Tuesday evening about seven
O'Clock the stone residence Of Juan
Encinias. in the south part of town,
was discovered to be on fire. A
large crowd quickly assembled but
on account of there being no water
available there was no way TO save
either the house or contents. II Is
supposed that the fire was started
by an overheated stove, but as there
was no one at home 1t is hard to tell
just how II did start. There was nc
insurance on the property and the
loss was complete as nothing Of any
consequence was saved. Logar
Leader,

manure to replenish the exhausted
soil. They'd have to feed the pigs,
curry the horses, chop the wood and
do all the things that servants have
heretofore done for them.
And, instead of the hereditary right
to rule, I'd give all of their children
the simple hereditary right to work
and hustle for their own grub.
You see we won't need any of 'em
in our United States of the World,
and don't know of any better way
to get rid of 'em and still make them
healthy, hopeful, harmless and happy
than by giving them country eX-
clusively for royalty, and then let
nature take its course.
That would be better than cutting
their heads off, or kicking them off
the various thrones and telling them
to go to- hell. We mustn't be too
rough with royalty, you know.
And after a few generations of
healthy work on an island like that
might enable them to breed a race
of honest working people. Then the
world might find a use for them.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
HYPHENATED AMERICANS

Editor Day Book:-The president
in refusing to personally receive the
protests of the German-AmeTicans Of
Chicago depIored the existence Of
what he terms hyphenated American
ism and declared we are Germans,
Irish, etc., or Americans.
All loyal patriotic Americans are
with the president in his present at
titude on that question.
Perhaps the president now realizes
his error Of Thanksgiving day last
year when he officially recognized
hyphenated Americanism by attend
ing the Pan-American mass, by that
act violating his own proclamation
for US to assemble in our accustomed
places of Worship.-G. L. S.

we would do with the worlds kings
when we all get together and organ
ize the United States of the World.
AS 1 am opposed to capital pun
ishment under any circumstances,
and wouldn't even legally execute
kings for having started a murder
GUS war, l can't advocate hanging,
electrocuting or guillotining them.
But if we let them live they'll have
to stick around somewhere, and 1
have been trying to find a reasonably
soft spot where they can light after
we've canned the whole bunch.
It occurs to me that we might buy
big island somewhere and put all
the kings, czars, emperors, grand
dukes, princes, dukes, counts, lords,
earls and all the rest of royalty male
and female on this island-barring all
common people entirely.
I'd pick out a rich, fertile island
with lots of good soil, climate and
scenery, and stock it with enough
cattle, pigs, horses, chickens, ducks,
geese, agricultural implements, ETC.,
to let the whole bunch go to work for
a living. There would be no maids,
no Wallets, no buffers, no groOms, no
chauffeurs, no servants of any kind.
The kings would have to put on their
own clothes in the morning and take
'em off at night.
The female royalties would have
the same proud privilege. They could
take off their own duds and keep 'em
off for all I'd care.
The women would have to do their
own housework, pick eggs, milk the
COWS, make the butter, mop up the
kitchen floors, nurse their own royal
babies, change the babes themselves
when necessary, and do the work
that women can best do.

other rOVaI things would have to do

A thousand miles OF isle-strewn sea
Stretching fairly across the great gateway
To the Orient and beyond;
A depth Of blue in sea and sky,
Whose beauty neither poets pen nor
Painters brush will ever fully tell
a world Of safely sheltered waterways,
Where palrn-fringed beach and coral reef
Frame the mirrored beauties Of tropic sky.
Mountain ranges tween whose pine-crowned heads,
And junEle-hidden feet
Grows the foliage Of every zone
Fertile Luzon. emerald Of the trOpic isles,
And MindanaO. how wild and fair!
Symmetrical Mayor, yea Pagsanjan,
Wrapped in the beauty Of summers robes!
The grim, gray walls Of Manila still
Bearing scars Of conflict with invaders,
The crumblins battlements three centuries old
Standing majestic the mighty Pasig!
Could they speak what weird tales would tell
Of victory, defeat, OF joy and Of sorrow!
Where the quaint old chivalric life Of Spain
Meets the crisp, breezy tone Of America
Where the Of the Right caused wars TO cease
And all stand side by side and work out
The problem Of the races in peace.

Power Of Harmony


tly, move quietly to give way
when interrupted in conversation,
to be silent when others wish to
talk, these things lead toward
forming character
Before we can be OF any use in
the world or have any influence
over others, or have any peace OF
mind or heart ourselves we must
learn self control BY our own
atmosphere, by the quality OF our
IDEAS or opinions. by the char
acter we show. by our motives.

The quiet. self contained,
peaceable head OF household is
The person to whom others turn.
the person who greets Interrupt
tons with a smile. who does not
show irritabnity when plans are
disturbed, who tries to UNDER
stand the dispositions of others,
does not nag or fret them, but
strives to make them happy. is
the person who has influence.
The power of a quiet mind IS
felt very definitely in home life.
II the father goes out to his daily

BY learning the art Of quietness
a mother can keep her own poise
and keep the family in balance
and harmony and move steadily
on With her many duties smooth

calm, quiet. well-poised mind a
mother can make endless diff
