Coasting accidents are now furnish- ing their share of the news of the day from all directions and they are of all degrees of severity from the harmiess upsetting to broken bon and deaths. Whatever their natw they serve to call attention to tl need of exercising the proper amoun: of care and caution. Coasters too dom give the proper thought to the part which they should play in pre- venting accidents. They heedlessly plunge ahead regardless of danger u til it is too late, the most hazardous place for sliding being the one -where the largest crowd invarmably congre- cates. With the hills in every section of the city in capital: shape for sliding and the pleasure being indulged in by large numbers, it is one of the most trying seasons of the yedr for motor- men whose runs take them along thoroughtares, across which sliders are shooting in a dozen places. Drivers of teams and autos likewise know the difficulties which are to be experienced in trying to avoid some child, wherever a hill is to be passed. Unfortunately is it in coasting, as in many other things, like going into water beyond one's depth, rocking the boat, or ven- turing on thin ice, that some fright- ful fatality has to occur before the need of caution is recognized. Far bet- ter is it to select safe hills to slide on where danger from vehicles and cars will be the least than to venture into dangerous places and continue to take great chances untll someone actually gets hurt or killed. Coasting accidents like all others should be guarded against instead of being in- vited, February 21 ONLY 'AS LAST RESORT. The distressing circumstances which surround the killlng of Ranchowner Benton by General Vilia has stirred up much feeling both here and abroad. Along the border line the feeling has become intense and from Europe not a little advice has been offered by the press as to the course which this coun- try should ‘pursue. Sight seems to be lost of the fact that many others have preceded Mr. Benton and as much as the affair must be regretted, in view of the circumstances he seemed to have taken an important part himself in_bringing it about, Even from the start of the Mexican trouble there have been some who have urged intervention so it is but natural that such should be ad- vocated under the latest developments, This would mean the sending of an army of United States soldiers into that country and submitting them to the same treatment as is being ex- perienced in the guerilla warfare. It would mean the sacrificing of a great many more lives as the outcome of conflicts and disease. Intervention should be as it is being reserved as a remedy of last resort. There are difficulties connected therewith to say nothing of the cost, which urge the exhaustion of every other method first, The Benton.incident has aroused an undesirable situation, but it is not a circumstance which can be attributed to the policy of this government. It is but natural, therefore, that the pres- ident concludes to sit tight and await developments. Intervention is not something to rush into with the same spirit and manner as characterized Benton’s visit.to Villa, GOING TO CHURCH, As the Fverybody-at-Church move- ment is being taken up about the country for a tryout, the excellent re- ports which are made indicate that it is a cause.for rejoicing not only on the part of the promoters, but by the communities which are endeavoring to get from it the benefits which mari- festly lie within. While the spell is on and the effort is foremost in the minds of the pecple magnificent are the results. In New York last Sunday all denominations were enthusiastically engaged in get- ting out the peopls and they Were highly successful. Big increases in attendance were recorded and it is hardly to be expected that such is not zoing to have a good rssult for the individual and for the church, As the Ohlo Btate Journal says con- cerning the ldes: “Cerdalply so good a purpose should not die out, Indeed it would be good:for the public werl if the?habit would continue and grov. One's life Is buflt upon conditions environment determines whither 8o 41t is very important for every mamn to select the right influence unde: which he is to live. g “It is not a question of doctrine or Dbelief that is so much involved in this matter as association. The doctrire can take care of itself if a person puls himself in an envirenment that is| kindly, wholeseme and uplifting, If a mahn respects himself, if he care anv- thing for the good that is in him, he will betake himself to company that recognizes the real qualities of man- hood and womanhood. If he chooves ! good company, he will be a part of i ‘The movement to increase church attendance has made an excellent be- ginning. Much benefit cannot help but result though no effort ought to be left undone to make it develop its greatest benefit, through the contribu- tion to and the increasing of the in- fuence of the church. CITIZENSHIP TRAINING. It is an ambitious undertaking and one open to great possibilities which is planned by the government in taking up citizenship training. With the co- operation of the National Municipal league and other organizations long in- terested in the problem of. education for citizenship, the United States bu- reau of education is undertaking a comprehensive study of the whole problem of civic education. By doing officially what has been at- tempted heretofore by a number of or- ganizations working separately the good results which come from uniting forces already well organized are aim- The bureau will undertake such coordinating these hitherto separate efforts, securing cooperation where independent action has prevail- ed, spreading broadcast the results of ecivic education and formulating a con- structive plan for definite work in this extensive fleld. ed at fusion by One of the most pressing problems nship education is that of | ipped teachers. There are few who have had the requisite train- ng. It will be one of the vital tasks in the new work to find out what can be dome to train men and women, whether already in the service or just prepar each, for the definite re- sponsibilities and possibilities of direct instruction in citizenship. The undertaking is one which de- erves to succeed and its importance will increase each year with the many thousands who are coming into the country m other countries receiv- ing its ben There is no chance of citizenship being too highly developed. VALUE OF ATHLETICS. Tt will be generally conceded that this is an age which understands th value of outdoor exercises and sports, and t this applies as well to thos in college as to those in grammar or high school. There is a benefit to be gained through athletics which can- it is the re of this development of body at tt same time as the mind is being devel- oped which has given greater power hletics. Instead of being zed part of the training they receive as much attention as and | are frequently obtained at greater ex- pense than some of the professorship: An instance to how firm a grip athletics have taken is furnished by Lafayette college in Pennsylvania which institution h: reatly profiied from the influence of its president, Dr. E. W. Warfield. Under his guidance it has experienced unprecedented growth, but he has opposed the pron: inence which has been given to ath- letics. His ideas of college and col- | lege training were of the old scho He placed a restraint upon snch things in college and was inclined to as great severity as the inclination of some heads of colleges may be to too great leniency. He failed to re ognize the good In athletics with the result that when he leaves the i tution this year he be succeeded by a president who does not posse such old fashioned ideas. Lafayet { thus responds to the demand of the times. Henceforth the nndergraduatcs | and alumni can expect to see athletics in their rightful place though with the necessary regulations and restrictions to preserve the educational standard of the ution, EDITORIAL NOTES.

Why, what do you mean?” “ly mean that a little rational sel- fishness in others helps a Jot. I should like Cousin Sarah much better if she were willing to think of her self part of the time, at least. T have discovered that extreme unselfishness can be quite as trying, if not more so, than extreme selfishness. 1 mever want to have another guest as un- selfish as Cousin Sarah.” “Well, I can’t see why trait should ever be disagreeable.” 1f my Cousin Sarah should ever visit at your home you would speedily be eniightened. You see, I realize what a dull time she had living all year round in such a quiet village as Busyviile, so 1 determined to take her to see everything that I thought would interest her. ‘We began with the Art institute. When I suggested ‘a visit there she . appeared pleased, but on the way | downtown she remarked that she wished her son William could go in her place. Later on, every picture that she particularly liked threw her into a deeper condition of gloom be- cause William wasn’t there to see it. ‘He's so fond of paintings, and he knows so much about art’ she said, ‘that it seems a shame for me to be looking at all these beautiful things instead of him.’ | ““But, Cousin Sarah, I begged, ‘as | iong as you are here, do try to enjoy yourself.” i * ‘Eleanor,’ she answered severe!y,‘ ‘“'m no hand to enjoy myself selfishly | with pleasures which my dear ones | cannot share.’ * “What did you say to that?” asked Mrs. Emmons, laughing. “What could I say? Nothing, of ! course. At the symphony concert, for | which I secured seats with difficulty, | she constantly- bemoaned the fact that her daughter-in-law was missing such a wonderful treat. She told me that poor Letty had never had enough | good music and it was a dreadful pity Letty wasn't there. She could | appreciate it so much better than I can,’ she said over and over. “It was the same way when we at- | tended the theatre. She kept saying “If dear Letty were only here, ho she would enjoy it! I feel ashamed | to think that I'm having so much pleasure that poor Letty is denied.” “Her visit to the public library was greatly marred by thoughts of the Dleasure that the school teacher in | Busyville, who loves to read, would have if she was there. ‘It makes me feel iike crying,’ she said, ‘to see all those books here, and to know that poor Mary Windsor can't get them’ So, for fear of tears, L her away from the library. | “Regret that her minister couldn’t | have heard the sermons that she | listened to while here almost spoiled pleasure in soing to the oty ! churches.

We believe Rexall Olive Emulsion is the best remedy made for toning the nerves, enriching the blood, building up wasted tissues, repnewing health, strength and energy—the best medi- cine you can use if you are run-down, tired-out, nervous and debliitated, no matter what the cause. It doesn't de- pend for its good effect upon alcohol or habit-forming drugs, because it con- tains none. It may not make you feel better in a few hours, but it will make you feel better, we are sure, just as | soon as the tonic and food properties it contains have a chance to get into the blood and, through the biood, into the rest of the system.

Theare will always be a nobility and a commons. Democracy does not operate to level all people to one grade. It creates distinctions as | sharp as those of the old world sys- tems. There will be as great a dif- | ference between a nobie and a vulgar person under democracy as there is between a duke and a stable boy in the artificial class scheme of Eng- land. There will be more; for often in Buropean society the real character | of the stable boy is not far removed ifrom that of duke. In the real gradations of nobility is of no significance. A lady who is a leader in the smart set may be low and common, and the lady who runs the typewriter may be high and gentle. Real nobility may be known by these marks: A certain fine cleanliness of mind An ignoring and an unconsciousness Mod- eration in eating and drinking. Per- | fect control over the sex instinct. The body must be got out of the way, else one always gives an impression of grossness that is offensive. All vanity, boasting, talking of self and of one's own achievements or money, & loud tone of voice, the habit of breaking in upon the conversation of others, too much praminence of the pronoun I—these are low.
