ETIQUETTE IN ILLINOIS

They are sticklers for etiquette in I'LL
nois. The Manual of Manners, Is second
only to the Bible and In Decatur, it is
sometimes a question which comes first
The choir leader In fashiona BILE church
In the Illinois city has been forced to re-
sign. simply because he forgot the rules
which polite society prescribes for special
occasions. The matter was so simple that
there was no occasion for the biunder and
the offense could not be condoned~ 1t ap-
pears that the master of the choir and his
better half differed radically In their
views. The wife called her lord and mas
ter liar and he responded by slapping
her. Even In Guthrie, Okla, or Hope
Ark. this course of action would be rec
ognized as reprehensibe On page twenty
three of Social Hints for Choir Lead
ers'' the proper reply when lady calls a
| gentleman liar is plainly laid down
Nothing SO undignified as a slap is per-
missible. The thing to do is to ask her
If she means what she says. If the reply Is
in the affirmative. she should be choked
| until she Is willing TO apologize.
| But the important point is not the prop
er procedure In any perpIexing set of So
| cial circumstances. That can be learned
from books. and the most recent statis-
| tics show that the sale of pubiica tions
| on social forms in Illinois Is second only
to the total for the. Indian Territory.
The essential Is that the people of ILL.,
nois not only know what is what, but in
sist upon the observance of the rules of
social life. The East has jeered at tn.
| West for its lack of care in this direction.
The action of Decatur is ample reply to
| all these gibes and filings. 1t is now ap-
parent that in the West as well as In
the East gent must conduct himself as
a gent or feel the hand of social dis
pleasure fall heavily upon him. The sneer-
ing cities of Gotham, 1t is to be hoped

Against the Sugar Bounty.

L dTAi, SLOCK ana Home.
1t Is a pleasure to note the widespread
sentiment throughout Minnesota, voiced
by the country press, In opposition to
tne principle OF bountygiving by the
state to any business or industry The
principle of subsidizing at public expense
few individuals. to prosecute business
that Is hopeless of success without A
SUBSIDY Is foolish. 1t is unscientffic In
That 1t is an expenditure of energy along
the line OF the greatest instead Of the
least resistance. The practice of bounty
giving never could be justified nor never
can be. except for the promotion of the
kind of production or manufacturing that
can be prosecuted most easily and cheap
ly In Its locality That would be no ex-
penditure of energy along the lines of
least resistance. and hence the most rea-
sonable and profitable. In Minnesota.
for instance. 1t would be wiser to pro-
mote at public cost wheat growing, butt
making, beef and other production for
which the state is well adapted, than to
promote any industry that Is so lily
adapted to the natural conditions Of the
state that it is confessed at the outset
that 1t can succeed only by being made
charge upon the public purse But no
one would think for moment of trying
to justify bounty given In Minnesota for
wheat. butter or beef production. then
how can bounty giving to production uri-
adapted to her conditions be justified?
II 1t were ever possible to justify bounty
giving 1t was before the existence of the
present cheap and rapid means of trans
pOrtation. In the early future the enc
mics of MinnesOta'S governor will find
that he butlded stronger than they knew
when he put himself In opposition to the
principle OF bounty-giving by the state.

thority to protect the rights of the state.
and 1t remains to be demonstrated
whether In this matter two members In
committee can unreasonably assume to
dictate against reason and against q pub
lie privilege by preventing a wise meas
ure from. reaching a vote. So saA ,s
1t is suggested that the only way now
open is to place the interests of the state
in an amendment to the general appro-
priation bill in order that the governor
may be provided with a necessary fund
to- preserve the park from spoiation
and ruin.

The secretary of agriculture Is irving
TO follow in the footsteps of his fmmedi-
ate predecessor, but he has to stretch
his legs to keep his feet in the tracks.
Secretary Morton brought down on his
head the anathemas of congress and tho
opposition press because he held that the
law required the appropriation for buy
ing and distributing seeds to be devoted
to getting seeds that were new or rare
Congress tied his hands up tight in the
next act, but we now find Secretary VIII
son confiding to reporter of the Sun
that he shall spend only $71,OOO of the
NSo.OOO appropriated. In the purchase of
common seeds for congressman to coddle
their constituents with, the remainder
being used to buy new seeds and plants.
native to other countries but either un-
known here or of a. quality superior to
ours.
The secretary heard that, in the hot.
dry valleys of Afghanistan, there grew
muSkmelons whose size and flavor ex-
ceeded those raised in any other part OF
the globe. Whereupon, he says, he post
ed an agent off to Afghanistan, and he
gathered up a large quantity of the seeds
of this luscious and delicious vegetable,
and the department will be happy to sup
ply all requests made for seed. Then
he has found that Gala lilies from Ber-
muda are far and away superior to those
grown on our plebian soil, and he has
bought 800 bulbs and distributed them
through the South. He found that Cali
fornia fig trees did not fertilize, that the
trees We're barren, but that In Smyrna
the trees never fail to fruit SO another
agent was dispatched to that country to
ind why this was thus there, and he
found that there is a peculiar bee there
whose especial business 1t is to distribute
the pollen of the fig blossom. But the
Smyrnites objected to letting the agent
take away their precious bees and re-
fused to sell any. Fertile, however. in
resources, he "swiped" a twig on which
some bees had gone to roost. If that is
the right term, and brought them away;
but they all died en- route, and some 9TH
er agent will have pleasure jaunt over
seas to Smyrna to twig away some more
fig bees. Well. the money may as we'll
be spent that way in any other, if It
must be spent.

Deming and Senator Myron have, respec-

Won't Wear the Trusts Yoke.
Harper's Weekly

per = Wcchty
What we need more than laws which
restrict and prevent the format ton OF
trusts are laws and courts that will hold
them to a high standard of honor that
will prevent misuse of their power, and
that will especially prevent their op-
preston Of individual competitors. There
is no valid argument against trusts if
they stick to their proper work. do that
work honestly, treat the individual just
ly, and keep corrupting hands off OF poll
ties 1t seems to us time to say these
things while so many trusts are forming.
The individual who overthrew- kings and
the feudal system will not remain for
ever under the yoke of any power. 1t
then behooves the state to change its
laws to meet the new social and economic
conditions, TO the end that organized
capital shall be restrained by the gov
ernment instead of constraining its legal
orga anizer The most serious threat at
present of socialism lies in the possible
and sometimes actual tyranny of trusts.

John A. T. Hull In North American Re
view.
The greatest trouble we found in the
late war was in the staff Congress had
been for years gradually cutting down
the staff, until we did not have enough
trained officers to take care for any in
crease In the army. All at once our army
was expanded from 2e.610 to 260000 men.
This required an immense increase of
every staff department. The new officers
had to be taken largely from civil life.
The regular army was short of officers
many companies having been reduced by
detail or staff assignment to one commits
stoned officer to the company This great
mass of raw material could not be made
effective all at once. A man without
training could not make a good quarter
master or commissary in a week. The
regular force worked day and night to
supply the army and educate the new
men. But when men and officers are
both inexperienced, trouble may be look
ed for. This was the case in nearly ev-
cry brigade in the army.
