Editor The Evening Journal.
I have frequently taken notice Of
boys cf nineteen and twenty years Of
age staggering home az night, with
head heavy and feet tangled from the
effect Of intoxicating liquors. Where 90
these boys get this liquor? Hotel men
declare that they strictly enforce the
law IN reference to selling 10 minors,
but with the numerous club rooms IN
this city it does not require stretch
Of the Imagination to solve the question.
Club room life points only in one direc-
tion for the boy.

ELECT SENATORS BY DIRECT voTE.

f LECTION of senator's by the direct vote OF
IL the people, is stirring Massachusetts, and
the Legislature OF that State has received a
unanimous report from its committee in favor Of
having referendum on the question of whether
it is expedent to elect senator's by the direct vote
The decision, of course would have no practical
effect, as the United States Constitution pre-
scribes how the senators shall be chosen. The
opinion, however, deliberately expressed by the
voters Of great Commonwealth, if favorable to
a direct vote, would have a far-reaching inhu-
ence. 1t might result in devisng way of elect
ing senator by primaries, as is now done in
many States, notably in the South.
The National House Of Representatives four
times has adopted resolutions submitting to the
Legislatures Of the States an amendment to the
Federal Constitution providing for the election
of senators by the people, but the United States
Senate has always refused concurrence.

STATE BOARD TO HELP.

G. ONE OF our down State friends have been
- orticsing the State Board of Agriculture
because oRinactivity but the board is now deter
mined to do something practical for the benefit Of
the farmers The latter have long been troubled
by the scarcity OF labor. There is plenty of work
on the farms, but not the willing hands to do it,
Almost any day large numbers Of men can be
seen in this city idling who could labor il they
elected, the farms. If they won't work, then
the farmers must look to the outside for securing
their help.
The Legislature has made an appropriation to
assist the State board in bringing farm labor
from Europe to this country.
The atrocities in the far East the numbering
and staying of the Hebrews by infuriated peas
ants knowing that the government will not in
terfere with them have begun again These mas
sacres are the most cruel chapters in present day
events. And they come yearly about the time of
Easter when the season of peace on earth and
good will towards men should prevail

Ground is to. be broken and work commenced almost immediately on a new home for the bureau of Amerl- can republics in Washington. This will give Washington another public building ranking almost in beauty with the library of congress, and It will be the greatest meeting place for the nations of world anywhere out side of the temple of peace at The Hague. The building will cost' ready for occupancy, just about Sl,- 100000 of which $750,000 was con tributed by Andrew Carnegie. It will be a specimen of mission architecture in compliment to the South American states, and the most striking archl- tectural feature of it will be the cen tral court that will be covered with a glass roof that can be opened in sum- mer and closed in winter. Here there will be collection of palms and ferns equal to that in any tropical patio. Altogether it promises to be a re- markedly striking building.

The republicans cannot forgive Ok lahoma that her voters gave demo- cratic majority and Secretary Taft advises the voting down of the consti- tuition, mainly on the ground that the wicked democrats have gerrymand- cred the new state. With every poli- tical close state in the union monu- ment to republican gerrymanders it is hardly seemly for Taft to cast the first stone, even if the democrats have somewhat favored their own side. The people of Oklahoma, must however, remember that, a republican congress will be rather slow in giv- ing them another opportunity for statehood and whether it is not better to flee in the ills they know exist nu- der a republic territorial government to the apocryphal ills the republican politicians assure them will come un- der democratic government. One would think to hear these republicans talk that the democrats will, when in power, try to ruin their own property and create a democratic desert out of a republican rose garden.

The fundamental trouble in both the financial and commercial markets is that capital has been invested more or less permanently-has lost it's liquid fOrm-and is not available either for stock market purposes, for the regular channels of trade distri- button, or for the working capital of the industrial world, says Banker Clews in his last weekly review. Under such circumstances the neces- sity for an enforced caution in under taking new ventures is at hand and cannot well be ignored ill stock market considerations. The records of the mercantile agencies are illuni. mating in this connection, showing for August, for instance, an increase in commercial embarras.ments com pared with the corresponding mouths of last year, and it is significant that the increases are almost exclus- lively in industrial circles, thus giv- ing practical demonstration of the widespread scarcity of capital for legitimate business enterprises.

An Island of Flowers.

The Scilly islands may very justly be termed flower islands, for a large part of their surface is given up to the cultivation of flowers, and the great majority of their people spend their lives in attending to the plants, from which all the wealth of the islands is drawn. The inhabitants have had other occupations before they settled down to flower growing. At one time they were wreckers, and at later pe- riod they went into a 4ore legitimate business and devoted themselves to the raising of early potatoes. There was money to be made out of them, and the islands prospered until pros perity bore its usual fruit in the shape of competition. The channel islanders took to growing potatoes, and the po- tato trade of the Scilly islands was killed. Thereupon the islanders be- took themselves to flower growing, giving the greater part of their at tention to the narcissi. In St. Mary's alone nearly quarter of the culti- vated area of the island is devoted to flowers.

no more little chats while the sun climbed up from its bed of night.
 The awakening came ten days later. It was Sunday, and after reaching the new show lot and getting the tent up there was nothing to be done but look after the stock until the morrow. Some of the men had gone out to look at the town, but most of them were lying in the grass on the shady side of the tent watching the boats slip past in the canal, on the bank of which they were pitched. Bogner felt thirsty and went into the dressing tent to get a drink of water. He was standing be- side the pail when he chanced to look through on the other side.
 Bessie was coming back from church, and a couple of the town boys were following her in an effort to at tract her attention. AS she reached the lot one of them stepped forward and caught her about the waist. There were a dozen others sitting by the fence watching the circus people, but they made no effort to help Bessie, and Bogner went bounding forward. Just as he came up the masher sue ceeded in stealing kiss, but the next moment he measured his length upon the ground and Bogner stood over him waiting for him to rise.
 The other men sprang forward to their townsman's assistance and fell upon Bogner, bearing him to his knees, but not before he had raised the old cry of Hey. Ruber and others of the circus crew had come running around the corner of the tent
 Ten minutes later a dozen badly thrashed youths were stealing from the lot mouthing loud threats of venge- ance, and Ben was kneeling beside Bessie, who had tainted fin the, excite ment.
 A dash of water brought her around, and she smiled up into the white face bending over her own.
 I'm all right" she whispered. T was just scared, not hurt"
 
 I'm hurt" he answered back. "I'm hurt in the heart, Bess. I didn't know it until that young fool tried to kiss you. but then I was wise that loved you. Can you ever forgive me for be- ing such a brute, dear7 You were all so much a part of my life that I didn't know I loved you. Will you forgive me. dearT VIII you always ride with me through life?"
 After the way you treated me don't see how you can expect ne to say yes" she said faintly.
 T don't" he admitted. with despair.
 But I'm going to-" she added as Bogner turned away. T think you've had your lesson"

 LESSON. By ". r. Bryan.

Up ahead twinkling lantern, swung from the running gear of the govern or's" light buggy, marked out the way. At the crossroads the light turned sharply to the left, and Ben Bogner skillfully threw his four horse team around the corner, and the pole wagon rattled and bumped along the new pike. Like the children of Israel, Quintard Bros colossal circus and mastodon me- nagerie followed a pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night. In the night time the swinging lantern was the pilot, and in the daylight the smoke from Gil Quintard's huge cigar served a similar purpose.
 The new road had recently been re- paired by the simple process of shovel ing the sides into the middle and let ting the passing wagons beat 1t to a level. The heavily loaded wagon lurched from side to side, and Ben stopped humming No Wedding Bells and began 10 curse. not loudly, but fervently, the road committee of Blash- ford township.
 The other wagons, following in close order, fared even worse. for the lighter loading increased the pitching, and presently from the rear of the carryall a woman slipped out and ran ahead to where Bogner was still explaining to himself the tortures he would like to lnflict upon the men who had mussed up the road.
 Give me a hand, Ben" she called. Bogner, without pulling up. leaned over and held out his hand. The girl grasp cd 1t at the wrist. while his fingers closed about her slender arm.

 Though he was pleased at the pref erence Bessie showed for him, Bogner was none the less uneasy. He had no intention of marrying, and he knew that Tony worshiped the ground the girl walked on, but Bessie preferred Ben and was not backward in display ing her choice.
 She clung to his arm now as they bumped over the rough road and drank deep fresh morning air. Isn't 1t splen- did?" she asked as she looked across the green fields to where the red flush of the sky was slowly turnikg to gold.
 Pretty fair" assented Ben. Down in his heart he loved the long, quiet nights and the slow coming dawn. It was one of the things that held him to wagon show when he could have travelled with a railroad organization, with a sleeper berth instead of the wagon seat. looks like it's going to be a good day"
 Some day I want to come to place like this and live" she said, with a sigh. T want to have a nice little farm, with chickens and a horse and all that sort of thing"
 And you'd eat your heart out with lonesomeness," he concluded.
 You're always spelling things" she said as she drew away as far as the seat would permit. 'I never saw a man like you"
 Co to Tony" he urged. Hes got the gift of gab. He can talk as foolish as you can"
 He talks only about himself" she said. with a shrug of the shoulders. Bogner grinned. He knew very well that she would not go. 'I wish you had his appreciation of things"
 Bogner laughed his slow laugh and handed her his pipe to fill. T guess one poet is enough with a one ring cir GUS" he said slowly. "Tony's death on poetry"
 He struck a match and held it over the bowl. putting until the white clouds surrounded bis head as with a halo. "AIl the same" he went on, ''Tony's 6 pretty decent chap. and he's dead gone on you. I ain't ever goin' to get mar ried."

 You don't seem to be able to get along without me" be said. with a chuckle.
 The girl glanced at his face for a moment. and then, without a word. she leaped to the ground and when the canyan came past slipped back into that vehicle. disdaining the invitation shouted at her by Tony.
