Sugar magnate Havemeyer's artless

lie declares that trusts are the product
OF protective tariff. all but the Sugar
trust that is. lie declares that the ob.
ject of a protective tariff is To rob tho
people and that the trusts are simply
the instrument of the robbery Accord
ingly, he says the thing to do is not to
pitch into the trusts. but to abolish
the protective tariff though the Sugar
trust and the modest tax on its pro-
duct ought to be let alone. Contrary

clares that sugar has been treated
shamefully by Congress. while all other
products have got all their producers
asked for in the way OF duties. This
seems 10 indicate how easily il is for
popular opinion 10 be led astray. II Mr.,

Of history TO find that all intellectual
and artistic progress has been preceded
by period of material prosperity. But
looking at the subject from a narrower
point Of view, we find that science by
demonstrating the possibilities of know
ledge has not eliminated the blighting
influence OF skept csm. but has done
much To instill into the hearts Of man
a deep spirit OF reverence for the great
universal soul.
We can but imagine that when the
spirit OF science shall have invaded
every department OF human life. the
ideal state Of living will have been
reached. IA state wherein not only
small effort will be required 10 minis
ter To the physical wants. but i'm which
the spiritual nature of man shall be
duly exalted. We can imagine-and
this not I'm the distant future that
science shall go engraft itself into the
processes of life that 4 shall purge
all monstrOsities and superstitions from
our religious notions and reconstruct
for us the Christian faith upon a scien-
tfic basis"

The report that the conference at The
Hague is discussing a change in the in
sigma Of the Red Cross indicates that
that august body is getting down to tri-
vlalities for lack OF accomplishment OF
things OF serious purpose. The sign Of
the Red Cross was originally adopted
as compliment TO switzerland, the
originator Of the society. having been
a Swiss and the first convention FOR
its organization having been held in
Geneva. The Swiss national colors car
ry the design OF a white cross on red
field and the Red Cross flag simply re-
verses the colors. Today It is known all
over the world and stands on its own
merits. The proposition 10 change fl,
though made by SO distinguished a con-
vention as that at The Hague. sounds
rather silly. IL not impertinent.

niCipal government is intended, but
they are secured at an expense out OF
all proportion To the benefits received.
Whether this is due to the fact that
cities are the special spoil of political
parties is a question which / VIII not

1T Is sufficient to know that the eX-
istence of such a condition of affairs
has brought into being municipal
leagues i'm all the more important cities
of the country. These organizations
disregard ahlhation To political parties
in the management Of local affairs and
strive TO secure economy and efficient

the present evils. In the national and
local conferences of these bodies, the
best means for securing strictly non
partisan and scientific administration
are discussed and steps are taken 10
