The mind cure healers, the natural

prayer are making a fight in the New
York legislature against the proposed
Jaw to allow nobody to practice the doc
tors profession except those who have
diplomas from authorized medical COL
leges. On general principles it looks as
If anybody who can cure people ought
to be permitted to do it by whatever
agency he can utilize The main point
is to cure humanity, and there is need
enough of that. Still, why do not the
mind cure, faith and Christian Science
healers make use of their occult power
to defeat the Objectionable measure? If
that power will heal diseases, it certain
ly will work for other ends as well. It
looks like distrust Of their own powers
when these healers must resort to the
measures used by ordinary mortals to
fight Objectionable laws. Why do they
not will the evil away or declare it non
existent opposed to the all good, there

The COxeyS.

It is indeed true that the business of
the country is in bad way, that there
are at present thousands Of unemployed
workers in the United States, and that
some of them have Coxeyized, but still
the situation has some redeeming fea-
lures.
For one thing, no person needs to suf-
fer for lack of exciting things to read
about. The Coxey armies themselves
have furnished very sensible portion
Of the interesting current newspaper
copy, not the least Of which relates to
the dilemmas in which the governors of
the various states find themselves when
the moving Coxey cohorts invade the
commonwealth.

Talk about our ancestors, the noble
pioneers of America, and exalt them as
though there never was anybody equal
to them! Some of them apparently did
not have sense enough to goin out Of the
rain. If they had had, they would never
have cut away the timber from the head

America as they did, thus drying up the
streams and subjecting the land their
descendants till to alternate flood and
drought, biting frosts and destructive
winds.

The climax of absurdity in paternal
government has been reached in bill
introduced into the New York legisla-
ture. The bill in question provides for
the licensing of bill posters and for the
wearing of badge by them. This would
not do so much harm if the proposed law
did not go further and prohibit anybody
else from sticking up bill. If farmer
had a sale of live stock and wanted to
announce it to his neighbors, he would
not be allowed under such law as this
even to paste his sale bills upon his own
gate. He would have to get the licensed
bill poster to do it.

The Age of Steal.

An able journal contains recent edi-
torial on the age of steel. IT'S we'll,
only our esteemed contemporary spells
it wrong. This is the age of steal. There
is not an article of food that can be adul-
terated that is not put upon the market
in that state. The very bread that goes
into our mouths is pulled up with am
monia and cheapened so that the nour-
ishment is nearly all out of it.
The individual who should undertake
to live on ordinary bakers bread would
starve to death in short time. When
we fall i'll from the effects of insufficient
and adulterated food, we call in the
physician, who gives us prescription.
BY the ubiquitous system known to drug
gists as substituting" our very medicines
are adulterated, too, so that they do not
have the effect intended. This system
of wholesale murder would worry the
druggist and chemist so they could not
sleep nights if this were not the age of
steal.
There is scarcely a textile fabric on the
market, no matter at what price, that is
pure silk, pure linen or pure anything it
claims to be- When a real estate agent
sells town lots, he will conceal deliber-
ately every disadvantage connected with
the property and make an earthly para
disc out of a mosquito swamp or a
droughty desert.
The reason of it all is that this is the
age of steal. It rules in all transactions
alike from colossal to microscopic. And
yet we wonder that hard times overtake
the civilized world periodically. The
wonder would be if they did not.

was bent on carrying he said: s'We have

taxes, contracting the currency, dismiss

But it is worth the cost if we can get
the policy SO firmly established before
we fall that our successors must carry
it on after us. Then we have Won"

Fine Feminine Enthusiasm.

It Is q grand thing to be a successful
lawyer or member of jury that rem
ders a popular verdict. But it is little
embarrassing sometimes. It is indeed.
When popular enthusiasm bursts all
bounds and Stops over in its gratitude,
the lawyer or juryman could occasion
ally almost even wish the verdict had
gone the other way.
A pretty Polish girl of the name Of
Anna Wonzowlaska was on trial in
q country town on Long Island on a
serious charge. She had many friends,
women friends, and they trooped into
court and watched the trial with great
interest. The eloquence of her lawyer
SO moved the jury that they acquitted
her. Without a word of warning, with
out a premonition on his part of the
dread fate that was to overtake him, the
lawyer was suddenly seized by the
strong, pretty arms of Anna Wonzow-
laska and squeezed and kissed till he
was almost suffocated.
1t was the signal for Annals. friends to
be up and doing. The kissing epidemic
attacked them also. They could not get
at the lawyer because Anna Wonzow-
laska monopolized him. They turned
their attention to the judge. Twenty
women would have kissed him to death
but that he was protected on all sides by
8 phalanx of stony hearted court officers,
who rallied to his support just in the
nick of time.
''The jury, the jury!'' exclaimed one of
the 20 women. There was simultane-
GUS rush at the men in the box. The
foreman, being nearest the door, got
away, but the other II had to sit and take
it. If any one of those men ever wants
any more hugging and kissing during
his natural life, he will be hard to satisfy.

TREES IN THE TOWN.
They Add Value to Property-A Few Re-

They Add Value to Property-A Few Re-
marks on Street Lighting.
A love of the beautiful is Unborn in
man. Trees are source Of never failing
enjoyment to jewellers in the town, and
no town can be beautiful without them.
How refreshing their shade in summer,
and the dreariness Of winter is rendered
less desolate by their presence. Senti-
ment aside, trees have direct value. A
tree shaded avenue is a much more de-
sirable place of residence than one which
lacks their adornment. Property is more
valuable on this street, and landlords
demand and receive a higher rate Of
rent. The houses are more pretentious,
the lawns are green and smoothly shay
Ell, and beds of flowers and punches Of
shrubbery bear witness to the friendly
rivalry among the jewellers to excel in
the beautiful. A comparatively small
outlay would do much to beautify our
town. Once planted and properly guard
ed from destruction, trees require little
care and in a few years will amply rec
ompense us for trouble and money ex-
pended.
The lighting Of streets at night is a
subject Of great Importance to the peo-
pie of community: The benefits are
many and far outweigh any question of
cost or economy. How many accidents
that have caused loss of life and limb
are due to insuficiently lighted or Who'll
~ dark streets! How many crimes have
been committed under cover of darkness
that would never have been perpetrated
had there been light to reveal the robber
or assassin to his intended victim! The
development Of electricity has made it
possible to light our streets at night at
a small expense. No costly plant is re-
quired, and the outlay for labor to put
up the wires is nominal.
The lighting Of the business section is
not enough. It is good so far as it goes,
but it does not go far. The personal
safety and convenience Of every citizen
demand that our streets shall be so IL
Illuminated that he may leave his home
after dark without danger Of breaking
his limbs or having his head smashed

Salvation In ST. Louis.

The Salvation Army in st. Louis is
holding q series Of curious meetings. The
intention Is to establish an industrial
home there similar to those already in
operation in Great Britain and else
where. The soldiers have strange way
OF beginning their home. The design is
to have what will practically be train
ing and trade school where street urchins
and homeless youngsters may be taken
In, housed and taught useful trades. It
will be the only way to stop the supply
of criminals, if they are ever to be
stopped, cutting off the brook before it
reaches the full river.
At the headquarters of the army in St.
Louis the soldiers begin with song, drum
and fife. The sound attracts the multi
tude to the rooms. Then there is speak
ing, with more brass band work, and
singing and praying. At meeting not
long since waiter testified that he had
been hopefully converted. He sang a
song Of his own composition, which
made up perhaps in sentiment what it
lacked in sense. It informed the au-
dlence that under the walters Jacket
and apron they would find blue uni
form so true. He did not tell the au-
dience, however, whether, since his con-
version, he had been blessed with better
eyesight, so as to be able to see both the
people who tipped him and those who
did not. That would be the true test of
converted waiter. And if he refused
any tip at all then we would be sure of
the saving grace.
At the close of the speaking the Saliva
ton brethren at their headquarters be-
gin industrial work, each at whatever
trade he has earned. A carpenter be-
gins with plane and hammer; the plas-
terer daubs on mortar; the dressmaker
plies her needle; the milliner trims bon
nets; the artificial flower maker fashions
her wares and sells them in theaudience.
The inevitable collection is taken up.
and while the noise and work 20 on the
band plays furiously, inspiring the toll
ers to still greater effort. AS show
piece the thing is hard to beat.
However one may disapprove the
queer methods of the Salvation Army,
it is certain that the soldiers are today
reaching more people in the slums, more
social outcasts and criminals, than any
other agency has been able to do. How
far they can be permanently held under
the reforming influences of course re-
mains yet to be seen. One would like to
know, for instance, about that waiter
whether he really refuses to take tips or

Debtor Nations and Bimetallism.


Hon. A. J.. Warner, president Of the
Bimetallic league and formerly member
Of congress from Ohio, writes letter to
the New York Sun arguing that no
debtor nation can maintain single gold
standard. He reasons thus: To main
tain the single gold standard there must
be in the country an amount Of gold suf-
ficient at all times to redeem any silver
or paper money that might be offered.
70 keep this supply constant the ma
ton, say the United States, must export
always as much as it imports. The mo-
ment exports exceed imports gold must
go out of the country to pay the differ
ence. But to export as much as we i'm
port the prices of the staples we sell
must be kept as low as those Of other
nations, or the other countries will buy
the goods elsewhere.
If, on the other hand, we can export
more than we import, then gold will
come to'us. If these two problems of
export and import were all there were
to deal with, we could maintain the gold
standard by simply adjusting our cur
rency and the prices of our export COM
modities to the international level Of
prices.
That, however, does not constitute half
the difficulty. The United States is a
debtor nation. Every year we must pay
to other nations, chiefly to England, a
sum variously estimated at from $780,
100000 to $30o,000,000 interest on the
capital we have borrowed to develop the
resources of our young country. This
of course must be paid in gold. Besides
keeping our exports up to a point where
they will at least equal our imports we
must make them also pay that vast sum
of interest, or our gold will flow out of
the country so rapidly that we should
soon be depleted of it.
That, in fact, is the process that has
been in operation in the United States
for many years. England can maintain
the gold standard because she is a cred
itor nation, but Mr.. Warner declares
every debtor nation that has. attempted
it has been brought to bankruptcy. Mr..
Warner says in conclusion:
Under the bimetallic standard, with silver
widely disseminated among the people and
constituting principal part of the general
supply of currency, the expectation of metal
from accumulated stores to settle balances
would have little effect on the money volume
as a whole IT gold left us at times, silver
would always be at hand to take it's place as
basic money. But the difference is measure
less if silver itself, certificates representing
1t, Is to be redeemed in gold, as must be She
case with the single gold standard.
