O—— 1 — e 2 —————- o e - ——— e e eet et e ettt e e gamremeeest § - A Missourian has paid $2600 for an fllinois pig. These neighborly bar gains in which both sides make money and farm science is advanced are to be warmly commended observes the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. “We must remember,” says the Chi cago Inter Ocean, “that no one is whol ly good and no one is wholly bad.” The human mind is so constituted, re torts the Louisville Courier Journal, that it is no trouble to remember the first part. When a stoker on an ocean steamer is operated on for appendicitis the ail ment would geem to have reached its utter impossibility for fashionable folk, thinks the New York Evening Post, were it not for the absolutely ex clusive circumstances—a raging sea and a tossing ship—amidst which the operation was performed. The new white marble agricultural building, at Washington, costing one and a half million dollars is complete and occupied, and yet more room is needed, pleads the Indiana Farmer, and a bill for $1,750,000 more for an ex tension of the building has been intro duced. Agriculture is our greatest in dustry and ought to be most liberally endowed, Among the homeless human beings who crawl at night Into areaways or under trucks, who overcrowd the mu nicipal lodging houses and who even throng the morgue for shelter, hardly any women are found, affirms the New York World. What has become of all the women of the families of these men, of the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters? On what do they subsist? Where do they find shelter? What -fi.‘.{{lo suffragette is the woman suffra glst who is convinced that the periods of words and grass are past, and that it is time to try the virtue of throwing stones, defines the New Haven Regls ter, The suffragette has the spirit of the old martyrs, lacking, frequently, their sanctified common sense. She storms, gregariously, the houses of commons and the seats of the mighty. She marches in the streets, she uses Carrie Nation methods, she gets ar rested. Thus is she a martyr, though how she helps her cause toward any practical goai it is difficult to discern, The decision of a New York judge, that women not guests of a hotel nor attended by men as escorts may be ex cluded from certain dining rooms of the hotel, will be received with com mendation wherever the “rights” ques tion has not superseded the finer ques tions of refinement and propriety. The exclusion is primarily in the interests of women themselves argues the Hart ford Courant. The attempt of recog nized leaders in the various masculine “causes” that some women advocate to force a decision of this matter has met a very proper conclusion, The court in effect tells them that there are things that men can do that women cannot do; that here is a fun damental difference in the positions of the sexes in society. ‘lt is quite well known, opines the Pittsburg Despatch, the Carlisle Indian School was established after very care ful study of the problem by persons who hadl “But the one purpose, to help the Indlafi: That school was long con ducted by Captain Pratt and his wife, who understood the Indian question as a result of years of patient study. The school has turned out hundreds of use ful graduates, has made of its Indians useful citizens, capable of bearing thelr share of the burden of a progressive ciyllization. There is no record of a ngglqle Indian returning to his ab original . ways; the percentage of fall ures among its alumni is less than that of the average college for whites.

A sharp distinction is drawn by the state court of appeals in a deeision handed down a few days ago in the case of Dr, E. M, Roberts of Atlanta against the state between a “public place of businegs” and a “private place of business,” as meant by the prohibi tion law. The court holds, in substance, that a room used solely for the purpose of storage, which is kept locked, to which the public are not invited, and from which the public are excluded, and in which no business is transact ed, is not a “place of business” in the sense of the prohibition statute. In the decision written by Presiding Judge Hill and concurred in by his associates, Judge Calhoun of the city court of Atlanta is reversed in holding for a conviction in the case of Dr. Rob erts, who kept stored in his private warehouse in Courtland street many kegs of beer, used in the manufacture of a prohibition drink.

For over an hour the riot continued, the strike breakerg gradually getting nearer to the car barns; but before they reached there about a dozen had been wounded and were picked up on the streets where they were left by sympathizers of the strikers. When near the car barns, so fierce was the onslaught on the body of im ported men that ‘miey separated and fled, thirty running into a negro house, while the remainder reached the car barn and barricaded the docors.

The thirty men who gained the mnezro house barricaded the doors, and it took the police over an hour to disperse the mob and remove the men to places of safety, The riot occurred so suddenly that the detail of police, headed by Chief Saunders, was powarless for some time to quell the disturbance.
