The keynote of an campaign is the speech made by Mr. Root to the Chicago ¢ tion, which was cntirely free of partisan attacks upon the opposition, or upon the personality of any opposition leader. No President since Lincoln has been made the victim of as much en-| venomed personal abuse as President Roosevelt. If the opposition | desire to repent, recant and mend its manners in that respect it can| «lo so, though it will have no issue le R the fine chapel at Mare Island Navy Yard in honor of the men | who perished on our warships in the hurricane at Apia. It| was a proper and wholesome act, for while honoring the dead it in- | cited in the living fidelity to duty by the assurance that sacrifice is | remembered of men. x ‘ That chapel ought to have placed in it another memorial of his- toric interest, and one that will recognize a class of navy officers whose duty is so gently and faithfully done that the public make] little note of it or them. With the’ American squadron that raised the flag at Monterey | was a navy chaplain, Rev. Walter Colton. He was a man of execu- tive force and high character. Commodore Stockton appointed him Provisional Alcade of Monterey, July 28 1846, and he was elected to the same office September 15th following. Royce in his “Califor- nia” says of him; “On September 4, 1846, he held the first jury trial in California. He found the people good tempered and studied ! them faithfully, applying from the first 2 sensible and tolerant mind to understanding and helping them in his office of Alcalde, and was in all respects an example of the more enlightened American influ- ence at its very best, in a time of transition. The people of Monte- | rey liked him and felt generally tontented with the new rule as rep- resented by him.” Rev. Dr. Willey, in his “Transition Period of California, says: “Colton with Semple, finding some old type at Monterey, printed the first newspaper in California on August 15, 1846, entitled The Californian. Coltén made the first announcement of the discovery of gold to the Journal of Commerce in New York, in a letter to that paper.” The newspaper started by Colton and Semple became the Alta California, the first and oldest newspaper on the coast. { T ne the attacks o A MEMORIAL MERITED. [ TLY, with proper ceremony, a memorial was placed in| 1 3 Chaplain Colton began the planting of American institutions here fifty-eight years ago. He was the pioneer of two great insti- tutions, the judicial and the journalistic. His influence as a founder was useful and wise. He remained here until after the gold discov- ery, and his whole history and career may be traced. A memorial window to him in the navy yard chapel will be a proper ascription to an American who did his duty wisely and cleanly. The Call in- vites expressions concerning him from the surviving pioneers, among whom may be many who knew him and his work. The pro- fessions of law and journalism may well join those in the ministry in promoting this memorial. A recent traveler in the interior of one of the wildest of the Philippine Islands notes that the natives keep a regular debit and credit account of human heads. Under this regime.one would be led to believe that the matter of a balance of trade between tribe and tribe would be of vital interest to every individual.

You will see Miss Bright Mind bub- bling over with vivacity. She will say all sorts of clever things, and her vivacity is becoming. She is little and | slender perhaps and a bit of kitten- ishess now and then rather suits her style. Some fine day Miss® Dull- Headed will run across Miss Bright {ind and the D. H. will think to her- self: “Dear me, how attractive she makes rself. Why can’t I do that?” So Miss D. H. starts in to be vivacious, too, and the result is she makes a lovely monkey of herself, and instead of gathering huzzahs of adnfiration from the multitudes at large she gathers in a whole lot of deep pity. The hat that may look fine on your neighbor may look dreadful on you. And manners must be as becoming as hats. What is food for one stom- ach is poison for anothet, and the gavety that may be charming in one woman appears absurd in her neigh- bor. Very often you will find a thin, slenderly woman, who tattles eternally about wanting to be fat. She absorbs cod liver oil and worries the family into taking residence at Chestnut Hill because she would like to gain ten pounds or a little more. After a time she manages to plumpen up a little— and looks a sight. Again we have the deluded young woman who doesn’t like the color of her hair. Miss Brown, across the way, ! has lovely red hair and Miss Black thinks she will have an order of it herself. When the red hair is finally acquired Miss Black cannot be recog- nized by her own mother, and instead of looking like a masterpiece—as does Miss Brown—she resembles a carica- ture. The best way is to be your own self, to be your individual self. You have | the framework for a type of your own, Take your individuality as you find it, touching up the best points and em- bellishing them, and hiding as best you can the little failings and foibles and foolishnesses that are sure to be lurking around somewhere. Since you have a type of your ewn, do not go out and find a type that can’t possibly fit you and then try to palm that off as your own, for the deception will be | quite plain. Let out your best thoughts. Learn to speak softly, to move gracefully, to have poise and balance—and your in- dividuality will be all right. —_———— Subterfuge.

He has a face that recalls those of Raphael's cherubs, and the ‘‘zltogether” costume of Cupid in which his proud parents posed him for the camera allows it to be seen that he is in all respects a fine specimen of juvenile beauty. In his own person, too, he is an excellent object lesson in favor of matrimonial alliances hetween the British aristocracy and Columbia's fair daughters, for his mother is an American woman and a famous beauty. Before her marriage she was Miss Leonora Van Marter and she hails from Tacoma. . Lord Tankerville, in his young manhood, was a notable figure in the frivolous world of society. Some twenty years ago he underwent ‘“conver- sion” and since then he has been distinguished for his religious fervor. For the favorite melodies of his unregenerate days he substituted revivalists’ hymns, and, gifted with a fine, rich barytone voice, has frequently made good use of it on evangelizing tours. Tankerville was originally an Anglo- 6Hl: portrait accompanying this article sent by the London correspond- SOME BRIGHT TALES WORTH REMEMBERING ORATORY THAT WON. Congressman William H. Jackson of Maryland was engrossed in discussing with a number of colleagues the de- cadence of oratory. “Sane people are not emotional,” declared the Congress- man, “and the conversational delivery of a speech carries as much weight with an intelligent audience as does the effort of a declaimer who indulges in brilliant periods with an arm-swinging accompaniment.” “You are right,” said a listener, “and your statement reminds me of a young lady who had two suitors. Both men had about the same advantages and prospects, but gossip declared that the girl would decide in favor of the man who was a lawyer, for he knew better how to present and win his case. Gos- sip erred; the lawyer was rejected. Later it was learned from a friend in whom the betrothed had confided-the réasons for her choice. “‘Harry {s convincing, but John is Just as convincing and does not have to remove his arms every time he wants to say something.’ "—New York Herald. THAT WAS ENOUGH. “It was on a train going from New York to Washington,” said Albert Barnes of Toledo. “Among the passengers were a newly married couple, who made themselves known as such to so great an extent that the occupants of the car began to make sarcastic remarks about them. “The bride and groom stood the re- marks for some time, but finally the latter, who was a man of tremendous size, broke out in the following lan- guage at his tormentors: ““‘Yes, we're married—just married. ‘We are going 100 miles farther, and are going to spoon all the way. If you don’t like it you can get out and walk. She’'s my violet and I'm her sheltering oak!” “During the remainder of the journey this couple was left in peace.”—Boston Advertiser. THE PRINT OF THE SPRINGS. A politician upon his arrival at one of the small towns in North Dakota, y Where he was to make a speech the fol- l lowing day, found that the two so- ! called hotels were crowded to the doors. Not having telegraphed for accommo- dations, the politician discovered that I he would have to make shift as best he could. He was compelled for that night to sleep on a wire cot which had only some blankets and a sheet on it. As the statesman is a fat man he found his improvised bed anything but com- 1 fortable. “Well,” asked a friend when the poli- ! terest awakened by the | two years a | to {in the Confed | are not to be dep | eral McClellan’s report is to be relied Antietam Losses Compared | With Those in Manchuria | Editor The Call—Considering the in- & of the rer great battles and the the late engagements may be well to think a little about the Manchuria ggeatest losses in any one day’s fight- {ing in the Civil War at the battle of Antietam, ember 17, 1862, forty- to-day We hear a great deal about the tense patriotism of the Japa and their willingne for the peror, meaning haps their and of the extra nary brave Russians, led by their faith ir their “Tkons”; of the great ment in artillery ich - der and the long t ne fantry. ording to the Russian repo in ten days’ d and 12,600 wounded.
