The Westerly Sun has a very sensible
paragraph in reference to the laws un-
der which the state board OF health ex-
lists and exercises its powers. The par
agraph was suggested by the recent
decision OF the supreme court over
ruling the decision OF the state board
or health in refusing certificate of
admission to practice here of DR..
Stevenson:
THE law Is for the protection OF the
people, and not for the protection OF
any class or school OF physicians. IL
is the failure to keep this fact in mind.
clear and unquestioned. which has
produced most OF the disputes between
the board and the people. The state
is in favor of the law properly ex-
ccuted. but medicine lacks considerable
of being an exact science. and conse-
quently those who interpret the law
should exercise thf grestest care. TN
less they do so. there is serious danger
that she whole statute may be swept
or the books. The people are very
jealous of their rights to determine
who shali direct them In caring for
their physical ails.'

a Denver Republican reporter. "The
people on the train were mostly Repub-

prosperity. Inclined to be hostile. But
he had some friends who were anxious
to hear him speak. for when he drew
into the little station at Galiup, n. NJ,
there was quite a crowd collected TO
welcome the silver champion.
In response 60 their urgent invita-

speeches. The people applaudfd and
when the noise subsidized the mayor of
the town climbed up To the speaker and
presented him with large Navajo

Mr.. Bryan.
The train drew out. and Mr.. Bryan
deposited his gift upon a seat. going

BIBLE MIRACLES UP TO DATE.

A new educational idea has struck
THE good people who design the Sun

showing faithfully the customs and the
primitive ways that obtained at the

cred too deep for the young American
reared in "A fiat So. with the laudable
objec- of conveying the lesson effective

The card distributed among the chill

schools in Chicago week ago por-
trayed i'm vivid colors THE Daughter
of Jairus Raised from the Dead" II
was supposed to be a card typical OF
the new period Of advanced Biblical
teaching. The story of the raising Of
Jairus' daughter is to this effect: A
little girl was sick, and Jairus. her
father besought Jesus TO come and
make her well. The girl died before
Jesus came to the tent. Jesus went to
her side and spoke to her. She at once
arose. and, II is presumed, lived to
good old age.

The General Assembly at its recent
session made two appropriations OF
money, TO two charitable societies, or
to the officers thereof. which were
most worthy uses OF the public moneys
for two most worthy and useful socie-
ties, or officers. one of these appro-
priations was of 5000 for the Society
for the Prevention OF Cruelty 10 Chill
dren. or 10 its officers. The other TO
the st. Vincent de Paul Society, or for
it's officers for the sum OF s9l6. What
the News desires 10 know is how much
OF these sums went to the societies,
or to their officers. and who had the
remaining balance; did any money
stick TO the fingers of assemblymen,
and II any did stick who is the man?

Some one in Chicago asked the New
York Sun whether the daily newspa-
pers fairly represent the extent TO
which the American public is in ac-
cord with the teachings of Christ. The
Sun closes its answer with these words:
mo, they do not, for they represent
a closer accord with these teachings
than Is manifested by that public. They
are better than the public. and their
influence. as a whole. is to lead II up to
a higher moral plane" These are very
true words and they come finely into
line with our answer TO the charge that
the editor was not a Christian"

But this is why l cannot understand
the rise in the price of ice.
If cinch bugs, beetles, the gypsy moth
or cyclones have devasted the ice crop
why OF course less ice than usual will
be picked.
And accordingly 1t seems to me the
expense account would be correspond
ingly reduced for the head ice man
less freight. less labor fewer horses.
less storage. while the balance Of profit
would be about the same as usual.
Decreased expenses would just about
balance decreased gross income.
suppose / am wrong somewhere in
this calculation for after all the ice man
is like everybody else. he doesn't want
to make any more money than he cap
and is satisfied with big sales and large
profits.
But surely the mild winter cannot
have reduced the supply OF artificial
ice, which. as understand, grows just
as favorably in summer as in winter.
And artificial ice is up in price, too.
Over in New York they have an ice
trust. Here in Providence they have
the same thing only they don't call 1t
a trust.
But I never heard OF anybody invit-
ing bids for his supply Of ice with any
expectation that the heated competition
would result in any difference in the
bids.
