Those socialistic economists who
are forever trying to apply Darwin s
theory of the survival of the fittest to
man, forget that for at least two thou
sand years the whole human race, ex-
cept the wild savages, have been work
ing on exactly the opposite theory. The
weak are preserved, the helpless are
fed and clothed; the old are cherished
and cared for There has been in
jected into man law of love, and the
law of self-preservation as the first
and only law has been superseded.
1t is a waste of time and energy to
follow these materialists and forever
be reminding them that in applying to
human society the law of struggle and
survival they forget that the great end
and purpose of organized or civilized
society is to arrest and turn aside the
operation of what are called cosmic
forces and substitute what we may call
moral law. If there were no such
thing as a moral law, if there were no
such emotion as love, Mr.. Clients the
DRY Of economic force as the basis of
all ethics, might stand.

Still at It

Albert S. Bolles has written a good
many books on banks and banking
and is a lecturer for the University
of Pennsylvania and Harvard college.
He starts out in one of his works to
tell what money is, and says:
The transformation of metals into
coins does not affect their value. This
truth can not be too firmly grasped
Now that is the sort Of lies that is
being taught to the young men of
those two schools. The author and
lecturer can not but know they are
lies. Did he ever see silver dollar?
Does he know the market value Of
uncoined silver bullion? Does not the
transformation of silver bullion into
coin affect it's value? Mr.. Bolles
knows it does. He knows that the
value is more than doubled by coin
age. Yet he goes on writing and speak
ing his lies. His statement is not
even true of gold under the govern
ment fiat that all gold presented at
the mint shall be transformed into
coin at public expense. Coined gold
and uncoined gold bullion are no.
where the same value unless it is
within a few steps of a mint. The
cost of shipping it to the mint is al
ways deducted.
Some people imagine that the gold
standard thieves have learned enough
to stop teaching and writing their
falsehoods, as they don't see much
about it in the papers, but they have

is William p. Pierson and he lives at
Onarga, Ill. When the editor of The
Independent was a young newspaper
man, working on a paper in st. Louis,
he noticed for several days papers
piled up at the door of a fine resi-
dence which he passed. As they con-
tinued to accumulate, he made in
quiries and got on to nice little story
for publication. The last member of
the family had died few days pre-
vious and there were no known rela-
tives, although at one time the family
consisted of twelve, the father and
mother and ten children. One by one
they had all died, the father the last
of all. He had been subscriber to
the Missouri Republican for fifty
years and the paper was still being
left ats-the door, Two of the sons
of this family had been killed in the
union army and three in the confed-
crate. All the rest had died OF dis
ease. Three of them had been mar
ried but died childless. The father
was an orphan boy who came to this
country from Scotland when very
young. The mother was the only child
of Kentucky parents, who died when
she was very young. The man had
been true to his paper all his life. The
Missouri Republican had been named
away back in the days Of Jefferson or
soon afterward, for republican" was
the name of Jeffersons party.

A much needed reform in the rail-

as soon as the existing concessions
expire, which will be within a few
years for the last of them. The colony,
aided financially by France, is to buy
up all the lines, and is to establish

to prove a greater boon to Algeria.

Theodore Gibson Dead.

Last night at midnight the spirit of

50 long will be seen among men no
more.
Mr.. Gibson had been an invalid for
several years, and fought hard fight
against the inrosds of disease, but
finally laid down his life and passed
out of the ranks. Mr.. Gibson had been
identified with the newspaper business
in this city for the past twenty. five
or more years, and most of the time
he had been connected with the firm
of Deming & Gibson, which at the
time of his death was publishing the
Daily Visitor and Weekly Advocate.
Deceased was still comparatively a
young man, and almost his entire life
had been spent here among this peo-
pie.

mourn his death, and they have the
