pEBSISM AND BAERISM.
These, Not the Tariff, Responsible for
the Coal Famine.
l1et.


Nothing better delights the gentle
men who upset American prosperity
nv free trade and tariff reform" poll
tics winding up in the Wilson-Gor-
manism than any event which gives
them a chance to attack the tariff
under which American prosperity has
been unexampled. The bagatelle OF
sixty-seven cents per ton tarin on coal
attracted no attention until Baerism
and Debsism in the coal regions had
buncoed American industry by more
than doubling the price OF coal-a
result with which the tariff had abso-
lutely no connection. Now that Con-
gress with practical unanimity has
removed all duty from Welsh anthra-
cite-thoush it's hardly more like
anthracite than Georges Creek coal,
the free traders raise shout that
after all the present tariff is not con-
secrated law.
The present tariff was not devised
TO meet the crises Of such anarchy In
capitalism and laborism as started last
June in the Pennsylvania anthracite
regions. And the suspension Of all
duty on coal for one year will do this
good at least-it will show that there
is more than q dollars difference per
ton in favor Of American coal, as COM
pared either with Canadian or with
welsh coal Had the duty been 81
per ton, its removal would have been
more significant
As matters now stand, as sure as
coal goes back to its normal figures,
as II will very soon after snow stops
flying. we may hear the Coal trust
shouting for lower wages, on the plea
that the trust has TO mine coal in
competition with the cheaper labor

A LAYMAN
Gave Doctor a Hint About Coffee

Gave Doctor a hint ABOUT SoHee'
Speaking of coffee a doctor of Deca-
turville, Ohio, says: I'VE used to an
alyze coffee at the medical college and
in spite of our laboratory tests which
showed it to contain caffeine, an active
poison, | continued to use the drink,
and later on found myself affected
with serious stomach trouble, lndl-
gestion, headaches, etc.
The headaches came on so regularly
and oppressed me so that found II
difficult to attend to my regular duties.
One day last November | met friend
whom had known to be similarly al
ficted. His marked improvement in
appearance caused me to inquire what
he had been doing. He announced that
he had, some time ago, quit coffee and
was using Postum Food Coffee. To
this change he attributed the change
in his health.
took the hint, even from layman,
and made the same change myself.
The first week noticed little differ
ence, but not much. The third week
the change was almost magical
have continued with the Postum aad
now my digestion is perfect, the nerv-
Gus headaches have entirely disap-
peared. and l am well. Ny own an
alysis of the Postum Food Coffee shows
II to be a pure food drink Of strong
character. which is a marked contrast
to the old-fashioned coffee" Name

HAPPY DAYS

What happy days are those when

We can bring those days by little

this young man did.
Il had suffered from dyspepsia for
three years and last summer was so
bad I was unable to attend school,"
he says: II was very thin and my
It was craving. I was dizzy and my
food always used to ferment instead Of
digesting. Crossness, unhappiness
and nervousness were very prominent
symptoms.
Late in the summer 1 went to visit
a sister and there I saw and used
Grape-Nuts. I had heard of this ia
nous food before but never was in
terested enough to try it, for I never
knew how really good it was. But
when came home we used Grape
Nuts in our household all the time
and I soon began to note changes in
my health. I improved steadily and
am now strong and well in every way
and am back at school able to get
my lessons with ease and pleasure and
can remember them, too, for the i'm
provement in my mental power is very
noticeable and L get good marks in
my studies, which always seemed diff
ficult before.

washington, Nov. 10.-Officials of
the general land office say that the
Minneapolis school teachers must not
think that because their timber ana
stone entries have been suspended they
are not to get the land. AS matter
Of fact, they are in the same NIX as
every other entryman under the same
law and all are to be treated alike.
The order suspending timber and stone
entries in California, Oregon and
Washington was issued by secretary
Hitchcock more than a year ago, and
instructions were issued for a special
examination of each case. Since that
time the land commissioners has
passed on a number of these entries
and has recommended that they pass
to patent. But the secretary has not
yet taken any action and it will be
some months before the cases are dis
posed Of.
Commissioner Richards has con-
strued the law in a way that Will not
prevent one who has made entry for
| legitimate purposes from getting a pat
ent. The general land office has held
that the word speculation" which is
one of the bars to patent, does not
| apply to one who has made the entry
with a view to holding his land for
investment and disposal at a profit at
some future time. and without collu-
sion with any other person or cor
poration. Assistant Commissioner
Fimple says the cases of the Mime
apolis school teachers will be judged
on the basis of this decision, and If
| it is found that their entries were not
for speculative" purposes within this
construction, they will get patents.

MOWERS RURAL ROUTES

Out Anew.
From Tho Journal Bureau Colorado Building,


Washington, Nov. 1O.-Last spring
Representative Tawney made ar
Tangements with the postoffice de-
partment for a full county rural de-
livery service in Mower county. He
supposed the service had been estab-
lished until few days ago, when he
had letters from the county asking
what was the occasion for the delay
He took the matter up with the de-
partment and to-day received the fol-
lowing letter from Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow:
II have your letter in regard to ru-
raj free delivery service in Mower
county, Minnesota. Upon examining
the report, find of the twenty-three
routes there is not one that would
have to exceed eighty-five houses, if
the report should be approved, and
many of them only fifty-five and
sixty. A large number Of the routes
are also less than twenty-five miles
long. l am anxious to dispose Of this
matter so as to give you the least
possible embarrassment, but rein
vestigation of this service is absolute
ly necessary, under the rules Of the
department. shall direct that the re-
investigation be made as speedily as
possible.
TT Is believed in the department
that a proper Encouragement Of the
service In Mower county can be salts
factorily made upon reinvestigation.'

GRADING IS INACCURATE

ports on Carelessness of Amer

From Tue Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, Nov. 10.-Robert P.
Skinner, consul at Marseilles, reports
to Secretary Cortelyou that there is
again complaint at that port regard
ing the carelessness of American
wheat inspectors and that French
millers are hardly in a mood to re-
ceive American propositions. He
adds:
I have detailed information respecting
one lot of 10000 tons Of wheat shipped
from one of the southern ports the receipt
of which was refused by buyers on ac-
count at Marseilles because the grain did
not conform to the certified description
by inspecting authorities at the port OF
departure.
At an auction sale this same wheat
brought some 8 cents less than the price
at which it had been purchased and the
case is now in the local courts.
The principle involved in this matter is
the same as that frequently discussed in
my reports. European buyers find our
American inspection plan admirable in
theory but unsatisfactory in practice, for
the reason that no guaranty whatever &C
companies the certificate.
No Hnited States official is authorized
to fix crop standards and inspectors have
varying ideas respecting the standard by
which they undertake to grade grain COM
ing before them. w. w. Jerrnane

professional malpractice, malfeasance
in office, domestic troubles,and di-

Hammurabi King of Babylon in
1880 b. c., recognized these evils and
drew UP a code of laws providing for
the punishment of "grafters," brihers,
quack doctors, incompetent building
commissioners, careless oil inspectors,
dishonest judges, wives who talked
too much and husbands who beat
their wives too often.
Professor Robert Francis Harper of

of the code of Hammurabi have been
made by the professor which are now

American Journal of Semitic Lang

the University of Chicago press.
Punishment for Bribers.
Said Hammurabi in his code: IF
a man in case offers as bribe
grain or money to the witnesses, he
shall himself bear the sentence passed
In that case"
About unwise judges he ruled: IF
judge pronounces Judgment and
delivers a verdict duly signed and
sealed and afterward alters his judg-
ment, they shall expel him from his
seat of judgment and with the judges
he shall not take his seat"
Seemingly Hammurabi had some
trouble with his building commission

The code also had a good deal to
say concerning the grounds for -di-

"hates her husband and says thou
shalt not have me- they shall inquire
into her antecedents for her defects;
and If she has been a careful wife and
Is without reproach and her husband
has been going about and greatly be-
lifting her, the woman has no blame.
She will receive her presents and
shall go to her fathers house. If she
has not been a careful wife, has CAD

and belittled her husband, they shall
throw that woman into the water
Hammurabi was a contemporary of
Abraham. He was the sixth king of
the first Babylonian dynasty. He is
spoken of in the Old Testament, Cen
esis 14-1, and Is called Amraphel. His
code of laws remained the basis of
Babylonian and Assyrian law until the
fall of both empires.
The code Of Hammurabi was found
In the winter Of 1902 by the French
research expedition at Susa. Assyri-
ologists consider that no monument of
antiquity has ever been discovered of
greater Importance than this code.
