Meals In srhooI.

In Paris the city government gives
every school child one full meal a day
This does not tend to pauperize the chill
dren or to lessen the responsibility of
the parents, for all those who can af-
ford to pay for the meal are expected
to do so. On the other hand, no ZEAL
ousy or contempt can be felt by the
richer children for their starved COM
rades, for all are supplied with the
same metal token, which has to be
given up In exchange for the meal. The
"cantine scOlaire,' as this municipal
soup kitchen is called, is not confined to
Paris. In the provinces the "soupe
scolaire," its equivalent, has sent up
the school attendance by leaps and
bounds. Here, however, instead of
paying for their midday meal all those
who can possibly do so are encouraged
to bring to school their handful Of vege-
tables and the like. and the contribu.
tons are MI put into the common soup.

CONSUMPTION

ssessuIt. Obtained in Large Institution.

The Importance Of disinfection Is shown
by the results obtained at the Brooklyn
Home for Consumptives, the finest institu-
lion of the kind in New York. A letter
from the President is quoted;
"We have used Platt's Chlorides in the
Brooklyn Home for Consumptiyes for more
than ten years, and find it not only a COM
fort but necessity. Through its use we
defy the germs to make any inroads on
Inc nurses and employees who are in con-
slant attendance upon the sick. one hun
bred of whom are now in the institution.
One nurse has been there well on to ten
years, second almost as hong, and not one
person ever employed in the Home has de-
yeloped lung trouble. Mrs. s. V. White,
President, Kingston Ave-, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Platt's ChIorides Is an odorless, colorless
liquid disinfectant which instantly removes
any foul odors and destroys disease-breed-
Ing matter. A quart bottle will last an
average family q month and It can be
obtained at all druggists.

THE LOVERS CANDLES.
An Old courtship Custom That still
Prevails In Poland.


An Old Courtship Custom That still
Prevails In Poland.
A quaint old superstition is to this
day held in Poland TO the effect that
two lighted candles set afioat on the
rive, by two lovers will by their con-
duct foretcll II the course of true love
will run smooth or otherwise.
The lovers candles" are launched
at very pretty water fete that takes
place every summer on that part Of the
Vistula which runs through Poland. It
commences at sunset. The river Is
thronged with a procession Of little
boats containing masked ladies' and
gentlemen. Each person carries two
wreaths and two candles, the latter
representing the person carrying them
and the object Of his or her affections.
They are lighted. fixed firmly in the
center Of the wreaths and laid side BY
side In the water. Should they float
down the river close together it Is q
sign that their lives should be united.
Should they drift away from each 9TH
er it Is a sign that the lovers will be
parted, and should they only drift
asunder for a little way and farther on
come together again 1t is slgn that
the loved ones will only be parted for
time and all come right In the end.
There is much method and order about
the arrangement Of this procession.
The boats glide along in rows. so many |
ABREAST and after the first row have
proved their wreaths they move away
o the sides and the others come for
ward in succession. The river is well

BRYAN PALACES.

Each speech made by Mr.. Bryan
on his proposition for the govern
ment ownership and operation OF
railroads discloses new weak points
in his scheme At Raleigh, N. e.,
be attempted to put his critics IN
the position of advocating private
monopoly instead of the govern
mental monopoly which he would
institute and indicated that he
favored the government taking the
railroads on the ground that they
are a public necessity.
The contention that the rail-
roads are monopolistic in the
sense that they can and do exercise
the power of imposing exhoTbitant
charges. can not be sustained, es-
pecially since the passage of the
Hepburn law which imposes on the
road the burden. of proving that any
charge complained of by shipper
and condemned by the Interstate
Commerce Commission is reason
able and Just. Aside from this
however, the transportation charges
are limited and controlled by the
competition of carriers, or markets,
and of producing localities and. this.
competition combined with the fact
that a road can only prosper if the
shippers and communities served by
it prosper tend to keep charges
down to a reasonable and moder-
ate level without any governmental
supervision.

ownership
-nder government

Under government ownership
and operation, however, there would
be a complete monopoly. The
roads would then be managed by a
central administration in Washing
ion with no interest in endeavoring
tex develop to the utmost the BUSH
ness of each locality though offic-
ials, inkefesed sine certain localities
might look after their interests at
the expense of the rest OF the cou1i-
try. That government operation
weuId he much more EXPENSIVE than
that of the present corporation man
aeement is shown by the fact that
all kinds of work carried on by the
government costs vastly moro than
similar work done by private cor
porations or individuals. The re-
Isult would inevitably be an in
crease in charges, and there would
BE no appeal from government
made rate. No matter how lmrea-
sonable it might be the shipper or
passenger. would have. to pay it and
if a private corporation should at
tempt. to cornpete Mt lower rates the
strong arm of the government would
put it OUT of business just as eX-
press companies are not allowed TO
carry letters though they could do
it at less than the government pos
tai rates and earn large profits.
Mr.. Bryan predicts that the
country will he brought to govern
ment ownership through the fail
ure of regulation. 1t would be 4
safe prediction that after a short
trial of his plan the country would
prefer to return to private owner
ship even without government regu-
lation.
Mr.. Brvan's argument that the
roads should be taken by the gov
eminent because they are public
necessities is equally unfortunate
because il carried to It's logical con-
clusion it would involve pure so
cialism with the government own
ing all property and operating all
industries. Land is ever more of
public necessity than railroad
and if the government should own
the railroad system of the country
on the ground that it is a public
necessity the same reason would re-
quire the government to own all the
lands and conduct all the indus
tries of farming, mining and forest
nv. 1t is more desirable that the
people should~have food and cloth
ing than that they should ride in
railroad cars and Mr.. Bryan's argu-
ment would require the government
to take charge of the preparation of
the products of the land for food
and wear. In fact, if government
ownership and operation is to be
justified on the ground of public
necessity and applied to all necessi-
ties there would be few lines of
business left to private enterprise
except saloons. theatres and opera
houses.

gave this country the era of
hardest times it has ever known.
In West Virginia it gave the people
high tax law, and since it has been
turned out of power by a long suf-
fering people it has done nothing
but object to the wise and progress
sive policies of the Republican
party. EA { gxS}S FEEt
Mr.. Voter. to which OF these par
ties VIII you give your aIIegiance
this fall. The DeInpcrats aReY adj
vocatih2s HE very6 Identical IpEdi@
today that in 1892 brought such
financial ruin and such industrial
des6fat1on Co. ttie country at lafge
and to West Virginia. They tell
YOU that they did mot, have Q fair;
trial. But beea1sg a man escaped
Barelv with his life in powder ex-
pIosion. would he try it again to
see whether lds9enld not come out
ruscathed neS5t5 time? Will you
permit them to try the experiment
ON YOU again That is the question
every voter should ponder well.
The value of Democratic Prophe-
sizes with respect to what would
happen may he inferred by compar-
ing them with their prophesies OF
what would happen in the event of
Republican success. In. 1896 they
told the voters of West. Virginia
that Republican success at the polls
would mean unprecedentedly hard
times for the common people. They
predicted that the common people
would get as poor as the proverbial
Jobs turkey, and yet in spite OF
their prophesies, Just as soon as the
Republicans came back into power
the wheels of industry began to go
round. money began to get easy and
soup house fare for the working
man unemployed gave place to the
full dinner pail of the well paid
workingman. Instead of that era
of hard times there was inaugural
ed an era of widespread and gen
eral prosperity that has been in
creasing with the passing days I'M
ii to-day it reaches practically every
household in the land.
Again in 1900 the Democratic
prophet got busy. That time he
told you that this country was GO
ing to the dogs as fast as the I'M
locked wheels of time could carry
it, If the Republicans were returned
to power. 1t was going via the
ssImperialism" route. They were
so short sighted in their effort to
make political capital of the Re-
publican Philippine policy as to for
get that it was their own leader,
Mr.. Bryan, who had made such a
policy necessary. They admitted
that times were good-it would
have been an insrIe to the intelli-
gence Of. the people to have denied
it-but their prophet said it would
not last. What have been the
facts? The Philippine policy has
been indicated, and as for pos
perity each succeeding year has laid
its predecessor IN the shade until
today we are enjoying the most
magnificent prosperity ever enjoyed
by any nation or any people.
That shows how much Demo-
cratic promises ard predictions are
worth.

they did not want to promise the

the creation Of state railroad COM

will recall that some months ago,
when there was a fearful accident

commission but urged the matter
strongly. A cue seems to have been
taken from what the Telegram said
on the subject and now other papers
