Antiquity Of Proverbs.

Proverbs existed long before books
In the earliest times they served as
the unwritten language OF morality
and have been passed down through
the generations. In Africa there are
numerous quaint proverbs. Among
them are: "He who dives on dry land
viii scarify his face" 1.-TWO people
cannot sit down upon the point Of the
same thorn at the same time.D In the
Transvaal the proverb, Beware Of i
silent man; he has a brass band In his
mouth" is often heard.

ANOTHER SIC TRANSIT,

And now we are told that the elev- enth international antialcohol congress has formally expressed the conviction that the Gothenburg system of con- trolling the liquor traffic has proved a failure as a factor in promoting tenn perance. So fades another illusion. That the Gothenburg system did pro- mote temperance had come to be an accepted belief. It has been in opera tion in Gothenburg, Sweden's second city, since 1865, and has since been adopted by most of the towns of Swed- en, It Is also in use in Finland and elsewhere. The Gothenburg system is company plan for conducting and regulating liquor selling in the inter- ests of the community. It provides for the management of drinking places by the municipality through a company whose shareholders derive a limited proflt-fve or six per oent.-from the trRde. The company in each commun- ity is granted a monopoly of the sale of intoxicating drinks, being given city licenses, for which 1t Is taxed It Is usually controlled by prominent etti- zens. It employs salaried managers who are permitted to take profits from sales of mineral water, coffee, cigars
The daily morning journal and courier., 1907-08-13

and victuals. The company is expected 8 to control these public resorts as to reduce the amount of drinking. Ad- Yocates of the system urge that places where liquor Is sold should be bright and warm rather than elegant. The giving of credit should be forbidden. Good, nutritious food should be sold with liquor
 A leading promoter of the system told the antialcohol congress that un- der it's present operation drinking at the bar was rather encouraged than discouraged by the serving of good food with drinks, and that private prof1tmaking was allowed. Which in- dicates how hard 1t Is to make men do as they ought to. Prohibition doesn't prohibit, high license regulates some, the dispensary system doesn't work perfectly, etc.. etc. Perhaps men are not ready yet to treat rum as it ought to be treated.

TIE s11uAr1oN IN 1ND1A.

The dlsaffection in India doesn't seem to be fading out, but there are no very alarming indications that it is spreading. A competent investigator who has been studying the situation says that few signs of trouble are to be found in any of the states where there is a native ruler under British control He believes that the revolu- tionary movement got its impetus from the partition of Bengal It can be traced in a great measure to a small society of literati bent on retaining the monopoly of subordinate government appointments which they had hitherto enjoyed all over Bengal. That particu- lar coterie of subtle-minded Hindus centered in and about Dacca (Bikram- pur) saw in the proposed partition of Bengal a direct attempt to break Hin du predominance. The Babus at once became as a class the bitter opponents of partition. It meant for them not on- ly a direct blow at their cohesion as class, but threat to their vested interests In government appointments. Vanity and greed are among the less estimable characteristics of the educat- ed Bengali, and partition, with the unpleasant prospects which it opened up, acted as an irritant to both. The medium through which the Bengalis gave expression to their hostility was the native press, which they control. By means of the press, they succeed ed in producing a paper boycott, a pa- per national fund, and a paper national unity The question, therefore, which the Indian government has to solve is whether there is any possibility of this ''paper blockade" of the British Raj l so influencing public sentiment in In- dia that 1t will become really effective
 Time will tell. But it now looks as If England would be able to hang on to India awhile longer.

can prof1tably use in any other way than to increase the business success secured. They continue to toll at their desks because they love achieve ment as result of which something Is created which did not exist before. Whether Commissioner Smith is justified in his wholesale denuncia- ton of the Standard oil company re- mains to be seen. Whether MT. Rockefeller is justified in his semi benevolent attitude is also to be in- quired into later. Whether his com pany has been as wicked as Mir.
 Smith paints 1t in his report, or whether among the achievements of the oil company is to be counted lower
 prices than would otherwise be of fered, the fact is not to be lost sight
 that the resultant situation can
 be traced back to lawless. methods of doing business. The situation is de-
 plorable and, as MT Rockefeller says, he and his associates will not be the sole sufferers in what is likely to hap pen if the assault on public confid- ence continues, but the situation is nevertheless a logical one. The loss in getting back to lawful and order ly methods of doing business is all
 ways immense but the return must
 be undertaken. Perhaps before we are through with the process of re- lgeneration our captains of industry may conclude that they were not quite
 so smart after all.

4 MISSOURI WONDER.

Missouri is one of the proudest States in the Union, and she is par ticularly proud of her meritorisus mules, whose cheerful and cheering voices can be heard in all parts of the civilized world and in some parts of the uncivilized world. In works of peace and in works of war the Mis- souri mule is equally faithful, relia- ble and useful, So Missouri is justi- fled in pointing with pride at it, and in putting on few extra airs over the specimen which has just been sold in East St. Louis for $400. The enorm- ous size of the mule was the star at traction recently at the East St. Louis charity carnival It weighs 1860 pounds, almost twice the weight of an ordinary mule, and stands more than eight feet high, with It's head up. There Is not a blemish on it, and besides being the largest, it Is said by experts to be the most perfectly formed large mule in the world.
 This indicates what the mule may become with the right kind of care and attention. Perhaps when it so becomes it will not be as celebrated as

4 FALSE INFERENCE.

Apropos of the gratuity given to the legislative reporters by the State sen ate this year the Stamford Advocate makes this unfortunate comment: For mere curiosity's sake, it would be worth while to know how many laws passed by the General Assembly were left out of the record by report CTS whom our generous lawmakers bribed with $500 apiece of the peoples money"
 We agree that the most miserable legislation of the session is that which gives newspaper men whack at the State treasury, but the intimation that the subsidy is successful in tempting them to suppress news In acknowl- edgment of 1t Is unfair to them and to the Legislature. No legislator would be such a fool as to ask for favor of that character. No newspaperman would pc sucn an ldlot as to under take to carry out the contract if made. Whatever the objections are to the gratuity suppression of news is not one of them.
 Guardian over the best interests of the State stands the Associated Press whose representatives do not receive the subsidy. It works and works conscientiously to give a complete rec ord of the sessions doings. The news paper which is provided with It's ser vice cannot be fooled by such a possible contract as the Advocate has in mind.

A New York woman brought suit against her husband for q separation on the ground that he did not prop erly provide for her, but the evidence tended to show that the wife merely wanted to live beyond her husbands means. She desired to leave the apartment in which they were living for more expensive one and upon her husbands saying that he could not afford to pay an increased rent, she promptly left him and brought an action for separation. The decision of the court was fully in keeping with the marriage contract that it is a woman's duty to live with her hus- band wherever he may take her, so long as the place is reasonably com fortable.

THE NEGRo IN GEoRGFA.

The new suffrage law in Georgia will dfsfranchise nearly all the negroes in the State. It is intended to do that very thing. Of course this law has the ap- proval of the Charleston News and Courier, which is moved to make an ingenious argument to the effect that It is not necessary that the negro in Georgia should vote in order to become a prosperous and respected and self respecting citizen. For more than thir- ty years the negro in Georgia has been out of politics and living in a practically disfranchised state. Thirty years ago the Georgia negroes owned 45T 635 acres of land, Ten years later they had increased their holdings to S02, ,939 acres. Twenty years later they had acquired the ownership of more than 100000 acres, and last year they paid taxes on 100000 acres of land which they owned outright, and which were assessed for taxation at the large sum of $7OOO,20 During the forty years since the close of the war the value of the stock owned by the ne- groes in Georgia has increased from $12,OO0 to $5,20O,OOo, and the value of the city property owned by them has increased from s7O,OoO to $5,85O,0OO while the value of their church and school property has grown from $1OO,0OO to $5, 200, 900. The assessed value of their property, exclusive of schools and churches, has grown since slavery from $45O ,OOO to $2221s. 46S.
 The idea is that the negro can and should get along without voting. He can and does, but there are those who think that the more ability to prosper the negro shows the more fitness he shows for the chief duty of citizenship

4 THANKFUL HEART.

The Socialist candidate for governor of Rhode Island says: There is much for which we must be thankful: ev- ,erywhere there prevails widespread discontent."
 Thanksgiving is coming, but when it comes 1t wont be the kind of Thanksgiving the Rhode Island Social list would perhaps like to see, though the chances are that he will have a good fat Rhode Island turkey himself and feel pretty good Now he pro- fesses to be thankful because there is widespread discomfort. There is al- ways more or less iscontent-much less just now, we believe, than there has been at other times in the his- tory of this country We suppose the Rhode Island Socialist thinks he is thankful for what discontent there is because he thinks it will lead to the spread of the doctrine whose spread he hopes will make him gover-
 nor. But he may be surprised to find
 that an important part of what dis-
 content there is is directed against the doctrine he advocates. |
