was reported that hazing had become entirely a thing of the past and had virtually been stamped out There -was great satisfaction to know that this was the case at the noted military school. What is the surprise of the

nation since to know that abuses were again being visited on the long

suffering plebs? The time has come for these breaches of military behavior at the academy to be punished and fully punished. That will be the best guarantee of their discontinuance. A course in hazing is not necessary to the education of a soldier nor to the equipment of a gentleman-

It is time for the students to discontinue brutal practices and cultivate

At Aldershot, England's great military school, hazing Is unknown. Perhaps the English soldier Is not any better for that fact, but at least it must be said that he is no worse. Hazing must be permanently stamped out and obliterated. The younger military Bchools where so many of the young

THERE IS NOTHING SO QUEER and so changeable in all the world as human nature and at no time of the year does it become more manifest than

it does in dog days or as the sailors call it doldrums. It is a singular commentary on human nature also that there is more complaining about the weather in summer than there is any other time of the year. There ought

to be less because if there is anything that 13 needed in this country in

summer it is hot weather. The farmer is the backbone and sinew of the nation and his broad fields need heat and lots of It to warm the fertile bosom of mother earth and bring up out of it the bountiful crops that people need for their sustenance. The crops this year will be immense. Why? Because

of the hot weather. Imagine a summer

sider how thankful we ought to be for it. Let us be cool and calm and take life as easy as is possible. It Is hard on all of us who labor but what of happiness can a man know who knows not what it is to toil. "Don't worry" is the best hot weather advice to give. Winter with his icy breath

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 190S, by Edwin A. Nye. THE BODY AND SOUL OF "DIXIE." The women of the Confederate Choir of America have made a mistake in trying to fit new words to "Dixie." They say the words are "awkward. Maybe. But The words of the old thrilling song are forever wedded to the tune. The marriage is complete. What tradition and reverent memory have joined let not man or woman put asunder. The divorcement of words and music that have lived long together ought to be forbidden. With the best Intention doubtless the historic, homely words about "cinnamon seed and sandy bottom" have been changed by these women, who have substituted the lines: Oh, Dixie land fa the land of glory. The land of cherished song and story! The substituted words are good enough in their way, but it is safe to declare they will never permanently be fitted to the old tune. They lack the native flavor of the old words. There 13 a lot of "go" in the old words as there is In the old music of Dixie." The song Is almost as popular In the north as In the south. If you want to wake up any listless audience anywhere in America, start the orchestra to playing "Dixie." No other song will bring men and women to their feet with beating hearts and flushed faces like the old song. Let "Dixie" alone. Lips that are long since dust have shouted those "awkward" words. They are embalmed In sacred recollections. To change them would amount to an insult to the dead. This itch to change the words of our national songs breaks out every so often. Not long ago on attempt was made to substitute new words for 'The Star Spangled Banner." It failed. and deserved to fail, lecause the old words of the song are fighting words. the words that flamed up hot and pa triotic from the swelling heart of Ejancls Scott Key. To change the verses of any great national song is to do violence to his toric sentiment. The choppy, staccato syllables of the Marseillaise," dashed off In the fervor of revolution, forever belong to the wild, weird music. The stanzas that go with the slow cadences of "The Watch on the Rhine" will ever be dear to every lover of the fatherland. Let "Dixie" alone. Because You cannot change its body without harmfng its Immortal soul. mysterious source. It simply the r?.diation of heat which will occur in any open country which is hot enough At 6 o'clock the breeze will make your hatband Whistle. At 8'J.t will slap your tie in your face, and if you are wearing a soft hat and glasses the brim of your hat will beat against the rim of your glasses and make deep red marks on your cheek. By 10 o'clock the breeze is no longer a breeze but moans and whistles round the corners like a March zephyr in Missouri. And if you stay up until blood red Aldeberan rises In the east and Vega dips low in the west, the wind comes in enor mous sighs like the very world must have been shaken to give them vent." Kansas City Times. You simply have to get a new grip on the world-betterment Idea once in a while when yon hear from some of your boasted friends. Fictures of Taft have begun to ap pear in the front windows in Hammond houses. The Bryan campaign hasn't reached the lithograph state yet. Oh, well, lengthen your life by shortening your worries. Would Need a Stomnch Pump. An exchange in commenting on the present of J. West Goodwin at the Denver convention says: "J. West Goodwin, white beaver and all, turned up at Denver. The correspondents have much to say of the beaver but very little of J. West. Just what Goodwin's politics are it would require the devil with a search warrant and a stomach pump to ascertain." Cass County (Mo.) Democrat. There's nothing," says an exchange. "that make a society woman madder than to find Iter name left out of the list of guests at a society function that she attended." Ob, yes, there is, It makes her still mndder to find her rival's name In the list. Poor Thaw! They won't let him play the organ at Sing Sing, because the other convicts object. Gee, it Is miserable world. Some newly-engaged girls don't so so far as to test the love of the jouuk man they are going to wed, they simply test the engagement ring. The latest report says that the to bacco crop looks good. Yes, it looks good, but how does it smoke?

The anti-saloon league of Illinois will not make a fight against the re-election or Jo seph G. Cannon to the lower house of congress, according to the statement issued at Springfield, 111., today by Er nest A. Sprogln, attorney for the league, and at the present time acting as state superintendent. Mr. Sprogin says the matter was under consideration by the league officials, but it was decided that no active opposition would be put forth by them. He thinks that any fight that is made against Mr. Cannon's re-election will be made In the primaries, and that in case Mr. Cannon is nominated he will not be vigorously opposed by the antisaloon forces. Inasmuch as Speaker Cannon's name is the only one to be placed on the primary ticket by the nominating election, Mr. Sprogin's announcement means that the temperance people will not put up any kind of a fight against his re-election. The labor interests, however, will make war against Mr. Cannon. New York, July 30. A definite agreement between former Governor Odell of this state, and Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff of the republican state committee, was made Tuesday at the republican state headquarters, according to the Brooklyn Eagle, whereby Odell ia to give active and energetic support to Mr. Woodruff as state chairman, and in return Mr. Odell Is to receive such recognition as a man who has held the highest office in the state and in the party should receive.
