RUSSIAN REFORMS.

IT HAT Russia is on the verge OF a
a revolution cannot be seriously
doubted 1t may be peaceful and re-
suit only in reforms which were inau-
gurated in other European states cen-
turies ago. or II the iron hand Of des-
potism shall be employed TO crush out
AN liberal tendencies. then the struggle
may be sanguinary.
The meeting Of the representatives Of
the Zemstavos. or provincial assemblies
IN st. Petersburg. and their recommen-
datlons which have been published
without being expurgated or amended,
show that reforms are demanded by the
most substantial class Of citizens in the
Cars dominions. These are not revo-
lutionlsts. and we may Judge that the
government knew their character and
influence by the fact that the assmebly
met virtually under police protection.
They ask for participation on the part
of the people in the affairs OF govern
ment; they demand the freedom of the
press. but most Of all they ask FOR a
parliament. to be composed OF repre-
sentatives to be selected by the people
OF course their demands will be op-
posed by the bureaucrats, but the voice
Of the provinces VIII have to be needed.
That brings the question directly to the

temperate but urgent pleas OF his mil
lions OF subjects without touching a

of sufficient intelligence ito represent the average
American community IN the state legislature is SO
deficient in common sense and worldly wisdom as to
believe that laws forbidding gambling and the keep
ing of brothes and providing for the suppression of
other kindred evils will or can be enforced in the
larger towns and cities Yet they vote for these laws
and pass them and oppose their repeal, and the
consequence is that corrupt official has most
effective weapon with which to levy blackmail The
better plan would be to leave such matters to the
discretion of the local lawmaking bodies.

FORCED into defensive attitude by the storm
of criticism he has had to weather since the Iroquos
theatre fire, Mayor Carter 81. Harrison of Chicago
has written an article for the Philadelphia SATURDAY
E0ewng Post explaining why the fire ordinances
notstrcty enforced before the disaster occurred
His article deals with legislative "four flushing The
legislator tindugesi hsdiverson is the one that
supports the passage of law which is never intended
to be enforced, but which is placed on the statute
books for purely decorative purposes. Chicago,
Mayor Harrison explains, while free from official
corruption is peculiarly prolific of this particular
style of legislation. It is customary for members of
the council to promote and vote for ideal and i'm
practicable ordinances with the understanding that
they will not be enforced, because such ordinances
look we'll the statute books, and because those who
secure the passage of them receive the praise of the
papers and certain class of citizens. Among these
highly ornamental laws of Chicago Mayor Harrison
cudes the relating to the midnight closing of
looms to throwing refuse in the Streets to placing gar
bage in metal receptacles and to splitting on the side
walks. All these are "four Pushes, says the mayor.
The ordinances relating to the construction of reproof
buildings he places in the same GLASS; saying that if
they enforced to the letter Chicago would have
to go out of business temporarily.
That the assertions of Mayor Harrison are true
is beyond question -Four flush" legislation exists
in every city and state in the union and even the
national senate and house not free from it. The
great objection to it is that it results in dis
regard Of law. For, as Mayor Harrison says, when
the sincerity of the ordinances is doubted the dis
obedience of the citizen is certain
Mayor Harrison does not admit that relation
ship exists between decorative awmaking and graft
in fact he says the appears when the other has
been eliminated. But the connection is obvious.
Most of the lawmakers who lend their support to the
highly moral and apparently innocuous laws that
grace our statute books after each session of the
legislature have no idea that they may be inciting
dishonesty among public officials and placing 9

The Rev. Robert A. Ellwood of Wilmington
Del, the Presbyterian clergyman who achieved a
disagreeable prominence by advocating and effect
ing the lynching of the negro George White some
months ago, has been cautioned and reprimanded by
the Newcastle presbytery for his Incorporate Ian
guage in connection with the deplorabe affair. This
is just and proper Such body as the Presbyterian
church could not pass such event without taking
cognizance of it. But so far as Mr.. Elwood is con-
cerned it is not likely that the reprmand was neces-
sary. He probably sincerely regrets his lynching
sermon, which, as is evident to all, was preached
under the stress of strong emotion and at time
when the minister was subordinate to the man.

IT USED to be confidently asserted that inter-
national commerce and peace were synonymous
terms, that when the nations of the world were
dependent upon each other for commercial prosperity
war would be too expensive pastime to indulge in.
The contrary seems to be the truth. Commerce is
as fruitful cause of warfare as religion formerly
was. Fanaticism and zeal to souls have been
superseded by greed Today nation hesitates to
sacrifice millions of dollars and thousands of lives
to secure possible market for its products The
Eastern situation is typical of the modern point of
view The only possible ground of defense for
Russia and Japan Is that they need the money. The
one arbitrarily demands Manchuria; the other
Korea. Neither claim is supported by justice but
both backed by might. Because he has the
power to do it, the Gar coolly fches enormous
territory from highly civilized and very inoffensive
nation, and by the same token the mikado will
attempt to annex entire empire with which he
has no quarrel whatever. The two brgands quarrel
over the division of the spoils. 1t is noteworthy
that world power has impugned the spolation of
China and Korea on moral grounds. On the con-
trary the nations that pride themselves most their
advanced civilization content to sit around like
jackals waiting to seize anything valuable that may
escape the contestants. It is neither pretty nor
an edifying picture, but it is one we have grown
accustomed to looking at.

The good people of Doddsville, Mississippi,
took a few hours off the other day and burned a
colored man and woman at the stake. This business
is getting monetonous. The bloom has gone from the
peach If the South wants to reawaken the old in
terest in its lynchng industry it must either try it's
hand at children light some more lingering
and original method of inficting death than mere
burning. 1t is said that lynching without extras
hardly attracts crowd any more.

IT is often said with truth that progress and
|discontent inseparable. The individual or the
nation that is satisfied with itself invariably sinks
into sothfu degeneracy, for as growth
decay sets in. But there is unhealthy as we'll as
healthy form of discomfort When you find a man
who nothing good in the state; one to whom
all politics rotten and all politicians corrupt
who believes that money is the only power; who
thinks that because the majority of people have
different opinions from himself they are misguided
or selfish; who, in short, let's his feelings and
emotions warp his reason and judgment-that man
has bad case of mental strabismus and will bear
watching There are many such persons Discomfort
is factor in making criminals as we'll as martyrs
in making Czolgosz we'll Lincoln. People
frequently think they have good reason to be dis
contented when in reality they have simply lost their
sense Of perspective by brooding over fancied
grievances.
The first duty of the iconoclast, the reformer or
the who is disconnected with the existing order
of things is to subject himself to an examination and
find out if he is all he would require others to be-
Until he is satisfied this point his protestatons
and denunciations will lack sincerity Every country
in the civilized world is governed, in the last analysis
by the peoples the people the individual citizens
high and low rich and poor alike. According as
their aims and ideals lofty or sordid will the
government be good or bad. When the individuals
are honest and incorruptible the men selected to
make and administer the laws will be above criticism
It narrows down to question of each one reform
ing himself. AS Stevenson said: "One person I
have to make good-myself; my duty toward my
neighbor is more nearly expressed when say have
to make him happy
The only form of discomfort which is divine
is dissatisfaction with ones self and the results of
ones endeavors and contempt for the ignoble and
petty things each of does and thinks every day of
our life.

associations of tramps are of the
kind which expose them to any
disease that is epidemic and also
to the requirement of others
which have their origin in person
al uncleanliness and immortality.
These men do little or nothing to-
safeguard their own health and
are utterly reckless as to the we'll
fare of others. Now that there is
a growing tendency of medical and
hyginic science to get at the very
bottom of unsanitary and diseased
conditions and to apply measures
of prevention, it would seem that
the time is not far distant when
steps may be taken to have peri
odic roundups Of professional
tramps and give them dose of
health in the shape of scrubbing
brushes, soap, water and disinfect-
ing powder.
To judge by the strong state
ments of London chemists and
physicians, it now looks as if re-
formers have found a beverage
that bids fair to drive tea, coffee
and beer out Of business in the
near future. The new drink is
called "Yerbe Mate or simply
"Mate," and is brewed from the
dried leaves of a South American
plant called fex. It is claimed
that mate has been tried in London
hospitals, not only for patients,
but also for nurses. Nurses aver
that a bottle of mate converts their
monotonous and arduous duties
into positive pleasures, banishes
sleepiness and arouses interest in
common humdrum work. Chem
lists who have analysed the new
beverage say it is perfectly harm
less, leaves no bad after effect and
that its use can no more be abused
than can the use of water. These
gentlemen say the new drink
makes one ''feel good" forget trou-
bles, look with brighter eye on
the dark side of life and, unlike
some other stimulants, causes one
to feel like working with the brain
or hands instead of the tongue. It
is also claimed that mate does not
interfere with digestion and that
it is a great boon to thinkers,
writer's, scientists, clergymen, etc.,
in that it tends to brighten the
machinery and enables
the think machine to work to it's
full capacity and overtime without
being impaired. The taste Of
mate is said to be more pleasant
than that of tea, coffee and beer,
the stimulating, refreshing and
effect more quickly
felt, and there is no sting, its only
effect being that of making the
drinker a busy, industrious, hope
full person who gets more out of
life for himself and for othersthanis
The case with the ordinary person
who depends on his own body
for stimulation.
Mate can be prepared and sold
in bottles or made at home like tea
and coffee and can be taken straight,
cold or hot, or with milk and sugar,
but when taken straight it is said
TO be sufficiently cheap to fit the
pocketbook of the laboring man,
being much cheaper than beer,
the cost about corresponding with
that of tea and coffee, and that its
use tends to reduce the desire for
tobacco. A drink such as this has
long been the dream of temper
ance reformers for the reason that
it contains no alcohol, it's stimu-
