The West in the Lead.
Godfrey. in the July Atlantic

Hollis Godfrey, in the July Atlantic.
 The West as a whole is far beyond the East in it's abatement of the smoke nui- sance. In St. Paul some four years ago, the work was given over to the depart ment of health, whose first act was to lay the following question before the To- cal and national unions of steam engin- eers and firemen: Gan the smoke nui- sance as 1t exists today be reasonably prevented without injury to trade and manufacturing interests?" This question was unanimously answered in the affirm ative by the members of both unions. Notices were taken in all dubious cases and fines were imposed when necessary, A minimum fine of $25 for the first of fense, doubled for each succeeding one The work has been most successful and besides an abatement of smoke, a sav- ing of fuel is reported.
 In Milwaukee an ordinance which has gone through periods of relaxation and others of strict enforcement, has been successful when properly managed. About half the city at the time of a re- cent report used smoke-consuming de- vices, about one-fourth used hard coal or smokeless fuel. The general condi- ton of the city was admirable. So ad- mirable, indeed, that the title of the or dinance passed by the common council is worth quoting in full as an epitome of what such an ordinance should be.

 Joseph Lzel, young man of 26, be- longing to respected and well-to-do fam fly, was engaged to a young widow who was an enthusiastic music lover and pian- ist. while Lizel had no ear for music.
 A few days ago Lizel's cousin. Vienna violinist, arrived in Brum to visit his relatives, and Lizel introduced him to his fiance, that she might hear him play.
 His playing captured the heart of the widow and she did not try to conceal her feelings, until Lzel madly jealous drew a revolver and shot them both dead. He then tried to commit suicide, but was dis armed by the servants and arrested. He is now thought to be hopelessly insane.

POWER OF MIND
 OVER MATTER

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The power of mind over matter is illus trated in recent electricity experiments made by Dr. Otto von der Pfordten, who believes he has shown that the action of electricity in the human body may be modified or even neutralized by the state of the mind. Aspinals has already noted that electricians who, when asleep. have touched dangerous live wires have suf- fered no injury except burn; and Jelli- nek found that an ordinarily deadly cur rent did not harm rabbits when they were chloroformed. Of greater interest still are the cases where the action of the current ic neutralzed by a mans strained expec- tation or attention. Electricians, he says. often touch parts of the machinery to ascertain if there is a current in them, and while this conscious and deliberate act results in no harm, unintentional con- tact with less powerful current proves fatal. In experimenting on himself Jeu- linek found that an unexpected shock Of $50 voles was terrible. whereas an ex- pected shock of 300 voles made little inn pression. But this a bagatelle com rared with the exhibition of courage given by Herr von Dobrowolsky, who broke wire containing 10000 volts and picked up one end of 1t in the presence of several dismayed experts without suffering the least harm. ITO do such a thing one must be absolutely fearless of death, or else one must have the force of an engi- neer who has learned to control the pow erful electrical fluid" The force, Dr. von der Pfordten declares, IS will power, and he adds:
 'There is something imposing in this idea that the will power in such case opposes itself to death as an equal force and comes out triumphant"
 Dr. Hufeland was convinced that mos! nervous disorders are caused by mental to bodily sensations and impressions. And he cites Pinel, who found that during the excitement of the French revolution many persons who had for years been weak and sickly became healthy and strong, this being true especially among the indolent

Chief Inspector Mcmillan asserted that this 90
per cent represented the money that is being
boarded which would quickly pour into govern
ment Postal Savings Banks if they estab
lshed. He pointed out that the Postal Banks are
not inimcal to the commercial and other savings
banks, the former would deposit their funds
with local banks, and thereby put into circula

This is the measure whose adoption has been
long and frequently urged by the Grange and
other farmers organizations. By the adoption of
a Postal Savings Bank SYSTEM the Government
would become responsible to the depos1tors for
the payment of principal and interest. But the
whole business of the Postal Savings Banks would
be in the hands of the Government; and the Gov
eminent would not be committed either directly
indirectly to payment of depositOrs in specu-
lative and rotten banks, like those which made
the crisis of last November.

to promoting their welfare. citizen cannot
reach his vital interests by merely acting as
a counter for ticket selected by sefnterested
politicians, but the way is now open TO him to
secure action for direct results.
However important may be the issues pertain
ing to state affairs, there is subject so impor
tant to the public welfare as is the makeup OF
Congress, for with Congress constituted as 1t
is, neither candidate for President can do more
nor indeed, as much, as President Roosevelt
who with the common people of the land almost
unanimously behind him. succeeded with few
measures but failed with many. No matter who
is elected the real struggle the most strenuous
and severe in the history of the republic will
come after March A. 1909. If Congress is
elected that will continue the present speaker
and committee rules, in the main, neither
Taft nor Bryan do much in the way OF
securing practical legislation. If the new Sen
ate chosen is in sympathy with Aldrich and the
older statesmen, no substantial reform there can
be inaugurated for two or four years more.
The most important thing this fall, therefore,
is to retire once and forever those members OF
the House, and, opportunity offers, those Sen
ators who have by their efforts or by silence
resisted the reforms demanded by the farmers
or advocated by the President. With purified

Lifting my fists I implore thee,
Give me the heart Of man.

Or perish with those who fall?
Only the towards are sinners;
Fighting the fight is ALL
Strong is my foe-he advances!
Snapt is my blade, 0 Lord
See the proud banners and lances!
O spare me this stub of a sword
Give me no pity, nor spare me-
Calm not the wrath of my foe.
See where he beckons to dare me!
Bleeding, half beaten-I go.
Not for the glory of winning,
Not for the fear of the night;
Stunning the battle is shining
O spare me the heart to fight
Red is the mist about me;
Deep is the wound in my side;
Coward" thou criest to fout me?
