ONE MORE.

There are. it appears. more ways to live long in the land than by hon. bring thy father and thy mother. Smoking excessively seems to be a pretty good way to live to be hun dred or more. The continuous, or closely consecutive, drinking of poor rum is another way, Smoking and drinking combined will do the desired good in some cases. Regular over-eat- ing at night can also be recommended. Those who haven't full faith in either of these ways may perhaps take to the way commended by ninety-two- year-old man named Bourne, of Clare mont Texas. He says the elixir of life is nothing but clay dissolved in hot water. and by drinking three glassfu1s day he hopes 10 live to be 3OO
 Good luck to Brother Bourne. A drink composed of clay and hot water seems to be quite as sensible as a drink composed of blended whisky and hot or cold water. If Brother Bourne lives to say T told you SO he will be well entitled to say it.

SUN WoRsHIP.

A good many people in this Christian region were able to at least dimly un- derstand some of the attractions of sun-worship when they woke yesterday morning to see the sun shining as gen. erously and gloriously as 1t had been shining behind the clouds which were concealing it's generosity and it's glory from the eyes of people around here. Didn't it look good? Good enough to confirm the cheering belief that every cloud has a silver lining, and that 1t will always pay Nellie to wait till the sun shines.
 Of course we can't worship the sun. We know too much for that. even if some of us do continue to worship cats, dogs and other things. But we can re- iolce in it's good gifts and hope for more, after the manner of the sun-wor- shippers, without danger of becoming heather, as they are. They might ac- cuse us of selfish ingratitude, but their accusation wouldn't stick. Our grati- tude may be little more vague than theirs is, but it is gratitude all the same

IN IACONG RUTTY,

Of course a great movement like the eight-hour movement can't be stopped, or even made to hesitate, by incongruties, however numerous or in- congruous they are. But it is inter- esting to notice some of them. For instance, the one which has just crop ped out in Massachusetts, in conse- quence of a law passed by the General Court and approved by the Governor forbldding any State or city official, under penalty of fine of fifty dollars, from requiring or even requesting an employe in his department to work more than eight hours a day. The consequent increase in the cost of public work might be regarded by the Commonwealth, of course, as suffici- ently balanced by other considerations
 But it seems that In many cases where eight-hour shifts are impracti. cable or there is a scarcity of labor it is almost impossible to get the work done at all. The filter plant of the Springfield Water department is al Ludlow, and the men, who are paid by the hour cannot afford to go back and forth for eight hours day. They want to work more hours, and some ot the wise think it possible that they can legally do so by requesting" to be al- lowed to- They can't legally be re- quested, but perhaps they can request If they should request, and their re- quest should be granted, perhaps theil success would only call attention tc the need of an amendment to the ex- isting law providing that nobody ear
 be requested, or request, to work more than eight hours 6 day.

Enx ND HnM1N.

The prolonged controversy between George L. Fox of this city and State Senator Homan, in which the former charged before the legislature that the latter indulged in offenses against the corrupt practices act which should de- prive him of his seat, has been set tied by committee of the senate di- rected to consider the case. In the opinion of the committee the offenses, if they were offenses, were not of q character to justify Senator Homan's removal from the senate.
 We do not refer to this case at this time for the purpose of discussing any of the features brought out in the hearing, but to commend MT. Fox for his public spirited interest in the en- forcement of a law which he was largely. instrumental in having enact ed Fortunately for him, there is no question whatever of local ordinances and liquor laws having been violated on election day last November, but there does appear to be a debatable question whether such violations come within the consideration of the state senate. What Mir. Fox did was to ex- haust his remedies, not to punish Sen ator Homan for actual or fancied mis- demeanors, but to test the corrupt practices act,
 It was not work that the average man either cares to undertake, or is willing to, even when the evils con- plained of are real and pressing. It is the kind of useful work, however, the late Henry L. Goodwin used to do be- fore the legislative committee on rail- roads, and which won him when he died the enthusiastic approval of ev- cry right thinking man. If there were more such men in every Connecticut town and city there would be fewer complaints registered against local government, MT. Fox failed only in his inability to produce the results he desired. As ah earnest citizen he has added to the good repute in which he l is held.

The Hawaiian Gazette credits the legislature of the islands with having done well during. 1907 "The last im- portant acts of the legislature were to pass the municipal bill and sustain the Governors veto of the Grab bill. We arc no more persuaded than formerly that Honolulu or the Territory needs more government, but as that policy has been adopted by the majority there is little left to say. As for the Grab bill that was the one measure redolent of graft to which the legisla- ture had, perhaps reluctantly, commit ted itself, but the Senate has made proper reparation in the final vote"

GENfRA1 nUr1En,S NOTION

The talk concerning nominees for President waxes in warmth and de- Influences. For instance, General M. c. Butler, ex-Unlted States Senator from South Carolina, thinks that George Gray of Delaware would be able to defeat any man the Ropubli- cans could name for President, as matters now stand, and gives the fol- lowing reasons for the belief: "(D Be- cause he is gentleman of high, un- impeachable character; @ because he is a Democrat; (3) because he is a man of commanding talents, strong intel lectuality, a great lawyer; D because he is man of affairs, well equipped from long and honorable experience in public life"
 But have the Democrats shown any signs of wanting such man as that?

The Boston Herald proudly says that Kuroki was afflicted with no long orations. while the potatlons were such as not to interfere with the joy or dignity of the festivities. This Is rather surprising. Long orations would naturally be expected of Boston, while injudicious potations would be so little expected that it seems in- .coneruous to have them even mem toned.

The Russian government has passed a bill providing for the purchase of 100000 rubles' worth of agricultural machinery and implements. Imports of agricultural machinery into Russia have of late increased, particularly in mowers, feapers, blows, cultivators, seeders. harvesters and binders. This Is another American opportunity. Duty rates on American farm machinery into Russia were largely decreased about year ago, soon after the treaty of Portsmouth was signed.

Big Fork Compass: Pat Rus
sell, the well-known Bemidji at

speciality, was here Frid ay night
on business. He says settlers
will be very foolish to go to Cass
Lake when the new towns open,
when they can stay on their
claims and file before a land com.
missioner. Possession of the
land is nine oints Of the law, he
says, and the fellows who join
land rushes on opening days are
usually settlers who are afraid
they cannot make good, if they
are contested. The law gives a
settler 90 days in which to file
after a town opens, and an honest
settler shows poor Judgment to
to get mixed up in a land rush,
where serious blunders are
bound to occur, when he can
make his filings with care and
peace liz his home town.
