Uow country life Is attracting a
greater number of American every
year Is shown In no clearer way than
liy the Increase In periodicals dorotcd
to Its various phases. As to lxoks on
topics of this kind, each season brings
them In greater numbers, until it
imidi as If the wholo population must
be Interested In the country to the
extent of buying books and periodicals
n the subject. The Kssteruer la told
by one writer how to build a log cab
in, and by another how to run a duck
farm on a pond. Mountain cottages,
forest cottages, lake cottages, are de
scribed In a maimer that make the
reader long to abandon the steam

Kvery once In a while a wave of
public sentiment sweeps across the
country, aa definable In Ita movement
ml character as any other real and
lihyalcal thing. Generally speaking,
thla popular feeling Amis expression In
suggested legislation or constitutional
amendment. Any student of Ameri
can history, viewed from its political
and legislative standpoint, knows that
an examination of congressional rec
ords presents a panorama, so to apeak,
of great public movements, culmina
ting sometimes In actual legislation,
but more frequently subsiding without
definite result, it Is a good thing to
clear the political and social atmos
phere with these upheavals. Stagnant
air Is fatal, and even a cycloue, with
all Ita accompanying trouble, la pref
erable to an atmosphere so heavy that
It haa lost all Ita vitality.
Greasy, dirty and unsanitary paper
wuey constitutes one of tli dtmn
ablt features of tho jLaoorlMa urres
cy system which the basks and tho
government have made no very earn
est effort to reform. Perhapa tho dan
ger from bacteria la not so aorloua aa
some Instigators would have ue be
Hove, but msjiy of the notes of smull
domonlnatlon do become disgustingly
dirty, and the contrast between the
general run of tho American notes and
those, for Instance, of the Dank of
England Is sufficiently striking to
prove that something might bo done to
Improve conditions here. One effect of
tho preeent conditio! of tho paper cur
rency aud of the lack of postal curren
cy system la the very large use of
postage stamps for minor business
transactions. Thla has grown to enor
mous proportions, to the acute Incon
venience of many large mercantile con
cerns, and will contribute to the In
creasing pressure for a remedy.
The nation recently through Ita rep
resentative at Washington resionded
impressively to Emerson's sentiment
that civilisation la tho power of good
women. There waa a striking recog
nition of thla power when tho atatue
of Francos R. Wlllard waa unrolled In
the capital. Moreover, aa tho statue
stands, tho first memorial to woman In
Htntuary Hall, the personal distinction
through which tribute Is paid to the
sex commands Immediate assent. Miss
Wlllard was known throughout this
country and throughout the world.
Few statesmen have achieved a celeb
rity as wide aa hers, and none was
ever more devoted to a noble work for
the uplifting of humanity. It may be
anld also that to that work she brought
abilities of an order rare among wom
en or men. Hhe was a great organizer,
an effective speaker, a dominant per
aonallty In any assemblage. Hhe had
the enthusiasm that Is the "height of
man" combined with common sense, a
sound understanding and a rich gift of
humor. Huch endowment as hers would
make a splendid equipment for anyono
who should aspire to be a leader of
public thought. Having thla endow
ment, she made such effective uss of It
as to exert an Imperishable Influence
upon the good cause with which lior
name Is most closely Identified. Her
fame was secure through her works,
and ths nation honors Itself lu honor
ing tills line type of womanhood.
The painstaking researches of Am
bassador 1'orter In Paris lu (juest of
the burial place of Admiral John l'aul
Jones have been crowned with suc
cess to the extent, at least, that It Is
now believed to be known that the re
malus He somewhere under one of sev
eral tenements which wore built many
years ago ou the site of an old cem
etery. (Irnernl Porter Is not a man
who la likely to be deceived lu a mat
ter of this kind. Paul Jonea was tho
only American hero of. rank and Im
portance to 11 nd an unmarked grave lu
a foreign land. More a soldier of for
tune than a warrior belonging to any
particular country, he nevertheless was
the first American admiral, and his
prowess on the seas gave the first Im
pulse to a' naval history which has
always been creditable and most of the
time glorious. Peace aud Independence
lu tho United States wero altogether
too monotonous for him when wnrs
were in progress elsewhere, and dur
ing his later years he was In the serv
ice of Ilusalii aud Franco, dying lu the
last-named country at n time when
many other notables were hurried to
nameless graves, If Paul Jones' re
mains can be found they should bo
transferred to tho United Btatea and
burled with all the honors of war,
participated In by tho ships of one of
the greatest naval CMtubUHMiicntB on
earth, an a tardy but none the less
merited disavowal by the republic of
the perslNtent alaudera which have
been heaped upon his memory. It has
pleased most Ilrltlsh writers, historians
and orators to characterize the first
American admiral an a "pirate," and
even now, when good feeling between
the two Kngllsh-spraktng peoples Is
properly cultivated, the old falsehood
frequently crops out. Tho ashes of
Paul Jones borne from France to
America on a first-class battleship, es
corted by French aud American squad
rons and given Interment at Arlington
with tlio honors due his rank and serv
ices, would be an excellent answer to
this libel, and It would be worth all
the money that It Is likely to cost.
Paul Jones was an adventurer, no
doubt, but he was no pirate. Ills serv
ice In the Infant American navy was
as regular aa that of any admiral alnce
his day,
