dovernment Ownership.

The Republican on Sunday morning contained an article, meant to be moro or less serious, in which the ground was taken that the present postoffice scandal was likely toset the government ownership idea back for some time. The New York Evening Post. which came to this office yesterday, contains an edi torial expressive of the same views.
 They have" says the Post, referring to the clear headed buHiness men op- posed to national ownership. "scouted the idea of efficiency under that sort of control" And 1t adds: They have seen waste and extravaganza writ large upon the system. This was so in the nature of the case. The methods and motives of the strict business man did not apply. A deficit did not mean a passed dividend, but only fresh ap- peal to a good -nautred uncle to ad vance some more money. Lavish ex- penditures could be covered up. There was no competitor to compel the adop- tion of up-to-date appliances, on peril of having the business ruined. Accord ingly, in the Judgment of first-cla business men, the department has long been the home of loose and wasteful management. We have heard one such man declare that, if he were put at it's head with a free hand, unyexed by politicians. he would undertake to give a better postal service Q a cost less by millions.
 'All this, of course, was Tquite ire spectiye of actual stealings. such as have been disclosed. If estimates for the department have to be made large enough to cover all manner of graft and 'rake-off, We see at once that the most swollen revenues will not suffice. And the point to keep distinct in our minds is that all this robbery Of the public has come about purely because the postoffice is a public business. . The system shows public owner ship in its full flower. There is. at any rate, one comfort: it will be some time before the postoffice is again held up by the champions of standardization as an example of what they would like to do with the telegraphs and the rail- ways It stands today. rather. as an awful warning.
 But do we mean to say that this great nation cannot conduct it's own public business? Have we no faith in the people? We have so much faith in them that we do not believe they are silly enough to run-into danger need lessly. And our experience too plainly exhorts us to avoid every unnecessary extension of the powers of government. That way peril lies. Human nature be- ing what it is, and political motives be- ing what they are, public ownership of utilities will be sure to be. in this country. cloak for lax and blind man. agement, extravaganza, crookedness, footing. Let all unprejudiced Ameri- cans study the incompetence and cor ruption revealed in the postoffice de- partment-the very pride and delight hitherto of those who have argued for municipal and national ownership and then ask themselves if it is not their bounden duty to oppose sinking further into that slough"

Lawyers, Preachers and Editors

No respectable newspaper will libel the character of a man purposely any more than an individual will blaeken the name of another without cause. 1t IS the business of q newspaper. its stock in trade, as it were, to establish Character for accurate, honest and truthful statement. Conservatism is courted in the makeup of an honest sheet, and stick to the story is the order given by it's publisher and editor to his force of underwriters Discrim- ination, too. what to use and what to reject, makes the character and repu- tation of a newspaper. Without these qualified tions the home newspaper can not expect to command respect or re- ceive support.
 The profession of the law has a much greater opportunity to libel people than has the respectable newspaper. With regard to the treatment of individuals there are few newspapers that will not withhold any item of news, if request ed, that is calculated to inture anyone's feelings, if it can be so proven, nor will they enter the privacy of the domestic circle to unveil private matters that are of no concern to the public. The news paper should be left free and untram- meled to expose wrong in public doing.
 The pulpit has lost it's influence since 1t can no longer lay bare the wicked ness and corruption of the pewholder nor expose the whfted sepulchres that use the religion of the day as a cloak to cover their evil deeds and misdoings Since. free and unmuzzled preaching is a thing of the past it is left to the honest newspaper to rally the forces that build for the highest ideals and work against wrongdoing. The news paper breaches to the largest congre- gation, but it can lily withstand a law that is calculated to make it the prey Of every pettifogging lawyer and shy ster within the bounds of its jurisdic- ton.
 It is the honest. legitimate country newspaper that will suffer if the Salus- Grady libel act stands. But the con- stitutionality of the act is yet to be proven. It cannot stand the test Pottsville Republican.

Advantage of Checks over Cash.

The complaint of the former governor of Missouri that in receiving checks from trusts or monopolies he was re-
 ceiving them from personal friends causes general reflection on the ad
 vantage of the check to the business man. It is decided disadvantage to the politician, as this mans statement shows. The checks were given and were cashed, and the record cannot be eras- ed. The case against Sam Parks for extortion rests on a tell-tale check. These men would have been able to snap their fingers at prosecutors had they only demanded bags of gold or bills in return for their services. The business man is supposed to be gen. erally as happy as fortune can make him because of the credit system of this country, which is based on clear ing houses and these on checks. But there are other ways of doing business. France, which is one of the richest countries in the world, does not use checks freely. Ready money passes in their stead, and in coaseluence the peo- pie do not have much trouble about their money supply. which at this time is much larger per capita than ours.

THE MAKING OF LACE.
a Few Useful Hints for Those who
Are Interested in This Truly
Delightful Occupation.

In making the lace great care should
be taken to avoid cutting the braids.
Lace designers plan their patterns as
far as possible to have a continuation
of the braid extending to point where
the break will not show. The worker,
by taking pencil before starting the
pattern and tracing from the starting
point to where the braid ends, will find
it less confusing when the work is
started. This, also, places the pattern
in the workers mind. If the braid is
not sufficient to reach the desired
point, end it at the base of flower
or leaf, rather than midway in the pat
tern, where piecing will be discernible.
1t is better to lose a few inches of
braid than ruin an entire collar or
bolero by piecing. In starting the
work or fastening the threads it must
be remembered all lace must be free
from knots. Carry the thread by a
blind stitch or two through the braid
to the desired starting point; here take
tiny buttonhole stitch, which will
make the loosening of the threads an
impossibility. This same rule applies
to finished work. Always leave enough
thread in your needle to catch>two or
three stitches with it's finishing but
tonhole accompaniment. Never in lace
making stint yourself as to thread, as
nothing ruins lace work so much as
to be drawn, puckered or gathered
The design of the pattern should stand
out from the background; therefore
this part of the work is heavy, or the
more solid stitches, while the back.
ground has an open stitch, cobwebs
net and broken bars.-Pilgrim.

Chicken Pie Substitute.

AS a substitute for chicken pie the
following is not easily to be surpassed
and is adaptable to almost any spot
or place: Having made a rich crust
as for chicken or meat pie, line pan
with this, butter the inside all over and
place it in the oven to bake. Then for
the filling take quails, rabbits, part
ridges, or in fact any small game, and
fry in a frying pan in butter until OF
a delicious brown. Place it next in a
saucepan with rich soup stock, a
tablespoonful of tomato catchup, a
wineglass of currant jelly, the juice of
a lemon, six cloves, salt and pepper,
and allow it to simmer on the back of
the stove until very tender. Then
transfer it to the baked crust and, hav-
ing covered with another crust, place
it in the oven long enough to bake it
to delicate brown.-Chicago Daily

The Power of Purity.

1t is marvellous thing to see how a
pure and innocent heart purifies all
that it approaches The most fero-
cious natures are soc thed and tanned by
innocence. There is delicacy so pure
that vicious men in its presence be-
come almost pure; all of purity which
is in them is brought out; like attaches
itself to like. The pure heart becomes
a center of attraction, round which
similar atoms gather, and from which
dissimilar ones are repelled. A cor
rupt heart elicits all that is bad in us;
a spiritual one brings out and draws to
itself all that is best and purest.

CONSIDER THE CALVES.
To Sell Them Now, at n Sncrific ce Price,
Is sShortsishte dn ess Absolutely
InexcusabIe.

From market reports one might
conclude that there has been an enor-
nous wave of calves sweeping over
the country. The markets, especially
those of the west, have been over
stocked, so that even in the face of
record-breaking beef prices the prices
of calves are lower than a year ago.
1t is difficult to believe that there is
an overproduction of calves, and the
rushing of them to market at what
appears to be a sacrifice price cannot
be anything but business shortsight-
edness. The beef supply of the coun-
try must be short, else such high
prices would not rule. 1t is a plain
proposition that the male calf is
father to the steer, and if the calves
| are sacrificed there is no possibility
of cheaper beef for several years.
We farmers, breeders and feeders do
| not want cheaper beef, for we see no
more profit in the making of the
| beef than the maker of it deserves.
| AS for the consumers in the cities
and towns, they will have to make
the best of it, for the nation that
spends nearly $4oo,Oooo0o yearly for
beverage liquors can cut down the
drink bill to keep up with the butch
er. But it would appear to be good
business for the raisers of calves to
| keep on the farms such calves as
have promise of growing into good
beef animals or good dairy animals.
The present scarcity of feeds will not
always continue, and when the new
crops are available for feeding those
who are desirous of making home
consumption of home productions
are likely to find a shortage OF
mouths to do the eating.--W. +. Nc

TURKS MAKING BUTTER.
The Way dn Which They Operate
Their CrenmerieH Is Amusing
and Very Primitive.

Efforts are to be made to introduce
American dairy machinery in Turkey,
where the creameries are managed
on rather primitive plan. Constan-
tinople imports most of its butter
from Siberia, instead of encouraging
the development of the industry at
home, and the fat of the tail OF
the famous fat-tailed sheep is used
throughout the country as a culinary
substitute.
Butter in Turkey is manufactured
exclusively from thickened milk,
known as "yaoort," no attempt be-
ing made to collect the cream and
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1903-03-13

use it for butter making. Fresh milk
is heated in kettles to boiling point
and allowed to cool to so degrees,
after which small quantity of old
"yaoort" is added. This fermenta-
ton is induced, and the result is a
junket-like stuff with a slight acid
taste.
"Yaoort" is very nutritious and
easily digested, and is used in the
es, both meats and vegetables
When it is employed for butter MAX
ing it is put into a jar of earthen-
ware, or goatskin, suspended by
cords. Enough hot water is added to
raise the temperature to so degrees,
and the primitive churn is kept agi-
tated for 40 minutes, until butter
forms. The residual buttermills
(used in the kitchen where American
cooks would employ ordinary butter
milk or sour milky is called the "wine
of the Turks" and is known in the
market as 'airan."
Most of the milk thus used for
making butter is that OF the sheep,
and the product is white and curdy
in appearance. The Turks seem will
ing to learn new dairy methods, how
ever, and might do SO very profitably
to themselves, the pastoral wealth
of the country being great. Recent
iy at Harput, Turkey, Yankee churns
were exhibited in operation, and ma
tive visitors were much astonished
to see yellow butter turned out from
cows milk in seven or eight minutes.
