Eaa————— Milwaukee takes third place in the suicide race of the country, even if it was the first city to win the social democratic banner. Jack London, who berates a judge for fining him and says he will get even with the saloon man who threw him out, talkslike a person under the “influence” of a call from the wild. —_— What is the use of taking an estimate of the population based on a school census so long as “Uncle Sam” is plodding along with the real figures, which will be delivered shortly. The Republican Campaign Text Book was edited and compiled by Francis Curtis, under the direction of the Congressional Committee who have the fullest confidence in the ability of Mr. Curtis to correct- ly interpret the sentiment of the party. GRAMMAR AND APPLES. Apple Time is one of the year’s real periods. We have just seen, says Colliers Weekly, in a rural sheet this item: “We bavea bunch of apple blossoms and some apples large enough to convert into a pie sent us py —— —— of Tunbridge West Hill that were taken from a tree on his farm at the same time.” Fearfully and wonderfully made is this sentence. The sentiment is true, but as a rhetorical model in rhetoric it is scarcely choice, On the matter of substance John Burroughs says: “The boy is indeed the true apple-eater, and is not to be questioned how he came by the fruit with which his pockets are filled...... Whether he be tull of meat or empty of meat, he wants the apple just the same, Before meal or after meal, it never comes amiss, The farm-boy munches apples all day long. He has nests of them in the hay-mow, mel lowing, to which he makes fre- quent visits. “The apple is indeed the fruit of youth. As we grow old we crave apples less. It is an ominous sign. When you are ashamed to be seen eating them on the street; when you can carry them in your pocket and your hand not constantly find its way to them; when your neighbor has apples and you have none, and you make no nocturnal visits to his orchard; when your lunch- basket is without them and you can pass a winter’s night by the fireside with no thought of the fruit at your elbow, then be assur- ed you are no longer a boy.” Getting back, by the way, from fancy, ethics, and substance generally; to English grammar, here is an excerpt from “Echo’s Echoes” of Echo, Oregon: ““We notice many have cut their weeds, which makes a great im- provement in the yards and street, especially along Main and Bridge Streets. In some places it needs the mower taken to them.” Any one whohas courage to “parse” that final sentence de- serves a year’s sudscription to “Hichoes” as a reward. THE TRAFFIC IN GIRLS. P. V. Collins, editor of the North- western agriculturist, writes the fol- lowing as the feature editorial of the current issue of his paper. The sub- ject is one of such vital interest and the evil so far reaching, that so timely and plain a statement of fact may result in much good: “Wereceived a smalladvertisement - for this issue headed, Fighting the Traffic, and for many days the ac- ceptance of that advertisement was held under consideration, while we investigated the sincerity of its pur- pose. It was finally accepted and it appears in the advertising columns of this number. The full heading is: Fighting the Traffic in Girls. It seeks agents to sell a book exposing the horrors of white slavery in the large cities of America. We do not only run the advert!sement but we endorse the fight, as being one of such serious importance and. conse- quences as to give it rank with the war against black . slavery of 1861- ’65.

She wishes she could get a position in the city, so she too could go to the city theatre and dances and the parks, and have a taste of such dehghts that never come 1n the country, “Nothing is easier, says her be- guiler; he can get her a fine position as soon as he returns, and so the first link in her chain is wrought. “It is kind of her ‘friend’ to get the position for her. She goes to the city alone. Perhaps her ‘friend’ meets her at the station and takes her to ‘a nice boarding house.’ She never dreams of the nature of the ‘palace’ as it seems to her guileless eyes.
