Indications substantiated by the re- port from Commander Long of the Des Moines that “the present disturbance in Vemezueia has not been important and practically is finished,” bear out the belief that that conntry has taken a common sense view of the uprising which Cipriano Castro precipitated upon them and he has been thrown down. This must indicate most plain- Iy to Castro that despite his own ego- tistical opinions about Venezueia be- ing unable to get along without him, that his efforts have been in vain and that he iz not wanted. Castro has been the means of vindicating the present government in that country and the result should be the strength- ening of the present administration under Gomez. It would be a biessing to all the Latin-American countries if they could and positively dispose of their ambitious politicians who are only too glad to throw their country into a state of revolt for selfish purposes. In nstance Venezmela has adminis- tered the proper lesson and it would be an excellent thing if it is an indi- cation of what can be expected im the future, mot only there but in other ~epubfics. The exercise of just such good com- mon sense is what all Latin-America needs, and when it comes to a ttme When a change in the government is needed it should be accomplished in the proper manmer, by the ballot and not by force of arms. Venezuela's re- buke of Castro showld have its good effect. HIGH SPEED. At a time when there is such a craze for speed, it is doubtful if the ex- pressed opinion of George Westing- house, who is entitled to the term ex- pert. will receive its proper consider- ation even from the traveling publie, when he declares that high speed trains are decidedly unsafe and that 45 miles an hour should be the limit for the persons who desire to travel in reasonable safety. According to this well known authority, to demand ex- ive speed and then to demand the mination of accidenfs and the in- surance of safety is to court danger and require an impossibility, because public does not realize what it is :<k.ng and it is a generally accepted fact that it is because there is a de- mand for the fast trains, and a profit- able patronage of them, that they are maintained. It is a reasonable statement by Westinghouse that when running at h rates as are often necessary to maintain schedules on the limited ex- presses. no kind of an emergeney brake or automatic signal will avail to give suitable protection against accidents. It simply means that those who will dance must pay the fiddler. The folly of zreat mpeed needs to be recognized in ths dewand for safety transporta- tion. For the purpose of insuring Teater saféty Mr. Westinghouse sug- the fixing of maximum speed by “3w, and supwests that it be made the subject of inquiry by the Interstate Commerce Commission. It is a matter which needs Il the help it can receive. Mr. President Wilson makes his appoint- ment of governor general of the Phil- ippines as if it were a position of minor importance. The new appointee does mot begin to rank with any of his predecessors Justi'e and law will bring peace in Mexico as de la Barra says, but they will have to be put into operation fivst under a government which has the confidence of ail ita people. Much relief will be granted to a long' list of anxious office seekers when the tariff is passed and the president can make some of the appointments which are being withheld. The outcome of the Diggs case in California is only a boomerang te the cabinet officials who were lending their influence to delaying justice only a short time ago, The mayor of Télsdo says: *1 witl not run agein under any circum. stanices.” Where have we heard thess, | has been properly met and the dem- | by campu‘olkr Dunn concerning the’ saving made to the state from the [ |l abolishment of gritulties and the pay- mient to the state treasury of m <ceived by his deserving of proper credit. means that in these instances the proper on has been: given: to |: a good business administration.

It ig to be hoped that the practice of paying gratuities to°newspaper rmen and to attendants has been forever dbolished.

From the revelations which were mude in the trial of M. I Diggs in Cal- ifornia there could be no surprise at the verdict reridered by the jury, amdl there is.reason to believe that the companion case will have a similar result. It is not surprising that Cal- ifornia_was much incensed’ at the ef- fort which had been carefully worked out to postpone the trial and the ad- ministration of justice, and the out- come substantiates the position which Federal Attorney McNab took in be- half of immediate trial. Not only to California but to the entires country is the outcome one of much importance. It sets forth the foree of the. Mann white slave act in a manner which, if not reversed by a higher court; means that it is a much stronger instrument for the fighting of {mmorality than had been at first/con- sidered. The general interpretation placed upon the act was that it con- cerned only cases which would fall under the generally accepted term of white_ slavery, but the action before the federal court shows that it is bread enough to cover such cases as the Diggs-Caminetti escapade, a fact which should operate to the better- ment of conditions by tite enforcement of the law. Tt gives the opportunity for demofftration as to which has the the greater and better effect in its application, the federal or the state Taws. STYLE AND ACCIDENTS. Just what will be the outcome of the investigation which thé Pennsyl- vania railroad is making in the en- deavor to fix the respot ty of high heels and narrow skirts in the many accidents which befall women on its lines, while entraining or detraining, is awaited. Tn three days this month there have been nine mishaps in which this matter of wearing apparel is given as the cause. The railroad's desire is for the purpose of seif pro- tection as well as for determining what part it should play fn overcoming the difficulty. Tt becomes apparent that if certain accidents can be expected to happen with much frequency some action must be taken for the purpose of overcom- ing them through prevemtion. If the investigation which is being condueted results in establishing the certainty of the belief that adherence to style is the cause of the trouble, it is ques- tionable just how much it will relieye the railroad, though common sense in- dicates that a railroad system can hardly be expected to remodel its enm- tire equipment every time the style changes. Th railroad is simply taking a step of protection for, itself and at the same fime calling ' attention to others most concerned that it might be well for them to profit from fhe obser- vation. The railroad is at least caus- ing the matter to be given more thought and consideration. EDITORIAL NOTES. Money is accomplishing the same thing in Thaw's behalf in Canada' that it did in New York. The voung men of Illinofs get but a small chance when Uncle Joe Cannon makes up his mind to run for office. The man on the corner says: The ambition of some anto horns seems to be to make as much noise as a tug whistle. The man with the hay fever is easy to find just now, but it is a rare thing to encounter a cure for this strange trouble. No ome will deny that Bald Jack Rose can if he will tell a racy story of life in the underworld when he lets himself out. Glynn is signing requisition papers and Sulzer is getting the official mail, but it &1l hinges now on who gets the governor’s pay. If Jack Johnson expected to be hail- ed as a hero in England he is meet- ing the disappointment and opposition which he rightly deserves. Many are the states which can ap- preciate the fact that they have no millionaire Junaties in their care with their minds bent on escaping. If it isn't too late, the president might try his “tut, tut” on General Huerta. It is often mot so much what one days as the way he says it. Kausas is béginning to have a lit- tle rainy weather, but not enough so that it ought to interfere with the rest of the country getting some of ft. While Turkey and Bulgaria are de- ciding whether there will be another war between them Glynn and Sulzer are holding the center of the stage, General Huerta seems to be decelved by @ false impression of his own im- portance and power much the same as Turkey manifested during the Balkan war. Tt 13 a healthy condftion among the republicans of New Jersey when thres of the best men of the state are anx- lous to be the party’s candidate for governdr. When eighty per cent, of the fires in New York state are attributed to carelessness or Ignorance, it ts prob- ably a falr average to place on the entire country Of course it sheuld be made plaim to Béneral Huerta that if he gave up the presidemcy of Mexice, he would not be expected to follow in the feot- | steps of Madero.

Those who are full .f Jjealouses and prejudices are mentally unclean. ere hatred and suspicion” dwell there are ' few sane moments or rational conclus- ions. '"hose who think that righteous- ness can find a foothold in such company are mistakén. Anxiety, the poison of life, finds such conditions just right for'it; and fear, that disturber of the.! peace, finds them genial company. I sometimes think these soul-harrassing | qualities must have been what the. |ancients called demons and drove out ! by prayer and holy practices. Jealous- ies and suspicions handicap a person in all directions, and do nothing but ' disturb the mind and lessen the sun- shine of life. Liké bad ¢ompanions they give all who' entertain them a bad name. It should be borne in mind that jealousy is the child of jgnorances; a prejudice is what rules the vulnr crowd. Jealousy begets envy, and envy knows no criminal liké the one who excels him. An ancient writér advised his fellow- men to stand in awe of themselves. Of course, he was far ahead of his times, for the world has mnot learmed to comprehend tHis to this day. There lis no doubt every man makes more |trouble in lifé for himself than every- body else combined against him can. In fact, Tt i$ more than probable that ithere never would have been a com- bination against any one had it not been inspired by the one it was against. There is no wonder Robert Burns prayed for the gill ‘to see ourselves as others see us.”” If we all could do \that this would be a wonderfully im- proved world. It is what we see in the other fellow that excites us; and what he sees in us that makes him our oppenent if not our ememy, We say glibly of the sot, “he Is his ewn worst enemy,” when it might truly be said of most of us., Stand in awe of thyself. Tohere are a lot of people who do net know that thousand arguments. There ig no gett- ing away from the statement that folks argue most concerning the things they know the least about. There is no place where .there is miore false | pretence than in falk. Some folke never realize that tdeas can be express- ed in language, and that is the reason they only repeat words and jUst make sounds. People who do not know how fo talk, and folks who think they know how to sing, make up more than half the bores in Christendom. I shouldn’t | want to vocalize what 1 write on paper for most of it is bétter written thanm said, and “some of it might be omitted.” 1 once heard a critic say, “without a jar being felt anywhere.” We are so constituted that what is emtertaining to one appears te be all folderol to an- other. This little difference is what makes me wonder how one Heaven cean suit us all. Have you ever thought what might happened if some things had been done different in Norwich in the past? What is now Jail hill was once Fort hill, and when the first .sfitlen came it was Waweéquaw hill, the | name of the brother of Uncu f in- stead of locating the jall om this hill and giving it the prettiest site from which to look down on the Thames river and from which to view the sur- rounding coeuntry, how would it have affected Norwich had it been always Fort hill and a summer hotel had been erected there called the Waweequaw | house, where summer guests could be entertained from far and near? What | if Norwich had laid out there a public park and public gardens and beauti- fied the place with walks and trees, and artificial ponds, fountains and flower beds and given either the Indian name would, not Fort hill have been a beauti- ful place- And if Norwich had been called “The Terraced City,” because its headland made into'\terraced streets, made its river front, wouldn’t that have fitted too? There are lots of nice things which could have been done and which may be. It was Charles Dudley Warner who wrote the weeds grow as if the devil was in them, and no one has question- ed the statement since it was penned. | It there is anything in nature which shows greater vigor or a more ramp. ant spirit than the weed, I confess it has never yet been revealed to me. Celia Thaxter likened the weeds to a wild, vigorous, straggling army, full of Health and strength and a most marvellous power of growth—a force quickly to be assailéd If it is to be overcome. The weeds in the garden strike me as nature’'s loudest protest against laziness. If “there is any place where laziness gets hard hit it is in the garden, which proclaims the price of produce is work, the reward of idleness no good thing. “Stir me with a hoe and I will laugh with a harvest,” some one once heard the earth say, and the stirred earth seldom disappéints the industrious for if it doles léan with one hand, it is usually generous with the other. When you hear anyone complaining of their Iot in life it i8 usually an able- bodied man or a rugged woman. Some- how it falls to the lot of the feeble, the crippled and the shut-ing to be thankful that it is no worse. A Iittle experfence with the ills and misfor- tunes of life seems to insure the in- valids to trouble, and to add strength to hope and patience and every good quality. The able-bodied murmurers are usually those who spend the day in complaining of headache. and spend the night in drinking the stuff that glves it. Most of our ilis are traceable direct to our habits, or our ignorance. We violate the laws of nature and do not like to pay the price; but there is ‘no escaping the penalty for the follies of life. Those who have learned to face the ills of life with patien-e have acquired the power to reduce their share of suffering. Endeavor han its compensations In every direc- tlon, We._hear much about the beauty of the old-fashioned garden with fts holly- hocks and peonfes and Itlacs and mari- #olds and Sweet Willlams’, but in the ammals of Time how old-fashioned are these gardens of man compared with the gardens of God. What of the Jily- pond with its tens of thousands of blooms shining on the surface of the water at a time which made them old when the lotus was made the sacred flower of Egypt? What of the daisy in unnumbered aeres showing an ocean of blosm billowy in the gentle breezes of June, or the goldenrod or poppies wish graw in brilllant masses carpet- ing the surface of the earth, and which were old when Fashion was bern.

Fifteen years went: by, and Goldie had finished the grammar school [course, and must go into the high I'school, which was at a ter dis- | tance from Her home. ten she availed herself of the trolley. but quite & often she walked fo and from school in the fresh air of the day. On such occasions she found pilenty of enter- taining, in the little, unimportant events encountered in her.walk. Fre- quently some of the school friends were with her, but many a day found her alone in her walk. She was especially interested in the automobiles which passed her, -and found herself wishing that her father could be induced to purchase one, but he had no fondness for themi. On éne afternoon in early summer, she was briskly making her way home from school, when an autocar ap- roached hey at a great rate of speed. he thought to herself that she would not care to go so rapidly, and that the oceupamts were a rotgh-lecking set of men, whese faces she did not like, “What a horrld looking set,” theught Goldle, “They look as If they eould do anything bad, if they wanted to. I am glad they are not walking fer I believe Td be afrald to meet them now that I am alone,” As they passed her they threw out of the car, a small packet. which fell on the pavement just in frent of her, At first she was inclined to pass the package without mnotice, but curiesity tempted her te pick it up and examine it, To her surprise, it centained a gold box seemingly well filled with valuable jewelry, sueh as she had never seen except in the jewelers’ win- dows. Why sheuld tlie men have thrown them away? Then she remern- bered that they were followed by & ecar, bent on overtaking them.

With amazement at the sight. She knew, far better than her um the great value of the bex | contents, and did not wish to :«-hu They are very valuable, but your father Will know what to do with them, and 1 hope he will come soon.” Puiting them out of sight, she went on preparing this evening meal, after cmf{hmnu Goldie about the neighbor- Mr. Lancaster agreed with his wife that W8 did not wish to harbor the jewels over might, and decided to take them to the nearest police station. which he did as soon as possible. There he was told of a daring burg- lary, which had been reported to them, escaped although the detectives were in hot pursuit of them. Much praise | was lavished on Goldie, and Mr. Lan- caster wag told that she would prob- ably hear before long from the owners of the hox. The next morning's papers were filil- eéd with accounts of the bold robbery of a well-known residence in broad daylight, and of the escape of the burglars. Goldie's share in the tran action was not overlooked, and praise . was accerdéd to her in no nieasured terms, As was predicted, the owners of the treasure were desirous of rewarding her for Her services. that she wanted no reward, but they ingisted in their own decision, and Goldie received a sum of money which seemed a fortune to her. Her parents placed it in a bank to her credit, and felt that she was well provided for, schoolmates admired her courage, and more than one wished she had been the lucky finder of the tréasure trove. “Byt 1 never would have dared to piek it up.” exclaimed some. “What if it had been dynamite or a dangerous bomb, But you always were lucky, and geserve all you got by it. We are proud of your being in eur class.” Goldle modestly disclaimed all merit in_the matter. and never referred to it unless reminded of it. The owners of the jewels were not so forgetful.

Are the remnants thrown on the rubbish heap after the ! pattérns has been cut out, or saved for Breat uses? To indicate one source of leakage let me quote Edward Howard Griggs ! who says: “I have beén making some | observations of people who travel and enough time is wasted on railway | trains and at raflway stations to carry on all the educational activities of America if that time could be utflizéd with some degree of inteliigenmce.” | Here is suggestion surely for those | who must journey each day to and i from a place of business. Suppose | the time en route or whilp waiting | for trains were systemat util- ized. What if one were to keep in his pocket some small scfentific text book or masterpiece of literature, to be dipped into as occasion offers and to be thought 'about when the mind is freed from other cares. The result would certainly be a toning up at once of the mental life and, in the course of years. an authoritative knowledge of the subject chosen, Elihu Burritt, “The Learned Black- smith,” whose great career has lately been commemorated, was able to read upwards of 50 ancient, modern and Oriental languages by the time he was 30 years of age. It is not nec- essary or advisable for most boys to aspire to such a hight of erudition; but it would be a grand thing if they could learn the secret that made it possible. Burritt's sticcess lay in making judi- cious use of odd moments and in stick- ing to his task. Let a characteristic entry in _his dairy suggest the scene in the Con- necticut simithy a half century ago: June 19, 60 lines Hebrew, 30 pages French, 10 pages Cuvier's “Theory of the Earth,” eight lines Syriac, 10 lines Danish, 10 ditto Bohemian, nine ditto Polish. 10 hours forging.” And he forged well, too, as some of his and- irons testify today. It is certain that more minds rust out than wear out. We are capable of larger mental life than we realize. Dr. Thorndike of Columbla university lately asserted that the human mind needed no rest save in sleep. He a- grees with the late Prof. James of Harvard who sald, “The more the mind does, the more it can de.” What possibllitles of culture lle be- fore one who learns to use wright the passing hours! Whether one comes to old age as master of goodly realms of thought or & spiritual beggar is his own concern. It depends very largely on his use of margins.
