City and Its Milk Supply.

1t Is remarkable that, with all the
excitement concerning pure food laws,
which has stirred our wide expanse OF
territory during the last year, so little
attention should have been given to
the food of the child. We hear of
laws to provide inspection for meat,
laws to control the sale of drugs, laws
to regulate the movement and inspec-
tion of vegetable products, but not
one of all these important movements
has to do with a substance so likely
TO cause widespread death, or to act
as a carrier of disease, as the one we
are discussing here. Most of the foods
are cooked. Milk is served raw. Most
of the foods are limited in the scope
of their distribution. Milk enters
every household. Most of the foods
give comparatively little Judgment or
nutrition to evil bacteria. Milk offers
both. Can there be any greater mu-
nicipal necessity than proper milk
laws properly enforced? asks Hollis
Godfrey in the Atlantic Monthly.
Strange to say, the little street of the
Azores, or the mountain village OF
Northern Italy, feeds its children bet
ter than we feed our own. Smelling
to heaven though these little towns
may be, with cutters running with
sewage, with walls and barns falling
in dirty picturesque decay, their com
mon milk supply is superior to that
furnished even to the better class of
orr American cities.

Judue Parker Is Out.

In an interview Judge Alton B. Park

desire ever again to hold public office,
and in this respect his views have not
changed since his defeat for the presi-

European armies blaze with decora-
lions and orders of merit. 1t is con-
trary to the spirit of this country to
give official sanction to arbitrary
ranks and distinctions apart from the
regular grades of service and special
recognitions of merit given by con-
gress. But there is at least one order
of American officers which congress
has recognized to the extent of per-
hitting the members to wear the
badge with their uniform on proper
occasions. This is the Order of the
Dragon, which was established by
commissioned officers of the army at
Peking in 1900. The members are
commissioned officers of the Ameri-
can army and navy who served in
China during the Boxer troubles, and
there are honorary members from
other armies and navies which took
part in the campaign of the allies. The
society is in some ways similar to the
Order of the Cincinnati founded by
French and American officers at the
close of the American revolution, the
object of which was to perpetual
friendships formed during the war.

ThaW Is Milder.

A plea of temporary insanity from
which his client has fully recovered,
and so far as possible an utter alb
sence of sensationalism will be the
method pursued by Martin w. Little

That has been fully decided on by the
former Brooklyn borough president,
who is to have complete charge of the
defense of the Pittsburg millionaire.
Littleton will not have the trouble
with Thaw that the other attorneys
have had. The long, weary confine-
ment is having it's effect and the
headstrong young man is more amen.

CHAPTER *.

The governing committee was hold
ing a meeting in its room. Bob rush
ed in unceremoniously.
lone word, gentlemen" he called
Il have more trades outstanding, botf
buys and sells, than any other mem
ber or house. Before deciding whether
to adjourn in an attempt to save the
Street 1 asked your consideration Of
this proposition: If the exchange VIII
suspend operations for 80 minutes
and allow me to address the MEM
bers on the floor, I will agree to buy
stocks all around the room, until they
have regained at least half their drop
all of it, II possible. l will buy un-
til l have exhausted to the last hum
dred my fortune Of a billion dollars
This should make an adjournment un-
necessary. I know that this is most
extraordinary request, but you are
confronted with a most extraordinary
situation, the most remarkable In the
history Of the stock exchange. AL
ready, If what they say on the floor
is correct over 200 banks and trust
companies throughout the country
have gone under, and new failures
are being announced every minute.
Half the members Of this and the
Boston and Philadelphia exchanges
are insolvent and have closed their
doors, or will close them before three
o'clock, and the shrinkage in values
so far reported runs over fifteen bill
lions. Unless something Is done be-
fore the close, there will be a similar
panic in every exchange and bourse
in Europe tomorrow"
The committee instantly voted to
lay the proposition before the full
board. In another minute the presi-
dents gavel sounded, and the floor
was still as a tomb. All eyes were
fixed on the president. Every man
in that great throng knew that upon
the announcement they were about to
hear, might depend, at least tenn
porarily, the welfare, not only OF

THE DANCE.
As Il Is Out In Paw Paw Kansas.

As Il Is Out In Paw Paw Kansas.
I'VE attended the fine dance given
by the local lodge Of Sons and Daugh-
ters of Sunlight last night" says the
Paw Paw Bazoo, "and we had a nice
time stepping around the hall with
,ady or two hugged to our manly
breast. It was a delightful ball, no
doubt, but where Is there anything IN
the world that cannot be criticised?
Now, last night 1t might have been
better had the boys in the band been
less full Of tanglefoot than they were.
We don't care what you say, no bass
horn player can grunt pleasant music
on his horn when he's got load OF Eo
Bramley's rye under his belt and no
bass drummer can keep good time ror
circling about with your LADY when
he's so loaded he can't hit the drum.
OF course, there are no personalities
in this, but let US suggest that the mute
players put the right end OF the nutes
in their mouths hereafter, lest they
spoil the tunes, as they did last night,
unofficially. The snare drummer was
fine, he having lost his drum when
half drunk, and the two cometlsts
certainly smeared glory all over them
selves being indeed almost sober, yet
insidiously in need Of practice. The
alto horn was fine, but 1t is rather OBJ
streperous to try to dance to the ump
pah pah music Of an alto when the
other horns are constantly interfering
with bad notes. However, the dance
was fine, even though Hump Brisby
did fall on his sitting posture in one
two-step with his slippery feet, max
ing Henry Gaines laugh too loud for
gentleman. Another thing, why does
George Devlin spit on the floor at a
ball; does any one know? These, OUT
side of the drunken fight between Hep
Leslie and Martin Hart, which brought
on many rather vile exclamations from
them, were all that could be criticised
at the dance. It certainly was fine
affair and society was there and
wrestled each other around with smil-
ing faces. Let us repeat 1t SOON

Exchange:
"The governing committee instructs
me to say that Mr.. Robert Brownley
has asked that operations be suspend
ed for 80 minutes, in order that he be
allowed to address you. Mr.. Brown
ley has agreed. If this request be
granted, he will upon resumption OF
operations purchase sufhclent
amount of stock to raise the average
price of all active shares at least one
half their total drop-all Of 1t, If pos
sible. He agrees to buy to the limit
of his fortune Of a billion dollars.
now put Mr.. Brownley's request to a
vote. All those in favor Of granting
it will signify the same by saying
Yes"
A mighty roof lifting "Yes" sounded
through the room.
"All those opposed, No"
There was a deathly hush.
"Mr. Brownley will please speak
from this platform. and remember, In
80 minutes to the second, l will sound
the gavel for the resumption Of busi-
ness"
Bob Brownley strode to the place
just vacated by the president. The
crowd was growing larger every min
ute. The ticker was already kissing

situation in brokerage shops, hotels
and banks throughout the country
and in few minutes the news OF II

Never before in history did man have
such an audience-the whole civilized

round the exchange the hoarse bel

The Importance of Cotton.

Since 1900 the value Of the south's
AGRICULTURAL products has been in
creased to at least $4,000, 100000, the
advance between 1900 and 1906 OF
$3.50 ,OOO, 900 being more than $2,000,-
OOO, 900 greater than the advance In
the preceding two years. The impor-
tance to the south Of the higher price
of cotton ruling since 1900 and 1901 Is
indicated in the fact that the crop OF
1S9S-s9 Of 11,275,OOO bales. was worth,
including seed, about $332,00O,0OO,
while the crop of 1906-1907 will aggre-
gate in value s75O,O00,000 or more. 1t
is true that this years crop Will ex-
eel that Of 1SS9-90 by probably $780,
900 bales, but at the prices then pre-
vailing this difference in yield would
have made a difference of only about
$65, 900, 900. The real difference due to
the higher price will be nearly or quite
S42O, 900 0OO While 1t is conservative
to put the total for this year at $780,
OO0, 900, 1t is quite within the range
of possibility that when the final
rounding-up has been made the real
value of this seasons crop will prove
to have been not less than about $780,

RURAL POLICE.
A System That Might Be Established
With Advantage.

Newberry Herald and News:
The report of the grand jury for
Richland county contains the follow
ing paragraph:
THAT we the grand jury, desire that
they carefully consider the pressing
needs OF a mounted county police SER
vice and make such recommendations
as will promote the Inauguration OF
such police protection"
We think their recommendation is
good one, and in fact at the last ses-
sion Of the legislature we introduced
a bill providing for a rural police
throughout the state. The bill was
held up pending some other legisla-
ton, and final action was not taken on
the other matters until too late to have
this bill considered, and in fact 1t
would have been necessary to make
some changes in 1t. The bill was con-
tinued and will come up among second
reading bills at the next session OF
the legislature.
In order to get data on the subject
and the working Of such a system In
other states we wrote letters to all OF
the governors in the United States,
requesting a copy Of laws pertaining
to rural police in their states. To our
surprise we learned that there Is no
system Of rural police in any state In
the union. In Georgia q member OF
the legislature had a bill providing for
a patrol system, which was the near
est to a system Of rural police Of any
state so far as the information we OBJ
tanned in reply to our letters. We are
glad to see the grand jury Of Richland
recommending something Of the kind,
and we hope to get our bill in such
shape at the next session that we
may be able to get some legislation
along this line.
There is a system of rural mounted
police in the county Of Charleston, and
we are informed by Sheriff Martin
that 1t works remarkably well in that
county.
Our idea was to have the rural po-
lice in every county and so organized
that in the event the assistance Of q
police from one county should be
needed for another 1t could be obtain
ed promptly and without delay. There
is no doubt in our mind that such a
system Is needed, and while we could
not have a sufficient number to cover
the county thoroughly, yet the very
fact that there was mounted police
in each county and no one knowing
Just what part Of the county the po-
lice would be at any one time, would
act as a restraint 10 the violation OF
law. Such a sys 9m could take the
place of the constables specially ap-
pointed to look after the enforcement
Of the law against the Illicit sale Of
whisky, and while they could be espe-
cially charged with this duty, they
could also have general supervision Of
the enforcement Of all laws, and as our
bill provides that they shall be under
the direction of the sheriff, we believe
they could be used to very great ad-
vantage for the protection Of those Of
our citizens who live in the rural COM
munities
