has tabulated statistics up to July 1,
of the number of persons who have
registered themselves for old age in
surance in accordance with the terms
of the law of 1910, as amended in
FEBRUARY, 1912. According to returns
received from projects of depart
ments, the number of persons under
obligation to insure now registered is
7,029,008 or an increase of 273,93O,
or an increase of 16S,726 upon the
figures of April /. The number of
persons in France under an obliga-
ton to insure is about twelve mill
lions.
The government, 1t is understood,
regards the returns of July as fairly
satisfactory in view of the fact that
it has not been possible to apply ac-
tual compulsion owing to an adverse
decision of the court of cessation. A
new bill making insurance effectively
compulsory for the working classes is
to be introduced in the chamber next
session, and it will have every pros
pect of passing. 1t is in view of this
situation that the date for the prac-
teal application of .compulsion was
postponed till January, 1913!
The new insurance law amendment
bill, it is believed, will not propose to
proceed against defaulters by public
prosecution. Defaulters are not to be
brought before the justice of the
peace; they are to receive a summons
from the project and are to be pro-
ceeded against in the same private
fashion as those who neglect to pay
their taxes. The government, how
ever, expects that the advantages
conferred by the amendment law of
February 81, 1912. e., reduction of
the pension age from IS to so and
increase of the government grant to
each pensioner from $12 to $40
will continue to have an excellent eff
feet in inducing the working classes
to take advantage of the act without
compulsion, and that the remaining
five millions, or the greater part Of
them, will soon come in.

SCOTS Praise

Nowadays it is somewhat a fashion
to disparage SCOTS genius and to
allow him not even historical accu-
racy to excuse him massy piling of
paragraph upon paragraph. But
those who how him find in the works
of Scott a whole world of romance
and beauty, full of the nature of
the author himself and having their
reason for being exactly here. In a
certain sense the writings of Scott
are autobiographical; mot literally, of
course, but as revealing the deep and
b. DAD heart, the strong, true char
acter; the real love of his fellowman
and the love of good which made
him a great man. Now this is the
best thing "a book can do; encourage
us to believe that an author is truly
identified with what he writes about,
is truly living in some high measure
the things his pages show. 1t is
this humanity of Scott that keeps
him from getting old-fashioned. He
may be compared point by point with
other famo writer's and in one and
another fall below them all; but in
this indehnable quality of self-reveal-
ine, his works are splendid and will
hold the lover of goodness when the
mere delicate art in clever delinea-
ton of the foibles of society proves
tiresome.

Some Birds Are Out
There were thre birds out during
the week from the pen of Mrs. Will
Jams of North Yakima the birds being
anxious to set and two each from the
Deysenroth and Reed pens, which
made more commendable the work of
the Reed Barred Rocks in holding
third place. One bird was missing
from each of the following pens, the
Plank Dominiques, the Linse White
Wyandottes, which held down Sec
ond place, the Sprague Buff Orping-
tons and the Stone White Orpingtons
and the Bingham White Rocks. The
Sicilian Buttercup pen and the
Mounsey Ancona pen each lost a
bird by death. The Whetzel Orping-
tons are moulting. All the birds re-
ferred to as being out of the pens
from a desire to set are out at the
beginning of the fourth week of the
race.

Records of the Birds
The leading pen has SO eggs to its
credit and the second has IS, while
the Barred plymouth rocks of j. K.

A cynical official has grouped to-

to appear before the revolutionary

scaffold, all signed Hermann, and the
document which in turn sent Her

days later.
A little further on is the prison en-

Writing Pure EnrIish.

To write English with purity and pro-
priety! In the eyes of those who derive
their knowledge of good usage mainly
from manuals which profess to set 1t
forth, such a thing as expressing ones
self with absolute correctness is hardly
within the realm of possibility. The coun-
try swarms with educated prigs who are
ready to prove to you that all the classic
authors OF our speech abound IN errors
sometimes I'm gross errors. Not one Of
these authors, ancient or modern, has
been able to produce anything in which
some superior person. versed in the lore
Of the latest textbooks on propriety of
usage, is not able to point out numer-
Gus lapses from the pure and perfect
diction which the critic is confident that
he displays in his own utterance. Pro-
vender of this sort dished out in schools
Is naturally impaired to the rest OF the
community by the graduates of those
schools as soon as they occupy the teach
er's or editors chair Idioms and con-
structions employed unhesitatingly by
every great master Of our speech are as
unhesitatingly condemned.
Have we not been told again and again
that none must never be used as the
subject OF q plural verb; that whose must
never be used as relative to an ante
cedent without Bfe; that the superlative
degree must never be employed in the
comparison OF two; that an objective case
cannot properly follow verb in the
passive voice; that the dreadful neolog-
ism of would better with the infinitive
should be substituted for had better?
These and similar assaults upon correct
and idiomatic dicton. involving as they
do ignorance of the language as well as
OF the literature, are regularly perpetrated
under the pretense OF maintaining the
purity OF the speech. The hapIess vic
tim OF such instruction cannot take up
single classic author in our tongue
without finding him doing the very things
which he hiulself is told cannot be done
with propriety. With these splendid fall
ures before his eyes, what hope can the

The Titanic Memorial.

Rare in its felicity is the inspiration
of the womanhood of America to per-
petuate in bronze and marble the mem-
ory of those who perished in the most
tragic marine disaster in the history of
civilization
Leadership in such noble cause has
rightly fallen upon the wife of the
President of the United States. As
''the first lady in the land" she has her
self contributed the first dollar to the
cause, and has opened the campaign
which is bound to be nationwide in
scope and certain to be the most eff
fective tribute to the chivalry of the
men who died aboard the Titanic that
their woman kin might live that could
be conceived.
We of Washington are proud that
the memorial is to be erected here7
where it rightly should be-. in the Cap
ital of the nation. We are proud that
the women of the city are in the fore
front of the movement. The names of
Mrs. William Howard Taft, Mrs. John
Hays Hammond, and Mrs, John Hay
need no introduction to the women of
the United States. Their support alone
insures the success of the campaign.
Washington lost Maj. Archibald Butt,
Frank D. Millet, and Clarence Moore
in the disaster Many of the great
cities of the country were robbed of
some of their best blood when the Ii
tanic went down. The women of these
centers will doubtless be responsive to
the inspiring call sent out from the
Capital.

Japanese Suspicion of England,

Japan is, at the present hour, not so
much concerned with the development
of American good will as the preser-
walton of the spirit of her pact with
England. She is betraying real anxiety
over the strength of the alliance under
the grueling strain Of Russian aggreS-
sion. When the compass of British
self-interest moves Tibetward, the
Nipponese fear that the pact will be-
come a stumbling block in the way of
ambition and will be torn up as so
much tissue paper.
Says one influential japanese jour-
nal: Our ally is no longer faithful
to its professed principle of the preser-
vation of the territorial integrity of
China. She connives at, aye, she views
with perfect equanimity, the Russian
entertainments upon Mongolia, for she
knows that the Russian absorption of
Mongolia will furnish excuse for her
doing the same thing in Tibet"
Japan calmly helped herself to Korea,
and if Great Britain covets Tibet, she,
of all nations, would be the most
hypocritical in interposing objection.
The Nipponese declare that the Anglo
japanese alliance guarantees the terri
torial integrity of China. But if the
Island Empire has reason to doubt the
entire sincerity of her ally, it is because
she sees her own carefully laid schemes
of self-aggrandisement mirrored in
other nations.
Japan's absorption in Chinese de
velopments means that she is willing to
cultivate American friendship assidu-
ously. That hardy annual of ours, the
war scare, has little excuse for exist
ence at present. whether located in
Magdalena Bay or elsewhere
