1 CHEERING CRANGr.

Now that clans, Holsters and other small fry of the sea are getting scarce, it is cheering to read that whales, the biggest inhabitants of the sea, are plenty The news comes from the Arctic that never before were whales so plentiful there as now. Thousands of them have been seen and the whalers are coming home with big catches.
 This indicates how things change. Awhile ago there were hardly whales enough to pay for going after them. It is the same way now in the Wall street water with that kind of fish known as "the sucker It is so scarce and wary that there isn't much use fishing for it. But this condition will doubtless change, and even as the Arc tic sea swarms with whales so will the Wall street water swarm with
 suckers" Then all will be joy and liveliness where now is gloom and dull ness.

AN ALABAMA EPISODE.

Perhaps that Mobile rum episode merits more attention than it has re- ceived, Distinguished women of Mo- bile went to Montgomery to oppose prohibition legislation pending before the Alabama legislature. Among them was a daughter of the late Admiral Semmes of the late Confederate navy and Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson, au- thor of "St. Elmo" and otiier well known novels. In Mobile the whlskey revenues are devoted solely to the public schools. The city receives from the saloons $S0,o00 annually, and the county S150,000 besides. One of the best school systems in the country has been built up out of the license fees, and the sudden transition to the pro- hibition system will leave the schools temporarily at least without adequate support. The women, deeply interested | in the schools, urged that the new law should not go into effect until 1910, so that opportunity to provide other means for the sustenance of the schools might be afforded, as the im- mediate levying of direct tax yield ing $230,O0O would necessarily work great hardship. We suppose the advocates of prohi-
 bition would call the attitude of the
 Mobile women "a compromise witt
 evil" or something worse. They have
 certainly created an interesting situa
 ton for themselves. Probably Mobile
 will continue to have schools.

KNOWLEDGE IN MINNESOTA.

The people of Minnesota know something that is perhaps not general ly known in other parts of the coun- try. They know when an automobile is stopped and they have been told by the Supreme court of the State, A motorist in Mower county, Minnesota, got the signal to stop, and merely dis connected his motor, leaving it to run while the machine waited. A runaway resulted and the auto driver later ap- pealed from a S7O0 damage verdict
 The lower court held that upon the signal the operator must stop not only ilocomotion, but the automobile and all it's works. The Supreme court doesn't see it that way. Under the decision the vehicle is stopped when it ceases to
 make progress on the road. The Min
 nesota law in the case made and pro- |vided says: '"The operator of any such vehicle (automobile or motor cycle) propelled upon any public highway
 shall stop the same on signal from
 any person driving horses or mules on

holding office, but we question 1t. That system must be the best for a given locality which has no political prob .lems to deal with, that offers the larg- est attractions for the competent man and simplifes most the duty of the citi- zens.
 The concentration of practically all power into the hands of the mayor, which has been the answer of the en- thusiastic advocates of the municipali- ty to the complaints of dissatisfaction, has been successful only in adding to the power of a political machine. In the broad sense of improved govern ment it has accomplished little or nothing, unless we are content to make the comparison of what we have with that miserable scheme of -partisanship which was abandoned because 1t bred worse diseases of its own. The Texas and Iowa plans of government by commission are &C., complaining excellent educational re- suits in the science of local govern ment, but we shall be surprised if eventually it is not found that after all they are but the handmaidens of the municipal system in leading the people away from government delusion and snare.

4 DESIRABLE CITIZEN.

There are always a great many de- sirable citizens in this country. One of them has just died in Linton, Indi- ana. He was Mr James Oppershaw, and he didn't believe in celibacy, race suicide, divorce and the other things that seem to have been growing popu- lar lately. When MT. Oppenshaw not ed the marriage of a young couple in Linton he would ask if they needed help in setting up housekeeping, They generally did, and he helped in fur nishing fully twenty-five homes. He would back the credit of the young people at the house furnishing stores. and a few days before his death Mfr Oppenshaw declared that he had nev- CT lost anything because of his philan- thropy.
 To help in making twenty-five homes comfortable is worthy achievement. Some of the stores which furnish homes might with pro- priety set up a claim that they are great helps in home-maling, as they are. But Mir. Oppenshaw wasn't a store. He was just an original, kindly man.

thousand years from now. Chile is the only country in the world in which such deposits of saltpetre are found. They are for the most part owned by Germans and Englishmen. The Ger mans are the most heavily interested, with the English next. Most of the saltpetre is exported to Hamburg, while some of it goes to Liverpool. The Chilean government derives a large amount of revenue from this ex- port trade, as a duty of about two shilling ton is exacted on all that is sent out The revenue amounts to eighty or ninety millions each year.

Spending Public Money.
(The ohio State Journal. )

(The Ohio State JournaL)
 There is way of attending to this duty of requiring economy on the part ot an officer, and that Is to watch pub. lie expenditure, and whenever you see man down and vote against him when he comes up again. That is the patriotic way of doing this thing, If you don't do 1t, that officers assumption that you are unconcerned or ignorant Is realized Somehow or other, 1t has be- come an idea that the officer who votes Tor spends the public money gets 1t from somewhere, nobody knows where, and when 1t Is spent nobody cares how. But the fact is that every dollar of this money loosely spent is taken from the home of the producer and from the ta- ble Of the workingman. He who per- mits this thing to go on consents sim | ply to being imposed upon.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
Too Many Agitators.
(The American Hebrew.l

t4nG AillCIlCdll 4Ob1OW'(
 The arrival of so many Russian agi tators on the East side is not an un- mixed blessing, though it serves to maintain the intellectual ferment, which seems to be so characteristic of that portion of the city. The agitaters come from the hotbed of inhammatory revolt; they are full of indignation and revolution; they are not competent to speak dispassionately of the events they have witnessed. The effect of their harangues upon the newcomers in New York is deleterious to a degree. In- stead of being left alone to work out their economic salvation, and to prepare to become valuable members of American life, their thoughts stray to the land of oppression which they have left, and all their civic indigna- |tion has a foreign aim. Their literat- ure is the literature of the Russian revolution; their economic problems are the problems of the Pale of Settlement and the agrarian districts of Russia their radicalism is the radicalism of extreme conditions. It is not surpris- ing that, when they look about and see what Americans are doing, they are struck by the even calm that prevails, and they become radicals in American politicS also,

NOT READY FOR cosscRrrrrox.

NOT READY FOR CONSCRIPTION.
 The Adjutant General of the United States army is much concerned over the lack of attraction which army life seems to have for the free and inde- pendent citizen of this great and glori- ous country. He points out that while a year ago the enlisted strength of the army was more than 5000 be- low the requirements of law, the de- ficiency has now more than doubled, and amounts to 20,535. General Aims worth sees only two methods to fill up the depleted ranks, He points out that the government, in it's demand for re- cruits, is competing with private em- ployers, who offer inducements far be- yond what the nation has to give. 'If present conditions continue" adds General Ainsworth, there will be nothing for the government to do but to meet this competition by material ly increasing the soldiers pay, or to evade competition altogether by re- sort to conscription.
 It has been pleasantly true for the last few years that a man in this coun- try hasn't been obliged to enlist in the army to get good nving, and it may continue to be true, though there are those who think that for awhile men will be much more numerous than jobs. But even If they are not this country isn't quite ready for a military system which includes conscription.
