coUNrRVs NEEDS SET FORTH.
Wall Street Journal Advoca tes H.
turn to Old Conditions.

The following editorial from the
Wall Street Journal is somewhat re.
markable, appearing in purely fnan
cial paper. and is certainly worthy of
serious consideration:
What America needs is a revival
of piety. the kind mother and father
used to have-piety that counted 1t
good business to stop for daily family
prayer before breakfast. right in the
middle of harvest; that quit field work
half hour early Thursday night SO as
to get the chores done and go to
prayer meeting; that borrowed money
to pay the preachers salary and
prayed fervently in secret for the sal.
walton Of the rich man who looked
with scorn on such unbusinesslike be-
havior. That's what we, need now to
clean this country of the filth of graft,
and Of greed, petty and big of wor-
ship OF fine horses and big lands and
high Office and grand social functions.
What is this thing we are wor.
Shipping but vain repetition of what
decayed nations fell down and wor-
SHIPPED just before their light went
out? Read the history of Rome in de-
cay and you will find luxury there
that could lay big dollar over our
little doughnut that looks so large to
us. Great wealth never made a ma.
ton substantial nor honorable. There
is nothing on earth that looks good
that is so dangerous for a man or ma
ton to handle as quick, easy, big
money. II you do resist its deadly in
fluences the chances are that it will
get your son. 1t takes greater and
finer heroism to dare to be poor in
America than to capture battery in
Manchuria."

ELECTRIC CORN PoPPER HERE.
Very Different from the Old Time
Kind You Held Over a Fire.

The old fashioned wire corn pepper
In which you pop corn over a glowing
fire, is familiar enough, but novelty
Is the electric corn pepper; in which
you pop corn by electricity.
The electric corn pepper consists of
an aluminium basin with flaring sides,
to which Is fitted dome shaped COW
er of wire gauze; this cover to keep
the corn from popping out as 1t pops,
and also to enable one to see how the
popping Is getting on. To the under
side Of the basin Is permanently at
tached resistance coil in which heat
Is produced when the electric current
is turned on.
In one side of the pepper are two
plug holes. Into these holes you in
sert the two plugs at one end of a
flexible electric wire, the other end
of which you screw into the nearest
and most convenient electric light
socket
AS everybody knows. in popping
corn in a wire pepper you have to
keep the pepper moving as you hold
1t over the fire to keep the corn from
burning; to permit keeping 1t agitated
to the same end, the electric pepper,
which is used on a stand or table, is
mounted on wheels.

DOUBTFUL OF THE GUARANTEE.
Specific Clause Caused Increase In
Price Of Cloth.

The Arabs. and, indeed. all Mos
lens, have the practice OF reinforcing
promises by adding to their word of
honor the Arabic phrase, Inshallah--
please God" How much meaning it
conveys in some lands of the east Is
told in the pages of In Moorish Cap
tivity."
The pious proviso is a very useful
formula to the Moors, and is frequent
ly used In making promises that they
have no intention whatever of keep
ing, as they can then take refuge be.
hind the Almighty when they are
taxed with their breach of faith.
There is a story told of man who
kept a shop in Gibraltar, and who
knew the ways of the Moor. To him
one day came one of the faithful, who
was DESTROYS of buying some cloth.
On being informed that the price was
two dollars a yard, payment in 60
days, he replied:
All right. will take so much and
will pay you in 60 days, Inshellah."
NO" said the vender, "the price is
two dollars, payment in 60 days. For
go days. Inshallah, the price is two
dollars and a half."--Youths Com
panion.

Iloht from the Fixed stars.

The fixed star which, according to
the knowledge we have, is nearest to
the earth is 100000 astronomical units
distant from us. The astronomical
unit Is the mean distance of the sun
from the earth, matter of some 49,.
900 900 miles Thus the nearest fixed
star is $500 900, 100000 miles away.
Light travels at the rate of some 1885,
900 miles per second, or 5,S65, 696. OO0,-
600 miles year 1t will thus be seen
that 1t takes over three years for
light to reach the earth from the near
est fixed star, so that II every star In
the sky were blotted out, 1t would be
over three years before we noticed
any difference, This does not, OF
course, apply to the planets in our
own solar system. such as Mercury,
Venus, Jupiter, etc.

Didn't See the Joke.

A certain curate was of a painfully
nervous temperament, and In conse-

ments-to the bishop and others.
Having distinguished himself in an
unusual degree during gathering Of
clergy to an afternoon tea In the
bishops palace. he was taken to task
for his failings by senior curate,
who was one Of his companions on the
way home.

lice, on. the 4th of March next. His re-
tusal OF a denomination, dictated by the
loftiest motives and by a final and irrevo-
American traditions. is. final and irrevo-
cable. Any one, who attemps to use his
name as a candidate for the presidency,
impugns both his sincerity and his good
faith, two OF the presidents greatest and
most conspicuous qualities, upon which no
shadow has ever been cast. That man Is
no friend to Theodore Roosevelt and does
rot cherish his name and fame, who now,
from any motive, seeks to urge him as a
candidate for the great office which he has
finally declined, The president has refused
what his countryman would gladly have
given him; he says what he means and
means what he says, and his party and
his country will respect his wishes as they
service.
But, although the president retires. he
leaves his policies behind him. To those
policies the republican, party stands
pledges. We must carry out as we have
begun, regardless alike of the radicals of
reaction and the radicals of revolution.
We must hold fast to that which is good
while we make the advances which the
times demand \
We ask for the confidence and support
Of the American people because we have
tried patiently to solve them. We appeal
for votes and for the power they confer
because We uphold the presidents policies
and shall contiue to sustain them. We
make our appeal with confidence because
we have a well defined policy and are not
like our opponents, fumbling In the dark
to find some opinion on something,
We believe I'm the maintenance Of law
and order and In the support Of the courts
in all their rights and dignity. We believe
in equal right for all men and are opposed
to special privileges for any man, or any
class Of men, high or low, rich or poor. We

Mr.. Gompers took up the record OF injunc-
tions. He disputed the statement made
yesterday to the full committee by Mr..
Emory, representing the National Manu-
facturers' association. TO the effect hat
eighteen injunctions on labor was the fed
eral record for fifteen years. MIR. Gompers
charged that Mr.. Emory knew this to be a
Misrepresentation. To this Mr.. Emory,
who was present, -strenuously objected. and
when Mr.. Gompers had concluded he was
given an opportunity TO be heard again.
He said In his previous statement he had
taken the record furnished congress by
Mr.. Gompers. His wi figures were. he
said, twenty injunctions in labor disputes
in five years.
Mr., Emory took occasion to repeat his
points Of yesterday. Mr.. Van cleave, who
heads the manufacturers association, and
Mr.. Smith OF the Illinois association were
both given a word N conclusion In 0Pposi-
