The Crouch.

(Rockford Register-Gazette.) v
 The Great Creator in His wisdom created many men of many mindy- and temperaments, knowing that if the sons of men were alpte in wishes and desires it wouls lead to uncnd- ing strife.
 He created well. for man is fshe noblest-r ork Of God But in some way there crept into the world creature God did not create-a thing selfmade, be if male or female. that is hated. despised, and abhorrcd: Fl thing self-created, self-pitied, and ab- normally self-loved.
 This sef-croated creature is the chronic grouch that walks here and there in every town and community searching for happiness-that he may. destroy it. Flowers and children, be- cause they represent beauty and love, he detests. He reads as he runs that all men are liars and all women but creatures of evil.
 In summer he revilcs the bright sunshine and hates the green hills. In winter he reviles the cleansing snow and the purifying frost.
 Children flee from him and his wife can be classed among the martyrs. Men shun him and the world hates him. From an carly age he walks this earth spreading unhap- piness and unbelief-a maker of evil and discord. ~.
 Let us throw the H-ray of self examination into our own hearts and search out the little microbo that has a tendency to multiply and pro duce, in time, the hated crouch. There is too much love and sunshine in this old world of ours to spoil it with the canker of seldshness.

Individual Cups For Horses.
(Farm and Preside. )


 Common drinking cups for indiVid- uals of the human race have been under ban for a number of years. In the meantime horses have been drinking from the community trough at the road crossing.
 Missouri through it's state board of agriculture. is now taking the stand that horses should have individual buckets They maintain that open Wa ter fountains and nsanitary and greatly facilitate the spread of glan- dcrs and other contagious diseases among live stock.
 Glanders is an awful disease, and if the common trough is used, then indl- vidual buckets should be insisted up on.
 Says the Missouri state board: The wrong kind of apparatus caused ap- DroXimately 800 cases of glanders In the limits of Kansas City each year for eight years. The right kind has resulted in reducing the number Of cases to ten or twelve each year.
 If this be true, the common drink ing trough must be great danger to horses when disease of any sort is prevalent. The cautious owner will carry his own bucket.
 This warning, along with the cpl denies which are plaguing us now, will demand of us increased vigilance in sanitation about the farm.

Do Wives Tell Truth to, HuSbandS?

fhIn the March WOman's Home Com paniOn appears an article entitled: : "The Lies We. Tell to Men, It is the personal confession of woman who truth to men and that it is the men S fault. After relating some of her experiences in girlhood and young womanhood, the author of this article goes on to tell, as follows, how. after she became engaged and married each year had added to her under standing:
 For one thing, I found I must maintain fervently that he was the only man l could ever possibly have loved, under any . possible circum- stances. Isn't that one of the drOllest fallacies of the other sex about us Through the ages it has stood uncon- tradicted. Men, they declare with something of the pride with which a youth of twenty will announce that he has a past, arc at heart Mormons. A woman can love but once, We are afraid to tell them-they would not consider it nice!-how many men we have known whom we could have 1Cved, how many. even. whom We did love. There is not the slightest reason for men to consider themselves unique in the versatility of their affections. [ think that there have been no fewer than a dozen men among my friends that l could have cared about couId have married with whom I could have been happy"

Repeal the Red Flag Law.
Springfield Republican,

The ridiculous red flag law of this commonwealth should be repealed outright; that is the more evident after the hearing at the state house on the proposed amendment, drawn by Harvard professor exempting educational, religious and charita ble organizations from its provisions. Harvard's sacred "crimson'' is at stake. for the red flag nas been out laWed by tue courts even when car ried by Harvard students as the time honoreds insignia of their university much to the surprise of the sapient authors of the law
 But why amend the law so as to exempt Harvard from it's provisions !? The agitatOr who says that this would be "class legislation should be heed ed. An amendment which is based on the principle of a privileged class should be abandoned at once. Let Us have no halfway measures. We, the people of Massachusetts, should have the red flag law as it stands without qualification, in all of it's tomfoolery, or we should have no such idiotic law at all.
 The courts were in excellent form when this law was construed to be all-embracing in it's devastating ap- plication. A red flag is a red flag on all occasions and under all cOndi- t1ons. Strikers may carry it in a street parade with as much propriety as students in college campus jubila- tions. The legislature may decide not to repeal the law, but if that course be pursued, the people should insist that it be made to strike the Harvard yard" as relentlessly as the mill district of Lawrence
 That the legislature will make an inglorious end of the statute, however, should not be a consummation be- yond its courage or its wisdom.

BOSTON LAWYER IS
 COUNSEL FOR HORN
Daniel T. O'ConncU to Defend German Who Attempted to Blow Up
 Internal iOnaI Bridge.

Machias Maine, Feb 9.-Werner Horn who maintains that his recent . attempt to blow up the Canadian end of the International railway bridge near Vanceboro, was an act Of war, last night retained Daniel T. O'Con- nell, of Boston, as counsel The at- tCrney will look after Horns interests in connection with the efforts of the Canadian government to obtain the ex- tradition to the Dominion of the man who claims that he was formerly an officer in the German army.
 Horn Is now serving a sentence of thirty days in the county jail here for damage to property on the American side of the border caused by the ex- plosion. After a conference with the prisoner last night. MT. O'Connell said that Horn had acquainted him fully with the facts leading up to the dynamiting and that he was con- vinced that the act was political.
 'It cannot be expected" said Mir. O'Conne1l. that the facts which Horn has faithfully and honorabIy refused to make public. in order not to involve others in possible prosecution for their parts in the project, should be given out at this time My client states emphatically that he is former officer of the German army; furthermore that his course is ob- served by the usages and customs of war
 Horns every jesture and his words denote the highest military officer. He is not a crank. It is evident to all that have talked to him that he is a man of education and good station in life"
 MT. O'Connell said that Horn had given orders to the hotel on Staten Island where he had been staying be- fore coming to Maine to have his trunks held subject to the instructions of his counsel. Papers in the trunk, be added, proved conclusively that Horn was a German officer.

Dcfyin@ the Earthquake.
fTroN TimcS.)

The recent calamity in Italy has ter of house construction in earth quake regions. Every time there is a great seismic calamity much is said on this subSect Yet little change seems to have been brought about by all the talk. Some scientists just now are exhibiting impatience with the conservatism that finds exprossio on in building, generation after genera ton, the sort of structures sure to prove dangerous when the earth trcmblcs Certain sections of the Mediterranean district from the earliest days have been visited by earthuuakes, often with such terrific power that towns have been destroyed and a large proportion of the popu- Iation has been wiped out. But re- building has gone on after the same fashion as before, and doubtless when the work of reconstruction in that portion of Italy lately devasted is carried on there will be slight altera- tion in the style of buildings erected.
 The truth seems to be that there is in human nature quality which rather glorics in defying such forces as are typified by the earthquake. At all events, there are few cases on rec ord where country or a district has been abandoned by the inha bitants because of this danger, though there are many showing determination not to yield to misfortune. When San Francisco was visited by earthquake and fire Tn 1906, experiencing a loss of $2OO,00O,000 or more, there were

Is Moonlight Dangerous?
(Amcrican MCdiCine.)

The alleged harmfulness of moon light is at last receiving scientific at tentiOn. It seems, according to a writer in The Chemcal News of Eng land that the light of the moon, being reflected, is polarized that is, the vibrations are in one plane instead of all planes as in light coming di- rectly from it's source. It is also said that it has less germiCidal power than direct light, and that decay is therefore quicker
 All this may be true, and it may explain some of the folk lore as to moonlight. We have long be- lieved these tales to be the myths of primitive peoples that we are not in clined to take any suggestions in this line seriously. They are really mis- ta ken attempts at the scientific eX planation of phenomena, noticed for the first time. Sometimes, if not generally, mere coincidenCes are coupled together as cause and effect, and often real Correlations are dis covered as in the case of many of our standard drugs.
 The matter of moonshine then may not be so foolish as We now believe, and though we cannot imagine any thing practical to come from a study of it, yet it should not be neglected. The folktalcs, by the way, seem to have originated in lands of very clear atmosphere, and it is extremely doubtful whether in these northern misty climates moonlight has any ocular or nervous effect one way or the other. Still we are often sur prised at the facts clicited from still more bizarre investigations. Surely polarized light must have injurious retinal effects, and it might be well to find out that much.

Winning Our Immortality.
(kansas City Star.)

Sing me song of a lad that is gone, writes Stevenson, referring to his own youth. Such a complete change had come over him that he could hardly recognize the boy and his mature self as the same person. Most of Us have that experience. Som etimes we seem entirely differ ent persons from what We were ten years before. One self disappears. A new one takes it's place.
 The highGr and nobler our pur- poses are. and the better they fit into what seems to our limited in telligence the general scheme of the uniNerse-the will of God-evidentlN the more enduring they must be. Might it not be that We win our i'm mortality in that way, by building Up a personality that is worthy to survive, and by leaving our unworthy selves behind?

A measure to transfer more work

A measure to transfer more work to Highway Commissioner Bennett's department may not be intentionally unfrlendlN to him. but t is doubtful that it would be kindness. The con- frol of motor vehicles and their driv- CTS is whole job in itself. and though 1t may seem desirable to separate it from the work of the secretary of state. where it never justly belonged, 1t does not appear that it could be donc any better or more economically by the highway department.

Better roads and trails for Alas ka will be enc of the principal ob- jects for which Senator-elect o. P Gaustad, Of Fairbanks, will work during the coming session of the territorial legislature. His "mush" cut from the interior metropolis added considerably to his fund of knowledge about the needs of the Chitina-FGirbanks road in particular his previous experience on interior trails having impressed upon him the need of more work, which can only be done wth larger expenit- lures of labor and money than In the past. Another important bit Of legislative work in which he Is in- terested particularly is the repeal Of the present territorial mining law known as the Roden law This, he says, is so complicated that no two attorneys in the territory agree upon the same interpretation of 'ts provisions -Cordova Times.
