THE RIVALS an THE STREET.

All day in the street there's tumble.
The people go hurrying past;
The proud and the careless and humble
At rnany a corner are massed,
And many a man in a hurry
Goes lodging the trucks and the cars,
With no inclination TO worry
Ger the state of affairs on the stars
Each hopes to eclipse all the rest
Who are pushing and rushing
along,
And the weak and the timid are
pressed
Aside by the bold ard the strong.
All day In the rush and the rattle
The contest continues, and ne'er
On the field of the bloodless battle
Were rivals more willing to dare
Than are they that go wildly pursuing
The maddening dollar all day.
Each ready to work the undoing
OF any who stands in the way
Each hoping to pass all the rest
Who are pushing and stumbling
along.
Where the weak and the timid are
pressed
Aside by the bold and the strong.
Far away from the racket, the riot,
Two men are asleep and serene
Where only the birds break the quiet
That reigns Ger the fiowery scene
But lately as rivals they hurried
Where the proud and the humble con-
tend,
And each Of them watched and was wor-
ried
Lest the other should win in the end
Each hoped to outstrip all the rest
That galloped or stumbled along
And the weak and the halt are still
pressed
Aside by the bold and the strong.

FEMININE SMOKERS.
Are Not So Numerous as Some Re-
ports Would Give Us to
Believe.

The talk about women smoking
course where there is so much smoke
there must be some fire, or at least
some ashes. But ashes of this kind are
difficult to find, and one looks in vain
for them in the smoking car, the pub
lie smoking-rooms, and even in pri-
vate dens. To hear the pessimists rave
one would imagine that it would soon
be necessary for the merchants to
consider the advisability of placing
warnings against smokers in their
stores, and that society ought to be
concerning itself with such questions
as whether lady is insulting gentle
man, by smoking in his presence and
whether she ought to removet the
firebrand from her mouth in passing a
gentleman, even though her husband
is not treated with the same consider

There never was time when wom-
en- did not smoke, when one could not
point to some antiquated dame who
secretly loved this vice. And many
staid matron of to-day can recall an
occasion when the bitterness of nico-
tine was more than balanced by
knowledge that she was tasting Of
forbidden, if fearful, joy. But as a
rule even the charm of forbiddenness
is not sufficient to tempt the feminine
amateur to further bitter delights of
this kind, and most women have re-
manned content with limited number

losophical view of the subject, and
who declare that, inasmuch as tobacco
is vegetable that has soothing eff
feet upon the nerves, there is no rea-
son why such tender nerved beings as
women should not enjoy this solace.
But it must be confessed that popular
prejudice is against these philoso-
piers, and the fact of feminine super
sensitiveness precludes the increase
in numbers of women smokers.

CAMORRA AND MALTA.
Differences Between These Two No
tOriOus Italian Societies Found
ed for Murder.

The Camorra belongs to the main
land, the Malta to Sicily, says II. d.
Sedgwick, Jr., in Atlantic. 1t is hard
for foreigner to understand the diff
ference between these famous bodies;
the Camorra is a society founded on
blackmail; the Malta is series of So
cieties, the outgrowth of ignorance and
impotent government. AS the lawsuit
between Casale and La Propaganda has
brought the Camorra freshly before
the public, so the legal investigation
to unearth evidence against Notar-
bartolO's murderer has made Italy
aware that she has another great So
cial problem in the Malta. Some ten
years ago the government banks "got
into politics." as we say; ''and among
others the Bank of Sicily was made
use of for private ends. TWAS enough
to be friend of friend of a, politi-
clan, for man to get loan on INSULT
cient security or at a very low rate of
interest; and a great many scamps
profited thereby. Public moneys were
wasted, and the penal code set at
naught. At last public sentimen was
aroused, and an investigation threat
ened. Signor Notarbartolo, an incor-
ruptible, capable, energetic man, who,
for unexplained reasons, had been re-
moved from the direction of the bank
Just before this criminal misuse of its
funds, was, by character and knowl-
edge, the very man to ferret out the
guilty and bring them to punishment.
The public turned impetuously to him
as the instrument of justice. Sud-
denly he was murdered. The hand
that struck the blow belonged to the
Malta; and obviously the heads that
directed the hand, fearful of discov.
cry, were able to use the Malta fo1 sc.
rious purposes at their need.

Cured of Catarrh of the Stomach
by Pe-ru=na

All over this country are hundreds
of people who are suffering from
catarrh of the stomach who are vast
ing precious time, and enduring need
less suffering. The remedies they try
only temporarily palliate the distress,
but never effect cure. Remedies for
dyspepsia have multiplied SO rapidly
that they are becoming as numerous
as the leaves of the forest, and yet
dyspepsia continues to flourish in
spite of them all. This is due to the
fact that the cause of dyspepsia is not
recognized as catarrh.
If there is a remedy in the whole
range of medicinal preparations that
is in every particular adapted to dys-
pepsia, that remedy is Peruna. This
remedy is well nigh invincible in these
cases.
DIR. Hartman, President of The Hart
man Sanitarium, Columbus, o., says:
Gin my large practice and CORE
spondence I have yet to learn of
single case of atomic dyspepsia which
has not either been greatly benefited
or cured by Peruna."
No one suffering with catarrh of the
stomach or dyspepsia, however slight,
can be we'll or happy. It is the cause of
so many distressing symptoms that it
is most dNeaded disease. Peruna acts
immediately on the seat of the trouble,
the inflamed mucous membranes lin
ing the stomach and lasting cure is
effected.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Pc
runa, write at once to DIR. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case,
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

LYNCHING INDEFENSIBLE

F. B. Roberts Of Lake City, Florida,
defends the lynching of rapists in "a COM
munication printed in another column.
Mr.. Roberts has nothing to say in favor
of lynching in general, but simply as a
summary punishment Of identified and
confessed rapists. He says as much as
can be said in favor OF lynching, but we
cannot recognize as valid any defense
of SO grave an offense against law and
order. The punishment of crime belongs
to the state, not to individuals or groups
of individuals; to the regularly consti
tued authorities, not to mobs. The essen
tial evil of lynch law Is the lawless spirit
it represents, which feeds on what it
does, until it has now come to pass that
less than 20 per cent Of the lynchings are
for rape, and some are for such a trivial
offense as "sassing' white man.
Lynch law is not justice. 1t is simply
revenge, often cruel and barbarous re-
venge, and has no perceptible effect what
ever in deterring from the awful crime.
What Mr. Roberts says about the re-
pugnance Of an injured woman to giving
testimony in such case and submitting
TO a searching cross examination is we'll
considered and suggests the need of a re-
vision Of judicial procedure in such cases
which will make simple proof of assault
or attempted assault and Identification of
the assailant sufficient evidence for con-
viction. AS for the laws delays and the
work of pettifogging attorneys, they call
for further revision of the judicial ma
chine, which could easily be effected if
the men who are so ready to lynch were
as strong in public spirit as they are in
vengeance. Let the people who fear the
rapist provide means for speedy justice,
and, if they wish, capital punishment.
But let them beware lest in unlawfully
Furnishing an unlawful act they encourage
and commit equally abhorrent crimes.

tion. But if thenr policies are dictated
by greed instead of fairness, severe con-
trolling legislation is bound to follow,
and if that does not succeed public own

vital question. Railroad managers and
owners must appreciate this fact. If they
do not they will be primarily responsible
for harsh legislation and the beginning Of
an agitation of public ownership.

Deposit THE SURPLUS

1t is difficult to understand why some
members Of congress should find fault
with the proposition of the secretary Of
the treasury to deposit the treasury sur
plus among the banks of the clearing
house cities. What would the impatient
congressman have done with the money?
Perhaps they think it will be easier to
raid the surplus under the guise of eX
travagant appropriations if it is actual
ly in the treasury vaults instead of on
deposit. Do they wish to have the money
pile up in the vaults and be withdrawn
from business circulation?
II Secretary Gage had said that he was
opposed to any legislation designed to pre-
vent the accumulation of a surplus at
the same time he made the suggestion ac-
credited to him, there would be ground
for impatience. But he is confronted now
with the problem of surplus actually on
hand and likely to grow larger. His So
luton of it is one that commends itself
as sensible. If the congressman who are
SO impatient would exert themselves to
secure a reduction of the unnecessary war
taxes still being collected they would be
in better position to criticize the dis
position of the surplus now on hand.

SNOW AND THE MORMONS

quently he was a leader in the great
Mormon trek from the Missouri river to
Utah, then Mexican territory, where they
believed they would be forever out Of
reach of the interference they had ex-
perienced in the United States. The reve-
lation they received as to location proved
defective, for il was not long before the
region where they had founded the Holy
City" was merged by treaty with Mexico
in the United States. Then the troubles
began which led to federal restrictions on
the ambition of the Mormon propaganda,
which, however, retains apparently as
much vitality as 1t ever had, even in its
hold upon polygamy, which was defined as
a religious duty in 1852, twenty-five years
after the organization of the church Lo-
renzo Snow was identified with all the
excesses of Mormonism, such as the DANTE
system of revenge and the bloody mas
sacre of immigrants on the plains. He
has lived comfortably in Salt Lake City in
the full practice of the details of the
Mormon faith, and has defied the federal
laws persistently and winked at the vio-
lation of the hypocritical state law
against polygamy. He has aided power
fully in the building up of the Mormon
political and religious machine, which is
not surpassed by the astuteness of the
machinery of the Jesuit
The Mormons owe to Snow a debt of
profound gratitude for his valuable
services. He was a man of good educa-
tion and reputed to. be deep thinker.
However that may be, Snow accepted the
curious metaphysics of the Mormon ma

elements of German panthesism, New Eng

and mechanical theory of Lucretius, all

MINNESOTA'S TRIUMPH

Minnesota has secured more honors at
the Pan American exposition than any
other state. Its state exhibits get two
gold, four silver, six bronze medals and
diploma of honorable mention. The two
most priced medals are those for educa-
tional and general agricultural exhibits,
the former being in recognition OF dis
play that is far ahead Of that of any other
state. 1t is also interesting to note that
the state gets as much honor as any other
state for its mineral display. The states
private exhibitors also make good show
ing in the award of medals, two Mime
apolis milling companies getting gold
medals for their flour. The outcome of
the butter competition can not be ascer-
.tained untid the end OF the present month,
but so far Minnesota leads. If the prize
falls to her she will then have an undis-
puted claim to official designation as the
bread and butter state.

The state forestry board has made a re-
quest of the tax commission that the lat
ter should give heed to. 1t is asked that
it be provided that all nonagricultural
lands forfeited to the state for taxes be
turned over to the forestry board and
made part of the states forest reserves.
A law passed by the last legislature aimed
at the same purpose, but its enemies en-
forced such changes in its verbiage that
its application can be defeated in every
instance where anyone concerns himself
to oppose it. Nonagricultural lands that
have been forfeited for taxes would not
be likely to be useful for any other pur-
pose than forestry, yet such use is not
likely to be made unless the lands are for
mally taken by the state and turned over
to the forestry board.

A LOGICAL RAILROAD STEP

]. J. Hill denies that there is any truth
in the report that an independent pro-
prietary company is to be formed to get
control of the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific and consequently the BurIing-
ton roads Yet in the evolution in rail-
ceeding so rapidly in this country such a
step would logically follow 1t will oc-
easion no surprise when it does come.
Such a corporation would control 200
miles Of railway and would hold a mo-
nopoly of railway transportation in the
larger part of the northwest. Practically
there is such a monopoly now, and the
merging of the three companies into one
would merely make it a little more ef-
fective.
A dispatch from New York discussing
the report says
Although the ti-consolidation laws of
Minnesota, Washington and the intermediate
states traversed by these two great transcon-
unental railways are comprehensive and
strict eminent lawyers have expressed the
opinion that there is no legal reason why an
independent corporation should not have the
custody of majority of th@ stock of the two
roads The railways must be operated sepa-
rately as competing lines, however.
It.is amusing to read statement made
In all seriousness, that two railroad sys-
TENS, owned by the same corporation
must be operated separately as compet-
ing lines At the present time the two
systems, though not owned by the same
corporation, can hardly be said to be
operated as competing lines, though they
are operated separately. That there
would be competition when the common
ownership is solidifed though there is
