The government printing office has recently issued a "Report on the Star Spangled Banner, Hail Columbia, America, Yankee Doodle." This valuable work is by Oscar George Theodore Son neck. It appears from one authority in commenting on this book that Yankee Doodle resembles the melodic intervals in the "'Hymn to Joy" in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The various apologies which are made for our national airs are interesting and entertaining. Yankee Doodle, it is said, is "ludicrous." The last chance we had to really see them in action, (which is the place where the practibility of any thing should be tested) was the Spanish American war. When the Indiana regiments paraded on their way to the fever camp of Chicamagua they marched along to Yankee Doodle, And there were tears. Consider, then, the N. Y. Evening Post. "It is to be greatly regretted that Mr. Sonneck should have apologized for this vulgar tune!" Shucks. A COMMON FAILING. Young Sidis, aged eleven, who lately startled the rest of us by lecturing before, the Mathematical society on Four Dimensional Bodies is sick and has been removed from college. Details are, as yet, lacking, but the performance would lead one to believe that he has been working too hard. It is unnecessary to follow the obvious trend of thought on his precocity and Its result. The boy is doubtless happier In the consideration of the Fourth Dimension and its fundamental theorems which he is said to have discovered. Nor is it necessary to recite the achievements of Pascal, Galois, and other admirable Crichtons. Let us leave young master Sidis with his choice of vector analysis and Hamilton's quaternions. Most of us are content and if we have children of our own are quite sure that they surpass young Sidis in wisdom, resource and sagacity even if they are still in vulgar fractions. THE DIPLOMACY OF MR. KNOX' It may have been thought by some American citizens that Mr. Knox's long acquaintanceship with Pennsylvania politics is of such a nature that diplomacy is second or fourth nature to him. It begins to appear that he has a fashion of being too sudden and of going off unloaded. We had Nicaragua and Zelaya. Now a note to .lapan and Russia that they hand over their respective sections of the Manchuria n railroad. This was about all that Japan got out of the Russo-Japanese war and Russia needs all she has left to maintain a strategic position for defense. " It would seem that the diplomatic duties of Secretary Knox are as lightly discharged as his dismissal of Mr. Crane of Chicago from the mission to China. BLUE BIRDS. The show windows are already being filled with those harbingers of spring light in color and texture and heavy on the monthly statement. Four weeks and we shall hear the clack of the blue birds. There is no more cheering sight in this little world than the lingering snow in the fence corner where it has been driven like an animal at bay. Cheer up! It will be spring shortly. Spring, redolent of the overshoe, rain coat and the peach blossom. The boys will soon be saulrtins the maple seed in each. oth-

EDUCATION ON FRANCHISES. A local public service corporation man made a seemingly revolutionary statement the other day, when he said that he would like to throw his business open to the inspection of the people. Furthermore, he announced himself in favor of a course for the people of this town such as would give them a basis for the investigation of franchises. The time was, (and in some notable cases still Is ) when public service corporations were not terribly interested in informing the people of any town as to just how valuable their business and their franchises are. That we all know. The idea of this public service corporation man was, in effect, that the people should be instructed in the amount of power in a ton of coal, and how this became the real test of the fairness of corporation rates after the various charges for depreciation and overhead expenses and the like had been subtracted. This he would supplement by a coun-e in the legal aspect of franchises. In this, as in all other things, there was a motive. The motive was toward the man's own interest. For he was tired of the old way, he also saw that could the people know when they were getting fair rates that they would patronize his company more cheerfully. In addition the education would lead to a greater use of his commodity in many new ways. And this in turn, would be the beginning of lower rates. This is worthy of attention from the side of the corporation and the citizen.

SECOND CLASS AGAIN. In as much as there is likelihood that the second class mail bill will be introduced as part of the General Appropriation Bill where there will be no debate and where the issue will be settled by the committee of Mr. Cannon's choosing, we should say that Mr. Cannon has something to do with it.

In the south of France is a concrete arch bridge known as the Pont du Gard, which was erected in the year f.( B. C. The concrete in this was not composed of crushed stone or other small aggregate of the variety now employed in concrete bridge work, but was of the old style, consisting of alternate layers of large and small stories, gravel, etc., and of cementitous materials. Vitruvius describes the materials and methods in use before the Christian era, and other writers, like Alberti in 1445, and Polladio in 1570, accurately describe the method which the "ancients" (as they call them) employed, "of using boards laid on edge and filling the space between with cement and all sorts of small and large stones mingled together." It is very improbable that the Pont du Oard would have withstood the rigors of climate of the northern United States, but its actual state of preservation, as well as that of many other specimens of ancient concrete work, proves that if modern work is honestly executed it will many times outlast any reasonable bond period, so that a very small yearly sinking fund percent is all that is required for properly designed and erected concrete work. Should do the "Vanishing" Act. Boston Globe. President Taft. of course, will stand by his cabinet officials, but there are some indications that it would be in a way a relief to him if Mr. Ballinger should come to the conclusion that it was his duty to drop all his present undertakings and tgo off and hunt for Dr. Cook.

TWINKLES Out of Court. (Philadelphia Ledger) "Good morning," said the lawyer as the lady entered his office. "I sup-

pose you want to know how your divorce suit is getting along?" "No; I want to call it off," responded the visitor. "I couldn't use a divorce just now." "But you have such a clear case!" "No matter. Nothing doing. The man I had intended to marry failed to get his divorce, and the woman my husband wants to marry has just got hers. I don't propose to be left in the air. See?" Thus the Court was saved the trouble of impounding more testimony.

(Boston Transcript) Hurrah! hurrah! We bring the jubilee! Hurrah! hurrah! No dollar meat for me: We will dine on vegetables from Denver to the sea. While we are busting the Beef Trust! SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY. (Atchison (Kan.) Globe) We hate the tariff so much that a smuggler never seems like a very great sinner. You will succeed in life if you resist doing things you know you shouldn't do. If a woman is a good housekeeper, her house is always clean, but never clean enough to suit her. Unless it fails on us, we are never going to be gathered up along with the debris of a wrecked aeroplane. There is always something wrong. If a man ate as little as the health authorities say he should, his wife would worry herself to death. Men's fashions change slowly, and may lack the brilliant and artistic ideas to be found in the feminine foibles, but we claim even man has improved considerably over his gay Babylonian ancestors, who went about with bare legs, and did their whiskers in corkscrew curls. Father likes meat; therefore, the movement to boycott the butcher will meet with the hearty approval of the women. In many homes not as much is spent every week on meat as on peanuts and fudge, but there will be no boycott on these necessities. Father's head is on the block again. Give it to him in the neck. A Lincoln Penny for Lee (Charleston News and Courier. She was only a little girl and she did not know much about history except ! that she had been taught from the cra dle to love Robert E. Lee. She had heard too, of Lincoln, and in the books she read there had been no attempt to paint him as a scoundrel or treacherous villain. She knew that one time he had been president of the United States and that somehow he and Lee had been arayed against each other. She did not understand it- perhaps she never will but both men to her were great, clean and spotless. On Lee's birthday at one of the public schools of this city the children wished to contribute to a fund for a little savings and gave them cheerfully, glad to be able to do even so little in honor of their hero the Souih's hero. This little girl had only a penny, and when it came time to give that she hesitated. She had not thought of it before, but suddenly it occurred to her that she must beware lest she commit an impropriety. "Please, teacher," she said, "will it be right for me to give a Lincoln penny';" We can not all give Lincoln pennies that will count as this one did. How wondrously did that little gift express the feeling of the great mass of the Americans! The coin with the head of the war president was to be used to assist in the erection of a monument to the great Confederate leader in that war. and who can doubt that Lincoln and Lee. if they saw the deed, felt that surely they had neither gone through the strife in vain? "Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings" comes the answer to the years of toil. This single Lincoln penny was worth more than any great sum of money because of the simplicity of the lesson it taught and the magnanimity of spirit which it manifested.

Practical Christianity

A resume of what has been accomplished during the last decade by the associated forces of the Young Men's Christian association, as shown by the January publication, just issued, shows great achievement. During l:tO0 alone, forty-three buildings were erected or enlarged at a cost of $us ,, and buildings now under way and assured will cost ?10. .. ". The current expenses totaled $ 7, ; 7 '."'! more. Statistics show a membership of 4;.".,M, a third of whom are drawn from the ranks of industry. The attendance at religious services during the decade totaled 4,C5,'0 men and boys an increase of with lvl,7 in Bible classes. The decade also saw the beginning and development of departments into well organized national movements, such as the army and navy ,the county, industrial, immigrant, Bible and religious and boys' departments. A railway furnishes an o!d car ,a secretary's salary and a few supplies; the association a man and a program, and a construction camp is transformed. In New York city a friend erects a Sju.ooo building, eighteen railway companies furnish salaries and supplies, 1.4 employees the force, and the result is the better character of the men and more eficient ser"vice by the railways centering in that city. The same co-operation of men, money, measures and materials brings similar results in Alaska, on the Panama canal, or at an army post or a navy station. As a result of co-operation in Young Men's Christian association work, men of foreign birth, standards and faiths. j coming together to learn English, have ' learned Christian American c itizenship, j Forty nationalities in a single associ- ' at ion are melting in this mold and men of a hundred callings and trades are blending. The fact should not be overlooked that thousands of men and boys, working together in Christian enterprises, have taken the first lessons in Christian and civic service and church and city, ministry and laity, have received permanent additions to working forces. Among the lasting effects is that, while working, studying serving and exercising together, young men broken from home associations meet amid Christian surroundings, and ideals are created which make for purity .honesty and ambition. Further, co-operation with brotherhoods, missions, churches and all sorts of men's movements of many denominations has contributed to a notable advance in the work for men by the churches, for which the association has not sought the credit. Still again, in co-operating with settlements, Sunday schools and a city government, the physical department has taught first aid, and is leading a national movement to teach swimming and life-saving. The physical department has also taught boys to play fairly that character and honesty result. Co-operation of consecrated money with consecrated men has put the foreign work forward so that, by nonChristian nations, the association is a recognized factor for good. The foreign budget in ten years has grown from $."!.i; to .ltX,Hr. and the force of secretaries from "! to 17. New forces have developed and have been combined in Mexico, South America, the Philippines, Australia and South Africa, provided with American secretaries, and among tap results is a .l.y,t:M building for the City of Mexico association, to which the government railway gives $:iO, , with other buildings at Manila. Buenos Aires 'and Honolulu. A force of secretaries have also been sent to the West Indies. Great advances have been made in Canada and the new northwest. Buildings have increased during the decade from twenty-nine to fifty-five and the value from .7;o,rfK to $2.0XMK. The Pacific coast cities, almost without ex- ; ception, have provided new buildings. and there have been wonderful in- : creases in the s6ith. During the dej cade the property of the association : has grown from ?25.i(,tM) to ,- a , K . The decade has also witnessj ed a wonderful growth in what are known as men's meetings, among which the Sunday gatherings are notable. In these meetings the attend ance shows 2,7;:,47i' as against 1.0U7,4:., ten years ago. The shop meeting attendance has increased from 7",hm to S4!V'0 in the same time: professed conversions from 4,483 to 20.110: union 1 with churches from l,.'i22 to 4,'.:'.4, and . the volunteer workers from .".04". to , 11.582. The association is justified in the hope that the showing thus made : will serve to increase the co-operative I capital of me nand money for invest- ! ment in Christian betterment under takings. FOR INCREASED FOOD SUPPLY Whatever temporary effects abstention from meat may have upon its prices .or whatever may be the result of the various investigations now instituted to ascertain the reasons for the prevailing uuusual prices, it behooves the government and all the people to take measures that will increase the supply in order to produce permanently lower prices. Secretary Wilson, of the Agricultural department, is reported to have said in a recent interview. when asked "Have ycu any plans for inducing people to go to the farms where they may help to raise food':" "Jim Hill says they will go there whe nthey get hungry, and the Secretary shook his head as to the question propounded. Secretary Wilson has shown himself so able, so broadminded. so resourceful in his administration of his department: he has benefited the country so much during his term of office that it is a disappointment to have him treat such an important matter with such flippancy, and to repeat such words of Mr. Hill, so offensive to the thought of the American people. If Secretary Wilson has no plans for inducing people to go to the farms, where they may help raise food, it is high time he was preparing some, for the people want no such conditions a3 mr. Hill suggests to exist in the United States. If the thought, energy and work now being put forth, to boycott meats were

systematically used and exerted toward inducing persons to go upon the land, so available to our people in every state, and by investment, care and cultivation add to products of the soil and the farm, the result would be far greater to the nation. As a protest and a warning againt present conditions the movement toward lessening consumption of meat will have some effect. We trust it may accomplish that which it wishes, namely, a reduction in the prices, but. as stated before. thf- permanent and effectual cure of high prices is through the great increase of the supply. The Enquirer is no advocate of lessening the consumption of the necessities of life by the American people, but. on the contrary, it favors an abundant supply and is confident that such supply can be furnished from our fertile lands if a national movement is inaugurated to have those lands fully peopled and thoroughly cultivated. The great popular movement to protest against existing conditions should be utilized by the department of agriculture, the state boards of aericnlture and the various agricultural societies of the Union, and by their united action and co-operation it can be made a potent factor in adding to the increase in the productions of the farms. Mr. Hill and Secretary Wilson should take the lead in practical plans to place more people upon the lands and thus insure greater productions from them. They are both men in whom the world has confidence, and we are sure they can evolve some plan and submit some remedy that will insure the population of the cities of the United States against hunger.

Stories About People The Law and the Lady. Former Judge Beasley, one of the counsel of the Public Service Railway company, in summing up a case before the jury the other day, told the following story to show the unreasonableness of a woman: "Pat Finnigan had been summoned to jury duty. Coming down stairs one morning, dressed in his Sunday clothes, his wife looked at him and said : "Where are you going, Pat?" "He replied: 'I'm going to coort.' " H'm!' said the wife, and Pat stalked out. Next morning Pat came down stairs all shaven and shorn, with the same suit of clothes on. "'And where are ye going today?' said the wife. " 'Sure, I'm going to coort.' " Ye are, are ye?' "Pat went out and slammed the door. The third morning Pat came in and sat down to the breakfast table with the same suit of clothes on, and greeted his wife, who said: " 'And where are ye going this morning, Pat?' " I'm going to coort.' "The wife laid her hands upon a rolling pin, stood before the door and said: " 'Ye're going to coort, are ye?' "'Yis,' said Pat. " 'No, ye're not. If there's any coorting to be done it will be done right here. Go up stairs and take off thim clothes.' " Newark Star. One of Uncle Joe's Favorites. Instead of being disturbed by his defeat, says a Washington correspondent, the Speaker became reminiscent and told a story which illustrates his opinion that whenever you have the votes you can carry out your ideas. "Back in the greenback days," he said, "there was a man named Emory Storrs, a brilliant man and an able man, in spite of some of his views. He called on Chauncey Blair, a big Chicago banker, and talked the financial situation over with him. He told Blair what the country needed was more money. " 'We have plenty of money," said Blair. 'The banks are full of it. We would welcome any borrower who came to us for a loan. " Well, let me have a million, answered Storrs. "'All right.' said Mr. Blair. T wish there were three or four more borrowers line you. But what collateral can you offer?' "'Collateral?' inquired Storrs; 'collateral? Then it isn't more money that we need; it's more collateral.'" And in the speaker's mind it Isn't recognition that the Insurgents need, but votes. Indianapolis Star. As a Poet Views Matrimony. Edward Fitzgerald, the translator of the Persian poet, Omar Khayyam, was a more or less genial opponent of matrimony as a state. One day he said to his friend, Mis3 Ellen Churchyard of Woodridge: "Do you know, Nell, what marriage is?" Miss Churchyard thought not. "Then I'll tell you," said he. "Marriage is standing at one's desk, nlcely settled to work, when a sreat big bonnet pushes in at the door and asks you to go for a walk with it." Cleveland Leader. A writer in the Vevue Scientifique discusses the effects of ivy growing on walls of various kinds, an darrives at the following conclusions: It is not advisable to allow the plant to grow on walls formed of newly cut stone, since it soon destroys the smooth surface, although the damage does not exteend to any noticeable depth; it is bad for ancient walls of cut stone, the joints of which have been opened by the various effects of time and the weather: it is not injurious on brick walls: if the inhabitants are not subjeect to rheumatism: and it is useful on ancient walls of rubble, since its interlaced branches tend to prevent the fal lof loose stones. That the blood of a horse has the peculiar propert of acting as a styptic and assisting the formation of cicatrix, when applied to fresh wounds is a fact well known to the medical profession. The difficulty about its application has hitherto bee nhow to obtain fresh, germ free horse blood in an emergency.

Banks Have S-Hour Shifts

(New York Sua Four big banks In the Wall street district esenible the great gold mines of the west in on3 striking feature. They have three eight-hour shifts of toilers and the work never stops. One j set takes up the work where the other leaves off. All night long Sundays and holidays a staff of men in each of these banks is busy opening thousands of lettetrs, j sorting and listing innumerable checks and drafts that represent fabulous sum of money. These they get ready for the day force which is the only one the public comes in contact with or ever hears about. If this work was not carried on incesantly the banks would soon be overwhelmel with a mountainous accumulation of detail. Two shifts the "scoutine force " n-s they call themselves work between 5i in the afternoon and i the next morning. Each bank has a big drawer in the general postofflce. Mesengers clear this of Its letters every hour all night long. Three thousand letters a day is the average mail of tne of these large banks. Two thirds of it comes in during the night. These letters in the case of one of the biggest of these banks, contain from .'V,m to .im checks and drafts. At times these enclosures represent as much as S.'iiMX'O.- . Rarely does the total fall below $2 . an. The letters are opened as fast as they are received, the checks are counted and the totals verified with the footings of the lists. The letters are then stamped, which shows that they have been proved in, as the banks call It. After th at they are turned over to the clerks who send out the formal acknowledgments of the remittances they contain. The vtrious checks are assorted according o the number of the books in which they are to b-? entered and otherwise. The sight drafts are grouped according to the routes of the bank messengers and all is made ready for turning the night's accumulation over to the day force so that it may be handled by it as expeditiously as possible. Each of these shifts of night workers at the banks consists of from 12 to 20 men. Some banks ret a long with but one extra set of clerks at night. These come on duty at midnight and leave at a. m. This plan of working all night in order to keep up with the tremendous amount of business that comes in by mail was inaugurated about five years ago. The firt bank that tried It found that so much valuable day time was saved that one institution after another took it up until now there are four that have these three eight-hour shifts of clerks and several more who work only part of the night. OUR GERMAN TRADE It is no wonder that our merchants and manufacturers 6hould be alarmed at the prospect of a trade war with Germany, for our German trade Is exceeded in volume only by our trade with Great Britain. We have as yet no detailed statements of the supposed discriminations against our products. It is known that there are objections to the German restrictions on the importation of American cattle, though it is insisted that these are mere sanitary regulations and apply to all cattle, no matter from what country they come. The situation certainly is curious. Here we are In this country in the midst of a passive revolution against high meat prices. We are told that these prices are due to the diminishing supply of cattle. And yet we are trying to force our cattle into foreign markets, thus still further depleting the home supply, though the supply Is according to the argument so small as to make it impossible for people to get meat at prices which they are willing or able to pay. And to crown It all, Mr. Wilson, secretary of agriculture, says that he will show that farm products are sold more cheaply abroad than in this country. So it comes to this: We have to pay enormous prices for meat, because there are not enough cattle to go round; we propose to engage in a commercial war with Germany to compel her to take our cattle, of which we have not enough to supply our own needs at reasonable prices; we impose a tariff duty on foreign cattle, thus still further limiting the supply; and finally, the people of other countries get the benefit of prices on farm products, benefits which we can not get without a strike! We do not wonder that the administration is hesitating about making much of an effort to open up markets for An erican food products atfthe present time, for the only effect of such action would be Ftill further to lessen the supply available for home consumption. And the packers themselves tell us that it is too small as It Is. Scarcity, the packers tell us. is responsible for the high prices. Yet the proposition is to create still greater scarcity. The situation is certainly complicat ed more complicated since the enact ment of the Payne-Aldrlch-Smott tariff, with Its absurd maximum and minimum feature, than ever before. And it seems to be getting worse every day. We have grown used to paying higher prices for manufactur ed products than those paid by the foreigner. But now we have to pay more for our own food and farm products than the foreigner has to pay. In a word, we are "protecting" evry one but ourselves. We seek to stimulate the export of our cattle, and forbid this at a time when the people are in revolt all over the land against high prices. Such is the operation of the wonderful tariff law which was supposed to be the sum of all wisdom. In seeking to make congress the distributor of the blessings of providence we have got Into such a tangle as to be almost beyond the powers of our tariff board to straighten out. Germany does not wish our cattle because her agrarions think that they ought to be allowed to get high prices for their rroduct We demand that our cattle be admitted, although we have not so It Is claimed enough to feed our people at prices which they can
