Re Foe oc ; - } men held J . 23 Freey The practice of naming negro slaves and grog shops for George Washing ton brought a vigorous protest from the Missouri Intelligencer of Old Franklin a quarter of a century afte the death of the “Father of His Coun- try.” This was the first newspaper In the United States published west of St. Charles, Mo. In the issue of April 29, 1823, the Intelligencer reg- istered this editorial protest against the promiscuous use of Washington's wame: “This is the Christian name of one- eighth of the masculine inhabitants of the United States. This name was dear to every American when it con- veyed the idea of the father of free- men, but now it serves no other pur- pose than that of distinguishing one part of mankind from the other. It i8 universally made a very pack- horse. Every stupid blockhead thinks it the greatest tribute of respect he can possibly pay to the memory of the hero to call a son, a negro or a grog shop by the same name. It is a practice scandalously common for publicans to paint the likeness of the hero on a board, hang it on a post by way of a sign, hold it up to the vul- gar to gaze at as boys gaze at a monkey, and to beguile silly travelers to become their guests, who judge of what is in the house by the sign. What has the father of liberty done that his name should thus be con- signed to infamy and his likeness te contempt?’ History’s Long List of Great “Southpaws” Cheer up, all ye southpaws. A del- ver into obscure matters of history has unearthed something that should please each and every one of you. It is really something to give you reasen to put on airs of superiority. Are you not pleased to learn that Alexander the Great used his sword with his left hand? Charlemagne, the patron of scholars, used his pen with his left hand, if he did any writing at all. Also the Pharaohs were left-handed and 80 were the greater Caesars. In the period between 2500 B. C. and 15 B. C. a left-handed man was considered “the darling of the gods” and was rushed into high office. Yet, the left-handed have had to suffer under instructors who tried to make them change a physical habit. Even some educa- tionalists claim that left-handed pupils fall far below the average level of pchool efficiency. In fact, the left- handed have been jeered at probably everywhere except on the basebal’ field.—Pathfinder Magazine. Old Monarchical Idea The name “Divine Right of Kings” Is given to a doctrine that was pro- mulgated in ‘England in the Seven: | teenth century. It asserted that kings held their authority by divine appointment and were earthly repre- sentatives of the Deity. This princi- ple relieved the sovereign of all re- sponsibility toward his subjects, and gave him absolute claim to their obe- dience. The chief defenders of this dogma were Salmasius, Hobbes and Sir Robert Filmer; while Milton, Al- gernon Sydney and Harrington were its uncompromising opponents. The controversy dled a natural death on the accession of the House of Han- over. In the Bill of Rights (1689) the right of the people to depose the sov- ereign, to alter the order of succes- sion, and to confer the sovereignty on whomsoever they may think prop- er is distinctly . set forth.—Kansas Ofty Star. Initiative Wins - When initiative is absent, we be come mechanical beings with no keen- ness for advancement; and if all were afflicted that way the world would cease to progress; for we are here today just because men of initiative have acted in the past. So it is well to be buoyant and brisk to take an- other step which will bring a benefit both to ourselves awd others. There are thousands of things in life that are ours if we will but claim them; but we have failed because we have never heard their call, or thought the call was to someone else and not to us. We need to arouse ourselves and go in and possess, oth- erwise we shall be left behind.—Ex- change. Craw in a Tattie Field - There was recently appointed to a country parish church a young min- ister who, although a clever chap, is very much attracted to his “paper” during his sermon. This failing of his does not fina favor with a few of his congregation, and the other Sunday, as a few of them were going home from church, one of them, the village schoolmaster, remarked: “That was a very scholar- ly address we got today from the min- ister. Don’t you think so, Mr. Blunt?” “Humph !” replied Mr. Blunt, a plain old farmer. “He jist minded me 0’ a craw in a tattle field; twa dabs an’ a look up I"—Toronto Globe, Crops North of “53” Wheat, oats and similar grain have peen found to ripen satisfactorily in that part of Canada north of the fifty- third parallel. Four varieties of wheat have been tried, some ripening in nine- ty-eight days. The yields varied twenty-three to forty bushels, depend: ing on the variety, and from fifty-four to seventy-three bushels of oats to the acre were obtained, depending also on the variety planted. The experiment i8 considered important for Canadian development.
