their individual capacity, if they think
it wise to do SO. The whole question
is one merely Of private Judgment as
to the extent and the manner. IN which
the thing is done.
That The Journal has always
stood for the liberty of the citizen to
compel the enforcement of any exist
ing law against the liquor traffic is
evidenced by it's attitude in opposition
to the Rand ordinance and in support
of the Clark ordinance. On these lines
its record is clear. If the opponents of
the Sunday saloon have any quarrel
with the attitude of this paper, it must
be confined solely to the question of
the timeliness of recent individual in,
tervention calculated to interfere with
and embarrass an administration which
has amply demonstrated its disposition
and its desire to promote in every prac.
ticable way the welfare Of this com.
munity.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
.. .- Sunday Closing.
To the Editor Of The journal.


The urnal s editorial paragraph
suggesting that no good man will seek the
office of mayor in this city as long as peo-
pie interfere with his policies is correct.
Anybody can see that. Then, too, the
later editorial In reply to the letter of
G. P. Cooper is consistently carrying on
T h e J O r n l s idea that the mayor
is all right. OF course it would not do to
go too far towards securing the right con-
dition of things in the city, taking the
laws we already have on the books as a
standard. When man is elected mayor
he should be mayor Folks who are just
people ought not to interfere. 1t is dis
couraging for a man when he outlines a
policy to have disinterested citizens i'm
pose their views upon the administration.
Take for example Doc ,Ames. He
thought the best thing was to let the
gambling places run open and a lot of
people who probably. rarely patronized
a gambling joint raised row and dis
turbance about it and drove the doctor out
Of town. What business was it of theirs?
They had lost no money. These hare
Drained fanatics would say that Doc
Ames had taken his oath to enforce the
law, but every practical man knows that
the official oath is mere matter OF legal
form for all practical purposes. The
mayor might just as well say "Twinkle,
twinkle, little star, how I wonder what
you are?" excepting it wouldn't sound
quite so dignihed and grandiloquent.
Take the present mayor. He believes
the best thing under the circumstances
is to let the saloons run open on Sunday
and ninety-nine out of every 100 OF the
we'll intentioned but fanatical people that
are fighting him are total absta1ners.
Some fanatical people urge that there has
been a murder or two committed In this
city on account Of the Sunday saloon.
but nobody has heard the man that was
murdered nor the man who committed
the murder nor the family make any COM
plant against the Sunday saloon. It's a
| lot Of people that weren't there at all. -
But some one argues: There may be an
other murderer who is a relative of some
of the crusaders. Surprising there Is; 1t
Is time enough to squeal, when one is
hurt. Let these good people mind their
own business. Whenever there is a muir
der committed in saloon on Sunday, the
| mayor will shut that saloon on Sunday,
at least he has done so In some instances
/ in the past.
But the Sunday saloon Is popular

Responsibility Of Public Functionarles.
To the Editor of The Journal.
In your editorial in the issue of Sept.
you are exactly right when you state that
the state fair association Is morally re-
sponsible for damages for death Of one
Of it's patrons on the rusty, rickety Ferris
wheel. But as has been stated in public
prints, the associa ton has, by a recent
act of the legislature, BEEN placed on the
same footing as other corporations exer-
cising public functions, and is not liable
legally, however much they are so In a
moral sense.
This is only one instance of the short
sightedness and 'inhumanity of man to
man." The elevators in our courthouse
and city hall are under the same unjust
and impolitic regulation. No one can be
legally injured In a public building owned
by state or municipality. The policeman
may beat the innocent citizen to death
while nominally his protector. and the
citizen has no recourse on the state or
city, He Is driven to sue on the officers
bond and when in court the bond is read
it Is found to be up to the city to hold it
harmless from any action Of the officer
and thus even this fragile protection van
ishes. g..
The guard at the workhouse may put a
prisoner drilling in an unexploded hole
already charged with powder and when it
explodes while the drill is still there and
blows off the hand Of the vagrant the lat
ter has no recourse against the city what
ever. This actually occurred. .s.. S.
Your remarks in the editorial are sound
but you mention but one class Of many
which are Of kind and which should be
the subject Of immediate remedy by the
state legislature. w. E. Hewitt.

A New Specially.

Ours is a day Of specialization and
fine distinctions in all things social,
financial or political. The business or
professional man who specializes is
generally the successful one. So also
in the political realm, the man who
follows along particular line, or the
organization that raises single issue
and stands on it works into publicity
and leadership, even if not always into
success. +.- MILL. s..
In higher politics, where brains and
character count, and in the lower polit-
ical strata, where the pull is paramount
and the ward heeler is king, the same
thing maintains. Here there is always
something new, some division or subdi-
vision of something old, and the latest
Of these, emanating from Tammany,
that source Of new things in low poll
tics, is "honest graft.''
| In the political comment of the east
a Tammany member is reported as
saying with reference to the saloon and
social evil, from which once came an
enormous revenue, "Why should the
Tammany leaders go into such dirty
business when there is so much honest
graft lying around? With the oppor-
tunities for man with political pull,
there is no excuse for stealing a cent?
Here is the distinction drawn fine.
Just as the general public has become
familiar with the comparatively new
word "graft' and has begun thoroly
to understand it's meaning and all that
follows, the division is made, and today
we must distinguish between plain, or
binary graft, or stealing, and honest
graft, or, presumably, that higher form
OF stealing, which, passing over the
rumshop and the brothel as means of
revenue, concerns itself only with the
big things in the field, as the municipal
or state contract or other deal involv.
ing the absorption of thousands in a
lump.
1t is highly probable that the. term
"honest graft'' is here to stay, and
will be heard from in the next great
campaign. SS

What the Sunshine Society Does.

For some time the society has been
looking after poor, crippled and helpless
woman, who beyond the small sum Of So
month has nothing whatever for her
support Various members have visited
her two or three times a week and the
Coreopsis branch pays for the help OF
little girl to go every gay and attend TO
the room and see that the invalid has
fuel and fresh water. When the society
first discovered her it was found that
often for days in winter she had been
unable to leave her room to get fuel from
the shed and there had been several days
in succession when she had been without
fresh water to drink Twenty years ago
the woman had an operation which was
not properly done and which left her an
invalid, At first she was able to help her
herself. but for the past several years
she has been helpless most of the time
with rheumatism.
The society is now arranging to send
the woman to Hot Springs, Ark, to the
Sunshine home, of which Mrs. George
Eastman, formerly OF this city, is the
leading spirit One of the Sunshiners has
procured the transportation, even to the
Pullman sleeper and if there is vacancy
in the home she will be sent at once.
The Crawford branch has been sewing
for her and others are helping provide
the necessary clothing. 1t is hoped
that she may be kept at the springs all
winter to see if fair trial of the baths
may not restore her health.

A Possible Tripartite Alliance

The new Anglo-Japanese treaty Of
alliance, which takes the place Of the
old one having year vet to run, is the
Japanese answer to the mutterings in
Russia of resuming the contest when
she is rested. The new treaty is
stronger than the old, inasmuch as it
leaves out the option of one ally not
coming to the aid Of the other unless
attacked by more than one power. This
was one of the provisions of the treaty
between Russia and France also, and its
Importance in combining the war to the
far east and to the original contestants
was not less important than the treaty
between England and Japan. In fact
1t may be said that it was these treaties
and the deal made by John Hay, where
by the warning nations agreed to limit
their military operations to Manchuria,
which very likely saved the civilized
world from falling into the caldron of
this conflict. Had the war wandered
into neutral territory, there would prob
ably have been treading upon toes
which would have produced friction
enough to light the fires of war in
France and Germany.
The old treaty gave Japan her oppor-
tunity. Great Britain played the part
Of the big brother, holding back the
crowd while Japan gave Russia the
drubbing she so richly deserved
I The new treaty is intended to safe
guard what Japan had earned. 1t is
a close interdefensive alliance which
covers all the mutual interests Of the
allied nations thru the world from Per
STA east to the limits of Japan. So
long as it lasts and so long as Japan
and England remain supreme on the
sea, Russia will not reach the ocean bv
way of China or Persia She will not
attack India now for she will invite
thereby an assault upon her by the ter
rlble Japanese infantry. She has had
enough of that.
The new alliance, it is easily predica-
bic, may include at no distant time
France as well. If it should the polio
ing Of the ocean will be in the hands of
as competent seafghting nations as
the world has ever known. France,
which has had an unhappy time as the
ally of lubberly Russia, has within a
few weeks had real fever of affection
for Great Britain. The fleets have
fraternized, the parliaments of the two
countries have exchanged visits, the
cabinets have agreed on liberal arbitra-
tion treaties, and everything has looked
like the remarriage of divorces. Eng
land and France have not been so near
together since they fought side by side
in the Crimea. ..
Moreover it has not been all senti-
ment. England supported France in
her claim of preponderant interests in
Morocco, and together they have re-
Gently bluffed the kaiser into allowing
q the submission by France to Morocco
of an ultima tum. The kaiser at first
let it be known that he did not favor
a French military and naval demonstra-
tion against Morocco just before the
conference which has been called. Eng.

The Money Supply.

One great American industry, about
which few ever stop, to think, is that
of the manufacture of money. A gov
eminent proposition, it is an industry
none the less, doing a great business,
employing skilled labor and working
always to keep pace with the wonder
full growth of population and increase,
or at least maintain that shifting and
changing decimal unit so carefully
watched by the financial statistician-
the per capita circulation.
During the month Of August our gov
eminent issued new circulation of all
kinds of $16,756,753. This is big lot
of money, but merely nominal sum
relative to the whole. Already there
was in the country, in transit from
hand to hand, or in the commercial
and savings banks, the safes of firms or
corporations, the tills of smaller mer-
chants, the pay envelopes of the work
ing man, the purses of housewives, or
! the pockets of the small boys, paper
money, gold, silver, nickel and copper
of the grand total of $2,604 ,902, 30l.
The August output raised ii. to $2,621,
| 659,054. Going back year, the in
crease today is $63,379,O70. This is
the money actually in circulation, and
does not include the government re-
serve,- or the working balance in the
| treasury Offices.
Today there is not only more money
| in the country than ever before in ITS
history, but also q larger per capita
distribution. The statistician OF the
treasury department has estimated the
population of the United States to
Sept. l at S3,493,00O. This makes the
average $31.40 for every man, woman
and child. On Aug. l it was $3l.29
Sept l year ago, $31.16, and on Sept
l, 1908, only $1,000. Thus, the money
industry, working against the minimiz'
ing effect of increasing population, not
only held it's own, but in two years
| raised the per capita circulation by
$3.50.
With all this money passing around
it would seem absurd to talk of money
scarcities, nor is there, indeed, any i'm
mediate likelihood of stringency. Yet
the total, great as it is, is none toe
large for the business of the country
and good management is necessary tc
prevent scarcity, which,, thanks to q
sound economic system and skill il
finance second to none in the world
our country avoids, except at occasional
times of extreme pressure.
! We produced in the United States
last year cereal crops Of the aggregate
total of 4,094,46S,000 bushels, which
had farm value Of $1,964, 579,445, ant
this year we have done much better
With the problem Of the turning of this
produce into cash, coming upon the reg
ular business of the country, it will b.
seen that We need much money in cir
culation to keep things moving with

THE BOSTON HERALD'S GREAT
sr GROWTH.
BOSTON Press.


Since Colonel William E. Haskell re-
turned to the home of his boyhood days
and grasped the helm Of the great Boston
Herald's ship, swonderful strides have
been made. both In circulation and in adj
vertising, as well as in maintaining the
strong and impregnable position which
this newspaper had attained. The very
latest Of modern methods were introduced
to gain circulation and with results Of a
very satisfactory nature Always a
great newspaper, the Herald, under the
magic touch Of Colonel Haskells hand,
soon began to develop tremendous adj
vertising patronage, and in most every
line it is today carrying the largest copy
of any Boston publication. One Of the
most satisfactory matters which have
come up in this connection is the strong
results which advertisers are receiving by
using the Herald. It is understood that
the Herald is to move within year, and
that it will then occupy the most modern
newspaper structure in the world

An incompetent Judge.

In another column may be found
communication from w. G. Calder
wood, secretary of the state prohibit
ton committee, on the much discussed
question of the Sunday saloon. Mr..
Calderwood betrays his disqualifca-
ton for fair and intelligent judgment
of the mayors course by displaying
his inability to discriminate between
the present administration and that of
DR.. Ames. 49,.
Perhaps this is one reason why we
do not have better administrations in
this city. There are so many people
who are unwilling to concede that there
is any middle ground in these matters
of police regulation, that they are not
willing to give credit for any progress
made which does not reach the extent
of their ideal H..
Mr.. Calderwood belongs to party
which in the last election cast in this
city less than 800 votes, a party which
casts less than half as many votes in
this state now as it did sixteen years
ago. But Mr.. Calderwood's criticism,
like that of all those who have been
pounding the mayor thru T h e Jour
n a s columns, seems to assume that
the mayor is in favor of the Sunday
saloon. There is, however, no iustifca-
ton for any such assumption. On the
other hand, there is every evidence to
the contrary. Not only the mayors Of

tradicts that assumption fatty. #
He comes into office, however, find
ing the Sunday saloon in existence.
We are not authorized to speak for
him, but, as we understand him, he
finds connected with the question of
the closing of the Sunday saloon a
great many other matters Of impor-
lance, matters Of perhaps even more
Importance than the closing of the
saloon on Sunday-matters at least
which he seems to think should be at
tended to first. Those who Ebuse him for
his failure to proceed at once against
the Sunday saloon not only do not appre-
ciate' the Importance Of these other con
siderations, but assume that the clos
ing Of the saloon on Sunday is about
the only thing of real consequence.
Probably they think SO because none of
them have ever been mayor.
AS to the action of the Home Protec-
ton league in proceeding against the
Sunday saloon, as The. Journal
has already said, it is quite within the
privilege of private individuals or mem
bers Of any organization, to take such
action either as an organization or in

ALGERNON CHARLES SWIM
BURNE,S RESURREcTED NOVEL;

ALGERNoN CHARLES SWIM
BuRNE'S REsURREcTED NOVEL,
Despite much adverse criticism of Loves
Cross Currents, recently resurrected
product of Algernon Charles Swinburne's
literary youth, there is much to be said
in defense of the story as piece of liter
airy art. It Is true it isn't fawless, and
there isn't thrill, a sob or tear for
the reader from title page to ''Finis."
But there is the Utilization of brilliant
epigram, keen enjoyment thru contact
with living characters who have charac-
ter, tho it Is often weak, pleasure in the
study of the intense Britishness of the life
portrayed, lively curiosity as to the ulti-
mate effects Of the crossed currents, sat
isfaction that they do not end in moral
tragedy, and, not least delight in the
poetic finish and subtilty of the entire
work One wonders whether the author
has not made a grave mistake in con-
inning his literary efforts exclusively to
poetry. The man who wrote Loves
Cross-Currents" could, beyond doubt,
nave written greater novels. novels that
possibly would have won for him place
In literature such as his poems will hardly
give. :. .-
