Newspaper Page TextIfl TOPICS OF THIS TIMES. A CHOICE SELECTION OF INTER. E8TINQ ITEMS. Comment and Criticisms limed Upon tlie Happenings of tlic Day U la tori rnl nml Nuw Nnte. The man who puts his licnd Into n barrel docs not eclipse the huu. Even when the worm does turn It doesn't create very much excitement. Some men are never happy except when they think how much worso tho other fellow has it. It Is nlways the fellow who has not been straight himself who Is tho first to Impugn the motives of others. It's mighty foolish to get so anxious nbotit Bavlng tho whole world thnt you haven't tlmo to do it tiling for your own ward. It In announced that 1'nttl will tour tho United States In an automobile. This may provo to bo her real faro well tour. Tho only kind of diplomacy thnt causes the Sultan to hurry Is that pre pouted by tho yawning muzzle of a 13 Inch gun. , If King Kdwnrd were to meet tho Emperor of the Hottentots would ho wear tho uniform of n Hottentot ad miral as a mark of courtesy? The population of tho world, accord ing to tho latest estimate, lu J.507,411), 233. But these figures were published before Col. Alexis Ilomuuod was born. Tho birth of tho Czar's son Is expect ed to weaken tho lulluenco of Pobyo donostseff. That will bo something worth while If tho boy never docs any thing el so of importance. After tho high-handed way In which Russia, In Manchuria, has broken every canon of International good man ners, It Is refreshing to hear her pro tests against Japancso violations of tho same code. It's better to bo a poor man and a rich Christian than a rich man and n poor Christian," said John Wnuamiik er. Thin In expert testimony, for no doubt Mr. Wanauiaker has been all four at hoiuo tlmo In his life. Professor Itlckot thinks tho twen tieth century will rival tho nineteenth In the killing line. Ho must have been reading the yellow Journals which kill 20,000 Japancso every morning with out a qualm or n bit of ovldouco. Captain Dernier Is about to make an attempt to reach tho north polo from tho mouth of tho Mackenzie Itlvcr. Tho Canadian government litis bought tho Germiin Antarctic ship Gauss for Mm, and will take it party of mounted pollco from Halifax by way of Cnpo Horn and Vancouver tn rclluvo tho party at present stationed on tho Mackenzie. When ho has landed thero ho will push toward tho polo. After many years tho obvious retort has been mado to Kinenfou's remark that not only was Knglaud an Island, but each Individual Kngllshmnn was mi Island hemmed In by u wall. Am bassador Choato quoted tho remark at the dinner of tho IMIgrlms In Lon don lu honor of Lord Huberts. Mr. Justice Darling, In tho course of his speech, said that Emerson's view might ho correct, but that "ho, when bo had met an American, had always felt that overy American was n con tinent." Joy reigns In Hussla. Such Is tho emotion of tho Czar at tho birth of it u sou that ho has issued it mandate to tho effect that hereafter "corporal pun ishment In abolished lu Hussla." I'ro Kumably this Is to apply to nil classes, and no one will profit inoro by It than the little Alexis himself, who will con tinue to survey tho Czarina's slipper or tho royal hair brush with cheerful iiess and tranquility. With a copy of tho tikasu within easy reach tho royal heir will begin life with no greater Impediment to happiness than a stray bomb or n poisoned bottle. Even tho Czarina will not venture to disobey tho Imperial decree. It Ib n had blunder for tho rich men to try to Bhlrk their civic duties. It creatcH prcjiullco npiltiBt them. They muy not euro far that, but It In a mat ter of serloiiH caro to them whether or not the law lu upheld. Without law their vast properly interests would bo worth uotliliiK. The more tho pcoplo respect tho law tho hotter It will ho for tho property ownerH, nud If for no htKher and nobler reason It Ih clearly In tho material interest of tho rich that law nud order hIiiiII prevail and It Ih therefore lu their Intercut tn ills c'hai'Ko their civic dutlPH with faith fulness and with wlIlliiKiiess and to ro poud cheerfully to the demands of tho stato authorities. , Massachusetts linu n law providing n tlno for theso who display "words, figures, advcrtltu'inentti or designs" on tho national Hag, Under tills law tho Balo of two miiKiizlni's was recently In terfered with In that Stato because tho flag appeared as part of tho dec oration on the cover. The Now York penal code makes It a misdemeanor publicly to mutllato or dolllo tho Hag or to uso It In connection with u trade-label, trade-mark or advertise ment of merchandise. Tho highest court of tho Stato has recently do elded that tho uso of tho Hag lu n trado-labcl or trado-mark Is not n do moment of It, and that tho law which so forbids Its uso violates the national Constitution, ns It docs not apply uni formly to all citizens of tho State. Hut tho court holds that It is coustl tutional to forbid tho printing of an advertisement on tho ling. In Color ado, where tho law Is similar to that of Massachusetts, un otllccr of tho Western Federation of Miners was arretted last winter because ho Issued a strike proclamation printed on n representation of the flag. Tho object of this arrest was not so much tho protection of tho flag from desecration as Interference with tho activities of m leader lu the unfortunate labor dls- puto In tho State. There Is no nn tlonal law for tho protection of the flag; but the American Flag Assocla . tlon, organized In 181)8, has been urg- i Ing the passngc of such n Inw. lu the meantime the sentiment against the degradation of the flag for advertising purposes Is growing In all tho States. Little objection is raised to the uso of i tho ling or n representation of It lu an ornamcntnl design, but It Is gen crally admitted that It Is as unfitting to print advertisements upon It Is ns upon tho dome of tho national capltol. "Why bo satisfied with three or four per cent from a savings bank when wo offer you a dividend on your monoy of two to three per cent n week?" You may tinvo seen tnls advertisement Tho wording was used by ono of those Gct-nich-Quick concerns recently closed by the nuthorltlcs. Did the suckers bite on this proposition? Did they? The firm took In inoro than a million dollars Inside of two months. It In stated that the pcoplo of ono Ohio town contributed about ? 10,000. Of course, a few "weekly dividends" wcro paid. Tho pcoplo who received theso dividends conlldcd tho fact to their friends. And the suckers grew keener for tho hook. Should ono pity tho victims? Not a bit of it. They havo learned n lesson worth all It has cost them. They will not rise to the bait again. Hut thero aro others. "A fool," It Is said, "Is horn every mlnuto" and then some. Kvery ono knows or ought to know that no concern can honestly pay two or threo per cent weekly dividends. Kvery financier will tell you that when an Investment of fers tnoro than four to five per cent annually tho factor of speculation Is mora or less present. It ought to bo patent that when extravagant offers are mado for tho uso of money a swln dlo Is contemplated, Two correspondents, one a govern ment clerk at Washington, tho othor a tradesman tn Georgia, recently opened up their hen lis to a New York paper. Iiotii aro lu comrortauie cir cumstances. Each thinks, however, that ho might have been hotter off In a material way If ho had dug a little harder. Thcrcforo each concludes that ho has not mado much of a success of llfo. Their letters havo started a discussion as to what success Isa dis cussion which provokes tho reflection that a good many who fear they havo failed havo really succeeded, and that u good many who think tlicy have suc ceeded havo Incontinently failed. Suc cess consists lu being of sumo small uso to tho community or country lu which ono lives. It consists In hav ing an Intelligent, sympathetic outlook upon human affairs. That man has mado at leant n measurnblo success of his llfo who loves books, and art, and nature. It Is success to lovo ono's work. It In success to havo friends and ho a friend. To havo n homo It Is a dally, perennial delight to return to this Is success. To havo ruddy, healthy children who climb upon your knees and pull your hair and whiskers when they aro young, and who are a comfort and stay to you when you aro old this also Is success. To havo tho polso and philosophy to bear with a light heart and a trunqull mind tho rebuffs and blows of fortune, should they come this Is success. If to all theso goods thero bo llnally added power, or fame, or riches, so much tho better and so much tho greater the suc cess. Power, fume, rlchesarecondlmouts that add to tho palatableness of tho most savory dish. Hut tho achieve ment of power, fame, or riches, or of all of them, Is but failure on tho part of him whoso usefulness does not grow, whoso circle of friends does not eulaige, whoso brain does not expand, and whoso heart does not steadily grow mellow. Who will say that tho success of "Undo" Hussell Sago, who Is still able, tit 88, to sit up and dally clip Ills coupons, Is lit to bo compared with that of Senator George Krlslilo Hoar, poor lu purso but rich lit heart, lu head, and lu public esteem? llo Did tho Trtlklnir. A lively looking porter stood on the rear platform of a sleeping car In tho I'oiiiiHylvunln station, aays tho Cleve land I'laln Dealer, when a fussy and choleric old man clambered up tho steps. Ho stopped at tho door, puffed for a moment nud then turned to the young man lu uniform. "Porter," ho said, "I'm going to St. Louis, to tho fair. I want to bo well taken euro of, I pay for It. Do you understand?" "Yes, Hlr, hut " "Never mind any 'huts,' You listen to whnt I say. Keep tho train boys away from me. Dust mo off whenever I want you to. (llvo mo an extra blanket, and If thero Ih any ono lu tho berth over mo, slide him Into another. I want you to " "Hut say, boss, I " "Young mini, when I'm giving In structions I prefer to do tho talking myself. You do an I soy. Hero Is a two-dollar bill. I want to get tho good of 11, Not a word, sir." Tho train was starting. Tho porter pocketed tho bill with a grin and swung himself to tho ground. "All right, boss!" ho shouted. "You can do tho talking If you want to, I'm powerful sorry you wouldn't lot mo tell you but I ain't going out on that train." Irrlitato from loo. Supply. In Montana tho experiment has been tried of frexliig water to bo used for Irrigation. As soon as tho weather bo eomes such as to melt tho loo It Is tit for Uio operations requiring tho wa ter. Tho plan, which so far U In the na ture of an experiment, consists In mak ing a series of shallow basins on tho Hlopo of n hill In such locations that, when water Is plentiful, they may bo tilled, euch of those below tho high est receiving successively tho over flow from tho one above It Onco frozen, the lco lu theso shal low reservoirs Is thero until tho thaw HCts In, when It melts so slowly us to keep up a supply of moUturo suftlcleut for tho germination and growtii of tho early crops. This unliie method has been tried so far only In tho vlclulty of Dillon, but It appears to bo success ful and is to bo given a trial lu sev eral other favorable localities. : SPOKANE J. D.
