Ira D. Snnheu.

In THE passing Of Ira D. Sankey the religious
world loses one of it's greatest exponents for the
name of Sankey is known wherever the Christian
ligion is preached Mr.. Sankey was born il Edin-
burgh, Pa, in 184O In 1870 he joined with Dwight
L. Moody, the famous evangelist, and for many
years these two men became celebrated thruout the
world. Mr.. Sankey's chief claim to distinction was
his gift of writing devotional music, and in this field
he had few equals. His hymns sung wherever
there is spark OF civilization and many of them have
been translated into almost every known language
Perhaps the two most famous hymns which Mr..
Sankey ever wrote were his 'The Ninety and Nine,
and "When the Mists Have Rolled Away" Mr..
Sankey was admired and held in high esteem by
thousands of people in all parts of the world. Few
men have devoted their life zealously to the
of Christianity as did this noble followe of Jesus
He has converted thousands, and his beautiful and
|soul-inspiring hymns has had marked influence on
the lives of hundreds of thousands of others.
In the career of Mr.. Sankey there is much to
learn of constancy and devotion to duty. All his
life was earnestly devoted to helping to bulwark
civilization by promoting the agency that he thought
most competent to WELD the clashing units into a
harmonious whole. Surely his work has not been
in vain. He has left the impress of his per-
sonality so indeby upon the age in which he lived
that it will influence generations yet unborn. Well
may Christianity mourn his departure, for great
leader has gone from their midst-a leader whose
voice was heard around the world and whose mes
sages appealed to the hearts of his fellow-men.

JUDGE AM1DoN, of the United States district
court of North Dakota, recently visited police
court while several cases of "plain drunk" be-
ing disposed of. He remarked that if he had his
way he would neither fine nor imprison men for
such offenses He believes that excessive drinking
is disease, and as such it should receive the
treatment as any other disease.
The present treatment for drunkenness is crude
and inadequate to meet the situation. It has been
in vogue for generations and during that time it has
accomplished little towards abating the evil which
it is supposed to remedy. In time people will look
Instead of placing further burden upon the unfort-
unates who have acquired unsuitable thirst for
the beverage, an enlightened age will send them to a
hospital where can be had. It does not ap-
pear logical for state to grant license to person
to sell liquor, and then fine the individual who hap
pens to drink too much of said liquor. OF course
the peace and dignity of the community must be up
held, and drink is recognized being responsible
for the condition of the majority of peace disurbers
In some countries neither fine nor imprisonment
is imposed for drunkenness. The individual is con.
sidered sick and is taken to his home by the police
This is better than putting him into cell and caus-
ing his standing in the community to be seriously
affected. However if every person had been ar
rested who happened to get under the influence of
intoxlcants, few would escape the stigma of having
been behind the bars at one time another during
the course of their lives.

SAVING NezU York.
A BAPTIST minister of Chester, Pa, has re-
ceived message, thru the medium of vision state
ing that New York City was to be destroyed. The
good has signifed his intention to depart i'm.
mediately for that city and endeavor to save the
wicked from everlasting punishment. New York is
big place, and it is difficult to tell where to begin
reforming. But this man is convinced that his vi
sion authentic and intends to do whatever he
before the disaster takes place.
Some years ago John Alexander Dowie had a
similar vision. He descended on New York amid a
blare of trumpets and spectacular display prepared
to perform wonders and to completely regenerate
tie place, but his mission failure. Today the
erstwhie prophet has been gathered to his fathers,
while the city still moves along Indifferent the
dead mummies of Egypt Every great and near
great prophet of latter days has failed to in
cude New York City among the places to be visited
by awful disaster In fact it appears that it is
necessary for all legitimate seers seventh sons and
goosebone prophesiers to include the Empire State
on their list.
were frightened by such Visions but today they do
not mind itAthey are simply apathetic The scheme
has been worked so often that the yellow jour-
mails of New York refuse to be enthusedt ignore
it. Nowadays, when man begins talking such
nonsense the people think he is either perpetrating
q canard, or else is t subject for the observation
wsrd-the latter having the preference.

SINCE H. H. Hart made his speech in the chap

we have been asked by number of the inmates here
whether his remarks were true There is no ques-
ton but what every word he stated founded on
actual knowledge of his experience with prison.
ers. The belief that it is impossible for man to
succeed who has been behind the bars is quite
prevalent among the detained, but that belief is not
entirely correct. There has been hundreds of men
who have left this place and succeeded beyond their
anticipated expectations. We admit that what
man has been plays important part; lint what he
is and what he intends to d. factors which SUBJ
merge the former to considerable degree The
man who unaIterably makes up his mind to do right
to 60 to work and honest living is bound to
win out despite all obstacles his alleged enemies may
place in his way.
Only the other day shown letter re-
ceived from who had been discharged from
this institution about year ago. He sta ed he
was doing splendid and had no fear for the immedi-
ate future; he is getting salary of So 600 year.
We knew this gentleman quite WE'LL and when he
left here he had get-rich, quick schemes in his
head nor did he have any intention of seeking SYM
pathy from those who were charitably inclined He
looked at the proposition from business standpoint
and arrived at the sensible conclusion that he could
make good.
We see considerable in the papers about this or
that ex-prisoner being convicted and sent back to
prison. but you hear of the hundreds who have
succeeded. Perhaps the majority of those rearrested
and sent back will frankly confess that they deserved
all they got. Furthermore, that they had no inten
ton of doing right their release from prison.
They committed theft because they imagined they
could make it pay The reason so many prisoners

Cortelyou has almost completed his report of the treasury department and it will show large deficit and the chairman of the committee of way and means in the house as well as Speaker Cannon have announced their determination to cut down ex- penses to the lowest possible figure, and if they can reduce the naval and ship building expenses ten or twelve millions in view of our peace ful relations with Japan and all the rest of the world, it will be an item of no small consideration. The persi- dent on the other hand will doubtless continue to urge the allowance of money for four battle ships of the first class and will point to the fact that the cruise of the formidable American fleet has been effective in producing these friendly and peace ful relations, and that, merely as an economic measure, it is better to eX- pend thirty or forty millions more for the maintenance of formidable navy than to spend ten times that much in war and a larger sum in the pensions that will follow.

Our last blast furnace statistics in dicate that the United States is mak- ing pig iron at the rate of more than 19,000,OO0 tons a year. The in
 tense pressure upon all capacity for nearly three years Gp to the latter part of October, 1907, provided such a viewpoint that there has been a tendency to regard the idle capacity more than the operating capacity, and to lose sight of the very large tonnage which is being made and consumed. There IS | growing tend

 view, to consider the intense activity prevailing in all lines just before the and to make comparisons with some earlier period. If the iron trade is willing to make such comparisons, it can find much ground for content ment The present. rate of pig iron production, easily 19,000,000 tons year. is in excess of the rate main tained in any calendar year prior to 1905. It is more than double the rate of 1890. which remained the record until 1895. It is 40 per cent in ex- cess of the output in the wonderful boom year, 1899. It is only natural that the iron trade should have need to take much rest after almost three years of feverish activity. In that period much was said to the effect that steady prices make steady de- mand." There was no doubt that prices were steady and we believe the price maintenance policy was wise

A plague of locusts has invaded the Mexican state of Tabasco, but appear to restrict their depredations to the northern counties and the damage has not been extensive. AS they are migrating northward, it is hoped that the crops will be gath cred before suffering any severe damage. The authorities are wig orously combating the evil and are meeting with gratifying results. The species now invading Tabasco do not display the same voracious and ag- gressive traits of certain species which have infested the lower tier of southern states. They are easily defiected in their flight and if per- sistently attacked and disturbed by brush burning and heavy gun fire they become alarmed and abandon the locality where they have set tied.
