SUCCESS TO CRIME"

The Advertiser has repeatedly called
attention to the fact that the First Cir
cult Court has introduced a dangerous
innovation TO local court practice. by
constituting every possible technically
in favor OF the discharge of criminals.
Instead of decreasing. the instances
have become more frequent. until the
administration of justice in this court
is a by-word and farce. The Adver-
tiser finally published the "McSwilli-
gam cartoon upon the subject. the re-
Spouse to which was a citation for con-
tempt and a decree giving the editor
thirty days in jail. In response to the
charge by this Journal that scores" OF
cases had been dismissed through tech

trivial character. the Bulletin. the prop

A FOOLISH OLD IDEA.

&c was once thought that q
medicine was all the more bene-
fetal for having a nasty taste and
smell. We now know that such
an idea is perfect nonsense
There is no more reason why
medicine should offend the sem
ses than why food should do so.
Therefore, one of the greatest
chemical victories of the past
few years is what we may call
the redemption of cod liver oil.
Everybody knows what a vile
taste and smell this drug has
in its natural state. No wonder
most people declare they would
rather suffer from disease than
take cod liver oil, and the emul-
sions are quite as foul and abom-
Unable as the plain oil, no matter
what may be alleged TO the con-
trary. Now it is one OF natures
laws that a medicine which dis
gusts the nose and the palate,
and also sickens the stomach, can
have no good effect as a medi-
cine, because the system cries
out to be delivered from it. In

Baaishing ParIor Matches.
New York Sun.l

The prohibition in this city of the
storage or sale of parlor matches after
Jan. next is a commendable measure
The fire commissioner has discovered
that thirteen hundred fires were caused
last year by parlor matches. This
shows that the prohibition is in the in
terests of public safety. Many thou-
sands of our housewives have long rec
ognized the danger of this form OF fire.

They have banisfied parlof matches
from their homes with the result that
the sale of ordinary sulphur and safety
matches has increased.
We have been slower than some other
nations to recognize the danger or us
ing this excessively inflammable com
modify. Over a year ago the SWedlsh
government prohibited the use, turnout
the kingdom, of matches similar to our
parlor matches. France also has sup
pressed them, and the French manu-
facturers claimed a year ago that the
matches now produced in that country
have none OF the drawbacks, either as
to injurious or poisonous qualities or as
sources of danger, that marked hereto
fore in common use.
AS paraffin is substituted for sulphur
in the manufacture of safety matches,
1t has been found that wood with light
and spengy pores is essential SO that
paraffin may easily penetrate the wood
instead of the igniting composition IT
self, rendering it useless. Aspen has
proved to be the best wood for safety
matches, and this lis the reason why
Germany is now using about 100000
cubic feet of aspen every year for Its
of safety matches.
Germany imports two-thirds OF Its
aspen from Russia. In this country
however, the aspen is almost ubiquitous
and is as yet little used in our indus
tries. There is no reason why, instead
of importing nearly all our safety
matches, we should not make all the
requires with materials found
at home.

Admiral Bradford says that owing to
the lack of naval coal depots, the fleet
narrowly escaped being left without
coal last summer as asult of the

That the experience of other coun-
tries has been along the line of partial
failure is not altogether closing argu-
ment. That men in government en-
ploy do not bring out equal results in
production is more of an admittance
against a non-educated sentiment than
against a possible result, when political
influence to retain incapables is at an
end. Again, when the general govern
ment takes up some of these better
forms of socialism, the piece work sys-
tenn will, of necessity, come into vogue.
Employees of governmental railroads
and coal mines can be employed on the
same terms as those of public corpora

assumes no monopoly, will result In so

OIL FUEL FOR STEAMSHIPS.

The feasibility of using Oil as fuel in
an economical way to propel steam
ships, still under consideration, is being
solved successfully by an American
steamship line, which operates fleet
of freight steamers between New York
and San Francisco and Honolulu. This
company is known as the American
Hawaiian line. The company has built
nine steamers within the last two or
three years to take the place of the old
clipper ships which ran around the
Horn and to handle Hawaiian sugar.
The steamers sail from New York for
San Francisco with a~general cargo. At

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

Passing events often afford the text
to prove ones pet theory. The recent
election in New York state, with the
tremendous increase in the democratic
vote, seems, on the face of it, an en-
dorsement of the state platform favor
ing government ownership of the coal
mines. To strengthen this argument, it
is now a recognized fact that Mr.. Hill
is by all odds the most prominent lead
er of the national democratic party.
Couple with this Mr.. Hills open and
emphatic endorsement of the plank ia
yoring government ownership of coal
mines, and the logic is plain that the
people of New York favor socialism.
But, stop moment. Tom Johnson, of
Ohio, is even more ardent socialist
than Mr. Hill, and what of the result in
Ohio, whera the republicans made fully
as great gain as the democrats in New
York. It's poor rule that won't work
both ways.
Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott of New York
recently delivered an address on social
ism as fact of the future before
Yale audience in College Street Hall,
New Haven. DIR. Abbott said in part:
II believe the movement toward So
cialism in this country to be irresistible,
and believe, too it ought not to be re-
sisted. 1t is just as necessary to have
an organization of labor to carry on
great factory as 1t is to have an organi-
cation of capital. Shall such an organi-
cation be one of autocracy or of democ-
racy? The peril to America is not in
the greatness of the organization, but
In the direction which 1t shall take.
Believe me, this movement toward
organization is not alone irresistible,
but it is beneficial. But we must con-
troll as people these organizations,
both capital and labor Government of
the people must prevent monopoly in
the necessaries by law and regulation,
and must prevent crime in corporation
or in labor union. Law must be en-
forced alike for rich and poor, employer
and employe."
1t is doubtful whether the people of
this country are ready to adopt the
form of socialism that gives the gov
eminent monopolistic control of all of
the public utilities. The experience of
other nations having state control of
railways is not encouraging. New
Zealand, Australia and Switzerland are
not having an unqualified success in
their work along this line.
But where the state enters into COM
petition with capital and labor organi-
cations, the result is generally more
hopeful. For instance, ship builders
have a knowledge that rather than pay
exhorbitant prices Uncle Sam has a
navy yard of his own and will use 1t.
Our postoffice department is in direct
competition to the banks and express
companies in the matter of sending
money by postal money orders. Uncle
Sam is surely going into the real estate
