Virtue has made another home run BY
a vote OF l26 10 SO the Massachusetts, House
of Representatives has refused so to amend
the ~semicolon' law as to permit licensed
innholders to sell liquor until midnight.

law, we believe, that u man has not the right
to stay himself with flagons even in his own

policemen without a warrant, Moreover,
he may be jagged on the strength Of his

received by policeman's nostrils.
A sad place for the wet Still, 1t would
be a mistake to rate too high the passion Of
Massachusetts, for sumptuary restraints.
The philosophy Of liquor regulation or
prohibition in Massachusetts, rests on two
grand propositions:
/. Mind somebody else's business.
?. Drink out Of flask: it * cheaper.

New York In the Constructive Nile
age Grab.

The Forty-second Congress earned
deathes4 dishonor by voting to It's mem
beers, on the eve Of adjournment, a retro =
active increase of salary There was
nothing in the Constitution or statutes
to prevent the great back pay grab OF
March 3, 1873: but that cowardly ana
greedy performance encountered retrlb-
utive Justice in the form Of public opn-
ion. and the stripes left 10y the lash were
lasting
Dav before Yesterday the House Of
REPRESENTATIVES of the Fifty-eighth Con-
gress by a vote Of % to 10, fastened upon
the General Deficiency Appropriation
bill an allowance Of 100000, or there
abouts, to pay Senator'S and Representa-
tives mileage from Washington To their
homes. and from their homes back to the
capital, during the "infnltesmaI recess
OF December 1909
No such journey was made 10y any
Senator or member of the House. No
claim, moral or legal, exists for one dollar
of travelling expense when there was
no travelling. and could be no travelling.
Tho whole theory of the constructive
recess, set up for political reasons by
ingenious executive mathematicians and
Neutrality-suspicious. at a time of executive
\ emergency. has Just been demolished by
The Senate cJ.hmittees report on the
subject, prepared by Mr. SPooNER Yet
even if metaphysics tolerated the idea OF
the infinitesimal recess, ordinary hon
esty and a decent regard for public opin-
ion would forbid its employment as a
pretext for the transfer of public money
from the Treasury 10 pockets OF the trus-
tees Of that public money by the votes
OF those trustees The transaction is as
UNANIMOUSLY immoral as the grab which
distinguished the last hours Of the
Forty-second Congress-.
We observe that the 100000 raid upon
the Treasury was led by New York
Congressman, tho Hon. JIM SHERMAN
of Utica. Nine other New York mem
5ers, we are sorry to say, were among
the Hon. "JIM's' accomplices. This is
the list which concerns the citizens of
the Empire State:
JAMES s. SHERMAN Of Utica Republican.
WILLIAM II. DRAPER OF IansinEburg.

JOHN j. FITZGERALD of brooklyn.

JOSEPH A. GouIDEN of Fordham.

lican

Itoan.
FRANK r WILSON OF BROOKLYN. Democrat.
-Four Republicans aud six Democrats
No party lines in Graft
The good fame of the Congress about
to expire rests now with the Senate.
Surely "A project OF petty larceny like
the constructive mileage grab will get
no help AT that end of the Capitol!

Hoch Unable TO Attend.

Over 700 delegates attended the Kan

Topeka last week. E. w. Hoch, gov
ernor-elect, was to have delivered the
address OF welcome, but was unavoid-
ably absent. T. A. McNeal, the newly
appointed private secretary, spoke In
his stead. IF there's anything In this
town you want" said he. why, take
it. It's not mine and you're welcome
TO it." In referring to the inadequate
educational facilities afforded by the
average country school in Kansas, he
said: IF had my way, would tear
out the country school houses and com
bine several districts into one. |
would then build one schoolhouse to
take the place of the old ones which
would be a marvel of architectural

TALES OF THE TITLED.

The Duchess Cec.!e, of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin. whom the crown prince OF
Germany Is to marry, has been brought
up in many respects after the fashion OF
the German housewife. She is prof.
cient in all domestic duties, and said 10
be first-class cook.
The little prince of Piedmont, unlike
his sisters. Princesses Yolanda and Ma
falda, is being nursed by his mother.
Queen Helene reluctantly gave the other
children up to the nurse, but when the
ong-hoped-for heir to the throne ar
rived she absolutely refused to let any
other than herself give him nourish-
ment.
King Leopold. OF Belgium, has APP
pointed Henry Gabriels, bishop OF the
Catholic diocese Of Ogdensburg. an OIL
Ger Of the Royal Order of Leopolcs,
which was founded by the first king OF
Belgium. This honor recognizes the
labors of Bishop Gabriels in his writ
ings on various subjects published in
Belgium and the services frequently ex-
tended by him to emigrants from Bel
GUM to this country.
Lord Charles Beresford, the comman-
der in-chief of the Channel fleet. Is as
popular in political circles as he is In
the navy. In the house of commons his
speeches were always invariably good
humored. and marked with sound COM
mon sense. On one occasion Lord
Charles created a roar Of laughter by
explaining how he would deal with cap
tured slave traders. I'd give these men
q fair trial, Mr.. Speaker" said he, and
then I'd hang them!"
When she was Consuelo Vanderbilt
the duchess OF Marlborough had a sweet
yoice-not remarkable for its timbre,
but pleasing-and she used to shock her
musical instructors little by display
ing a decided liking for the quaint
melodies of the old plantation darkies.
Now, even as a stately and digniiied
duchess, she loves to sing these old bal
lads and the more modern coon" songs
for the entertainment of her friends,
and she has made the melodies so popu-
lar they have become all the rage in the
families of the nobility. The duchess
of Westminster has taken them up, and
so has Princess Henry. of Pless.

HABITS CHAIN.
Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed
and Hard to Break.

An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount Of will power neces-
sary to break a lifelong habit would,
II 1t could be transformed, lift q
weight of many tons.
It sometimes requires higher de-
gree of heroism to break the chains OF
a pernicious habit than to lead a for
lorn hope in a bloody battle. A lady
writes from an Indiana town:
"From my earliest childhood / was
n lover OF coffee. Before was out
of my teens / was miserable dys-
peptic, suffering terribly at times with
my stomach.
81 was convinced that 1t was coffee
that was causing the trouble and yet
I could not deny myself a cup for
breakfast At the age Of S6 was In
very poor health, indeed. My Sister
told me / was in danger Of becoming
n coffee drunkard.
But / never could give up drinking
coffee for breakfast although It kept
me constantly Ill. until / tried Postum
I learned to make 1t properly accord
ang to directions, and now we can
hardly do without Postum for break
fast, and care nothing at all for Gomez

me so when I drank coffee" Name
