A FEDERAL LAW NEEDED.

As one argument in favor of na- tional pure food law The Boston Trans cript has the following illustration:
 "A manufacturer in Rhode Island may adulterate food or drugs and snip them into Illinois. and so long as they be sold there When the package is broken, however, by the retailer, and the adulterated goods are scattered the pure food commissioner of Illinois, through the courts may deal with tns retailer, not with the manufacturer or the shipper"
 Plainly, this is a case of imposing a penalty on the wrong party. The re- taller in Illinois is not to blame, for he has no means of knowing that the food has been adulterated, but he is made to suffer for the act of an un- scrupulous manufacturer in another State. The law says somebody must be punished, and as it is not possible for the Illinois law to punish the Rhode island man, the innocent dealer reaps the penalty. It seems that the only hope of stopping the adulteration is by Federal law.
 To a certain extent this may seem like an intrusion on. the rights of the States to regulate all internal affairs in their own way, but we have in va rious ways departed in recent years from the strict construction doctrine of Calhoun and his disciples. Whether that departure has always been for st, t~ ioI, hal will always be differences of opinion. We are free to say that in some in- stances the change has not been best, either for the States, the people or the government, but 1t Is useless to dis cuss that matter just now. for it is hardly pertinent.
 The question of pure food has really became a matter of national import ance. In other words, we must look on it as n national question, just as we have learned to consider certain Fed eral laws as being right and proper. though they may in some degree tread on the toes of the strict believers in States rights. If, by the strict enforce ment of national quarantine regula- tions, and by other means. the govern ment can prevent yellow fever, cholera or other pestuence from obtaining foothold in any State we are not going to complain that the Federal govern ment has transcended its powers.
 We regard the pure food question very much in the same way: It is a matter which affects every citizen of the United States, of all ages, classes and conditions, and it is an evil that can only be put down by determined and united effort. No local laws can abate or prevent the adulteration of foods, drugs and drinks, because the local laws of one State cannot reach and punish offenders in another. The illus tration given by The Boston Transcript Is conclusive evidence on this point. The laws of Illinois cannot reach and punish the real criminals in Rhode Island, and so it is of other States. If we can get Federal laws that will pre- vent the literal poisoning of the peo- pie, and will punish all who attempt 1t, we shall not complain that the rights of the States have been tram pled under foot

Get Rid of Vitality sappera.


 Debt is great force waster, be- cause very few men or women can be heavily in debt without worrying or being anxious. If you are so deeply involved that it is impossible to extri- cate yourself without going through bankruptcy, then take your bitter med icine at once. and start again, no mat ter who criticises or denounces you. Pay your debt in full afterward, when you are able. Get rid of all vitality sappers. If you have taken an unfor- tunate step, retrace it if you can.
 If you have made a mstake, remedy 1t as far as it is in your power to do so i: but when you have done your best, let the thing drop forever. Do not drag its skeleton along with you. Never allow what is dead and should be buried to keep bobbing up and draining off your life capital in worry or vain regrets.
 Do not do anything or touch any thing which will lower your vitality.

NORTH CARoLINA's GOVERNOR.
Has Something to Say About the Suit
 Brought by south Dakota.

drought by south DakOta.
 Raleigh Special to Washington Post.
 The annual message of Governor Aycock was read today in both houses.
 The Governor devotes much space to the South Dakota bond suit and the decision of the United States Supreme Court against North Carolina, together with a history of the suit in detail. He says the settlement of the debt in 1873 was honorable and just, and that he Is equally certain that the Jurisdiction of the United States courts over this mat ter has been secured by chicanery. He has reason to believe the judgment of S27,000 may be settled for much less sum, for if the stock was sold 1t would not bring more than two-thirds Of the judgment. What shall be done with the bonds remaining outstanding if this judgment be compromised is matter for the grayest consideration, he says. The holders may give them to some State. and then if the present decision stands the whole value of the pledged stock can be collected; but it is not probable that the holders will feel dis posed to transfer all of these bonds as gift to any State that may. be will ing to lend itself to the beginning of the suit against sister State. He says it is safe to say, therefore, that the outstanding bonds may be settled at much less than their face value and that It ought to De an easy matter to effect settlement at a reasonable rate.
 Referring to public education, the Governor deprecates any attempts to raise the race issue on the question of education. He says that having divest- ed the negro of political power, it is manifestly the States duty to make of him the best citizen of which he is capable, and this can certainly never be done by leaving him to his own devices or by withdrawing from him the small amount of taxes which the whites devote to his education.
 The Governor is impressed with the necessity of ceasing all agitation which leads to the embitterment and estrangement of the negro, because as these increase large numbers of negroes will leave the State. North Carolina's greatest need today is more labor, and it is the height of folly, he says, to continue to bring about con ditions which lessen the amount of labor in the State, but, on the contra ry, every encouragement should be given by fair treatment, even by gener- ous consideration, to stop the emigra- ton of this important part of our labor.
 As to divorce, the Governor urgently recommends the repeal of all laws creating causes of divorce other than those in the code of 1883, as wedlock ought, he says, save for Scriptural causse, to be inviolable.

MONDAY, JANUARY 9, 1905.

The Boston Watchman is up against a conundrum. Speaking of lawyers us- ing their skill and talents to save criminal from punishment 1t pro- nounces 1t "a curious commentary on the force and form of usage above real truth and righteousness that lawyers alone of all others are considered en- titled to take the position of accesso- ries in crime and to share in the profits of fraud. But aside from custom it is impossible to show why a lawyer who aids in the escape of q criminal from his just punishment, or enables an at- tempt at fraud to be successfully car ried out. should not be punshied as an accomplice, as any other person would be who did exactly the same thing"
 Perhaps so. but if the evident mean ing of The watchman should be strictly carried out how could a criminal ever get a lawyer to defend him?

In An Uncomfortable Fix.

New York Evening Post.
 There are conflicting reports this morning touching MT. Paul Morton's position. He has explained things to the President, and all Is we'll. But he also has not explained, and all is not we'll; the Republican leaders are re- ported to be getting very nervous over the situation. Mr. Morton's case has certainly not been strengthened by Representative Bakers offering q reso- lution respectfully inquiring whether Mir Morton's retention in the cabinet is conducive to the public interest and in harmony with Mir. Roosevelt's last message. But what will hurt him still more IS the revival of his testimony be- fore the Interstate Commerce Commits sion in Washington on December l9. 1901, when the present Secretary of the Navy said, in reply to a question: Yes. sir, 1t was an illegal contract. It was Illegal when We made it, and we knew that" Whether MT. Morton can still be punished for this violation of the law, is open to question. But there is no gainsaying the fact that Baker has put MT Roosevelt in very awkward fix. One who has been so vigorous in enforcing laws from the time he was Commissioner of Police in this citv to the present day, cannot be pleased to find at his council table a confessed violator of the law. Young men who do things" are, of course, desirable adjuncts to strenuous cabinet. but sometimes it Is well to find out in ad- vance just what they have done.

FIFTY COMMON BIRDS.
Circular Compiled by c. D. Howe and
Published by the Department of
Education.

Fifty Common Birds of Vermont is
the title Of a 92-page circular, written
by Principal Carlton ID. Howe Of Essex
Junction and just issued by the de-
partment OF education of the state of
Vermont. The book in both manner and
matter is a most interesting and valu-
able guide to the study of the common
birds of the state. Mr.. Howe, who is
president Of the Audubon society of
Vermont and an active member OF the
Vermont Bird club, is recognized as one
of the leading naturalists of the state
and in bringing out the present publ
cation he has made all bird lovers his
debtor.
The circular is introduced by note
from Walter E. Ranger, superintendent
of education, and then follow a few
pages on the economic value of birds.
how to attract the birds. and instruc-
tons to teachers as to how the school
children can be interested in bird study.
The main matter of the circular con-
sists OF a careful and painstalxing study
Of so of the most common birds to be
found in the state and includes in each
case description Of the bird, the time
of its arrival, favorite haunts. field
marks, vocal note and other data of its
life habits. The work is approached
from the view of the naturalist rather
than the scientist and will on that ac-
count commend itself to all classes OF
bird lovers, especially to the laity. The
work everywhere evidences the careful
study and thorough knowledge Of bird
lore upon the part Of the author.

birds Of Brattleboro and vicinity fur

Are Animals Sympathetic?

John Burroughs in the current issue
Of Outing; An Iowa correspondent asks
me to give him my opinion as to wheth-
er or not dumb animals have sympathy,
and added that minister at funeral
in their town had said that no animal
except man was capable of sympathy.
/ agree with the minister. Sympathy,
think, is beyond the lower animals.
When we sympathize with person we
put ourselves in his or her place; we
feel sorry for him; we pity him; we
would gladly alleviate his suffering
all Of which implies more or less imagi-
nation and disinterested regard, Sus-
ceptibility to the sufferings of others is
one OF many higher attributes. When
sympathy was born the race lifted
above the purely animal plane. The
next step IS taking the sufferings of
others upon yourself, which is the high
est form OF altruism. Pure selfshness
rules the lower animals, and necessar-
lily so. Sympathy is not necessary for
the continuance Of the species, but affee-
ton for their young is. Animals GER
tainly have feeling Of comTadeship
for each other and experience something
like grief at separation, yet dog or
d cat or d horse or cow viii sniff at
the body Of its dead fellow with APP
parent unconcern. A cry Of distress
among the birds will bring every bird
within hearing to the spot, and cause
them to BIO more or less agitated, but
it is because they are alarmed for their
own safety; common enemy may be
about. In the herd and the flock a
sick or wounded member is often fallen
upon by its fellows and destroyed If
any animal ever experiences the emotion
we call sympathy, it is, Of course, the
dog. The dog has SO long been the COM
panion Of man that he often shows
IN his nature trace of the purely
human.
