NEEDS A BILLION DOLLARS,

Washington, Nov. 25.-The total ap-
preparations to be made at the coming
session Of Congress, it is said by careful
observers, may be over billion dollars.
There are two features Of legislation
which will come up for consideration
before Congress during the session,
which will, if passed, call for a large
expenditure of public money. These
are an omnibus claims bill and a river
and harbor bill.
With the increased appropriations
for the army. and navy, and increased
estimates in all other branches Of the
Government service, with vast num-
Der OF private pension and public build
ing bills pending, with the Nicaragua
canal and ship subsidy bills and with
the claims and river and harbor bills,
IL is thought quite likely that the sum
of appropriations may reach the total Of
81 ,0o0. 100000

EASTERN FRUIT MEN COMPLAIN
Claim Californians are Trying to Con
troll Prune Business Direct to Europe.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE grocery,
jobbing and dried fruit trade had an
additional grievance against the Cal
ifornia Cured Fruit Association today,
when it was learned that prices for
export business had been cut one-half
cent on the -four Sizes under the
domestic price. The terms made will
prevent New York houses from export
ing otherwise than direct from Cali
fornia, which is regarded as an addi-
tional blow aimed at the Eastern
trade. Said a dealer yesterday: cit
is plain that the California packer and
jobber, with few growers in the
Santa Clara Valley, are trying to con-
troll the prune business direct to the
jobbers of Europe"
1t is estimated that the combine con-
trolls $500 cars, and that outsiders have
about 400 cars exclusive of Oregon
prunes). This shows conclusively that
the combine does not control the out
put. Prices were held back from the
Eastern merchants until September q
Then they wired quotations and terms
as follows: Sixty-nineties, in bags,
Santa Clara fruit, cents; Sonoma
and Napa, one-eighth cent less; San
Joaquin, one-fourth cent less less
2R per cent. on domesic business, 8
per cent. on foreign.
These quotations were cabled to Eu-
rope twentyfour hours previous to the
announcement to Eastern buyers. 1t is

We wish we could draw lesson from
the downfall of w. q. Cuthbert, who
was sentenced recently from Chicago
to the penitentiary, but the moral
eludes us. He didn't drink. He didn't
gamble. He didn't frequent the race
tracks. He didn't associate with dis
reputable women. He didn't use drugs.
What he did do, and this was his only
bad habit, was to forge checks and
notes. For which small dissipation he
was sent to Joliet. But perhaps there
is moral in this story, after all. Per-
haps crime is not caused by bad habits
and bad associations, but by criminal
tendency, and that one Of the manifes-
tations of criminal tendency may be
bad habits and bad associations. Ply
sicians Of the SOUL as well as physi-
clans Of the body, have frequently mis-
taken cause for effect.

A vigorous crusade against pro

A vigorous crusade against profanity
has been instituted in Washington.
D. @. In the interest Of morality and
good taste let us wish prosperous ca
reer to the movement. "Cuss words"
are convenient to those whose vocabu-
larry Is meager and whose stock Of ideas
Is depleted. But the man of mature
mind and dignity of character does not
need profanity to help him over a crisis.
Aside from the question of morals, pro-
family is to be condemned as vulgar.
Purity of thought is reflected in purity
of speech. No man who has as much
respect for himself as he ought to have
will disparage himself by using Ian
guage which does not express the best
that Is in him. "Let your communica-
tions be yea, yea, nay, nay" More than
this Is of evil origin. This is the same
as to say: Say what you mean, neither
more nor less. If your meaning is pure
and manly your words will correspond.

Superstition About Photographs.

The Formosan aborigines regard pho
Biography with strong superstition.
Toward the close of September last
the heir Of the chieftain Of a certain
tribe and several other young men Wis
tied the Toseikaku pacification and re-
clamation Office, and in the course Of
their stay they offered themselves to
be photographed. Lately several of
those young men appeared at the same
office and requested that their por-
traits should be returned to them, for
they heard to their surprise from the
elders Of the tribe that persons who are
photographed are in similar condition
as if their souls had been abstracted,
and hence they would be sure to suffer
serious injury. The only way to pro-
vide against this calamity lay in burn
ing all the photographs. The people
earnestly tried to undeceive the young
men, but without effect, and were
therefore obliged to give them their
photographs.
