MOT so ECCENTRIC.

J. Eads How Of St. Louis is described
as an eccentric philanthrOpist," be-
cause he has announced his intention
TO establish a charity hospital for the
cure of persons addicted TO the liquor,
drug and cigarette habits. The word
eccentric" is usually taken to mean
mentally unbalanced without being alb
solutely insane. We fail to see any
great eccentricity in a proposition TO
cure without charge individuals who
have become slaves to the use Of liquor,
drugs and cigarettes. On the contrary,
It seems a most worthy charity.
Mr.. How declares, and with much
truth, that whisky, drugs and cigar
cites are the causes of more misery
among more people than any lack OF
food, shelter or raiment. Victims OF
these habits cause suffering TO them
selves and to all around them. Very
very often their lives end in prison OF
on the gallOws; very often, in periods OF
maniacaI inebriety they wreck the hap
piness and sometimes take the lives OF
those nearest and dearest TO them. Il
is well known fact that the expense
of taking one of the many so-calIed
cures is too great to be borne by people
in straitened circumstances.
The How charity win open the way tC
those who really want to be cured. The
work is one that is entitled TO and thai
should receive the cordial approval OF
all good people. If Mr.. How, who Is
is not altogether sane, his eccentricity
is of a type that the country could
stand a great deal more of and be much
better off. We wish him much success
in his undertaking and have no doubt
of his ability to carry it to a triumph.

them are committed In self-defense,
many in the heat and passion OF q
sudden quarrel. Nevertheless, there is
a grave disproportion between the
number of killings and the number OF
capital punishments. Says Mr.. White;
In the next year 5000 people will be
murdered in this country. AS l stand
here today I tell you that 5000 are
doomed to death, with all the cruelty
of the criminal heart and with no re-
gard to home and family ties. have
no sympathy for the criminal. My
sympathy is for those who will be muir
dered, for their families. for their chill
dren."
There is an impressive presentation
of the situation. 1t may seem hard to
believe that by this time next year
5000 American citizens viii have died
by the hands of their fellow citizens.
And how many of the slayers will be
punished? One in forty-six, says Mr..
White. Is not the proportion altogether
too small? Lynch law, cannot, of course,
be justified by any form of argument.
Men who break into Jail, take thence
a murderer and execute him are them
selves, in the eyes of the law, guilty of
murder.
But if by any line of reasoning,
lynching could be justified, these fig
ures would seem to furnish the basis
for it. Human life is held too cheaply
all over the United States. The west
is not more guilty in this respect than
the east, the north than the south All
sections are equally to blame. And in
all sections there must soon be a stead
fast. determined, manly effort to better
conditions.
Lynching VIII not be tolerated, but
there should be campaign against the
mawkish sympathy which invests cow
ardly murderers with wreaths OF
flowers, which crystallizes in long
petitions for pardons and In weakness
among our jurors and our courts.

ELECTION REFORM TALK.

The national conference for the re-
form of election and primary laws that
has been in session in New York was
not so productive Of good as had been
hoped. The truth is that the individual
states will have to settle their own
election problems. Such matters cannot
be left to any national convention.
Conditions differ in different states so
much that no general law can be made
to fit all of them. In a purely advisory
way, however, national conventions are
capable of staring excellent reforms.
Few of the suggestions made at the
New York meeting are of special value.
A sample is the following, introduced
by a delegate from Chicago:
Resolved. That il is the sense Of this
conference that the voting of a straight
party ticket at election by a single
mark or cross upon a written ballot or by
d similar single act in the cases where
voting machines are used. should be made
impossible by law, and that the names Of
all candidates for any office should be
grouped on the official ballot on IN the
voting machine under the title Of that Of
flee and not in a single party column or
line or other single party arrangement
Recent elections have pretty thor
oughIy demonstrated that in most of
the states the voters know well enough
how to scratch their ballots. Roose-
welt carried Missouri, but Folk. Demo-
crat, was elected governor; and the rest
of the Republican state ticket was
elected. Exactly the same results were
reached in Minnesota, where Johnson,
Democrat. was elected governor in spite
Of the great Roosevelt plurality and
the plurality for other candidates on
the Republican ticket. More recently,
William Travers Jerome was elected
district attorney in New York City
when every ballot cast for him, except
those cast for him alone, was Of neces-
sity a scratched ballot, because he ran
q an independent candidate
The objection has often been made
| that it is so much easier to cast a
! straight ballot than a scratched ballot
hat many who really desire to scratch
are afraid to do so. They fear the in
valuation Of their ballots. Still, when
! people really want to defeat a candidate
thew usually find the way to do it. Take
/ the case Of the Livingston
/ race for judge in the Sanpete district
| Under ordinary circumstances Repub-
/ Hcan nominee in that district has a
| first mortgage on the office. Yet Erick-
/ son defeated Livingston in spite of the
/ fact that the district went heavily for
all the other Republican nominees.
| II is not necessary to make it harder
| to vote a straight ballot.

OUR MONEY CIRCULATION.

If you had less money in February
than you usually have in that month
there is a reason for it. and an excel
lent one There was 100000 less in
circulation in February than in Janu-
airy. You may think il is a pity that
you didn't know this sooner, for it
would have given you a 1rst-class ex-
cuse for any embarrassing failure to
meet your obligations promptly. Some
people noticed the decreased circUla-
ton. others didn't That's the way this
money business goes. The people who
didn't need it had more than anybody,
as usual
According to a recent treasury state
ment, 50, 81, 1902. SOB was in circulation in
the United States March 1. 1906. On the
corresponding date in 1905 the circUla-
ton was $3.50, SAFE. a gain of S11O,-
6S7.791 for the twelve months. As the
latest population estimate places the
total at S4,194. 600, the per capita circu-
Iation was in the neighbOrhOod of S31.73,
The question is: Do you possess that
much money? Yet in spite of the in
crease for the twelve months there was
a decrease in February, because Of
money taken from the market by the
treasury department.
This money has since been restored
however, with S1O,0OO.OOO in addition
pursuant TO an order issued by Secre-
tary Shaw shortly after the opening Of
the present month. The S10,O0O0OO has
been deposited with the various desig-
mated government repositories 1t may
be interesting here to account for the
increase of more than S11O, 5OO,O 900 in the
circulation Most of it was accounted
for by issues of national bank notes
aggregating, in round numbers. $S4000,-
OOO The supply of gold coin increased
by $4,000. coo, of gold certificates $4,000,
600. of fractional OF subsidiary silver

than 81, 600, 600 in treasury notes of 1890

YNcHINe AND HoMIclDEs.

To the ease with which murderers
escape proper punishment Andrew D.
White attributes the lynchings in this
country. The suggestion is not. we be-
lieve, original with Mr.. White. Others
have made It before him, but special
interest attaches to his remarks on the
subject because o. the interesting
figures ne presents in support of his
theory.
According to Mr.. White, out of forty
six homicides only one slayer is pun
ished in the United States. Every
homicide is not murder. Many OF
