He has ordered that the Roose velt system of simplified spelling-be taught when most folks had forgotten there ever was such. In fact, there never was. The system was the work of an international committee, not Roose velt. ' The tip given out that Mr. Taft, the president-elect, has com missioned somebody to purchase two powerful automobiles for his use in Washington has caused quite a flurry among the mak ers of heavy machines. Of course, especially in a case like this, where the president is such a heavyweight, it would be a great advertisement for the endurance of their machines. An Atlanta society woman at least that's what the news notes called her has sued a preacher for $10,000 for calling her in a sermon a "devil incarnate a devil from hell."

Phillips Brooks. i This is a queer world! Not so very long ago a man who had retired from active business after he had accumulated a consid erable fortune, committed suicide, because he did not know what to do with himself and life without some occupation did not seem worth living. Now another man, who has retired on a compe tency, has written a letter to one of the New York newspapers, asking for suggestions as to how he should keep from dying of nnui. In answer to this letter, which was published by the ac commodating editor, a perfect flood of suggestions has been sent in for publication in the same paper. Some of these suggestions are serious and fairly sensible, but most of them are too silly to deserve consideration. The poor rich man deierves universal sympathy. He supplies one of the most powerful arguments in favor of a college education. If that retired merchant had had the advantages of a college education he would not lack some thing to fill his life's sunset days; there is always baseball, foot ball and boat-racing to interest a college man. The Providence Journal, a leading Republican paper of New England, says of Oregon's senatorial situation: "An unusual situation exists in Oregon, where Senator Fulton, Republican, whose term expires next March, and who desires to be re-elected, is opposed by Governor Chamberlain, Democrat. Mr. Cham berlain won in the senatorial primaries last June, and is entitled to the offico by virtue of the fact that a majority of the members chosen to the new legislature pledged themselves to vote for the candidate reoeiving the largest primary poll. Of course, the Re publicans are irritated at the existence of a Republican legisla tive majority, whose hands are tied by such an ante-election agreement, and ways are being sought to prevent the fruits of his triumph from being enjoyed by the popular governor. The .scheme, however, deserves to fail, and probably will fail. Ore gon is a Republican state, but it cannot afford to go back on its word for the sake of keeping a Republican senator at Washington." One of the chief features of the American Playground Con gress, held in New York last week, was the spirited attack of a young Cincinnati woman, Miss Maud Summers, on the comic sec tions of the Sunday papers. Miss Summers, one of the best known story-tellers for children, was vigorously applauded when she declared that in the papers emphasis was placed on deceit, on cunning and on disrespect for gray hairs. "The comic supple ment of the Sunday newspaper is lowering the standard of liter ary appreciation," said she, "and debasing the morals of the children in this country. It teaches children to laugh when boys throw water from an upper window upon an apple woman or out wit an old and infirm man. Humor has its place in the literature of childhood, and it would be well if gifteoj writers for children could be found capable of substituting genuine fun for the coarse vulgar type now so prominent." Flirting is going to come high in St. Louis if the $1000 fine imposed on a man for indulging therein is to be made a prece dent. Blinders may have to be worn in that town by men sus ceptible to the goo-goo thing from the peaches. "Joe" Cannon chuckles a few chucks and winks the off eye whenever asked if he expects administration opposition to his election as speaker of the next house. And why wouldn't he, when he has got the thing nailed down? If Governor Johnson subscribes to a clipping agency, he must be convinced that he is the most watched man in the country, if the editorial injunctions of "keep your eye on Johnson," or words to that effect, are being obeyed. There is more building on a large scale assured for Eugene next year than ever before in the history of the city. In fact it seems as if the winter season will scarcely retard operations at all.

The pastor of the Second Reformed Church in Jersey City gives out an interesting story of what he considers the efficiency of prayer. A woman of seventy-five was desperately sick about one month before the last election and there seemed little hope that she would live long enough to find out who was elected president. As she was greatly interested in the outcome of the election, she asked the members of her family to join her in prayer, that she might live long enough to see Mr. Taft elected. Her prayer was granted. She actually lived until the Friday af ter the election. The story is quite touching, but, without irrev erence, one cannot help wondering whether her prayer would have been granted had she asked to live until Bryan was elected. If she had, what a long life the devout woman would have had before her, and what a mistake she made that she did not try it if she really loved this life. It has been suggested that John D. Rockefeller write a book giving his autobiography, and it is reported that John D. did not purn the suggestion of the publisher. That would, indeed, be uu excellent thing.
