The memorial of the American Med
ical association commencing the efforts
of the administration and congress to
protect the public against adulterated
foods, impure drugs and fraudulent
products and urging the immediate
passage of the pending pure food bill,
will stimulate public sentiment in that
direction.
The insistent demand that has arisen
upon the disclosure of conditions in
the preparation of meats and by-prod-
ucts in the industries around the Chi
cago stock yards gained much of its
force from the rapid previous growth
of sentiment on the general subject of
pure food. Indeed. such sentiment is
only one phase of the comprehensive
awakening of public conscience which
requires a higher standard OF morality
in the commercial as we'll as in the
political world, refusing to tolerate dis
honesty in labels, weights and quality
of foods any more than graft in great
corporations and in the operations of
government.
The expression of the great national
medical association is especially APP
propriate and effective because its
members are necessarily brought into
contact with the evils which arise. to
use their own words. from manufac-
turing and selling rotten and poisonous
foods and liquors with which to make

with which to make the sick sicker. 4"

EASY MONEY.

Lambs on wall street.
Philadalphia Ledger


Somewhat less than three years ago a
New York broker failed for 100000. He
was obliged to compromise with his cred
itors for so cents on the dollar Recently
he mailed to these creditors checks repre-
senting the 100000 to which claim had
been relinquished by them, together with
interest on the sums. Because the man
chose to pay his just debts and did so when
he was able, the term conscience money"
has been applied to the amount voluntarily
surrendered. This does not seem to be the
proper term. The desire to pay a debt is
natural prompting. II the example Of a
man who does this when he might evade

tue is assumed TO be at a low plane.
The astonishing feature OF the case is that

years have made" a million to donate to

BY hitting upon Coburn of Kansas

happy solution of his dilemma, al
though Mr.. Coburn's hesitancy about
accepting indicates that the governor

Senator Coburn, as he will be should
he assent. would be a typical repre-
sentative of Kansas in the national leg
islature and more particularly of its
agricultural side. He is known most
widely as one of the highest recognized
authorities on agricultural statistics,
having made a worldwide reputation
as secretary of the Kansas State Board
of Agriculture and as an agricultural
expert generally. Coburn of Kansas
is a name to coniure by among farm
ers and live stock breeders. not only
in his own state. but throughout the
entire west.
While the honor bestowed upon him
would carry with it senatorial service
only until the legislature should elect
next winter. with no certainty that
he would be given another commission
to succeed himself. still his occupancy
for even SO short time of the Burton
seat would do more to purge it Of its
blemish than could the selection of

and OutHO.
Philadelphia Press.
II is now near enough to the end Of the
fiscal year to forecast with fair accuracy
what Uncle SANS books will show on
June 30. The governments income on that
day will have exceeded the outlay by a
snug margin. For the eleven months that
have closed the surplus in round figures
was S6O00,OOO Besides that, the treasury
should be credited with $2O.OOO.OOO or more
which has been expended upon the Panama
canal and which will be returned when that
great project is finally financed by the sale
of bonds.
When IL is remembered what this coun-
trys enormous expenses amount TO. the
fact that the nation meets every dollar Of
obligation out of revenue without adding to
the national debt is most gratifying. And
the figures dealt with are magnificent in
proportions. The public income will for
the year approximate 500, 0O0. 600.

that the burden is carried without a muir
muir anywhere. A rapidly growing navy,
postal facilities that in some respects ex-
coed those Of any other land. and pensions
that are unrivaled for generosity in the
worlds history, consume a big share Of
the country's revenue. As all the S0,0OO, 900
of people benefit by these distributions in

up to the old concern. The franchise
might be estimated to be worth the

have got, they have evidently loaded

When the plans now partially carried out

completed New York city will possess
along the eastern shore of the Hudson river
one of the longest, costlest and most at
tractive driveways in the world.

street and is carried over great arch at
Ninety-sixth street, along the banks Of the
Hudson until It merges into Riverside park
in which stands the magnificent monument
of President Grant.

ming the valley and reaching from One

Hundred and Thirty-ffth street.
This is not swing bridge as It crosses
no water. but is a wide and architec-

is now under construction continuous

WITH TURBINE POWER

Washington, d. c., Jan. 1.-THE
naval constructors and the engineer
ing experts of the Navy Department
are engaged on plans and specificar
tions for the two 16,000-ton battleships
authorized at the last session of CON
gress. The designers are proceeding
with their work on the theory that
congress will not be asked to increase
the displacement. OF course, naval
opinion is in agreement upon changes
of such displacement increase, hut
there are other considerations which
evidently control, and which have led
to the conclusion that II is Just as
well to provide for the ships of small
er size. Accordingly, the various bu-
reaus of the Navy Department are en-
gagged in preparing the estimates Of
weights which are to be credited to
each bureau in the completed vessels.
1t will be some weeks, of course, be-
fore proposals will be invited by the
Navy Department. In the meantime.
the shipbuilders are eyinclng the keen

II is under consideration
whether or not one of the ships shall
be equipped with turbine power in
stead of the ordinary reciprocating
engines. The result of the tests with
turbine steamers have been so favor
able, that a strong sentiment in favor
of that method of propulsion has de
veloped among progressive experts.
