President Roosevelt's method of
thWarting evil political influences by
the appeal to the country" has been
adopted by Governor Hughes The
governor of New York has an election
mandate to clean out some Of the dead
and rotten timber in that ship Of
state. To help him in this-he has a
reluctant le2islat ture, made up to a
considerable extent of this condemned
timber. He is trying to remove an Of
fensive bureau chief. The legislature
cries coercion, usurpation. and tries all
the lodges with which Mr.. Roosevelt's
contests with the senate have made
the country familiar. Then Mr.. Hughes
made a speech. He Is not trying to
boss the legislature, but only this, as
he said TO a delegation of citizens: 1T
is my duty 10 learn your wishes and
to see that they are carried out And
he added: "If you believe that certain
measures are for the good of the
state. Ii Ii your duty 20 use your In
fiuencc for their passage" III Cow
ernor Hughes had been put i'm office
with mandate from "A special interest
or corrupt machine. he would have
the united and enthusiastic support OF
the people for whom he was working.
Instead. he Is working for all the citi-
gems OF the state. Whether they de-
serve 10 have him succeed depends
upon whether they heed his appeal for
their support This rule holds true in
other states than New York also.

Contrary to what seems to be the
common understanding, the action of
the South Carolina legislature in abol-
ishing the state liquor dispensary sys-
tenn, does not constitute q return to
the saloon. system Of liquor selling.
Much of the objection to the dispen-
sary system as fostered by Senator
Tillman came from opponents of liquor
selling who objected that the law did
not permit local option on the question
OF whether or not dispensaries should
be established in any district Under
the old law counties could by a very
difficult process keep out the dispen-
sary and fourteen had done SO. But
the obstacles were serious. The law
abolishing the state dispensary is in
conformity to the notions of the local
option people, not of the liquor inter-
ests That is to say, county option on
the question Of prohibition versus
county dispensaries will prevail. It is
expected that prohibition in a majority
of the counties of the state will at
once result from the abolishing of the
state dispensary, while county dis
pensaries, operated under county con-
troll, will be the means Of liquor dis
tribution in the other counties.

Another way to deal with the liquor
business is to put men on the bench
like Judge Artman Of Indiana In a
decision handed down during the Week
he holds that it is without the prov
ince of a legislature to license or to
authorize the licensing of liquor selling
any more than it would be to license
the commission Of acts generally rec
ognized as crimes. "Can the legisla-
ture," he asks, "legalze the destruc-
ton of the public health, the public
morals, and the public safety? 1t must
be held that the state cannot under the
loon business legal existence, because
to hold that it can is to hold that the
state may sell and delegate the right
to make widows and orphans the
right to break up homes the right to
create misery and crime, the right to
make murderers the right to produce
idiots and lunatics, the right to fill or
phanages, poor houses, asylums. jais
and penitentiaries. and the right to
furnish subjects for the galloWs" If
the state supreme court were to up
hold Judge Artman's view the legal
lied saloons would have to close their
doors in Indiana But the court is like
ly to hold that the Judges premises,
while conceded in most part, are yet
not sufficiently accepted to take eff
feet in law without a statutory foun-
dation.

Perhaps that big sun spot means a
change in the weather of the earth,
and series of years Of scant rainfall,
and all that such a thing implies III
financial and social conditions. Such
a suggestion is not entirely fanciful,
The present spot is not less than 118,006
miles long and 10000 miles broad That

the government held the recent cleo

mates the discretion of the govern

Oregon is attacking the free pass
evil from another angle by requiring
the railroads to carr. free all state
and district officers and county judges
and sheriffs. The theory is that when
public officials receive free transporta-
ton by virtue of the law they will feel
under no obligations to the corpora
tions. The defect in the plan is
that it does not prohibit the use of
passes in general political campaign
ing, one of the chief evils of the dark
age from which the country is just
emerging. This Oregon bill has been

One of the important proposals be-
fore the Massachusetts, legislature sis
that it permit the formation of ceme-
terry corporations to maintain burial
places for pet animals, the property to
be free from taxation along with burial
grounds for human beings. In the east
ern centers of population the demand
for space is making burial expensive
and not little dangerous TO the COM
community. The sensible advice for the
people with pets is to establish a Gre

Denatured alcohol at % cents a gall
lon can compete successfully with gas
oline at 20 cents for use in automo-
biles. SO announce the experts of the
Automobile club of America. AS often
stated alcohol can be made in Cuba
from base molasses at a cost of 10
cents a gallon, and from 30-cent corn
in the United States at about Is cents.
With the cents worth of wood alco-
hol added for denaturing purposes, the
price is still within reach of competi-
tion with gasoline, barring artificial
high prices due to control by the dis
tilling trust The bar to this is the
bill now before the senate to permit
small distilleries, such as every COM
munity might have, to manufacture
denatured alcohol. Unless the bill is
passed in the senate by March A. it's
passage by the house will have been
of no avail.

The condemnation of the newspapers
for printing the details of the Thaw
case testimony just made by the w. G.
T. U. of Lincoln will meet with wide
spread endorsement from the public.
At the same time, it is doubtful if i.

counterbalance the good will result
from the publication Of this matter.
The testimony concerning Stanford
White has been the most powerful SER

Apparently some people would like
to know how the American people
would take a suggestion that the
Sherman law be repealed SO many
timid proposals along this line are
being put forward as to create a sus-
pici0n that a concerted movement to
that end is afoot The reasoning ad-
Vanced is that combinations are formed
by natural law and we cannot hope to
prevent them by artificial enactment.
All we can hope to do is to regulate
them after they are formed. There
fore let us repeal the law that makes
it risky to follow the natural law, the
higher law, we might call it, so
as not to hamper commercial progress
The suggestion will be enthusiastically
received by two classes, the monopo-
lists and the socialists.

The news from the British battle
ship Dreadnaught is that she behaved
excellently on her trip to Gibraltar.
The naval correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Graphic declares that she
"perft rmed exceliently and showed
herself TO be a first rate seaboat."
Some doubt had been felt as to the
safety OF sending such monster to
sea. Unfortunately these fears prove
to be iii founded. The Dreadnaught
will be followed by other ships of the
same class in England and then all
over the world, as a matter of course.
Indeed the British admiralty has infor-
nation that not less than eleven mon
sters copied after the Dreadnaught
are either building or projected in

ing of the six or seven that England
herself will add to her fleet as soon

Strangely enough it seems not to
have occurred to our court officials
that the great risk of mistrial in
such cases as the Thaw trial because
of the illness or other Interpretation of
a juror could easily be obviated. In a
case that threatened to be long drawn
out and heavy strain on jurors one
or two alternate jurors could be pro-
vided to hear the evidence with the
rest and participate in the decision
only in case a regular juror became
incapacitated. District Attorney Jerome
paid particular attention to the health
of jurors in selecting the Thaw jury,
but that did not prevent hitch in the
trial through the absence OF a juror.
