While the opponents of I’realdenl Wilson and the Democratic party are talking hard times with frantic cheer fulness and while the whole country atnnds dlamnycd at the revelations which have recently come to light con cerning the prevalent customs and habits of renowned financiers and hon ored business men. thrre Is a great st idylng Influence at work. DDRhplte all the talk and furore which Is directed toward prejudicing the people against the Democratlc ad ministration. there Is the conscious ness that the woeful conditions which has brought these things to pass are being bettered through recent legis lation There are a few persons who are caught bv the falilclnus arguments that the hopeful calamity howlers are set ting up; hut only a few, we think, and for the moat part, they appear to be long to that class which has persistent ly and determinedly fought Woodrow Wllaon from the first time his name became promlmnent ns a ponible nom inee of the Democratic party. What these few refuse to admit, or to com prehend, ts that big business In this country has long been progressing upon the very dangerous basis that might makes right, that a thing la only dishonest when the law so labels It, and that a thief Is not a thief ts he la a big robber and immune from legal interference. In the revelation* which the trust hearings and investigation* are bring ing out. It i* evident that the finances of the country were destined to meet a fearful eatacltarn. Business that has gone on for to long on an utterly unsound and fictitious basis cannot continue to boom. The fortunate thing is that there have been statesmen anil political callers, wise and strong enough to foresee the smash toward which things were trending, and avert It ny Improved legislation, That some few people fall to grasp and what thoae who have been deeply Involved In thla aort of high-low fl (lnanre dealre, that they shall not grasp —la that the work at the Democratic admlniatratlon haa —far from unset thlng buslnesa—exercised an extraor dinarily ateadylng Influence over the country. What might have been the effect, had these shocking revelations of corruption and robbery In our btiKinosa system been presented to the public, without the faith and hope which the new legislation offers of better busl nesa snd more honest standards In the future, it Is hard to guess. but certain we may be, that while we are now ex periencing but the slight pause of a re j djuatment to sounder foundations, w» would then be suffering a severe panic snd complete demoralisation. All this commotion about stopping the trust hearings and letting business rest Is just a part of the same old work that was done to slop tariff re vision and currency refhrm. These measures have gone through calmly and determinedly and many of the hankers and business men who frothed at the mouth and shouted loudest to obstruct thla work have come around and proclaimed their faith and sat isfaction In them The same thing will occur when thla much-dreaded re inforcement of the anti-trust laws la completed. The worse to* he feared la that more honest and more qua! standards will become established. Who should fear this so much s# those w ho are profiting by methods which do nut measure t*' such standards?

John was very fond of playing trick ■ter Jokes, as he called them, and often made others uncomfortable to have what he tailed his fun. Spotty, the eat, had many times had her tail pulled when site was dozing In th€< min In such a rough manner that she would meow loudly and run away. Once John connected an electrical battery with her milk and poor Spotty would not touch milk again for a long time. Another time he tied her front pawn together, ami while it did not hurt her, it made her hop about in the most uncomfortable manner, much to the amusement of John. Toby, the dog, also came in for his shay of troubles. John would harness him to a little cart, which poor Toby disliked very much and drive him through the streets. Sometimes when Toby was sleeping John would steal up softly and tickle his tar with a long straw and tie some thing to his tall so when Toby walked it would rap his bind legs and he wound get Into all sorts of positions trying to free himself. One night when John was getting ready for bed his mother was talking to him shout bothering Toby, and “We must tie his hands also,” said Toby. Spotty. "How would you like It If « big hoy came along while you were asleep and fastened your feet with a chain or pulled your hair until you cried out with pain?" she naked John. "You must be kind to animals and not torment them," his mother con tinued. "they cannot tell you how un corfatble you makke them." John wax thinkings about what hla mother said when he got into bed, and suddenly he heard a noise and looking toward the door he was urprtsed to see Toby and Spotty walking toward him on their hind legs. “Mere he Is." said Toby, "now what shall we do first?” "1 didn’t know you could talk," said John, "when did you begin?" "We could always talk," replied Toby, "only you could not understand us. hut now we have decided to have some fun with you and we are speak ing your language, so you may know Just why we do these things.” "Yes," said Spotty, “we are tired of being bothered and we are going to give you a few of your own Joke* and see how you like them." "You are asleep.” said Toby, "hut you think you are awake; let us tie his arms first," said old Spotty.

"We must tie Ilia hands also,” said Toby, "for you know he can untie his feet.” So John's arms were tied behind him and then Toby tickled his ear with a straw. John rolled over and tried to get away and Toby and Spotty laughed at hls queer antics. "You should be ashamed of your selves," said John, at last; "I gave you both a good home and plenty to eat, and this is the way you repay me.” "That’s all true," replied Toby, “but Spotty keeps the rats and mice away and l guard the house at night, but you are not grateful; you torment us when we try to sleep and when we are awake, and we are tired of it.” “Let us pull hls hair,” said Spotty; "he pulls my tall.” "Mine, too,” said Toby, giving John’s hair a vigorous pull. “Ouch, ouch," cried John. "Doesn't lie sound funny,” said Spot ty, giving John's hair a pul from be hind. "Stop! Stop!" cried John; “you hurt." "You have hurt us many times," re plied Spotty. "Let us leave him now,” she said to Toby. "I>o you mean to leave me like this?” asked John. "I cainnot walk until you untie my feet." "Why shouldn't we?” asked Spotty. “You tled our paws otgether and we have to tug and pull until the string comes off; you can do the same." And away they ran, shaking their heads and laughing. John pulled and tugged, but It was of no use; the string held him fast "I wli call for help," he said at last; but to hls urprlse he could not maka a sound. He tried and tried, and at last he gave one more pull to the strings that bound him and tried to scream at the same time. This time he did make a noise, and the tlrst thing he knew he stood on the floor beside his bed and hls fath er and mother were standing In the doorway. "What in the world is the matter?" asked hls mother. John felt very foolish, for he knew he had been dreaming and he did not want to tell his dream. "Did you have a bad dream?” asked hls father. "Yes," replied John. “Well, get Into bed." said his moth er; "we are right in the next room and nothing can hurt you." John remembered bis dream the next day and he looked at Toby ami Spotty ns they dosed beside the Are. but he did not bother them, for he did not feel at all sure they did not know something about the uncomfortable dream as they lookked very knowing when they opened their eyes and looked at him whenever he came near them, and John did not care to have another dream like the one he had the night before.

AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA. THE WAYS OF THRIFT Copyright, 1914, American Society For Thrift. THRIFT IN TRANSIT. Twenty-three of the lamest German cities are showing thrift in the management of their transit lines by getting the most good out of their expenditures for the convenience, comfort and prosperity of the public, both in the cities and suburbs. In Berlin the street car service is excellent. There are more seats than passengers at almost any hour of theday. Not more than seven per sons are ever permitted to stand. In this city where the elevated line is under private management, the service has been brought up to a high standard and compares well with the surface lines run by the municipal ity. In the German capital the right of way of the elevated roads has been planted with grass and flowers, and fitted with benches and other con veniences. All through the crowded city the elevated roads make lines of green which are free for the use of the public. The stations are enclosed from the weather and are beautiful in design. The elevated is called the "umbrella of Berlin" because it affoi ds shelter from rain and sun. Both surface and elevated lines are so constructed that there is a minimum of noise. The average fare is 2% cents. Dresden is typical of the number of devices for conveniences to pas sengers. A stranger can easily use the street railways without knowing the German language or the street arrangement. Each of the 18 lines is designed by a number which has a conspicuous place on the front of the car. The cars with the even numbered routes are painted red and the odd numbered rouie cars are painted yellow. The cars make their stops in the middle of blocks so that they do not interfere with traffic at street cor ners. Inside the car on one side is a map showing the route of the car lines together with their numbers, and on the other side of the car is a map showing the various zones into which the city is divided. The cars are supplied with clocks which are advertisements of their makers. Two cents is the average fare for a single ride, and four cents is the maximum fare. Through wise, thriftfy expenditures, these German cities have lim inated tlie strap hanging which is prevalent in the large American cities. The public travel in comfort at about half the price Americans usually pay. They have placed the transportation of the public on the same basis’ as their health, police and tire protection. Their employes are paid better wages than in the past. These cities are buildipg for permanence, and in dustry is encouraged by their cheap fares. It is demonstrated that with these low rates and generous transfers, the congested conditions, high rents and unsanitary, poor housing in the over-crowded cities, is already in some degree diminished. Suburbs are developed by cheap commutation and the working claaes are allured to the surrounding country, and its available land for gardens. THE USE OF OPIUM IN THE UNITED STATES In the June American Magazine a former newspaper man who is now an inmate of a penitentiary records his experiences with opium He writes under the title "A Modern Opium Eater" and he signs hls article "‘No. which is his number in the peni tentiary where he is confined. Follow ing Is an extract from the article: "Few people in the United States realize the extent to which opium and kindred drugs are being used to day in this country. You, my reader, may have read of the Federal Gov ernment's strict prohibitive luw against the Importation of smoking opium, and concurred idly and with out interest. But do you know that the I'nited Stutes Revenue Service has a roster of over three thousand known users of opium in San Fran cisco alone? Countless other thou sands are unregistered. Every other great city in the country has similar rosters, and numbers Its 'flneds' by thousands and tens of thousands. Hundreds of cans of the contraband drug are sold daily in New Y'ork, Chi cago, Denver, New Orleans, Salt I .ake, and Portland. The United States army posts have been Invaded, and thou sands of the wearers of our country's uniform are users of opium, morphine, and cocaine. The severest penalties have not seemed even to check the habit. "Starting at the Prestdto tn San Francisco with transports returning from the Orient, the drug habit has spread among the enlisted men tn the army hy leaps and bounds The rea son ts easily found. Not one umn tn a hundred, once he has tested the peace, the mtnd-ease. the soothed nerves and the surcease from all sor rows, disappointments, and responsi bilities that come from a first use of opium, ever again has the will-power to deny himself that delightful nepen the. Opium ts like the salary loan shark -a friend today, smoothing dif ficulty and trouble with a free and easy hand Tomorrow It becomes a master, exacting a toll a hundredfold more terrible than the ills it eased,” THE REAL CRISIS. (Rpoheatcr Post-Express.) Anxious to say something to please and encourage the Progressive con tingent tn Congress when they came to see him a day or two ago. Colonel Roosevelt told them that they “had faced a real crisis" and that hts orig inal feeling for them had now been changed to "admiration and respect.” It might tie Inferred from this that his original feeling was something short of complimentary, but they had not faced any crisis then and It was not clear how they would act Just what the crisis was which they met so manfully the colon*! does not spec ify, and no concrestional ertats comes to mlml in which their course was greatly to their credit. It is true that when the Wilson-Underwood tariff bill came up for passage it was a critical momement for the country; but the Senate Progressives Joined with the Democrats to force it through and the House Progressives divided on that issue so that if half of them met the crisis well the other half must have met it miserably. It hardly seams as if that could be the real crisis the colohel refers to, and it must be that he has inmind the staunchness with which they have stood up for the third party while the party itself was melting away before their eyes It takes a high degree of heroism for a congressman to call him self a Progressive when there aer not enough voters of that faith left in his district to hold a nominating conven tion. Strictly speaking, this is rather a condition than a crisis—a state of par ty atrophy and gradual wasting or de cay, and not such an emergency as is commonly called critical. But this is probably what the colonel meant for their real crisis lies ahead of them on election day this fall. Always Lead to Better Health.
