Any one who has lived in a factory

by the number of graceful and handsome
young girls among the throng. Light
hearted, smiling, mirthful, it is hard to
realize that they have just left days

ASHARp REMfNDtR.

The Bible says For all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. :" It does not say that those who take the batchet shall perish with the hatchet, but it is interesting to note that Mrs Carrie Nation has discovered that the hatchet may be dangerous to her as well as to those against whom she wields it. We read that while flourish- ing large hatchet which she received as a present from an eastern manufac- turing firm she dropped it and the keen edge of the instrument severed the large toe of her right foot.
 Sister Carrie will perhaps learn in. time that it is wise for her to keep away from the hatchet. How she has handled it as long and as much as she has without seriously damaging herself is one of the mysteries, but she has now received a sharp reminder that she is but woman. She can perhaps spare big toe. but if she is foolish enough to keep on carelessly handling the hatchet she may lose parts of herself that she will really miss If she must be militant it will be better for all con- cerned if she makes stones her weap- ons. She can hardly manage to hit her self with them, even if she doesn't hit anybody else.

RI FORM IN NEW YORK.

Mayor Low is finding out, IS many others have discovered that Reform is reform. He has received a letter from the Parkhurst society, signed by MT Parkhurst as president, in which he is reminded that he has taken an oath to do his duty, that one of his du- ties is to see that the laws are enforced, and that one of the laws is the Raines law. He is further told that the atmos- phere in which the citizen acts, and in which the policeman does or neglects his duty, is clouded by the ambiguity emanating from administrative incerti- tude. And Brother Parkhurst also says: We are not arguing that the law, as it now stands, is the best possible but it is law so long as it does stand, and you will not venture to say, with the law before you and the responsibility of your official oath upon you, that you have more constitutional authority than any private citizen to treat law as anything other than law. If it is claim ed that enforcing the law will carry the city back under the control that it has been recently rescued from it is not a. very high nor commanding order of logic to argue against the mayors re- specting reform oath on the ground that it will give opportunity for the re- turn to power of officials who will not respect their Tammany oath. There is not very much to choose between a Tammany administration that has bad principles and reform administration that has good principles, but is afraid to use them
 Brother Parkhursts reasoning is good. New York's reform administra- ton can't logically maintain such an attitude as it seems to have taken on "the liquor question"

| Governor Cummins of Iowa is good
 Republican, but he can see as straight as some other good Republicans. In his inaugural message he doesn't hesi-
 established for man, not man for pro- lection. This truth, though it has
 been somewhat obscured, will, we sup
 pose, eventually stick out so that even
 the wayfaring man can see it. and Governor Cummins does well to call at
 tention to it. He has something to say about the trusts that is worth notice. He does not believe that these organi- zations will walk the straight and mar row path under the mild discipline implied by the publication of their accounts They need more forcible correction. And an obvious means of reducing their power over prices is by a reduction of their tariff privileges. If we accept the proposition that com petition and that alone will preserve the people from undue exaction, we must see to it that if we cannot arti- fcially induce competition we can at least be certain that we do not artifi- oially exclude it" Whenever, then, a tariff protected consolidation destroys competition it is the Imperative duty of congress to remove the tariff, "The consequences of monopoly, or sub stantial monopoly, in any important product" are infinitely more disastrous than the consequences of foreign inn portations 7"
 This isn't exactly the way Heading Republicans" have been talking, but perhaps Governor Cummins will turn out to be leading Republican. Any how, he is frank Republican,

Doubtless they thought that the rural population would be made up of more stable ele- ments and would contain much of the foreign element and therefore would be safer guardians of the interest of the state.

Ours at present is not sufficiently unequal to cause any gen eral complaint, but it might be differ ent if we had large cities.-Portland Express.

He cast his first vote for Andrew Jackson in 1924, and has never missed an election since. He from Jackson to Roosevelt. He was never member of any secret order and never belonged to any church. He is a IJniversalist in belief, but often attends one of the city churches. He is as wig orous as d well preserved man of sev- enty. His face is almost entirely free from the wrinkles that are common to old age, and there is nothing about his bearing to indicate to a stranger his great age He does not carry d cane and reads a newspaper without specta- cles. just as he did in his youth. The most remarkable thing about his eye sight is the fact that lie never has used glasses to read. He was never confined to his bed from sickness more than three weeks in all his long life. His digestion is still good, and he eats and sleeps just as he did nearly a century ago. His hearing is also as acute as it ever was His mental faculties are as remarka bly, well preserved as his phy sical powers. He reads the daily pa- pers and takes a deep interest in pass ing events, He says he is not a bit tired of life, and would like to live an- other century.

No wonder the English are enraged by some of the cartoons that have late- ly appeared in German papers. One which was printed by Berlin weekly is like this: In front of a scorched and blackened background, huge caldron is placed over blazing fire, Two de- mons, naked, painted scarlet, are en- gagged at the caldron, with horns, tails and vampires wings. One of these is Mir Chamberlain and the other Lord Kitchener. Chamberlain is stirring up the caldron, out of which two childish arms are stretched Kitchener who is represented with a peculiarly Satanic visage, is collecting children and his arms are full of them.
