Some of the papers which have al- wavs advocatsd the retention of our senstors and congressmen because xnowledge of administration affairs at Washington and experience gave our delegation eminence and the state strength in national affairs, appear to have forgotten the republican policy. it has been regarded as a first class argument by the people and the state has been greatly benefited Dy its hav- ing been honored for the past quarter of & century. Now some of these pa- pers are shouting for McLean es if Senator Bulkeley was not to be held in the same esteem and have extended 2o him the same honors that were ex- tended to his predecessors. ‘These papers might be put to it to explain why they have come to dis- regard this established rule which they have rigidly held to and ably de- fended for so many years. Since Sen- ator Bulksley has given notice that he expects to succeed himself, it looks @s if he was not only within his rights, Dut in the favor of the people as ex- pressed in the senatorial elections for Tears. It is early yet to enter upon such @ campaign in the press. There are no new claims to be made for Senator Bulkeley; he is the same efficlent and able candidate some of these McLean - Sociared him fo b and he has led to him the experience of four years at Washington, with a clean rec- ord to show. It doesn’t look as if he wes in imminent danger of being de- feated. THE ITALIANS IN THE LEAD. As was predicted at the time of the great earthquake horror of Messina, the Italians who were able to look for homes elsewhers did 5o, 70.000 of them coming to this country during the six months in the latter part of 1909, For ar ending December 3, 1909, immigrants arrived in this country. For numbers the Italians were @rst, others coming in the following order: Poles 48,573, Hebrews 45,565, Englieh 25,253, Germans 33,375, Scan- dinavians 19,895, Greeks 17,152; Irish 16,502, Slavs 15,078, French 11,619, Slo- vaks 13,512 The immigrants distrib- uted themselves as follows: From Ju- 1y to October, Inclusive, 50,000 immi- &rants settled In New York state, 39,- €00 in Pennsylvania, 24,000 in Massa- chuetts, 21,000 in Ilinois and 14,000 in New Jersey. The stats showing the least immigration is South Carolina, in which only seventy immigrants set- tled. The reason more do not go south is the labor conditions are not so iting as in other parts of the coun- and the social conditions are much less attractive. THE TARIFF AND PRICES, The present stir over the high prices | of f00d has waked up the antl-tariff | agitators and they are yelling to have many articles produced by American farmers placed upon the free list as if that would make a_difference. The bureau of statistics has glven them a Joit by showing that half the im- ris of mechandise now coxe In Cuty e and it is noticeable that many of these non-dutiable articles are among the high-priced goods of which they complain, All kinds of provender should be £reed from the schemes of capital spec- ulatively combined to corner the mar- ket and to wrest from the people ex3 orbitant profits; and it should be made @ crime for foreign capital or any other <capital to so corner provender in this | land of plenty, that when crops are most aundant food is kept short in the market and prices kept high. When the speculators are held in check the farm- er and the tariff and the people can take care of themselves, It is evident that it would not be fair to make agricultural products free of guty and all manufactured products dutiable. If there is to be a tariff it must be made to protect all, not a @art of the people. Goods which do not compete with goods produced in this country come in duty free now. “The agitation over present conditions compels congress to take up this mat- ter and to deal with it seriously and promptly, but it should do nothing in its haste that is unwise or unfair to any class of people in any part of the country, ~ The cnuse of present high - prices must be discovered: amd if it can be removed it should be, for no combina- tion of citizens should be allowed th: 1 Tt is claimed that the bill before the i York legislature for the reduc- of the saloons in that city to one each 1000 of the inhabitants has tbe backing of the brewers and the Eat surety companies. It is claimed t in the past three years 700 of the Raines law hotels have been denied licenses. The cause of this movement | to cut out 67 1-2 per cemt. of the saloons in Manhattan and the Bronx is thus explained: . afraid of prohibition, and prohibition sentiment is promoted by questionable resorts, Furthermore, the brewing in- dustry requires large capital and ex- tensive financial connections which make it casy to keep the surety com- panies from going on the bond of a blacklisted place. Thus business pru- dence and zood morals go hand in hand, as in the large view of any sit- | uation they generally do, and it is | promised that they shall go still far- ther.” Those who favor the Dill feel sure | that it will become a law in the in- | terests of better conditlons which | means more assurance of tolerance for | ell concerned. | THE CHILD WITH SPECTACLES. Nothing is hazarded in saying that there are more spectacled children in the schools today than ever before, for the scientists declare that our sys- | tem of raising and educating children | is doing injury to the children, that | there is need of more care of children’s | teeth, ears and eyes. They allege that | the human eye is mot perfected until | the child is ten years of age and that | the direct glare of the sun and the straining of the eyes In school do in- jury to it. It is coming to be recog- nized that th® making of primary od- pils study hard is cruelty; and it is being prevented by the authorities. The assoclate director of the depart- ment of hyglene of the Russell Sage foundation has estimated that of the 640,000 children attendinz school in New York, more than 320,000 have sither bad teeth, dad evesight, are not kept in a proper condition of cleanli- ness or have some other physical de- fect. These defects cost the city 52,500,000 & year, because they inter- fere with the normal progress of the scholars in their studies, and thus re- tard other pupils as well. Even from the low financial standpoint it pavs o take care of children’s eyes, teeth and general health. EDITORIAL NOTES. - Even a divorced womean is found now and then telling number two what & comforting star number one was. The public state of mind is such Just now that it would be safe to issue a denial that Mary ever had a little lamb. Everything else is so short herea- Douts just now that the fact is being overlooked that February is a short month. The Toledo Blade calls attention to the fact that Governor Harkell of Ok- lahoma is a man who never has to Torrow trouble. The boys of Chicago snowball the letter carriers so persistently that they have to appeal to parents to forbid this kind of sport.

When we depend upon our expecta- tions for pleasure we get disappointed. The approving conscience is the only old reliable for continuous joy. Nobody is denied counsel in the Bal- linger investigation case. The same rule should have applied to the sub- marine inquiry, but it did not. The cold-storage revelations are all right. Intelligent people can govern themselves accordingly. Buying food is not compulsory in that direction. ‘The American Express company has swallowed up the Well-Fargo company, which shows that there is nothing the matter with its swallowing capacity. Happy thought for today: The per- son who cultivates truth-speaking in all the ways of life, discovers more lions in the path than the more dis- creet. There is no denying that the comet A1910 plays the part of an astronomi- cal freak. As soon as it is observed from earth it turns tail and disap- ‘pears. Moving pictures under school man- agement would be educational; but under the average sensational manage- ment they are a fright, and something worse. Faunal Science After Teading the thrilling story of the ex-president’s latest form of en- | tertainment in the Guasu Nguishi| (which js the way to spell it if the | linotype machines didn't go wrong Sunday night), we can only hope that the Nairobi correspondent of The As- sociated Press is an arrant faker.

How calm some men can be under ftrying circumstances! There are teamsters who are calmer in front of a trolley car that wants to pass them ihan the law allows; and farmers who @re calmer in front of an automobile ‘on 2 narrow country road than is naf mral. These men are never so calm anywhere else. They get excited if ‘addressed, but they are as stolid as igraven images when menaced. They do not smile or swerve or turn and mlare, but just keep eves to the front ‘and move out of the way when they ~et zood and ready, Such calmness anywhere else would be highly com- /mendable—it would take the cake; but that is just where they never have any.

A great many people appear to e more anxious to exist in the minds ©f men than in Heaven after death. I see no special pleasure in the contem- plation of that kind of existence in the sweét py and by. A true joker has furnished a recipe for being kept in mind after death. It is this: Bor- row money of your friends and never pay it, and they can never forget you. I shouldn’t think of endorsing it; and, Yet. such an impression is decper than that which can be produced by a kind- mess and seems to last longer. If we [put joy into life it will never get lost if we do, and joy is @ good enough representative for any one. 1 think we ought to know more about radiant energy than we do. This is said by the astronomers to be the force which gives comets speed in space;and, if T mistake not, it is what gave radi um its name; and don’t you think that it may be an energy of souls gs well suns? Isp’t it the radiant enmergy of the soul of Rakes that is represented in the Sunday schools; of Williams represented in the Y. M. C; A.; of Clark represented in the world encircling Christian Endeavor; of Clara Barton seen in the Red Cross; of Angel glow: ing_through the ever increasing Bands of Mercy; of Vincent making greater souls through the operation of the Chautauquan camps and circles. Ra- diant energy Is not only the enersy of speed but of development, The captain of industry who only re- gards man as a bundle of energy to help him attain his ends at the market- price of his labor is not improving all of his opportunities, for by his thought and practics he is degrading his fellow men; and it Is impossible for any man to degrade his fellow men without de- grading himself. The spirit he is show- ing in business is the spirit of Cain. He would not confess to being his brother's keeper—he is his brother’s master—he buys him at the mariet- price, works him to the limit, casts him out to poverty and want if mis- fortune overtakes him, and buys an- other at the same price. Men and brethren! He bahs at that. He doesn’t seem to know that souls crushed down will rise to eternally condemn him. How unexpectedly speech will some- times open the door of sadness where we see no.signs of grief. Sometimes words sink deep and stir up smothered memories. Recently @ friend stirred by such a penetrating word, said: “I'm glad T am no younger. BEvery day Is a day nearer home—the end is not so far” There was no moodiness, but I was amazed by the depth of the griel which prompted that confidence to rac. I confess that I felt pained by it, and I could find no words which I imagined could assuage it. It was love assert- ing itself in the form of devotion— longing to_follow into the invisible sphere—to haye hope realized or to have fate forever settle the whole matter. There are hearts and hearts who_carry the burden end utter this sentiment fervently. It was an American philosopher who said: “Thundering long words ain't wisdom, and stopping @ creature’s mouth is more apt to improve his mind than his understanding” and also: “Conceit grows as natural as the hair on one's head, but it is longer in com- .ng out!” These sayings aco 50 pat that they do not need much explana- tion. Long words and vain concelt have alweys been traveling compan- ions, and their victims are never con- sidered to be wise. An exhibit of van- ity not an exhibit of sense is usually made in blg words. It is simple lan- guage that has force, and the greatest carrying power. “Love ye one another” means as much as any four words that can be put together in the English language: and “Abide in peace” has a force and value that is inestimable. 1 am afraid some of our rural friends are not always as truthful as they ap- pear to be. “Were tnose cgus you brought in” asked a grocer of one of them, “fresh laid?’ “You bet,” replied the countryman, as jnnocent as coul be: “they wuz wet when I left hom “That may be true” saig the grocer, “and the eggs be stale” “How do you make that out?” asked the pro- ducer. “If they were laid down last July and glassed or limed they wouiu have been very likely to have been wet Wwhen vou left home unless you took particular pains to dry them off before You started.” 'Cause vo arp 18 no sizn I'm lying,” replic “I tell yer, I told the hon The man who writes an anonymous letter and then gets mo nos of it doesn't feel @s if he had Tt anything, and he has not. s a mighty cowardly man who sits down to tell a citizen what he thinks of him or what he wishes may befall him and then has not the courage to sign his Senator Root should feel at home at Medicine Hat.

Now, however, he tells me he is discouraged and Teady to give up trying to help individuels; and, indeed, I understand that what he constders his surplus, or his “charity” fund, he gives wholly to Institutions— this ‘being the easiest way of shirking responsibility. Once when I asked him why his whole plan of helping had so changed, why the enthusiasm of per- sonal interest had gome out of It, he answered wearily that one and another of those whom he had tried to help had disappointed him; they had not dome as well as he hoped they wowd do; end that, on the whole, he thought those did best who fought thelr way through without any aid whatever. “Unless they go down into the dusi and dle, and you never hear of it” I exclaimed; and he looked at me, startled. Thinking about him, and of what he had done to help, and feeling sorry and sympathetic over his shattered dreams of helpfulness, I was moved €0 write him somewhat ltke this: “It seems to me most pitiful that after helping so many young people to get on their feet, you yourself should feel 5 bitter- ly disappointed.

Things are bettering all the time. Those who are privileged to round out another half century of life on this globe are to be congratulated, for they will see abundant evidences of the fact that this world is not a failure or the men and women in it fools, dupes or knaves. And vet now and then even an op- timist has his faith in the future se- verely strained. Revelations come to him of the weakness and wickedness of his fellows, and stunned for the moment. he asks, “What is the trouble | with this old world, anyway?

He also said that the Con- T | solidated railroad was today carrying people at an expense of $100,000 " per year. These declarations came as a surprise. His talk to the railroad men was o very intimate one with a humor- ous vein. This sentiment captured the meeting: “T want a_ten hour day. Will you help me get 1t? I wan't double pay for overtime.
