A Word of Approval.

Give me word of approval. I've
tried to be good and true.
I am weary and sick Of heart at the
way my critics do.
I've given my life for others, cave al
ways opposed the wrong;
I've fried 70 lit up the fallen, I have
cheered the jostling throng.
Give ne wcrd of approval, ere the
setting Of the sun.
I have sort Of mis2iving that NY
race is nearly run;
Have felt the spirit of kindness and tie
thrill Of gl1wing truth.
And love the good old honest way as
Il>vcd it il ny youth.
Give me a word of approval an my
mother used to give
When I was bit of a boy just learn
ing the way to live.
My soul responds as readily to sweet
words in kindness said
AS in early childhood days to the pray
er beside my bed.
Give me word of approval, for my
eyes are growing dim.
For the way is much rougher now, and
Pm not so fleet of limb
AS in the hopeful boynood days when
I Icleared the Wanting pole,
For am in the final race with my eye
upon the goal.
Give me word of approval: it may be
the last to me.
For the winter days are coming; the
frost is stripping the trees;
And the chilly winds are blowing; the
corn is ripe in the ear:
I await the house of quiet and the
crossing must be near.

This Is Some Responsibility.

In reply to telegram from Eugene
Brady O'Neill yesterday stating that
the situation at Washington was such
that the Flood resolution would not
pass the White House. and asking for
advice as to the striking out of the
judiciary recall provision, group of
Phoenix gentlemen styled the state
hood committee forwarded a reply in
part as follows:
I'VE. as "A statehood committee, do
not feel that we have the right to
change the expressed wish Of our peo-
pie
IF President Taft desire to assume
the responsibility of denying us our
rights guaranteed us by the constitu-
ton of the United States, and pledged
by both political parties. then the re-
sponsibility rests with him.
In all the circumstances this is an
extraordinary message. The gentle
men who compose this committee are
all estimable gentlemen and have
worked earnestly to impress upon
congress and the president the great

desire of the people of Arizona for
statehood. For so doing they deserve
the thanks Of the territory for what
they have done. regardless of the re-
suit of their efforts.
Their work has been as praise
worthy as that of any other group of
citizens or as that of any single citi-
zen to the same end would have been.
All could confidently assert that they
were acting in accordance with the
wishes of all the people of Arizona.
But, considering the constitution Of
the committee. we think its members
have assumed a responsibility never
conferred upon it, in authorizing a re-
lection OF statehood. AS matter Of
fact, the committee does not repre-
sent the people of Arizona in the ca
paeity of a regularly appointed ter
ritorial committee invested with pie
nary powers. 1t is not. in the same
sense. the representative of any
county or section of the territory.
Beside. if it were regularly consti-
tuted. the responsibility it has as
sumed is one at which it should have
hesitated until it had ascertained the
will OF its constituents in a matter
so mOmentous.

When joining a bias piece of ma

4 SICK SOUL.

Down the ages of this still some
what rough-and-ready humanity there
runs lire of souls so much more deli
cately endowed than the others that
their higher sensitiveness makes them
seem by comparison sick, writes con-
tributor to Harper's Weekly. They
suffer, apparently, out of all proper
ton to the exciting causes and few
take account of the delicacy and in
tensity of their intermittent joys.
Nordau, Lombroso, and that ilk
would like to label them degenerates
because nothing but the beef-eating
heaviness and the dull complacency
of the herd seem to them healthy. Yet
the fact remains: DAVIS and crows fly
together and the eagle aspires in soli-
tude to the sun. Actually our socalled
sick souls are the hope of the coming
race; martyrs for higher humanity;
what Nietzsche would call arrows to-
ward superman.' In this long line of
sufferers, i'll adjusted to a roughly
commercialized society, belongs Laf-
cadio Hearn; and how noble a votary
he is of the higher humanity we should
never have known but for Mrs. Wet
more's efforts in his behalf. Lafcadio
Hearn's Letters" constitute not only
his best biography, but his finest, most
self revealing writing. Mrs. Wetmore
has industriously gathered and ably
arranged the letters, and this last vol
ume of japanese Letters" contains
the very last and finest documents we
shall have of that strange, brilliant
FREELY of a soul astray in this be-
wiIdering march of a world.
Hearn if he noted and wrote whole
essays upon such delicate matters as
the soft crimson down on the body of
dragon-iy, yet thought philosophical
ly in wide and wandering circles.
When he saw a beautiful girl he
thought of 1.-The countless millions of
myriads of dead in one life manifesto
tion-an incomprehensible multiple
that has appeared but once in the or
der of the cosmos and never can APP
pear again
Although he is accused of thinking
over warmly of feminine beauty, it can
only be submitted once more, as has
already been done by Mrs. Wetmore,
that there is nothing intrinsieally i'm
moral in a woman's beauty. Despite
Puritanic prejudice to the contrary, a
certain amount of beauty is moral
obligation each woman owes the race,
and the instinct of man in preferring
| it to more spiritual endowments has
its base in a perfectly natural and
right sense of life"

the town school was not any better
than the rural school, in the common
branches. The city school was not
what it ought to have been. The rural
school was noted for its excellent IN
structors.
Two of the children living on he rock
road are now sophomores in agr1cul-
tural colleges, two are seniors in hlgh
school. and two are freshmen in hlgn
school. All of them are interested n
agriculture, will graduate from agrl-
cultural courses, and return to the
farm.
Two children living adjacent to the
earth road finished the rural school.
Their interest in education was bal
.anced against the almost impossible
condition of the road the greater part
of the school year. Now they are hard
lv average farmers. Four became dis
couraged and quit the rural school be-
fore they were graduated Three OF
them are day laborers in a nearby
town. The fourth is owner OF a small
restaurant in the same town.
The children of the rock road walked
to church. Sunday school, and lectures,
and attended the social events in town
and in the country adjacent to the
rock road.
1t hardly seems possible that
stretch of two to four miles of poor
road would make such difference IN
ones life, Goes it? But it did.

THE coon RoAD nm TT,

What does a good road mean to a
rural school? What does a good road
mean to a rural community socially?
asks the Kansas Industrialist. and if
continues:
A certain township in southeast
Kansas saw fit to construct two miles
of rock road. from a small town south
through a rural school district. Six
children Of school age lived on farms
adjacent to the rock road, and six on
the same length of earth road in the
west part of the school district. The
earth road was in poor condition most
of the time.
The children on the good road went
to city schools, walking most of the
time. The children on the almost i'm
passable earth road went to a rural
school At that time the istruction in
