edmond Rostand, is as follows :
On the day Of the admission Of
Edmond Rostand to the French
academy the brilliant author, accord
ing to the anecdote in question,
gave a breakfast to few friends,
the guest of honor being Nine. Bern
hardt.
She wore very handsome gown,
which she declared was made ex-
pressly for the occasion. and was
never to be worn again.
At the end of the breakfast she
arose and with an impressive man.
ner held up glass, saying:
81 drink to the greatest of French
dramatists, Edmond Rostand, and |
drink after the Greek manner"
Then she poured the contents of the
glass over head and gown.
Rostand's two small sons were
sitting at side table wearing new
velvet suits, also made for the occa-
sion. In the silence which followed
Nine. Bernhardt's dramatic tribute
the elder lad arose and initiating her
manner said:
81 drink to the greatest of poets,
my papa, and l also drink in the
Greek fashion" And straightway
he deluged himself and his small
brother with the contents of his
glass.
On being reprimanded, the lad de-
clared that he could not see why he
should be punished for doing thing
which everybody applauded when
Nine. Bernhardt did it.

PHONE is GOOD ENOUGH.

As a matter of fact it is now too
late to find a good substitute for
telephone message" the sufficient
reason being that bad one has al
ready come into general usage and
by SO doing been changed to a good
one, or at least to one as good as a
thousand other words which nobody
thinks of criticising. Now, as long
since, we "phone" when we talk
over the wire "phones," and often,
if not usually, we speak of the mes
sage as a "phone," even though we
wouldn't yet write of it as one. And
the single word seems to serve the
three purposes well enough.-New
York Times.

For a House Health Committee.

We are in full accord with the effort
to secure the establishment of a depart
ment of public health by the Federal gov
ernment AS 4 first step there ought to
be appointed in the House of Repre-
sentativcS a committee on public health,
with duties similar to the one already
existing i'll the United States Senate.
1t is natural TO expect that the Fed
eral government should protect the health
OF human beings in this country. We
have governmental departments that take
care OF the health OF animals with ex-
ccllent results. Dangerous diseases have
been all but stamped out or hive been
made harmless by rigid quarantining and
careful inspection. incidentally, this
work has been worth millions to farm
crs and. OF course, has increased the
national wealth.
The question thus presents itself. why
the government cannot do for human
beings that which it has 50 successfully
done for animals If farmer has a
horse or COW that is i'll. the Department
of Agriculture will furnish practical ad-
vice free OF charge. but if parents should
ask advice when their child is i'll, they
would get no reply whatever.
Why this discrimination?

The New Jersey Legislature.

In commenting on the work of the leg
islature which has adjourned at Tren-
ton, Gov. Wilson praises the lawmakers
as having performed an extraordinary
feat in fulfilling campaign pledges. 1t
is noteworthy that the governor does not
mention his own party, for the simple
and excellent reason that the sanction
of the Republican senate was as neces-
sary as was that of the Democratic
house in putting through his reform
measures
When it is considered that the party
platforms OF the Republicans and DEM
ocrats in New Jersey conceded to an I'M
usual extent. both agreeing that changes
should be made in the corrupt practices
act. in improving the election ma
chinery. in giving more power to the pub
lie utilities board. and in adopting new
employers liability act the affirmative
attitude of the senate is not surprising.
There is little opportunity, therefore.
for either party to claim the lions share
OF the credit.
One reform promised by both parties
has gone by the board In spite OF their
strenuous campaign, the motorists failed
to gain more liberal road laws. The
influence OF the State oranges was too
much to overcome.

Modern Battle Ships and the Canal.

Some idea OF the magnitude of the
mechanical equipment that will be re-
quired for the great series of locks on
the Panama Canal may be gained from
the statement that it includes forty-six
pairs of massive steel gates. the total
weight OF which will be about 10000 tons
These barriers will each be sixty-five
feet wide, their entire cost will exceed
100000, and it is expected that some
thing like three years continuous labor
on the part of several hundred skilled
workers will be needed to place them in
position.
Formerly 1900 tons was considered
heavy weight for a battle ship Now this
country is constructing monsters OF
10000 tons. and if the canal is to fulfill
its mission it must furnish them a safe
channel. 1t is to be assumed that the
engineers who have the task in charge
have carefully calculated probable
strains. but the best engineers sometimes
commit errors. If a mass of floating
steel weighing 10000 tons should acct
dcntllly strike pair of the gates, could
they be depended upon to resist the
mighty impact?

SHAME THEIR CITIZENSHIP.
Strange story from Mississippi OF
Failure 10 Pay Poll Tax.

From the New Orleans Ticayme.
An astonishing report comes from Mis-
sissippi of violations of me poll tax law.
A poll tax. payment of which yearly
is required of each voter under sixty
years of age before he is allowed to cast
his ballot in a public election, is a con-
stiutional requirement there. The tax
is 81 or $50
Now is given out the statement that
white citizens entitled TO vote upon conf
plying with the requirement mentioned
fail to do so TO the number OF 1900 to
90" thereby voluntarily surrendering
their right to perform their public duties
in taking part in the elections of Off
Gals and lawmakers.
This is truly astonishing news from a
State which has in its population L ma
jority of negroes, and it confirms the
deplorable fact, often set forth in these
columns, that constantly increasing
number of the citizens of the United
States have abandoned all participation
in public affairs thereby Consenting to
whatever is done by those who do vote
In Ohio and some other Northern States
where votes are a standard rketabIe
commodity, no such neglect as in MissiS-
sippi is seen, but. unfOrtuna tely, the po-
litical morals of the citizens who sell their
votes are no better than those of the citi-
zens who entirely fail and refuse TO vote
What sort of citizenship is this in
either case? 1t is criminal with no pal
liating conditions
