FIGHTING JONES ATD WARBURG.
The fight In the annate upon Jonea
and Warburg hh member* of the Fed
eral Reserve Hoard strikes ua ns a
moat deplorable waste of force nnd
tlma In unnecessnry friction,
Tha president's choice of these men
has been earefuly and deliberately
made. I/e may be mistaken in them,
but it Is not likely that he Is, because
of a'l men he Is the one most respon
sible and the one most anxious to see
tha Federal Hescrva Board presided
over by men who by natural sagacity
and training are most gitted to con
duct affairs ably.
In the problem of choosing men
there ta bound to be an Immense va
riety of opinions and an Immense
amount of prejudice, but If those who
are so stubbornly opposing President
Wilson's choh e think they can find
tha right men for the responsibilities
of the Federal Reserve Hoard, outside
of all oonnections with monopoly and
big business they are adventuring Into
a field of experiment at tbn.
Part of the opposition to Mr. Jones
and Ur. Wu rhuig comes from unreas
oning prejudice and part of tt springs
from a wish to see the reform of the
currency system go aground. It would
ba a shame Indeed l r earnest, though
narrow advocates of these reforms
should play Into the hands of those
whose chief ileaire is to defeat them.
Big business, when It sins, sins
egregtouely, hut It Is the height' of fa
naticism to maintain that the business
men of big business do not average as
high In honesty and trustworthiness
as the men of little business. Natu
rally the ablest men In the country
are to tie found among those who have
large responsibilities. It I* a surprise
to find democrats showing such a
narrow and destructive spirit.
BACK TO BLUE BACK SPELLER.
If the reactionary spirit In (leorgls
will Just confine Itself to the re-htrlti
of blue back spelling, progress w ill not
ha hurt. We can still limp along at a
pretty fair pace under the burden of
ol<l fashioned accuracy In spelling
To be sure this fancy for good spall
ing Is conservatism In Its most intense
form. The enthusiasm which has been
amused for the blue back speller tells
a tale. It shows that men of more
than middle age have a voice In (leor
glo, that the traditions of the old
school are tempering the heedless ex
uberances of the new.
tThs blue back speller takes us hack
to days when school »«i no Joke, when
tha greatest lesson the schools taught
was tha lesson of hard work. No child
pith a naturally logical tendency of
mind t» a good speller. English spell
ing Is about the most capricious and
contrary thing In the world and the
child that finds It easy Is not general
ly of tha temperament that works
th'ngs out by logical deductions.
In fact, good spelling is a thing
which for nearly two generations has
been perstsiently fought Modern ed
ucators are tn favor of reformed spell
ing. which of course, menus no spell
ing at nIL or spelling of the any-otd
whlch-awny sort The experts on ed
ucation are bold and bad enough to
declare that the blue bn> k speller
should have no place In the public
schools of today. They wnt(| the >oung
folks to use their minds to better pur
pose we suppose, but correct spelling
la hers to stay.
Thing* we have fought nn<LJ>led for
live a long tlma. Those who have
agonised their young minds over the
caprices and contradictions of that
blua back apeller. those who have
bean spanked and punjehed for s fail
ure to do 1t reverence are not going to
see It set aside without a hard strug
gle for Its reinstatement
And after a'l. why pot hold to a few
of the old fashioned ways? Good
spelling never really Injured anybody’s
mind nor permanently soured any
body's disposition. It is an art which
to an me persons will always seem as
useless as It la dlftcuH hut It te estab
lished and what’s ths use of trying to
do away with ItT Besides which It Is
a discipline which Vouth nods and tt
Inculcates In us ths \ aluabla Ue- c of
learning to expect tha unexpected.
THE LITTLE HUNTERS.
Charles ami Frank were cousins,
and one summer they visited their
grandparents, who lived on a larg
larm.
"This must be 1 br- place we reel
about," said Frank, "where the hunt
ers find the wild beasts and the rob
bers sleep |n caves."
"Is t s run away,'' said Frank. “I
read about a boy who did I be climbed
a mountain and cooked his dinner over
a fire In the woods and slept In a
cave.” „
There was no one In the kitchen, ard
they hurl no trouble In getting what
they wanted. "We better take a fish
line," said Charles, as they were going
out the door
They had many stops, for their bun
dle was heavy, and they wanted to •jo
a long distance Into the woods, but
after a w hile'they came to twq rocks
that formed a low arch.
"This will make a good cave," said
Krsnk. They unpacked their bundle
and ajowed the things In the cave.
"Now we can go fishing," said
Frank, "and we can cook the fish for
our supper.” There was a lake near
this cave, so they dug for worms and
baited the hooks After a while Frank,
who was holding the line, lelt a tug
which made him get lip so quickly
from his seat on the bank that ha
nearly fell Into the lake.
The line slipped through his hands
and if Charles had not caught It,

would have been carried away. But
they succeeded In landing a fish which
looked very large to them.
Their faces were red from exertion,
and their eyes were big with excite
ment as they labored to remove the
flub from the hook.
"I am afraid we are hurting It," said
Charles, hn the fish flopped about.
Frank did not reply. He was thinking
only of getting the fish to the cave
and cooking It, and, with one hard

TABBIE'S DREAM.
On.** upon a time Tahhle went
went to sletp under the hay mow
and had h dream. Didn't you know
cats dream? Oh, yes Indeed, and
they snore too and sometimes they
"mew, mew” tn their sleep.
Tahhle %sd a dream and she
went “mew, mew" In her sleep. I
will tell what she dreamed about.
She |a.v In her basket with her
paws and nose curled up under
her amt dreamed that ten big fat
mice were right In front of her
asking that she make a dinner of
them, and If that was not enough
there were ten more out in the
barn.
Tahhle said, yes, she was very
hungry, ami If they wanted to he
eaten she would he very glad to
do It for them. So she put out
her pHw for the first one and It
changed Into a bin dog that chased
her down the street. She was just
resting and ready for the next
when that bit her tall and scamp
ered away. The next turned Into
a big rat and looked so tough
that she decided to try some of
the others
Two of the others made s dash
for a hole and got away, ao she
reached out her paw quick for at
least one of the rats and woke up
and found she had fallen out of
her basket onto the floor and had
given her head a good bump and
that was what had woke her up.
“Well," she said, "of course It
was a dream, for 1 never heard
of mice that would run up to a
cat and ask to be eaten.”
That night, when she went out
to call on her friend. Mrs. lllackey,
she told her about her dream and
Mrs. Rlackey aatd: "'Don't you re
member 1 told you not to eat so
much at noon and then go tn sleep
It ts sure to make you dream."
"Yea 1 do know that you spoke
of It and 1 won't do that, again,
you may be sure, I am so glad
you reminded me. Now come with
me and i will show you where
there Is a nice field of cat-nip that
will make us both feel better,"
and off they walked, arm In ortn

twist of the hook, he pulled it out.
The fish slipped from his hands, and
It seemed to the Jmys It ran toward
the water, They caught It, and again
It slipped from their grasp. At last,
however, Frank put his foot on it, and
removed his blouse.
''What are you going to do?” asked
Charles.
"Wrap It in my blouse," replied
Frank. And, suiting the aetlon to the
words, ho covered Mr. Fish with his
waist and rolled him fast In Jts folds.
They ran all the way to the rave,
and prepared the fish as well ns they
knew, then they started a fire and
put the wish on two sticks and held
it over the flames; the stick caught
fire and had to be changed so often
that the fish did not look very appe
tizing when they finally decided It
was done.
But It tasted good to the hungry lit
tle fishermen, and, although they had
many things that they had brought
from their grandmother's pantry,
nothing tasted so good as the burned
ftst).
The sun had set when they finished
eating, and as they did not have any
dishes, there was no work to be done.
"Let us go to bed," said Frank, "then
we can get up early and hunt for a
lion,”
They spread out the blanket and
then rolled themselves In It, and in a
short time they were asleep.
All this time their grandfather and
grandmother were looking all over the
farm for them, and when tha supper
hour hail passed and it was dark thek'
grandfather and the farm hands took
a lantern and the dog and began
searching for them.
It was late in the evening when
Frank was awakened by hearing some
thing outside the cave.
The sound came nearer and nearer,
and then It came to the entrance of
the cave. “It may be a lion," thought
Frank, as he saw the form of an ani
mal, and It crept closer and closer un
til It touched his face.
With a loud cry Frank tried to free
himself from the blanket, hut the
space Inside the cave was small and
then the blanket held him.
/ His cry awakened Charleß, and by
that time they heard voices outside.
They crawled out and there was their
grandfather wdth the dog standing
beside him, wagging his tail as though
to say, "Here they are; I found thein.c
"We were playing hunter," explained
Charles; "we want to stay here all
night so we can shoot a lion In ths
morning.”
But Frank had got over wishing tl
be a hunter. The dog had taken the
hunter spirit out of htm for that
night, and he walked along very meek
ly beside his grandfather, holding very
tight to his hand.
The next morning the sun was some
hours high before either of the boys
opened their eyes, and Frank was glad
to find himself In bed.

mas II was estimated that about $6,-
000.000 was sent by foreigners to
friends and relatives in the old conn
try.
The last report of the New York
Postal Savings Bunk has some Inter
eating facts which bear on the rela
tive thrift of foreigners and Amer
icans, It above that Italian born resi
dents lead immigrants front other
countries by a wide margin, while the |
deposits of foieign horn white persons
lead those of Americans by sixty-three
and two-tenths per cent. In dollars
and cents this means that white per
sons born in this country have in the
government hank only 1466.038, as
compared with 12,146,688 by foreign
er*.
"Of the 12.663.674 on deposit June
30th, last" the report of Edward M.
Morgan postmaster of New York City,
stated, "139.678 was deposited by ne
groes and only $2,036 by Chinese and
Japanese. The average principal per
depositor for native white persons was
$43; of foreign horn whites. $115; for
negroes. s6l. end for all other non
white $65.
Classifying the depositors by sex it
was found that 20,634, or 65.5 per cent
are males and 9,604, or 31.6 per cent
females. By country of birth foreign
born depositors are listed as follows:
Italy, 5.262; Russia, 4.698; Great Brit
ain, 3,149: Austria, 2,358; and Ger
many, 1,076. Depositors from these j
countries numbered 16,548, and com
prise about ninety per cent of the
18,586 foreign bom depositors."
Many of the most successful men
In this country were immigrants com
ing to this land of plenty penniless.
We are told that a million aliens a
year pour Into this country, and It is i
estimated that about one-third of this
number come here for economic reas
ons and return at the end of the a! - \
lotted time with .ne reward of their
labor. About two-thlrda of our lm- i

rage living expenses do not exceed
fifteen dollar* a month, and with som.
Immigrants it is much lower. On ac
count of their lower standards of liv
ing they do not suffer partlcularlv
in this process of saving, which to an
American would be a very question
