CONGRESSMAN c. B. Miller has
left the PHILIPPINES on his return to
this country. He has been there
in the interests of the U. S. govern
ment to study conditions. In an
interview he stated that he was in
favor of an elective senate for the
PHILIPPINES and said he believed that
country had made more progress
in the last fifteen years than any
other nation in the world.

The way a man takes defeat
shows what he is made of. The
athlete who always lays his defeat
to the judges shows a streak of
yellow, the baseball or football team
that puts the blame on the umpires
shows the yellow streak, and a man
who loses a case in court in which
he was found to be in the wrong
by jury and complains of not
getting square deal shows the
same yellow streak. Seldom do
the parties making the claim of I'm
fairness have any cause for COM

THE soundest and simplest econ
omy conceived by this Administra-
ton is under consideration by the
House Committee on Post Offices
and the joint Committee on Print
ing. One proposes to abolish the
Thanking privilege, and substitute
a sufficient allowance for postage.
The other proposes to reduce the
public printing to reports, speeches
and documents of real use, and for
which there is real demand.
Economy is not parsimony, but
prevention of waste. Since the
engineering department got hold of
river and harbor work, and since
the architectural profession got
hold Of public buildings, there has
been no more shocking waste than
the flood of useless merchandise
franked and the volume of public
printing of no value or interest
sent under it. When the Govern
ment simply pays postage on neces-
sary official letters and pays for
printing matter somebody really
wants, an evil example of waste
will be ended as we'll as money
saved.-Minneapolis Journal.

CONGRESSMAN Sydney Anderson
and his late secretary Ole M. Le-
wang have made public their private
correspondence. Levang says he
made Anderson a figure and then
was promptly kicked out of his
position. Ole cannot lay distinc-
ton to having made very much
when he made Anderson and he
can rest assured that the Anderson
fellow did the unmaking complete
ly by himself. 1t is hard to be &C
cused of being sponsor and we
would hardly blame Ole for deny
ing his part of the business.

trying conditions were as cool as a
cucumber and as collected as the
furniture mans bills, and who
] was mt afraid of nawthin, attacked
by buck fever without a moment S
warning, and their behavior was
something scandalous. Their antics
were worse than the most high
explosive stories we hear of Bed
lam, and the country for mile and
miles around was not safe place
for anybody to be in.
We have seen men who could hit
the bulls eye at a hundred yards,
off hand, nine times out of ten,
who, when attacked with buck
fever, could mt hit barn and them
inside of it, much less deer broad
side at twenty-five PAGES. We
have seen the buck fever victim,
while deer stood looking right at
him, empty the magazine of his
gun into the ground, the air, the
tree-tops, or scatter the shots
promiscuously throughout the
adjacent tier of counties, and all
the time he was quite sure he was
taking deliberate aim and shooting
at a deer. Then the deer would
flicker it's tail and calmly walk of
into the woods wondering, no
doubt, however that feller got out
of his cage" Buck fever usually
appears with the early November
frosts, and strange feature of it is
that the victim remains perfectly
normal and rational until he comes
up face to face with a moose, a
deer, bear or wolf; yet cases are
not so rare where squirrel, or
even a human being, has started
the victim shooting in an excited
and wabbly fashion at everything
the sun shines upon-and if the
sun isn't shining he shoots just the
same, at everything the sun would
be shining upon if it were shining.
Right now the buck fever season
is at it's height, and while it is
mighty announcement to the victim
it is not half so dangerous to him
as it is to those who may chance to
be in the same county when he is
attacked. Deer and moose and
other wild game is immune-be-
cause the victim never hits any
thing he shoots at,
Some of Our big colleges spend
much time and money in trying to
find the cause of some of the harm
less diseases, like smallpox,
ticdolleroo, appendicitis, epizoodic,
rheumatics and others that concern
only Individuals. while they leave
the bigger things, like buck fever,
to shift for themselves. We would
like to suggest that, in the interest
of true science, these colleges start
their disease sleuths out after this
fell destroyer-tell us what causes
it, what its uses are, and find for us
the remedy.
It would save us lot of ammuni-
ton, and a heap of explainin
afterward. -Mesaba Ore.

SETTING OUT THE HEDGE.

In preparation for the planting Of
the hedge plants, dig a trench about
one foot wide and one foot deep Aid
fill it full Of real rich soil. Add some
fine and we'll rOtted stable manure
to some leaf mold and the top soil
from where the trench was cut and
you will have a good soil for this
purpose. When the hedge plants are
obtained from the nursery they will
be from one to two feet high. Set
them out in this trenchfilled with
rich soil and cut them back to within
three to six inches of the surface
of the ground. Failing to cut them
back this way has caused thousands
of the plants to die.
In digging up the plants practi-
cally all of the feed roots are sure
&c be broken off and very little food
can be taken up before new roots
are developed This being the case,
there is not anything like enough
food to feed all Of the top of the
plant until the new roots are devel-
oped to help take it up. So in cut
ting back these plants you are more
than doubling their chances to live,
instead of endangering their lives
as a good many people seem to I'M
agine. The cutting back hastens the
wood growth and the desired sized
hedge will be obtained more quickly
when cut back this way than when
let alOne.-L. A. NiVen, in The Pro

MEANING OF THE WORD, POLL.
TICS.

A certain citizen is wont to say
that it is incorrect to say that there
should be no politics in the schools,
because it is impossible that on any
public question there must, by the
nature of the case, be politics. He
Of course in so saying thinks that
politics has but one meaning, It's
generic meaning, namely: the science
or practice of government" He should
know that the Century Dictionary
gives also this definition Of the word,
politics: In narrower and more
usual sense the art or vocation Of
guiding or influencing the policy of
government through the organi-
2atiOn of a party among its citizens,
including therefore not only the eth
les of government, but more especial
ly, and often to the exclusion of ethi-
cal principles the art of influencing
public opinion, attracting and mar
shaling voters, and obtaining and dis
tributing public patronage, so far as
the possession of office may depend
upon the political opinions or politi-
cal services of individuals, hence in
an evil sense, the schemes and in
trigues or political parties, or of
cllques, or individual politicians"
1t is in this sense, the more usual,
that the word politics, is used when
the presence of politics in the schools
is deplOred. As shown by the Cen
fury, this is a perfectly correct use
OF the word. When politics is said
to be in the schools, the mere science
OF governing of schools is certainly
not meant, but that improper influ-
ences for some one, either clique or
individual, are always implied and
so understood.

CHEAPER THAN NEGRO SLAVES.

There are parties in New York
City who are engaged in this hid
cons traffic, and the evidence against
them is stated to show that they

DeIleVe that thelr innocent and love

signed to such a fate, and they pre-

feet. 1t is not" he declared. Don't
imagine it is the best in the world.
It. is not. And don't imagine that
law which allows you to underbid
water transportation rates on long
hauls and then to make up the de-
ficiency by raising the freight rates
on short hauls is just. 1t is not.

liams continued, when a laugh that

times as large as that of Great Brit
ain, Yet 1 would not say that the

JOAQUIN MILLER.

The death of Joaquin Miller, the
arratic Poet of the Sierras,' will re-
call to some in st. FranCisyille, when
he came here and leCtured about six
teen years ago. The audience was
pitifully small, and we considered it
reflection not on him but On the
absent, so Indifferent to the prof
fered pleasure. The lecture on some
Western experiences was good but
the personality of the poet was worth
coming in touch with. Erratic we
have called him, but indeed he only
seemed erratic to the cursory obser-
yer. There was a sweet reasonable
ness after all in some Of his most
surprising statements, while his feel
ings were mellow and kind. The writ
er has always been ashamed of his
reception at st. FrancisVille, Illus
trating the truth of his words: "Be
not fOrgetful to entertain strangers;
for thereby some have entertained an

Joaquin Miller was no angel-or at
worst he was a sort of Lucifer, Star
of the Morning, caught to earth and
spared the fall.

NATIONAL HIGHWAYS.

The National Highway Association
has sent US some very interesting
matter concerning its plans to induce
the national government to build high
ways, as is done in European coun-
tries, connecting the large cities and
extending from state to state. The
United States is very far behind the
remainder of the civilized world in
this respect, and it is high time some
thing should be done in this direction.
On the map of the proposed highways,
published merely as suggestional, it
is captivating to note that the line
to Baton Rouge is given an upward
curve that would bring a part of the
road into this section of country.

\. O. States:

y, ". oIdLCO.
The Louisiana congressional delega
ton will not, We are sure, be swayed
from its Endorsement of Mrs. Robert
c. Wickliffe for chief of the Child La
Dor Bureau by the rather ungracious
attitude which the Era Club has as
sUmed toward her appointment. 1t
ought not to, for the Era Club III
this instance, can scarcely be said TO
represent Louisiana sentiment.
The objection raised by Miss Cor
dOn's resolution is that, since he
movement in favor of Mrs. WiCkliffe
was initiated by members Of Congress,
Il must necessarily be political, and
that fitness and not politics ought
solely to govern in the selection Of
the head Of the bureau.
Ignoring the fact that Miss Gordon
is herself a leader in the movement
TO give woman the right of suffrage,
and thus make her a factor even in
ward politics, and hence that her 20
sitiOn in the one case is irreconcila-

A new novelist has these forceful
paragraphs in her latest novel. No
thoughtful person but what will agree
that la mode cannot but have a
cOarsening effect upon those who
wear its extreme styles:
Owing to a wave of decadence
which has recently swept over US,
much Of the beauty Of our modern
woman is degenerate, a reversion 10
an earlier and essentially primitive
type, the beauty of the courtesan.
Though sometimes intellectual,
there is in it nothing of moral or
spiritual beauty. 1t does not express
the aspirations or ideals of the age.
On the contrary, in an age of social
tmancipationS, large contingent of
Cur women have reverted in face,
n dress and in demeanor, to the
demi-mondaine, crude and cheap
reversion which is deplorable when
we consider the pure and lovely
type of beauty womanhood had once
attained and still attains although
with ever-diminishing frequency.

WHY SHOULD FOSTER BE COL
LECToR OF PORT.

1t seems to be the impression
throughout the State that Senator
Murphy Foster, who has been retir-
ed from the high and exalted posi-
ton of Senator from Louisiana, will
be the Democratic appointee for the
Juicy political plum" United States
Collector of Port for New Orleans.
We have no political or other dislike
for Senator Foster, but We fail to
see why he should be given this "fat
job" when there are hundreds of
Democrats in Louisiana who are ev-
cry bit as honorable; who have work
ed harder for the success of the Dem
ocratic party and who are today in
closer touch with the people than the
st. Mary man.
Colonel Ewing, who is the National
Committeeman, is said to be backing
