q Curse Made a Blessing.
g New York Evening Mail,

From the New York Evening Mail.
BY the free alcohol bill passed Monday by
the House, deadly curse Will be turned
into an incalculable public blessing. 1t has
been hard question hitherto to answer:
why did the Almighty put alcohol into
everything that grows, to poison and mad
den the human racer But 1t will be an
swered completely when cheap alcohol. for
ever rendered incapable of working mischief
warns and iiIuminates the houses of the
people.
'.Denaturized" alcohol is alcohol made I'M
drInkable and uncomfortable In beverages,
when not devoted to an industrial purpose.
In his remarks favoring this bill, before
the committee ways and means, Secre-
tary Wilson explained how the soil could
be made to produce In alcohol all the fuel
the country needs, and added:
THE northern states could readily depend
upon the white potato source of heat
and light the southern states upon the yam
and The sweet potato and the western
states upon the sugar beet. The
average amount of sugar and starch which
goes to waste in the stalks of Indian corn
annually would make 100 gallons of COM
mercidl alcohol per acre. When we consider
that the number Of acres in Indian corn is
quantity of alcohol that is lost in the stalks
is so large as to be almost beyond the
grasp of our conception
All this IS calculated to make that old
pessimist Nautilus turn In his grave, for 1t
helps to prove that little man is only be-
ginning to appreciate the productive power
of the earth.

Most Nervous People in the World.

FROM l.esle 3 weekly.
More and more the health of the Ameri-
can people is receiving needed attention.
In the Lowell Institute, Boston, DIR. James
Jackson Putnam, NJ. D., professor of neur-
ology in the Harvard Medical school, Eos
ton, is delivering a course of eight lectures
on Certain Prevalent Nervous Derange-
ments and the Outlook for their Proven
ton" He ranks among the first Of liv
ing authorities on nervousness. Ameri-
cans are the most nervous people In the
world, which means both that they are the
most vital, living, foreeful people, because
people live more In their nerves than in
their muscles, but also means that Anleri-
cans are most exposed to debility by excess
sive emotionalissn and by over-work.
Frenzied finance, as a characteristic of
business. means "bedlam' to many bust
hess men The number of professional
men who ara braking down In youth
and middle life is steadily increasing.
Professor Putnam says that "the tenden-
cies of the present day are to increase
nervous sensitiveness," that this is pre-
eminentIy a nervous age. Worry, not
work, Is the great danger, and It has been
said to be characteristic OF modern Efe."
Prof Putnam also says that .the whole
problem of the relation OF the mind
to the body needs reinstatement" In such
reinstatement VIII be found the sscret OF the
growth Of so-calIed Christian Science, and
also the correction OF its errors

the Madeleine NJ. X. will be among the
sable-elad men following the hearse. He
does not know any of the family: he did
not know the deceased; but he has been to
the house of mourning. He will accompany
the funeral procession all the way to the
cemetery, and II next day the papers pub
lish his name among those present he will
be happy. Sometimes he shakes hands with
@ celebrity, who does not know him in the
least, but to whom his face has seemed
familiar. He will tell you that he had
spoken to NJ. Fallieres, the new president
of the republic 1t is quite true. He once
handed NJ. Fallieres the pencil in the con-
cierge's room of house, where a friend of
NJ Fallieres died and the new president said
THANK you as he wrote his name down

Getting Even.


When on stepping up on the running
board. you observe that he is not going to
move over but intends you to squeeze past
him, you can suddenly reach out, as if to
clutch something TO save yourself from
falling. and knock his nice, new straw hat
over his eyes If it falls to the car floor
in front of him and breaks little hunk
off the rim, so much the better. Then, afte-
excusing yourself most profusely to the
end-seat hog, you bring one of your heels
down upon his foot with whatever force
you care to put into that move, continuing
to look around with a bovine, innocent
stare. When his gasp of misery informs
you that you've stepped upon his foot you
can apologize most humbly again. By
this time the conductor will have given the
bell to start Sthe car, and then you can
pretend that the starting of the car has
pulled you off your feet and come down
with a thump In the end-seat hogs lap, at
the same time reaching out wildly and
crushing, If possible, the three nice cigars
that he has tucked away in his vest pocket
and again disarranging his hat. Then, by
the time you have excused yourself again
and finally sprawled into your seat, IL that
end-ssa1hog hasn't about made up his
mind that he'll move over the next time
he's hopeless, and the only thing TO do
with him Is to hit him behind the left ear
with Delaying pin when you reach your
corner and then run with all your might.
There are other considerations with re-
spect to the open cars that must often
force themselves upon the attention of the
thoughtful person.
Fer example, why do the women folks
show such actual feyerish anxiety to crowd
themselves into the three last seats re-
served for smokers, when there's coolies and
sIathers of room In the front seats of the
car?
If any human being has ever been able
to dope this problem out he hasn't YET
made public his answer to the riddle.
OF course there are exceptional cases. We
saw one of the exceptional eases the other
evening A rather peevish-looking smoker
got into the last seat of open car bound
for Cabin John Bridge. In the seat IN
front of the last one sat four men, all
smoking, and pretty little woman. And
most of the seats up front were all but va
cant The peevish man began to grumble
to his neighbor.

dock of Wichita got his first
rebuff early last week. He
was ''sot upon" and gagged
when he attempted to speak
on rate legislation without
the previous consent of those
who boss things. The young
man will presently learn not
to be so gay. Under the pres.
ent order of things a man
must spend half of his life in

Mr.. ROOSEVELT AND DEMOCRATS.

A democratic publication printed in
Illinois warns democrats and demo
cratic editors against 1.-The habit of CIV
ing utterance to fulsome commentator
OF the policies and acts of Presi dent
b Roosevelt and his administration.
That publication says MIR. Roosevelt
was elected as republican and if he
eyer shows leaning towards demo.
cratic policies it is because he finds it
convenient to adopt them temporarily
for republican purposes" It adds:
"As president of the United States
Mr.. Roosevelt is entitled to fair treat
ment, but every democrat should re-
member that in g wing way to sentimen.
tai utterances of the presidents policies
he is laying the snare that will compel
an inglorious backdown Or taking back
of utterances and he is violating his
duty to his own party
s'Fulsome commendation' should
not be INDUCED in with respect to Mr..
RoOsevelt's policies or those of any
other man. But so far as we have OBJ
served democrats have followed Mr.
Roosevelt only as Mr.. Roosevelt has
followed democracy. Whatever Mr.
Roosevelt may do democrats generally
will have nothing to retract unless 1t be
the expression of confidence in Mr..
Roosevelt, which expression was given
under the impression that be meant
what he SAID.
Even though there may be IAN in
glorious backdown" on Mr.. Roosevelt g
part, there will be none on the part of
democrats who have rushed to his sup.
port when he has declared i'll favor of
some reform along democratic lines.
Democrats who have given MIR. Roose
welt encouragement when he has de-
clared himself in favor of reforms for
which democrats have all along con
tended have not violated their duty to
their own party. They have discharg
ed their duty as citizens and as demo

particular party or Individual
The day has gone by when party
may be strengthened by the efusal of
its members to support their principles
simply because those principles are ad-
vocated by men of an opposition party.
Democrats have had the right to take
the president of the United States at
his word, and in all of his proposed re-
forms MIR. Roosevelt has had the con-
sistent and patriotic support of;demo.
Gratis generally. Nothing WILL arise,
nothing can arise-but the demonstra-
ton Of the claim that den ocratic re-
forms are unwise-which need cause
any democrat who has encouraged Mr..
Roosevelt to regret the position he has
taken.
Even though MIR. Roosevelt does not
justify the confidence which democrats
and men generally have placed in him,
there will be no ''inglorious backdown"
on the part of those good citizens of all
political parties who have encouraged
the president in every instance when
he has proclaimed the good democratic
doctrine that the corporations are the
servants rather than the masters of the
people.
