Every once in a while New Workers,
alarmed at the ever.increasing cost of
living, rise up in rebellion against one
or another monopoly in foodstufs. Now
it is the beef trust that Is the object
Of an attack in which the independent
butchers OF the city are leading the
way. Several years ago these inlepend-
ent dealers organized themselves into an
association known as the New York
Butchers Dressed Meat Company. Now
they have awakened to the fact that
apparently the big packers of the trust
have secured control Of this concern and
that, if this control is not broken, the
trust will have absolute control of the
meat situation in New York. To find
out whether this is the case they have
begun suit through the minority stock
holders to compel the president Of the

That New Workers live too fast worry
too much and do not exercise enough is
the conclusion Of the Board Of Health
in it, attempt to account for the great
increase in the number OF deaths from
heart disease in the metropolis in re-
cent years. While Father KnickerbocEer
is represented as a staid old gentleman,
his children as indicated by figures are
literally racing toward the grave. Gov
cring a period Of more than 40 years
these figures indicate in staggering
and unexpected manner the rate Of in
crease Of deaths from. nervous strain Of
the racking, rushing life Of the worlds
busiest city. Nearly 5000 persons have
found the stain of the modern mode Of
living and working in New York too
great and succumbed TO heart disease
during 1907 showing an increase of 1900
over the year OF 1906. That this sur
prising total and appalling increase is
due to the killing rush of the city Is
the verdict Of practically all the health
officers. The seriousness of the situa-
tion is indicated by the figures which
show that while deaths from many
other diseases known as mortal against
which preventive measures can be taken
have shown steady decrease, deaths
from organic heart disease, the result
of worry and overwork, have shown a
steady and unprecedented increase.
Crushed to death would seem to he
rapidly becoming an appropriate New
York epitaph.

THE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL

At it's last session the poaru OF coun-
ty commissioners aeslgnaled WINNIE
mucca as the town IN wnlcn the new
county nigh scnool Is to be esIapllsneu,
and there the matter rests, temporar-
lily, at least.
Under the law the money required
tor the erection Oh the necessary puliu-
ings can only be raised by taxation.
As the electors dld not nave an oppor-
tunity to vote on the question unln
after the tax levy Tor the current year
had been liked, the money cannot now
be provided tor until next year, anu IL
Will be a year and a nan DeIore any
portion OF same can become avaIlaple.
The practically unanimous vote cast
at the last election in favor OF the pro-
ject would seem to indicate that our
citizens recognized the Importance OF
u county nlgn s%cnool, n mIerentiaiiy
that they wished it estaDnsned rorun
with. AS in the ordinary course OF
events it will be Impossible to uegIn
the construction OF the buildings unaer
two years, it would perhaps be well to
endeavor to provide the money in some
other way. AT present the county has
u large surplus lying idle and not draw
ing q dollar interest. BY securing the
enactment of a special law at the com
ing session of the Legislature this
money could instantly be made avail
able, with the result that the county
would at once secure a much-needed
Improvement and the taxpayers be re-
ieved Of the burden of additional tax
ation.

PASTEURIZING MILK
FOR POOR BABIES

In telling how, in New York city,
more than four million bottleof pure
germ-free milk are distributed in the
tenement districts every year, Popular
Mechanics for January says:
The method by which this milk is
p~asteurized has many advantages over
the older system of sterilization or boil
ing, as a lower degree of heat is APP
piled, which, although sufficient to kill
all noxious germs, does not affect the
nourishing quality and allows the good
taste to be retained.
The milk is first dropped through a
fine sieve onto coils cooled by ice. The
milk is transferred from this cooler to
an automatic bottle-flling machine.
After the bottles are filed the next
step is the heating or pasteurization.
This is accomplished by gradually in
creasing the temperature of the hot
water surrounding the bottles until a
temperature of 157 degrees is reached.
The bottles are left in this temporal
ture for a period of 20 minutes. The
milk is r~e-cooled by an automatic ma
chine which sprays the bottles with
cold water. The article is illustrated.

That our citizens are fully alive to
the Importance of securing the West
ern Pacific terminal was evidenced by
the largely attended and enthusiastic
meeting held Sunday to discuss the
situation. AS the matter now stands,
there is every reason to believe that if
our citizens will donate the required
land, Winnemucca will in all human
probability be made the terminal. On
the other hand, it is equally certain
that if the donation is not forthcom-
ing, the division point will 60 else
where.
The spirit exhibited at the Sunday
meeting, where business rivalries were
for the moment lost sight of, is a good
indication of the success of the move
ment. The committee appointed to re-
ceive the subscriptions are much an
couraged over the prospect and antici.
pate no difficulty in raising the neces-
sary funds.

Having succeeded in embroiling his
country in serious di~ficulties with Hol-

dent Castro has evidently abandoned
Venezuela to its own fate. Late press

has found an asylum in France, and it
10 likely that he took. along enough
good South American gold to last him
the rest of his life. This man Castro
has managed to keep himself proml-

years, and would seem to have been a
~financier that could give valuable

As his questionable financial methods

At present there are said to be 1900
men nightly forming in the ''bread
line' ON the New York Bowery. A
movement is now on foot to ship all
who want to work to the west, and in
this connection Nevada is mentioned
as the prospective asylum of a large
number of the ne 'er-do-wells. While
this class Of people are not the most
desirable for a state to receive, it IS
possible that, if given a fair oppor-
tunity, they may in time become self
supporting and industrious citizens
But with only 1900 thriftless men to be
divided among several western states,
NO single commonwealth has any par

The news that the Kaiser William OF
Germany is hard up for ready money
viii come al a great surprise to the
ordinary American. Among this latter
class the idea has ever been prevalent
that the chief p~rerogatiye of the
crowned heads was 70 spend as much OF
their subjects money as they could
find time and inclination for doing. But
this belief would seem to have been
erroneous. The Kaiser Billy has been
going at, q pretty lively clip ever since
he ascended, the throne, with the result
that he now finds it necessary to dis
pose of n or more Of his numerous
castles in order to find the wherewithal
to pay his debts.

The house of lords has been to;er-
ated for exactly the same reason. From
time immemorial the peers of the realm
have sat as the upper body of pail'a-
ment, and formerly they were the dom
inant body. 1t is only during the past
few years that the average English
man has dreamed any other system Of
government was possible. The success
of complete republican government in
the United States, which for years he
was 10th to admit was possible, has
him that a hereditary ruling class was
not essential. So, for the past three or
four years, he has beer gradually
reaching the conclusion that a house of
lords was not absolutely necessary to
his well being. The lords understand
this change in sentiment and the re-
forms they now propose spring more
largely from the sense of self prescrva
ton than from any deep conviction
that changes are necessary.
The question is, if the British people
have so changed their views as to force
the lords to reform themselves, how
long will their reverence for ROYALTY
persuade them to maintain the throne?
There is no manner of doubt tina. de-
voices of the royal family are debat-
ing this question, and it is reasonable
to suppose the king himself is not
blind to the pertinency of the question:.

ed States the administration, which
corresponds to the ministry in Great
Britain and Germany, is the creation
Of and is responsible to the whole
electorate, and adverse majorities in
congress do not affect its tenure.
There is nothing in the scheme of
the Amerivan government which cor
responds to the crown in Great Britain.
The British king has certain functions,
some important and some u%nimportant.
But wherever the function is important
the crown is controlled in its exercise
by the ministry in power, SO that, for
all practical purposes of government,
the king is without actuad authority.
The king remains on the throne partly
because the British people are cvnserv-
alive and not given to change, and
partly bevause they are unable t, get
away from the tradition of a ruling
family.
