GOVERNOR INDORSES IT.
Governor West was one of the first
men appointed on our State Railway
Commission, and it was his splendid
record while serving on; that com
sion that had much to do with his
election to his present high office.
While a commissioner he saw that
all public utilities corporations doing
business in the state ought to be un
der the control of that commission
and he had much to do with framing
the Malarkey bill, which was passed
with almost unanimous vote at the
last session of the Legislature. The

Revolutionizing Methods of
Teaching Foreign
Language
By Professor NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER, President of Colum
bia University
E MUST REVOLUTIONIZE OUR METHODS OF TEACHING
MODERN LANGUAGES BEFORE WE CAN HOPE FOR
FURTHER PROFITABLE INTELLECTUAL AND COMMER
CIAL INTERCOURSE IN EUROPE.
' Children in' the schools must ACTUALLY SPEAK FRENCH
AND GERMAN with an attempt at pure accent instead of merely
picking out a few passages from a book, as at present.
When we began teaching languages in the American universities
we imported foreign instructors. The foreigners, however, could not
maintain discipline and were gradually replaced by native teachers,
many of whom, though excellent scholars themselves, were HARDLY
ABLE TO CONVERSE IN A FOREIGN TONGUE.
The belief has arisen that it is unnecessary really to speak French
and German. Thousands of educated Americans visiting Europe an
nually are proving the fallacy of this dictum. English certainly is
sufficient to carry tourist parties from hotel to hotel, but it is IM
POSSIBLE TO OBTAIN A TRUE IDEA OF FOREIGN LANDS
AND THEIR VALUABLE CULTURE WITHOUT BEING ABLE
TO CONVERSE WITH THE INHABITANTS.'
Interchange of professors in American and European universities,
to beneficial to the cause both of international peace, and international
scholarship, positively cannot be developed properly because so FEW
AMERICAN PROFESSORS ARE TO BE HAD WHO CAN TALK
TO A FRENCH OR A GERMAN A UDTENCE.

"HP THE
Governor promptly and cheerfully
signed it, but the interests applied
the referendum. Now it is on the
November ballot for rejection or ap
proval. It should pass. All public
utilities corporations should be in
charge foour Railway Commission.
We need no new boards, no new com
missioners for this work. The Rail
way Commissions of 20 states have
such control. Oregon is behind the
times in taking control of such con
cerns. Vote 314 X Yes. It will be
almost a crime for the voters to de
feat this excellent measure. .
A Word With a Strange History.
"Treacle." or molasses, is a word
with an Interesting history. The earli
est treacle was an antidote against
the viper's bite and probably was made
of viper's flesh itself. It is a word
with a strange history, descending
from the Greek "ther," a wild beast,
whence came the adjective "theriakos."
pertaining to a wild beast, which was
eventually specialized to mean serv
ing as an antidote against a wild
beast's bite. In English treacle then
came to mean anything soothing or
comforting. Chaucer even speaks f
Christ as "treacle of all harm." And.
as so many soothing remedies were
sirups, treacle at length meant simply
sirups of various kinds

Oddities of Translation.
When the Bible was translated into
Japanese an equivalent to the word
"baptize" could not be found, and the
word "soak" had to be used instead, so
that Japanese Biblical students are ac
quainted with a person named "John
the Soaker" and with a doctrine of
"soaking for remission of sins." In
that case the mistranslation is due to
Inadequacy of language. It is oftener
due to ignorance. A schoolboy once
rendered "Miserere, Domine!" .into
"Oh. heartbroken schoolmaster!" And
another recovered from German the
text "The spirit indeed is willing, but
the flesh is weak," in the form "The
ghost, of course, is ready, but the meat
Is feeble." London Standard.

WORRY.
Worry is one of the most fatal of
all transgressions. It is a sin against
not one organ of the body, but
against the whole body. It is a vice
whose pressure is feli upon the heart,
and there is not a capillary in any
gland or tissue which does not shrink .
under the giance ol lis gloomy eyes.

points
for
Mothers
The Rainy Day Closet.
It is almost time to lay away ms
terials for the "rainy day closet,' a
device intended for the alleviation of
the care of mothers. Interest is now
centering in school, playthings are
tossed aside for the more serious
business of life, but they should not
be tossed so far that they cannot be
found again in case of need. Into the
"rainy day closet' should go the toys
from which the interest has temporar
ily departed, together with the ac
cumulation of summer magazines, to
be cut out and pasted in scrapbooks
later, and specimens of rock and shells
brought home from the seashore.
This closet should contain story books
for children of all ages, riddle books,
old picture postals, clever advertise
ments which come to the house and
many other things valueless to grown
ups, but dear to the heart of child
hood. Furniture catalogues appeal particu
larly to little people, and . mismated
decks of cards sorted over can absorb
a good bit of time. A few good new
games should be among the collec
tions of this wonderful room. Rolls of
colored crepe paper, a supply of paper
napkins, costing almost nothing, with
the assistance of pins, will make the
grandest kind of fancy costumes and
with their aid all kinds of dramatic
performances are possible. Paper for
making flowers, clay for molding pur
poses, bits of pretty wall paper for
covering boxes and all medium sized
firm boxes should find their way to
this treasure house.
Envelopes from which the used
stamps are to be cut will afford some
boy amusement. All the odds and
ends of lead pencils and crayons can
go into the closet and some day find
a use. There are sure to be "shut in"
days, many of them, when all this ap
parent "trash" will be welcomed.
In families where the "rainy day
closet" has become an institution the
room is kept carefully locked, so that
its opening on rainy days or sick days
is looked upon as an event of great
importance. The articles are carefully
arranged on shelves or in drawers, and
an older sister, or even an "old maid
aunt" for such there still be is ap
pointed custodian. Among the rules
and regulations pasted on the inside
of the door is one to the effect that no
one must ask for a new article to play
with inside an hour, though articles
may be amicably interchanged among
the group of little folks who have
been cut off by the weather from their
customary amusements.
Nervous Children.
If when parents notice the nervous
ness of a little girl they would give it
just a little daily treatment besides the
proper diet and rest it is more than
likely that the trouble would be soon
overcome.
In the first place, for a child under
nine years very little if any meat is
advised. Poultry is best, and not too
much of that either. Do not have the
old fashioned idea that sleeping on an
empty stomach is best, because it is
not It may be all well enough for a
dyspeptic, but with healthy, whole
some people it is different. If a child
tells you it is hungry whiie preparing
for bed and some time has elapsed
since the last meal was partaken give
her a cracker and half fill a glass with
warm milk and allow her to drink it.
If she is healthy it will not be long be
fore she will be sound asleep.
And now a word about how she
sleeps If yon wish to have vur lit
tle girl grow up without nervous
ness yon must see that she has nine
or ten hours of comfortable, undisturb
ed sleep in a thoroughly well ventilat
ed room.
By comfortable is not meant n soft
and downy bedding, but rather 1t
would be better to throw away all
feather pillows and wool mattresses
and substitute bolsters and beds of
hay. This would mean real comfort
and a sweet and clean bed. and the
wonderful relief that would come to
a weak, nervous or timid child one has
no idea of. There is always a hayfiold
odor about it. and that in itself is bet
ter than the heavy odor the other bid
ding has. ' especially when It becomes
damp with perspiration. The hay bed
ding Is always cool and clean, and.
what is more, it can at any time be re
newed at a trifling expense.

fire inspector, paid by the- city to inspect factories and conduct fire drills
among the employees. She is Mrs. Sarah Christopher, and she will get $1.1)0

city, which number over 500 and employ 100,1)00 persons, mostly women One
of Mrs. Christopher's duties is to drill the employees of the various factories
in preventing tires 'and also to establish a tire drill, which will be carried on
regularly under the supervision of a monitor appointed by the woman in

grown out of her interest in eugenics "1 think of factory girls as potential
mothers," she said, "and I want to see them protected not only for their own
sake, but for that of posterity." Could even a hardened violator of the fire
