CONCERNING CASTRO.

| CONCERNING CASTRO.
Recent efforts to deport Hon. Ciprian
Castro may not be a suitable subject
Tor criticism. Enough evidence can be
submitted to show the western hemi-
sphere mas sufficient trouble without
any contribution from his well known
rourteen-1nch vein, and that may be
reason enough for sending him hence
as Ilrst cabin passenger. Castro
earned MS reputation as a general I'm
rest down in Venezuela, where he had
real opportunities for doing something
worth while. AS youthful cattle man.
following his herds in the high hills,
ne may have been an inspired patriot,
bent on throwing the yoke from his
people. Success has spoiled SO many
men that we give him the benefit of
the doubt. But, instead, he made mat
tiers worse when coming into power,
ana continued to so further in the gen.
eral direction of greed until his in
eVitabie overthrow left him a man
without country, but possessed of
wagon load of spending money. He
now travels in state, with valet to
attend his slightest wishes. But he is
a man without a country, which is I'M
satisfactory in fact as it has been
shown to be in fiction. Also, he has
been a man of action, and loafing about
the boulevards must get on his high
strung nervous system, and arouse
anew the old ambition to start some
thing. Given a foothold in South Amer
lea, where revolutions grow rank and
luxuriant, he would succeed, no doubt.
Hence it is perfectly proper for the
Monroe doctrine to arise in its glory
and bid the deposed dictator stay on
the other side. But, while voicing no
d1sapproVal for this governments earn
est solicitation for the peace and pros
per1ty of puny sister republics to the
southwark, an equal interest in our own
welfare would seem commendable. And
In this connection it is pointed out that
worse problems than Castro come safely
by the portals of Ellis Island. Our
immigration officials, so careful in this
noted instance, carelessly admit the
Black Hand artist. the red-eyed an
archist and other undesirables from the
scum of Southern Europe. These are
evils that hit close to home, and are
more widespread in unpleasant results
than could be any revolution in banana

DOUBLING THE FRUIT YIELD.
Just by way of an experiment Prof.
Hunter of the State university leased a
ten-acre apple orchard last year. The
orchard had been given no care and every
tree in it was afflicted with Dlotch, bitter
rot and Goblin moth. Prof. Hunter spray
ed some of the trees and left some of the
others unsprayed- The result at the end
products of the sprayed trees was sound
and marketable while only IA per cent
OF the product on the unsprayed trees was
In that condition. The Goblin moth was
found in from 10 to so per cent of the I'M
sprayed fruit. while but one and one-half
per cent of the sprayed fruit was wormy.
1t is the old story over again, the moral
of which is that the farmers of Kansas
could increase the yield of their orchards
from 800 to 500 per cent by proper atten-
ton.-Iola Register.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP PROBLEMS.

The first claim made for public
| ownership is that service can be rem
| dered cheaper, but when all proper
items of expense are included-such
items as a private enterprise must in
clude If it is to liye-it will not be
found that there is any very great diff
ference in the cost of supplying SER
vice between well managed private
and public supplies, while poorly man
aged public supplies make a worse
showing than poorly managed private
supplies, writes Walter S. Allen in the
January number of the North Ameri-
can Review.
First of all, it must be admitted
that although the accounting methods
of public service companies often
leave much to be desired, that certain
ly. in this country at least, municipal
and governmental accounting methods
are hopelessly antiquated and as var
led as the whims of officials make
them. One important reason given
for public ownership has been the fact
that municipalities have been able to
borrow money at a lower rate than
companies. This has been true and is
now, to a certain extent, but the rates
for municipal loans and public utility
bonds have been steadily approaching
one another and this process is like
ly to continue. The enormous mu-
nicipal debts which American and
English cities are running up are
tending to render capital cautious;
and although not only the property
of the municipality, but that of every
individual citizen, stands as security
for the municipal loans, still the diff
ficulties which would arise if a munich
pality should go into bankruptcy-notl
an unthinkable proposition-does not
allure the investor. This may seem
an exaggerated statement, but the
United States census bureau reports
show that between 1902 and 1908 the /
sixteen largest cities in the United
States increased their gross debts by |
$646, 100000, or 71.6 per cent, while
during the same time their popula- !
ton increased only 15.5 per cent. |
This means that the gross debt of
these cities for each man, woman and
child living in them increased from
$75.47 to $112.50. Such an increase
cannot continue without a demand
from investors for higher rate of
interest to compensate for the risk.

EVENING CHAT
eff L Had Only Realized"
By RUTH CAMERON,


IF had only realized when I was a
child how much more work it made to
have people disorderly and careless
about their things I am sure I should
have been more careful. But / didn't
realize"
That is the oft expressed sentiment
! of one young woman who has recently
gone to housekeeping in a home of
her own. And fancy there are many
of us who could say the same thing
| we didn't realize. And not about that
matter only but about many matters.
1 have heard it said that children are
naturally selfish. I beg to differ. I
think they are naturally full of the
most generous impulses. But do adj
init that they are naturally thoughtless
and that is what makes them seem
selfish. 1t is not that they would be
deliberately selfish and unkind, it is
just that they have lived so short a
time that they do not understand the
trouble and pain and self-denial they
may be the cause of-they just don't
realize.
L once knew wise mother who
grasped this fact and based her train
ing on the effort to make her children
realize exactly what they were doing
when they were thoughtless or care
less or unreasonable.
For instance, take the very matter of
which the young housewife spoke. This
mother had a daughter who was ter
ribly slack about leaving things around.
She would come into the house and
leave her coat on one chair and her
fur on another, throw her gloves on
the table and put her hat pins on the
mantel-piece, and only put away her
hat because she was afraid something
would happen to the feathers If she
didn't. Her mother talked and talked
to no avail. Finally she decided to
make the daughter realize the trouble
CHI lei Ch FOLD hnr- hot
for the next week she, the mother,
would not pick up one thing that any
of the children left lying round, that
her daughter must keep the house in
order as a punishment for past mis-
deeds, and that if she failed to do SO,
she would not be allowed to go to a
certain function to which she was look
ing forward. AS all the other children
inherited more or less tendency to dis
orderliness from an artistic father, her
task was by no means easy. Needless
to say, the end of the week found her
trouble leaving things round made. I
will be more careful in the future"
Again when the two older children
got the habit Of teasing for things that
were beyond the family purse, this wise
woman instead of scolding, simply took
them into her confidence about the
family income and outgo, asked their
help about keeping the accounts, and
without saying a word of her purpose
to them, soon made them realize for
themselves why they could not have
everything that other children had. |
And after that she had no more trouble |
with teasing.
Look back into your own childhood |
and see if the unkind, the selfish, the |
thoughtless, the cruel things that you |
did were not all done because you did |
not realize.
What better basis then, could we
have for training our children than
helping them to realize now instead of
years afterward when it is too late?

NEWSPAPERS BEAT NOVELS.

The fact that truth is stranger than
fiction is proved a dozen times a day
to the person fortunate enough to
glimpse the papers Of the land. And
the fact that it is far more interesting,
because blood flows in its veins in
stead of ink, is constantly borne in
upon him.
Much of what becomes common
place after a long course of such
reading is more out of the ordinary
than the tales the most imaginative
writer could devise and make plausi-
BILE What novelist. for instance.
could think of anything SO improbable
as the eleventh hour indictment of a
farmer because of a practical joke
played upon him?
He was i'll in a hospital in Gross
warden, Hungary, and a fellow pa
tent was an actor with the joking
proclivities of his craft. He grew
convalescent while the farmers ILL
ness increased, and so when he heard
the farmer desiring the services of a
priest, he dressed up in canonicals and
heard the sick mans confession.
He expected a recital of peccadilloes
and the like and was going to have a
good laugh on the farmer when he
grew well enough for such fooling,
but the comedy turned grim tragedy
and grewsome, too, when the farmer
confessed. that he had murdered one
of his farm hands, several years ago,
and, setting fire to his house, had
has been arrested.
And what writer could have devised
such an almost impossible happening
as really took place in the Waldorf,
last Tuesday, when an indignant
patron soundly thrashed a waiter for
splitting soup on him? The usual
course is to smile and give a larger
tip.
Then there was the sentimental case
of the aged husband. sixty years in
loving companionship with his wife,
who died two hours after her death,
though apparently in good health,
murmuring, sit won't be long, Han
nah; am coming"
A priest, falling in love with n
nurse, thinks over his love for year
to see if it would warrant his break
ing his vows, and after the twelve
months has expired he marries the
girl. A boy of eight, seriously burned
on the legs, has the skins of the
stomachs of eight puppies grated on
the burns, and a teamster, finding the
doors of his house locked and barred
against him, backs a mule against the
door, tickles the mule and has the
door smashed in by the animals
kicks.
These are but part of the casual
outcroppings of life in a hasty read
ing of the days news. A systematic
search might multiply the examples
by the score,

China's Divorce Law.

There is only one legal wife in
China; she is the Kit-fat, and she
alone is carried to the bridegroom
house in the red sedan chair. The Kit
fat may be legally divorced on seven
accounts: if she has no chlIuren; if
she proves immoral; disobedience to
her husbands parents; -talkative;
given to thieving; if she is jealous: or
afflicted with leprosy-
This sounds a very comprehensive
series of reasons; yet in point of fact
none of them can be urged if the wife
has observed mourning during three
years for her husbands parents; if the
family has become wealthy, having
been poor when she married; or If her
parents are dead, so that she cannot
return to them, so it is easier and

says UNCLE CIV

There's a heap of sense in the old
story about the parrot who was too
| ready to part with his conversation. A
lot of people with more or less limited
| mentalities manage to get through the
world with regulations for wisdom
simply by keeping still when they
nave nothing to say. There are others
who are really worth while who keep
their ne.ghbors SO thoroughly in
formed as to their mental processes
that their shortcomings as we'll as
their virtues are an open book. And
any newspaper man can tell you that
the world and his wife will read and
remember scandal when they wouldn't
give a passing thought to the good
deeds of a saint or the epochmaking
scientific achievements of an Edison
or Carrel.
Thus the timidity of the mentally
frail sometimes serves them better
than the vanity of the mentally fit
For vanity vaunteth itself and loveth
much speech. And there comes a time
when even the wisest runs out of WIS
dom and must resort to the discussion
or his own follieS or keep still. More
over, there was never yet one so wise
as to be able to distinguish at all times
between his virtues and his vices. In
the classical ages we wished that our
enemies might write books. Today
we say: Let them talk, and see that
there's reporter present" It's much
than waiting to whale the ssuffing out
of an ambitious literary effort. Now
adays everybody reads the newspa-
pers and does his own whaling
Silence was ever more dignified than
speech. Moreover, we have inherited
from our cave-men ancestors q re-
spect and a fear for that which we
cannot understand Mystery is Ma

and we are never quite clear of the
shadow of it. AS our forefathers
peopled the deeps and the silent

the habit of all of us to give the in
scrutable man credit for more than he
has, to impute to him powers that he
does not possess. And this imputed
conquers us. We fear to
