It was especially aimed at the anthracite coal roads of Pennsylvania, which are said to own 90 per cent) of the wnmined anthracite coal in that state. Their | of the business of both mining and carrying was complete, | cause if the other 10 per cent did not conform to the railroads’ rules and prices, they could be driven out of business. Congress deemed this condition of affairs an evil, and en acted the Hepburn law. It was supposed that the roads would | sell their coal lands and go out of the coal mining business Tastead, the roads attacked the validity of the law, and have won first blood by decision in their favor in the United States court of appeals at Philadelphia, Judge Geo. Gray (recently a Democratic candidate for the presidency) and Judge Dallas decided against the government, but Judge Buffington held the law valid. Judges Gray and Dallas held the law to be unrea- sonable and an invasion of state rights. The constitution and statutes of Pennsylvania prohibit} railroads from mining coal, but the railroads have so far so con-| trolled the state officers and courts of that commonwealth as to prevent the enforcement of the Pennsylvania laws This decision of Judges Gray and Dallas means, if upheld by the United States supreme court, that the federal govern-| ment is powerless to deal with this evil. | In other words, if the railroads continue to own the state | of Pennsylvania, al! the balance of the United States is power- less to obtain relief from the anthracite monopoly. This decision again brings forward the question of the appointment of federal judges. It is evident that the presidents of the United States have been putting upon the federal bench more lawyers like Judges Grosscup, Gray and Dallas than law- yers like Judges Landis and Buffington. Which of the presidential candidates can best be trusted with the appointment of federal judges the next four years? ve- | THE BOOM OF THE DOUBLE LIFE It was in Omaha the other day, in the Hains-Annis feud last month, in a banker's default the week before, and in the news columns almost every day—the old story. A man tries te be two persons at the same time. He makes his dual life geod for a while. Then the stern voice of God, who sees every man’s heart, stops him, and in disgrace, and probably in im- prisonment or blood, the double-liver loses. Loses name, loses happiness, loses life, loses forever. If you play against God, you always lose. Stevenson told of it in his “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” Dr. Jeky!! transformed himself occasionally into the fiend, Hyde. But Jekyll came to be absorbed in Hyde, and the dou- ble life ended in pure fiendhood. It is, alas! Hyde, and not Jekyll that gets the majority of the stock, in Annis, in Hains, im Stanford White, in Harry Thaw. Isn't it so in national life as well? Take England’s case. She brags because she is really a free country, while we are not. She has no police station “third “degree.” She has no postal censorship of the press, as we are coming to have. She lets her laborers parade the streets freely, Opens her parks to all classes, and has real freedom of speech and of the press. In this she is freer than America, we blush to say. But she leads a double life. In India she extorts $175,- 000,000 a year in taxes more than she spends for India, and she quarters 200,000 English taxeaters on the people. She grinds the life from millions more cruelly than the old Mahometan a rants ever did. Under the specious plea of bearing the white man's burden, she is enacting the Hyde role of tyranthood. Her rulers are| democrats in London, but in Calcutta and Bombay they send! men to prison for printing Hindu aspirations in newspaper they deny jury trial; they spy and shadow and dog men to snap up chance remarks of a “seditious” nature—and they are doing] the work of the devil of oppression in India as wickedly and as thoroughly as is the Russian bureaucracy in Siberia What a tragedy! Free old England, under Morley and As- quith and Lioyd-George and John Burns—to blacken history with deeds like these! And yet—we deny jury trial in the Philippines, and we re- fuse them home rule, and we have had the water cure and Hell-} Roaring Jake The task of governing men without their consent is the Hyde role. It is a double life for the democracy that attempts} it. Can England be Dr. Jekyll at home and Hyde in Asia? C we? Or will not the virus of the tyranny which is necessary to| the act, flow from the poisoned Asiatic arm into the circulation} at home?

RT to Joe's BY DR-WRC-LATSON- If we stedy those who have lived “long in the land,” we shall find that they differ widely in al most every particular, Some were large men and some were small Some were incessantly active; others never left thetr native valley Some were what we commonly cAll “good”; others were what we are agreed in calling “bad.” gome we virtuous; some were vicious, i But, with all these differences, We find certain peculiarities af body and mind common to ali those who attain great age. Ww find, aiso, that these same peculiarities are just those which, fromm! @ scientific standpoint, would be likely to preserve the body I may remark that an exhaustive stady of the aged, which I made some years ago, fully establishes the principles which I now -ad. voeate To speak first of all of the bodily characteristics of those who; reach advanced age, I have found three which are most striking arid important—an erect carriage, a broad, full chest, and a habit of slow, easy movement Those | found In every case examined What is the connection between these bodily pecullarities and old age? A very direct one. Take the erect carriage and the broad chest—which means an expanded trunk. ‘The trunk contains the vital organs, heart, lungs, stomach, intestines and others. Now, alt these organs do their work by vigorous motion; and for this motion they must have space. In the erect expanded body they have tha space, they do well their task of digesting the food, of making, pro. pelling and cleansing the blood, of ancidoting and excreting the body poisons; and so health, strength and long life are the natural result Then we have the habit of easy motion. I have seen men of 90 as vigorous, active and full of initiative as a boy of 20; but I never saw a man or woman of 90 who was atiff, rigid or excitable in movement. Always they have been quiet, slow and controlled tn thelr motions—not necessarily from weakness, but from life-long habit. And here again the reason is obvious. Rigid, hasty motions expend the vit force, and hence tend to early decay and death Another noticeable ularity of the nonagenarian is that they are light eaters. I never found an exception Lastly I may mention the mental state, Calmness is an al most invariable characteristic of those who reach extreme old age This, too, is only as it must be; for mental inquletude diaturbs ail the functions, lowers the vital powers and therefore prevents the attainment of long life So, if you would attain long life, take such exercises as will ex pand aud uplift the body and insure an ereet carriage, learn to move easily, calmness; for and make it a habit to keep the mind in a in theae things le the t of lone life. state of STYLES, | And Marie promptly annoyance to the enthual deweription. “They're Just gloriou she declared, “there's no other ex pression that quite fit, My hair dresser showed all of them to me today And what do you think’? ‘They're direc too They follow the prevailing mode the same as everything else.
