MAN SHOULD LIVE BY WORK.
Must Perform Some Sort Of Labor or
Perish From the Earth.

Must Perform Some Sort Of Labor or
Perish. From the Earth.
The preliminary preparations Of the
adjoining territories Of Indian and
Oklahoma for statehood In one COM
monwealth under the name Of the lat
ter is one Of the most striking demon
strations of the truth Of the law OF
labor, says the New Orleans Picay-
une.
The edict that man should live by
work, whether by hand or brain, was
pronounced against our race In the
beginning Of its history. BY the sweat
of his face shall man eat bread. In
order to earn q subsistence he must
perform some sort Of labor and the
converse Of this is that they who re-
fuse to render some useful service
shall perish from the face Of the
earth.
The first people in the New World to
suffer the penalties Of this law OF Ia
bor have been the aborigines, the
American Indians. It has been estt-
mated that at the first coming OF the
white man there were in the entire
extent of North America 100000 OF
Indians. By the census Of 1900 there
were In the entire limits Of the conti-
mental United States, including civil
lied and uncivilized, taxed and untax-
ed, only 237,196 Indians. There are
L., Q,-if
that north Of Mexico there are scarcely
more than 100000 Indians in the vast
region inhabited by English speaking
peoples. Mexico is still the stronghold
of the red race, where out Of 100000
Of population 80 per cent, or about TO-
900, 900, are mixed and pure-blooded
Indians, the pure bloods aggregating
about 100000.
What has caused the disappearance
of the Indians among the English
speaking peoples of North America?
Simply the fact that they were from
the first a migratory race with no fx-
ed habitation or agriculture and sub
sisting by the chase upon the wild an
imal and vegetable products Of the
country.
The Indians refused to labor and they
have perished from the vast region
over which they once roamed at will.
In Mexico the situation was different
from the first advent of the white men.
Spanish conquerors found an indus
trious and civilized people living In
permanent habitations and often In
great cities built chiefly Of stone and
containing all the evidences Of highly
organized political and religious insti-
tutions.

Briton Declares We Think We Have
a Monopoly of Freedom.

W0noPoiy VI ETSoo0Ws
A carping Briton by the name of
whitley seems to be quite stirred up
over the quality of the American brand
Of liberty and Of patriotism.
Liberty" says he, in the course Of
q few somewhat heated remarks, in
BlackwooTs Magazine, sis thing
which no one in America can escape.
The old inhabitant smiles with satis-
faction as he murmurs the familiar
word. At every turn 1t is clubbed into
the unsuspecting visitor.
IF an aspirant to the citizenship Of
the Republic decline to be free he
would doubtless be thrown into a dun
geon, fettered and manacled, until he
consented to accept the precious boon.
"You cannot pick up a newspaper
without being reminded that liberty is
the exclusive possession Of the United
States. The word, II not the quality.
Is the commonplace Of American his
tory. It looks out upon you-the word
again, not the quality-from every
boarding. 1t Is uttered in every dis
course, but the truth Is that American
liberty is the mere creature Of rhetor-
ic.
Americas view of patriotism is dis
tinguished by the same ingenious ex-
aggeration as her view Of liberty. She
has as little doubt of her grandeur as
Of her freedom. She is, in brief,
Gods own country, and in her esteem
Columbus was no mere earthly explor-
er; he was the authentic discoverer
Of the promised land.
Neither argument nor experience
will ever shake the Americans con-
fidence in his noble destiny. On all
other questions uncertainty is possi-
BILE. 1t is not possible to discuss Amer
ica's supremacy. In arms as in arts,
the United States Is unrivaled. 1t
alone enjoys the blessings Of civiliza-
ton. 1t alone has been permitted TO
combine material with moral progress.
It alone has solved the intricate prob
lens of life and politics.
1T has the biggest houses, the best
government, and the purest law that
the world has ever known. Perfect
freedom is its exclusive privilege, as
skyscrapers and elevated railways are
its exclusive possessions. It's univer-
stiles surpass Oxford and Cambridge,
Paris and Leipzig In learning, as Its
churches surpass the churches Of the
Old World in the proper understanding
of theology. In brief, to use its own
phrase, America is Tt the sole home
of the good and great"

TILE WEEPING WILLow.-The weep
ing willow tree came to America
through the medium Of Alexander
Pope, the poet, who planted a willow
tw1g on the banks of the Thames at
his Twickenham villa. The twig came
to him in a box Of figs sent from
Smyrna by a friend who had lost all
in the South Sea bubble, and had gone
to that distant land to recoup his for
tunes. Harper's Encyclopedia tells the
story Of the willows arrival in Amer
lea. A young British officer, who came
to Boston with the army to crush the
rebellion Of the American colonies,
brought with him a twig from Poe's
now beautiful willow tree, intending
to plant it in America when he should
comfortably settle down on lands con-
fiscated from the conquered Ameri-
cam. The young officer was disap-
pointed in these expectations, and
when the British finally evacuated
Virginia, he gave his willow twig
wrapped in oil silk, to John Parke
Custis, Mrs. Washington's son, who
planted 1t on his Abingdon estate In
Virginia. 1t thrived under his atten-
ton, and became the progenitor Of all
our willow trees.-Woman's Home

.tgDoctor Wiley, the government food
expert, has been connected with the
agricultural department for a good
many years, says the Kansas City
Star. When Uncle Jerry Rusk Of Wis
consin, was secretary of agriculture,
Doctor Wiley brought him letter to
sign. 1t had been written to an I'M
pertinent but influential correspondent
and was couched in cunningly sarcas-
tic vein. Mr.. Rusk read 1t with de-
light, roared out his laughing approval
and then tore 1t up. In answer to Doc
tor Wiley's look Of amazement, he
said THAT was bully letter. Now
go and write one that we can send to
the blame fool. Doctor Wiley learned
there and then that witty and sarcas-
tic letters are not in favor in the gov
ernment service

COPPER FOR GOLD.
Bank of England Branch Swindled an
Unusual Way.

Unusual Way.
A remarkable story Of halfpennies
being substituted for half sovereigns
was told at the Manchester city police
court recently, says the London Mail,
when Henry Douglas Anderson, who
had been employed at the Manchester
branch Of the Bank Of England and af-
ter absconding had been arrested In
Canada, was charged with stealing
91081.
In stating the case for the prosecu-
ton, F. E. Smith, M. p, said that the
prisoners duty was that Of separating
light weight gold coins from those OF
full weight, and he had to put the full
weight coins into bags which he had
to label and sign. On July 13, he alb
sented himself, and on August 2 the
bank issued twenty-five bags Of half
sovereigns to Messrs. Williams, Dea-
cons bank, and fourteen Of them,
which has been made up by the pris-
oner, were found to have been tamper-
ed with, half sovereigns having been
replaced by the necessary number of
halfpennies to make up the correct
weight. Two other bags in the banks
treasury which bore his signature were
also found TO have been tampered with
in the same way, and the total sum
missing was f10s1.
On September 13 the bank received
letter from the prisoner in Winnipeg,
in which he practically admitted his
guilt, and made reference to the mad
act he had committed.
Evidence was given by number of
bank clerks, including a retired detec-
tive inspector, named John Woolven,
who, describing his search for Ander-
son, said he went down to Whitstable-
on Sea and found the prisoners wife
and family living there. In drawer
he found G647.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL PENSIONS.

The idea of civil service pension seems to
meet with much favor in Washington. OF course,
there those who do not like the pension idea
at all. But there special why this idea
of pensionng the men and women employed in the
various government departments meets with spe-
cial favor.
There are many in the governments employ
who are too old to render adequate service The
government officials do not like to turn subordi-
mates out for they know that in very rare cases
have the old employees been able to save enough TO
insure their enjoying securely the ordinary COM
forts of life so needed in the last years.
The government is somewhat different from
other taskmasters 1t is perhaps easier satisfied,
but it offers fewer opportunities for advancement
than does the ordinary employer There is little
chance for those investments which men in the
professions and in business have opportunity
to make and which, more than any regular habit of
saving is responsible for their accumulation of
sufficient money for their last years.
While there are opportunities for men today
great, if not greater than at any other time, still
for the great majority the fight to accumulate be-
yond the amount needed for bringing up family
is hard one II we are not in the midst of hard
times, we bearing the burden of high prices.
1t may be all wrong to provide pensions for
government employees or anyone else, but sooner or
later it will be done. General theories give way
to practical necessities and as the governments S
business must be done new and younger help must
be provided. Now, some further object to the idea
Of deducting sum like $357 on salary of $Ioo
month the ground that if the party should
leave the government service or should die before
they reached the retiring age that of 70 years they
would get no benefit 1t may. however be neces-
sary that this sacrifice should be made, for the
chance of being independent at 70 and under no
obligations to anyone is mighty inviting one.

OUR TRADE WITH CHINA.

The Chinese are continuing to take kindly to
our flour, and if there is proportonate increase
this year over last in demand, there may be high
prices here II would be better to say that this in
creased demand will be factor, though, perhaps,
not very large one, in keeping the price of wheat
in the home market up. Trade reports to
weather conditions in England and Ireland would
seem to indicate heavier demand than usual for
our food bducts the present year. The Chinese
demand is s'interestng because it seems to indicate
change in the customs of the empire of the Great
Mogul in relation to diet
Flour Of the value of S7I2o5o was imported
into China from this country in 1906, and this was
an increase of some 100000 worth the pre-
vious year. OF course, the figures not very
large, when one considers the immense population
of China but every increase of trade especially in
so important an article as -four, is most encourag-
ing.
Some other imports of China interesting.
While China imported lumber to the extent of
S7soIII from Japan, our merchants sold her lum-
Der of the value of S38,736. American pine is not
favored by the Chinese contractor though much OF
il is used for the heavier and important work.
Korean pine is preferred by the contractor, it is
softer and can be more easily sawed. In tact, SO
careful is the Chinaman to get a proportionate re-
turn for his labor that he will charge more than
twice as much for saving American pine than he
will for saving Korean. One of the strangest
things in commerce is ginseng 1t is looked upon
by the Chinese as wonderful panacea, and while
the best of it comes from Manchuria, single root
bringing as much at Sill, quite lot of the root of
an inferior quality is shipped from this country to
Hong Kong and there clarified The Manchurian
root is wild and the American is cultivated. 1t is
not so very long ago that certain papers contained
articles telling of the immense fortunes to be made
in cultivating ginseng root for China. Now some
of the American product sells in China as low as
So 40 per catty, of one and one-thrd pounds. Yet
the American clarified of best quality sells for
SII5o per catty. The wild root is used for tonic
and the clarified for blood purifier by the Chinese.

THE NEW ORLEANS EXAMPLE.

The New Orleans board of trade some time
ago issued invitations for a meeting of grain cx-
porters at Fortress Monroe and it was the desire
of the board to have as large a representation of
the exporters present possible. Their hopes
were not realized, as only delegates from three
large exporting points were present, and none of
the big grain exporters, those OF New Orleans
delegated men TO represent them. For some time
complaints from Europe TO the poor condition
In which grain arrived there have caused much
annoyance to those who believed in honest busi-
ness methods 1t was to remedy existing evils that
this convention was called. The few delegates in
attendance took initatory steps for getting all the
grain exporting ports interested in some proper
system of shipment. One of the great sources Of
complaint is that exporters of undesirable grain
ship it to ports where the inspection is lax Eu-
ropeans, il seems, will not discriminate between
grain coming from good ports and bad. and are
always waiting for the opportunity to- complain
against American grain. 1t will be readily seen
how vital matter this is to producers of grain
and to those who find a market for the farmers
The New Orleans merchants know that eventually
the national government must deal with this mat
ter of grain exporting unless private parties do.
These merchants believe that there should be pride
enough amongst the grain men to see that good
