war II is only being used to delay

lnasmuch as war is inevitable, It Is
to be hoped that the individual who
is responsible for this damnable bit

that we have better navy than
Russia had but we must not wait for

one of our Washington diplomats

The great and go0d Abraham Lin

patriotic support: and thereby pro
ionged the Civil War until 1864: ap.

the great and good Lincoln, to the
Presidency. He said 1T is not

rot best TO change Presidents. while

The great and good Mckinley pro
longed the war in the Philippine,

the purpose of insuring the re-eIec-

TWO NEW LAWS.

Among the laws that went into operation on
the first day of the present year, and that are OF
vital interest to the whole people, are the pure
food and the free alcohol enactments. Some time
must necessarily elapse before the beneficial effects
of these long-desired laws will become generally
observable.
The pure food law will not, of course, enforce
itself any than will any other statute, and
the government machinery essential TO its effective
enforcement is not yet ready. 1t is probable also
that there are on hand in the various communities
large stocks of products that were not prepared in
accordance with the provisions of this law, and
which dealers will attempt to work off upon the
public in advance of the appearance OF the gov
ernment inspectors.
For the present, therefore, the most that can
be hoped from the pure food law is its moral effect,
which will perhaps lead conscientious dealers to
observe its provisions to the extent that they are
understood by them.
Not much denatured alcohol is likely TO be put
on the market in New England for some time to
come. Few permits TO manufacture it have been
applied for while the restrictions surrounding its
production are so many and so heavy as TO require
large labor and money outlays before the industry
can be established
However, both these laws in the interest
OF the people and from them will come ultimately
a great measure OF public benefit.

PERPETUAL LIFE.

member OF the French Academy of Sciences
claims to have made discovery that points to the
possibility of an indefinite prolongation OF human
life. This particular process is that OF restoring
and preserving the vitality of the arteries.
According to this French scientist most peo-
pie die of schrosis OF the arteries, that is, hard
ening of the walls Of those blood vessels, which
comes with advancing age rendering them unfit to
perform their normal functions in aiding the circu-
aton and thus imposing greater strain upon the
heart
His claim is that he can revivify the arteries
by electrical treatment and render them as sound
and responsive as ever, which means that he can
set the vital machinery of old age at work with all
the energy it possessed in youth
1t is familiar pathological saying that a man
is as old as his arteries While the arteries resist
deterioration in the elasticity of their walls the man
retains his soundness. SO with all the enthusiasm
of his race the French academcian proclaims that
there is mo longer any internal reason tor growing
old or even for dying.
There is no danger that the Frenchmans as
surance and enthusiasm will be shared by any con-
siderable number of his. fellow men I; but assuming
he could accomplish what he claims he can, how
MANY would avail themselves Of his discovery {!
Then too, what an uncomfortably crowded world
this would become il universal use were made OF 1t.

ed its functions admirably. Measures of public
benefit could not pass through a mesh securely
plugged by the boss orders but the former chair
man and present speaker TO it that no plugs
obstructed the passage of bills, however mischiev-
Gus, that with the approval of the boss.
Perhaps the most significant development OF
the debate the fear of publicity manifested by
the majority. So afrighted is it at the prospect of
public scrutiny of the methods of its committees
that it refused even to permit half hours debate
on resolution calling for the return of measure
to the house.
Partisan spirit and arrant poltroonery prompt
ed this denial, and the public in its own inexorabe
way and in its own good time will visit upon the
supporters of gag rule and secret suppression OF
worthy measures the chastsement their narrow
ness and cowardice deserve.
