mothers manifested their great In.
terest in the school work by visiting
the different rooms below the h nth
grade and then meeting afterward
with Superintendent Roster and the
teachers to hear the relations OF the

thirty-nye mothers were present and
listened with closest attention to
Prof. Rosters remarks. He followed
the same outline OF thought that he
did in his talk TO the South Side
mothers the day before, emphasizing
the Importance Of cooperation and
the necessity Of having children prop
erly fed and clothed in order to have
them IN condition to dc, the amount Of
school work required. $fIe also
strongly condemned the habit Of al.

in the pupils, who were allowed SO

He said, also, that In no other town
IN the State had mothers manifested
the same amount of interest in the
school during the past few years as
had Fairmont, and that great benefit
had already been derived because of
this interest. Teacher and pupil are
both spurred TO more effective work.

and nothing less than the best is
going to satisfy the mothers. The
men are vitality interested in the
question, too, and they are listening
to what their wives have to say on
the subject. We want pure water
and good system OF sewerage, but
we would rather have the facilities
for mental training for our children
than paved and better lighted streets.
We must have new high school
building and we must have it soon.

A WONDERFUL MACHINE.

A y OHIO MAN. w. r. Mccall Of

keenly than the men who make a living
out of the sale OF intoxicants. The
time has come when the wholesale
whisky houses DO not employ statesmen
who drink. They are extremely desir-
Gus of selling the poison to the en-
ployes OF others. but their own en-
ployes must refrain from using it. The
bartender who commands the highest
salary is the bartender who never takes
a drink of whisky.
The healthiest. happiest. best paid
and most respected man in any COM
munity, generally speaking, is the
man who let's intOxicants alone.
There are no exceptions to the
rule that the man who habit
ually drinks to excess will lose his po-
sition, his money, the esteem and re-
spect Of his friends and, eventually,
his own self respect.

NO BRIBERY LAW.

T HE fact that the Missouri legisla-
ture failed TO pass Governor Folks
anti-bribery law is altogether to the
discre dit Of that Republican body. Gov
ernOr Folk desired the passage of a
measure which would compel bride
givers and bride takers 70 testify
against their fellow criminals. Under
the present law they can not be made
to, testify, for they can plead that it is
improper TO require them to incriminate
themselves.
The Folk law would have compelled
such testimony and at the same time
il would have protected from prosecu-
ton those who gave it. in the event
that their own testimony was all the
evidence against them. 1t is mani
testify impossible, as Governor Folk
said in a message to the legislature, TO
secure convictions in bribery cases
without testimony from the inside"
All other testimony must necessarily
be second hand and hearsay III char.
acter.
The Legislature substituted for the
=ONtA liOi = DAil one diiilNA dt Nlit DuIiCA
case. In that instance Butler was
convicted of bribing a health officer TO
give him a garbage contract but the
supreme court freed the defendant on
the purely technical ground that the
health officer who was admittedly
bribed had 10 authority TO award the
contract in question. The bill passed
by the legislature provides for the
punishment of givers of brides to any
official who is proceeding undsr color
of law, even if he does exceed his
authority. It is too late to catch
Butler on this point, however, and it
is extremely unlikely that a similar
case will arise in Missouri.
But little more could have been ex-
pected from the Missouri legislature.
/ was so busy squabbIing over the
senatorship that it had no time to de-
vote to the. passage of first class Iegis-
Iation. Besides, the character OF the
legislature-it was made up largely of
political acCidents-was not high. The
failure TO pass the bill largely nuIIifies
the good effect of Governor Folks
campaign. but, as he is to have an
other. and we hope better, Legislature
to deal with before the expiration of
his term, he may have better fortune.

WATER METERS.

7 I MIGHT NOT BE Il bad idea. if it
can be done legally. to spend a por-
ton Of the money to be derived from
the water bond issue in the purchase
o. water meters. 1T has been demon
strated beyond the peradventure of a
doubt that water meters greatly de-
crease the consumption OF water, at
the same time giving householders all
the water they reasonably need.
With meter attached to his service
pipe the average householder would
not let the water run for an hour in
the summer in order 10 get a cool
drink or all night i'm winter to keep it
from freezing. Neither would he sneak
a hose to a secluded place on his lawn
and allow the water to run for many
hours on end
No hardship IS caused by the use Of
nrsters- The price OF water can be
fixed at Il rate that will not be i'm ex-
cess of reasonable figures. At the
same time those who want more water
would be able TO secure it by the simple
process Of paying for it. y writer on
this subject i'm the Municipal Journal
and Engineer says:
Authorities repeatedly call attention
t. the fact that turning off the water
ia the cellar is effective against freez-
ing and is the proper method: that the
abnormal waste is a great danger both
tc health and to property. But warm
inSs seem of no avail
The only efficient means of control
appears to be by the use of meters. as
is shown by the statistics of Mil
waukce, where with 81. 600 meters in
use the daily per capita consumption il
1Oi gallons. an amount that is liberal
without being excessive.
The raising of insurance rates: the
loss of power to supply ones neighbors
on the upper floors: the danger of a
water famine: the threat Of prosecution
for violation OF an ordinance. are
readily defied, but when it comes to
paying hard cash for The privilege OF
wasting water that has been accurately
measured through meter. the con-
sumer hesitates and finds a cheaper
remedy in stopping the flow at the eel
lar"
Water meters in salt Lake would
check the careless user and they
would. i'm large measure, do away with
worry over water famiue possibilities

STREET RAILWAY FIGURES.

NEARLY SIX BILLION passengers
" we've carried on the street rail-
ways Of the country during the year
ending June so, 1902, according to a
report issued recently by the depart
mcnt of commerce and labor Eighty
two per cent of these passengers paid
cash fares. The others We're carried
on transfers and passes. The increase
in street railway mileage during the
tv eIve years from 1880 to 1902 was phe-
uomenaI. The total single track mile
age in 1890 was SIPS. In 1902 it was
22,577- During the same period the
mileage per company increased from
1886 to 1888.
The average number of employees in
1902 was 14O769. They received in
wages and salaries more than SIS. 600, -
600. The payments of this character,
by the way formed SIS per cent of the
total operating expenses, which goes
to show that in the street car indus
try the wage Garner gets more of the
money than in any other business. Yet
individually they are not very well
paid. the average wages being 50 per
day for conductors and mOtormen.
Some of the accident statistics in the
report viii doubtless prove Of interest.
Twelve hundred and eighteen persons
were 7iIIed and 47.429 were injured in
1902 by street railway lines. The re-
port continues.

lNTOxIcANTS IN FRANCE.

mr. POITOU DCPLESSY, an emil
II unnt French scientist. made some
striking statements the other day in an
address in Paris on the drink evil After
speaking Of the great increase I'm the
consumption OF lntoxicants in France
DR.. DupIessy said that tue gradual dis
appearance Of the family IN that coun-
try could be attributed directly TO it.
He declared that degenerary would be
sure to follow unless some check for
the drink habit could be found.
The doctor said, further. that drink
IS A prime factor IN causing tubercu-
losis. madness, misery and crime Now
there is nothing particularly new in
DR.. DupIessy's position. The surpris-
ing thing is that he had the courage
of his convictions France is not
nation OF drunkards but statistics
show that the people there drink almost
as a rule. That IS. there are fewer to-
tai abstainers. in France. in proportion
TO population. than in any other coun-
try.
1t has long been a wei known fact
that families are small in France. It
is also 4 well known fact that until
one gets out into the country among
the peasant classes the general health
o. the people is at u low ebb. The
French believe in living merry lives
and short ores. DR.. Duplessy believes
the welfare OF the people is endangered
by the use of intoXicants. The records
justify his belief. And what is true of
the dangers of drink in France is equal
~ true of its dangers all over the
world.
Nobody recognizes this fact more
