TO LOOK AFTER THE REVENUE. ‘The revelation of corruption in the New York custom house has led the secretary of the treasury to suspect that milMons are annually lost to the government through the dodging of internal revenue taxes and a searching investigation, it is said, will soon de made into every department, It is observed that unusual opportuniti exist for wiolations in the collection of dues upon tobacco, spirits and oleo- margarine. Forty agents and about 3,000 collsctors, inspectors and gaugers constitute the force which must see to the payments of taxes and the pur- chase of stamps and license. There is hardly & town of more than a thou- sand or two of population in which cigars are not manufactured. The hundreds upon hundreds of saloons in each of the states In which a pro- hibitory law does not exist cannot all be watched keenly, The tax of $1.10 a gellon on whiskey offers a strong temptation to the unscrupulous among distillers. The making of “moonshine” whiskey in the southern mountains goes on in spite of constant ralding. In the last fiscal year, about 92,000,000 pounds of oleomargarine was manu- factured, only 6,000,000 pounds, ae- \eording to the secretary of the treas- ury paying the tax of 10 cents. Un- t11 1902, sbout $2,500,000 was collected upon oleomargarine. With the pas- sage of the new law the revenue fell to $260,000 annually. It will not do any harm to look sharply after these details. The op- portunity for dishonesty is doubtless great and it would not be surprising if it was being made the most of some-~ where. WHOLESOME SHOPPING ADVICE. Bdith Kendall of the Consumers’ league, New York, has performed a real benefit to mankind by reducing the huge mass of Christmas edvice to seven very short paragraphs: “Buy early—early in the season and early in the day. 2 “Send packages two weeks before Christmas, marked, ‘Not to be opened till Christmas.' “Aim to minister to real needs, Give chiefly to children. Make it their day. “Buy mothing you cannot afford. “Choose articles showing artistic merit or having intrinsic value. “Demand things which have been made and sold under conditions whole- some to the worker. “Apo 11, remember that Christmas is of sweet and noble memory and not an occasion appropriate to vulgar display.” It is, of course, everyone's privilege to shop as they see fit. Dictation is not- pleasant—unsolicited advice is not welcome, but good sense with the label plainly to be seen on its face ought to be worthy just a little considera- tion. The one emphatic point is “To take pains to see that things you buy have been made and sold under con- ditions wholesome to the worker,” for that is protection and. promotion—it protects the buyer and advances to a degree civilization. THE CHURCH BOYS' CLUB. Any movement that keeps alive the best activities of the hoy produces in the end the most desirable citizen, A national organization to rescue the boys from dullness and bad company has its headquarters at New Haven, and it Is asking every church in the country, “How would you like to have a boys' club in your ehurch?” This is what its published circular has to say on the subject: “Most every one of you boys goes to some church or Sunday school, and some of your friends have got together mome of the best of good things to give you a good time in & lot of ways. It is mostly for bovs who are in ehurch or Sunday school, who, ag these friends think, ought to have a little more life and things which boys like and some- t!mes do not get in the church, and so they go looking for them outside. These people think the chureh, with its niee buildings and all that, and Jots of good people, is the very place for the boy, and that if he can have the things a real hoy likes and ought to have, he will stay by and help out, and in every way have a better time than he will if mixed up with things outside, and some of them, too, not the least bit good for him. So this plan of giving these good things to the real live boy has heen fixed up, and 1 is called the Church Boys’ club. It I8 for the poys of any church in the big city or little village, the big church or the lttle church. ‘If the boy who does not go to Sunday school or church wants to come into the club, in most cases he can, and he will, not be bothered by being coaxed and teas- ed to come Into the church or Sunday achool. He can go to church and Sun- day school if he wants to, but he can be In the club and not go if he feels that way. . “Thls is not & big ‘hurrah’ sort of & club, It is just a few hoys meeting once a week in a little cosy room of the church with one or two older friends of their own sort as leaders. They have a good time, games, books of their own, music, a ‘spread’ now and then, and besides this they find out a lot about some things that in one way or another aré as much fun as the games, and help them to be of some use in the world when they are older, as well as tq cut out a lot of ‘kill-fun’ things." Communication with The Friend of Boys, 69 Church street, New Haven, will bring the information how this work s successfully conducted. The western woman who saved her pennies for fourteen ‘years tdo pruocure money to get a divorce with, was res- olite In her purpose; and it is not strange she succeeded. —_——— The Toledo Blade observes that if Mr. Hearst is not going to return to the democratic party he might knock three times and push his money under the door. It we could see ourselves as others see us we should be likely to think that we were looking at a distorgion instead of the real thing.

The 00:-:0!.3.0« Farmer prints the ex- Baldwin apples valued at $2,100, and reaped four other good crops from the same land, and he has 98 other acres on the same farm he bought cheap many years ago. A member of the New York New Jersey livestock exchange, looking over New York state for the New York Journal of Commerce, remarked: “There are 25,000 derelict farms in New York state alone. Now, say, as an example, you could keep a carload of twenty head of cattle on each farm so0 as to show a profit of $10 aplece and you would add $5,000,000 to the wealth of the state.” The provisions of a reliable mar- ket for the farmer’s supplies will draw his attention to the subject. The breaking up of the great ranches of the west will open to the farmers an opportunity as meat-r: s which will redound to'their great advantage when they embrace it. The main elements in the problem, viewed from an eco- nomic standpoint, were recited by the authority above referred to as fellows: “It is not necessary nowadays to convert arable land into wide ranges of pasture for the rearing of cattle that are meant for conversion into meat. Proper forage ean be grown by the intensification of the soll, and by the yse of such natural feed as alfalfa, or by the mixture of molasses with corn and hay, oil and cottonseed cake and the like. “Of course the question of suftabil- ity of lands and seils for the growth of special meat-producing fodder is one to be ecarefully considered, but it can be solved by the tests of experimental stations conducted by agricultural col- leges, whose proper province it is to undertake such investigations. ‘“The husbanding of livestock is generally found to be one of the best attraetions for the emigrant who him- self comes from the land. To tend live animals is naturally more or less a congenial work for the countrymen, and even from congested centers of city life men can be drawn more read- ily to follow such an occupation than to other forms of labor. They will adopt this means of a livelihood in- stinetively where they would hesitate to go into mining and similar occupa- tions or even into laborious farm field work. There is never a question of getting sufficlent labor for the live- stock industry.” HIGH FINANCE. The millions accumulated by the late E. H. Harriman, who, at his death, was comparatively a young man, ecall attention to the fact that high finance appears to he another name for high- Jinks. That he could not have hon- estly earned $149,000,000 in less than thirty years does not have to be ar- gued—the averment is apparent upon fts face.

The authorization bg the directors of the New Haven road of the double- tracking of the line between Shaelton and Hawleyville—stations on the route from New Haven to Poughkeepsie— points to the growing traffic via the Poughkeepsie bridge, the most impor- tant gateway to New England north of New York city. When Mr, McLeod wag president of the Boston and Maine, New England and Reading roads he ran trains from Boston by way of the bridge to Philadelphia. “T was nearly twenty years ago,” says the Hartford Tim ““McLeod was ‘ehead of his time'—that was all. deal of New England traffic must ul mately find its way southward the Poughkeepsie bridge, and the New England rallway system of the future ought to have its own route into Phil- adelphia, as McLeod planned.” The route lron} New Haven to Poughkeep. gie, it will be noticed, is a newly de- veioped one, and emphasizes the im- portance of the bridge connection be- tween New England and the middle states.—Providence Journal. who at tim rited were they.

Some light was cast upon Mr. Harriman's methods at the time of his quarrel with S$tuyvesant Fish.
