DOCTRINE OF CONFINEMENT.

A good deal is being said just now
about the doctrine of contentment We
don't know who has inspired the dis
quoted. 1t is said that everybody should
be contented with his lot, that there
should be no growing, no envy, no
jealousy. Do you know there isn't a
great deal IN that sort Of thing. II is
so easy to overdo it. The world would
everybody since the creation had been
contented.
Hogs have been hogs since the world
was young, and the hog is the most
contented animal in existence. A hog
has no ambition. 1t will fight occa-
sionally for food. but it does not engage
in pastimes other animals seem to en-
Joy. Young puppies play with one an
other, romping the livelong day Young
pigs are content to grub in the earth
or snuggle up against their mothers.
Colts run races with one another out
of sheer joy of living Most animals,
indeed, have some recreation and like
IT, Not. so the hog. for the hog is the
incarnation of contentment.
If the colonists had been content this
nation might still be a British colony.
II the worlds great inventors had been
content with the inferior methods of
communicating intelligence, with the
slow methods of transportation, with
crude lighting systems, we would never
have had the telegraph and the tele-
phone, the stage coach and the mean
descent lamp. The automobile would
have been undreamed OF today as il
was a dozen centuries ago. We might,
indeed. be wearing clothes made out of
skins: we might be eating our meat raw
AMI counting our women with war
clubs
Discomfort has been the greatest fac
tor in the worlds progress We do not
mean the discomfort that finds its out
let in peevish, querulous outbursts
against neighbors who are more indus
trious or more fortunate, or the dis
content that quarrels without reason
over conditions that other people are
trying hard 10 remedy. The discomfort
that counts is the discomfort that works
itself out of difficulties. The man who
earns two dollars a day and determines
TO fl himself to earn more is not con-
tented man. But he is usually mighty
good citizen.
We may find satisfaction in our work.
Everybody should try to be satisfied.
But the moment we become contented
we cease TO progress. No mans work
is perfect. We care not how expert he
may be in his particular line. He may
be the best in the world in his industry.

HEIRS APPARENT.

A correspondent wants to know ii
there is any difference between an heir
apparent and an heir presumptive.
There is considerable difference. An
heir apparent, as most people know, is
an heir in the direct line. He cannot
lose his inheritance, IL the estate is en-
tailed or a kingdom is in prospect. ex-
cept by his own death or voluntary re-
linquishment of his rights. There is no
law that can take it away from him.
The expectations of an heir presump-
tive may be defeated by the birth OF a
nearer relative to the ancestor from
whom the estate or the kingdom Is to
come. Thus. if the emperor of Germany
had no male child Prince Henry OF
Prussia would be heir presumptive to
the German throne. AS matters stand,
the crown prince is the heir apparent
and Prince Henry is out of the running.
The child just born 10 King Alfonso
and Queen Victoria of Spain is heir APP
parent to the Spanish throne.

Champ Clark is an orator, but he is
not a rhetorician; he is a debater. but
he is not declaimer. He believes in
facts, but he is not a Gradgrind. 1t

peare twenty years ago and studied him

debate in the house, a partisan debate;

1t was a calamity to history, mis-
fortune to letters, and must ever be a
regret to the children of the Old Com
monwealth, that the late w. c. P.
Breckenridge did not devote the last ten
years of his life to writing a history of
Kentucky. He was the one of her sons
fully equipped for the task. He was ia
miliar with her story as none other was,
as none other will ever be-the story of
her first century. As a writer he was
greater than he was as an orator, and
had he done what he was so often urged
to do, he would have produced a narra-
tive that would have remained a classic
as long as American history exists.
Champ Clark ought TO tell the story
of Missouri. He knows il as no other
man knows il. With a less captivating

PUBLIC WORKS RLuNDERs.

Because Mr.. Moran's friends in the

contract to Mr.. Percival there is no

cadamizing on Second avenue and will
not wait for Percival's pipe to arrive.
If Moran continues his work the pipe

of about $1,000. the roadway will be

traffic that much longer.
II this were a single instance of coun-
ell incompetency the people might be
fairly patient, even IL it does cost them
$4,000 in cash when the city is already
in straits; but it is only the latest of q
series of plumbers that irritate and ex-
asperate the public.
Moran expected to get the pipe con-
tract; he was so sure of it he went east
and bought the pipe before the bids
were opened. OF course. that was a bit
of foresight on his part and in no way
to be censured; but because he did not
get the job and Percival was the low
est bidder, the Moran contingent in the
administration delayed the award and
by that delay have muddied one of the
great Improvements undertaken this
season.
1t is a sample of the unbusinesslike
methods that have made the city ad-
ministration byword among business
men. 1t characterizes fifty the whole

mination to embarrass every other con-

drug TRUST SoUELcHEp.

By the terms OF a perpetual injunc-
ton granted in the United States dis
trict court at Indianapolis on Thursday
the drug trust is apparently put out Of
business permanently. 1t has repeated
ly been denied that such a thing as g
drug trust ever existed. The court
seems to have taken different view OF
was a trust. a combination by which ii
was sought to deprive certain dealers
Of the right to transact business, a
combination that controlled, not only
the selling price TO the retailers, but the
prices the retailers charged to the con-
sumner.
The defendants were the National AS
ISOLATION of Retail Druggists, the Ma
tional Association of Wholesale Drug
gists. Tri-Partite proprietors, Black
'perpetually enjoined from combining
and conspiring to restrain the sale OF
drugs, fix prices by agreement, blacklist
dealers who cut prices, or to refuse tC
sell to any retailer on equal terms. Al
publication of blacklists is forbidden
and all contracts and agreements COW
cred by the charges are declared null
and void"
No more sweeping decision has ever
been handed down by a federal court in
an antitrust proceeding. There will
now be something approaching coInpe-
tition in the drug business. The drug
gist who has been cutting prices will
have the same chance TO purchase
goods as the druggist who has not cut
prices. and the public will be the bene-
ficiary. The trust has been most arbi-
trary in it's dealings. 1t has driven
dozens OF small dealers out of business
by its unfair methods, and the condi-
lions at last became so intolerable that
application for relief was made to the
Uniter States courts. The trust was
strongly entrenched. This is shown by
its fixing of selling prices both to re-
taller and to consumer.
But the case against it was made on,
so clearly that the perpetual injunction
was q matter of course after the evil
dence was all presented. The public
and the independent druggists are en-
titled TO congratulations upon the out
come. The man who buys goods and
pays for them owns them absolutely
and in all equity possesses the right to
sell them at such prices as he himself
fixes. He has the right to give them
away il he desires to do so. and as long
as he pays his bills the manufacturer
or wholesaler has no right to complain
The outcome of this legal BATTLE can
not fail to be an encouragement to the
government officers who are sincere in
their desire to break up the criminal
combinations. They Will have more in
centive than ever to proceed with Their
good work.
