The Interpreter" in the American
Magazine for January says that every
man is his own best reformer. He
writes:
IF reform movements have no 9TH
er value, they help the mer engaged
in them. II nobody else is reformed,
the reformer is. He goes out to i'm
prove Senator Aldrich's bad political
manners and ends by making a bet
ter nan of himself or a better wo-
man of his wife. If he does 1t from
nc higher motive, he must live up to
his blue china
THE next best thing to virtue it.
self is the inclination of virtue in 9TH
ers. 1t grows in and gradually be-
a fixed habit. | have observed
that socialists are the finest manner
ed people in any community. Their
political doctrines, founded on a
dream of universal justice, react up
on their practical daily life. They are
more kind, more tolerant, more
thoughtful of the feelings of others
in their personal relations, because
the political relations they hope for
can only exist in partnership with
general good will. So | say that If
the present stirring up has not abated
all or any great political and indus
trial evil, 1t has had general results
of no small Importance. No matter
where reform begins. it ends at home,
and the agitation has stirred the i'm
aginations of many thousands of men
and women and given them a new
conception of their duty to the rest
of mankind. The rogue may be no

the better for Christening him. The
schoolmaster learns by teaching. The
physician takes his own medicine and
gives it to his family. The preacher
practices. The captain sends his men
nowhere that he would not go him
self. A party has been created that
in defining for others what they
should do has defined for itself what
1t should do. There are more people
on the mourning bench than there
were. The penitentiaries. are not as
full as some of us would like to see
them, but there are not so many peo-
pie who are tritiing with the laws. We
know better where we stand. We
have raised the level of public life
and private conduct. We have Gre
ated a new plane on which we will
work until the occasion or the neces-
sity comes to jack up this one. We
have not learned to fly either politi-
cally or physically. But if our feet
are on the ground our heads are near

THURSDAY, JANUARY 8.
THE p oBBY.

Every Independent citizen who is
anxious to see Justice done to all by,
the state legislature will cooperate
heartily with The Peoples Lobby of
Z New Jersey, which was organized re
Gently in Newark, and which now has
A representatives from a majority OF
- all the counties on its governing
board. NJ
Just what the lobby proposes to
do is set forth in a circular sent out,
which, in part, is as follows:
THE purposes of xhe Peoples
Lobby will be to have Ats representa-
tives present at the Sessions of the
legislature, whose dhty 1t will be to
examine all Bills offered and to
see whether they fairly represent the
Interests of the people, or whether
Where be ATTACHED to them any incl
Antal clauses, popularity known as
Nders' or 'jokers,' and whether bills
De conflicting or contradictory, use
less or useful, and to make these bills
known to members of the lobby.
Its second purpose is to suggest
legislation and to secure from the
people OF the state at large ideas
which should be embodied in such
legislation.
Its third object is TO compile rec
ords of officials and to submit them to
fhc MANILA Mt Cfnfnd .tin1Au onH In
general to supervise legislation at
all points in the interests of good
government"
Every legislator who is intent upon
doing the right thing all the time
also should feel kindly toward the
lobby. 1t is well known that bills
are rushed in during the legislative
session in such quantities that it IS
a physical impossibility for each leg
islator to examine them all. In this
way, bills which appear innocent
at a glance, often have something
of vast Importance to some corpora
ton hidden in a carefully worded,
yet obscure clause, so that a senator
or an asseinblyman who really in
tends to do right may favor it. only /
to find that he has voted away vast
privileges which should be held by
the people, or for which the people
should have received ample returns.
UT is TO detect such legislation as
before it is too late that the
rs Lobby has been formed. 1t

bosses and the ring"

Gems from Success,

The object for which we strive tells
the story of our lives.
There are a hundred successful
men for one that is ~contented.
Without economy some a be
rich, and with it non need be poor.
Better believe yourself a Ounce and
work away then q genius and be idle.
The moment others see that money
grabbing is your dominant passion,
then the bud OF your nobility per-
ishes.
For one who cannot thoroughly re-
spect himself the high and abiding
confidence of others is impossible.
A constant struggle. a c~easeless
battle to bring success from i%nhospit-
able surroundings, is the price of all
great achievements.
"There are some people who be-
lieve that the whole human race will
be saved" said an old lady, "but for
my part, l hope for better things"

Menu phis, Tenn, Oct 4.-The
steamer Mississippi with the presi-

We're very good friends" re-
marked the president, as Governor
Curry boarded the Mississippi, and
he repeated the remark as Governor
Frantz climbed aboard.
Governor Curry and the president
chatted very confidentially and there
seems to be the greatest of friend
ship between the two men. Some
time was spent by them in the pres

and when they Joined the party on
deck, the president reiterated his
remark of yesterday that he would
favor statehood for New Mexico
alone and would do all in his power
to secure that boon for the terri

pleased with his interview with the

MINERS ENTOMBED BY
AN EXPLOSION

MANY ESCAPED FROM
SHAFT BADLY HURT

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. Am ex-
plosion of gas or fire damp occur
red in mine number z, owned by
the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail-
road company, at Pratt City this
morning and a cave-in of the roof
followed. -Four miners, including
the bank boss, were caught in the
cave-in and are believed to be dead.
A number of injured men were TAX
en- out of the shaft and removed to
hospitals.
The explosion occurred shortly af-
ter the men went to work this
morning. The gas had probably ac-
cum ulated in some out of the way
place during the night, and when
they entered the mine this morning
their lamps caused the ignition and
explosion.
Number Were Saved.
A large number of miners, who
were some distance away from
the bank boss and the three miners
who are believed to be dead, saw
the flash and dropped out of the way
of the conclusion, but were caught
by falling coal and slate. Their un-
injured comrades dragged them out
and they were pulled out of the
shaft by the crowd which gathered
after the explosion. In this manner
thirty-one men were saved. An ef-
fort to reach the imprisoned men
met with failure. The mine is afire
and there is no likelihood Of their be-
ing alive.

Spokane, Wash, oct. 4.-Routed
by an angry mob, a small party OF
Hindus, who had found shelter in a

their escape from Canada, fed be-
fore a shower of missiles last night
and We're soon back across the line.
A few shots were fired at the tres
passers, but none of them were in

These Hindus were illegally in this
country, as they came in after the
recent riots at Vancouver and other
points In Canada, landing from ships
at Canadian ports and fleeing into
this country for refuge when they
learned the status of affairs in Can
ada. Feeling I'm Washington against

A Sufficient Force of Officials Will
BE Installed to Prevent Willy
Schemes Which Are Now
Being Worked by
Yellow Men.

Portland, Ore, oct. "A special
from Bellingham, Wash, says: "As
a result of the Investigations by G..
L. Babcock, special agent of the
United states treasury department,
sent to Vancouver, b. c., when the
anti-Japanese riots occurred, a force
of federal officials will be installed
at the international boundary line to
keep back the scores of Japanese
who are daily crossing the border
into the United States.
Babcock was sent to Vancouver
from Washington, ID. c., to investi-
gate and report on the immigration
situation, and the result of the riot.
He found that hundreds of Japanese
had illegally crossed the internation-
al boundary and were continuing to
do so.

japanese have come to the United

three months.

"Our public lands. whose highest
use is to supply homes for our peo-
pie, have been and are still being
taken in great quantities by large
private owners, to whom home
making is at the best best but a
secondary motive subordinate to the
desire for profit. To allow the pub
lie lands to be worked by the ten
ants of rich men for the profit of
the landlords, instead of by free
holders for the livelihood of their
wives and children, is little less than
a crime against our people and our
