HIGH ErNakcE IN Bosr ,N.

Boston is grooming. She has been living too fast, flying too high. helping posterity too much, etc., etc. So she is now much saddened by her financial situation. It is a sad one. A Finance commission has sadly and yet plainly reported on it. During the last twelve years the city debt has been piling up four times as fast as its wealth, and seven and one-half times as fast as it's population. On Jan. 31, 1907, the real net debt of the city of Boston was not the $6,S61,S59 which figures in the auditors report on that date, but approximately SIP, 900.
 This enormous debt amounts to eight and one-half per cent. of the as- sessors' valuation of property subject to taxation, and to over $1s3 per capi- ta of the estimated population of the year, ie., 610,000. The common im- pression that the debt of Boston is ef- fectually limited by law to two and one-half per cent of the valuation is shown to be entirely erroneous. So much money has been borrowed out side of the debt limit established by the legislature on the basis of valua- tion for taxable purposes, that in the commissions own words, there is in reality an underlying lien on every piece of real estate in the city of Bos- ton, amounting practically to ten per Ieent. of its market value This lien is equivalent to a first mortgage on un-
 encountered real estate, and makes
 every first mortgage now recorded ir
 reality second mortgage" To add tc
 this condition, every dollar represent
 ed by this underlying lien has already
 been spent
 It is evident that Boston has got tc
 be less high in finance if she doesn't
 want to be bankrupt, So have many
 other cities which have been spendine
 easy money easily.

that the influence of the prohibition idea may become more marked. It is noteworthy that the question
 of the regulation of the saloons, if not prohibition, has come to the front in
 England and France at the same time that it has in the United States. At the coming Parliament of Eng'and the
 government is to present a bill that
 will regulate in such way. it is prom ised, as to affect seriously the whole The principle of government supervis- | ion will be extended. Lieutenant Gov ernor Lake, who went abroad the past summer, has observed this quickening of temperance sentiment and is re- ported as saying that the men who are interested in promoting stricter regu- iative measures are not "teetotalers or fanatics, but earnest, thoughtful men" When in such representative coun- tries as the United States. England and France, there is found at the same time the purpose to bring under
 better control the trade in intoxicating
 liquors there must be some common
 cause. The whole contest is an inter-
 esting one and has come about with
 out much warning and in very many localities. In the South especially not
 many were prepared to believe that temperance sentiment, especially of
 prohibition type, was so strong as it is.
 The temperance forces have been get
 ting together and working with a more united front In some sections temper
 ance societies of the Roman Catholic church and societies formed of Protes- tant members are found working to-
 gether for the same end, If the most
 ardent hopes of absolute prohibition
 fsts are not realized, it is certain that
 a disposition for strlcter regulation is
 manifest. On the other hand it is not
 to be expected that the licuor interests
 will be listless in the matter. There
 are too many millions of dollars invest
 ed to permit of it.

(The Norfolk virginian Pilot

(The Norfolk Virginian Pilot.) There is just one little question we would like to ask. It seems to be a pertinent one. If it be impertinent, we beg pardon in advance of all who may be offended; at least the query will, to quote very eminent person, turn on the light.
 Here is the question: If a proper remedy for former stringency in the money market was for Mir Shaw. by authority of the President, to buy in government bonds in advance of their maturity, so putting into circulation currency heretofore idle in the treas- ury--what relief is to be expected from an operation by which MT. Cortelyou issues new bonds by sale to the public and thus transfers money, either now in the banks or in the pockets of the people to the vaults of the treasury? , These are two directly opposite finan- cial transactions. How can they be ex- pected to produce exactly similar re- suits? We ask simply for information and pause for a reply.

The Treasury department has just helped the country, or tried to, and the Agricultural department is also helping the country. One of the fruits of its work is crop of durum wheat this year which is worth thirty mil lion dollars Only few years ago this kind of wheat was brought to this country by the Department of Agricul- ture from Russia and Africa, and it has turned out well. The cost of in- Itroducing 1t was only ten thousand dollars. Millions of bushels of it are now exported and used at home for macaroni and kindred products, for breakfast foods and to mix with other wheat for flour making.
 Such paternalism as shows itself in durum wheat is all right. The Agricul- tural department Is busy one, and though it may do some fantastic
 things it does things that are of great value to the country. It used to be
 sniffed at as not practical" but In recent years it has shown enough prac-
 ticality to much modify the sniffing.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES,
The Spirit of the south.

(The Louisville Evening Post.)
 The southern people welcome capi- tai They offer Inducements to invest |ors. They are laboring faithfully themselves to make money. and arc making it. They are increasing their farm products, are opening new mines, building new mills and searching for new markets. There is in the South little of the spirit of socialism, and on the other hand there Is none of the lspirit that worships wealth or views with awe the airs, oddities and vulgari- l ties of the rich. Further, while ready i to protect property, the southern peo- l pie are not disposed to give the prop erty privileges abused for the oppres sion of men. It Is not believed that corporations created by the State are above the law or that corporations ere | Iated by one State may invade another 1 and recognize no obligations, except te make money.

4 oAPIrA1tsr wtrH CASE.

A farmer who lives Tn Plainville in the eastern part of Massachusetts has become conspicuous during the finan- cial stringency by paying for farm he bought with twenty-five thousand ten-cent pieces. Many years ago he begun to save ten-cent pieces, his set tied purpose being to get enough to- gether to buy farm.
 Of course this fellow was a tight wad" and whatever else people are called who are more prudent than the majority of their fellow citizens. But he has his farm, his self-denial has disciplined him, he has not been a burden on the community and he has now got himself so placed that he doesn't seem likely to be. Of course it would be too much to ask the young men who are spending ten cents day for cigars to save their ten-cent pieces to buy a farm or something else that is valuable. But if there is young man here and there who can see In the example of this Massachusetts economist lesson 1t wont hurt him. A good farm is @ very pleasant help in time of trouble.

LOndOn's CannibaI Birds.
lThe London Globe.l

For years past a hollow elm in Ken- sington Gardens has been occupied ev- cry winter by pair of brown owls. which arrive and leave at about the same time as the blackheaded gulls. They feed on the London sparrows, as Is plainly shown by the relics of the feast at the foot of the tree; and doubtless they find it an easier way of getting their living to snatch up the incauttous sparrow as he sits at roost than to hunt every winter in the open country for birds concealed in the thicket and for field mice. which ln frosty weather are generally safely asleep. Besides such regular visitors as gulls, owls and earrion crows there are many other birds which wander into London during spells of hard weather and vanish again in the thaw.

It appears there is no punishment for biting, so they took this method of inhicting castigation on the mandarin; had they beaten or struck the officer they would have been subject to punishment by the government.

The American Israelite, in an arti- cle against the division of the public school fund, takes sides against Bish-
 op McFaul of Trenton and says "It is
 the duty, however, of that portion of
 the American people who believe that lit is the province of the Church and
 the home to teach religion and of the
 public schools to give secular educa- ton only to see to 1t that the moneys
 raised by general taxation for public Ischool purposes. are not diverted to any other uses, and least of all to that Of making propaganda for any partic- ular religious denomination. Every advocate of any division of the public schools fund or of the introduction od religious exercises in the public schools, however honest his own belief l in his good intentions may be, is their enemy, an enemy of American institu- 1 tions and an enemy of the American
 Republic."
