His Position Explained.

One of the curiosities of the British
house of commons, very rarely seen,
was Erie Drax, for many years mem
Der for Dorsetsnire borough. Once,
at a general election, on the day pre-
vious to the nomination, he put out
the following address to his constitu-
ents: Electors of Wareham! | un-
derstand that some evil-disposed per-
son has been circulating a report that
I wish my tenants, and other persons
dependent upon me, to vote according
to their conscience. This is a das-
tardly lie, calculated to injure me.
I have no wish of the sort. l wish,
and l intend, that these persons shall
vote for me-"

Tea Was Not Popular in 1853.

A description Of a model country
rector's household in al issue of the
London World for 1853 shows that
tea-drinking was then far from gen
eral: His only article of luxury is
tea. but the doctor says he would
forbid that, If his wife could forget
her London education. However. they
seldom offer 1t but to the best com.
pany, and less than a pound will last
them a twelvemonth."
A few years prior to this the Fe-
male Spectator declared that the tea
table costs more to support than
would maintain two children at
nurse; 1t is the utter destruction OF
all economy. the bane of good house
and the source of idleness."

that the most vigorous defenders OF
the courts are under the court protec.
ton the most vicious pefamers of all
else; but it is at least due our self
respect that we take issue with these
wholesale defamers of the newspaper
craft. The one vital point in the criti-
cism of punishment by judicial decree
for contempt, is that it is not a trial
IN evidence, but a privileged punish
ment amenable TO nothing but caprice,
and without any ecourse or appeal
whatsoever. That courts should some
times take this view, and that their
strongest champions should habitually
take refuge behind their handmade
sanctity of the court room in order to
make cowardly and ~unprovoked, nnde-
Tended assaults on witnesses or enc
mics, for hire, is the one strongest ar
raignment of the courts themselves.
Vhis phase of criticism of public acts is
directed against the lawyers who,
sworn in as part of the court itself,
have muckraked and vilified as have no
newspapers in the history of America.
To those who do not follow this cow-
ardly method, it can not possibly apply,
but to those who do, it is specifically
directed, both as individuals and as a
part of the court that they defend.
We are all Americans. trying to get
what we can out of life; trying to do
mems parts in making things better
for all who live. Doubtless we do not
all think or believe alike; doubtless
there are weak and ignoble men in
newspaperdom as in other walks of
life. If all were Solomons, their criti-
cisms would be invaluable; so, too, if
all other men were Solomons, these
criticisms would O be needed.
1t is the way of life, to grow by seeing
the defects of things as they are, and
to be dissatisfied to the point of over
throwing the present regime for the
Utopian ideal we build in our own
fancy. When Thorwaldson, the great
Danish sculptor, found that he had
chiseled a statue that really satisfied
him, he burst into inconsolable tears.
"Alas, he said, II have commenced
to decline; otherwise l could never
have been satisfied with my own
This is universally true. There
not, and never was, and perhaps
never will be, an absolutely perfect
newspaper; nor was there ever an
absolutely perfect official, or ever an
absolutely infallible or immaculate
court. These things can never be while
humanity is human. Until the millen-
UNI, when there is no further need of
newspapers, the need for criticism
contradictory, fault-6nding
,riticlsm---will endure. One should be
gentleman in his criticism; there are
so ignorant or boorish as not to
the line between wanton v%ilifca-
ion and sharp though helpful criticism.
With the practice of the law so plain
'efore US in its basing every charge,
very accusation, every prosecution, on

Although the Hawaii fair commits
sion and the officials of the Panama
Pacific exposition again have come to
icggerheads, this time over the matter
of selling concessions in which the
latter have set forth rather strenuous
objections to Hawaii offering for sale
in her building anything from which a
proft might be derived, the commits
sioners, meeting at 10 O'Clock this
morning. intimated that, once the fair
officials are correctly informed as to
the arrangements Of the building to
provide for such concessions, and the
fact made clear that Hawaii intends
making no profits from her conees-
sions, the matter may be satisfactorily
Strengthened out and the commission

its present plans. IT,

the president of the exposition, al
which time the question of selling

matter was discussed to some extent,
with the result that the president ad-
dressed personal letter to Mr.. VIII

on the matter, and it was agreed that

exposition official for the views which
he has taken, for 1t Is plain he Is
merely upholding the set rules and
regulations Of the exposition. On the
other hand. Hawaii intends making no
profit on her exhibits or the things
which she intends having for SALE. and
the location of the sales would in no
way interfere with what might be go-

luton was passed by the commission
to the effect that a letter, setting forth

ing Of the committee is called in the
McCandless building, Bethel street, at

Charles Barron, vice-chairman of
the Democratic county committee, is
credited with being one of the NOV
ing powers In the fight to oust Pa

bon organization in Hawaii. Barron
makes no secret of the fact that he
Is "ont to get Pacheco, and he and
his friends are securing number Of
proxies to be used at the proper time
in q vote to depose the chairman and
substitute another.
Barron gives as the reasons for the
fight that the Democratic territorial
committee, under present administFa-
tion, is practically close corporation
and that the Democrats Of the terri
tory know nothing OF what the CEN
tral organization is doing,
Barron.s claim Is that Pacheco and
National Commit John H. VIII
son are ruling with too high a hand,
making Endorsements without refer
ence to the wishes Of the rank and
file of the party, and In particular
are not always supporting homegrown
candidates for Office.

MopERNIzINo ENGLISH STUDY.

That the teahing OF English In the
high school needs thorough reorgani-
zation to bring II into touch with mod
ern social and industrial demands is
frankly stated by Professor James F..
Hosic of Chicago Teachers College,
in a report just published by the Uni
ted States bureau of education The
report contains preliminary sugges-
tons for a course in English that will
meet present-day requirements.
In this course English composition
will be limited to subjects for speak
ing and writing which can be made to
appeal to young people, according to
DR.. fosic. 'In both composition and
literature there will be a shift of en-
phasis towards those subjects and ac-
tivities that are of greatest value in
actual life-for example, oral express
sion-and towards modern books and
periodicals. II is not to be inferred.
however that the supreme values in
hecent in the worlds literary master
pieces will be overlooked"
A fairly heavy task in character
training as well as In the mechanics
or English Is put upon the teacher by
the makers of new course. Broad
ly speaking" says the report, lit
should be the purpose of every Eng
fish teacher first to quicken the spirit
and kindle the mind and Imagination
OF his pupils, and to develop habits of
weighing and judging human conduct
with the hope of leading them to high
er living; second, to supply the pupils
with an effective tool for use in their
future private and public life-i e.,
the best command of language which,
under the circumstances. can be given
them" The report then gives an out
line Of the proposed English instruc-
ton from the seventh grade through
the high school.
This revision of the high school
course in English Is part of COM
plete reorganization of secondary edu-
cation planned by a committee of the
National Education association. Pre-
liminary statements for the different
subjects have just been issued by the
United States bureau of education.

Why Live in the City?

| have seen great many farmers
retire at the age of fifty years or
thereabouts. After life OF hard toll
and scrimping they go to town to live.
They may be worth. perhaps, 100000,
but what does life of leisure in town
mean to such people? II they had
broadened out little on the farm
they would get more out Of life when
they came to retire. But why should
any sane individual wish to quit life
on the farm for an existence in the
village? Don't search me for the an
swer. II they have to move IN order
to get school advantages for their chill
dren that is another thing, but II they
are able to retire they are able to keep
an automobile and give the children
a refreshing ride to town and back ev.
cry day. The truth is the man who
can retire from the farm is the one
who can best AFFORD to remain on II
and raise his children in the country.

STUDYING FOREST METHODS.

David u. T. Yui, formerly secretary
to the president OF the Chinese repub-
lie, is now travelling in this country to
learn modern methods for adoption
in China He is at present inNcharge
of the lecture board of the Chinese
Y. NJ. c. A., which is in close touch
with the new government and is aid
ing in putting into effect an education
al campaign for the citizenship of the
republic.
While in Washington recently Mr..
Yul spent some time investigating the
work Of the forest service, In order
that he might find out whether its or
ganization and methods would be OF
value to the newly created department
of agriculture and forestry in China.
In speaking of this part Of his work,
Mr.. Yui said:
I'm the matter Of forest conserva-
ton the United states profited much
by looking upon the disasters which
were the result OF the Chinese neglect
OF forestry. This was great warn
ing to you. Now we wish to profit by
the imprc1ed method of forestry
which the United States has discov
cred and applied
