WHERE TO SECURE INDEPEND
ENCE?
We always hate to see a political
squabble. We hale to afa a pair of
men figuring for the office of gov
ernor or aenator, like a pa r of game
cocks.
The worat feature about theeo
chea|i rough-house ftatlruffa la that,
If they did not please the audience,
they would not occur. 8o It all come,
hack on the public and It all allow*

electorate i*.
Pretty toor, eh? Well, let s not
euah to a conclusion. Had aa aonte
thing* are. otoera are worse We
don’t Ilk® to acn unpleasant and un
dignified flghta. hut, better thla aort
of thing than well-bred corruption
going on In hidden placea and fester
ing until the whole social body la
polaoned and dene ascii.
We are talkiuK, of course, about the
row over tbo Judgeship, now hold by
Judgo Hammond At first blush, one
would say: ''Here It la! Here Is the
evil of putting »uch matter* aa tna
choice of a Judge before the public.
Her* 1* what cornea of Baking the
luau ou the farm and the man on tha
•treat to Judge or a Judge." Certain
ly the system lack* perfection and
dignity, but what of the others? It
la dignified and seemly enough to
let the governor appoint the Judges,
but tost system builds up political
machinery of a far more dangerous
nature, albeit a far more elegant and
mannerly method of procedure.
The Independence of the Judiciary
la the thing we want. It Is clsiraed
that a Judge cannot he Independent
If he has to go before the people and
eeek their approval and patronage.
We think this Is true enough, but the
problem la to find * way that really
doe* give greater Independence.
The public can Judge Judges Juat
aa Impartially aa those who are work
ing the political game There Is far
leas danger of loaing independence
In an effort to please the public than
In an effort to keep the political
bosses buttered down A Judge should
be free of political strings, but, until
w* devise a means of freeing him of
these stVihgs. it Is better to satisfy
ourselves with the evils of an Indif
ferent system than to return to the
more aggravated evils of a distinctly
l>ad system
It all colfles down to the simple
question of whether a Judge, who Is
appointed by a political boss, or
leader la likely to serve the public
ae Impartially snd aa broadly aa one
who la given hit place by the vote or
the people. It U true that political
rings hav* their potent Influences In
matters that are set before the voting
public, but at the very least, these
Influences are more varying and more
easy to throw off than those which
she fostered by powerful political ma
chinery and are worked without the
Jar and confusion of public Interfer
ence.

THE WAYS OF THRIFT
I Copyright, 1914, American Society

THE USES OF ADVERSITY.
(By Samuel Smiles.)
A man who watt a calico printer at
Manchester, England, was
I by Ilia wife on their wedding day to
allow her two half«plnta of ale a day,
n« her share. Me rather winced at
ihe harga n for. although a drlfrker
himself, ho would hHve preferred a
perfectly sober wife. They both
tvotkel hard; and he, poor man, watt
seldom out of the public-house a*
toon as the factory was closed.
She had her dally pint, and he. per
haps, had hls two or three quarts,
and neither Interfered with the other,
except that, at odd times, she suc
ceeded, by dint of one little artifice
or another to win him homo an hour
or two earlier at night , and now anti
t rn. to spend an entire evening In
bin own house.
They had been married a year, and
on the morning of their wedding an
niversary the husband looked ask
ance ai her neat and comely person
with some shade of remorse as he
said, "Mary, we've had no holiday
since we were wed; and, onlv that 1
have not a penny In the world, we’d
take a Jaunt down to the village to
see thee mother."
“THE CHANGED
AMERICAN
That tlt character of ths Anisrloan
people have changed much In the last
twenty-five jears and la changing
tnrther la beyond dlapute; and wheth
er thia change la or la not due In any
considerable part to immigration I*,
naturally, an open question But eth
r.ologlsta say that the cltlxen of the
United State* In developing physically
Into a different type of man that ha*
heietofore existed, the result showing
very clearli the mingling of different
strain* of blood on a grater scale and
In * more rapid way than has ever
been exhibited before In history. Mor
ally. we are, a* a people, no longer a*
religion* as we used to be; no longer
aa honest, and no longer as frugal.
W* seen) also to be much more emo
tional than formerly, much less gov
erned by conservatism and respect for
governmental and social traditions,
and much leas given to delineation and
reflection, . .
Thla article la not Intended to af
ford material for th* affirmative side
of debate upon the question, "Resolve'" 1
that ancient tjtnea were auperlor to our
own;" but It may be as well, perhaps,
for the American people to ask them -
aelve*. seriously, Just who the men
and women are that are taking the
place, for better or for worae, of the
Poet*, pphiloaophera and historian*
who were writing throughout the cen
tury that began with 1901, and wheth
er today the men and women who are
writing for the press are or are not
better than their predecessors. Going
a littl* furthsr let us ask who are the
men nowadays, and what Is their
character, who are the leader* of
thought. Ihe source* of national In
spiration In our country, and how do
the> compare with those who have
latelv gone to their last sleep? Who
are those who are stirring the heart*
of our young men with romantic en
thusiasm and visions of liberty and of
the Ideal beaut? Who are those who
are thinking for us and dreaming for
us as of yore, and leading u* to com
merce with the skies" Or are fe to
be told that enthusiasm, poetic vision,
and commerce with the skies are no
longer essential to the enduring life of
a great nation, and that it ta not true
now, as It once was that th* thing*
that ar* eternal are th* things that
are unseen"—Daniel F Kellogg, In
The North American Review.

"Wouldst like to go, John?" said
she, softly, between a smile and a
teir; so glad to hear him speak
kindly ~ao lik d old times. "If thee’d
like to go, John, I’ll stand treat."
"Thou stand treat," said he with
a half sneer. "Hast thou a fortune,
wench?"
"Nay," said Bhe, “but I’ve gotten
the pint o ale."
''Gotten what?" said he.
"The pint o’ ale!" said she.
John still didn’t understand her til
the faithful creature reached down
an old stocking from under a loose
brick of the chimney and counted
out her dally rint of ale in the shape
of three hundred and sixty-five three
penres, i. e., four pounds, four shil
lings and sixpence, and put them Into
his hand, exclaiming, "Thou shalt
have thee holiday, John!"
John was ashamed, astonished,
clnscience-stricken, charmed and
wouldn't touch it, "Hasn't thee hud
thy share? Then I ha’ no more!" lie
said. He kept hls word. They kept
tt-lrir wedding day with molcer; and
the wife's little capital was the nu
cleus or a series of frugal Invest
ments that ultimately swelled out
Into a snop, s factory, warehouses, a
country seat, carriage and, perhaps,
a Liverpool mayor.
A School Teacher’s Vacation
In the Woman's Home Companion
appear a number of prize-winning let
ters in a vacation contest. The con
test was participated in by business
girls -that is. women who earn their
own living either in business or teach
ing. A school teacher describes, o.a
follows, how she and her daughter,
also a school teacher, took their va
cation :
My daughter Myra and I had just
been released from an eight-weeks'
quarantine. I had lost two months'
salary at school, my daughter had
a like amount, and her health was
still very poor.
“The doctor, too, had ordered coun
try air and country fare, and w® were
broke.’ As I was reviewing the situa
tion with a friend, he said: Til tell
you what to do. HAying is about to
begin, come out to our ranch and cook
for our crew. My wife \\ants to go on
a visit to her mother, and this will
give her the opportunity; you say you
are a practical domestic science teach
er, show me.’
“That put me on my mettle, and 1
accepted. For nine weeks I cooked
for that crew, breakfast at half past
five. But such luxuries! Hggs, cream
and milk to cook with, an abundance
of fresh vegetables and the finest meat
in the land. And what a Joyous time
M>ra had, horseback riding, swim
ming. walking, hay-riding and helping
me.
“At the end of the nine weeks she
looked like a young Indian and had
not an ache nor a pain, and I, too,
*a* ready for my winter s work,
healthier and happier, with my bill
paid and a small surplus.''
DELIBERATIVE IGNORANCE.
Borne time ago thera was a homicide
case in a western court in which there
was considerable doubt aa to the guift
of the accused The trial Judge seem
ed to share the popular belief.
"Gentlemen of the Jury." said he. in
concluding hie charge, "if the exidence
in your minds shows that penumonla
was the cause of the man's death, you
cannot convict the prisoner."
Whereat the Jury retired and In about
ten minutes the constable returned and
presented himself before the Judg.
"Your honor." h remarked, "the gen
tlemen of the Jury want eome informs- j
lion."
"On what point of evidence? ’ asked
the Judge
"None, Judge. ’ was the rejoinder of
the constable "They want to know how \
to spell 'pneumonia.'" New York j

PETER and the mountain of
GOLD—Part 11.
We will tell you what to do and
help you to do it also," said the little
brown man. "We are the gnoifle3
and w e know wuat to do If you can
do what we ask you will help us, and
at the same time you will he paid
for what you do by having the finest
farm anywhere around, for back of
the old giant cave is a beautiful gar
den filled with vegetables that grow
larger than any in this part or tlie
country.”
As the Gnome spoke he clapped his
hands and the side of the mountain
opened, for they were Inside it, you
remenjber. and Peter saw the larg
est horse he had ever seen, saddled
and waiting
“Get on," said the Gnome, who did
all the talking. Peter did as he was
told As quick as a flash all the lit
tle men sprang up aster him. They
perched on the head of the horse and
clung to his name and hung to his
legs; in fact, Peter could not see the
horse at all. The little men were as
thick as Tiles.
Away flew the horse, for he did
not walk as Peter soon discovered,
and looU ng down he saw a tiny pair
of wings on each of its feet.
They landed on the top of a moun
tain an I the Gnome told P#ter to
dismount. "You must go to that
cav- you see just below," auid the
Gnome, |and there you will find the
plant. You must find some way to
get his boots.”
Peter ran down mountain to
the door to the rave without thinking
what he should do when he got
there
""hat it that I fioar?" said a voice
which sounded to Peter like thun
der.
"Please sir. I want a drink of
water," said Peter, not knowing what
else to *ay
"Where did you come from?" asked
the giant.
"I cams up the mountain to see
you. said Peter'
"Well, what do you think of me.
now you have seen me?" asked the
giant.
"I think you are the biggest ma* 1
ever saw. and I did not think any
one could grow to be so large. 'I
wish I coufd grow to be at big as
you are.”
"Don you— asked the glanL -Well,
that gives me an idea. Come in
here." The giant led th# way into
his cave, which was the whole inside
of the mountain, and so high that
Peter could not see the top
The giant went to a kettle thai
wna hung over a fire and put some
herb* Into It Then he stirred and
atlrred and then he poured it Into a
cup that was so large that Peter had
to set it on the floor and climb up
on the side to drink out oT it.
"That is enough for now." said the
giant "After a while you can take
acme more"
Peter felt h tnself growing tall and
the giant told him to take a second
drink.
“Now we will wait a while,” said
th egiant. “This will make' you naif
as large as 1 am and the third drink
will be as large as I want you to grow
but I will go to sleep while vou are
growing and you cadi do the same "
But Peter did not sleep. He kept
awake and as soon as the giant
snored he took another drink xrom
the cup. This made him almost as
large as the giant.
Peter went to the kettle. He was
so big now he could reach it easily,
and tais time he took a good big
drink. By the time he had finished
he was as big again as the giant,
and Peter say a way to get the
boots.
Ha awoke the sleeping giant, who
bat up, rubbed his eye 3 and looked at
Peter first with astonishment and
then with fear.
“Take off your boots," said Peter.
And the giant obeyed. Peter put
them outside' trie door of the cave.
Then he thought oi something. He
did not want to be as large as he
was all the time, so he astted the
giant, who sat trembling on the floor
how- ho could become small again,
the giant. "This will make you half
The giant told him in a aurry, for
he thought he could get his boots
back when Peter was small again.
He ran to his cupboard and took
from a jug and poured some liquid
into a bowl.
"Drink this," he said, holding it
toward Peter.
"No," said Peter, "you drink first.”
The giant began to tremble and
step away irom Peter. But Peter
followed aim and told hint to driuk.
He looked so big and strong tue
frightened giant obeyed, and Peter,
as he watched him gi ow small, uiau i
him dr nk and dnuit until at last i~-
was smaller tnan Peter nad been.
"Diink more," said Peter, as the
giant—or what had been the giau 4
stopped drinking. He took one mo.o
swallow and gave a quter scream,
and Peter saw running through the
doorway of tne cate a rabbit, wiiich
soon was lost to sight in the bushes.
Then Peter drank some oi me liquid
irom thy jug, but he stopped wn®n
he was tlie size of a man, for he
thought ne could get on belter ,n the
world it ne did not have to wait to
grow up.
He went to the door of the cave to !
get the boots, but all he found were
two stones. W'hfle he Stood there
wondeiing wTiat had become of the
boots he saw the little brovzf men
running toward him.
“Bravo, bravo," they cried, gather
ing around him. "Don't worry about
tiie boots They will remain stones
and never trample gardens again.
And now looa around your farm."
Peter looked and where he had seen
only a mountain before be now saw
a b ( g garden filled with growing
vegetables.
