lis a noteworthy fact that although
the gospel of peace hiss been proclaimed
throughout every nook and corner OF
Europe for nearly ., 900 years, that con-
tinent is to-day an armed camp from the
British Islands TO the Caucasus and
from the North Sea TO the Mediterra-

From the first Christmas day until the
latest one and upon every Sabbath In

peating the words first heard by Syrian
shepherds, "Peace on earth" This is
Christian precept. Now for Christian
practice. There is scarcely male child
born whose first present, after
the rattle and rubber doll, is
not a drum, a sword or a gun.
The gun is seldom loaded, which is
good enough, and the sword is made OF
wood, but the smallest child soon knows
that these things are meant to Kill
something or somebody, and ne hopes
to do something in that line when he
becomes big man,
When children are trained from the
cradle TO respects the rights and feel
ings Of others, they will not be eager
when they become men TO go out and
kill other men whom they have never
seen and who have never done them in
Jury. This is a slow process, but all the

without haste and without rest. But
this is the way TO the stars, and the
ladder to the highest heaven must have

The latter is being dispensed with by

of the knife bayonet. The bayonet was
a French invention. In the early days

A Determined Looking Buffalo Man Makes

A determined looking man came strid-
ing into the editorial room. He held a
bit of paper between the thumb and
first finger OF his right hand. II am
looking for the man who takes care Of
the statistics" he said sternly.
The figure manipulation was at his
desk. and the determined looking man
was escorted thither by the Office boy.
T he man took a long look at the bit OF

asked, What is the population OF the
city of Buffalo?"
The statiStician told him that 1t was
in the neighborhood of $4,000.
"Huhm grunted the visitor express
ivelv. Then he took another look at
the bit Of paper and asked, "Are the
officers OF the Buffalo Street Railway
Company reliable men?'

INCREASE or INSANITY.

The statistics ofinsanity in the United
states show an alarming state Of affairs.
The increase is far more rapid than the
growth OF population-the number Of
insane having doubled in the past twenty
years, while the population has increas-
co but 60 per cent. These statistics are
for both new and old States, town
and country native Americans as well
well as foreigners. A recent article
on the subject says:
The population OF Massachusetts iucreas-
ed go per cent. between 1873 and 1898. while
the number OF its lunatics mounted from
1915 Co 6 300 In Rhode Island, with an
increase OF 60 per cent. In population, the
insane increased fourfold, from $50 to COZ; ;
in Iowa. during the same period, from Go
20 9. 1856, in Kansas, from 22J TO 1850; in
New York from 1000 20 over $1,000; In
Illinois, from 64Z TO 1907, or $50 per cent.
III the collection Of the statistics on
insanity was as thorough twenty years
ago as TO is now, IL is evident that II this
ratio is maintained 10 will not be very
long before we become a nation OF lu-
natics. But there are things to take
into account beside the mere figures
presented by the asyIums and the sta
tisticans. our facilities are greater Cor
acquiring knowledge Of insane persons
than thoy were twenty years ago, and
thousands Of insane who we're then sim
ply sent to Jail are now humanelY sent
60 the asyums.
However, the present high pressure
Of American life is undoubtedly con-
ducive to insanity. We rush along at
too rapid a gait, and while the nation
may not be- twice as crazy as it was
twenty years ago, it has not by large
majority, as much common horse sense.
Ia the mad struggle for money ovsrwork-
ed brains are bound to give way, while
success in many instances means simply
dissipation and quicker mental collapse.
The remedy is a return to the simple
mode Of life of our fathers, but how are
we going 60 apply it?

Arresslne Anarchists.

LONDON, March IA close watch is
being kept upon all foreigners and Eng
nshmen who are suspected Of anarchist
ic tendencies. Early this morning the
police made a raid upon the Foreigners
Club in Grafton street, soho. Thirty
eight men were arrested and taken to q
police station, where they were closely
examined, with the result thatall but
five were discharged from custody The
ostensible reason for the raid was that
the club was gambling concern, but
the real cause is believed TO have been
the fact that many of the members are
anarchists. Ii is reported thai the po-
lice made q search OF the premises and
seized a quantity Of anarchist literature.

Pension Commissioner LOCHEEN has
a neat quiet way Of turning down his
lying partisan critics. Tt consists in
simply stating the truth.
That arrant demagogue, Congressman
MORSE, Of Massachusetts, the other
day, sent up to be read by the Clerk of
the House ana anonymous letter which
he had received, telling how COmmIs-
sioner L0cmEN had refused TO increase
the pension Of a veteran who was suf-
fering from q gunshot wound, and who
was the Pension Commissioners own
terminate I'm the army.
Mr.. LoCHBEN simply showed from
the records that it was not he but his
Republican predecessor, Commissioner
RAUN, who had refused an increase Of
this pension.
This is one Of many instances in
which Commissioner LOcHREN has
placed his critics in embarrassing posi-
tions, or exposed them in plain false
hood.
Judge LocHEEN is an old soldier and
his record is known, respected and ad-
mired He is brave, and it is evidently
bis intention TO protect to the best Of
his ability The true soldiers against the
frauds, the pension sharks and the
demagoCues Of the MORSE stripe, aud

honor.

NEW YORK, March l1.-Stock raisers
of New York State are aroused on the
subject of the existence of tuberculosis
among cattle. and 10 is proposed 90 call
upon the bureau of animal industry at
Washington 90 close quarantine an New
York State cattle pending thorough In

killing large number of cattle suffer-
Ing from this disease, tn au effort 60 sup
press it, but that owing 90 the l2ck of

Iiged torelax its efforts tn that direC-
ton. The action thus taken by the
Board has only gone far enough
90 arouse and excite cat
tie raisers who are now making
every effort to dispose OF their cattle
outside of the State of New York, thus
avoiding quarantine by the State

action ON the part OF stock raiSers is
spreading this disease broadcast
throughout the country. To was also
stated that many thoroughbred cattle
have been sent 20 distant parts OF this
country since the local quarantine by
the Board of Health mas been begun.
To learned from trustworthy sources
that the British government are inves-
tigating through special agents the eX-
istence OF tuberculosis in this State,
and that it is not unlikely that the
British government will close their
ports against the importation or
American cattle because of
the prevalence here OF this
disease. Cattle breeders at their meet
ing claimed that such action on the
