DELINQUENT VOTERS.

Oregon was the pioneer in the pop
ular plan for making laws by referen-
dunn, under the theory that mass ac-
ton would work out better than gov
eminent by representatives chosen by
voters.
For some years the Oregon ballots
were as large as bed blankets and
before elections voters were supplied
with official pamphlets containing
arguments for and against measures
to be voted upon. The citizens APP
pear to have grown somewhat weary
of the custom and to have lost in
terest in elections.
This month the school board of
Portland had a special election to
have $2.500,O00 bonds voted for new
buildings. OF 94.470 registered voters
but STAG voted on the bonds, only
1870 favoring the issue. At the same
time school directors were elected,
only 5,876 persons caring enough
about who managed the schools of the
big city to vote preference.

TRIGGER-HaIRED SENATOR'S.

The other afternoon Senator Phelan
of California made an address. to be
inserted in the Congressional Record
and franked to his constituents at
governmental expense. 1t was an at
tack upon the Japanese The Califor-
nit senator referred to the Japanese
as the Huns of the orient" and de-
manded that all agreements between
the two nations regarding immigra-
ton be scrapped and closed season
created against the Asiatic. He in
sisted that Japan had deep designs
upon this country, that it was sending
its people here as spies and the old
rigmarole the nation was accustomed
to hear previous to the war.
This country Isl on friendly relations
with Japan; our national executive is
in daily conference with Japanese
representatives at Paris and common
decency should require from a senator
that he, be careful of his words. But
International relationships do not
bother him; he is anxious to curry
favor with rabid element in his
state.

WHAT WAR DID FOR MEN.

With the government asking that
all men be taken back and given their
old business position, American en-
poyers are responding in a way to be
proud of. But one British concern
has found that it pays not only to
give men back their old jobs, but to
promote them accordingly as their
ability has been developed by their
terms of service. The plan is de-
scribed as follows by p. A. Best. di-
rector and general manager OF Self
ridge & Co., Ltd. the big London
department store:
| Here is an instance--a Young man
who left us three years ago to enlist.
He was only in the EOS, an assistant
buyer, rather timid and non-aggres-
siye, although capable in anything he
was given to do. This man advanced
from the ranks to the position of first
lieutenant. When he came back to
tell me that he was ready to join us
again, l saw great difference in him;
he had lost his timidity and gained
confidence. He was no longer un-
aggressive, but decisive and with in
itiative. The military drill had made
him physically more fit; and his dx-
perience as an officer had given him
experience in handling men and in
administration. This man we imme-
diately gave position as floor super
intendent at nearly three times the
salary he had when he left us, and he
has proved our belief in his new
ability,
Here is aQother instance man
now a captain. When he left us he
was an assistant in the ladies' hair
dressing department. Army work ev-
identity discovered abilities in him
which neither We nor he had plumbed
before. He was so changed that
hardly recognized him when he called
at my office. 1t took only two min
utes for US together to determine that
he should now come back to a position

a REAL RACE PROBLEM.

Undoubtedly large percentage of
the democrats who favor the league
of nations would be opposed to it,
were it the product of a republican
administration; and it is quite as true
that a large percentage of the repub-
licans who oppose it would be in favor
of it if it had been negotiated by a
republican president.
But there are large numbers of
democrats who favor 1t or oppose il,
without reference to political parties,
and there are large numbers of re-
| publicans equally independent in their
reasoning processes.
The Journal doesn't believe there
are merits in the league which out
weigh the fact that IL will interest our
Germans, our Italians, our Austrians,
our Poles, our people of other racial
affinities in world politics where their
sympathies are sure to be with the
mother country of each particular
race.
How terribly we are divided racially
may be judged by the fact that on
"Americanization Day" in Worcester,
Mass, last year, the program was
printed in thirty-two different Ian
guages for the school children. The
voters of that city speak more than
forty different languages.

ians, Poles or persons of other ma
tionalties might show their race feel
ing by electing one of their race to
congress or to the governorship. John
Lind was elected governor of Mime
sofa on the democratic ticket at an
election in which the Mckinley cleo
tors carried the state by more than
sixty thousand. Lind is a Swede, and
the chickens cackle in broken Swede
in Minnesota.
But the Swede vote in Minnesota
had no thought of Lind's election to
the governorship, or his former or
subsequent elections to congress. hav-
ing any influence on the affairs Of
sweden. They made him an Ameri-
can officeholder only. In the same
way the Germans of Illinois elected
j. p. Altgeld governor. as a democrat,
when the state was overwhelmingly
republican. Such examples might be
multiplied indefinitely
With our nation a member of a
world-governing league. we may soon
have to make our greatest campaigns
for votes in the capitals of Europe,
and then see what we can win among
the polyglot voters of America, who
constitute about one-t third of our en-
tire voting strength.
For example, two-thirds of the
voters of Massachusetts, are foreign
born or are the sons of foreign born
parents.
This is a condition which cannot
be tossed aside as of no consequence
to the welfare of the nation. What
ever obligations we may owe to the
people of the rest of the world, be-
You'd doubt our first obligation is to
ourselves.

Readers of Edward w. Emerson's
history of the Saturday club will find
in the Harvard Graduates Magazine
for June an article by George Batch
elor, "reminiscences of Sc" which
contains interesting anecdotes of some
of the famous members. He relates
that he saw both Emerson and
Holmes in their last semi public APP
pearance. Emerson read an essay;
he had passed into his second child
hood, but there was nothing unpleas-
ant in the loss of his faculties. His
daughter Ellen would sit by his side
and as he read a sheet would quietly
remove it--otherwise he might have
read it again. At one pause he pushed
off several sheets with the remark,
II won't read these"--he was proba-
bly, firing. ooh, yes" his daughter
demurred, that sthe best of it,"
And sometimes he would look up
with animation, a smile and remark
having all his old shrewdness.
Holmes read his essay on Jonathan
Edwards, and his slender form di-
lated with Indignation as he set forth
the biasphemies of the great preacher
and metaphysician.i'' He excited at
least one hearer. for at the close his
friend, DR., Bowditch, said in a voice
that trembled with indignation, II

trines were ever preached" This

MIRAGE CHAsERs.

It is some time since Esau deliy-
cred his birthright and received soup:
but ever since. men have been fools
enough and others have been mean
enough to capitalize human frailty.
The word is full of mirage chasers
-short-visioned, pitiable gudgeons-
attracted by sounding brass and tink-
ling cymbals or colored parchment
persuaded to part. with their green
backs for green goods; exchange their
double eagles for whim wham, and
wampum; hand over their dollars and
assets--Uncle Sans cash-for moon
shine and claptrap and wildcat trash.
A man will work for years. hoard
ing every penny, shrivelling his body
and soul in q hysterical attempt to
save by cheating himself of all that Ia
worth while in life, and then permit
himself to be dazzled and blinded by
alluring, extravagant professions of
deniZens of Buncombe county. They
tell him of the vast fortunes to be
made in a day. and the fortunes are
made. But the trusting dupe doesn't
make them.
And almost as pitiable is the will
o'-the- wisp, fitting from place to
place, eventually to take his place in
tne ranks OF nature; or the 1acK-of-
all-trades, the handy man with half
dozen side lines, who ultimately
finds himself with no lines. grabbing
after a lifeline.
1t is exceptional versatility that Is
featured by efficiency. Multitalent
may be desirable for parlor purposes
but outside the bright spots seldom
shine.
We've all read the story of the bun
die OF sticks. yet many of us refuse
to focus our forces and attain.
Every success is characterized by
Underwriting concentration and speci-

taken to Germany"
And now the skull of the fat old

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about loss of appetite, and If
you skip a meal or only eat two meals
day for few days you will soon
have relish for your meals when
meal time comes. Bear in mind that
at least five hours should always
elapse between meals so as to give the
food ample time to digest and the
stomach period of rest before sec
ond meal is taken. Then If Won eat
no more than you crave and take
reasonable amount of outdoor exer,
else every day you will not need to
worry about your appetite. When the
loss of appetite is caused by constipa-
ton as is often the case, that should
be corrected at once. A dose Of Cham
berlain's Tablets will do Il
