possible for him to carry a single state
north of Mason and Dixon's line, and hence
they read his defeat in his present pur-

heartcn his followers there with the latest
news of his own gathering about the en-

As matters are shaping themselves toward
the close of the campaign ii is difficult for
an observer to understand the confidence
of the democrats in their ability to carry
state like New York. The first thought is
that the expression of il is only buncombe,
INDUCED in to brace the game elsewhere
If sound money has any strength any
where it must be there If expansion
promises anything to the country. New
York, as the greatest of the states and the
seat of the money power. must receive
full share. New York is most vtally in
terested in the preservation of the authorf-
ty of the courts. Her f1OuriShing industries
have come up under the policy of protec-
ton. For what reason, therefore, should
New York go over to MIR. Bryan? What
reason, indeed, that would not carry nearly
every other thrifty state in the same di-
rection, Pennsylvania, almost, included?
Gov. Stone of Missouri predicts Il revolu
tion at the polls. 1t Will take just that,
one would suppose, to land New York in
Hlr. Bryan's column next month.

HaHiHE Mt West Point.

Col. Mills. superintendent of the Military
Academy. makes the gratifying announce
ment in his annual report that haZing was
almost unknown in the cadet corps during
the past season. For some years thought
fu: cadets and officers alike have been try
ing to discourage this sense.ess practice Of
humiiating and even injuring the younger
c.asSmen. But the institution had become
time honored and there was in addition
serious. cumulative difficulty in the way
As the cadet rose from the first stage to
the higher honors he welcomed the oppor-
tunty to revenge the hazing endured By
him as "plebe." He pounced upon the
latest comers and made them the innocent
proxies of the upper-ciassmen who had
been in their turn the tormentors. Thus
system of continuous vengeance was prac-
ticed. each new class suffering for the sins
of it's predecessors. The Whitaker case OF
a few years ago was perhaps the first Incl
dent to direct corrective public attention 10
the practice. The cadets in this instance,
in venting their race prejudice. it was
charged had resorted to cruelties which
shocked the public 1t was claimed. and in
part proved. that Whitaker had inflicted his
injuries upon himself, but the investigation
showed that crue. practices were in fact, in
did not go far as designation. A few
years later some of the cadets took bod
stand against hazing of any kind. They
discouraged even the petty humiliation of
the younger cadets which is practiced in
summer camps. the imposition by upper
c!assmen of ridiculous duties. the exactlon
of absurd Observances and the like. 1t was
but a feeble start and it did not seem to
prOgreSs But this same spirit was being
manifested in the colleges and gradually,
after few dsheartening seasons. the
West Point cadets were brought to see the
folly cf their hazing tricks. Officers who
had previously he'd aloof, fearing to add
to their disciplinary troubles if the practice
were openly attacked. in time became
champions of the new idea of treating the
incoming cadet with respect and courtesy
instead of allowing him to serve as mere
material for the amusement of the older
cadets. Col. Mills now reports that the
practice has virtually disappeared. 1t should
be easy to prevent its reappearauce. What
little can be said for it is far more than
offset by the arguments against it.. Par
ents have been known to fear to permit
their sons to attend the Military Academy
because of the humi!iating treatment they
would surely receive. 1t has been said
that hazing tended to develop the manii-
ness of boy by shaming him of peculiar
tiles. This plea has never been accepted
by opponents of the practice. who have
urged. with reason, that the strongest ap-
peal hazing could make to a boy was to his
spirit of vengeance and class superiority
1t is a custom the passing of which will
evoke but few regrets.

Once a year the health authorities of Ha-
waii journey from Honolulu to the leper
colony on The island OF holokal, to inspect
the victims of that scourge, listen to COM
plants by The sufferers, remedy defects in
administration and carefully note the pro-
gression OF the disease. Recently it has
been a custom to permit the relatives and
friends of the victims to accompany the Of
ficials on this journey TO grant them the
boon of reunion. The Hawaiians are an
affectionat@ people and suffer intensely
from separation from family and home and
this privilege has been highly priced in con-
sequence. II has been an unspeakable
blessing to the poor folk on Molokai, but 1t
has been regarded with disfavor by the
healthy white residents of the other islands,
particularly Oahu. on which Honolulu is
situated. Upon the arrival Of the official
steamer al Molokai the sick and the well
embrace each other without the least re-
gard for the danger of contagion and It is
the opinion Of medical authorities that the
privilege should now be checked IL the gov
ernment Is ever to succeed in eradicating
the disease from Hawaii.

for at high rate which, from financial
standpoint. was altogether out of proper
ton to their utter worthlessness, while the
lives Of men capable of creating enormous
values have been snuffed out and have
never been paid for at al. 1t is generally
felt, however. that 1t ia unsafe to permit
variable pecuniary estimate to be placed
upon life. and hence a maximum obtains in
most states. In the case in point the widow
of the 81, 500 man was doubtless far more
seriously in need of help than the widow
left his family in much worse circum-
stances than the latter. 1t Is easily to be
seen that as soon the principle of grad
uated vsr1icts in such cases Is established
there will be no end to the possibilities of
proof tending to expand the damages. Not
only might mans immediate income be
computed as part Of the equation. but his
added. Then, again. in defense the agency
responsible for the death might adduce tes-
timony to bear upon the financial status of
the survivors. their needs and ability to
sustain themselves, and also upon the prob
able capacity of the victim to live with con-
tinued prosperity had he not been cut down.
A never-ending tangle of possible evidence
and offsets might readily develop. The
safest view of such accountabilities would
seem to be to require the agency which
caused the death to pay a fixed sum for
every such fatality regardless of the cir
cumstances of the victim or the survivors.

The Value of Human Life.

A New York jury has just awarded the
widow of the victim of street railway ac-
cident $37 900 damages. The husbands in
come was $4,000 a year. On the same day
in the same court jury awarded the
widow of another victim of a street rail-
ways carelessness $150O. his income hav-
ing been about $1,000 year. The disparity
in the two cases Is attracting marked at
tention. particularly In view of the facl
that the usual practice in these damage
cases is to limit the award to So 900 maxi
mum. The ordinary doctrine of the law
is that human life is to be valued without
reference to the earning capacity of the
living person. This rule has worked In
justice in both ways. Individuals have

More Time and Money for Leisure.

The announcement of holiday rates on
the railroads SO long in advance of the
time when they will be called for is proof
of the growth of the holiday feeling among
the American people. They have been re-
preached by those Of other nations as q

take holiday. and that was true to a
certain extent, in the past. when they were

Congestion had seized him and death came soon to re- lieve his sufferings. His parents and family have been comforted in their great bereavement by the kindly minisuations of the good people of Perry county, who were untiring in their efforts to aid them ill their sorrow.
