When a doctor warns his patient
not to drink he probably wants to be
sure of getting his bill, suggests the
Philadelphia Record.
Now that the grave has closed over
the last of notable American savages,
may we not reasonably expect from
novelist or dramatist or musician a
work which shall worthily interpret
the character of the aborigine, asks
the New York World. The Indian has
Buffered almost as much from flattery
as from detraction. We are to beware
of final judgment based upon Cooper
and Mrs. Jackson no less than of pre
judices based upon the contumely
and bloodguiltiness of the frontier.
Like other people, our savages were
not all good and hhey were not all
bad.
If all men would only regard that
every good deed forms an eternal part
In the uplift of mankind, they would
treasure the good they have done as
cherished memories, and not regard
any life as fruitless, because every
one sometimes doo« some good, kind
or just thing. If all men would regard
that an evil deed or an evil thought
retards human progress toward per
fect fredom they would be less likely
to do or to think evil, preacheß the
New York World. The success or fail
ure of any life depenus not on an ab
solute standard, because human imper
fections prevent there being absolute
standards on a finite world. Success is
only relative. So is failure. The man
who has done the best which his op
portunities and environment permit
has made the greatest success that
the world allows him. Surely he has
done more than to "sow in the sea.”
It is not altogether the cry of a sex
battling against inequalities and in
justices yhich we hear in the asser
tions of various women that the es
tate of woman, whether she be consid
ered as eitizen or as wife, is the es
tate of the slave. There would be more
sympathy with these spokeswomen if
that were the case, asserts the New
Y'osk Mail. As a matter of truth, they
voice neither the needs nor the de
mands of their sisters, and they are
out of tune with the facts of life. They
are in rebellion against the necessities
of CTAs workaday world. They accept,
many of them, the facts of neither pro
duction nor reproduction, and out of
these two is woven the fabric of ex
istence. The "slavery” against which
they protest falls upon the entire
household, and is the service required
to support one’s self and to support
one’s children. The master whose ser
vice they would quit has the good
name of duty.
Consul General Richard Guenther,
of Frankfort, notes that at the annual
meeting of the Association of Ger
man Engineers, nrtely held at Dres
den, announcement was made that
the great work of and pub
lishing the new technical dictionary,
which was conducted under the aus
pices of the association, had to be
stopped because it was found that the
expenses would amount to more than
four times the estimates. Mr. Guen
ther adds: "The great progress in
science and industries had created a
vast mass of new term* and matter
iaregly in excess of what had been
estimated at the beginning. This stop
page is to be greatly regretted, as
the want of a new techniaal diction
ary and encyclopaedia is acutely felt
by thousands of persons engaged in
scientific research, in all lines of com
merce and production, in literature,
journalism, and in the administration
of state and municipal government. It
is, however, satisfactory to note that
the executive board of the Associa
tion of German Engineers has made
strenuous efforts to take up and com
plete this valuable work, and has* suc
ceeded in obtaining therefor the aid
of the federal government of Ger
many and of the Ministry of Educa
tion of the Prussian inzdom.”
INDUSTRIAL SKY BRIGHT
Government Statisticians’ Report
Is Optimistic.
GREAT TEXTILE ACTIVITY
Building La the Large Citi«» of the Coun
try Reported as Being Unusu
ally Large.
Washington, D. C. —The silver lin
ing of the clouds of business depres
sion that darkened the industrial sky
is about all the government statisti
cians saw during the month of May.
The statisticians’ review of the inter
nal commerce of the United States
during that month, as shown by a bul
letin of the department of commerce
and labor, has an optimistic tone.
While the volume of live stock and
grain movements was below that for
May of the preceding two years, and
there appeared also a slight check in
the upward trend of the coal and lum
ber traffic, the transportation manu
facturing and building activities are
teported as improved.
The coke output and shipments
showed a continuous improvement in
answer to the larger demand of the
iron furnaces. Increased takings of
cotton and wool were interpretated as
indicating a greater activity in the
textile industry, while larger ship
ments of boots and shoes from the
chief distributing centers served the
statisticians as an index of more reg
ular industrial employment.
The building activity in the larger
cities of the country was reported as
unusually heavy. Traffic operations
of railroads, judging by the total
number of freight cars handled and
the number of idle cars reported,were
not up to the high record of 1907,
though comparison with May, 1908,
showed a consideiable improvement
for practically all sections of the
country.

pany and Tallahassee, Perry and
Southeastern Railway and of all other
railway companies, substantially the
entire capital stock of which is owned
by the Seaboard Air Line Railway,
except properties of such companies
as. after careful investigation, it ap
pears more advantageous to operate
under their separate organization.
The chief issue of new securities
authorized will be four per cent re
funding bonds limited to a total of
$125,000,000 probably to be dated Jan
uary 1, 1910.

JUDGE JONES THREATENED,
Night Rider Judge and Jurors Re
ceive Black Hand Letter.
Union City, Tenfi.—Judge J. E.
Jones of the circuit court has receiv
ed a very threatening letter, mailed
from St. Lonis, in which he is told
that he would be assassinated if it
took ten years to do it; that the en
tire Jury that recently found the eight
night riders guilty of murder in the
first degree would also be killed; that
the court house at Union City would
be blown up; that the city would be

SUGAR COMBINE INDICTED.
Trust and Its Directors Sued by United
States Government.
New York City.—Through a federal
grand jury the United States gov
ernment laid the groundwork for an
other gigantic anti-trust suit in the
indictment of the American Sugar Re
fining Company as a corporation, six
of its directors and two prominent
lawyers. The defendant company and
the individuals were charged with
conspiracy in restraint of trade under
a criminal clause of the Sherman anti
trust law, which provides as a penalty
upon conviction a fine of not more
than $3,000, or imprisonment not more
than one year, or both, in the case
of the individuals, and a fine of not
more than $5,000 in the case of a
corporation.
FLIKTINGIS tNUOKSID.
Harvard Professor Says College Boys
and Girls Are Too Studious.
Boston, Mass. Professor George
Herbert Palmer of Harvard, 67 years
old, has come forward with the state
ment that a little flirting, properly
conducted, of course, is not only ad
visable, but even imperative for the
average college boy and girl.
“Flirting is the surest way toward
the proper knowledge of social life,”
says the professor; ”1 think the girls
of Radcliffe and the boys of Harvard
devote too much of their time to
study. They actually bury themselves
in their books, and the result is that
when they get through college they
don’t know a thing about social life.
“They should mingle a little frivol
ity with their studies —in other words,
they should flirt a little.”
MARINES ARE RESTORED.
Order of Roosevelt is Nullified by an
Act of Congress.
Washington, D. C.-—That portion of
the marine corps of the navy with
drawn from duty aboard ships by or
der of former President Roosevelt,
issued November 12th last, is now
back on the battleships, cruisers and
other vessels in accordance with the
action of congress.
The order restoring the marines to
ship duty was issued Just before Pres
ident Roosevelt retired, often congress
had placed a provision in the navy
appropriation bill stating that no
money voted for the marine corps
should be available unless the ma
rines served on ships as originally.
The order restoring the marines,
hcTwever, restricted their duty, and
President Taft last May directed that
the marines be placed back on ships
and given the same duties that' they
formerly performed.
MISSOURI PRIMING MORE BEER.
Although Eighty-One Counties of the
State Are “Dry.”
St. Louis, Mo. —Although more than
eighty Missouri countiers are dry and
the Cunday elosing laws are enforc
ed vigorously, the month of June, just
closed, shows greater consumption of
beer than any corresponding month
since the creation of the office of beer
inspector, eight years ago.
The report of State Beer Inspector
Ernst Mai-shall received by State
Treasurer Cowgill shows receipts of
$43,663. Only $41,494 was taken in
during June, 1904, the world’s fair
year. No June until now has equaled
the receipts of that one. The whole
salers have done a big business in
dry counties, many customers buying
beer by the barrel and whiskey and
wine bv the ease, where formerly
they bought the drinks as they want
ed them. No check is kept on the
whiskey and wine sold in Missouri,
the inspection being confined to beer
FOOD SUPPLY INVESTIGATED.
Committee Report* That Charges
Against Meat Inspection Are False.
Washington. D. C. —The pommittee
appointed by Secretary Wilson,which
investigated the charges of J. f.
Harms that the federal meat inspec
tion service at East St. Louis was
' rotten and a farce,” reported .that
the inspectors there were honest men
and performing their duties efficient
ly and that no meat had been passed
which was unfit for human food.
Renovating White Bouse.
Washington. D. C.—-Destruction of
the far-famed white house tennis
conrt, where played the so-called
"Roosevelt tennis cabinet,” to make
room for the additional working quar
ters for the executive clerical staff,
began when the excavators marked
off the ground for pick and shovel.
This is the beginning of the reno
vation of the white house and the
further improvements ordained by
President Taft.
Newsy Paragraphs.
Bombs were exploded in two of the
Bacelona. Spain, theaters. One of
the playhouses was empty, but the
other was crowded and the audience
was thrown into a panic. One man
was fatally wounded.
England is threatened with another
serious coal crisis. The new minesr’
eight-hour act, which went into effect
in Wales, July 1, has led to a dispute
between the mine owners and the
men. which is expected to result in a
lockout of all Welsh miners. A con
ference of the miners' federation of
Great Britain, was held in London
and a resolution jvas adopted promis
ing to support the Welsh miners, and
if no settlement of the dispute is
erached. to call a national strike of
all the miners in the kingdom.
"The unwritten law” was sustained
by a jury in Chicago which freed
Michael Pacellane, charged with the
murder of Frank Sereno. as a result,
it is alleged, of the l3tter’s betrayal
of Pacellane’s sister.
