ABOLISH ALL PASSES.
Otherwise Test Of Missouri Rate Law
Will Be Unfair.

Kansas City, June 29.-Herbert S.
Hadley, attorney general of Missouri,
has requested all the railroads in this
state to cancel the thousands of state
passes o in the hands of persons
other than railroad employees, so the
three months test of the 2-cent law
recently ordered by Federal Judge Nc
Pherson may be a fair one. In letters
received by the attorneys here Of Mis-
souri, railroads Mr.. Hadley says if
these passes continue in force no true
estimate of the workings of the 2-cent
law can be made. There is no anti

Gett;uo Rid of Moths,

When fighting moths in a room or
closet. try burning gum camphor.
The windows and doors Of the room
should be closed and all the bureau
or closet drawers left open. The
smoke should be allowed to remain
in the room about an hour, after
which time the room may be thor
oughly aired.
After every possible precaution
against moths has been taken in a
closet where woolen goods are to be
stored for the summer leave piece
of red flannel in the middle of the
floor. Moths are said to have an
especial tondness for this tidbit of
moth diet, and if any intruders re-
main they will choose it in prefer
ence to the garments on the shelves.
The trap, of course, should be
watched and burned if moths are
discovered in it.

THE PROGRESS.

An Overlooked Island Which Some Ma
ton Should Control.
Because no nation has as yet as
sumed control of SpitZbergen the game
there is being eXterminated. And incl
dentally some opportunities in mining
are being overlooked by the world The
United States consul general at Christi
ania, Henry BOrdewich, writes: Game,
such as reindeer, polar bears, ptarmi-
gan, geese, ducks and other birds, is
still fairly plentiful in the Islands, but
as no one is in control the animals are
being wantonly eXterminated being
killed at all seasons of the year. One
of the visitors up there last summer re-
ports that party Of tourists killed up
ward of hundred reindeer, leaving
the carcasses where they fell, only
bringing away with them few of the
finest heads and antlers for mounting.
The elder duck is so tame while hatch
ing that it often may be lifted by hand
while the nest is robbed of down aud
eggs. In Norway stringent laws have
been enacted in protection of this val
liable and graceful bird. The WalruS
by this time is nearly extinct; the
white whale, which formerly was very
abundant, is becoming scarce. and the
numbers Of seals are largely reduced.
mo nation has as yet taken posses
sion. 1t would seem high time for the
countries most directly interested to
come to an understanding whereby the
islands, including Bear island, can be
formally turned over for annexation to
one certain power, or else Il combina-
ton Of the powers should make ar
rangementS whereby law and order
could be maintained, game and fishery
laws made and enforced and mining
claims protected The prospect for
paying coal mining Is good. and the
claim is made that indications of val
uaDle minerals are present. Tourist
steamers of different nationalities visit
the islands every season.
THE climate is quite fair, consider
ing the high latitude. \ clear sky Is
said TO prevail week after week in the
summer season. The warmeSt part of
the year is the first half of August,

ment and be a party to any old
sort of harmony. Secretary Taft
said all he wanted was harmony,
and even Senator Foraker said
he would like a little harmony in
his, too. But it developed on
further inspection that what they
all wanted was different brands
of harmony. Senator Foraker
said that on consideration, he
found the sort of harmony he
was expected to be a party to
would involve an easy chair and
a cooling drink in some retired
spot where the turmoil of public
life would not disturb him. This
was not what he wanted. Rest
was not what he was after, he
only wanted recreation. Boss
Cox said he spoke only for him
self, just the way he has usually
worked when there was any,
thing doing. And Secretary
Taft, who has not been saying
much, found that the harmony
program was off and has contin-
ued to maintain a discrete silence.
1t will be war to the knife till the
elections in Ohio a year hence.
1t will mean from present ap-
pearances the political death of
Senator Foraker or the extinction
of Mr.. Taft's presidential pros
poets. If it results in divorcing
the Taft forces from the alliance
with Mr.. Cox, there will not be
much cause for regret. The rec
ord made by the boss of Cincin-
natl while effective in practical
politics, is not enviable from an
ethical standpoint. 1t is to be
hoped that a truce may be ar
ranged within the state party,
but the sort of a peace that was
promised was a little worse than
war,

East Side Leisure In New York.

East side leisure Is a New York mys-
terry. Resides the hosts of the unem-
piOyed that crowd the public squares
when the weather gets warm there are
hundreds and perhaps thousands that
lounge at all hours Of the day in the
cafes, beer saloons and vein stuben,
where they must pay for what they eat
and drink In order to obtain the priv
ilege OF iOunging. In the very poorest
quarters men who 10y their appearance
must have little to spend play back
gammOn, cards or chess, read the
comic papers or merely dozs bstWeR9
drinks tI al drinking places.
Nobody can account for all this leis,
ure. Some of those who lounge In ths
places Of public resort by day probably
work at night. Others belong to that
considerable class of persons on the
east side who earn their living by de-
yiops ways Of one sort or another and
meet tbRlr clients or their victims in
the sRto0Rs oF cafes. Still others are
superannuated meg wha are supported
after some fashion by theiV children.
But there always is an unexplainsd
csstduum. .-New York Sun.

Modern society, doubtless,
makes a mistake in not finding
something for idle women to do.
The idle woman is the menace of
latter-day civilization. 1t is tol-
erably certain that there are more
busy women and more idle wom-
en- in this country than were ever
before assembled under one flag.
The idle would like to find some
thing to do. They turn in their
ennui to bridge whist, to amateur
philanthropy, to church-sociable
charity, to visiting and gossip.
The old story that Satan will
find some mischief still for idle
hands to do" is daily exemplified
here. The Catholic church in it's
wisdom uniforms hundreds of it's
adult female children and sets
them to work nursing the sick,
teaching the young, and at other
more or less useful employments.
but there are millions within and
without the churches who are
living under the distracting bur
den of idleness. 1t is a malady
of modern high pressure civiIiza
tion. Only percentage of wo-
men can be married and rear
children, and not all who have
these opportunities will improve
them or take care of their chill
dren. There is something rad
ically wrong in a civilization that
has so many bars to motherhood,
the crown of Woman's existence.
