WHAr rs COLONIAL K1pANsIoYy

Imperialism is the reign Of arbitra-
ry power. II is more than that. II
means that manner OF regulating and
administering government which ack-
nowledgee aud recognizes no limita-
tion or restraint. II is the snbstitu
tion OF the will for the law A great
man once said that 'law and arbitrary
power are IN eternal enmity," and
were he living today he would empha-
size that declation as a warning TO the
advocates Of Imperialism in America
Disguise it as they may colonial ex.
panfion is but another name for
European Imperialism The wise aud
thoughtful men Of America recognize
this and fear the dagger that turks in
the hidden folds OF colonial expansion

TUTIONdI,

TUTION1L,
The Illinois supreme court has de.
clded that city ordinances which pro-
vide that all city printing contracts
shall go TO printing firms only who
employ union labor, are unconstitu-
tional and void. The text Of the de-
eision is most enpho.ic against such
legislation. The court says: Such
a com bination or agreement is in vlo-
lation OF common rights and tends to
create monopoly and cannot be tol
Grated" This decision, which is in
accordance with a previous decision on
the same subject, knocks out the un-
ion label on the grounds that Il is
class legislation.

The curse of modern society which
strikes deep into every class is alcoholism.
Alcoholism must not be confounded with
drunkenness. says DR.. Bienfait, a Belgian
scientist. Drunkenness always existed,
but alcoholism, that passion of the masses
for alcohol and its sad consequences for the
individual, the family and society at large,
was almost unknown a hundred years ago
How did this deadly passion take its rise7
The dominant cause resides In the simple
fact that formerly wine was dear n
spirits anything but plentiful, whereas
within the present century Tor
quantity Of alcohol nave been dispensed
everywhere. The result has been u perfect
flood OF distilled liquors all the world over
within reach OF the poorest. Very cheap at
first, alcohol rose in price owing to the
heavy duties placed upon it. Yet the con.
sumption did not diminish. TIT laborer,
however poor, still intoxicates himself at
the cost of bitter privation to those de-
pendent Upon him. Man seeks In the use
of spirltuous liquors that happy dream
state which brings oblivion to worry and
casts a roseate hue over everything-not
that condition of complete inebriation
which sinks man lower than the beast, but
the agreeable sensation experienced after
partaking of even u small quantity of al
cohol, and which gives the illusion of un-
wonted strength and energy. That Ia why

"They do things differently in
France" Itwould seem hat even the
Paris rogues have learned to appreci-
ate this distinction and to live up to
it. The other day a lady went into a
store in the Rue Richelieu and pnr-
chased a silk dress. A man, we'll
dressed and of fashionable appearance,
entered the store behind her and
watched the transaction with a panied,
troubled expression. As the lady
drew a 200-franc note from her purse
to pay for the dress the stranger rushed
forward, gave the lady + box on the
ear and tore the note from her grasp.

stepped forward to lend a helping hand to

The speaker was red-faced and blear-
