VALEDICTORY.

It seems to have struck the editorial mind of imagination with good deal of force that our friend, John Rode meyer, should get two parsons tand they of different ecclesiastical affilia- ticns) to fill the sanctum and incident lon purely personal business" At any rate his editorial announcement has been
 cribbed, copied or commented upon in
 papers scattered over wide area. The editor Is now trying to satisfy the claims of his "subs" by assuring them that they were getting "lots of tree advertis- ing out of it anyway" just as though that would help to heat the parsonage or buy Mary little lamb for her dinner. It's The News that's getting the adver- Using and John Rodemeyer, it's absent editor. But never mind, it did us a world of good to see the good will with which the recent and long deferred .pisode in John's life was received an d to know how well his genial spirit and his genius are appreciated outside the con- fines of the village. We are glad too that when about to fly off (well accom- panied) into the big world he let forth from the top of his barnyard fence a chanti-clarion crow that aroused the sIumbering world. It called attention to our efforts. We have had our reward the Hartford Courant copied our editorial on Pharaoh's hobble skirt. To be sure, it was written by the other par. son, but the other one who didn't write 1t feels justified in basking in the sun. light of such recognition. We are now ready to ouit.

THE SPEED OF THE AUTO, AND
 THAT OF THE PEOPLE.

Motorists who know something about automobiles, and who are able mechani- ciahs themselves, will tell you that the transmission or the speed mechanism of the car is very important part of the machine. Among the many cars ill gen. eral use commercially, or for pleasure, we note three types or transmission There are the four-speed; the three speed, pro- gressive or selectlve and the twospee1 or planetary style.
 How fittingly a comparison comes to us in the manner some people go through life. Might we not most aptly say of a fourhundred- possi- bly, "the four hundred" some of them insist as the proper terminology-t that they may be rated as the four-speed auto a people whom a certain American author treats of in h1s book, about keeping up with certain young lady.
 Then we have the three-speed car progressive and selective in point of transmission. We very frequently hear of, and touch elbows with, coterie of folk who, all are to understand, are selective, that is, they draw a marked line regarding whom they shall associate with or whom they shall even recognize. The progressive type speaks for itself. The real danger with them is intemper- ance in all things.
 Finally we come to the two speed or planetary idea. May we not say of them at least in general. that they represent the staid type of the race-a people who have two things in life paramount, vital and ever before them. Those two things are ever pleasing the divine Author of their being, as humanly as they can, and having common sense for their motto at all times. W. HOWARD MILLS.

Methinks the earthly sorrows
 That sometimes dim the eyes, Are kind celestial lenses
 Through which we pierce the skies, And catch the Heavenly vision
 Of life beyond compare; Telling us to be faithful
 That it's joys we may share. It heartens us for action,
 Giving a courage true; And its great inspiration
 Kindles hope's star anew.

"Segregating" the Negro Clerks.

The investigation showed that se- grafton is proceeding apace in the postOffice department, the bureau of engraving and printing, and elsewhere. So far it has been effected without official orders, but the result has been the same. The least desirable. the most crowded, ill.ventilated quarters are assigned to the colored employees.
 Aside from the cruelty of the prac. tice, there Is something particularly abhorrent in the manner Ill which thls change is being effected. It has been done Dy stealth. The President has never avowedIy favored the segre- gation, but his silence implies con sent. He could put an end to it all if he wished. If this is to be part of the administration policy-if it is his conception of the New Freedom, " why should he not come out with it openly?
 These changes, in themselves, are even less important than the evidence they afford of the direction in which we are drifting. As people we are becoming the most intolerant on earth It is a question how long our free institutions can stand mp against the tides of racial prejudice to which they are now subject Boston Herald.

Editor Burr of the Hartford Times is correct in his estimate of the educational valul of editing a newspaper for even the short time of two weeks.
 Right again in his opinion of the value of married life as an educational institu- tion. The temporary editors, who have the honor of being friends of editor Rodemeyer and the additional honor of the joint occupancy his editorial chair while he is absent on his honeymoon, can assure the editor of the Hartford Times they have learned at least this much from the effort viz, it IS easier to grasp the weapon mightier than the sword than to successfully wield it.. And as both are benedicts we have some knowledge acquired in that school, but we wish to warn our esteemed con- temporary that even he might well pause before entering the field of prophecy. We fear that if he keeps his eye cooked to the northwest till the millennium dawns he may become cock. eyed. We have no illusions.
