In view of the number and the grav
ity of American military accidents,
the question of legal or moral respon
sibility for them assumes a serious,
practical character. A point of law
raised the other day In a Philadelphia
court bears directly on this question.
Aa engineer In the employ of the
Pennsylvania Railroad was on trial
for manslaughter. The case Involved
the usual mixture f issues of fact
and of law, but It Anally resolved
Itself Into tho quastloa of the crim
inal -or excusable negligence f (fee en
gineer and conductor In charge of a
freight train which collided with n
passenger train. Tha testimony dla
closed that the freight trala had beea
ordered to wait on a siding until four
trains should pass. The crow ha
been on duty for twenty-four hours,
and while waiting for the other trains
to pass had fallen asleep from weari
ness and physical exhaustion. Before
the fourth trala had passed tho men
awoke and, thinking that the road was
clear, took their own train from tho
'siding. A wreck resulted from this
fatal mistake and several passengers
wero killed. On tills evidence coun
sel for the engineer askod tho court to
rule that when a railroad employy
falls asleep from weakness or weari
ness due directly to unreasonably long
hours of steady employment tho long
hours being exacted by the company
-and an accident occurs, the employu
Is uot Liable for tho unfortunate eon-
Boqucncei of tne unavoidable negli
gence. The court refused to mako this
ruling. No man, said tho Judge, had
the right to work on a railroad whon
not In good physical condition, niwi
when too weary or exhausted t do his
full duty he should discontinue work;
even at the risk of losing his position
through disobcdloaoe of orders. But
what about the moral aspect of the
question? Taking men and conditions
as they are, now many will violate
orders and diicuntlnue work, at the
risk of losing their livelihood. In tho
Interest of public safety? The moral
responsibility in cases like that tried
before the Philadelphia court is on the
railway companies, and it behooves
them to ponder the question with ear
nest and anxious solicitude.
TRAVELS OF PRAIRIE CHICKENS.
How tho Birds llave Adapted Thesa
solves to Cumlitloua.
An Bmporia man advances the the
ory that prairlo chickens are so scarce
about Emporia now becuuso they ml
grate west every spring to hatch their
young. This spertBiwin was out try
lng to find aoao tho other day and
failed, although he went clear to tho
Flint hills.
AH tho farmers along the way told
the same story. Bach said thero was
a Dig bunch or endekens oa nis farm
until spring and they then disappear
ed. Tho farmers theugiht it was some
thing strange that the chickens should
go wost to hatria their young, and are
looking for chiokeaa to conio back next
winter.
As a matter of fact, prairie oklck-
ens aro not among the migratory birds,
but tho chickens la this part of the
country seem to be adapting them
selves to conditio. This country is
bolng settled up closely and put su
dor the plough, md the birds want
wlldor territory where their young will
ho safer than In a woa settled locality,
Then in tho winter tho birds coma
buck to the cultivated country because
there la plenty of food in tho fields.
Last year the attention of sportsmen
was attractod by groat locks of chick-
caa that came in from tho northwest
in tho duck season. It was the lira!
time thy ever saw chickens migrat
ing. A flock was sees near Amcrlcui
which was said to have had 400 chick
ens in It Last winter thero wero o
number of flocks of chickens wlthla
four inilos of town, which was an an
usual thing. Tie birds wero supposed
to have come in from western Kan
sas to got tho benefit of tho plentiful
supply of kafilr corn, which tho chick
ons relish. Emporia Gazette.

Now is a good time to rememboi
that there are rival nations as well ai
rival political parties. Few are inlsi
led by the statements made by poll,
tlclnns in the heat of a campaign; bu(
ono docs not always remember that:
tho rival nations are engaged all tiiq
time in n campaign for advantage, and
that their politicians are continually1,
socking to Influence public opinion in
the community of nations. If one weni
always well Informed nbout the nu
tlonul rivalries one would not be uile
lod by the foreign despatches la the
newspapers. Doubtless much of tho
present unpopularity of RuhsIu Is duo
to the fact that for years the greater
part of the "news" about the emplrd
has been written In countries or by!
men politically hostile. The Russian
government is ft ware of this, and last!
year expelled from St. Petersburg the
correspondent of a London paper on
the ground that he was doing his best
to stir up trouble. The charge was
well founded, even though the punish
ment was not one which would havo
been inflicted in America. The great
parties In world politics Just now are
British and Russian. The Japanese,
In attacking the Russians, have th
sympathy of the British, their allies.
France sympathlres with Russia, its
ally, and Germany, through Its em
peror, is anxious to bo on the winning
side. If the foreign news in the dally
papers Is read in tho light ef these
facts much ralsapprehenslea will be
avoided.
A great deal Is said nowadays about
tho education of the boy on the street
or la the scheeL Tha best thought of
educations is given to the boy. In the
day schools and in tho night schools the
boy receives more than his share ol
attention, in the belief that tho mak-
lng of the man depends largely upon
the school. Walter L, Ilervey In the
Chautauquan, dissents from thin view.
Ho says: "Iloine is par excellence a
unifying force in the Ufa of a boy.
Homo is his point of departure, his
point ef return, his headquarters."
He estimates that out of tho Urst fif
teen years of a boy's Ufo flvo are usu
ally spent wholly at homo. Out of
8,700 hours In a year 7,700 are, as a
rule, spent by children under tho care
and guidance of homo. That Is to say,
7,700 hours are spent at home and
1,000 hours in school. Therefore, he
contends, wo are In danger of belit
tling tho home as nn educatlonul In
stitution, it Is a common saying that
thousand ef homes exert bo educa
tional influence upon children, or that
If they do exert any lnfluenco, it is in
jurious rather than beneficial, and,
therefore, even more attention should
be given to the schools. To these
schools, It is assumed, the children of
ignorant parents will come and then
carry back an educational Influence to
the home. There Is undoubtedly a
measure of truth In this, und because
there is a measure of truth In the
theory, our public schools are of great
beneUt But there Is another side to
the question which Mr. Hervey pre
sents as a principle In our educational
system. The first duty of the parents,
however poor or Ignorant they may
be, is te make a home for the chil
dren, a home whero the boy will have
his own corner, if not his own home;
where he will grow up with a local
center necessary to his normal devel
opment as a boy. Mr. Hervey admits
that it may not be possible to provide
such a home among those who flit
from flat to flat or from cottage to
cottage, but he Insists that the ordi
nary home, be It ever so humble, "ac
complishes its ends educationally not
mainly by proachlng, still less by
studying lessons, but simply by giving
old and young a chanco to Uvo and
learn together." In other words, a
home fulfills its destiny us an educa
tional force when It is a home with
home life. Any ono can have such a
home, Mr. Hervey Is right in asauin
ing that home is receiving too llttlo
attention from educators, and that
home as a school is not sufficiently
considered by parents.
Usn of Dynnmito oa Oregon Farms.
At Pendleton, Ore., and on several
farms in the eastern part of the State

break up tho "hard pan" stratum Just

In tho sago brush and alkali regions
this stratum of "hard pan" will not

nor can tree roots and alfalfa roots

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children B
canitc The j Arm Ueultkjr.
Sometimes wilk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing
is true of other articles of food. What
agrees with oae semetimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be so prepared that 11
will agree with the weakest stomach.
As an Illustration anyone, no matter
how weak the stomach, can eat relish
nnd digest a nice hot cup of Poatura
coffee with a spoonful or two of
Grape-Nuts poured in, and such a com
bination contains nourishment to carry
bne a number of hours, fer almost
every particle ef it will be digested
and takes up by the system and be
made use of.
A lady writes from the land of tne
Magnolia and the mockingbird way
down is Alabama, and says: "I was
led to drink Postum because coffee
gave me sour stomach and made me
nervous. Again Postum was reco ta
rn ended by two well-known physicians
for my ehlldren. and I feel especially
grateful .'or the benefit derived.
"Milk doss not ugrco with cither
child, so to the eldest, aged four and
one-half years, I give Postum wita
plenty of sweet cream. It agrees with
her splendidly, regulating her bowels
perfectly, although she is ef a consti
pated habit
"For the youngest agel two and
bnc-half years, I use one-half Pontma
nnd one-half skimmed mlllt. 1 have
hot given nay medicine since the chlU
ilren began using Postum, and thoy
'enjoy every drop of It
. "A neighbor of mine ia givinaj
Postum to her baby lately weaned,
with splendid results. The little fellow
Is thriving famously." Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
Postum agrees perfectly with chil
dren and Bupplles adults with tho hot
Invigorating beverage In place of cof
fee. Literally thousands of Americans
have been helped out of stomach and
nervous diseases by leaving off coffee
nnd using Postum Food Coffee. Look
