the one who keeps good habits to pre-

1OUlO The Fourth Estate very
BE entertainingly discusses a
1ITEO matter in recent issue
which has no doubt given

which has no doubt given
most every newspaper publisher some
worry-that of libelous matter in ad-
yertisements 1t is sometimes the case
that a. person has an idea that he can
say libelous things about another in

times also true that person has an

and profane language toward another

ner, just so the article closes with the
signature of the writer. The Fourth
Estate says:
"One OF the questions OF more than
ordinary interest to the newspaper
publisher is to what extent is he en-
titled to refuse advertisements sent In
by an advertiser which contain mat
tr attacking the character or method
OF other advertisers in the same pa
per.
III a publisher is bound to scrutjn-
ize matter inserted in the reading col
umns which is liable to be neld as
libelous by any one referred to there
in he can hardly be denied a similar
privilege as regards the advertising
columns in order 70 avoid suits for
libel.
1t is claimed to be the law that a
publisher is liable in such case. al
though the fact that he did not him
self write or prepare the libelous mat
ter will mitigate the damages that
may be secured by the plaintiff. II
this be SO the justice OF permitting a

use of intoxicating llQ-
ucrs and toba eco by employees engaged
in onerating trains. The fiat has gone
forth generally that employees who
drink or who frequent places where
liquors are sold are not safe men 10
entrust with the lives of patrons nor
with the valuable property transported
NV the railroads. Total abstinence is
essential to service in the operating
department of every railroad in the
United States.
The rules which have recently been
inaugurated against the use OF tobacco
n4e not so stringent as those against
Geuor. but generally they proscrlbe
the use of tobacco while on duty ana
when about stations and about the
nroperty of railroad companies. AS
for the cigarette. the order against II
;c almost as severe as that against
whisky.
The revolution which is being effect
ed in these respects is shown in the
new rule books which many OF the
managements of the roads have just
;ssued. Without a single exception
these books contain the following or
ru,es which are similarly framed:
aThe use of intoxicants by employees
while on duty is prohibited. Their
habitual use or the frequenting OF
nlaces where they are sold is sufficient
cause for dismissal.
The use of tobacco by employees
when on duty ir and about passenger
stations or on passenger cars is pro-
hibted.'
While the rules are now practically
the same on all railroads. some are
more severe than others in their en-
forcemcnt. Not all the railroads as
sume to say whether an operating en-

as the best man on the line, and was
not frowned upon by his superiors.
AS the traffic of the country grew
amazingly, however, and the public de-
mand came for faster time and better
service. the train crews which were
seen most frequently in saloons were
credited with the greatest number OF
wrecks. and general managers began
to do some thinking.
Intcxicatiun was at first prohibited
by one or .wo roads with ill success,
the men insisting that their morals
had nothing to do with the railroad
service and the rule against the use
of hauor became a dead letter. BY
concerted action through the General
MANAGERS association of Chicago the
lines have been drawn tighter until
the old rule practically has become. a
new rule through it's general and
rigid observance.

where Barley !. Cultivated.

Barley extends over a wider climatic
range than any of the other grains and
is successfully cultivated over a great
er breadth OF the globe than any other
cereal. II fourishes under the heat
and drought OF the borders of the torrid
zone and grows sturdily and maturely
on the northern verge of the temperate
zone, ripening and thriving under varl-
Gus adverse circumstances which wheat
is wholly unable to resist. Barley is
found in the Farce islands, near Cape
North, the extreme point Of Norway;
near Archangel, on the White sea, and
in central Siberia between 5s and 80
degrees north latitude. In genial elf.
mates, such as those OF Egypt, Barbary
and the south of Spain, two crops OF
barley may be reaped in the same year.
one In spring from seed sowed the pre-.
vious autumn and one in autumn from
