A SERMON THAT NO NAN CAN

THE KINGS CONDITION

The denial by the London Lancet
that King Edward had undergone an
operation for a cancerous growth in the
throat is generally accepted in England
as authentic. The revised statements
that are now going about as to the
Kings condition are to the effect that
he is, or has been, suffering from
smokers throat" The first alarming
symptom was the appearance of blood
The King, fearing cancer, caused spec
ialists to be summoned. A thorough
diagnosis failed to reveal trace of can
GER. They decided the trouble arose
from smoking and at first prescribed
complete abstinence from tobacco. This
treatment, however, seemed so severe
to the King, who has been very devot-
ed to tobacco, that the daily allowance
of cigars was greatly reduced, and
cigarettes were positively forbidden.
According to the late reports, there
fore, the people were right when they
declared that the King was ailing, but
wrong, when they endeavored to be
more specific.

AN ECHO OF THE GOAT SHOW

The goat show in Kansas City at
tracted SO much notice, and was so
successful, that, as the Kansas City
Journal puts it, the Hog men are
waking up" Well may they awake.
Shall the Angora goats, animals COM
and the hog whose flesh has helped
nurture a fair proportion of mankind
for countless ages be neglected? What
wonder then that plans are being made
for a grand hog show, next autumn,
to come at ABOUT the same time as the
Angora goat exhibit! The goats, prob
ably never again in Kansas City will
have the honor Of monopolizing the
attention of the citizens.
1t is said of the goat show that it
glory" Its patrons believe that the
goat industry has been placed on a
sound basis. A record in goat sales
was established. There was brought
together "one of the finest collections
of billies and nannies ever seen in the
United States" There was a banquet,
where goat meat was the staple ar
ticle of diet and was as loudly ae-
claimed as was the Belgian hare in its
days of prosperity" The reporter for
the Journal, continuing his disserta-
ton, says:
LAS a matter of fact, goat meat has
long been served up as mutton by I'M
scrupulOus dealers and has been eaten
as such with a relish, but the breeders
discountenance anything of this sort;
they declare that the goat is a food an
imal of high order; that its flesh is
palatable and delicate and they wish to
establish it upon its own merits, as a
steady article of diet. The show and
the banquet went long way toward
this end and next season the breeders
hope to have as relatively good sales
for goat meat, to Kansas City breed
ers, as the cattlemen made, this sea-
son.
But the goats were not considered
simply as animals whose flesh is good
TO eat. There We're shown fabrics as
soft as velvet, made of Angora wool;
carpets, rugs and other like articles
were exhibited; some were of the hide
taken from the goat, with all it's long
hair on: others were of the woven
wool, in varying shades. of great beau
ty. Those making the display said
they had more orders for the fabrics
than they could possibly make up"
Thus it win be seen why breeders
Of other animals than goats have
cause to be interested in the results
of the goat show. The sheep men, par
ticularly, one would suppose, ought to
be alert, as the Angora goat supplies
both flesh and fleece.

THE TRUSTS ARE
PERMANENT IN FRANCE

There has been so far practically no
direct legislation in Europe regarding
the industrial combinations, writes
Prof. ]. W. jerks in the International
Monthly for November. In France the
Penal Code has for many years forbid
den coalitions for the purpose of rails
ing prices, especially by fraudulent
means.
The situation in Austria seems to be
somewhat further advanced than in
any other European country = The
ministry OF trade and commerce took
the subject up for investigation and APP
pointed a special committee to consider
the advisability of legislation on the
general subject. That committee, after
having studied the subject for consid-
erably more than a year, has finally
made a report. This report ex-
presses the opinion that indus
trial combinations are in the
nature of permanent business organiza-
tons suited to the conditions of the
present day. and that. therefore. no at
tempt ought to be made to abolish them
but rather there should be given them
legal recognition and regulation.
1t is noteworthy that this committee
believes apparently that the final solu-
ton of the difficulty is to come rather
through publicity, through a thorough
study of the development of this indus
trial phenomenon, and through minor
regulating measures, affecting probably
the corporation law in part, and in part
the tariff and tax laws. than through
any drastic measures of a destructive
nature.

cZOLGOSZ'S STATE NOT ABNOR.
MAI


The conclusions reached by the ply
sicians who examined Czolgosz as to
his sanity tend to strengthen the idea
entertained by so many that the crime
had its origin in the violent teachings
of Anarchists and Of disreputable news
papers. According to the statements
of the doctors it would seem that
Czolgosz had simply become converted
TO dangerous doctrines. and had ac-
cepted them in all that they suggested.
Once impressed with the propaganda Of
the school to which he had been at
tracted, he had acted consistently. He
was perfectly sane, and, therefore, re-
sponsible in the fullest sense for his
crime.
.Czolgosz's physical condition was,
and had been, excellent He could not
be classed even as a degenerate, in
the scientific sense Of the word. All
the physical signs that indicate de-
generacy were lacking. He had been
rapable of performing normal amount
Of work: he had been sober and in
dustrious, and q believer in government
until he fell under the influence Of an

physicians, therefore. argued, were the
result of false teachings and not in
the least the result of disease.
The report continues: ION the ex-
animation we gained from him the
further information that for many
months he had been an ardent student
Of the false doctrines Of anarchy; he
attended many circles where the sub
iects were discussed He related how

the circle because he had changed his
views and did not agree with him and

the others in their radical ideas of
government. He had heard Emma
Goldman lecture and had also heard
lectures on free love by an exponent of
that doctrine. He had left the Church
years ago because, he said, he didn't
like their style"
The example furnished by Czolgosz
is for those who give free reign to
violent speech. They cannot tell how
deeply words spoken in bitterness and
hatred may sink in some mind and how
dreadful the result may be.
