PUBLIC SENTIMENT STRONGER THAN
LAW.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT STRONGER THAI
Law.
tt seems to be the great lesson Of our
thine, remarks the New York Tribune
that laws are worthless without an ade.
quate public sentiment to uphold and
enforce them. Past generations Of refor-
mers have acted largely on the theory
that a law Of pious intention is a blessed
thing in itself and q great triumph for
reform; that it puts the brand of illegal
ity upon a practice at which 1t is aimed.
educates the people to new ideas Of duty
aud SO creates the public sentiment by
which it a eventually be enforced.
That was the ruling idea Of constitu-
tional prohibition, and, although expert
ence has tended to prove that an act
which can not be enforced is a positive
evil, impairs the moral sense, and, in
stead Of educating the people to better
things, creates a wider breach between
the best and most progressive element OF
a community and its voting majority,
yet there are many who still cling to the
old theory. The deliveries of the Pres
byterian Assembly do not help the cause
of prohibition. 1t will probably be con-
coded by the most ardent advocates that
the practical effect of the three votes in
the assembly will be i~nappreciable. There
was not the slightest necessity for this
great body of Christians to declare anew
Its zeal for the cause Of temperance.
The root Of the matter is that human
government, in order to get any good
done, is compelled to choose the practic.
able rather than the theoretical good; the
method which can be made effective, in
stead of those which by practical fail.
ure bring a good cause into disfayor and
defeat.

some matter has not hitherto been what it
should have been in the Boston schools. Says
the Providence Journal: It is certainly reg
ulation necessary to prevent abuses in large
school system that q detailed statement of
every instance of corporal punishment should
be furnished by the teacher to the school au-
thorities. Indeed, this seems but an elemen-
tary requirement, and there are plenty of
others that an enlightened experience has
shown to be almost as important, such as that
punishment should be inflicted by the prinoi-
pal of the school-a person other than the
teacher who may have been vexed at unruly
conduct; that it should be inflicted at con-
siderable interval after the cause for it has
been given, lest an angry impulse should be
the motive; and, of course, that 1t should
never be inflicted within the sight and hear

SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.

Figures do not lie, but they can be very
ipgeniously used. Science uses them so
when 1t deals with the past, present and
future population of this country. For In
stance, our population In 1850 was ,26O. 900.
At the end OF thirty years, in 1880, it had
reached 2,945, 200. At the end of thirty
years more, the lifetime of a generation, 1910,
it stood at 1899, ,ss1. In the course of
another generation, or in 1910, 1t was H.
069, ,45S. At the present time the figures run
up to the neighborhood of 60. 100000. If
this ratio of increase is fair basis for pre-
diction we shall have at the time when the
ten-year-old boy of to-day shall be forty
years of age, in 1920, something like 160,-
600, 900 of people in the United States, and
when that man of torty reaches his 10th
birthday, 1860, We shall have close upon
400, ,e00,0 That mans son, who will be
in the youth of his old age" in 1890, 100 years
from now, will be the citizen of Republic
with population of more than ], ,000, ,000, 900.
These are big figures, and unfortunately
very few who are now alive will be able to
test their accuracy. But great deal can
happen in hundred years. During that
time this country may be submerged by the
ocean and no population be left here.

NO TRUST.


The people of Montana do not mean to be
afflicted with trusts and similar combina-
tions in their new State. The new consti-
tuition says: No incorporation, stock COM
pany, person, or association of persons in the
State of Montana shall directly or indirectly
combine or form what is known as a trust,
or make any contract with any person or
persons, corporation or stock company.
foreign or domestic, through their stock
holders, trustees, or in any manner what
ever, for the purpose of fixing the price and
regulating the production Of any article of
commerce or the product Of the soil for con-
sumption by the people. The legislative as
sembly shall pass laws for the enforcement
thereof by adequate penalties to the extent,
If necessary for that purpose, of the forfeit
ure of their money and franchises, or, in case
of foreign corporations, prohibiting them
from carrying on business in this State.
This is broad enough and explicit enough.
But it is not probable that tho people of
Montana will entirely escape the operations
they mean to. Some way will be found to
oyer.reach them.
