A Great Mans Motto.

It Is said of tfe great Swedish bot
anist and scientist, Linnaeus, that he
had placed over his door the motto,
"Live innocently, God is present"
LiDnaeus was busy man, and during
his life classified and named all the
known plants and animals ofthe earth,
besides writing a great many books
on plants, natural history and science ;
but he knew where to look for success,
and believed that the only usefnl life
was Christian life. Begin ming in
poverty he was lifted above want by
his marked success in his profession
and he often told his friends that he
was grateful to God only for the great
success he had attained, counting his
own work nothing compared with the
assistance God had given them.
If God helped Linnaeus for being a
Christian in bis profession, he will help
us at home, in the office, and in what
ever we undertake to succeed.
If we keep before US the motto,
"Live innocently; God is present." it
may save us many a regret when
another year closes. 1t is constant
check-reign, guiding us to the right.

Every time we tell the story of the

The ancient proverb says; "You
cannot get more out Of bottle than
you put in" That's an error. Be-
sides what he put in. he can get a
headache sick stomach, and perhaps
10 days in the lookup.
If there were no foes to face, no diff
ticul!ies to overcome, no obstacles to
surmount, progress in Christian life
would he impossible. Uninterrupted
peace ana prosperity is fatal to advance
ment. Exemption from trial is stag
nation. The promise of royal dignity
is "to him that overcometh."

Observe what direction your

Our New SIumber Barometer.

Recent events have developed one of the causes why
the antitrust law not enforced and also the reason Tor
the active prosecution of Cuban conspracies In short
they have made known the fact that the Attorney Gen
erals Office is a sort of official slumber barometer
which indicates the wakefulness of its inmates When
there bustering expeditions to SUPPRESS moon
sinners exterminae they wary and watchful
pack of coyotes let the information reach
their that trust is being formed agreement
made to advance prices and they will sink into slunber
with sopor6c gentleness that to be pre-
ventive against official insomnia.
Two weeks ago the coal barons organized a combine
to put up prices and plumber and the
ment had the effect of causing the Attorney Generals
office to ta into the arms OF dev1-hsh Morpheus Day
before yesterday information published that Cuban
steamer had been seized and number Of hlibusters
arrested and sent to Jail 1t done by order OF the
Attorney General and know that he and his
associates awake and will doubtless remain so until
they receive another tip on the doings of trusts.
Almost everybody knows that the existence of trusts
in violation of the law and that they serious det-
rimen to public welfare 1t might also be said that their
INJURIOUS effect compared to the harm inflicted by Cuban
hbustering is the consequences of compared to
results of dog fight and that the Attorney General is
wasting considerable official energy prosecuting Cubans
when he might become public benefacor by waking up
to the Importance of enforcing the antitrust law.
In order to prosper according to the boundless re-
the country affords should be put
of the necessares of life at the lowest possible COST but if
these various products must continue pass through the
hands of trusts there little hope for their becoming
cheaper. 1t seems like shameless state of affairs when
the OF great nation will permit its people to
be pundered by extortonate prices when might be
vented and there will be redress unless such rustul

posed from authority.
If it is not considered impertnent THE TINES would
like to know what has become of the resolution of inquiry

Let the information be made public, it might be we'll

HE members of the Wisconsin dele
cation in the House have not yet
ceased perspiring blood because OF the
fright received by reason of the pro-
posed speech to be delivered by Mr.. Linton
i'll regard to the statue of Pere Marquette,
now awaiting unyeiling in Statuary Hall.
Mr.. Linton had prepared some very
drastic remarks, not only referring to the
statue but critiCisng the State of Wis
consin for making such a selection for
this purpose. II goes without saying, OF
course, that if the State had been assailed
the delegation would one and all have been
in duty bound To offer Il likewise vigorous
defense. There was hustling to and fro
and Mr. Linton was prayed and imp!orcd TO
so modify his remarks as to obviate the
necessity for any defense of the State by
its representatives. This be finally con
sentcd TO do, and in consequence of this
agreement his speech lost much of that
sensational character which had been au-
ticipated

Congress has the power TO meet both these
requirements. The declaration by Con-

Instead of n campaign Of education
among the people there should either be a
better understanding in Congress on the
financial question. or a prop pu; in the
spinal column OF The man at the White
House Suppose he should announce 10
the gold gamblers that there would be no
more bond issues, would the result be
harmful? The New York Chamber of Com
mercc and other business organizations,
would use their influence to prevent a run
on the Treasury gold, and it is doubtful
if the financial interests of the country
would allow the Treasury 10 begin the
work of redemption In silver.
II q silver basis would prove so ruinous
as financiers predict they have power to
prevent such an alternative without de-
manding the creation of an enormous public
debt through a series Of bond issues. These
would-be educators of public sentiment
have enough gold OF their own TO settle
their trade balances abroad, and if the
worst came they could better afford to
supply the Treasury without demanding in
tereSt money for its use than to suffer
loss through the adoption of a silver basis
There are now over 100000, 900 in
