happiness and has probably made
more persons laugh than anybody else
in the world. Is writing series OF
articles on how to be happy. She says
tue only unhappy persons IN III.

themselves to be happy.
The fundamental rule for happiness
laid down by Miss Irwin is to avoid
sympathy: never look for it and keel
away from persons who always want
to sympathize with you. Miss irwin

down consumption. and the deteriora- tion of eggs in storage also cuts it down. and all so that few food pirates may prosper"
 Whatever may be the cause there is no disputiug the high prices demanded and received for all poultry products, for that fact is dtscouragingiy appa rent to all who buy them. If that is to be the continued result of cold storage and refrigerators. we had bet ter get back to the old way.
 The figures above given. it Is to be remembered. do not represent the total number of eggs thus stored. but only the excess over last years supply. Ac- cording to The New York Times. which is usually well-posted. four firms in Chicago now, have in cold storage s5o.ooo.oOo eggs. which is nearly so,-
 ooo,0oo dozen. as little calculation will show. All this fruit of the hen has been accumulated during the egg season, which explains why the cold storage business has raised the price of the article.
 NOT is this the main point of inter- est in this connection. for we are told that these four large establishments are literally staggering under the weight of the load they are carrying, and this probably represents only a small part of the total, for in the other large cities in the great poultry-pro- storage houses have large stocks on hand. and the accumulatfons are be- coming a burden. To dump all. or even q moderate percentage of the s.ocs on the market would force prices down to ruinous figures. and to hold them is to lock up many millions of dollars now when they are so badly needed
 It looks somewhat as if these egg grabbers have rather overdone the thing, In their efforts to corner and control the market. they have piled Pelion upon ossa, and don't see their way to get out of the hole they are in. They cannot hold their large stocks indefinitely. and cannot risk turning them loose. While it is true that eggs always command higher prices in win- ter, and especially about Christmas. there seems to be grave doubt whether the large stocks on hand, added to 4e natural winter production. may not force prices down to ruinous figures. If that should happen. it might have the good effect of teaching those who are responsible for it not to corner the market again.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER ?, 1907.
VIOLATING ITS OWN LAWS.

Congressman Litchfeld, of Maine, who is admitted to be an authority on Constitutional law, has pointed out an- other example of this administrations 8 disregard of the Federal Constitution and statutes. The latter forbids the Transportation in foreign vessels of freights from one American port to another. yet Attorney-General Bona parte gives an official ruling to Secre- 1ary Metcaf to the effect that the United States is not itself bound by that prohibition, and that coal for the use of the fleet may be shipped to San Francisco fin foreign vessels. In other words, the Government may do what it forbids others doing. and disregard the laws enacted by it's Congress.
 Mr. Litchneld very plainly says that If this ia correct doctrine, Mir. Bona parte is entitled to the credit of being the first to discover and apply what the Maine statesman calls this con- venient feature of regal dignity" The New York Commercial points out that there are a number of decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States "declaring that the Federal Govern nent possesses no prerogative of sov- srsignty that would exempt it from obedience to a law which a person as bound to obey"
 All this is very much to the point, but what of it? Roosevelt and his ad- rninistration have been so habituated tc disregardIng constitutions and laws that another act of usurpation will not jar them in the least. Under the laws, if q private person should ship coal as freight from New York to San Fran cisco. the shipper would be punished, but if the United States does it. who is to punish it for violating its own laws? Are we not a great Nation, and is not Roosevelt its boss?

CT anywhere in the South, under any kind of a plea whatever. There was never 8 time when there was less ex- cuse for the wall of the calamity bowler in the South than now. The long struggle for rehabiIitation from the devasting effects of the CIVIL War is over. There Is just ground for hope. Iplness everywhere, for on every y. nand dence, with peace and plenty liter ally abounding throughout the South. If any people on Gods green earth their hard-earned achievements, it is certainly the people of the South, and dark indeed must be the minds of those who would take up tine dismal hocting most lonely and hair-raising sounds that ever fell on human ears in. the midst of a swamp at night are those of the calamity howler are heard now in few places in the South are like the dismal cries of this bird of the night. Dwelling in darkness. it shuns the glorious sunlight and while sur- rounded by beauty in @ thousand forms, 1t sees nothing. looks for nothing. save It's grovelling prey, and Its miserable tones make one wish for ghosts and goblins as a relief from their soul-ter- rifying echoes.
 There has never been penned curse more expressive of direful fate than that which Is given in the Fire Wor- shippers. in that masterpiece of Moore Lalla-R Roohk. and which begins with these lines:
 "Oh, for tongue to curse the slave, Whose treason like a deadly blight Comes OCT the councils of the brave, And blasts them in their hour of
 might"
 We commend the remainder of this sentence to the calamity howler in the South, for if any deserve to be con- Hpmned where tlfH always ha "SeefnT heaven. but feeling he'll" it Is certainly those who are preaching calamity in Southern communities. when they are just ready for the enjoyment Of those blessings so richly won and which are lying before and around them in glori- ouS abundance.

THE PRICE OF EGGS.

It seems like something of an anomaly to learn, as we do from a con- temporary, which has been looking into 1t. that "eggs, and indeed all poultry products, have been getting higher in price ever since the cold storage and refrigerator car business began to de- velop. Chicago is the center of this in- dustry, which Is now becoming an ex- tortion. All this fall eggs have been abnormally high all over the country. and the reasan for this appears in the statement that there are 1OO,O0O,O0O more eggs in storage there this year than last and that some of the greedy creators of artificial scarcity are stag gering under their burdens. The evil
 results of this business thus conducted
 are apparent. The high price cuts
