not be perfectly sure that new soil and new forests are being made in every way just as they were 1000 or 10000 years ago. Yet there is no doubt that the process of to-day Is like that of yesterday in every important respect. Heat and frost, wind rain and sunshine though ever varying, are as changeless
 as the nature of the rock upon which they act. The flowers and trees of our fields and woods are the same as those of 100 centuries ago. Rocks are worn down to form soil, and nature sows and tends the oldest of old-fashioned gardens just as she always did. If we 1 carefully follow, them, the wearing | away of some huge cliff or precipice,
 and the appearance of flowers and trees
 upon it's crumbling fragments, we wit
 ness a process which here and there,
 has been going on for ages, and has
 produced all the forests of the present time.
 1 These changes occur with ex- l treme slowness. No human life is long
 enough to measure them all. The life
 time of a Methuselah would be swal- lowed up in the lapse of time necessary for the change of granite cliffs into the floor of a forest. Fortunately, how l ever, this process is a frequent one ir

 Mountains. In some places it has be- gun at times widely separated: 1T

np1rvKENNEss AS A DISEASE

DRUNK ENNESS AS A DISEASE
 Dr. T. D. Brothers, superintendent of Walnut Lodge hospital, Hartford, Conn.,. addressed the British Medical association, now in session at Toron- to, on "The Insanity of Inebriety de- claring that it is medical subject and that until the profession has taught the public the facts of this disease and the rational means of treatment the ut most confusion will prevail. Dr. Croth- CTS asserts that the use of alcohol is in most cases a symptom of some disorder and not, as is generally supposed, the cause of the disorder. He says the term inebriety describes a condition which calls for alcohol for its anacest- hetic effect. It is in reality disease l of the brain, for the alleyiatiOn of which alcohol is most grateful rem edy.
 If this be true, then 1t follows that we have been treating drunkenness perhaps alcoholism from the wrong end. We have considered over-indul- gence in alcoholic beberages as a vice to be punished in accordance with a criminal code. "A scientific study oi inebriety," says Dr. Brothers, "indi- cates definite disease with distinct causes, progress and termination as ir other diseases" He thinks that the practical question of cure and relief i. now in the quack stage of development There are countless Specifics" curt aHs, new discoveries and new myster ious medicines for the cure of inebrlety but all properly belong in the categor! of duack remedies.

 To-day some of the Democrats of Connecticut will nominate for Governor a more or less sick man, who will be obliged to stand on a more or less sick platform, The affair will be mildly in terestlng though not very important, We notice that the New Haven Regis ter, the Hartford Times and the Bridge port Farmer agree in the belief that it Is wise for the Democrats of Connecti- cut to avoid national issues this year, and confne themselves closely and solely to State matters. This is prob- ably good advice, Nobody seems to know what the Democratic notions con- corning national issues &re, and the Democrats of Connecticut ]Sall perhaps be a little less futile if they let them alone.

4 QUIET AND USETEy1FU1 LIFE

4 QUIET AND UNETENTFUL LIFE
 It is, we suppose, still possible to live a quiet and uneventful life in this country of hustle and hustle. One who long ago began to live such life and succeeded has just died in Leominster, Massachusetts, She was Miss Mary M. Lincoln. She was 100 years, one month and four days old, and she lived for more than a century in the house in which she was born, and died in the very room in which her parents were married and in which she first saw the light. The original Lincoln home in ILeominster was built more than cen- tury and half ago, and the present main part of the home was built by Miss Lincoln's father William Lincoln, in 1797. The account further says that Miss Lincoln has always lived in. Leo- minister. a quiet and uneyentful life One of six children, she was the last of her generation, She was always a zealous member of the Unitarian Church, into which she was baptized in 1880. She taught in the Sunday schoo from 1923 to 1868"
 Perhaps Miss Lincoln was of as much 
 real use in the world as if she had beer
 a reformer, a woman suffragist, O
 some other busy being. Perhaps tn
 world wouldn't suffer if many peopl
 who are very busy should turn aroun
 and live quiet and uneventful lives.

ONE MORE RIP UDIATOR.

One of the surprising things to many people, and probably to Brother Bryan himself, is the cool, and even scornful, treatment his notion of government ownership of railroads has received from Democrats who have weight and influence in their party The latest "prominent Democrat" to repudiate the notion is John Sharp Williams, Demo- cratic leader in congress. This is the way he does 1t: I am opposed to gov ernment ownership of railroads, ire vocably, now and forever in theory and in practice-a question concerning which MT. Bryan and agree to dis agree. But see no good to be attain ed by rushing into print on the subject We will simply vote it down if offered as a plank of the Democratic platform 1 Meanwhile let us not magnify Demo- cratic differences. There are so many | things we aTe dBISeu upOlA -lCI uo iiAd5- nifty them. Push them to the front if we can. Bryan is not inSallible, and does not pretend to be. He is right about so many things, eloquently and greatly right, but absolutely and alto gether wrong about this one thing, es- pecially from the standpoint of racial peace and quiet in the South. Let us strongly regulate railroad rates, but not operate railroads
 Of course Brother Bryan will not be convinced that he Is wrong about this or any other thing that he advocated in his New York speech, and he has already announced that he had rather

Pioneers.

Forget not yet, forget not yet
 That once We were your peers: Remember, though the world forget,
 We were the pioneers We braved the fever swamps by night
 The deserts heat at noon: We wandered, lost to all mems sight,
 Beneath the wan white moon. When, in the burning noon of day,
 The forest wind blows sweet, Forget not us. who made the way
 Smooth ground beneath your feet. We dug the wells we may not drink,
 The gold that buys not life; Spent, in the forests heart we sink,
 Forgotten of the strife. Though we be old in dearth and toil
 Fallen and faint with thirst, While ye shall reap the easy spoil
 Xe shall not be the first. Ye shall come after, but no less.
 No man can take our pride; The first that broke the wilderness,
 For that gains sake we died. The paean of our triumph yet
 Runs ringing down the years; Ye have the fame, but ye forget We were the pioneers. St Louis Democrat

CROPPING, AND GROWING FAST

.' GROWING, AND GhOWANd EAoA'
 There is apparently no end to growth and prosperity in this blessed country There was never so much building ac- tivity here as this year. Wages in the sbuilding trades are much higher than ever before. Materials cost more, and vet building goes on at feverioh pace. The exhibit for the cities of the coun- try for August shows that in the great majority of them the amount of build ing done exceeded any previous August. Manhattan and Brooklyn lead all the rest, with total of about $l6,OOOO 900. Chicago comes next, with $5 439, 175, and Philadelphia third, with $9,434, 4O5, But Chicago shows falling off of 19 per cent, The month of August, 1905, was month of great activity in building breaking all previous records, and it i2 with that month the comparisons are made.

The name of Jefferson Davis will probably soon be restored to that great est of stone arches--Cabin John Bridge --an arch spanning 8 gorge in the up- per Potomac valley, supporting an auueduct through which the water sup ply of Washington pours, and also serving as highway bridge along that much travelled road, the Conduit road, The mutilation of the arch has been commented or many times. Although the subject Is an old one, the true nar- ratlve of the mutilation has only beer recently told. The erasure of the name of Jefferson Davis has been variousiy ascribed to General Montgomery C. Meigs, chief engineer of the construc. tion of the adequct: Simon Cameron and Mir. Stanton, secretaries of war The order for the erasure of the name was given by Caleb R. Smith, secretary of the interior, in June, 1862.

Last year thirty-four officers and would-be officers of the British mer- camille marine failed on their color test, twenty three being red blind and the remainder unable to distinguish green.

Factories and Railroads
Blocked With Orders.

General Manager George T. odell OF
the Consolidated Wagon Machine
company, who has Just returned from
visit to eastern factories, today ex-
pressed to a News" representative the
following views on the local agricutur-
al conditions and the implement trade
1.-THE conditions OF the vehicle and
implement trade are vastly different
now from what | have known them TO
be IN % years past. Dealers are con-
fronted with q situation where the man
ufacturers are fearful OF their ability
TO complete orders, on account OF
possible coal shortage, and also an IN
adequate supply OF raw materials; par
tcularly Is this the case In the iron
and steel market. This added to the
pronounced shortage of railroad equip
ment places a double burden on the
dealer and even II he has the goods
purchased, he may not be able to get
them TO market In time. Those who
placed their orders early. and IN a Ike
proportion the retail purchaser who has
anticipated his wants, are OF the for
tunate class this year. for the majority
OF the eastern manufacturers are GER
tainly months behind with their orders.
AS yet, however. there Is no material
change IN prices from last years"
"At no time In the history of the i'm
plement and vehicle business In Utah
and Idaho" said Mr.. odel "has the
water outlook been so favorable as this
year. Reviewing carefully all prevail
ing conditions, 1906 should be vastly
more prosperous for the agriculturlst
than any season for years past"
The Consolidated Wagon & Machine
company, Mr.. Odel said, has already
brought In since January some two
hundred carloads OF machinery. which
they have distributed very thoroughly
over the territory they cover from Dill
lon, Montana to Thatcher, Arizona. tc,
Rawlins on the east and Las Vegas on
the west, and the company Is now In
excellent shape TO supply the demand.

Jeffrey & Co., Kenosha, and the Mitch
ell Motor Car company OF Racine. max

and Mitchell cars, which are now EN-
