THE QUAKER FACE

Henry ovidel Canby fin the Century Maga-
 zine.
 What made the Quaker face? Not a
 broad brimmed hat or a gray bonnet, as
 the fippant assert. Costume, will not mako
 it. as you may prove for yourself at the
 next masquerade. In part, it was the
 mysticism, the reserve and the self-re- liance of the Quaker mind These things
 were the very essence of the society, and
 they led to a subconscious command 10 be silent, to be calm, to hide the emotions of the too often rebellious heart, which in turn helped to mold the faces one sees in
 the portraits and among the Friends still left who belong to the old rule.
 It used to be said in our Quaker town that one could tell by their manners the
 Friends school. because once a week in
 meeting they had to sit for an hour in perfect quiet. Think of family, of a community. where the heart was put un-
 der discipline for llfel
 But this is not all, for have left out
 the causes which were chiefly responsible
 for the most charming element of the
 features of the old Friends-an enduring
 peace There have been unpeaceful Quak-
 CTS and unpeaceful Quakeresses. More
 than one member of our meeting so I am told stamped out of First Day service and slammed the door behind them when the
 unorthodox IIicksites began their preach. ing I have heard that one of our an-
 cestresses was a scod, and there was
 Cousin Amelia. who used to shake her finger at an obstinate driver when he re- fused to uncheck his horse, and say: Just walt till thee gets to the next world. Then theell see what will happen!'' As have remarked, the Quaker project was not always successful. But for once popular opinion is quite right-the Quaker face, particularly the Quaker woman's face, was transfused with peace Is 1t not
 natural? Where could be found the
 worlds sweet inn from pain and weari-
 some turmoil if not in the older com
 munities of riends-communties in
 which prudence and self-control kept away poverty; where not only war, put strife also, and civil and domestic discord
 were banned so explicitly that it was for hidden to decide by majorities at meet ing; where rivalry in dress and in station were restrained as far as fallible human nature would permit? How could peace 1 fail to be resident in a society which be- lieved that God was not in His heaven, but among us, and that as long as one lived without affectation, did the daily task. kept the heart tender and the body pure, all was right with the world?

From the New York American. His kindness was another salient fea- ture of the man. He had infinite pity for the helpless and the weak. Although a confirmed bachelor, he loved children. At Boston one afternoon during the first meet while Ralph Johnstone was flying, sturdy little youngster wished very much to see the craft as it came down. Wright had been watching the toddler carefully. Twice he had pushed him out of harms way. The crowd got in the ohild's way and his lips puckered. ready l to cry. because he was cheated out of his chance to see the aeroplane. Instantly Wright darted forward, picked up the boy and carried him past the police lines so that he could see the machine at close l range.
 T am constantly astonished at the re- markable knowledge that children have about flying machines" he told me one day. q find they know more than the average grown person. It is the child that holds the key to future aviation. In the l child of today pin my hope of the future great strides in the art"
 | but personal worth was most signally H.
 lustrated by his reception of the Kings
 of England and Spain at Pau. When these
 noted great ones of Europe's high world wished to sec the aeroplane they were obliged to go to Pau. It is probably one of the few incidents recorded when the
 rulers of Europe journeyed many miles
 to see and have speech with a man who
 once was a bicycle repairer and the pub | fisher of a country newspaper. 1 It made no difference to Wilbur Wright that Edward was the King of Great
 Britain. When they urged him to fly be-
 cause the King was present Wright said: 1 T am not flying for the entertainment of Kings. I am selling aeroplanes to the French government. I am here for a specific purpose. My life is worth some l thing to me, but more than anything else,
 l must see that make my flights only
 under the best weather conditions" 1 The impetuous young King of Spain was exceedingly condescending to the silent American and spent many hours in going over his machine. It bothered Wright be- cause it held him from his programmed work. But he bore the intrusion cour- teously.
 Finally the King suggested that Wright should take his equerry up. The inventor merely shrugged his shoulders, smiled, and ordered the men to put the aeroplane in it's shed.
 In France his extraordinary simplicity and laconic speeches made such im- pression on the mercurial Latins that his memory is almost saintly. At Pau they preserve with all the sacredness that att l taches to their shrines the little wooden
 shed in which he lived and stored his aero plane. The town is full of places which
 are noted principally because they figure
 some way in the association of the place
 with the great "Wreet.''

County Buildings and Fee System

The report of the grand jury for the April term was submitted on Fri day in Judge Cahalan's court. It is full of timely suggestions presented in a courteous way. There are no sensations in it, not even when it dis cusses the fee system, and the jus tices of the peace who are adapted to rural communities only. What the grand jury says about law enforce ment in this county should be care- fully read and perhaps reread. It deserves second reading.
 The report also condemns the court house and jail, and it finds less to admire in the former than in the lat ter. It indorses Dr. Oates, prison in spector, when he says the courthouse is less sanitary than the county jail.
 The portion of the grand jury re- port that relates to new county build ings should be carefully read, for it foreshadows no doubt material changes in public buildings in this county.
 Every citizen should read what the grand jury submits on this subject, for particulars are furnished and all needful details explained. The sub ject is one that the county cannot much longer evade. The manner of it's settlement calls for the best thought of all citizens, and particu- larly of our qualified voters.

Possibilities in the Conventions

The steam roller is taking "the bluff, bulldoze and buster" out of the Roosevelt campaign. The decisions in the Alabama contested cases point the way. Mir. Taft controls the national committee and the national committee will control the convention which meets one week from next Tuesday.
 It is practically determined that the convention that is to meet in the Coli scum will be steam-rolled into Taft ian body. There may be nothing spectacular in it. MT. Taft stands to win on the first ballot, backed as he is by the national committee.
 Will the delegates of the ex-Presi- dent proceed to bolt? Will they leave the Coliseum as soon as Senator Root is elected temporary chairman and of ficial keynoter? These are difficult questions to answer, but either the colonel will have to accept the situa- ton as it is handed out by the na- tional committee, or else he will have to bolt. Those who know him best say he will not leave Chicago-for he will probably go there-until he has bagged nomination either from the regular steam-rolled convention, or from one organized to nominate him.
 Either way the democrats have a walkover, always provided they meet public sentiment in their platform and ia the ticket they make. They cer-

Cuban Annexation As An Issue

Congress will probably cover the two conventions with three-day re- cesses, and no important bills will be passed until after the conventions have met, acted and adjourned. In other words, public business in Con- gress is practically suspended by ab- senteeism until July 1.
 By that time affairs in the Cuban republic will be pretty we'll deter mined. President Gomez will soon have the aid of not only 1500 marines from the United States, but he will also have a full supply of rifles and ammunition.
 Torrential rains are falling in Oriente province, and President Gomez will at the best find it diff ficult to keep down racial war conducted by guerillas. Poorly armed as the rebels are they bid fair to in- crease in number as the day for the presidential election approaches in Cuba. The President of Cuba is a candidate for second term.
 If the footing goes on intervention on the part of this country will al- most surely follow. The issue of a proclamation by President Taft is all that is needed to meet the legal re- quirements preliminary to interven- tion. And if MT. Taft be renominated at Chicago, the country may be called upon to back up intervention in Cuba, which is generally understood to mean annexation. This would be the third occupation of Cuba, and the Cubans have been told that the third occupa- tion would be permanent. The an- nexation of Cuba would in that case become the platform of MT. Taft's second campaign, but even this would not obscure, much less eclipse, the tariff issue.

Mobiles Assessments

Two years ago Mobiles tax com missioner undertook to raise valua- tions for taxation purposes freely, and the board of county commissioners the board of revenue in Mobile coun- ty-speedily vindicated its authority over proposed valuations. All cases were duly docketed, and each individ- ual asked that no increase be con- firmed against him.
 This seems to be the course that the Board of Revenue is taking in Jeffer- son county. It sits in executive ses- sion, and the public do not know ex- actly what is going on behind doors, but it is plain our Board of Revenue will act in accord with similar action in Mobile county. "No one," says the Mobile Register, "saw fit to class Mobilians two years ago as tax dodg- CTS and nullifiers of the law, or as be- ing devoid of willingness to bear their share of the public burden"
 The code provides that the board of revenue shall first determine whether or no under-valuation exists in given case, and if it is not fully satis- fled it becomes it's duty "to give notice, try and dispose of assessment as in other cases of under-valuation." ]" Mobile went through the process two years ago, and it came out of the -streggle tinharmed.

THE FINGERLEss GLOVE

From the Daily Chronicle
 How early did mankind think of the convenience of the fingerless glove, which modern babies. fishermen md Alpine climbers appreciate so greatly? We hear little of gloves in ancient times, and in most cases it is obvious that they had fingers. Those worn by the secre- tary of the younger Pliny, used when he visited Vesuvius, so that he might keep on jotting down notes in spite of the cold, must have been fingered, no less than those of the glutton In Athenaeus, who wore gloves at table so that he might handle the meat while hot and get in advance of his bare-handed fellow diners. One of the earliest known wearers of a glove with only one thumb is an An glo-Saxon lady shown in Planche's His tory of British Costume Her gloves exactly resemble a modern babys.

Jurisdiction of the Commerce Court

The commerce court has been so soon done for it must begin to wonder what it was begun for. The United States supreme court holds that the commerce court has no power over pure questions of fact. It is confined to questions of law. It can determine whether or no a given decision of the interstate commission violates the constitution or statutory authority, but there its authority ends. It can not say whether a rate is reasonable or otherwise, for that is question that rests alone in the discretion of the interstate commission. The fed eral courts of all sorts could once pass on questions of law and of fact, but the interstate commission, which is a quasi judicial body, can alone regu- late rates in order that there may be unity in that respect.
 The decision of the court of last resort in the Proctor and Gamble case" was unanimous, and it renders the interstate commission the sole judge of rates, provided it keeps with in the limitations of the law. The commerce court has no right to deal directly with rates or the facts in a given case. It's business is confined to the keeping of the interstate com mission within the constitution and the statutes.

Albert pilse,s "Buenn vista,

"It has been suggested from time to time that the friends and literary ad- mirers of the late Albert Pike take steps to have a new edition of his poems pub lissled," said an old citizen who was per sonally acquainted with General Pike and who saw a great deal of him in the sos and 9os. Many persons knew him best as the head freemason,' but others felt an interest in him chiefly as a poet. General Pike was very remarkable man and an extremely modest man about his literary work. His little volume entitled, Hymns to the Gods published long be- fore my day, and out of print, contain sev- eral poems that will measure up in emo- ton and rhythm to the best, perhaps, that any American has produced. If he had written nothing but the Sonnet to Au' tumn. The Moclxing Bird and Every Year his name would live.
 "General Pike was a good fighter in the Mexican war, and when he was a youth his poem 'Buena Vista attracted attention and was often recited by patriotic boys It is longer I believe, than any of his poems unless it be The Widowed Heart or The Lost Isadore,' which Ingram, the English biographer of Poe says served as the inspiration for Poes Raven There are some particularly fine lines in 'Buena Vista. Probably some of our older vet erans recall this poem. The last two stanzas run thus:
 " 'Ho! Hardin breasts it brayely! Mckee
 and Bissell there.
 Stand firm before the storm of balls that
 fill the astonished air, The lancers are spent them, too; the foe
 swarms ten to one; Hardin is slain; Mckee and Clay the last
 time see the sun;
 And many another gallant heart. in that
 last desperate fray, Grows cold-its last thoughts turning to it's
 loved ones far away.
 " Still suddenly the cannon roared, but
 died away at last;
 And OCT the dead and dying came the
 evening shadows fast; And then above the mountains rose the
 cold moons silver shield, And patiently and pityingly looked down
 upon the field;
 And careless of his wounded, and neglect
 full of his dead,
 Desparingly and sullen in the night. Santa
 Anna fled

BRooKLYN,s NEW THEATRE
rom the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 In Brooklyn, the borough of churches and baby carriages, a society has beer incorporated with a capital of half mil lion dollars to build playhouse and show the world the possibilities of the drama as a source of inspiration and enlighten- ment. This new civic home of dramatic art Is not to be temple of luxury. built as was the New Theatre by the rich and for the rich. It Is to rest it's modest foundations on s1o contributions from the great mass of playgoers.
 The same spirit of democracy is to dominate the repertoire Experts on the drama as well as playgoers have been asked to make suggestions as to the first ten plays and the almost unanimous opin- ion seems to be that patrons of en- dowed theatre must be entertained if they are to be pleased. Such authorities as Brander Matthews, Walter Prichard Fla. ton and Otis Skinner have urged the man. agement to prefer pleasant to gloomy plays Professor Matthews would present only English and American dramas dur ing the first season. balancing the classic comedies with graceful satires of our owr day
 In the past we have taken our endowed theatres too seriously. assuming that they could exercise their cultural influence only by producing somber tragedies or vexation problem plays. The vain en- deavor to secure the attendance of the larger public upon such productions brought heavy losses to. the founders oi the New Theatre in New York and the supporters of drama players in Chicago Brooklyn seems more inclined to tempt the public with such plays as Gilbert' sEngaged,' Wilde's Lady Windermcre' Fan" Goldsmith's "She Stoops to Con quer'' and the Shakespearean comedies In their own way these plays should con- tribute to turn the luck of the endowed theatre idea in the country.

 Clutches and canes were piled in the front yard of the good old doctor Drugs became things to forget and all the Latin Doctor Still ever knew was relegated to the rag bag of Time Fifteen years passed and in order to care for the patients that came to him he had to call on the help of oth- CTS. Several young men acted as his assistants.
 An addition was put on the old farmhouse and Doctor still daily in structed his boys. and he instructed | the patients that came. And thus nat urally without violence of direction. merely as a matter of course, tho science of osteopathy was born.
 osteopathy simply means the science of adjustment of the human machine It Is based upon the idea that if there is a right adjustment of the struc- ture, other things being equal, the man will be well.
 Mans business is to adjust himself to his environment and then so to live and act that every tissue will be adjusted one to another.
 Under the conditions, theoretically, waste should equal repair and the man should live forever. The osteopath maintains that we should all live five times the length of time that it takes us to reach our maturity. That is to say, we should all live to be 100 years old; and we should be well, happy and useful all the time.
