Telephone Main ML Leaminj: made eay n to be tli ideal of the modern pedagogue. Hi en deavor is to ojxire the student exertion. The elective curriculum enable the stu dent to follow the Hue of leat resist ance in choosing a course of studies. He i encourajred to follow hi natural bent; that is. to pursue only such branches as lie has a distinct liking for. In the case of an averajre achool or college boy these branches are the ones which re quire the minimum of lalxr. Knylioh literature, for that reason, attracts more "disciples titan Greek, and hUtory more than mathematics. Such difficulties as the elective system has not obviated for the student are removed by copiously annotated text oooka. Editions of the Latin and Creek author are provided that translate in notes every construc tion and save the student the trouble of thinking anything out. Similarly, the mathematical texts present, fully amplified, every step in each problem so that mastering it sufficiently for recita tion requires nothing but an exercise of memory. If education consists, as the authori ties say it does, more in mental discipline and. training than in storing the memory with facts, do not the easy methods now in vojnie defeat the purpose of the whole scheme! Would, it not be better to restrict election and to compel the ue of texts that do not .do all the thinking for the ntudentl mer employe of hi, road has exploded any wh theory. . General Manager Horn of " the Northern Pacific ha Issued an ultimatum to the telegraphers which U less bombastic than the utterance ot .Mr. Hill and i yet firm, dictating that the m roast return to work within ten day aid subject to eondttona a to their rating which ha will impose. President Perkaw apparently is a man possessing unusual xecutive ability. It eww reasonable to believe, judging from the manner in which the telegrapher have acquitted tiwmselvea thus far and the personality of Mr. IVrham that the pro posal of Mr. Horn will not be considered for a moment. Coupled with the atti tude of Mr. IHU. this would indicate that the strike i to be long and bitterly fought. Tiie Oreat Northern and North ern Pacific railway are unquestionably crippled under present conditions, and while great effort are being made to nrevent the. demoralization of traffic, trains are not running on schedule Some important poiuts of both roadi have been literally wiped from the time tables Missoula, Mont., must flag trains to permit the embarking of pas sengers, All limited, trains are arriv ing several hours late, fat freights are Wing maintained on disrupted schedule and local freight has practically been aliandoned. Aram we call attention not to the railways or to the telegraph ei-s. but to the thousands of small deal ers and merchants who are sntTering as a result of the strike. We hope sin eerely that Governor .lohnson may prove successful as a mediator. IN LIGHTER VEIN THE EXILED HOBBY HORSE. Men are not a a class sympathetic with other people's suffering, although when a man is in pain he is very im perious and insistent in his demand for sympathy. The average man is rather impatinet of the manifestations of men tal or physical suffering in other .people. He is disposed to believe that a per son, making a fu over some sorrow or pain, pretend to feel more anguish than he really does feel. On the con trary, women respond to suffering with instinctive sympathy. They are abie to project themselves into the soul of the sufferer, feel with his nerves and think with bis brain. To have suffered keen sorrow and In tense pain is a valuable experience well worth what it costs. One who has de ftcended into the depth of wretchedness can always thereafter feel for another who is there. Yet too much euffenng Is demoraliz in. Intense pain, long endured, will turn a man into a savage. Men, such as convicts, long subjected to brutal treat ment become themselves brutalized and if given a position of authority, will be cruel and tyrannical. The sailor who is cursed at, struck and starved in the forecastle, usually, if he ever ries to the -'quarter-deck, curses, strikes and starves ids crews, as mate or master. The hell siiin Wets other hell-ships. The rea son of this is that the man inured to brutnlitv lo-es his sensitiveness and tl fail to perceive the character of bis eon duct or the impression it makes on less baldened spirit than hi own. In a recent issue of the Astorian con ditionn were cited that would develop as a result of the telegraphers' strike on tiie Great Northern and Northern Fa c''ic railways. Attentiin was called to the fuct that these railways were pe culiarly located and that mucji suffering would be visited upon the regions they touch if the strike continued for any length of time. Our prophesy has proved currect. Collectively and individually, Merchants in communities situated on the lines of both companies are endeav oring to bring about a settlement of the difficulty, Governor Johnson of Min-ne-ota has !een appealed to and in re sponse be has addressed letters to the beads of the Great Northern and North ern Pacific and to President Perham of the tf!e.ii!phrs requesting that imme diate measures Is? adopted to bring the strike to an end and thus alleviate the miffcrin" of thousands of people. While it was thought that President Hill of ..ttlie Great Northern would intervene in behalf of the striking telegraphers, his rather emphatic denunciation of the for Hark, dear friends, to my pitiful tale, of how I crossed the seas, Sent by a loving grandma, to the land of the Japanese! Tn mii a little one. livmc there on Yokohama's bluff I crossed the wide Pacific, an ocean, oh, so rough! They packed me up in a box so tight, with canva round my head; I'd rather been back in the toy-ship, or anywhere else Instead. Now I've settled down in this foreign - land, and am learning every day To love this child and her "Ama," and gues at what they say. My mistress is not a yellow balie, but as white as she can be, With golden hair upon her head and eyes that match the sea. And she loves me, I assure you, for she thinks my rickety-rock As fine as a Japanese pony, in either a gallop or trot. So when she puts her arms round me and tives me a good hard squeeze I open my round' eyes wider with a wild endeavor to pleas. nt t.mrt U lilted with sadness, for LJIIV ' "" " doubtless this maiden will prow And I'll pas. on to somebody el- do vou wonder my spirits get low! For how could a Japanc-e maiden rule me with any repose! It never would do I ve seen a lew they don't wear suitable clothes. So a muscular 1mv will get me and ride astride of my back- In this land of go he'll, think me slow and L'ive me many a whack. And with mv sides all battered down. what chant have I, or show To return to that dear land so free, where I'm loved by high and low! And while I'm only a hobby-horse, with a badlv modeled head, A bit of harness nailed on tight and stirrups made .of lead, I've thought' enough to know full well where I would like to stay- Ami that is under the Stars and Stripes, forever and a day.

A plague on city porches close abutting on the street! , They're purely ornamental, aaj for comfort 'not designed The amall and stuffy porche uapwtect- ed from the heat That steams from street and pave ment, and no rest on them I find! Where'a one to wing a hammock no' to stretch a yawning nn , And never crack his knuckle on the railing' close confines! Oh, give me, please, the porch the home folk have down on the farm VKii preen wistaria tannics and wlier five-leafed ivy twines! I'd like to have my hammock awing be tween an outer pot Of that wide porch and our old house the house where 1 wa lawn: There I could lie and rest tha while , sweet memories, a host. Passed in review, fond memories of of hovhood' sun-kissed morn. In that retreat so leaf-ensconsed the world I'd quite Jorget t I'd Mimoth from out mv brow dull worrv'a deeply penciled lines From that old porch I'd wave adieu to flnrrv, fume and fret ' Where gm-n wistaria tangle and where five-leafed Ivjr twines. The August heat were powerless then to reach or assail My rot when daily toil were o'er ami and twilight shadow should An evening in my hammock then with pUtlnes 1 could hail; fall; Of suit rv.citv nitihts I then would feel no dread at all. A broad old porch all garlanded with close-mehei leaves of green. A porch that eoiy comfort and not ornament designed Sot man-made porch, but (Jod-made porch and Nature-clad, I ween Where green wistaria tangle ami where five-leafed ivy twines.

Over two routea they travel via Rock Island System for a good share of the distance. You can go by way of Ogden, Salt Lake and Colorado, or you can go by way of San Francisco, Los Angeles and El Paso, and the Rock Island will land you in Kansas City, St. Louis or Chi cago. Direct connection in Union Stations at all three cities for all important points in the East and South. Or the traveler via Northern route can take the Rock Island from Minneapolis and St. Paul' to Chicago. Rock Island service is the kind that gratifies best meals on wheels. a. h.
