THE PEACEABLE CITIZENS BUR-
DEN.
New York World. }

New York World
1t is interesting to speculate on what
the annual expenditures of the Leading
civilized nations will bs at the end or
even at the middle OF the present century
II they keep on increasing at the pacs
set by the nineteenth.
Great Britain's imperial government Is
now spending money, not including Boer
war expenses, at the rate of over $780,
COO. DO0 year. That Is an increase OF 400
per cent. for the last century and OF 81
per cent. since 1871.
France under the great Napoleon and
when he was carrying on his stupendous
wars was spending total OF $ss5, O0O, 600
a year. For 1909 her expenditures, in "a
time OF peace, were almost four times as
great Her population has increased less
than 80 per cent. since 1916, while her
annual budget has increased 400 per cent.
The German empire, created only thir
" -one years sgo. has nearly trebled the
total of its annual expenditures In that
short time. In 400 they footed up near
Iy $780, 600, 600.
RuEsia's ordinary expenditures have
risen from q little over $500, 900 goo in 1877
to 500, 20, COCO in 1900, and this takes no
account of the 81, 900. 000. 900 added to her
vast railroad debt within the last four
years.
Nor Is the United States behind In the
matter Of expanding expenditures. For
many years past the Federal treasury has
been paying out for pensions alone twice
as much as the total annual expenditures
of the government down to 1860. since
President buchanan time our yearly
national expenditures have Increased
from less than $40. 600 COO TO over sou. O00,-
900. That is to say, they have been null
tiplisd seven times, while our population
has BEEN multiplied two and half times.
Ii this enormous increase in the yearly
disbursement OF all the leading govern
ments of the world represented only or
chiefly money spent TO build railroads.
dig canals, improve harbors, maintain
public schools ana promote the arts and
sciences, the growing burden of taxation
which 1t implies might be borne with pa
thence. But 1t mostly represents in Eur
opean budgets, and very largely In our
own, money sDent In war and in prepa-
ration for war. And ali war Is waste.

A bin has been Introduced in the legis-
Ieture to increase tle salaries of the
Slrreme judges to $500 PER annum. A
Dill of similar tenor was Introduced In
the lat legislature, bet the prothts
again it were SO many and so loud that
it was Tina ,ly dropped. 1t is net like
ly that public ssntlmert has changed
materially on the question within the patt
two years, and the probability is that
there will be as vigorous opposition now
as then. Four thousand dollars does. not,
however, ssem to us an extravngant
salary.

Portland takes a special interest In the
convention OF ths Yong Peoples Society
OF Christian EndeAvor, which began last
evening, because Portland is the birth
place of the movement, which in twenty
years has become world wide, ana now
rsckons It's Rdhersnts by thousands
and tens of thousands in every civilized
country on the facs of the globe. In his
admirable address last syenlng DIR. Clark
narrated the origin of this society, it's
objects, what 1t stands for and what 1t
looks forward to. No religious society
ever had so phenomenal a growth before.
When 1t was formed at the Williston
church in this city it consisted of nfty-
seven mem terra. To-day Its memb srship
is three ane half millions, and it has
not reached its majority yet. Such ex-
traordinary growth could not have been
possible except to a society that filled a
want and the principles amt pur-
poses Of which appealed instinct
lively to the aspirations of the
young. Entering upon the twentieth
century in full vigor and with
boundIess enthusiasm In its chosen work
the possibilities OF doing good before 1t
are almost limitless. During the session
In Portland many brilliant speakers will
recount the wonderful story Of the So
Ciety. and stimulate it to new activities,
and this ought to prove one of the most
profitable meetings 1t has ever held Its
surroundings are all inspiring.

BRIEF PARTICULARS.

The Fraser Mountain claims have been deyel-

10 900 feet, and by actual measurement We have

While we fail TO see any good reason
for submitting the prohibition amend
ment to the public again at this time.
inasmuch as there is M evidence of very
much change Of sentiment in regard to
it and Iesubmission would therefore In
volve useless turmoil and expense, we fail
at the game time to see why resub mis-
sion should be regarded as a blow to pro-
hibition. Certainly a reimbursement OF
the amendment would not hurt prohibit
ton, but help 1t, and a reimbursement
Is what in all probability 1t would be.
Perhaps tie intent of those favoring RS
submission Is to break down this law, but,
IN our humble opinion, the worst way In
the world to do 1t is to resubmit the
amendment at the present time.

whole tunnel is now In high grade ore, that the
road has been blocked up with II, and. acting on
his advice, the company has contracted for a
water Jacket smelter, 20 reduce the ores coming
from this tunnel. which have been formerly
shipped TO the Pueblo Smelter.
This smeIter Will be completed and in
operation by the latter part of next
April, and will yield profit OF 100000

1t is however. for the purpose of installing
the larger plant of 900 tons daily capacity that
the present offering OF stock is made. There is
no question regarding the quantities of ore
available for reduction. Mines are now in ac-
tual operation. Tunnels are already driven.
This together with the reputation OF its officers
who are men of experience intelligence and

luck that wins. but prefix the let

winning power that yields over
the hand of success. There is no
word in the English language that

have had ever so humble a home,
his opportunities may have been
ever so few and his life may be

he will blossom like a summer

An Old Bale of Cotton.

Terry Sherrer, of Wilkes county,
Georgia, has a relic in the shape OF a
bale OF cotton which was packed during
the war. When it was first packed
Mr.. Sherrer placed it upon his wagon
and took it to Washington, the county
seat, expecting to receive 40 cents per
pound for it. When be reached
Washington he learned that the market
was off and that he could not get a bid
of 40 cents. He refused to part with
the sta ple for less money than the
expected price and returned home
with his staple to wait for the market
to advance. That day has come
and Mr.. Sherrer has seen the day thai
it would not have brought 5 cents
yet he still asserts that nothing less
than 40 cents will buy the staple
Since that day it has been found neces
sary to recover the bale a number o
times.

Tho hen Is said to add to the wealth
of America every year in eggs as much
as the entire output of both iron and
wool, S135 5000, 900.
According 10 statistics it has been
shown that 40, OO0, 900 eggs are used by
the calico print works each year:
Photographic establishments use
millions of dozens, and wine CHARTERS
callrfor 10, 1000 900 dozens. The demand
from these sources increases faster
than the table demand. They are
used by bookbinders, kid glove
manufacturers and for finishing fine
leather. Dried eggs are being put
upon the market. Fresh eggs are
broken and churned by machinery, and
the mixture is then evaporated to dry
~ness-they are claimed to keep indef.
nitely in this form. When cooked
with hot water in various ways they
are said to taste exactly like fresh
eggs. 1t therefore promises to become
an important industry, and evidently
will not require an expensive plant.

What a Thimble Full Of Brains

A thimble full of brains well
concentrated upon one subject
will work wonders and will CLEAN
from the dark corner those
thoughts that arelaid to the great
masses. So if you wish to be wise
learn one thing well and be con-
tented to be ignorant OF a thous-
and others. No one can make in
life what he does not want to be,
and he cannot make anything
without an effort, and this effort
must be repeated a number OF
times, then the coveted thing will
become a part of himself, will act,
walk, talk, and live with him
This then is not borrowed, but d

BETTER THAN cotton

Mr.. j. H. Bruister, one Of the best
farmers in this country, killed the boss
shoat of the season q day this week.
1t was two and a half years old, meas
ured 7 feet 8 inches in length, 8 feet
6 inches round the body, and weighed
$50 pounds net. Nearly $50 pounds OF
lard was realized from this hog.-Choc-
taw Herald.
This hog would have been worth on
the market, the equivalent OF Il bale of
cotton that required Il man, a mule and
three acres of poor ground one year to
make.
AT the market price of dressed meat
in Meridian, ~deducting a s~hrinkage OF
$50 pounds on account OF lard rendered,
the carcass would have been purchased
for $l5. At the prevailing price OF
kettle lard, S-l4 cents, for $50 pounds,
the hog will figure up $500, and If to
this the laro is raised to ten cents, al
home made lard will sell, the pig wa:
worth $40. 90 to Mr.. Brrister.
