HIS LAST WORD ON
JONAH AND THE WHALE

To the Editor of THE TINES:
In my first article, published in your
Tuesdays paper, on Jonah and the
whale. l made mention of a small poem.
which l had unsuccessfully endeavored
to get published, now more than ten
years ago. After it had come back
to me repeatedly with thanks, and the
assurance that II could not be used,
filed It away for some future day,
which, I hope, has come. This is the
last word have to say on the subject:
When Jonah hed before the Lord.
And vowed he would not preach the word,
God caught him in a mighty gale
And he was swallowed by a whale.
That scoffers do not think this true,
Is very plain There are but few
Who read Gods word Some have the tale
That Jonah went and gulped the whale.
But what a shame, when Christian men.
Who WELD great force, with tongue and pen,
Rise up and say: I'VE, too, cant see
How such a thing can truly be-"
Was II too hard for our Lord,
Who made this world with but word
Who changed the fTightful night to day.
And fashioned man from lIfeless clay?
Too hard for Him, who nils the skies,
To make a fish of such a size,
Whose throat and stomach had the space
To sOrve as Jonah's resting place?
w. A. NESTLER.

SCHOOLGIRLS AND PURE FOOD.

Up in Pennsylvania enthusiastic recruits to the
army of fighters for purer and more wholesome food
have been gained by Harry Cassidy, agent of the
State dairy commission among the girl pupils at the
public schools.
He addressed two thousand pupils of the William
Penn High School for Girls the other day, and en-
listed every of his auditors under the standard
of food honesty.
After all it is the housewife who most readily
overthrow the dishonest interests operating to keep
down the quality and keep up the price of food.
Her approval or disapproval of a specific brand
Of food is effective than the most drastic legs
laon. If the housewives of the land make it evident
that they will buy food which contains artificial
color, or harmful ingredients, where these are
published the label the law requires, manufac-
turers will soon wake up to their interests and take
these foods off the market
1t is only by carrying the doctrine Of pure food
into the schools, and teaching schoolgirls how to dis
criminate between good foods and bad, that the
of the country be aligned against the food
poisoners
Regular instruction in the value of pure food and
in how to dfferentiate between what is heahfu and
what is harmful, should be given as distinct course
IN all the schools

MR.. sHUsTER ON ORIENTAL PROBLEMS.

But two things oppose the classification Of all
Asia-India and the Chinese republic. Russia is
now at the gates Of both"
Thus does w. Morgan Shuster summarize the
Oriental crisis that has come out of Anglo-Russian
extinction Of Persian nationality Russian authority,
he makes plain is now supreme in Persia. Britain,
after maintaining Persia for generations as buffer
state between Russia and India, has weakly yielded;
yielded in the vain hope that by conceding anything
everything, to the bear in Asia, she may gain the
bears friendship or at least neutrality in European
affairs not centering plainly around the strained
relations between England and Germany.
Mr.. Shuster Hatly declares that while England
has thus been making concessions to Russia in the
hope of buying Russian cooperation against Ger
many Russia has made secret entente with
Germany behind the back Of England Another ten
years, he insists, will see Russia at the Persian Gulf;
and then India will at last face the long feared
test between rivals for her mastery
1t is difficult to believe Britain has surrendered
her vantage is Asia so weakly as Mr.. Shuster sug-
gess. The recent concessions of the British govern
ment to Indian sensbilities, as announced by King
George at the durbar, reported largely to have
appeased the unrest of India and reconced it as
before to British rule Moreover, it is ncon-
cevable that India herself or any considerable share
Of her people, should deliberately side with Russia;
and Russias only possible hope for success in an
Indian campaign lies in the uprising of India itself
to support her.
Finally, it is unbelievable that England should
have opened to the Gar road to the Persian Gulf
unless England was so far assured Of Japan's sup
port in struggle for India, to guarantee a
Japanese army corps to Offset every Russian corps
That is the one sound basis Of the Anglo Japanese
alliance. Japan has the troops Britain has the
money. If Russia can be induced at length to con-
cede Manchuria to Japan, in consideration of this
advance in Persia, Japan will be we'll satisfied, and
ready, no doubt, to support England in confning
Russia to Persia and keeping her out of India.
1t has been part of British policy to surrender
her imperial possessions her domination of the gate
ways of world trade, her diplomatic advantages,
weakly and cravenly. That she is doing so now,
because of the German scare, is not thinkable.
Anyhow of late Germany has appeared good deal
more scared than England-and not without reason,
when the naval statistics are reanayzed

WILL GIVE BARKEEP
KIND WORD HEREAFTER
To the Editor of THE TIMES.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Mr.. Crowley says l ought to be de-
barred from the Mail Bags privileges.
AS the heroines at the Academy re-
mark, Help! Help! Save me from this
man" Why he is annoyed with me I
have not the least idea. Ever since l
was a child the big man who beat the
big drum: in the big band, with the big
air of one who was furnishing ALL the
melody. has always furnished me so
much innocent amusement, and dear
Mr.. Crowley's letters-oh, / can't say
what they have done for me! But he
accuses me OF meaningless" sarcasm.
Now, isn't that unkind! 7 always
thought when the toy balloon went pop,
that the pin prick was well directed.
And saloon keepers give so much to
church ba&aars and raffes, and the like
And some of the churches see that
they DO it. too.
But Mr.. Crowley opened ur one in
teresting point in his letter. If the sa-
locn is the ''vestjhuln of hades" and
the right hand of Satan" what is the
barkeep? A doorkeep of the place re.
ferred to, and a finger of Satan? Dear,
dear, the poor chap! l shall always
give him a kind word after this. But,
but, perhaps, like Mr.. Pecksniff, Mr.
Crowley doesn't mind about his mean
ing when he bangs on that big drum OF
his. How 1 wish l could interest him
in the rum-majorship.

Elwood drew on his imagination to de-
scribe its further travels. Why didn't
he complete the rounds and have the
bankers wife make him give her a
good $40 for the one returned by the
butcher?
We have no right to assume any re-
demption of the counterfeit bill, and
1t certainly Is beyond reason to suppose
that the bill could be traced back from
housexeepcr to merchant, from mer-
chant to farmer, from farmer to butch
cr, and from butcher to bankers wife.
People in business can't trace or iden-
tify the bills they receive in the course
Of a few day. These people who ac-
cepted the bill and then got $40 value
received for 1t, have nothing to do with
the problem.
o. B. C's answer is off the point.
The problem says, Who lost in the
transaction? The imam who lost the
$10," is not mentioned in the transac-
tions. How did o. B. c. know it was
a man that lost It? Women sometimes
have SO bills.
The answer to o. b. C.'s question is
that the merchant lost s..

ICE AS A FACTOR
IN COST OF LIVING

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
To those who are interested in the
high cost of living l would recommend
them to take ice as a subject and study
it-just plain ice. There is plenty of 1t.
The rivers are fast. Few are navi-
gable. In some places ii is almost two
feet thick. Its presence is monotonous.
In the summer hundreds Of thousands
OF people suffer from an insufficiency
of It, and thousands do without it, be-
cause they cannot afford to buy It.
In recommending the study of ice I do
not refer to the artificial making Of II,
or the part taken by those who handle
1t, or the price asked, but simply sug-
gest study of ice as II is seen every
where, on rivers, ponds. and wherever
there is a body of water.
Valueless now, but valuable later, and
why the world cannot have IT.
There is ample food for thought in
the subject. I especially recommend 1t
as a study to those who think we can
help ourselves by buying goods from
foreign countries.
A study of the ice question should
teach q man more about the cause OF
mankind's poverty than all the books
on economics ever written.

WHAT ROOSEVELT POLICY
HAS TAFT ADVOCATED? ?

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
1t is a shame that poor Connolly Is
limited to $50 words, and cannot answer
a single question in my letter-namely,
with the exception OF perpetuating
Roosevelt's unconstitutional order muz-
zhng and gagging the Government
clerks, what single one of the Roose-
welt policies has Mr.. Taft ever advo-
cated?" Mr.. Connolly's wonderful reti-
cence on the gag rule" question almost
leads one to believe that the poor fellow
is himself a victim of this notorious
piece of infamy. II he is, OF course he
does not want to cripple his red blood
ed manhood" and self-respect by de-
Tending 1t, and he would not dare assail
it in the open. oh, dear, no! We ought
to hear from him on this subject. as
thousands of Government clerks are
awaiting his able remarks with breath
less interest. His weak effort at sar-
casm in alluding to me as peanut
politician is pathetic. II he wants to
unearth the most astounding exhibition
of peanut hull' politics ever wit
messed in this country. let him investi-
gate Taft's District primary farce:

DICTAGRAPH WILL STAY.

secured in the dynamite cases, comes decision of
the Ohio Supreme Court in which the of the
dicagraph in convctng corrupt legislators, attaches.

The States case would have fallen through but
for the admission of the dctagraph testimony, which
confirmed the claim that there was a bribery con-

The dictagraph is here to stay-both in the hands

MUCH ASSUMED IN
COUNTERFEIT PROBLEM
To the Editor of THE TINES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
In w. A. Elwood's solution OF the
counterfeit bill problem, as published in
the Mail Bag the 18th instant, he as
sumes several things as facts that are
not stated in the problem as given by
"Althmar."
desire to submit the following: The
banker found the bill and gave II away
to his wife giving it to any other per-
son would not have changed the re-
sult), she paid the butcher bill; he paid
the farmer for a calf; the farmer paid
the bill to the merchant on account; the
merchant laid the bill to his house
keeper for service; the housekeeper paid
the bill to the same banker to take up
q $40 bank note which she was owing
him. AfteTward, on careful examina-
tion, the banker discovered that the
bill was counterfeit. Then came the
question: Who lost in the transaction?
There is nothing in "Althmar's" prob
lem that takes the bill farther. or
course, the banker lost SO, as he ac-
cepted a $40 counterfeit bill in payment
of $40 bank note.
And ! might add that where there Is
a loss there Is usually a corresponding
gain. The bankers wife was ahead $40,
as she paid a legitimate account with
worthless so bill. .,,-,,,,,r
