If any one should brew d decoc-
ton Of lemons. orange peel, cook
ed and knocked vegetables, re-
liquiae Of beef steak, pork steak,
mutton chop and hamburger y
together with liberal contribu-
tons Of imburger, soft pickles and
salads, the whole mass seasoned
and soaked with the emolient
popularlY known as dishwater, If
any one should brew such de-
coction and should compel You to
swallow it you would send for your
gun. H your nauseation was not
too severe you would use it. a
Judge and jury would acquit you,
and the community would praise
you for your nerve. Such q dose
would be horrible wouldn't it?
How much worse would it be
to compel your neighborto swallow
that, than to compel him to breathe
pestilential odors Of that same pile
Of refuse? The one is little if any
more dangerous than the other.
The good Offices Of the air inter-
posed in both cases. The air We
breathe is the most important
article of our diet. We cen not
live three minutes without it. To
polute the air we are obliged to
swallow is a crime as heinous as
to polute the food that we are
Obliged to eat Our stomachs re-
quire pure food. Not any more
than our lungs require pure air.
Poison is deleterious in either case.
Why should any man, or any
household, be allowed to pile up
the refuse from the house or bust
ness, and allow it to tester in the
sun until he and his neigh bors are
nauseated, if not assaulted by
disease induced by the rotting
pile? We sdo not believe he
should be allowed to do it. AS a
matter Of ethics he should keep
his place clean. And he would
think more of himself if he knew
that he was not offering diptheria
or typhoid fever, or any other
zymotic disease, to those who liv-
ed in his community, Cleanliness
tends to health, "A city can not
afford to have its citizens sick.

Government Ownership and

in practice by the United States
in the Philippines. The Batan
coal mines will be retained by the
government, and this BY act Of
Congress. Garry the news to
Baier. and to the Pennsylvania
Railway We wonder if Baier
knew how narrow a margin there
was between him and disposses-
siou of his mines at the time of
the threatened strike few months
ago. We are convinced that had
a strike ensued and the public in
consequence had bee confronted
with a coal famine, Mr.. Baier
would have had to give place to
President Roosevelt in the mining
industry And why not? Has
any body of men q right to imperil
the comfort, life and health Of the
whole nation simply because they
get into a snarl? We do not
think SO. Baier's rights are no
more sacred than John Does. He
is no better than he, only in SO
far as he excells him il the quail
ties that exalt manhood. If he
does notSexcell him in these par
ticulars, he is his inferior. The
possession Of wealth does not
enhance his rights as citizen.
Universal ethics proclaims an
equality of right which the law
must finally yindicate. Roosevelt
ecognized the ethics in the case.

AshyiIie, May I5.-(special,)- )-- Hon. John B. Knox. candidate for Al ternate Senator. made his opening speech here today to an interested and apprecfative audience.
 Mir. Knox said:
 Fellow Citizens--For the first time in my life appear before the people of this State, seeking political oface. r.nks of ' my party always. I have spent many years working for my friends and working for my party. and how, when I have offered for ofdce my of those whom I have helped in the past stand ready and willing to heir me. the past to the people and to the party I claim no particular credit.

 The New Constitutien.
 I felt this way about the need or new Constitution in this State. Tha' great work, thank God. has been ac' complished It is not necessary so recount here the difficulties which tho friends of this movement encounteree in bringing it about. No great reform movement was ever accomplished with out overcoming obstacles. It is mat ter of supreme qualification to those who favored this movement that 1t has been sustained by. the, people. and tha, the new Constitution becomes more anc more acceptable as it's provisions ars better understood.
 Before it's adoption we were living under conditions which were rapidly becoming intolerable. The manipula' ton of the ballot. and frauds in cleo tions had become prevalent in many parts of the State. This system wal countenanced and "winked att by oui best citiens under the plea of neces' sity.

 Freight Rate Reform.
 There iE another reform movement which now excites the attention of the people of the State. and upon which I think # is the duty of every public the question of regulating freight rates in this State.
