U. s. OF THE EARTH

What we have already done in CIV
ing frame OF government to our
insular possessions amply confirms
the fears and predictions OF those
who criticised the policy OF the
dominant party at the beginning OF
the experiments. A federal demo-
cratic government cannot logically
and successfully possess colonies. II
IL governs these distant possessions
in the manner our continental terri
tories are governed. as inchoate
states TO be admitted when ready to
the Union. we shall cease to be the
United States OF America and be-
come the United States of Polynesia,
Asia. South America, Africa, &C. The
very statement OF the position con-
demns the idea.--Danville Register.

THAT TWENTY-FIVE

competent head and clerical force. ap-
pointed promotion c6mmittee--a
committee that did things; offered
free factory sites, and In short, they
meant business and DID business.
They BELIEVED In their city, and In
n hundred different ways WORKED
for their city until presently thous-
ands OF people throughout the United
States got to believing In IL too, and
took their money and went there
to live.
Men of Blueheid, those Dallas
fellows have not whit more brains
than you have. They were in a re-
gion OF no greater natural resources
than you are-not so good. We are
In the richest state I'm the union to-
day, and have tributory to us the
richest section OF that state: why, in
the Sam Hill, can't we do what Dali
las did--double our population In
two years?
Do you want to double your busi-

STARVING l1rsERs.

John A. Quinn. miserly hermit
has died Of starvation at Paris. Tenn
though In the house were found cash
snd securities sumcient to have kept
him In comfort for years.
In loving his money better thar
his life he has Lost both.
He was a fool that tho world ID
well rid OF.
But. extreme as wss his case. he
is only n type OF thousands OF others
whose aim is ever to get and never
to give.
A notable miser here and there
representa- the extreme degree to
which life may be narrowed down by
love Of money.
But countless millions are narrow.
ing their lives every day from the
same cause.
Few OF us may have the physical
hardihood to actually starve our-
selves to death for moneys sake. but
o! what lot of us starve the mind
and the soul for II!
Only for his severe seif-deniai which
Is really a quality OF excellence.
Quinn would have been no worse
nor no better than millions OF others
who love money as well as he did,
but personal comforts more.
Tho miser loves the money itself !;
he reveis in contemplation OF the
fact that It Is his. The most of Us
who hold ourselves to be superior 20
him love the qualification OF the phys
cal senses which money buys. And
the one love il as vain. purposeless
and as Utterly selfish as the other
Whether one man permits his love
for his few hundreds to isolate him
from his fellows or another allows
his millions to dry up his affections
and deadena his human syr,pathies
makes little difference IN the long
The IA a; Dla~t"d tee opportmni-
ties lost. the Toys atrophied In the
lives OF millions, every day. by the
love OF money--wiio can count
them?
There are misers-lots of them
whose love Of money has killed all
that is best In their souls, but who
still stand among us as prominent
and respectable figures.
The miser is the poorest OF men
for while he lives solely for self, he
gets less out OF life than any other
man.
He has money, but denies himself
the things that money can buy. In
making money the end instead OF
the means OF life he narrows his
purposes and achievements down to
nothingness.
He who for the sake OF saving, de-
MES himself the riches OF sympathy
and helpfnlness and alienates himself
in spirit from his fellows is the poor
est OF all paupers.
But the miserliness that leads tC
starvation OF the body Is not the kind
that does most damage in this world

What's in McCIure's,

True stories ofimportant movements
and of good healthy combat are the
dominant traits of McClure's for
February. Even after the peep behind
the curtains afforded by the sessions of
the Interstate Commerce Commission;
and of the Legislative investigation, and
by the upheavals of last falPs political
campaign, there are disclosures in this
number concerning railroad abuses,
life insurance Juggling, and political
trickery which will take hard hold of
every citizen. There is the case of
Everett Colby. "The Gentleman from
Essex" told by Lincoln Steffens, which
is full of the sturdy effort of honesty
and youth. 1t shows how young
man, with aggressiveness and a con-
science can beat the machine to a
stand still and wins for himself more
than the machine dared give him be-
cause he was honest. Ray Stannard
Baker, continuing his series, 1.-THE Rail
roads on Trial." tells the astonishing
story ofhoW Armour, through his pri-
vate car line, monopolized the fruit
transportation business of America,
practically told the railroads that they
might as well burn their own refriger-
ator-cars, and turning to the shipper
reaped a golden harvest by daring and
open methods. Then he writes of the
revolt of honest shippers against Ar
mour.
But in addition to these vital theses,
the number contains articles of scien-
titic and general interest and fiction
which meets the Mcclure requirement
of excellence.
