It. Smalley divides the great region
all M irrigation into two parts.
The first he calls the subarid belt—that
is} tract which occasionally produws
good crops without irrigation, but in no
cgocsnbedepended on to dose. Ton
part of this tract in western Kansas and
elsewhere rascally land speculators lured
hands of farmers to their ruin 20
ml ago. The subarid belt ”extends
M the two Dakotas, . Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Indian Territory and
. Texas. ” The subarid region will never
be suitable land to raise big crops on,
but it will be valuable for posturing
looks lndherds. Small fieldscanbecnl-

[hat Terrible American Voice Again.
Is the American voice very bad? It is
indeed, Mr. Fletcher Osgood tells us in
The Forum. He declares that the voices
of a majority of the American women
and girls are “weak, stridulous, husky.
flaccid, funereal, silly and constricted."
As if all this were not enough, there is
likewise a “quacky” quality in these
same ladies’ voices. “It is a hateful
tone—mean and pinched, opposed in its
very essence to all that is genomes and
winning. ” Moreover, it is at once whiny
and ungentlo, two qualities which Mr.
Osgood’s readers will find some difil-
eulty in reconciling, though he seems to
find none.
Last, but not least, there is a “silly
twist" in the speech of American wom-
an which comes from overemphasis,
emphasis in the wrong place and the
misused circumflex inflection.
While he is thus hard on his sisters
Mr. Osgood by no means lets his breth-
ren off. They are nearly as bad, if pos-
sible. There is the f'tobmeo crook,"
habitual to users of the weed, who try
to talk with their jaws full of plug cut.
While the American female's voice is
rickety and clickcty with the “silly
twist" that comes from the too' great
and artificial use of the circumflex ins
ficction, “the commonplace speech of
the typical American male is too often
soulless with monotone. ” Worst of all.
the highly educated American men and
women are as bad sinners as the crude
and ignorant in respect to uncultured
and unpleasant voices. What are we go-
ing to do about it? Mr. Fletcher Osgood
does not tell us. Must We, then, go on
till domnsdny with our tobacco crook
and our silly twist?
ls Society Like This?
If society is like what Olive Harper
paints it in llcl‘ new hunk—“What Do
You Think?”-then people who are too
busy to know what it's like will be very
glad they are not in it. Olive appears
to have been growing hotter and hotter
with wrath against the usage-s and ideas
of fashionable life till at last she has
boiled over in this book. She probably
feels better after it, and society—well,
society won't care a whit, but will go
on exactly as it did bolero. For one
thing, Mrs. Harper tells us that many
girls marry merely because they wish
to be brides, dressed all in gauzy white,
with a long veil, and have a great fuss
and parade made over them. We are
also told that a certain rich man's wife.

fer, knits bubies' sucks on the sly and
sells them to get a dollar or two spend-
ing money of her own.
The following is simply frightful:
“The women who go to horse shows go
to show themselves in stunning new
gowns, to talk horse with horsy men,
to envy one another and to see the ones
they love best. And these are not al-
ways thc cum they should love best. "
”Tin-re is in) house without its skele-
touJiiddcn away more or less successful-
ly," (ilivo says. This sweeping charge
may be true of “moiety.” but it is cer-
tainly not true of the happy homes all
over the country where the members of
families are honest and true to one an-
other nnd to all men and are glad they
are alive. There are thousands of homes
of common people where no shadow
darkens the domestic altar. <
Anew way of making a living has been
found. It is true some risk is involved
in it. but then one must takorisks. The
companies that sell {silent fenders for

men and lmys to Jump in front of s car

Anew theoryhas been advanced on
the everlasting topic of whether Shaka
spears or‘Bacon wrote the immortal
plays. That theory is that both these
two great men did it. '
0n the whole, this idea seems not odly
plausible. but reasonable. On any other
theory short of inspiration. the writing
of these plays does not moot-d with the
known facts of Shakespeare’s life. He
had no great education, had not trav-
holed much and had had no exceptional
advantages. A great natural genius
might have astounded the'world with
poetry or musical composition or dru-
matic thought. But Shakespeare's plays.
show on every page that a man of the
widest looming and one acquainted wi
the profouadost philosophical and sci ‘
title doctrines of his time must have
been engaged in the construction of
them. Shakespeare, in the three or four
instances where his signature isyverified
beyond doubt, spelled his name “Shak-
spcre" and wrote it, moreover, like an
illiterate man.
The new theory is that Bamn wrote
the plays in the main, but that Shake-
speare adapted them to stage uses and
furnished perhaps the lighter parts.
His glory is none the less. however, for
without him Bacon’s plays could not
have been played
An organization that is quietly sc-
complishing much good is the American
Association For the Advancement of
Physical Education. This subject of giv-
ing a thorough physical training to all
that part of the American nation that
attends school is one certainly of equal
importance with the tariif question. No
worthier purpow than that of fixinga
uniform system of gymnastics which
will work the herd results could oc~
cupy the attention of educators. That
the educators of highest standing are
of this opinion is proved by the large
number of them who are active work-
ers in the Assrxziation For the Ad-
vancement of Physical Culture. Some
of these teachers are Professor L. W.
Seaver of Yale, Dr. Edward Hitch-
cock of Amherst, Professersam
Harvard, Professor Richard T. Ely of
the University of Wisconsin, President
Robert Fulton of the University of Mis-
sissippi and President Egbert. B. Smyth
of Andover. What the American people
want is to be healthier and handsomer,
and if this rmsoelatiun can help them in
that respect then may it live and prosper
forever.
It is to be cxpcctm that artery of the
negrms who thrraicuml to leave South
Carolina and settle elsewhere when the
registration clause was pronouncml con-
stitutionnl will really do so. One infin~
cntial colored preacher says that the do-
cisipu leaves a state's right to limit suf-
frage practically nnrcstrictul Ho fears
the next mtitutionai convention will
take away the ncgrucs’ share of the
school fund and put the poll tax so high
that every black man in the state will
be practically disfranchised. He there-
fore advises Carolina negrocs to migrate
to other southern states. Rev. Mr. Chap-
pell, chairman of the Colored Ministerial
union, will go to Petalsylvania.
This nation will waver become un-
wieldy and fall to pieces of its own
weight if intense love of country is fos-
tered generation after generation among
the school children. New more than
ever it is the duty of teachers and par-
ents to inculcate in all ways a pure and
whole country among those children
who are so fortunate as to be born citi-
zens of it. If a deep rmdrnmsionnte love
of country is cherished among an al-
ways. tlmn this happy republic will
stand forever.
It is no sin to be either very rich of
exceptionally gifted. But it is a sin
when the [assessor uses these superior
advantages for his own selfish ends
alone. Superior advantages mean only
greater obligations. '
It is the person who keeps on walk-
ing that gets there.
