Him self, who suggested going out in the highways and hedges to compel en to co mo in to tho feast. And why shouldn't the church do It if it finds Its powa deserted, In summer even moro than winter? Dr. Van Dyke said that his first visit to the Holy Land suggested to him tho fact that Christianity was essentially an out-of-doors religion; that from tho birth in tho grotto at Bethlehem, to tho Culvary hill outside of Jeru salem, nearly all tho principal events in tho llfo of Christ woro enacted out-of-doors and most of His groat utter ances, Including the sermon on tho mount, were made out-of-doors. Tho analogy between that and an out-of- door religion today seems striking.

An Ohio periodical revives the ag itation for modern comforts and con veniences for farm women equalto thoso for tho men, saying: Any farm that can afford a silo can afford electric light or gas, the vacuum cleaner, the dlshwnaher and the washing machine. Any farm that can afford a gas engine can afford a bath, room. Any farm that can afford a hayfork In the barn can afford running water In tho kitchen. Of courso, many up-to-date farms havo all, or most, of theso conveni ences, but too many have not Their introduction into tho farm woman's, llfo might affect tho happiness and contentment, not only of tho women, but of tho young folkB, to Buch a de gree nn to give a now potency to tho otfort of keeping young men and womon on the old homesteads, thou sands of whom loave for no othor reason than that they are there de prived of tho attractive features of llfo avallablo In the city. Human nature is vory much alike in tho city and tho country, and spite of all tho material advantages offered am bltous youth on the farm, the desire for tho modorn llfo is overweening and must bo mot, if a wholesome equilibrium- is maintained, by tho force' of competition.

Evidently aroused at the spectacle of empty harbors and depleted ocean trade, California Is proceeding through its legislature to Establish a merchant marine of Its own, subsi dizing ships ongaged In domestic and Uplifting the Profession of Surgery. The nowly projected American College of Surgery, organized here locally, sets for ltsolf a laudable goal in Its avowed purpose of "promoting higher grado of surgery in Amer ica." So far as foo-eplltting and othor professional abuses are con cerned, it is really up to tho courage ous members of tho profession to see that its ethical standards aro main-. talnod. All theso pernicious prac tices can bo abolished whenever tho surgeons and physicians sincerely unite to abolish them, though, of course, thoy may be holped or hin dered by legislation. The Bee's opposition to the fee- splitting system, which is much like peddling tho patient to tho highest blddor, is too well known to need reaffirmation, but the occasion calls for encouragement to any honest ef fort on tho part of the profession to k6op put of the clutch of commercial ism Only It the nowly launched American College of Surgory stands tfrue to Its ideals, and pursues them with aggresslvo zeal, will It achieve and deserve pormanency nnd success. Personality. Most folks nppreclate the relation of personality to success usually potent In every individual triumph. How common tho expression, "Ho in a good business man, but falls for want of a forcoful personality," or "Ho Is neither brainy nor shrewd, but has an Irresistible personality." In business and professional life this power often becomes doclslvo, whllo In politics the Rlno qua non of success. How many modlocro men achieve marked distinction, especially In politics, entirely as a result of their pleasing and attractive personality. -Buf what Is this distinguishing quality, doesn't It bolong to all allko? Not all, alike, no. Webster thus de fines it; Personality-quality or state of being personal, or of being a person and not a thing or abstraction; that which makes a being a person. A most significant definition.. You aro introduced to two mon, one of whom you nover forget, though you never Bee him again, the other you nover recall, though meeting him frequently. One Is a person, the other being or abstraction, and It may do mat mo lattor in point of In tellectual power utterly discounts tho former, but fallB for lack 'of ability successfully to interpret his Buperlor Attainments In the current terms of life. This quality should be subject to cultivation, not regarded as an . ex clusive heritage of nature. Anyone with sufficient candor to admit tho need of self-improvement and tho power to appreciate tho value of per sonality should bo able to cultivate It. "Keeping Tab on Them." Our democratic election commis sioner, dcsplto the decision of Judge Englloh pulling tho foundation from under his czar-lika pretensions, still Insists on demanding from foreign born cltlzons technical proofs of naturalization so that he can "keep tab on them." It strikes us that this Is Just as much of an insult to our foreign born citizens as was his original' re quirement of tho production of thef actual naturalization papers for his ocular inspection. , Why should It be necessary to 'keep tab" on foreign-born citizens any more than on native-born citi zens? Why should a person be pointed to with tho finger of suspicion, and his statements made under oath questioned, merely because his parents happened to live in some othor country at tho tlmo of his birth? This anti-foreign prejudlco it has prompted a subordinate of lhe election commissioner to boast that they would "shut out" at least B.OOO votors sooma to porvade tho whole ntmosphero of tho office, and we suggest in all kindness that that officer get rid of it and mend his ways at once. Let him give evory votor a square deal, and lot him stop discriminating against the foreign born citizen as compared with tho native-born. Lot him remember that he Is acting moroly as super visor of registration, and that it is not his duty to "keep tab" on any one unless ho" has evidence of fraud, and 'that ovon then ho Is not the prosecuting officer.

Cincinnati Enquirer.

Tho state and county might share tho ex pense, but that Is a mere matter of detail. Such a plan should commend Itself wherever forests are subject to tho ravagos of fire. Something of tho tort is done in certain countries of Europe, whero valuable and scenic forests are not devastated as In America.
