The progressive republtcans, so ‘alled, and the Roosevelt faction are very free In their declarations that President Taft is a failure. As the country looks at him and his opponents, it readily sees that he has been a failure, for he has not fulfilled the prophecy that he was a “me, too” to his distinguished prede- cessor. He will not submit to diects tion from Colonel Roosevelt or any one else, or any one faction, and this is what is givihg him strength with his party and the people right along., As to the policy of his predecessor along popular lines he has never fal tered. He doesn't know how to play to the gallery gods or to the politi- clans—he simply knows how to do his duty like an honest man and has tk courage of his convictions and an in- dividuality which Jeaves no doubt he ig president of the United States. Only in the non- ntials does Mr, Taft show weakness, In every poli which bodes good to the country he is sironger today than ever, LOOKING FOR PERMANENT JOBS It i8 surprising how popular places in the public service are becoming, and how many people are desirous of rassing civil service examinations ¢ finding a profitable place In nd Uncle Sam's great establishment.

We all have heard more or less about the defeat of justice because of teo much .consideration for the techni- calities of the law, Down in North Carolina, a native wounded his neighbor in the breast, and the neighbor, in due time, gave up the ghost. The murderer was indiet- ed, sent to jail and brought to trial. But he was soon free again because his attorney showed the court that the word breast was spelt “brest” in the indictment and that inasmuch as there i3 no such thing as a “brest” in even the most remote parts of the human anatomy, his client ought immediately to be discharged. This impressed the court as a sound and reasonable argument and the judge ordered that the prisoner be set free. This action of the eourt reminds an esteemed contemporary of the opin- fon of the small boy who wrote that vins had saved thousands of lives by people not swallowing them, 3 A Maine editor is wondering how it feels to have enough to for- ation would be the | s and is growing in favor| PLAIN TALK. In an address at the Leland Stan- ford university on Saturday last, Al- fred Moseley, head of the British ed- ucational commission, took oc¢casion to say in criticism of America’s edu- catlonal system: Pompous boards of education which under-pay school teachers are strik- ing at the life of the nation. “America owes her position among the nations to her system of free edu- cation,” Mr. Moseley declared. “Am- erican teachers, however, are grossly underpaid, and unless salaries are raised your system will fall short, If America falls, the world will go back to autocracy and the sword.” Americans, Mr. Moseley says, can teach progressiveness to the English, and can well learn from them honesty in business and a desire for equity among lawyers. “You never hear of graft and cor- ruption among Emglish noblemen. Thelr family names cannot counte- nance graft,” he sald. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man who keeps his temper in cold storage will have it for use at a more fitting season, Happy thought for today: The mot- to for the miser is “Never give up!” but old Death makes him let go. Andrew Carnegie says he never spec- ulated in stocks. Profits came his way in such abundance he didn’t have to. Money talks; but in these days it has to be admitted a five-dollar bill doesn't make much of an impression. Those who anticipate events are hoping the groundhog will not indulge in any disappointing antics this year. If the backbone of winter is still firm, the backbones of the coalmen and the letter carrfers are a little wobbly. They had a real old democratic vie- tory in Arizona, all right. There are 29 of the registration lists and ballot boxes missing. The winter of 1912 passed the quar- ter pole at a disappointing ciip, but it promises to go satisfactorily down the home stretch. If the presidency is fer once seek- ing the man, a good many men are doing all they can to get in the way of the nomination. Boston is now asking for $3,000,000 to make its harbor what it should be. Jutter is crawling up In price as if it had legs of its own, The women of Sweden seem to real- ize there is no real good reason for women being denied privileges which would make for better homes and few- er brothels. The people who eat a raw onion every day to keep them healthy, do not see any reason for accepting Dr. Wiley's recommendation that they eat an apple every day. The biggest city in Illinois and the biggest city in Ohio both have wo- men superintendents to their schools in preference to men, but they couldn’t be trusted with the ballot. In England it is ziven out that the omission of “obey” from the marriage ceremony invalidates the contract. Civilized man finds it difficult to brealk away from the remains of savagery. So far as the president and the ad- ministration are concerned, it looks as | though Postmaster General Hitchcock in favoring the purchase of the tele- graphs by the country, had slipped his trolley. 5 Fible Quesiion Box Bible questions will be an- in these columns or by mail to our Bible Question Box Your swered if weat Editor. Q—When will the world come to an end? (T. W, L) > Answer.—According to the Scriptures the term “world” signifies age or dis- pensation, Three great ‘“worlds” are outlined in the divine plan of the ages, as revealed in the Bible. (See 2 Peter ii 3), The first “world” or dis- pensation passed away at the time of the Flood. The second ‘“world,” or “present evil world,” is likewise to i pass away, in a fiery time of trouble | —not a literal “fire,”” but a destructive | season of lawlessness that will de- | stroy the “elements”—labor, capitalis- | tic, ete., ete., that go to make up the | present social order. “The world to wherein dwelleth righteousness” will never come to end, but is to con- | - wwougnout eternity. “The world | that now is” (Titus ii:12) is already being violently shaken, and is begin- ning to erumble away financially, po- | litically, socially and ecclesiastically. The evidences about us, in the fulfil- | ment of the Scripture prophecies, are clear and strong that within the next decade, the new and better order (“the { world to come”) will be established in the earth. | | | CARE FOR UNDERFED. | No Systematic Eflor;-.floing Made in | Public 8chools at New Haven.

It makes Uncle Jed feel sad to have to withhold books from little writers because they do not comply with the rules printed at the top of this page. Write on one side of the paper. Sign your name with full address or a book cannot be properly mafled to you. Do not write in blue or red inks, but in black. These colored inks are neither plain nor pretty to the printers who put the letters in type. Some of the disappointed ones have themselves to blame for not receiving books because they do not comply with the rules, or do as well as they know how. Make it a rule to write until you win a book, The work must teach you to try, try again or you fail. First letters seldom have Dbooks awarded them. Books sent are worth working for.

LETTERS OF’_A—EKNOWLE‘DGMENT A i Robert Kirchner of South Windham: I received a nice prize book and thank you very much, It was quite a sur- The White Spirit Violet was a child of the mountains. Her mother had been brought an in- valid from a luxurious home in the east with a hope that the mountain air would restore her fading life. Baby Violet was too small to under- stand it all. When she was left mo- therless it was her sunny nature that gave the grief-stricken father his only comfort. He had not the heart to go back to his home. There they lived with one servant at the foot of a canyon in the Rock mountains. That was the only home Violet had ever known. In -summer she lived almost entirely out of doors. When she was two years old she began to make little runaway trips among the trees and along the small brooks that babbled down the canyon. On one of these little adventures she toddled so far that she grew weary and lay down in a grassy spot to rest. Here an old Indian found her asleep. He was an Apache and a warrior and none too friendly with the pale faces. Why should he not jump at a chance like this to do them an injury? He could carry off the little one. Who would be any the wiser? He sat down to think of it and to watch. One baby hand clasped some flowers it had gathered; the other lay with fingers partly spread over the eyes, as if she might be playing peep with the birds among the tree tops. Such a picture Wa-bo had never =een be- fore. One thing is certain—when Vielet opened her eyes and showed ne more surprise than if she had seen her fa- ther sitting there, the war-scarred Apache was amazed. He held his hands toward her own chubby hands with a laugh and showing him the flowers. ‘Wa-bo took her up in his arms and started up the canyon. Perhaps he knew her father was ten miles away in the settlement and would not be home until night. Anyway Violet seemed pleased and chattered away in her own fashion to her dusky, new- found friend. Violet kept laughing and cooing and at last began to say “Papa.” Then ‘Wa-bo's heart was touched. Hae turn- ed squarely about and started down the canyon. “Yes, little Blue Hyes,” he sald, “we find papa.” They did find him, almost frantic, searching up and down the little mountain stream, With gratitude on his lips and still more in his heart, he took his baby from the old warrior. Wa-bo did not stop to explain, but stalked away up the canyon. All he sald was Blus Eyes,” Wa-bo kept his word.. He came “Me come again.

The first I can remem- ber is I was in a store, shut up in a box with a lot of other pins. Next I was taken down and sold to a little girl and she took me home. There I was handed to a woman. She took me and pinned her waist with me. Pretty soon it began to get dark. Then I was taken out and put with a lot of other pins. The next day I was put in a little girl's coat. The next T knew I was in a group of little girls. They were all talfing as fast as they could.

On the way they were talking end playing and not thinking anything would happen. The pond was a large one about two hundred yards wide. This was the boys’' favorite place to swim. Jack and Harry went into the water and began swimming around. Harry, the larger boy, could swim good, but Jack could only swim a little. Jack swam out too far and began sinking. Then he cried: “Help!” Harry was quite a distance from him, but when he heard the cry went to the spot with all his force. He got to the spot where Jack sank when he wae going down the second time. Harry thinking it was the third time dove for him. He took hold of his arm and pulled him to the surfage, where a boat was walting. A doctor was near and was told to attend to Jack. After a while Jack came to and was carried home. The next day Harry received a medal of honor and a purse containing one hundred dollars from the town for the deed he accomplished.

He was in a very pretty cage which hung in the center of the room. Sometimes she would hang him out doors for a little while to get the cool, fresh air, which he liked very much. She put in his cage a dish of water each day for him to bathe in. He had a littie swing in the center of the cage to swing on. There was a dish for his food and drink on each side. Its color was vellow and she called it Dickey Bird. He was a very knowing bird. He lived to be about two years old and then poor Dickey Bird died.
