Giving vegetarianlsm It's Due.
From Harper's Magazine.


It is. perhaps, not unfair to the large
and militant community OF vegetartans to
say that their actions are dictated more
by sentiment than by science And by
sentiment we do not SO much imply the
shirking OF facts in favor OF feelings. but
rather seek to include in one term all
motives which ignore questions Of profit
and loss to the individual or community
in favor of considerations possessing
purely emotional sanction. A certain
number Of people will not accept the
doctrine Of killing. no murder" even
when applied to food. but so far as con-
ditions Of existence permit they will in
fict no death in order that they them
selves may live. We may disagree pro-
foundly with this principle: we may even
regard 1t as philosophically absurd. be-
cause death is only a phase OF the cycle
Of being. and the plant is no less alive
than the animal We may regard such
a belief as incompatible with the condi-
lions of existence in this world, but we
cannot argue with it, and we cannot help
according II a certain amount of respect.
so closely is 1t bound up with some of
the finest elements in human nature.
Now the science Of diet belongs TO one
Of the most difficult and unexplored fields
of knowledge 1t must be admitted from
the outset that little more than the rudi-
ments are positively known.

THE GOSPEL OF CLIMATE.
Colorado Beseeches Appreciation Of
the One It Owns,
From the Denver Republican.

From the Denver Republican.
Colorado is again demonstrating the SUI
periority Of its summer climate over any
other brand on earth. While the east and
middle west have been suffering from the
usual blaze Of June heat augmented by
dense humidity, those who have been for
tunate enough to be located in this state
have suffered not the least discomfort.
One OF the most pathetic things in the
world is to see the average eastern Wis
itor during his first Colorado summer
night Accustomed to the humid nights
that only seem to intensity the heat
record OF the day, the fastener Is amaze
ment personif1ed when the setting sun
brings the customary rush of cool Colo
RADIO air. 1t is hard to convince the
visitor that such nights are the rule, and
the first postcard sent home usually con-
Germs the fact that Colorado folk sleep
under blankets even in midsummer
The south has awakened to the beau
ties of Colorados summer climate more
quickly than the east. Manitou and other
Colorado resorts are nearly all filled with
southerners during the entire season.
Gaunt Texans and Oklahomans and their
families spend long weeks reveling in
the brisk atmosphere of mountains and
foothills. and getting the long invigorat-
ing sleeps that are denied them in their
own states. There has been an astonish-
ern tourists in Colorado of late years,
sod these tourists come again and again.
and many Of them even contemplate
building summer homes here and residing
in this state at least four months out Of
the year.

Natural Care of Children.
From Harper's Magazine.

The care OF children is not properly sub
ject to theory, but 70 a consideration of
conditions. Childhood is the season Of i'm
pressions, OF plastic submission to these.
of MISUNDERSTANDING and waiting, as
youth is the season Of forward-looldns
impulses. Nature has made this dis
tinction, and if In childhood she makes
preparation for the blossoming of youth
her processes are hidden. We are ad-
vancing no theory, but only recognizing
this distinction Of terms. when we plead
for the child's free and full indulgence OF
the backward regard. 1t Is ours to help
him 10 his natural birthright. to lead him
into the field of the past, with some sense
of what calls him thither-a sense which
determines the contacts we give him-and
there we leave him free to derive his own
impressions from the scene, the persons
all that makes the play. We burden him
with no technicalities, which he no <nore
needs than when he Is brought into con-
tact with natural objects; and we refrain
from distracting him by Interior meanings
or analytical interpretations, which he
may himself seek later.
The past is not cherished simply be-
cause Il is past In the lines OF culture
the dust of antiquity has been most dill
gently sifted for it's hidden wealth; and
this wealth is not that Of the market
place, but Of the clearing house Of the
imagination.

Where the 1rishman Gets His
BrOgue.
From Harper's Magazine.

From Harper's Magazine.
Perhaps nothing illustrates better the
Tcissitudes Of pronunciation In English
than a study OF what Is called the Irish
brogue." This lingual mode. for 1t Is
scarcely to be called a dialect. 10 usually
presumed to be a deterioration Of Ian
guage due to lack Of education and con-
tact with legitimate sources of English.
1t proves after little study to be q
preservation Of the old method Of pro-
nouncing English. which has como down
to a great degree unchanged in Ireland
from Shakespeare's time.
In Elizabeth's time. however, It came
to be realized that If there was to be
any real utilization of the two countries.
then the Irish language must be sup
planted by English, and a definite effort
in this direction was made. This change
of speech. resented and resisted, was
nevertheless successfully accomplished
all over the island except in the west,
within a decade after Shakespeare's
death This fact takes on new sig
nificance when We study what we now
call the Irish brogue In connection with
what Is known to have been the pronun-
ciatttn of English at that time The
two are found to conform In practically
every respect. Irishmen pronounce Eng
lish as their forefathers learned It: and
have preserved its pronunciation be-
cause they have been away from the
main current Of English speech vHria-
ton ever since.
