MISPLACED PRIDE.

Evidently the proud nobility
and hederitary pride and hau eur
of European aristocracy is sue
i cumbing to the glitter of Ameri-
can dollars. When one of the
impecuneous roues of foreign
J nations wishes to recoup his eX-
chequer. and replenish his fortune
wasted at the gaming tables and
around scandalous dissipation, he
hies to the land of the free and
lays seige to the money bags
of some American millionaire's
daughter. She is so allured BY
the glamour of a title and so def
cient in plain common sense and
pride in native land, as to sell her
body and her purse for an empty
bauble that turns to ashes on her
lips and leaves her wrecked in
body and soul. T was ever thus.
Blue blood, forsooth! When there
is more virtue, virile manhood and
honest pride in the American
plough boys little finger, than in
all the veins of the debauched and
degenerate nobility of the foreign
aristocrats who come to America
for fortune, with the addenda of
some foolish woman as an appen-
dage.

INDEX TO DISPOSITION.

The little WEAKNESSES of human
nature are never more strongly
exemplifed than in the daily in.
tarcourse among the people
There also is no truer or more
striking index to the disposition
and character of the individual.
Petty spite and dislike are glaring-
ly displayed by the resort to acts
and words, that may be meant for
a concealed pleasantly. or yelled
sarcasm, that is as keen as two.
edged sword. but behind these
Turk the disposition that delights
in wounding the heart OF another,
and taking a secret revenge by
methods that are as despicable as
they are contemplate. The can
did, courageous and fair-minded
man or woman will not resort to
such subterfuges. 1t reflects on
themselves and reveals their true
disposition. Lofty and refined
the amiable and loving
heart never resort to such prac-
tees.

The fact that there are more
negroes congregated in the Dis
trict of Columbia than any other
spot on the American continent,
according to its population, may
account for the political negro
philism of the Republican leaders.
1t is cents to doughnuts that the
dignified Senators of the Foraker,
of Ohio. stripe do not mingle with
the darkies on a social equality
plane.

While there is an active rivalry
among the friends of the two great
political parties of this country to
promote the candidacy of their
choice for the presidency. it is
almost an assured fact that Bryan

in the race for Chief Magistrate
of these United States.

Evidently legislation on grea'

the less liability there is of an APP
peal to force to settle national dis
putes. Each seems to overlook the
fact that his neighbor is resorting
to the same plan ito preserve the
peace" That is President Roose-
velt's idea in his recent plea for
the construction of four additional
war ships. The truth of the mat
ter is, that future trials of strength
and endurance are being transfer
red from the land to the ocean,
and when "the tug of war" is
joined it is likely to involve the
civilized world in the struggle for
supremacy behind the steel walls
of armored cruisers and battle
ships. The rulers, v no are urging
this armament to the limit of hui
maa endurance and resources. are
continually crying peace, peace"
with the one result in view, of a
future tremendous naval conflict.

Did it ever occur to those who
are disposed to take a pessimistic
view of the present situation oil
the country how wonderfully
agricultural methods have and are
changing. Here is soil adapted
to the successful culture of almost
any product that can be grown for

increasing their capaity of living

FIED FLAWS In THE MILK BILL
Commissioners Opposed to Measure
Introduced in Congress.
Recite Their Objections and Send
the Proposed Law to SEN
ator GaIIinger.

Adverse action is advised by the Com
missioners on the bill before Congress
providing for the regulation OF the sale
of milk and cream in the district OF
Columbia.
The enactment of this bill would trans
fer the supervision Of the milk supply
OF the District from the health officer 10 a
board created for that purpose To the
Commissioners IL seems the proposed biz
would in no way strengthen existing law
relating 10 the production and sale OF
milk and cream. For the following rea-
sons the proposed legislation is deemed
undesirable:
II would put premium on carelessness
on the part OF the milk producers and
milk dealers in supervising the work OF
their employees.
It would put premium upon careleso-
ness on the part OF the milk dealers. with
respect to the quality os the milk and
cream they oTer for sale
1t would facilitate the sale Of milk from
diseased cows.
The proposed separation OF the super
vision of the production and sale OF milk
and cream from the supervision OF the
production and sale OF food products gen
orally. is considered undesirable.
The proposed separation Of the produc-
ton Of the sale of milk and cream from
the supervision and control OF diseases
that may be caused by milk, and from
the supervision and control OF sanitary
affairs generally. would be inadvisable. it
is contended.
There is no reason. it is held for ere
atiDg a new board FOR the enforcement
Of the proposed law. The Commissioners
believe themselves able 10 do any re-
quired work with respect 20 such mat
tiers.
The hearing the board OF dairy control
the Commissioners claim. would have to
give to milk dealers would be OF practical
value.
Information in respect 10 the condition
OF dairy farms outside Of the District
would not, under the proposed Law, be
obtained.
The Commissioners have forwarded their
report on the proposed bill TO Senator
.Gallinger. chairman Of the Senate Dis
trict Committee
