A Novel Idea.

One of the most novel ideas that
has yet come under our observation
is the proposition to do away with
what are known as department
stores by legislative enactment. The
idea appears to us as being fully as
absurd as it is novel.
The merchant who sells silks, sat
ms, ginghams, prints, and muslins is
not prohibited by the constitution
from also furnishing his customers
with boots and shoes, hats and caps,
tea, sugar, coffee and other groceries,
and he could even sell threshing rigs
occasionally without violating any
Of the provisions of that time-hon-
ored document. Then, should the
same merchant wish TO sell clothing.
hardware, harnesses, or a few simple
harmless family remedies in the line
of patent medicines, it would be a
queerly constituted Supreme Court
that would deny his inalienable
rights to do so. The fellows who
want the Legislature to close depart
ment stores because they cannot
compete with them are advised to
retire from business and make an ef-
fort to strike job at something else
which promises better returns.

Veterans and pensions.

The annals of history contain few
if any more striking illustrations of
patriotic and self-sacrifcing devotion
to the cause of country than that
which was exemplified by the loyal
people of the United Stated during
the dark days of 1905. The at
tack made upon Fort Sumpter by
armed foes of the government was a
commencement of hostilities destined
to be far-reaching in its effect, and
destined to put to the test the fidel-
ity and heroism, as well as the sub
sequent magnanimity, of the people
of one of the most enlightened and
progressive nations of the earth.
This test was one of great severity,
but it was bravely and successfully
withstood. From the farm and
workshop, the store and the office,
and from all trades, professions and
occupations, sprang hundreds of
thousands of brave men in response
to their country's call, leaving be-
hind them all that life held dear, to
suffer the dangers, exposures and
hariships of the camp, fatiguing
marches, battlefield and prison-pen,
that their country might live.
The sacrifice was an awful one, a
fact to which the decimated ranks
of gallant veterans bore ample testi-
mony, and for this sacrifice a CRATE
ful nation promised to make all the
PREPARATION in its power. However
great this PREPARATION might be it
l7uld never compensate for the an
guish experienced by the widows,
orphans, fathers, mothers, brothers,
sisters, and other loved ones of those
who fell in battle, died in hospitals,
or persisted in prison-pens, nor for
the wounds and shattered constitu :
tons of those who survived the
great conflict and returned to their
homes with their natural expectancy
of life shortened by at least decade.
The only recompense which the
government can make for the heroic
sacrifices of men now living who
risked their lives for its perpetuity is
in financial way, and a movement
is now on foot having for its purpose
the securing of a service pension OF
SIS per month for AL honorably dis
charged unpensioned United Sta5es
soldiers who served in the late war
The number of such veterans now
under the age Of so years is very
small and it is probable that their
average age would be 90 years OF
more. This, taken in connection
with the fact that their natural long.
evity has been shortened a number
of years because of the h rdships to
which they were exposed while in
the army. would seem to indicate
that the time has come when a pen
sion of this class should be provided
for. As the veterans are now all
upon The shady side of life, they are
rapidly becoming aged. An indisa.

Tolerance.

Were it not that the United States
is the most tolerant government
on the face of the earth, the reckless
freedom of speech INDUCED in by
some people would in q measure be
restri cted. Eugene V. Debbs, for
example, who is one of the most
dangerous agitators now abusing
the privilege of living in this coun-
try at all. He is man who has no
respect for law and order and whose
influence was so great in 1891 that,
but for the interference of the federal
authority, he wonld have absolutely
paralyzed every artery OF commerce
in the entire country and melted
rioting in all the larger cities. And
yet he is still permitted to go about
the country without hindrancc con-
tinuing his inffammatory harangues
against capital, and fomenting antag-
onism to the principles of good gov
ernment which will eliminate in an
other attempt to defy the power OF
the government. Ex-Gov. Altgeld
of Illinois and Mrs. Lucy Parsons
are another precious pair whose
contempt for the government of the
United States knows no bounds, and
they do not hesitate to let this be
known.
If the gang of anarchists who's &
headquarters are in Chicago should
be cleaned out, root and branch, by
the proper authorities it would be a
good thing for the nation as well as
for the anarchists themselves. There
ought to be a limit to free speech.
