SOUND DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE

The doctrine propounded bv Mr.
Varian. Republican of long standing
when speaking in support of his anti
credit clause for the state constitution.
is good sound Democratic doctrine IF
is encouraging to see it advocated bv
a pronounced Republican.
Mr.. Varian's proposition reached
only as far as to prohibit the state
or any political subdivision of the
state, from lending its credit in aid
Of private corporations or companies
and taking stock in them. But his ar
gument went great deal further. He
said:
The opportunity was at hand to de-
clare that neither the state nor anv
part of it shall ever burden the prom
erty of the people for anything but a
public purpose. Let US realize that if
is our duty to guard and protect the
public revenue and credit so that
those who come after us may have the
same assurance as we, that the prop
erty of the people, wrested from them
by the necessities of government, must
be devoted to public purposes alone"
That is straight Democracy. It is
also sound political economy. It is
what has been advocated by The Her
aid continuously. 1t is the only safe
financial course for the state to pur-
sue. The idea that taxes may be i'm
posed for specific purposes and then
diverted to other objects. is so palpa-
bly, wrong that it is strange. any one
unless interested in some scheme to
bleed the public would dispute it's fall
lacy.
The enunciation Of the principle that
public revenue and credit must be de-
voted to public purposes alone, does
credit to the gentleman's sagacity.

sas Degrees Below Zero.

Sir George Mares and DR.. Man.
sen, while exploring in the arctic
regions, often endured cold equal to
65 degrees below zero F., and on one
or two occasions both lived through
"cold snaps" which sent the spirits
in the thermometer down to almost
80 below the zero mark. If all con-
ditions were favorable, it Is highly
probable that a well constituted hu-
man being could live for some little
time in temperature 100 degrees
below zero. But should some freak
of nature cause the temperature to
fall to 1928 degrees below zero, the
point set tupon in the dead line, what
would be the result? AL animal and
vegetable life would Immediately
disappear from the face of the globe,
and the atmosphere would become
liquid and fall in the shape of rain,
covering the earth to a depth Of sew
eral feet. Of course there is no dan
ger of anything of the kind happen
ing, but if it should the fate Of the
human race on this planet would be
the same as though it had been
treated to the bath Of fire and brim-
stone which many believe will final
" put an end to our race and de-
stroy Goods footstool. 1t would
