The revival of that ancient proposition to pension government employes who have grown old in the federal service, is not likely to excite much favorable comment or any favorable action. There is no reason for it. It is the policy of this country to pension no man unless he has bared his breast for country's sake on the battlefield. The government clerk who is old has no claim. He-was eager for the position to begin with and was well paid while he served, receiving doubtless more than he could have made at any other work. If provident he wa,s able to save enough for his old age if improvident he has only himself to blame. Pensioning aged clerks would place a premium on improvidence and would create even a greater struggle than now exists for federal place.
The citizens of Boston have an abiding faith in the saving grace of the federal government. A petition has been presented to President Roosevelt asking that government transports be loaned for the purpose of conveying coal for the city from the tide water. The government has transports and Boston can't see why .she shouldn't be entitled to the use of them. Boston's proprietary instinct haa always been great but the present' request is drawing rather strongly on the public patience. If Boston can use the government transports to haul her coal why can't Indiana cities use government mail cars to .liaul theirs? j,
Since coming under the American flag the business of Porto Rico and Hawaii have both doubled and more interna! improvements have been made than were put tlfiough in the half century' that preceded. Xot only this, but the sanitary conditions of the islands have been completely revolutionized and the diseases and plagues that once menaced life there have been reduced to a minimum or practically eliminated. While doing so much for the pliv-ical and financial, well-being of these peoples Uncle Sam has been building for himself fine markets for the -future.

There is serious talk of a convention of the leading Democrats of the southern states to.be held some time within the next few months to consider the policies and interests of the Democratic party of the. nation. Certain southern Democratic newspapers and leaders are urging the matter, holding that inasmuch as the south furnishes practically the whole of the party's vote in the electoral college, it should have the dominant voice in the party management and should be entitled as well to the precedential candidate.. Whether this idea will have fruition in fact remains to be seen but in any event the agitation is significant. The triumphant and dominant Democracy of the south is tired of the rule of the defeated and domineered Democracy of the north. While this discontent and restlessness may not find expression in a convention of the southern Democrats it will most assuredly prove a potent and uglv factor in the next national convention of the party.

Pros and Cons of Vivisection.
ft will be recalled that Alklsbipuia.i Aikpn w» (he head tn fool, hall iramc this fall, and took .it so iTPthat it was feared that he would die. The case, excited great interest and anxiety, the more so bpcausc for some days it mad it uncertain whetlmr the army and navy.foot ball game would be played. Mr. Aiken's life Was saved by an operation done, bv Dr. Keen of Philadelphia, who took out piece of the young man's skulls and. removed a hug?,, clot of blood which Was pressing upon the brain. That, relieved ilie patient, wlio at last accounts was fast recovering. Dr. Keen js a professor of surgery in Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. He lias taken advantage of the unusual public interest iu Midshipman Aiken's caso to write a letter about aiilirvivisection. He has addressed it to Senator Uallingcr of New Hampshire, who has repeatedly introduced into congrfe.ss bills to regulate (virtually to prohibit) experiments ou live animals in the Distinct of Columbia. At considerable length and with many interesting details Dr. Keen disclosed to Mr. C«alling#r that but for knowledge slowly derived from experiments oai amitials he could not have located the clot on Mr. Aiken's brain, and could not have saved his life. At (he spot where lie opened the skull there was no exterior bruise. He was gujded to it by convulsions- in the patient's .arm. Since 1885 surgeons had learned what those particular convulsions meant, and precisely where to look for the seat: of trouble. They could never have, found it out, Dr. Keen savs, except by experiments in vivisection. Senator Oallinger may retort that Midshipman Aiken would not have got. hurt if he had exercised common prudence and eschewed fotball, but the. general public will consider Dr, Keen's loiter a strong document. Vivisection is on its defence everywhere, and doubtless ought to be, lor it- is a piefty harrowing practice. But it is so easy to argue and excite public sentiment, ^iguinst it that, it is a public service to make a strong point in its favor when, as iu Aiken's ease, one can be made.

capable, we have noti ndec.d the sus
pension of natural selection in society, but the first basis of a social process, the intensity and elliciency of which have, under the influence of natural selection when viewed from a wider sta.ndpaint, begun to tell to an increasing degree in competition with all other types of society whatever.
jection of the sense of human responsibility outside the limits of- all the c-reeds and interests which, in previous stages, had embodied it in the state, has resulted in the gradual dissolution of the closed absolutisms in the state within which human activities had previously been confined. The dissolution of the conception upon which slavery rested the growth of the conception of the native equality of men, and of their right to equal voting power in the stahte, irrespective oi status or possessions the undermining of the absolute position of the occupying cln-sses, and of the ideas by which ci\il and religious opinion
was
flhe
pro
previously supported by the pow
er of the state the tolerance of parties the right of free inquiry in every direction the long movement towards political enfranchisement with finally the growth of that conviction which constitutes a standing challenge to all existing absolute tendencies in the economic conditions of the rtiodern world namely, that the distribution of wealth in a well?ordered state should aim at realizing ^political justice—are all features of an integrating process in Western history. They are all the marks of a type of society of higher organic potentiality than 'lias existed in the world before a type of which the characteristic feature is that the sense of human responsibility has been at last projected outside the state and beyond the present.
How Our Language Grows.
In an article on "The Coinage of Words,'. Professor Kittredge tells of the real origin of some of the suffixes by which the language is constantly increased: "The ending -ly," says Professor Kittredge, "is an abraded form of the Anglo-Saxon lie, bur like (compare manly with manlike, godly Avith gc-dlike).
So -dom (in kingdom, martyr
dom, our doom here the com
plete word has survived in a special sense, but is no longer associated with the suffix -dom in our linguistic consciousness. The ending -hood (in childhood, widowhood, etc.) has, of course, nothing to do with the noun hod it is an old had (later hod), meaning 'character,' 'position,' 'station, and the like, which has
been obsolete as an independent noun.
These three suffixes, -ly, -dom, and -hood, old as they are, are traceable, step by step, iu the history of our language, so that they afford us an excellent opportunity of observing the mocess by which an independent word may sink from the position of the second member of a compound to that of a mere derivative ending. To King Alfred cild-lmd was a compound word, for both parts were still in use separately as simple nouns. To us, however, childhood is no longer a compound, but a mere derivative of child, made by means of the abstract suffix -hood. Historically considered, then, derivation by means of suffixes is a form of composition, and we should expect, to find the same freedom existing in the coinage of new derivatives that we have already observd in th compounding of nouns."

DEBS ON THE SLOPE
TERRE HAUTEAN PREACHING SOCIALISM IN FAR WEST.
HAS MANY FOLLOWERS THERE
Press Says He Will be Warmly Welcomed in the Future When He Visits That Section.
The 'Pendleton, Ore.. Press of Tuesday say*: "The lecture of Eugene V. Debs, on Modern Problems,' was greeted with crowded house at the Frazer last uight. Although the coming of Mr. Debs to this city, had not been as thoroughly advertised as it might have been, the large crowd which greeted him was testimony to his reputation as a lecturer. and to the deep interest taken by the people in the subject discussed. '"Mr. Deljs began his lecture by sayfng that man has conquered everything in nature, but himeelf, and for an hour and a half, clearly and lucidly pointed out the errors^ of the capitalist system, as seen by socialism, and gave the remedy for its evils proposed by the socialist ideas. "The conclusions drawn by Mr. Debs #-pealed forcibly to his audience. His easy, graceful system of reasoning, his ready and complete mastery of his subject, the telling and logical points he makes without a seeming effort, place him at the head Of the list of lecturers before the American public today. "The vivid manner in which he traces the. e^Hij^ii6f through its many periods of development in the American nation, allows him to be a student of extraordinary powers of observation with a wonderful clearness of expression. "The sentiment heard on every hand warrants the statement that Mr. Debs made many warm friends for his cause in Pendleton. His audience followed thf? thread of hiB analysis closely and showed its appreciation of the points made by heartily aplauding the conclusions drawn by him at many piaces^in the lecture.
He is an active, aggressive worker. His heart is in his .work. He is a believer in that social system which promises to give to humanity the best environment poSsibfe, that the best possible traits and sides of human character be developed and enthroned. "He is not an agitator, he is a reasoned He would not bring reform by passion, but by the utmost degree of peaceable and fraternal discussion. "It is refreshing to listen to his appeal for better conditions. It is seldom that a Pendleton audience has the opportunity of enjoying such a treat and it is fully and highly appreciated. His coming at any future time will be hailed an an intellectual epoch."'

MINERS: HANDICAPPED
SCARCITY OF QAR8 REDUCES THE OUTPUT AT MINES.
CONVENTION WEAR AT HAND
Next Marith will Decide the Conditions -.Under Which the Miners are to Labor for Another Year.
In.his weekly letter to the United Mine Workers' Journal Secretary J. H. Kennedy says: "Work so far as reported tins week is much the same as it has been for the last month or more. There is still complaint of scarcity of flats from some of the mines, but it appears that all are getting reasonably fair work. The mines at Grant and Ehrmanndale complain that their work has not been extra good for the last two or three ure«ks. Whether thi# is entirely due to a scarcity of flats or not the writer is unable to say. "President Hargrove visited Kentucky on important business during the fore part, of the week and since his return home he has been kept busy attending to business at Sullivan and other points. "Vice-President Boyle has also been kept busy during the week. Yesterday attending to business at. Bill I own nnd Sceleyville, and today at No. 10 of the Parke County Coal company, I do not know of any serious trouble now in the district, although requests have been made from Coal Bluff and Linton for some of the officers to come there. "And now I shall not attempt to write a long letter as the conventions are drawing near and it will take about all my time to perform the clerical work of the office. "The strike is still on at Cannelton, and the union men at that place expect to win a victory, although they have ueen on strike for nearly two years and part of that time on their own resources."
