months longer at the rate it has been
going the big European nations will
be so exhausted they will trouble no
one, particularly a distant and neu-
tral nation like this. Nor will Japan
bother us If for no other reason than
because our navy is greatly superior
to the Japanese navy.
But there is one great step that
may be taken towards improving our
military efficiency and that consists
in withdrawing as soon as we con-
sistently can from the Philippines.
The present administration favors
this move and a measure looking to
that goal is now before the senate
with the presidents endorsement.
Those who are not mere jingoes but
really give thought to the question OF
safety from war will support this
measure. Why don't the blatherskite
papers like the Oregonian say some
thing in behalf of Philippine inde-

TRAIN HELD FOR IDAHO COW

Editor H. e. O'Dcnnell of the
Hountaineer, Kooskia, Idaho, sends
us the following clipping, which he
reproduced from the Orofino Repub-
lican, with this comment: Coming
from the wild and woolly west 1t
will show the people of the east that
even our railroad men out her are
possessed of a genuine humane
streak:
Talk about accommodating rail-
road officials, Conductor George
Phillips, the good-natured fellow
who runs the passenger train on this
line, has everything in the country
backed clear off the map. Saturday
morning the train came sailing into
Orofino, but just above town, at the
big eddy, there was somebody's Jer-
sey cow fas in the wire fence at the
side of the right of way Bossy was
mt on the track and the train wasn't
going to run over her, but she had
put her pretty head through the
fence and got caught. There she
was, and hadn't been MIXED for
some time. Conductor Phillips stop
ped the train, the crew got out and
unfastened the COW, and then ran
into the station, where the conductor
told the people on the platform, and
asked them to see that the cow vas
looked after. "She needs to be milk
ed" he said, and an hour later she
was driven into Swank's livery stable
and relieved of her creamy burden.

A MAN WHO UNDERSTANDS

Bishop Franklin S. Spalding of the 4
Episcopal Diocese of Utah built up
career peculiar to himself. He
labored with a good heart trying to
make Christianity fit the needs or
the hard pressed. He lived among
the Mormons and uttered no harsh
word toward them. When his
brother clergymen wrote IN harsh
spirit he reproyed them and assailed
their literature of hatred ever more
vigorously than the Mormons them
selves. He very largely broke up
the work of a ministerial associa-
tion, some of whose leaders thought
that rabid assault upon everything
connected with the Mormons was
good business. He brought to his
handling of the Mormon problem
sympathy, understanding, and a full
comprehension of the path in which
Mormon leadership was itself pro-
crossing. At Grace church, in New
York, he preached sermon finding
powerfully against the validity OF
the alleged inspirations at the source
of the Mormon creed, but at the
same time he delivered, in narrative
form, the story of Mormon growth
with such accuracy and fairness that
|Mormons in his audience rushed for
ward to grasp his hand. OF radi-
cal clergyman of his own faith who
lost his pulpit, Bishop Spaulding
said: HE has my sympathy;
knew him we'll, and yet, as Ray
mond Robbins says, social service is
a pretty big gun to fire, and the
preacher who tries to shoot If of
must remember the rule of artillery,
that the gun must weight one humid
red times more than the charge. I
am afraid our radical friend did not
always practice this important rule"
Little meetinghouses which Bishop
'Spaulding opened in frontier terri
tory, where but a decade ago Ute
Indians stalked game in the Uinta
range of mountains, will grow
larger as the pears pass and will re-
call to the people Bishop who be-
lieved ar ardently in the church as
as in needs of those who toll. An
automobile accident some days ago
resulted in Bishop Spaulding's death.
1t left the far west the poorer for
one of it's most compelling figures.

CAN THIS BE TRUE?

The parcel post is splen lid insti-
tuition which ought to be fostered
and perfected. But We are some
times disturbed by the feeling that
the rates aren't adjusted as we'll as
might be, and that the post office
department, in common with all
other government departments, has
MT got a system of accounting good
enough to guard against waste and
inefficiency. Thes fears are renewed
upon seeing the following paragraph
in a recent issue of the Railway
Age Gazette:
A certain contractor has the mail
star route between Holbrook and
Snowflake, Arid. Recently this rep
resentative of the government
bought 10000 pounds of barley at
Mesa, Ariz., on the Arizona Eastern,
and shipped it by parcel post via
Holbrook to Snowflake. The barley
cost him 95 cents per 100 pounds.
Therefore, laid down at Snowflake
the barley cost him $2.03 per 100
pounds. For transporting the bar
ley via parcel post from Holbrook to
Snowflake, the contractor received
from Uncle Sam 1925 per 100
pounds, or % cents per 100 pounds
more than the cost of the barley plus
the postage on it to Snowflake. In
other words, in effect, Uncle Sam
made his enterprising mail contrac-
tor present of the barley and also
OF the transportation of 1t, and, in
addition, gave him p2 cents for &C.
cepting his Uncle's beneficence. His
10000 pounds of barley laid down
at Snowflake cost him just $22 less
than nothing"
We give the paragraph as we
found 1t, without investigation. If
true, there's a good deal of explain
ing for some government officials to
do. Here is something for the Demo-
cratic administration to get going
right before it goes into the ocean
freight business Weekly.

Again silence in the room. while
look of contempt gathered in Abra-
ham Lincoln's eyes that scared ia
sons cool young soul till it scorched
within him. You poor fool" said
household treasurers-one by one
for you. Useless things-fit for mu-
seums! Oh, you fool"
Jason flushed angrily and bit his
lips. Suddenly the President rose
and pointed long, bony finger at
his desk. Come here and sit down
and write a letter to your mother"
Jason stalked obediently over and
sat down in the Presidents seat.
Anger and modification were i'll in
SEPARATIONS for letter-writing, but und-
er Lincoln's burning eyes Jason seiz-
ed pen and wrote his mother a
stilted note. Lincoln paced the floor,
pausing now and agin to look over
Jason's shoulder.
Address it and give it to me. I"
said the President. "I'll see that it
gets to her." Then, his stern voice
rising little: And now, Jason Will
kins, as lons as you are in the army,
you write to your mother once a
week. If I have reason to correct
you on the matter again, I'll have
you courtmertialLd."
Jason rose and handed the letter
to the President, then stood, angry
and silent, awaiting further orders.
Abraham Lincoln took another turn
or two up and down the room. Then
he paused before the window and
looked from it long, long time.
Finally he turned to Jason.
> "My boy" he said gently, there is
no finer quality in the world than
gratitude. There is nothing a man
can have in his heart so mean, so low
as ingratitude. Even a dog appreci-
ates kindness, never forgets a soft
word, or bone. To my mind, the
noblest holiday in the world is
Thanksgiving. And, next the Creator,
there is no one the holiday should
be dedicated to as much as to
mothers"
Again Lincoln paused, and looked
from the boyish face of the young
surgeon out of the window at the
bleak November skies, and Lincoln
said to Jason, with God knows what
tragedy of memory in his lonely
heart:
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky:
Thou .dost not bite so nigh
AS benefits forgot"
Another pause. "You may go, my
boy" And Lincoln shook hands with
Jason, who stumbled from the room,
his mind a chaos of resentment and
anger. He made his way down Pen
nsylNania avenue, pausing as two
army officers rode up to hotel and
dismounted, leaving their horses.
Something about the big gray that
one of the officers rode seemed
vaguely familiar to the young doctor.
The gray turned his small, intelligent
head toward Jason then with a sud.
den soft whinny, laid his head on
Jason's shoulder and nuzzled his
cheek gently. Jason looked at the
right fore shoulder. A three-corner-
ed scar was there. Jason and Old
Pilgrim never had met but once, and
was little more than a
boy. Suddenly he threw his arms
around Old Pilgrims neck, and Sob

POLICEMAN FIRES shot
IT GERMAN AMBASSADOR


CHAMPAIGN, Illinois, June H.
ASSOCIATED Fress by Federal Wireless)
-Over-zealous attention to duty on the
part Of a special police officer almost
led to the death of Count J. II. won
Bernstorff, ambassador extraordinary
and plenipotentiary from Germany to
the United States.
Count won Bernstorff's automobile
was travelling at a rate Of speed, judged
by an officer to be in violation Of the
speed limit and the officer fred point
blank at the car. None of the party,
however, was injured, although the
bullet passed through the tonneau very
close 20 the head Of the ambassador.
Count Won Bernstorff was ON his way
TO the University of Illinois to deliver
the commencement address and receive
honors from the institution.
Every effort TO rectify the error Of
the special officer who fred at Baron
Count Won BernstorfE's party has been
made by the local authorities. The
policeman has been dismissed from the
force and an apology has been tender
ed to the distinguished German, Count
