THE SPRINGFIELD WAY.

The dispatches tell us that the eight boys arrested on account of the riots in Springfield. Ohio. had their fines and costs remitted by the judge, because the jury had only fixed a penalty of one dollar in each case. The judge declared that such verdict or recom- mendation by the jury was an outrage, so he remitted both fines and costs, and the account adds that the boys went out of the court room laughing Ii is further added that many citizens are indignant at the farce"
 We don't wonder at their indigna- ton. but 1t ought to go back further than the act of the jury. The princi- pal farce lay in arresting these boys and trying to hold them responsible for the riot and disorder that prevail ed at Springfield for several days and nights It was a riot in which hun dreds of citizens took part where much property was destroyed and where col ored people were mistreated. killed and maimed and driven from their homes It was a disgTsGsful affair from

Eishty-Fiye Minute. for D,n,.r

An authoritative article on House keeping on Half-a- Million a Year" is contributed by Emily Harrington to the April Everybody. In describing formal dinner. she says:
 Eight men, exclusive of the butler are required to serve a dinner of twenty-four covers. one being allowed for every three diners. Another one is stationed in the pantry to run in the courses. Absolute order and si- fence reign among these men. who per fectly understand the buffers cabal- istic signs. Electric signals pass con- stantly between chief and butler. From the seating of guests until the ladies leave, not more than eighty-five min utes should elapse, for long dinners are now considered bad form.
 Upon these occasions scarcely member of the domestic corps escapes some special duty. The housemaids assist the pantry maid. After each course of twenty-four silver plates and countless small silver must be carefully cleansed, wiped very dry, and then polished with chamois before be- ing put away Nearly two hundred. pieces of engraved crystal ware must be washed and polished, and it is too costly and brittle to be hastily han dled."

The Hon. David O. Robinson, County Treasurer of Frankfort, Ky. writes: 'I was very much run down from over work and suffered from indigestion and a severe nervous trouble The medicines prescribed all failed to help me. and could not take cod liver oil or emulsions. as the greasy mixtures unset my stomach One of our county oficials told me about your delicious cod liver preparation, Vinol. and what it had done for him decided to try it. and in a remarkably short time I was a well man Vinol built me up. cured my stomach and nervous trouble and have not been so well for years
 Our local druggist F. C. Fowler. says: ''Vinol cures conditions like this because 1t positively contains in a highly concentrated form all of the vitalIty-making and bodybuilding properties Of cod liver oil actually taken from fresh cods' livers. and with out a drop of oil to upset the stomach and retard its work

Congress and Wood Alcohol.

Baltimore Sun.
 The Massachusetts Labor Bulletin for January brings together many useful facts showing to what an extent re- fined wood alcohol injures not only those who drink 1t, but those also Wno 10 Substituted for grain alcohol. In Flu rope grain alcohol Is used in the arts mixed with a nauseous drug, which ren, it is said to be "denaturized" and is free from the heavy tax exacted from ordinary grain alcohol But the Gov ernment of the United States has so far alcohol from the tax of S2.07 gallon, with the result that the people are driven to use wood alcohol, which IS freap tremely 0IS dangerous, @ producing blind ness and other bad effects in those who work with 1t. Concerted demands upon Congress for untaxed denaturized grain alcohol are resisted by manufacturers having large investments in wood alco- hol plants, who demand protection for their investments. But the matter is a large one-too large to be decided on a basis so narrow was the vested in terests of a dozen or two wood-alcohol makers.
 Shellac varnish in this country is alcohol, because, as stated. being un- taxed, wood alcohol is cheap. Painters using this varnish in close places be- come dizzy and nauseated and subse- quently suffer from vomiting, headache and blindness. Vanishing Is not the only occupation in which blindness and death are caused by the use of wood alcohol instead of the vastly more ex- pensive grain alcohol. In hatmaking. soap making, manufacturing celluloid, detonating powders, smokeless powder, dyes, electrical apparatus and photo graphic supplies. 1t injures seriously the health of employees pr. Butler of Montreal notes fifty-four cases of in jury, with forty deaths. MT. J. W. Cot ton of Lynn. Mass, gives details of eight cases of the use of wood alcohol in the arts with disastrous results. A painter, for example, who shellacked floors of three rooms with wood- alco- hol varnish, working three days at the job. become totally and permanently blind. In view of facts like these, 1t would seem to be the duty of Congress to amend the existing internal revenue laws so as to permit the use of dena- turized alcohol free of tax.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-04-02

At the Delta Upsilon dinner in New York last Friday District Attorney Je- rome said several very true things and this about the hysterical condition of the public:
 Public opinion goes hither and thitheI like a ship, but in the long course of and will make it's port; but it lies on you to see to it that it's tacks are no longer than they ought to be. It is wasted power. that sentiment of the back again to another. Today all through this nation what do we find a case of absolute hysteria.
 Gentlemen. no nation ever built its perjury. tort and larceny; and yet to- day you would think this great coun- try we love was setting it's course on this foundation.
 David Graham Phillips is now writ ing about the Treason of the Senate for a magazine. Treason Is an ugly word. It is punishable by death. We have got so used to superlatives that bauched and we have no superlatives left. The Senate of the United States is it a reasonable body? A body that holds man like Murray Crane of Mas
 Because some men are there who ought not to be there-some who bought the poeltion-Shali we say that the governors of our body polite are guilty of treason? Base men are there, but when in the bright, breezy senti- ments of modern newspaper life you as- sert there is treason, you either lie or misconceive the meaning of the Eng fish language.
 Take this reasonable body that would strike down our national life and contrast ii with your representa- tive body swayed by popular opinion. Take the Hepburn bill. Seven men voted against 1t, and not a man able to understand it. But the yellows said we must have something doing, and so your popular branch said we must do something. whether we understand it or not.
 With a President who thinks every yearning can be constitutionally en- acted into law, with a House of Repre- sentatives typified by William Suizer, the Friend of the People. where would there be safety unless in the United States Senate?
 T hold no brief to defend individual Senator's but there are many men there who were there when we were at our mothers breasts, who love their country and would betray 1t no sooner than David Graham Phillips would. The railroads are bad. They ought to be checked. but not by something those who vote for don't understand. If that is the way we are to govern give me a benevolent desponism.

4 Religious RaiIroad.


 The Hedjaz railroad. which is to unite Damascus with Mecca. is being built for the purpose of carrying pill grims 10 and from the latter. the holy city of Mussulmans. For the larger part of its course of some 1900 miles 1t will pass through deserts, idle and unfertile regions. Still, it will benefit some of the country about Jordan. a district whose crops have no market on account of the want of transporta- tion; and branch lines for commercial and industrial uses will be construct ed From Damascus to Maan. about 400 miles. the road has been doing business for some months. The Ger mans superintend the job. Turkish soldiers do the work: and they don't get union pay. To Mecca by rail per sonally conducted! The world is growing smaller every day.-"with the Procession Everybody's Magazine for April.

How Can They Collect.


 Bonds of Southern States issued dur ing reconstruction time when carpet baggers were in command are in de- fault to the extent of about $500 0,000, 900 United States has held in an action brought by South Dakota against North Carolina that a bond to the amount of $1O, 900 issued by North Carolina many years ago will have to be paid. The amount now due with accrued interest
 Prompted by that experiment some holde CTS of South Carolina bonds have act as bond collector for them, but Governor Warner indignantly refuses to be party to any such 'scurvy action. There is no more unpleasant chapter In the story of the robbing of Southern States by carpetbaggers and 1t Is among the regrettable things, to say the least, that any State can be found willing to cooperate with holders of bonds issued during that time to make collection now.
 One of the interesting features of the case is the question of how the decree of the court can be enforced. Unless North Carolina is willing to include the debt in her tax budget or to ap- propriate the money for it from the public revenue, there is no way in which payment may be enforced.
 It Is highly unlikely that defaulting States will pay any attention to such judgments even though fought in the courts. for that kind of debt has been repudiated as a matter of public justice ever since responsible men returned to power in the States that were so terribly despoiled thirty years ago. Ev- cry legitimate debt ot these States Is either met or prepared to be met in an honorable way.
 But there is no quality of justice which demands that a people who have been heavily robbed should be held up in courts to be plucked again.
