The TWO-Cent Rate In Ohio.

The news now comes from Ohio that
the 2-cent passenger law promises to
force profits into the pockets
OF the unwilling railroad cor
porations. That is to say, the re-
duced rates that were fought as Soon
fscation" and robbery of the defense
less stockholders have not only
brought back a good share of the
travel that was lost to the electric
lines, but will without much doubt be
a source of increased profit to the
companies when the time comes for an
accurate accounting of this part of the
business. The experience of the Ohio
roads has had the effect of greatly re-
ducing the opposition to the enact
ment of similar law in Indiana. It
is now predicted that it will be passed
during the coming winter without op-
position from the railroads. Me-

Burning Up Money!.

The International Society of Building
Commissioners and Inspectors is au-
thority for the statement that in the
United States we burn down annually
buildings valued at about S2OOOOO.OOO
and expend in new construction and
reconstruction s5OO,OOO,00o.. Since we
also pay $300,O0O,OOO for fighting fire,
in1ammable structures prove to be
very costly affairs.
The society asserts that only one
building in every 5000 is freproof, and
that only nominally so, since the SO
called invulnerable structure is really
liable to damage to the extent Of 30 to
80 per cent of value. It is claimed by
these experts that our $5OO,OOO,OO con-
structions would cost but $780, 100000
if they were built so that they could
not burn. Measures to abolish fire
traps are suggested, among them high
er taxes for buildings not freproof and
prohibitive insurance rates on risks
that are hazardous ..--.-..

Corrupting New Citizens.

A feature which counts heavily
against the importation Of masses Of
men from the old world who are sup
posedly ignorant of the first principles
of self government is the fact that they
tend to settle in the seaports and drift
to the slums as a natural environment
There they join in with the lowest ele-
ments of society and become a menace
to order and good government. What
ever their intentions may be in seek
ing a home in this land Of liberty and
political equality, whether noble or
mercenary, they never see American
institutions at their best and cannot
rise to that level Of good citizenship
which is far and away out of sight and
reach of the Atlantic seaport Sums
But there is very large percentage
of immigrants who are actuated by
one sterling and lofty motive-the de-
sire to develop themselves and their
children on the American plan, some
thing they have been taught to believe
is good. They arrive here woefully ig-
nOrant, but deadly in earnest in the
belief that about everything in Ameri-
ca is all right for the poor man. The
difference between good and evil must
be shown them. They've had no chance
to find out under monarchial systems
Here, too, often enters in the political
serpent with promises Of everything
man can desire if only the newcomers
will follow his guidance The poor
Immigrant does not know the difference
between a corrupt Tammany district
leader and a real official of the Ameri-
can government He has seen the we'll
dressed, plausible and good natured
fellow around city hall or some other
civic headquarters doing official duty
and imagines that when he speaks on
Of saloon he is talking the best Amer
lean ideas and is going to break the
stranger into ways Of honest, pro-
gressive and lucrative citizenship
What else could he suppose? Once
caught in trap Of crooked dealing he
is placated with the assurance that
that is the American way, Everybody
does that here" whether it be false
registering, false swearing, repeating
or what not. The poor fellow has
awoke to the fact that gold is not
picked up on the streets here, knows
that he must hustle to live and not be
too squeamish about how he gets on.
If the original immigrant holds out
against temptations his SONS quickly
''get on to the American way, and so
the slums Of Europe indirectly contrib
ute to the American electorate a class
Of mental, constituencies and possibly
criminal voters. There's a chance for
some political missionary right at the
landing whenever an immigrant ship
comes in. Z

American Public Spirit.

"Open confession is good for the
soul' that unbosoms itself and also
for those to whom it may bring a rev.
elation of affinity with the repentant
sinner. Recently Chicago citizen who
during busy career Of money making
had been content to let public affairs
limp along any old way made a trip
to Europe and after visiting several
continental cities gave his impressions
as follows:
My deepest and saddest impression
after seven months ramble through
Europe is that American cities have not
learned the A Cs Of municipal gov
eminent. London, Paris, Berlin, Ham
burg, Vienna, Budapest, Amsterdam and
Stockholm are far in advance of the best
Of our communities. Everywhere clean
illness, respect for law and safety of life
and property are the rule and not the
exception. I diagnose the cause of this
superiority as not the higher govern
mental efficiency of the Europeans, but
the higher civic ideals from which the
excellence Of their institutions springs,
the pride of the Individual citizens in
good government, their readiness to pay
equitable taxes and their insistence that
the revenue shall be devoted to the OBJ
jects for which it is levied.
Waiting for others to carry the bur-
den Of development is a strong trait
with certain class Of Americans, both
in the city and in the country. Euro
peans expect to live all their lives
where they are born and to have their
children step into their Shoes With
them environment is home, and they
put their best into it as a family in
vestment. AS American society be-
comes more stable public spirit grows
keener and more liberal.

Newspapers and SANITY.

Manifestly Sir James Crichton Browne,
an eminent English authority on men
tai and nervous diseases, is not one Of
those Pharisees of science who join in
the condemnation Of the press. In an
address recently delivered at Black
pool he said:
I say deliberately that the newspaper
with all it's faults, is one Of the bulwarks
of sanity at the present epoch. It is the
antidote to corrbding egotism and gives
worldwide horizon to the purblind and
shortsighted. It is real and earnest in
its tragedy and comedy, while a novel is
only make believe. It supplies snacks
Of biography in the form Of gossip. It
manufactures heroes by the dozen, and it
furnishes an easily digestible intellectual
pabulum. Many a man has been saved
from melancholy and faulty by his daily
paper. Suppress your newspapers, and
you will have to enlarge your lunatic
asylums.
Sir James may be right: Certain it
is that the modern, up to date Ameri-
can newspaper can hardly be charged
with producing nerve lassitude or in
somnia, whatever it's other sins may be-

Cuba's Supremacy In Sugar.

Professor julius Wolf Of the German
University of Breslau appears to be
borrowing unnecessary trouble con-
corning the sugar capabilities Of Cuba.
He thinks that Cuba may increase it's
production to five times it's present
crop, a condition to seriously affect the
German producers
The professor argues that the pres
ent cane fields of Cuba cover scarcely
more than 1900 square miles and that
despite this fact Cuba already pro-
duces more than half as much sugar as
Germany, but that $4,000 square miles
Of arabic land are available in Cuba for
sugar culture. He estimates that sugar
can now be produced in Cuba at S1.2O
per 100 pounds, which is very much less
than the cost Of producing sugar in
Germany, and indicates a great fear
Of the injurious competition of Cuba
with the Germans for supremacy in
sugar production.
It is not likely that the kaiser will
see a menace to German commerce in
the rehabilitation Of Cuba, for world
economists know that Cuba is passing
through a labor famine, and planters
have refrained from opening new fields
to cane. It is necessarily 1attering to
Cubans to know what natural condi-
tons they have in the way of sugar
production, but for Cuba to produce
five times its present crop, or, say,
100000 tons Of sugar, would require
such readjustment of the labor ques-
ton there as seems impossible for
many years to come If Cuba could be
assured good and permanent govern
ment, without fear of revolutions, it's
production of sugar might be largely
increased, but the consumption keeps
pace with the production.

Russia's Girl Terrorists.

It is not a new role that the young
women who throw bombs at Russian
generals, police chiefs and autocratic
ministers have recently assumed with
terrible results. Young women have
taken a leading part in the work Of
the terrOrists in Russia for a genera
ton. What we now witness is but the
logical result Of womans training since
the outburst Of nihilism which followed
upon and was consequent to the violent
removal Of Alexander II. in the
eighties. It was then we heard of
young women, some Of them mere
girls of good lineage, abandoning home
and friends and faith to "go to the
people, as this phase Of social errati-
cism was called. They went from
mansions to fraternize with and teach
the deniZens Of hut and howell The
young Russian women now so ubiqui-
tous and terrible in the work of slaugh-
ter are said to be coached by the men
of the central committee Of revolu-
tionists. But they are not mere hired
tools, for they know their business,
are at home in official circles and add
Intelligence if not genius to their
vengeful spirit. 1t was two of these
cultured, clever and likewise seductive
women who put through the plot to
capture the uniforms and equipments
Of two Of the cars real officers, in
which two terrOrists masQueraded in
the all but successful attack upon
Prime Minister Stolypin. The role of
the women in this case was subordi-
nate in spectacular sense, but the en-
tire plot hinged upon the work Of these
two sirens, work that none but women
could perform
It remains to be seen whether the
dreadful exploits these skirted revolu-
tionists engage in is to completely OBJ
iterate the natural virtues Of their
sex. 1t is easily possible that two
women, the czar's wife and the cars
mother, may become regents to rule in
the name Of the infant monarch.
Would the female avengers have a
deeper reverence for womanhood than
for royalty and would their prayers
stay the hands of male assassins when
a wife and mother were marked as
victims?

The American Voice.

English newspapers are commenting
upon the advice recently given by the
head master of a popular boys school
to his pupils. 1t was that they acquire
the American tone and manner of
speech. The American style and ac-
cent, he declared, are evidence that
its possessor is ''shrewd, energetic and
resourceful,' and British youngsters
would do we'll to acquire them if they
want to "get on" in the world.
The reports of this radical head mas
ter's new departure do not specify the
faults of the English way of speech.
We do not need to be told the merits
Of our own way. But a recent screed
by William Dean Howells on the Amer
lean woman's speech may help us to
fathom the Englishman's thought.
Howells says that many American wo-
men manage their voices carelessly and
lazily. He would certainly except from
this Indictment the country maidens
and young women who vie with their
big brothers in all sorts Of activities
and jollities, indoors and out In
strange company the American woman
is duly modest and shy, but among IA
miliars the particular class of genuine
American women here referred to know
how to speak out. And that is the
main difference between the English
schoolboy and his American cousin. It
is all question of speaking the words
out clearly and forcibly, a trait COM
monty called speaking up Some
American boys, too, have to be told to
"speak up When they get out in the
world and begin to hustle, the lesson
comes home. Passion never fails to
speak up. Earnestness is one form of
passion, and the speaker who is ear
nest-and every boy about serious bust
ness should be earnest-wiIl deliver his
message and meaning in clean cut Ian
guage and clear, strenuous tones. This
is the American style which the Eng
lish professor advised his pupils to
ADOPT

Giving CripDleS a Lift.

One Of the newest philanthropies
is the plan of starting a factory for
the employment of cripples whose in
f1rmities, great or small, crowd them
out Of the ranks Of wage earners.
Many a man is able to earn something,
but still cannot keep his end up with
sound limbed competitors. Expert
ments made by relief associations in
large cities show that many who are
listed in the clown and OUT class are
simply short an eye, an ear or a couple
Of fingers or some such matter and are
willing to accept short pay. Our in
dustrial system makes no suitable pro-
vision for this class.
In the end the proposition to adapt
labor to the particular capacities of the
employees must be found to pay. Grip
pies have managed to stub along in
little private and one horse industries,
and, with capital and business brains
to cooperate, the crippled basket max
er, cobbler and chair mender who is
now being starved out by the cheapen-
ing of commodities could be given
steady employment at living wages
In land where there is a dearth Of
ablebodied laborers no willing hand
should vainly beg from his more for
tunate brother the simple leave to

Speaking for his master, the car,
General kaulbars, the Russian govern
or Of Odessa, recently declared that if
one member Of the league which is en-
gagged in outrages upon the Jews should
be assassinated "Odessa will be inun-
dated in blood" This is a frank ad-
mission that the Russian rulers ap-
prove Of the horrible massacres Of Jew
ish subjects that have occurred within
the past few years and makes the
cars protestations of affection for his
''little children a base mockery.

An Awful Cough Cured.

1.-TWO years ago our little girl had
touch of pneumonia, which left her
with an awful cough. She had spells
of coughing, just like one with the
whooping cough and some thought
she would not get we'll at all. We got
a bottle of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy, which acted like charm.
She stopped coughing and got stout
and fat," writes Mrs. Ora Bussard,
Brubaker, Ill. This remedy is for
sale by the Princeton Drug Company.
