derstend the logic of men who defend
the federal scheme of the senate while
trying to destroy it. He would listen
to the emphasis laid upon the poor
quality of the state legislatures, and
would DO confronted with the argu-
ment that such legislatures cannot
be trusted to elect good senator's.
Then the first question to be pro-
pounded by the old fellow would be-:
why, then, do you propose to make

IF the people of the country cannot
elect an honest member of the legis-
lature from among their own &C
quaintances, how can they vote in
diligently upon the qualifications of
men whom they do not know?
The suggestion that senator's should
be subject to immediate recall at the
whim of the voters of state would
astound the ancient lawgiver. 1t was
his idea that senators represented
sovereign states, and that the law
makers of the senate should be men
of age and experience, devoting their
ability to the welfare of the nation.
The oath Of Office was to be their in
structions, and their terms were made
long enough to tide over any passing
popular whim. If state should in
struct a senator how to vote, he could
obey the instructions if they coincid-
ed with his own views; but if he con-
scientiously differed with such in
structions, he was to ignore them
without hesitation. His knowledge
of affairs was to be greater than that
of the masses, and his ability was
to be such as to enable him to reach
sounder conclusions. He was to be
an ambassador with full powers, and
not messenger.
But if the old constitution-maker
should be seized with a desire for Of
fee while revisiting his old haunts
he would be mighty careful not to
express his real views. 1t is decid-
eddy unpopular" to tell the people
that they cannot run the government
al machinery by vivo voce vote. They
must be f1attered and cajoled. They
must be told that their snap judge
ment is eternal truth, right off the
bat They must be advised that there
is no problem of government too
complex for a crowd of naturalized
citizens to grasp and dispose of.
Oh. no; the old timer would stand
aghast, and all that, but if he were
running for Office he would quietly
disguise the fact that he knew any.

tuition calculated to outlive more than

BRETHREN AT ODDS.

DR.. Steiner of Grinnell college has
troubled the waters of the swimming
pool and broken up quiet game of
crokinole in the east parlor by shying
the castor of defiance into the inner
precincts of the Young Mems Chris
tian association. Not content with
this, he follows the challenge with
the biting epithet of "mollycoddles!
a word heretofore confined in it's u.s.
age to the political arena, or, if en-
ployed elsewhere, only by the most
strenuous advocates of the form of
Christianity known as muscular.
These "kid-glove Christians" &C.
cording to DR.. Grinnell, are drag
and a hindrance to the cause. They
are naughty and exclusive, and have
no thought or care for the lower
classes. The association is composed
chiefly Of idlers, who hesitate to as

Interesting Talks of Prominent
Men from Different localities.

DO you know that many American
tourists in Europe, especially on the
continent, are forever asking about
the bullfghts in Spain?" remarked
Edgar l.. Elson, who has lived many
years in Paris. you hear so much
IN this country about the prevention
OF cruelty to animals, and yet the men
who, while here at home would not
see dog misused, will travel many
niles to witness bullfght, with all
its danger and cruelty, in the Castilian
country. 1t is a craving in the blood
inherited from semisavage ancestors,
no doubt, and it crops out in the later
generations. Men you meet in the
clubs and cafes of London and Paris
will not be eager to tell that they
are going to Madrid or Barcelona for
the next bullfghting carnival, but
they will make plans with others who
are inclined to the same brutal pas
time, and in every ampitheater where
there is bullfighting in Spain you will
see long rows of Americans, men of
high social standing on this side of
the water, and many of them deacons
in the church.
"The savage instinct is no doubt
latent in all of us, and those who let
it loose with the bullfighting mania
may be kind and tender-hearted in
every other relation of life. You can
guess at the cruelty of the bullfght
game when l tell you that at the last
Madrid season an even dozen bull
fighters were killed outright in the
ring by savage bulls, and the spec
tators seemed ravenous for more of
such thrilling scenes. In recent years
the deaths of the fighters have been
more frequent. so keen is the demand
for the patrons Of the game for some
thing exciting and blood curdling-
except that the natives do not admit
the blood-curdling part. They are
used to it, but our American patrons
generally come away remarking that
they have had enough for a lifetime
And the bulls? Why, of course, it lie
seldom that one ever comes out OF
the ring alive. If a, savage bull, a
game fighter kills the man foe, he is
baited with another fighter on horse
and the cruel sport goes on for the
delectation of the multitude.
"If professional bullfighter is
killed another takes his place quickly
enough with tired bull to fight, and
the animal Is not given an even
chance for his life. The record Of last
year in Spain was the killing of 2,50(
bulls and many more horses. Indeed
1t seems that the greater cruelty is tt
the horses who have not an equa
chance with the fighters who ride
4 them. I am thankful that hullfight.

SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1911.
OLD AGE AND BOOZE

Statistics are wonderful things.
With little care one may prove any,
thing by them. 1t all depends upon
whether the mental lens is concave or
convex as to whether the conclusion
deduced is optimistic or otherwise.
Again, the individual instance comes
in to disturb, or to confirm, as one
may wish. For example, the popula-
ton of France is decreasing; but this
fact adds no woe to the peasant with
family Of twelve. He has troubles
enough of his own as it is. His only
consoling thought at the arrival of
twins is that misfortunes never come
singly.
Again, take the deNasting demon
rum. So far does it overshadow all
other items of calculation, one might
say that statistics themselves are
rummy things. The estimated sum
that goes up annually in smoke is a
mere bagatelle compared to that
which goes nown annually in drink.
And it is all wasted. or worse-more
Intellectual than the feeble efforts OF
man, who in his weakness has been
compared by holy writ to water pour
ed upon the ground.
The liquor question has been with
us for long time. 1t goes back at
least to the days of Noah, when the
children Of Ham got themselves into
unwilling trouble long before they
were born. We wish the problem
could be settled. Now and then val
liant champion arises to lend surety
to the hope that the solution is at
hand. But the next moment his adj
versary springs into the arena, wiry
and eager for battle.
There Is "a good old soul now liv-
ing in California. His age is lis, and
his testimony is direct. In all his
long life he has partaken only Of that
which Mr.. Emerson says makes the
true poet drunken-water. To this
he attributes his unbroken health
and long life. Let US drink him e
toast from the moss-covered buckle
which hung in the well.

While the Moroccan affair may dis

restless about it, it is generally be-
