ONE CURE FOR A DULL EVENING.

The spelling bee is too useful a
form of sport to be lost to city life
The fun we had with II as kids in
the country we all treasure among
the happiest of childhood recollec-
tions. It's therefore fine that some
cities are reviving it and finding IL
quite as enjoyable as 1t used to be.
Really it's too bad that SO many
OF our supposedly educated people
have neglected to learn how to spell.
In the course of year we see thou
sands of letters to the editor, many
written by college and high school
graduates; but it's pathetic how few
Of them show a working acquaint-
ance with the English language.
Up in st. Paul the other night,
where the Daily News gave prizes in
a largely attended and most interest
ing spelling bee, score or more of
bright men and women fell down on
such simple tests as "extirpate, {"
''lithograph." "plutocracy," peace
able" and the like-words which
every one who has had fair chance
in school should know.
II wasn't that they were too stupid
to spell-they simply had neglected
TO learn how.
Next time an evening seems dull
at home and the youngsters are won
dering what there is to do, line them
up. offer a prize and set them to a
test in spelling. It's as much sport
as cheap novels and cards; and when
they shall have gone through they
will have learned something useful

UNDER THE ACID TEST.
(By Livy S. Ricard.D

tBy Livy S. Ricard.)
On the church that attend Csome-
times) is a sign, in big letters:
EVERYBODY WELCOME.
Does the church mean it?
This particular church, so far as
know, has never been tested. The
folks who attend it are comfortable,
well-dressed, well-mannered people.
They are welcome; very. They are
so welcome that the pastor keeps
list of newcomers into the commun-
ity of that comfortable, well-to-do
class and is quick to call at their
homes and invite them to worship in
his tabernacle.
The first time he called on me he
assured men, impressively, that
should find the social features of the
church quite satisfactory-his par
ishioners were the kind OF people
and my wife and our children would
like to know.
Whether, If 900 ragged and hun
dry down-and-outers, on the verge of
despair from poverty and unemploy-
ment, full of the poison of misery,
should come. in bunch, suddenly
out of the stormy night. into this
polite sanctuary OF the elect, asking
food and shelter; not only asking as
the beggar solicits aims, but demand
ing them as a right. human right
based on the church's teaching of
brotherhood, they would be welcome
Is more than can say-for the ex-
pertinent has never been tried.
Yet can think of nobody more
in need OF the softening, redeeming
gospel of Jesus than these same dere-
licts from the bread line. the coun-
terparts of those in ancient Galilee
to whom He loved to minister.
Frankly don't envy the plight
of those New York ministers or eld-
ers who. confronted by this acid test
of the genuineness of their preaching
and teaching, showed the white sign
of fear-and of insincerity.
God pity them. And forgive them.
And some day open their eyes and
their hearts.
Don't overlook, though. that II a
few churches fell down under this
test, number came through. Every
cloud has silver lining.

Even Mrs. Potter Palmer has her
troubles: wealth and social position
gave her no immunity bath. There
was big leftover after the wrold' IS
fair in Chicago, twenty years ago, in
the women's department. Almost
everybody had forgotten all about it,
but of course somebody had to re-
member. An investigation was start
ed, and then Mrs. Palmer came out
with a statement to the eject that
she had the coin in a safety deposit
box. She had held it tight for twen-
ty years. Now it is proposed to found
school for girls with the money,
which amounts to $65,OOO. Seems
strange that so large a sum should
have been kept in the valuts of a
bank all these years and nothing be
said about it.

ROUGH-NECK SOLDERING FOR
THE COMMON GOOD.

when look across the Ric
Grande into Ell Paso, with its fine
buildings, its clean houses, its clean
well-clothed, gentle children and
women, and then look at Juarez, with
its adobe houses, its muddy streets,
its rotten schools and its poor, rag.
ged women and children, it makes me
mad. Our women and children have
as good a right to fine things as
the women and children of the
United States have; and it's the fault
of the Mexican men that they haven't t
got them
So Pancho Villa once replied to an
American who asked him why he was
on the warpath.
In other words, his insurgency
rests upon precisely the same basis
of motive as the potter progressive
movement in the United States, diff
fering only in circumstances.
The rebel chief expresses a feeling
which is the chief handspring of hui
man progress.
Most of the important activities of
the world today are directly due to
a desire to distribute more fairly the
rewards of industry and the openings
of opportunity.
The reason why the fate of Eng
land swings in the balance isn't be-
cause nature in England has sudden
ly gone bankrupt, but because mans
arbitrary adjustment of natures
blessings has dispossessed millions to
make few thousands supreme.
Villa is no more a revolutionist
than Lloyd-George-the latter would
fight as Villa fights if brute force
were his only possible way of clear
ing the decks for a new deal You,

WHEN FRANCE DEMANDED 4
SALUTE FROM UNCLE SAM.

The Tampico incident has revived
at Washington particulars of case
occurring in California which called
for the firing of national salute as
satisfaction for the offense created
1t appears that in 1854 NJ. Dillon,
consul of the French empire at San
Francisco, was served with sub
poena to appear, with certain official
records, in some local court. He de-
clined to present himself, and the
French minister at Washington took
the matter up with the American
government as a gross disrespect to
France
1t is related that the affair was
finally settled by an agreement that
France would accept as satisfaction
an official expression of regret, cou-
pied with the following provision;
when a French national ship or
squadron shall appear in the harbor
of San Francisco the United States
authorities there, military or naval,
will salute the national flag borne
by such ship or squadron with a ma
tional salute at an hour to be speci-
fled and agreed upon with the French
naval commanding officer present,
and the French ships or squadron
whose flag is thus saluted will return
the salute, gun for gun
Compared with the direct insult to
the flag committed by Mexican mil
itary officer at Tampico, in the un-
provoked, malicious arrest and public
parading of marines in the uniform
of the United States, engaged in
peaceful and lawful obedience to
naval orders, that little incident at
San Francisco in early days was triv-
ial.
At San Francisco the cause fol
complaint was purely technical. II
doubtless arose from somebody's ig
norance of the international law oil
custom that exempts Representatives
of a foreign government from thu
ordinary processes of a local court
Certainly no offense to France coulC
have been intended, and yet the gov
ernment at Washington was willini
to make the amends demanded, il
the form of salute of twenty-on
guns.
In the case of the seizure in Bra
lillian waters of a Confederate cruise
by United States war vessel, il
1864, President Lincoln likewise or
dered the flag of Brazil to be salut
ed, after demand from that countr.
for. such satisfaction.
So there are at least two historical
instances in which the United State
gave other countries the same sor
of redress that it has demanded o
Dictator Huerta. and with far create
reason than existed in the case o
France.

PURELY BUSINESS CAMPAIGN
FOR MADDEN.

There is an organized effort to de-
feat F. H. Madden as republican can
didate for the county court, on the
ground that he is against the present
county administration, says the Med
ford Sun.
Such campaign is apt to act as a
boomerang. For there is no issue
and can be no issue between Mr.
Madden and the present county court,
unless it is on the basis of efficiency.
If the present county court wishes
to be put in the position of opposing
a strict businesslike administration
of county affairs, then the gum-shoe
campaign against Mr. Madden has
some basis in fact, but on no other
ground can this anti-administration
talk be supported.
1t is a significant fact that one
hears no question of Mr.. Madden S
efficiency or ability to aid the county
court in securing 100 cents of value
for every dollar expended He is
generally acknowledged to be a man
of extensive business experience with
well-deserved reputation for de-
manding full value in any transaction
in which he may be concerned. He
will be no mans echo, he will be no
,clique's tool, he will be independent,
fearless and irrevocably pledged to
economy, efficiency and justice in
county affairs.
Why, then, should he be opposed
by any person or persons other than
those who oppose the principles he
represents?
OF course there will be an attempt
to arouse prejudice against Mr.. Mad
den because he has made a success
of his own affairs, but unless popu-
lar government is a failure this sort
of talk can hardly have weight with
the thinking people of Jackson coun-
ty.
We are earnestly in favor of Mr..
Madden's candidacy simply because
we are always in favor OF the most
competent men for local offices re-
gardless of party, personal or any
other considerations.
Mr.. Madden should receive the
vote of every republican in the COM
ing primary who believes in putting
those men in public office who are
best qualified for the work at hand.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Reform at Home.

Many a man SPENDS MS entire life
time extricating himself from webs
of his own weaving, but rarely does
he blame himself for his difficulties,
says the Marshfield Record. He gem
orally attributes his troubles to out
side sources and strives to overcome
and remove imaginary rather than
the real causes. 1t is just this that
marks the difference between the
wise man and the fool The wise
man sees clearly that he is himself at
fault and straightway proceeds to
correct the wrong instead of wasting
his time and his energy in attempt
ing to repair, like the fool, the inn
agined false conduct of others.
Look to yourself for the cause of
the difficulties which confront YOU
and you will almost invariably dis
cover them. Then begin your re-
forming at home.

HOW TO BE USEFUL AFTER
DEATH.

Now and then history tells of a
person willing to give his life for
others. Those who do this conspicu-
ously are called heroes and in song
or story so down to fame.
Did you ever happen to think that
it would be equally useful to give a
death for the benefit of the living
and with the advantage over martyr
dom that it would not abridge life?
A committee of the. board OF esti-
mate in New York city recently in
vestigated Bellevue Hospital, famed
as one OF the best hospitals in the
country. One OF the points of it's
inquiry was into the skill with which
/ the doctors at Bellevue guessed at
what was the matter with the pa
! tients.
J The committee was surprised to
! find that in this superior institu-
tion. with its staff of recognized ex-
perts, the percentage of correct
guesses was only Az.
! This isn't slam at the medical
profession. The doctors do their
best; and their best is gradually be-
coming better, thanks to the increas-
ing thoroughness of modern research
work.
The thing which has been the
greatest bar to better guessing on
the doctors part is the impossibility
of looking into a patient while the
patient is alive, and the unwilling
ness OF relatives to permit autopsies.
If for the benefit OF the living the
dead could be studied carefully, di-
agnosis could be improved and right
treatment fastened
