Inc perlgrination 4of the governor

rect connection between the treasury

rect connection between the treasury
and the money market.
This safe and proper policy it has
been the business of Secretary Shaw to
reverse. He talks like a man with one
eye on the ticker, and ne talks most of
the time. He is constantly ''reassur-
ing the country" He is telling the peo-
pie how much money will be needed to
move the crops, and how Shaw will
provide it, and what a horrible fix the
country would be in We're it not for
Shaw. He is issuing daily bulletins
like those of the stock commission
houses, and saying what deposits he
will make or not make according to
conditions wholly outside of his proper
province. He is making the treasury
an annex to the street.
We are not charging Shaw with i'm
proper motives. We do not believe
that he is so influenced. We think
that he means Wen, but thatehe simply
doesn't know. He is intoxi-
Gated by the possibilities of his posi-
ton, and is without either the financial
wisdom to foresee the consequences of
his course or the delicate sense of
official honor that would teach him its
improperly. He is doing no >immedi-
ate harm, only making himself and his
office rather ridiculous by his regular
bulletins; but he is preparing the way
for great abuses and great scandals.
One Of the most necessary financial re-
forms, in. view of the acrobatic per-
formances of Shaw, is legislation more
closely limiting the powers of the sec
rotary of the treasury in disposing of
public balances, and a strict prohibit
ton against any connection between
the treasury, it's acts or its policies,
and the manipulations common to the
financial and speculative world.

Germans the Greatest Readers.

According to recent statistics, Ger
many leads the list as reading nation,
Russia falling to zero. With regard to
newspapers, the following facts are
even more significant: In the United
States of America 100000 of inhab-
itants are catered for by $4,000 jour-
nails, while Russia, with it's popula-
ton of 13O,000,000, has only 500. e.,
thirty-seven times less. This paucity
is easily accounted for by the censor
ship. In Germany the actual number
of professional writers is estimated at
10000, 400 of whom are poets. 1t
would therefore appear that Deutsch-
land is not only the "readingest," but

Canal VS.. Railway.

A canal will be the pathway of a
competitive worlds business in which
the Englishman and the Norwegian will
share on equal terms. Its real profit to
this country will be determined not
only by the tolls that it takes but by
the losses which it infiicts upon our
own great railroad system. 1t would
be far better for this government to
build a railroad from New York to
Boston to Seattle or Tacoma at double
the expense of a canal, and carry trans
continental freight without profit than
to open the trade of the Pacific to Eu-
rope and forego our present advan-
tages then-which will be the chief
economic result of ship canal-Bos-

The First Health Community.
Pythagoras, this greatest of Grecian
philosophers, established a health col

he gathered about him hundreds Of dis
ciples to whom he taught the simple
rules Of life which he himself followed.
These comprised abstinence from all
unWholesome foods, especially meats,
for Pythagoras considered the slaugh
ter Of animals as sacrilege. There were
no slaughter houses or butcher shops
in CrotOna. No roasts, spareribs beef
steaks or corpses of any kind ever ap-
peared upon the table of Pythagorian.

and degenerate countrymen, but his no.

Seneca, the noble old Roman; the Latin
