English th Universal Language. From the Atlanta Journal. It is a deeply interesting and re markable circumstance that the Chin ese government has issued an edict making English the official language for scientific and technical education throughout the empire. The action is particularly significant. Here is the most conservative nation of history, a people who are estranged by tempera ment and tradition from all that is western and modern. They have chosen English as the official language of their scientific and technical schools All this means that the English people are the greatest factors in our present ' day civilization, and it means, further more, that if the old disaster of Babel tower Is ever to be undone it will be through the English language. A Profanity Substitute Wanted. From the Rochester Post-Express. What is wanted Is a code of expressions terse, pithy, vigorous, which a man can use in moments of tense feel ing when ordinary speech seems im potent to relieve the strain. i Andrew Ijtng, brindled and buoyant, might give his days to the elaboration of a cursory handbook of exclamations for the sorely tried. When a man hears that his mother-in-law has come to stay two months, or that his wife has act gone to the country, or that his ttbor's cattle have broken Into the

Up to the Senate

No matter what the out come of this Alaska business, there Is one thing; comparatively certain. This will not end without the American people having gained a pretty clear ildea of what is going on in this country. Yesterday Senator Beveridge precipitated events a little bit. He put It up to the Senate as to whether Alaska is to be exploited by the great financial interests, principally the Morgan and Guggenheim coterie, or whether the people of the United States are to derive a fair profit and return on the property which belongs solely to them. .

What Senator Beveridge did was to put the case squarely before the Senate so that there was no possibility of evasion. Either this is to be exploited or it is not. Louis Ludlow of the Indianapolis Star Eums up the Beveridge provision : "l. All deposits of coal and other associated minerals in Alaska are withdrawn from entry. 2. The surface of such lands may be acquired and title conveyed, but the title to the minerals underlying the surface is to remain forever in the United States. 3. The mineral deposits shall be developed only by lease, under certain stipulated royalties to be paid to the United States by the lessees. 4. No lease shall be made to any one person, association or corporation of deposit underlying a greater area than 2,550 acres, nor for a longer period than thirty years; nor shall any such lease be assigned or otherwise disposed of except by the express permission of the Secretary of the Interior." The contention of the Ballinger Interests in masking their designs to get control of the millions of acres of coal lands has been that the North West was being retarded from, proper development by the government In yielding to the conservation Idea. It can be seen that by the system of leasing the mineral deposits and demanding a fair remuneration from the men who are anxious to develop the property and by allowing those settlers who desire to seek homes on the land in a legitimate way that this protects the people and opens the

land for development but not exploitation.

The refusal of the Senate to agree to any such fair plan as this brings the thing to a focus. The refusal means far more than the mere paltry billions of dollars. That refusal means that the people can now more plainly see than ever that the reactionary Senator of both parties are committed body and soul to the large financial interests which are seeking to despoil the whole people. -

The fight Is now on. There Is little doubt that In the events which are Boon to come upon the arena this Alaska episode is scarcely more than a skirmish. The whole thing depends on whether the people see the issue. Therefore in placing this matter directly up to the Senate the whole country can see more plainly than in the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill just where we are today. When the people realize the situation, the position of the people and the position of the great financial interests when that is driven home there will be a step forward for real government and a blow delivered to Unseen Government. The sorry story of the Ballinger episode and this climax in the Senate will not escape the future historian. Nor should it escape the people. To the historian it will be a clear exposition of the whole situation today in America. He will record whether the people backed up the men like Beveridge who are working day and night for the people or whether they refused to support him. Beveridge put the situation up to the Senate. But it Is also up to the people of Indiana.

kitchen garden, then he seeks surcease of pain in soul-satisfying polysyllables. Who will j supply 1 them? Where is the Carnegie medal for innocuous vituperation or the Nobel prize for sterilized profanity? Aviators and Insurance. From the Topeka State Journal. Aviators have been barred from the privilege of taking out life insurance. This won't be much of a hardship on the successful ones. Every time they make a trip of any account they win small fortunes, that will be able to keep the wolves from the doors of those who may be dependent upon them when the seemingly inevitable accident comes along. A Rival Attraction. New Orleans Times Democrat. In Iowa politics seems to hold the call over baseball this year, and the coming contest between progressives and standpatters in the republican convention In that state promises to draw a much larger attendance than will be recorded during the present season at any of the Iowa baseball parks.

"No." answered Farmer Corntossel; "the boys are figuring up the farm's profits on our new rapid calculating machine." Soulful But Incomplete. "That was a beautiful poem he wrote to you." said Maude. "Yes," replied Maymie, discontentedly. "If he had left out a lot of those capital letters and used more words that didn't rhyme it would help some in a breach-of-promlse case."

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.teM, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye

WHY? Young Mr. Knox, sob of the secreta ry of stare, against the wishes of his parents ran away with and married a poor girl. He was practically disowned. Afterward there was a reconciliation, and young Mrs. Knox repeated a statement attributed to her at the tim of the elopement namely, that ah had never worked for a living. Which waa a poor boast. Certainly she was poor, and If she did not work who worked for hex? In place of being ashamed of herself she is ashamed of her poverty and considers it something less than an insult that It should he said she ever waa employed in a shop or department store. That Is one way in which class distinctions arise In this country. When an honest laborer la ashamed of his work, bow can It be otherwise than that other persons should tak the cue and look down upon him and his work? The dignity of labor is easily lost when the laborer no longer dignifies it Being ashamed of honest toll is totally opposed to the spirit of American teaching, which says the man who heaves clay ont of a ditch for wages is just as good as the congressman who is hired by the people. He or she who does not work at something is a drone in the social hive. After watching the procession of well dressed people on the streets of one of our cities and being told that the people were all workers an Englishman asked. "But where are your leisure classes?" "Oh," wu the reply, "we call them tramps in our country." Do you remember the experience of that rich woman in New York who dressed one of her maids in an expen sive gown, hung Jewels around her neck and Introduced the young girl at a social function as a visiting friend? The maid, who was handsome and well educated, was much admired both for her looks and her evident refinement, and at least one young hopeful of the smart set nearly lost his heart to her on that evening. There is many a maid or shopgirl who would grace any man's drawing room as mistress and queen of his home. But here is a strange thing which I wish you might explain. Most wealthy men who hare gone up the ladder to wealth and position by means of hard struggling take treat pride in the fact that they are telf made men, while most of the women who go up from poverty desire to sonceal their early history.

Wish to call you attention to the manner in which people are accosted when passing down North A street by the Y. M. C. A. because of a lot of boys who seem to make a habit of sitting in the windows and calling to passersby. One dislikes to let bis daughter walk by the Y. M. C. A., fearing that almost any time that some boy may make an insulting remark to her. I know from actual experience that there are some boys who continually sit in the windows after the hours of four and six. in the afternoon and yell at voune ladies, who pass them, and have shown no 6igns whatever of conducting themselves in a proper manner; and we think the boys themsel ves should have self pride enough to keep them from treating ladies other than they would like to have their own mothers or sisters treated. But. in view of the fact that they do not it seems that some measures should be taken at this public institution to prevent the boys or young men from calling to people on the sidewalks as they have done heretofore. This is extremely humiliating, and the young ladies and women who have had such experience with the boys making remarks to them without the slightest provocation, will sanction the above. A READER.
