Open Saloons on Sunday.

The doors of the dram-shops might as
well be wide open on Sundays, since there
appears TO be more drinking in the dram
shops on those days than OF other days of
the week. Because the front doors are
closed it doesn't follow that the dram-shops
are closed.
A couple OF weeks ago negro was found
dead on Monday morning near a dram
shop. II was said that he died from
the effects of whisky obtained in that dram
shop the day before. Yesterday a negro
was badly beaten in dram-shop where
lot of negroes were drinking. II statements
that are made are true, many of the dram
shops were full of negroes pretty much all
day yesterday, loading themselves with bad
whisky.
Nobody seems to care much whether the
dram shops are open on Sunday or not.
There is an ordinance against keeping them
open, but it is not enforced. The MORNING
NEWS has called she mayors attention to this
matter many times bat the dram shops are
still open on Sundays. No effort appears to
be made to close them.
THETA is, there doesn't seem to be a pub

forcs the authorities to apply the remedy to
this Sunday dram-shop evil.
1t is understood that it is the purpose of
the prohibitionists to apply TO the next leg
isture for general prohibition law, which
will close the dramshops not only on Sun
days, but on all other days of the week. II
they do apply the chances are that their
application will be granted. The legisla-
ture. from present indications, will he CON-
posed largely of farmers who are prohibition
lists ard they will not hesitate to adopt
extreme measures against the whisky evil.
If the dramshop keepers find they
have no friends TO assist them in opposing
such sweeping law they will not forget,
probably, toat in defying the Sunday liquor
law they themselves created the demand
for general prohibition law. As long as
the liquor question is mixed up with NUM-
cipal politics there is not much probability
that the Sunday drinking evil will be
remedied.

Labor Laws of Europe.

The United States consul at Stuttgart has
prepared synopsis of the labor laws of
Europe, particularly those relating to the
hours of work and the employment of
women and children. In Germany children
under ~ years are not allowed to work in
factories, and those between 70 and IA
years may work six hours daily.
For adult women there is comparatively
little protection in Germany. The labor
laws of Austria on the foregoing points are
similar to those of Germany. In Hungary
the laws forbid the employment Of children
under 10 years in manufactures TIE
working hours are fixed by the trades au-
thorities at eight hours for children from
IL TO l4years of age, and ten hours for chill
dren from IA to l6 years. Night and Sun
day work is prohibited. In Great Britain
there are special laws governing the en-
ployment of women and children, the sub
stance of which is as follows:
In the textile industries the laboring
hours for women and children between IA
and Is years are from six to seven hours in
the morning, and from six to seven hours
in the afternoon, with two hours rest for
meals, making altogether ten working
hours per day. Children may only be en-
ployed for six hours daily, or ten hours
every other day. Ia the other manu-
factories the time is l015 hours for women
and young persons, and 81 hours for Gull
dren, or ten hours every other day In
housework the time for women aud young
people is fixed at 1016 hours, and children
may only work from 6 a. IN. to l p M, or
from to p. M, with half hours rest.
In England children above the age of 10
ma ha afa1O uaA in 70
children under the age of ~ are not allowed
in the English coal Mines In France chill
dren under 12 years of age are prohibited
from working in mines and factories, but
notable exceptions are made in textile, glass
and paper factories. 1t is magnanimously
provided, however, in these exceptions
that the children must not be employed
more than ten hours day.
and they must be allowed to visit" school.
Swiss children must be IA years old before
they can begin work in factories, and
women and children are not allowed to
labor nights or on Sunday in Switzerland,
and at no time in the immediate vicinity of
motors or dangerous machinery. Belgium
offers hardly any protection to her work
ing women and children, while Holland
fixes the working time for women, boys
and girls at eleven hours daily, and pro-
hibits night and Sunday work.
In Italy, the age limit for working child
rem is nine years. In Denmark ten to four
teen years and only 81 hours labor each
day are allowed. Ia Sweden and Norway
night work and factory labor for minors
under twelve years is forbidden. Children
under twelve are, with ''few exceptions"
excluded from the Russian factories. Spain
protects only the child under ten years.
Portugal, Greece. Turkey, Bulgaria, Rou-
mania and Servia have no labor laws. La
borers there have to be grateful that they
are allowed to live. In nearly all the coun-
tries the laws prohibit Sunday work, but 1t
is well-known fact that the Sunday labor
laws in Europe, except in England, are
practically dead letter.

A Government Standard for Grain.

A Government Standard for Grain.
A bill Of very considerable interest 20
farmers is now pending in the House
There is no politics in it. II there were a
greater effort would be made in its behalf.
In view Of the fact, however, that the
farmers alliance is stirring up congressman,
il may receive some attention before the
end Of this session. The bill provides for
establishing a uniform standard for wheat.
corn, oats. barley and other grains
The committee on agriculture, in its re-
port on this bill, says: THAT there is urgent
need for a national standard governing the
classification and grading of grain. uniform
in its application to the several kinds of
grain produced in the several states, is evil
dent when the fact is known that there eK-
lists no uniformity in the rules governing
the classification and grading OF grain in
the several states, and that an identical
consignment of grain, classified aud graded
according to the standard of one state. may
be rated as of different class and grade in
any other market. For example, a shipper
of No. 2. wheat from one market has
no assurance. even though the identity of
wheat will grade above No. 8 when graded
according to the standard in another state,
the disposition being to make the grade as
low as possible In order that inferior grain
may be added without detection, and with
out danger of condemning the grain to a
lower grade in the open market. The
mixing Of grainof different grades by the
manipulators Of the grain markets, thus
inflicting great injustice upon the producers
Of good grain, and placing upon the market
adulterated and unwholesone food, is one
OF the evils for which this bill provides
remedy"
20 The bill requires the Secretary of Agri-
culture to establish a standard for classify
ing and grading grains. but It is not in
tended that the standard so fixed shall inter-
fere with any local standard or the inspec-
ton laws of any state. All that Is pro-
posed is to secure uniformity II can be
seen readily that under the present condi-
ton of affairs producers are to large ex-
tent at the mercy of the dealers. If all
dealers were honest a uniform standard
would not be urgently demanded, perhaps,
but some dealers are not hooest,
and, In fact, some producers are not. If this
bill should become law the producers of
clean and high grades of grain would be
protected and remunerated. and purchasers
would know exactly what they were get
ting. While. as a rule, it seems to be the
better plan to let commercial matters regu-
late themselves, this bill seems to be legisla-
ton in the right direction. And, if it we're
possible. would it not be advisable to have
government standard for cotton as we'll as
for grainl

Preserve Our Forests.

The necessity for protecting our forests
from spoliation and wanton destruction, a
subject which the American Forestry asso-
citation will consider at its meeting in Can
ada next month, appears most urgent. All
over the country the forests suffer from
devastation, no inconsiderable part of which
is absolute waste. The frightful de-
struction of forests in Michigan,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota has
about reached its end. Last year these
states produced S,3e5, Zoo, 600 feet of lumber
and nearly 4,7O0, 200, 900 shingles. The 90
000,000,000 feet reported as standing in
Lower Michigan ten years ago have
dwindled down to 5000, 900, or one
tenth that amount. In Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont there wa, by
the census of 1880, a product
standing of 1905, 0OO, 900 feet, with
an annual cut of 653, 900 feet.
This forest growth is by this time reduced
to but little more than years supply. The
pine timber in the south is by TO means in
exhaustible. The saw-mills of the north
could in very short time convert into lum-
Der the merchantable pine of Georgia,
Alabama, the Carolinas and Florida.
The forest area of the United
States, excluding Alaska, is 500, o00, 900
acres. OF this some 1S5. 1000. 900
are on farms, and the remainder is chiefly
owned by railroad corporations, mine own
ers, lumbermen and spectators. The pub
lie domain has 60,000,OO0 acres of forest.
The railroads require 10000, 900 ties, some
SOC, 000,0 900 cubic feet, year, with renewals
every seven or ten years. The cooperage
interest requires $50, 600, 900 feet of wood :;
the carriage builders 25,000,00O
But the wooded area occupied by farmers
is gradually extending. Groves and trees
are planted or preserved with care; lands
not suitable for profitable tillage are sur
rendered to stock which in a few years
will prove highly renumerative. From 400
to 600 trees, each capable of producing two
ties or more, can be grown in twenty years
on single acre. Arbor day, too, has given
an impetus to tree planting in all the states
where such a day is observed. On the
other hand, the timber culture act has
proved failure.
To preserve our forests waste in cutting
trees should be prevented, and no timber
should be allowed to be cut except for build
ing and commercial purposes. 1t may also
be good idea to utilize the abandoned
farms in New England and let them grow
up in pine timber again. They would then
be more valuable than they are now and
would yield profit to their owners. The
necessity for the preservation of our forests
and the encouragement of timber cult
walton for sanitary and economic reasons is
also apparent.

ting to be very common. Not long ago
there was shocking tragedy near Danbury.

10 the same locality. The last one was the
shooting of John j. Waters, a middle-aged

The shooting was the outcome of family

Mr.. Gladstone is an enthusiastic advocate
of manual training. Ia an address before
the Literary Institute of Saltrey, on Fri
day, he "extolled the value of the technical
training of artisans, whom he exhorted to
work to the best of their ability and to
avoid scamping. He appealed to the work :
ing classes to Danish the false idea of the re-
spectability of the lower grades of clerk
ships, where, he said, competition was more
severe than in any branch of manual labor.
Owing to competition, the better educated
Germans were willing to work at half
price, while in multitude of departments
hand labor was capable of being raised to a
high degree of excellence" Words like
these from such a source ought to inspire
young men to look to hand labor for fut-
ure rather than to waste their time in clerk
ships at salaries scarcely large enough to sup
port them, and which promise little for the
future. Some of the ideas of responsibility
whicn young men entertain are false ideas.
