Why Preachers Live Long.

The British statistics of mortali-
ty, just published, show what we
all knew before, that more clergy.
men live to old age then the men,
bers of any other profession.
What is the reason! In part that
they are little older in entering
their profession than in almost any
other business which cuts out, in
the statistics, those that die before
26. Next, they live aregulur life,
with no excesses; and they take a
moderate amount of exercise, while
mostly protected against exposure.
Then sometimes may be credited
to the philosophy of religion,
which tends to an equabIe frame
Of mind.

An Up-to-Date Fable.

AS the Fox was trotting through
the forest with hungry stomach,
he had the good fortune 10 come
upon a Hare, which had been kill
ed by falling limb. With thank
fnlness in his heart Reynard pre-
pared himself for the feast, but be
fore he had taken bite second
Fox appeared and said:
just wait a minute. my friend.
That Hare is on my territory, and
claim the right to eat her"
Il deny your statemcnt,' re-
piled the first. This hare is well
within my own hunting grounds"
"But | insist to the contrary.
My eyeslght is perfectly good, and
| can prove to Il third party that
the body Of the Hare is a full inch
on my territory. | ask nothing
that does not belong to me, but
when my rights arc tresspassed up

Then you'll have to fight in
this case. | am right about the
body, and | shall claim and eat it. ="
Then come on"
The two foxes were engaged in
a fierce battle when the Wolf came
along and exclaimed:
Here, now, but what's all this
row aboutl"
about the dead Hare" replied
the first Fox. Il found her and
claim her as my lawful prize"
''But she is ON my terrltory,'

''Gentlemen,'' said the Wolf, as
lie looked about him in a sagacious
way, this is an intricate case.
the dead Hare may be half an inch
to the west of the line, or she may
be a sixteenth Of an inch to the
east of it. 1t will take months tc

The Democratic papers are
sneering at the numerous appli
cants for places under the incom-
ing Republican administration i'll
Missouri, referring to them rs the
''horde of pie hunters" That's all
right, however, the Republicans
are at the ple-counter where the
Democrats were feasting SO long
and can take the little, spiteful
things said by our friends without
any disturbance of appetite or ca
pacity of consumption. We want
to say in addition, that if there is
one thing above all others that the
Democratic purity has demonstrat-
cd capacity for, it is the produc-
ton of patriots willing and eager

Our Democratic exchanges with
free trade tendencies are making
much of Andrew Carnegle's state
mont before the tariff commission.
Mr.. Carnegie has said that the
steel trust needs no tariff protec-
tion on its products, which free
trade Democrats accept as vindl-
cation Of their position that all tar
itf protection is IegaIized robbery
of the consumer for the benefit of
special interests. What Mr.. Car
negie admits does not discredit pro-
lection as an economic principle,
but it does dlscredlt the capitalistic
interest represented in men like
him. As we have said before, The
protective tariff is not intended so
much to protect capital as it is to
protect labor; capital is self pro-
tective through its power over la
Dor. Capital will take what it re-
CARDS as its share of the combined
effort Of capital and labor regard
less of whether their mutual inter-
ests are projected by legislation.
If the former were more liberal to
the latter in the matter of division,
perhaps labor might stand up like
MIR. Carnegie and say, "we no
10 ,ger need a tariff" Look at the
muItitudinous millions that capi
taIists like our Laird of Skibo"
have raked in and piled up for
themselves. Had they shared more
Of them with labor labor would
not have felt the need of a project
tive tariff nearly 50 much. Our
free trade friends will hardly hold
out the contention that with the
protective duties On steel and other
trust made products wiped out,
and labor employed in these lines
brought in direct competition with
the cheaper labor of other lands,
that capitalists of the Carnegie
class are going to yield to another
impulse to give up something, and
voluntarily cut into their own pro
fits to make up what labor would
lose by cutting it loose from the
protective tariff.

Time Valuable and Life Cheap.

Last year 3,764 persons were
killed in railroad accidents in the
United States, according to the re-
port Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. This is only sixty
three per cent. of the fatalities
of the previous year, though it is
far beyond the number 10 Europe
an countries. More stringent laws
compelling the railroads to intro
duce mechanical improvements
have done much for the protection
of employees. One great reason,
however, why more people are
killed and injured BY accidents in
the United States than in other
countries is The resentment which
Americans feel toward Interference
with their personal liberties. Many
OF them are willing to risk all the
years Of life that may be befor G
them iu order to save two minutes
of that time by crossing t: track
rather than going above or below
it. They prefer to hazard Il crush
ed limb rather than take the great.

fort. For different reasons en-
pioyers and employees hold life
too cheap. Qnickened sense of
responsibility for human life must

fective laws to guard against acci-
dents, in order that this appalling
mutilation and slaughter Of human
beings may he reduced to some

The oaster decision of the

gratifying. The law Of the state

him as an attorney general and
tried to make the people believe
that he was a failure as public
official.
Now that the Supreme Court has
upheld every contention made by
General HadIey in his chief suit in
the name of the State, and has rem
dered judgment against the pup
pet organizations of the Standard
oil Company and driven them out
of the state, subiecting them to
heavy fines, and in every way sus-
tanning the effort of General Had
ley to enforce one of the laws of
the state which has lain dormant
on the statute books under Demo.
cratic administrations, it is time for
these Democratic leaders to step
to the front and take back what
they said and apologize for having
said it.
They tried to discount the heroic
young attorney general while be
was before the people, but the peo
pie refused to he fooled by them.
The Supreme Court of the State
having decided that the attorney
general was entitled to victory in
his fight for the supremacy of Mis-
souri, laws, and having rendered
decision which will make him ia.
nous as a prosecutor of trusts, the
people realize that they made no
| mistake in electing him governor.
But do the eminent Democratic
politicians realize that they made
a miserable mistake in assailing his
official record? Do they realize
that what they said about him is
now remembered by the good citi.
zens who heard their speeches, and
that these good citizens feel that
an apology is due, not only to the
| official they so wantonly assailed,
but to the people they tried to de-
ceive!
1t il time now for these eminent
gentlemen of the Democratic par
ty to step to the footlights and say
something. They have been caught
in sweeping decision from a court
made up of their own political
brethern, and they cannot squirm
out of the net in which they are
enmeshed. They have duty to
themselves and to the people to
perform and cannot be too quick
or too earnest in performing it.
The friends of General Hadley re-
sented the assaults at the time and
they resent them now. There was
no justification for what was said
concerning the official record of
General Hadley during the cam
paign. 1t was bad politics, bad
manners and bad faith. There is
time yet for repentance. Let it
come, 10 manly words. General
Hadley was viciols|y assai'ed. Let
