so far as they may be able the treating evil in
nection with social drinking.
Accordingly they will establish a saloon that will
give this theory fair showing. Another feature Of
their experimental saloon is to be that no profit will
be derived from the sale OF the liquor dispensed
there.
1t has often been observed that the treating habit
Is directly responsible for much Of the over indul
gence and drunkness In this country.
The late Sam JemisOn, Of Georgia, while q repre-
sentative OF Bbb county, introduced q bill making
it misdemeanOr to ''treat' in that state. His
speech In support Of the measure was a very strong
effort full OF sound logic, well sparkling wit.
Sam JemisOns bill did not pass, but it was perhaps
more practical than some reform measures that have
been aimed at the drink evil.
The custom Of treating is not peculiar to this
country, but it is not so prevalent anywhere else as
here.
The evils that flow from it are manifest. Most
men who indulge in the treating habit are almost
certain now and then to drink more than they in
tended to, more than they would have imbibed II
they had not been subjected to the social seducions
Of ordinary bar rooms.
The saloon that is to be run in New York on the
principles Of selling chemically pure liquors at cost
and on the principle that each patron must pay for
bis own drink and for nobody else's will furnish
very interesting study from which instructive
lessons may be drawn.

man, the Detroit Times aptly remarks: "If a man
who has spent his life from his youth up doing
nothing but chase dollars becomes thereby better
business man than one who has tried to broaden
his knowledge and sympathies and combine with
what is merely practical some things that are in
tended for culture and refinement then the Times
ventures to think that it is better not to be quite
good at business The world is full of rich and
worn out business men who are fretting away
weary existance because they can't work and don't
know how to do anything else." is not absolutely

he came proving his case. The frivolous atti-
tude Of many OF the members Of that set towards
marriage and the marriage laws is getting to be
shocking, to say the least No wonder the Phila-
deiph1a Inquirer published in an atmosphere where
marriage has a much more serious and sacred signi
fcance, is moved to say:
"AnOther scandal in New York. Newport smart
set, and the whole story coming out through the
medium of the divorce courtsl Well, If that's what
call being mart they are welcome to the dstinc-
tiOn. The reputation Of our mothers good

Imagine the women Of ageneration back who were
reared to look upon marriage in it's true light-a
divine institutiOn-remping around for year or
two with one husband, then severing the marriage
tie only to pick up another the same day or week,
and so on until the genealogical table could hardly
be explained with the aid OF diagram. The word
SMART appears to have been subjected to all sorts
Of mutiatOn Of late, but no application has yet been
made which gives more cause for regret than when

There is evidently very strong demand in that

is predicted that the pententary system that is to
take the place Of the present unconstitutional one
in that state will be shaped with greater regard for
the future of the convict after he shall have served

that directian. The prison reformer is having his

walton Of their Political position. The degradation
of one affects the standing OF ALL There are Repub
hcans, or liberals who regard state integrative as
one of the out-Of-date proposition. They would,
however, take different view were there states
threatened by congress or by Federal bayOnets.
Democrats, or Conservatives, have long been the
champions OF state individuality and state sovereign
ty over all matters not explicitly surrendered to the
Jurisdiction Of the federal government.
One Of the unsurTendered rights is that of the
regulation Of the suffrage The right to regulate is
not denied even By the most radical Of statesman,
and the United States supreme court, so recently in
the Giles case, has declared by implication that this
right cannot be questioned by the courts; but con-
gress can punish the state if the regulation does
not appear to be wise one. That is what the
fourteenth amendment says. That amendment is
in direct conflict with the first principle OF the
republic. The states are the only regulators Of
elections; yet the amendment makes the congress a
later judge. 1t is true that that amendment is law
because it has not been contested not having yet
been enforced. Should it come to be enforced, it's
scope will be bought to the attention Of the people
and the enforcement will be regarded as a blow
aimed at the foundation stone of the republic We
do not expect it to be enforced or even that SER
ious attempt will be made to enforce it. We do not
believe the Republicans would be so inexpert as to
invite their own defeat on this proposition.
