EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Cheer up, We Radicals of New York.
Intelligent radicals ought not to be
discouraged by the defeat of Mr..
Hearst. Had the contest in New
York been between an old-line on
sentative and an honest and able lib
eral, the progressive candidate would
have won by an i~ncalculable major
ity. Had Governor Higgins, for eX-
ample, run against Judge Gaynor, or
Mayor Adam, nothing could have
saved The republicans. Honest pro-
gress may be rendered more difficult
by the vast noise of individuals in
search of office, but it will not be
made impossible. The election of
Mr.. Hughes means that in New York
reform, OF the kind exemplified by
Mr.. Roosevelt, and by the insurance
investigation and legislation will be
carried on under a republican label,
while the dear old democracy, having
allowed Mr.. Hearst to v~ociferate him
self into leadership, will add an inch
or two TO the ears of the animal
which is its so aptly chosen emblem.
The republican politicians in New
York were forced to nominate a man
whose deeds were a cheerful symp-
tom of advancing Justice; they sat
back, in grim stupidity, while he
fought alone;, and the voters of New
York decided merely, like American
citizens, for self-respecting, fair
minded progress. against trickery,
struggle for personal power, and
trust in noise. The democratic party
loses, as usual, but the independent,
liberal-minded men in every party
will see justice each year made more
even. upon this good old sphere, and
in this fair land, with its malice to-
ward none, with its confidence in the
right, with its hope. its charity, and
its faith.-From Golfers for Novem-
Der II, 1906.

SHOULD HAVE PLEASURE TOO.

We are all familiar with the OLD
adage, IAN work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy and some of us Of
ten wonder why the same adage Goes
not apply to Jacks sister "Jill," or
their mother.
Who is there that has not met the
self-sacrificing mother, who tolls and
drudges in the home all day in order
that her children may be comforta-
BILE and have the luxuries of the chill
dren in homes where servants are en-
ployed to do the heavy work; the
mothers who deny themselves every
pleasure and recreation, even while
their children are enjoying unlimited
pleasures and pastimes.
While a woman may have the very
best intentions in following such a
course, she is very often far from
right. for without osem recreation or
endowment, besides that which she
finds in her daily life, she units her
self for the duties required of her in
her home, whereas if she were to
give herself up to some mild diver
sion from time to- time, such as a
days outing in the country, an after
noon at the home of a friend, or see
ing a good play, she would broaden
her individual sphere and would be
enabled to put better work into her
everyday duties.
1t is a great mistake for a woman
to deny herself the many little pleas
ures she enjoyed before her marriage
in order that her children may have
pretty clothes, see all the new plays,
and make a good showing before
their young friends, and no self
respecting son OF daughter would be
happy in the pursuance of such pleas
ures knowing they were obtained at
such a sacrifice.
1t is all very well to argue that no
mother worthy~o OF the name but will
strain a point to put her children for
ward in the eyes of the world, but
does she ever stop to consider that
She is apt to develop a spirit of sell
fishness in them by doing so? This
is another side to the question and
one one which most mothers should
weigh carefully.

MADE DRUNK ON AIR.

There can be no doubt that the air
Of distilleries, wine and spirit vaults
must contain appreciate quantities
of alcohol.s The stranger on his first
visit to the great sheddy bodegas in
the south of Spain, experiences at
first a decided sense of exhilaration
with quickening of the pulse, follow
ed by a narcotic effect, a feeling of
languor and headache. In the great
brandy stores of Cognac, again, to
some people the air is s%ickening.
1t might be naturally expected that
the more volatile constituents of
wines and spirits would be the first
to evaporate into the air, and possibly
the volatile others would thus pre-
vail. 1t has been said that the effevt
of inhaling the air of the sherry
vaults is more marked than when 9TH
er spurious liquors are kept in store.
Air, therefore, impregnated with
the vapors of spirits and wines, must
have a deteriorating effect on the
health. And according to an exami-
nation made of the air of a distillery,
it would appear that no less than an
ounce of proof spirit, or one-half
ounce of absolute alcohol, may be
present in five cubic feet of air. And
since this alcohol would gain access
to the circulation through the lungs,
it would follow that special arrange
ments of ventilation are an absolute
necessity.
