sColoradoss Liquor Law and Suffrage.
The recent decision Of Colorado
judge declaring the law of that state
constituti onal which prohibited sa-
loon Keepers from selling spirituous
liquors to women has been used by not
few newspapers. as an argument
against woman suffrage and pointed to
as an object lesson showing the evil
effects Of it. Some of them editorially
ask such questions as this: s.Will 1t be
any better for politics to be controlled
by drinking women than by drinking
menY One would suppose that it was
owing entirely to the fact that women
were prohibited from drinking in the
saloons that they were not constant
patrons Of it and that now. since thew
had equal rights in the saloon as we'll
as at the ballot box, they would i'm.
prove the opportunity and become a
class of drunkards
IF there u.s." writes Elnora Monroe
Babcock, ''any lesson to be drawn from
this decision of the Colorado judge, it
is to show the beneficial effect of wom-
an suffrage, for if the women were at
one time so much worse than the men
that it was necessary to enact a law
forbidding saloon keepers selling them
intoxicants while permitting their sale
to men they have certainly been great
~ benefited by voting, as it is now con-
sldered safe to abolish this restriction.
"The only conclusion that can be
drawn from this libelous law is
that the women Of Colorado were phe-
nomenally dissolute at one time or
that the legislators who enacted this
law were phenomenal fools. While
women are not without their faults, at
no time in the history of this nation
have they been chargeable with drunk
enness, and for set of men to enact
laws forbidding saloon keepers selling
to women and at the same time allow
ing them to sell to the men, who are
the drinkers, makes one think Of the
prayer Of DR.. Lyman Beecher when
he said, % Lord, grant that we may
not despise our rulers and grant, o
Lord, that they may not act so we
can't help itv"
The law as it stands is libel at
least by inference, upon the women of
Colorado and should be promptly ex-
plunged from the statute books of the
state.

Fhe Giraffe,s Timiditx.

A giraffe is very timid on hearing
slight sounds, but is Indifferent to loud
ones. A writer in The Leisure Hour
says: "Noisy sounds, like man walk
ing by with hobnail boots, it does not
notice, but lady coming in with hard
ly more sound than the rustling Of her
dress makes it start, with pricked ears
and eyes distended We remember
well, after terrible explosion of gun
powder on barge on the canal, ask
ing the keeper of the CRATES of that
day how they had taken it, and he said
he was surprised how very little notice
they took. They jumped to their feet,
but almost at once lay down again
when they found nothing happened.
But" he added, "if were at night
time to creep along that gallery in my
socks they would be so scared that I
believe they would dash themselves to
bits" They fear the lurking foe, and
bling bang scares them less than a
faint, rustling sound. They are in that
respect very deerlike." r.. -

It is safe to say that the statistician
who estimates the loss to the farmers
from drought at $62o,o000 900, without
counting the losses on hogs and cattle,
has more interest in bulling the prices
of corn and hogs than in achieving a
reputation for statistical accuracy. No
doubt the disastrous effects of the pro-
longed drought and excessive heat in
some of the states of the corn belt
have been very great, but there is a
disposition in some quarters to exag-
gerate the extent of the losses for spec
>ulative purposes. As rule the gov
eminent crop reports are far more
reliable authority in these matters than
the guesses Of speculative statisticians

Our Trade With the Japanese.

The recent unwilling Of statue Of
Commodore Perry in Japan which COM
memOrates the visit of the American
naval officer to that country nearly so
years ago shows something of the cor
dial relations of the Japanese govern
ment and people and the United States.
The remarkable growth in the export
trade from this country to Japan gives
added evidence of that cordiality. -
The Japanese statistical report, en-
titled annual Return of the Foreign
Trade of the Empire of Japan" has
just been received by the treasury bu-
reau of statistics and presents the de-
tails of the imports and exports of ia
pan in the calendar year 1900 1t shows
that the imports from the United States
have grown from 100000 yen $3, 1885,
71D in 1893 to over 100000 yen $780,
~O42, 1886 in 1900 and that the United
States,' which stood sixth in rank in the
list Of countries from which Japan
drew her imports in 1893, is now Sec
ond in the list, being only exceeded by
Great Britain. In 1893 Japan import
ed from Great Britain 27,929,62S yen
worth of goods and in 1900 Il, 63S,219
yen. Going still farther back, it may
be said that in 1881 the United States
supplied 6 per cent and the United
Kingdom So per cent of Japan's i'm
ports, while, as above indicated, the
United States now supplies = per cent
and the United Kingdom % per cent.
With the growing friendliness and
increasing intercourse between the
United States and Japan we ought
soon to overtake our British rivals in
the race for JaDanese trade.

The launching of the battleship Maine
at Philadelphia was an event of public
interest, especially by reason Of the
fact that the vessel bears the name of
the famous ship sunk three years ago
by Spanish torpedo in the harbor Of
Havana. The new Maine is a larger
and moro formidable fighting machine
than the one which Captain Sigsbee
commanded. The original vessel was a
second class battleship, while the new
one is a vessel Of the first class, larger
and swifter than the Oregon or Massa--
chusetts. IT will have a displacement,
of 1850 tons, engines of 10000 horse.
power, speed of IS knots, at contract
cost Of $2,SS5,OOO. Like all the more
recent additions to our squadron of
first class battleships, it's main battery
will contain four IL inch rapid fire
guns. Its bunker capacity of 1000 tons
OF coal will give it long radius at sea.
When it is armed, equipped and nan
ned with it's full complement Of SIS
men and officers, it will be one of the
best naval vessels afoat The memora-
BILE associations attached to the name
it bears will cause the new Maine to be
followed with unusual interest through
out the career that lies before it, and
every American will hope that it will
have a less tragic and disastrous fate
than overlook its predecessor.

The Bureau of FOrestry,

The Bureau Of Forestry.
There has lately been created in con
nection with the department Of agri-
culture 9 bureau Of forestry with Mr..
Clifford Pinchot at its head, which IS
destined to play an important part In
the future Of the country. Heretofore
the agricultural department has done
much to aid the depar tment OF the in
terror in preserving the forests Of the
public domain, but the estab lishment
Of this bureau widens the scope Of its
activity in this direction. It's organiza-
ton was provided for by an act Of the
last session Of congress, which appro-
priated $185, 40 for the purpose. Its
field Of work will include the study of
forest conditions, the giving Of advice
to the owners Of forest lands as to how
they should utilize them and provide
for a renewal of their timber as fast as
1T becomes depleted, the supervising Of
numbering operations on tracts owned
by the national government and in 9th
er ways to check the reckless and in
many cases criminal waste. that mark
ed the treatment of American forests.
The bureau will be required to pro-
vide working plans for the 100000 900
acres of forest lands still owned by the
government. Forestry will be made a
practical and well regulated industry,
by which it is hoped that the present
lumber crops can be gathered without
injury to future ones. In this field work
there are now engaged about 200 ex-
perts under the direction of the bureau
Of forestry, and the work is being pros
ecuted in II states and will be further
extended. It is high time we began in
a practical and systematic way to pre-
serve our forests, and the movement
should receive both official and popular
encouragement.

One of the specially interesting ex.
hibits at the Pan-American exposition
is the Texas end Louisiana rice kitch-
en-, where that semitropical cereal is
served in many dainty and wholesome
dishes. Rice culture in those states is
becoming an important and extensive
industry. It is thought that in the
course of a few years the United States
will produce all the rice it consumes
and thus cut off one commodity from
the list Of large imports.

The hope has been expressed that

Virginia's Proposed Divorce Law

Vtrginia's Proposed Divorce Law.
The Virginia constitutional conyen-
ton makes an interesting and seeming
~ practical suggestion concerning the
divorce question. The resolution sets
out by reciting the fact that the state
has made itself party to and custo-
dian of marriage contracts by making
it necessary to get a license from the
proper state officials before the mar
rage ceremony can be performed. It
then asks for the migrating into the
new state constitution of provision
Requiring the general assembly to enact laws
making the commonwealth a party in all divorce
proceedings hereafter instituted in any court OF
this state, the commonwealth being represented
by its city or county attorney, as the case may
be, whose duty it shall be to inquire carefully into
all the facts, and If it shall be found that either
or both parties have been guilty of misdemeanor
or crime leading up to the breach Of marriage
{ they shall be indicted and punished as the law
may direct --,,-.+.s
Why is not this sensible and practi-
cal suggestion applicable to other
states as we'll as Virginia? When the
courts of a state are asked to dissolve a
marriage contract because one of the
parties to it has been guilty of some
misdemeanor or crime which by its
laws is cause for divorce and the d.
vorce is granted for that reason, why
should not the state take sufficient in
terest in the matter to punish the guilty
party whether the applicant for the d.
vorce does or does not wish punish.
ment to be inflicted?
If cruelty. abandonment and adul-
terry, the chief causes alleged for d.
vorce, are misdemeanors or felonies un-
der the laws Of some states, the per-
sons committing them ought to be pun
ished, and the inf1iction Of the punish
ment might have a wholesome effect Oh
society in the matter of divorces. At all
events Virginia's proposed law will be
watched with interest. .....--.. ..

A Few Suggestions.

A Few Suggestions.
Lincoln, Neb., has forty saloons
each paying $1,000 license.
Topeka, Kan, has not had a
licensed saloon for nearly twenty
years. -..- =
Lincoln has numerous unli-
censed joints in spite of their high
license.
Prohibition has reasonably sup
pressed joints and dives in Topeka,
there being at the present time,
very few, if any,.
The tax levied to pay the expen-
ses of the school in Lincoln is
nearly too mills higher than that of
Topeka. The levy, for city pur-
poses only, is thirty-seven and one
half mills. -
Topeka's total levy without re-
sorting to the taxation of vice, is
but thirty mills for city purposes.
Lincoln pays annual salaries to
her city superintendent of schools
and principal of high school $4,000.
Topeka to her superintendent
and principal $4,000.
Lincoln pays high school teach
ers an average of SIS per month.
Topeka pays 1888 average
wages for high school teaches.
Principals of graded schools re-
ceive in high license Lincoln &c.
80 average wages per month, and
Topeka pays her principals an av-
erage of $89.1S per month.
Graded school teachers receive
$52.73 annually in Lincoln, and
S57.23 in Topeka; while the gen
eral average for high license Lin
coin is $66.02 as against general
average Of 1858 in prohibition
Topeka; monthly excess in favor
of Topeka teachers $10.56, yearly
excess $95.O4.
This shows the advantages to
teachers in Topeka, but none but
the All-Wise-One can measure the
advantages of prohibition exam
pies ON the lives of the pupils, or
read the clear pages in the Book
of Life where righteous votes are
recorded in favor of Topeka's
fathers and whisky votes recorded
against the fathers in Lincoln.
Some time ago one of Prince
tons most influential men handed
me the following as illustrative of
the workings of license versus
prohibitory law:

case in favor of prohibition by CIV

cage of pavement and nearly eight
times the mileage Of water mains.
Fargo has a city debt of rs per
cent. of the assessed valuation.
while Moorhead, with all it's Ii
cense, has city debt of 3O.5 per
cent. The per capita city debt in
Fargo is $3.50, while in Moorhead
it is $44.79; and Moorhead's city
