and to promote more rational mode of settling

CAREY a murderer, but he was not killed
for that. His crime was in telling on the other
mlrderers. His fate is not encouraging to in
formers, but lawless conspiracies breed Just such
seoundrels as he was, and appear to have II spe-
cial tecundity of the sort in Ireland-Cinoinnati
Commercial Gazette.
| No one desires the government to monopolize
the telegraph business. In that 1t is seen there
would be many dangers and inconveniences
But the idea of postal telegraph used ad-
Junct to the nail service gains favor erywhere,
because 1t is not open to the just objections of
the other plan.-New York Herald.
THERE is no treason so heinous as that of the
man who. oOrrupts the voters of the republic
with money, and teaches the masses the vile les
son of commencing in their political virtue. No
issue Is so important as DISCRIMINATING the men
who dc such things, for their practices go to the
root OF free government They corrupt the
springs from which uneorrupted government
must flow, If it is to flow at all.-Chieago Trib-
une. .~f'i-ts't' N- 1915 IH
THE only truly natural and safe element of our
currency ls gold. II our money composed
only of that, and certificates based on it, which
would be the paper form of the thing, we
would then rest upon near a scientifically
sound foundation as the present state of human
nature or human knowledge will permit. In that
alone is there free coinage and the unrestricted
capacity to go where most needed.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
cutting is changing climate affecting the
distribution of rain fall drying up the sources of
rivers, or increasing the number OF destructive
freshets and storms let the facts be established

zen. In this way there may be created a public
sentiment that will assist those who are unset

THE time has fully come when it would be
great blessing to the entire United States if the
foreign capitalists would shut down on all Amer
| lean LOANS and compel this country to make It's
own improvements, great and small We can
| build our own railroads, levees oapitOs, pen-
ten tiaries and the like, and thus check the
| nous outflow of money in the payment of inter
est. Some few enterprises of pressing import
ance might suffer in consequence but the aggre-
gate result would be of incalculabe benefit to
the general public.-ChioagO Inter Ocean.
THE most evil kind and mode of monopoly Is
that which sets up in a secret and wholly ire
sponsible person or committee exclusive
power of control over the vendible produce or
faculty of production which is the natural and
lawful right of others. This is the kind and
mode of monopoly which every "brotherhood"
of wages workmen asserts and endeavors to
practice. There are mOnopOles and OnOpolies,
but the monopoly which is practiced by corner
ing" the liberty of the individual to control the
exercise Of his own faculties, is of all monOpO-
lies the wOrst.-ChicagO Times.
