CORPORAL THNd OCEAN cry ere. HTc.

Over in Wall street they are talking about the new policy"
toward corporations that President Roosevelt is going to announce
in a speech next week. Those who believe any such stuff must
be defcient in intelligence or else they have ceased to use their
thinking and reasoning powers. How can he have any new
policy without stu1tifying himself and going back on all the
principles for which he has been lighting ever since he entered
public life He stands for obedience to the law and for rea-
sonable regulation of railroad and other corporations. If, by
some inconceivab1e metamorphosis, he should reverse his attitude,
others would have to take up the fight in his place. But there
is no likelihood of that happening.

Good Enect oil Pure Meat LAW.

That notion that American canned meats
were falling into disfavor may as well be
dismissed. Official figures from WASH
ington show that there is a marked in
crease in the sales of these products,
and the opinion is expressed that this is
permanent. The shipments from Chicago
in July were S,979,6OO pounds, which is
moe than a million pounds in excess of
the shipments for the same month in
1905. the highest point reached previously.
Total shipments of all packing house
products were much greater than for the
same period in 1906. The laws which as
sure purity n excellence are having
their effect.-Troy Times.

One Result of Telegraph strike.

One of the first results Of the telegraph
ers' strike giving evidence of permanent
value is the establishment of a school by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for
the education of telegraph operators. This
school will be opened at once in Bedford,
Pa, and classes are already being formed
under competent teachers. A great rail-
road cannot afford to run the risk of be-
ing crippled by a telegraphers' strike, and
the necessity of establishing a reserve
force of employees capable of handling a
telegraphio key Is made evident by the
present trike.-Philadelphia Telegraph.

Unless the Legislature adiourns before election day, or
Counselor Backes finishes up his probing, President Squires, of
the Railway Reformatory, may not be able to come home to
vote.-Trenton Times.
That's a striking example of how one may unintentonany
create a wrong impression. Thoughtess readers might infer from
that paragraph that ex-Assemblyman Squires is lodging the
Investigating Committee, when we all know that he is just
yearning for an opportunity to have spread upon the records a
history of his unse1fsh, devoted and unrewarded 1abos in behalf
of the institution. George is an undiluted patriot if there ever
was me, and if asked he may confirm this statement.

Ambitious Chicago.

Chicago hides her diminished head, and
owns that during the past year her popu-
lation was increased by only $500. The
ideals established by municipal pride are
not Chicago's, and will not be till she has
double-decked L roads on every street,
penny tubes two to a block, and people so
thick in the streets that horses and auto
mobiles will have become obsolete. Then,
indeed, might Chicago rub herself on the
chest and declaim her m~agnihcence to the
world.-Brooklyn Eagle.

If the State campaign in New Jersey should open with both

against him in that respect.

Ocean City is a model camp-meeting community. 1t is
situated on an island in Cape May County and is connected
by trolley with Atlantic City. Besides its other numerous points
of attraction it serves as a contrast to its worldly neighbor,
where the pursuit of gayety, recreation and amusement is the
chief end and aim of the thousands of visitors. Those who get
tired of Atlantic Ciys worldiness may, within a half hour or
SO, transport themselves to the quiet precincts of Ocean City,
where the very atmosphere is charged with tranquility and
religion. In Atlantic City rum is dispensed almost increasingly
every hour of the twenty-four and seven days in the week. In
Ocean City Intoxicating liquors are barred all the time and on
Sunday everything is closed UP tight, except the churches.

The appointment of Sam Atchley as Warden of the Trenton
Asylum is just what might have been expected from an unfit
and incompetent Board of Managers. He is a professional
politician and oficeholding is his business. Maybe the managers"
are foolish enough to imagine that his appointment will bring
political backing strong enough to keep them in their jobs.
The report that DR.. Hicks, of the Essex County Insane
Asylum, is likely to be chosen Medical Director, seems too good
to be true. He has the reputation of being one of the best
men in the State in that specially. Still, there may be some
thing in the suggestions about his appointment, because the
place is one that can't be filled by a political hack, and, that
being so, the managers might as well get the credit for
making a frstclass choice.

Graver. far graver than any Wall Street slump is the deep
seated undiscriminating hostility to large business interests that
has been created by the Administration policies. 1t has spread
throughout the land, and only here and there Ire evidences
seen of a reaction, of a return to sober thinking.-New York
Times.
That statement is-weI, misleading. There is no deep
seated undiscrminatng hostility to large business interests. But
there is a deep-seated discriminating hostility to the predatory
trusts and corporations. There is deep-seated and discriminate
ing hostility to practses such as those of the Standard Oil
crowd, of Hartman and of the New York insurance thieves.
The absence of deep-seated hostility in the face of the facts
would argue a condition of moral degeneracy and degradation
foretening and foeshadowing national disorder. If ever we are
sunk so low in materiaism as to be Indifferent to wholesale
breaches of trust, to graft in high places, to all kinds of dis
honesty and law1essness in corporate management, it will be
time to put up the shutters and confess that popular govern
ment is a failure.

burial. at Sea Deprecated.

The evil of sea burial is not what 1t
used to be. There was q time when one
fourth Of the human freight of immigrant
ships bound for America was tossed over
board with scant ceremony and no record.
But the system is still bad enough. There
is no sufficient guarantee of the safety
and proper care of a passenger, whether
dead or alive. 1t has been pointed out
that perhaps go per cent. of the deaths at
sea are such that if they occurred on LAM
they would be subjects of a coroner's in
quest. A laxer law, however, prevails on
shipboard, and there is no such inquiry.
A passenger or a seaman lead Is merely a
man who has dropped out of the world.
His body goes overheard, and all his rela-
tives and friends may know is merely that
he is dead and buried. There is often no
sufficient assurance that they will know
that much. There is obviously need for a
change from such loose and unnecessary
practises.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

who opened his place of business on the boardwalk last Sun
and did there and then sell ice cream. To make matters
worse the cu1prh, unblushing and unashamed, sold ice cream
cones, and we are told that men, women, boys and girls went
in and out practically the entire day and night. They pur-
chased ice cream cones and then, lost to all sense of decency,
came unto the boardwalk and beach and there devoured them
to the scandal of their devout neghbors.

THE TINY sclARA.
a Procession OF Worms Seen In Hun
gary and Norway.

~ Procession OF Worms Seen In Hun
Snry and Norway.
In some of the Hungarian forests
and In the pine woods of Norway there
exists tiny. wormllke insect called
the sciara. of the genus tlpula. Dur
Ing the month Of July or early 10 Au-
gust they gather together ~ large
numbers, preparatory to migrating In
search of food or for change OF con-
ditlon. When setting out on this Jour-
ney they stick themselves together by
means Of some glutinous matter and
form huge serpent-like mass, often
reaching length of between forty and
fifty feet and several Inches In thick
ness. AS the sciara Is only OH an av-
erage about three thirty seconds of an
inch In length, with no appreclablo
breadth whatever. the number required
to compose continuous line Of the
size above mentioned Is almost incal.
culable. Their pace Is, of course, very
slow, and upon meeting an obstacle,
such rs n stick or stone, they will
either wrlthe over or around 1t, some
times breaking Into two bodies for this
purpose.
Nj. Guerin-Meneville, n celebrated
French naturalist, said that IL the rear

procession be brought into contact with
the front part and sort Of circle
formed the Insects will keep moving
round In that circle FOR hours without
apparently noticing that they IRE get

portions will reunite In short time.
