Yes very likely. And yet, anybody
who knew the crude old bootjack
that stood in the corner can't help
being sentimental about it. And
about the boots, too. The things they
call boots open down the front; that's
one reason why the bootiacl is eX-
tinct. These "storm boots" are more
comfortable, no dOubt-bnt they're
not boots.

AN "ANTI,AiN'T ASSOCIATIONS

The fact that Kansas Normal
school students have formed an IAN
ti.ain't association is an indication
that this improper abbreviatiOn OF
"are not" is still more widely used
by careless or semi-educatcd people
than might now be supposed among
the classes long since substituting
the proper abbreviation, "aren't."
The latter is to be preferred, not
c1ly because good usage demands It,
but because the plural form of the
verb is plainly noticeable and this
serves as a guide to the speaker.
Those who employ the older and dis
credited form continually soy Il
amt" "he amt" etc., in complete
ignorance of reckless disregard of
the fact that they are. connecting a
plural verb with singular subject.
But II aren't and "he aren't are
errors too manifest to be perpetrated
by anyone who watches his speech
at all.
The derivation of "don't'-"do
not"-is far more perceptible than
that of "ain't," yet one hears fairly
we'll educated people say che don't
Che do mott, forgetting that this con-
traction can be employed only with
plural subject-with the exception Of
the first person singular-and that
doesn't must be substituted in 9th
er instances of a singular subject.
A pack-horse is made of "don't' just
as a pack-elephant is made of "ain't,"
the latter being required to do duty
not only for ARE not" but for IAN
not and lis not" being connected
with a." che" and 'it,' as we'll as
with plural subjects. The commend
able "Anti.Ain't' association might
do we'll to become also a "prO.

Hard, Sometimes, TO-. Raise Children.
Children's taste is ofttimes more
accurate, in selecting the right kind
of food to fit the body, than that of
adults. Nature works more accurate
ly through the children.
"A Brooklyn lady says: Our little
boy had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste OF
any kind of cereal food. He was a
weak little chap and we were puzzled
to know what to feed him on.
Zone lucky day We tried Grape
Nuts. Well. you never saw a child
eat with such relish, and it did me
good to see him. From that day on
it seemed as though we could almost
see him grow. He would eat Grape
Nuts for breakfast and supper, and
think he would have liked the food
for dinner.
"The difference in his appearance
is something wonderful.
"My husband had never fancied &C.
real foods of any KIND, but he be-
came fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using it.
1--WE are now healthy family and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"A friend has two children who
were formerly afflicted with ricketts,.
l was satisfied that the disease was
caused by lack of proper nourish-
ment. The children showed it. So
urged her to use Grape-Nuts as an
experiment and the result was almost
magical.
"They continued the food and to-
day both children are as well and
strong as any children in this city,
and, of course, my friend is a firm
believer in Grape-Nuts, for she has
the evidence before her eyes every
day" Name given by Postum Co..

The UHifed States Not Prepared
to Defend Itself or Its Honor
(From The washington Post)

One or two great nations in this
world make il a rule not to go to
war unless they are prepared and
ready They will not permit their
quarrels with the other nations to
reach the point of a rupture unless
they know they can make their power
felt. They are not forced into war
by being attacked, because other ma
tions know they are dangerous GUS
toners TO tackle
II Is only suicidal rashness that will
cause nation to plunge into war
unDrepared, except as a last resort Of
self-defenso after being actually al
tackled.
Bismarck made Germany ready for
war in 1866. and within three weeks
after war with Austria opened Aus
tria was whipped.
Bismarck. Won Moltke and Emperor
William kept Germany prepared IN
seven weeks and two days after Ma
DoleOn III declared war upon Ger
many, he was a prisoner. Germany
was attacked, but, being prepared,
she was safe
Whether the United States shall
decide to 20 to war. or whether war
is thrust upon it. the result will be
defeat unless the nation is ready.
Is il ready now?
The universal testimony Of army and
navy officers who have given their
lives to a study of conditions. and
who are ready to offer up their lives
for the country, is that the United
States is pitifully, shamefully unpre-
pared.
These men are the first who will be
sacrificed il war should come. The
very men who are patriotically urging
their country to get ready, the very
men who know exactly what condi.
tions are. will be the first victims o
Unreadiness.

to the Congress? Does it not In
struct in the perils involved in the
course they advocate those members
who have fatuously believed in the
transfer OF diplomatic negotiations
from the Executive to Legislative De-
Dartment? Has it no lesson for them
in the necessity Of restraining their
anxiety. of curbing their impatience
to interfere in matters that by their
verv nature are better handled in the
study than i'm the forum? For eighteen
months the Executive has pursued its
course. and talk of war from respon-
sible officials has been so infrequent
that it may be said to have been un-
heard. For ten days the Legislative
Department has tried its prentice
hand at the preservation of peace,
and misconstructions. false attribu-
tions and the imperative necessity OF
hostilities between two nations that do
not want TO fight are commonplaces
among those who pretend to have
the sole recipe for our salvation.
Grave danger, indeed, there is, a
danger sprirGing from the reckless
ness, the ignorance. the impulsivc-
ness Of members of Congress. Let
them. not as followers and adherents
of Woodrow Wilson. but as patriotic
Americans, repair, so far as they have
power. the damage they have done,
and hereafter withhold their hands
from the diplomatic negotiations OF
the nation.

graft in the army and navy and i'm
prove it's navy His warnings went
for nought, and he lost his life at Port
Arthur when his ship was blown up.
If he had not been drowned, he would
have been court-martialed.
AS a practical matter, what colossal
folly it is for the United States to
be drawn into war for any cause

what good is war as a means of main

When the United States goes to war
let it be for a cause that is eternally

the power exercised be so overwhelm-

stand against it. Let the United States
stick to two rules:

rashness. stand the record of this
country in its negotiations with bel

the denial Of William Joel Stone. who
was summoned as a witness by Sem

OF the President himself. Senator
Gore was not present at the confer

which he gave such unwise publicity;
he carefully avoided assuming the
burden OF personal knowledge Of its
authenticity. and he attempted tC
shield himself by declaring that nc
would accept as conclusive the de-
nial OF Senator Stone that such senti-

The country will give credit to the
disavowal. II will refuse to believe
that the President committed so ter
rible an indiscretion. Moreover. the
account given OF the conversation. an
innocent passage OF which i'm a day OF
