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. KEOHGANIZAiIONJJFjrHE SEABOABD. Details of Plan to Save Road Are Made Public. New York City.—Details of the re organization plan of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, placed in receivers’ hands some time ago, were formally announced here. The only securities that are to be surrendered for new ones are the general mortgage 5 per cent bonds of 1907, for which adjustment bonds are to be exchanged. The first mortgage 4s are to be deposited so that they may be stamped so as to be redeem ed or purchased at par later. The road is to continue liable for its just obligations, including guaran ties of the bonds of subsidiary lines, and it is intended to vest in the Sea board Air Line, by sale, merger or otherwise, the properties of the Bir mingham Air Line Railway, Atlantic, Suwanee River and Gulf Railway Com pany. Catawba Valley Railway, Flor ida West Shore Railway, Plant City, Arcadia and Gulf Railway, Roanoke and Tar River Railway Company, Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad Com 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. The other issue of new securities authorized is to consist of adjustment mortgages 5 per cent bonds limited to a total of $25,000,000, these to be cumulative interest bonds probably dated November 1, 1909, payable in forty years.

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 in ashes and the streets flow in blood and other similar threats. It will be remembered that Judge Jones tried the night riders who were found guilty. 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.
