Today is the tenth anniversary OF

Today is the tenth anniversary OF
the blowing up OF the Maine In the
harbOr of Havana. and in all these
years it has not been definitely set-
tied as TO who Were the perpetrators
of that horrible crime Men still DIFF
fer in their opinion aG To what caus-
ed the disaster, and It will never be
proven to the satisfaction Of all
Americans as TO what or who caused
it. There is only one thing cei tain
that it caused Spain TO lose Cuba.
Porto Rico and the Philippines and
cost the United States thousands "
lives Of brave mea aad millions OF
dollars of money

GOING TO EXTREMES.

We do not suppose there is any one
who does not admit that the liquor
traffic should be regulated by state
laws, but as the Savannah News says,
there is danger of going to extremes in
such matters. That is a danger which
should be guarded against in all s,lmp-
tuary laws
The News says it is thought the
prohibition law of Georgia is a drastic
one, but that is mild in comparison
with the one introduced in the South
Carolina legislature The latter bill
provided that no citizen of the state
or anybody stopping in the state
should drink beverage in which there
is a trace of alcohol and it made it a
misdemeanor for any one stopping in
the state to have in his possession a
beverage of that kind.
In this state there are acts of the
legislature made applicable to several
counties which make it a misdemean-
or for any one to have more than
certain amount of liquor in his resi-
dence and give the officers right of
search in cases where persons are sus-
pected Of having in their homes
greater quantity than that prescribed
by the statutes. Under these statutes
man is priC1a facie guilty OF sell
ing whiskey who has more than the
prescribed amount-a quart or a g&l-
Ion as the case may be-of liquor on
his premises.
There was talk in prohibition town
in this state not long ago of notifying
the druggists that they would be in
dicted for selling witch hazel
These are all instances of carrying
the prohibition idea to the extreme,
and If it is kept up the parties behind
such movements will defeat the aims
of the real temperance element by
showing to the people to what ex-
tremes the fanatics on the question
would carry sumptuary laws if they
had their way, and thereby frighten-
ing them into turning against prohibG-
ton through fear that in the end such
fanaticism will become dominant and
mans inherent rights and privileges
in many other things be denied him
through still more stringent sumptu-
airy laws
The danger in all such movements
is that matters will be carried to ex-
tremes by the over-zealous and that
by causing fear among the people Tor
their inherent rights and prvileges
the pendulum of public sentiment will
turn and swing too far the other
war.

Senator Foraker says his defeat m
the Ohio primaries was caused by hs
friends staying away from the peils
Whereupon The News and Observer
remarks that what is now worrying
Messrs. Roosevelt and Taft is the
fear that those Foraker friends may
stay away from the polls in November
and thus verify the prediction OF that
Ohio postmaster that Bryan can beat
Taft in Ohio"

There is a law in Norway which
requires all persons TO plant three
trees for every one they cut down.
Had there been such a law enforced
in this country in years past what
magnificent forests We would now
have; what vast wealth in our timbe,
lands-far greater than at present
great as IL 10 under the devastIng pYo-
cess that has been allowed In past
years.

written, to attend Dutch lunch at midnight at the home of one Of their number. As he was not at the office that day nothing was said to him about it, but at midnight the entire crowd, minus the chief and the as sistant mentioned, trooped to the West Philadelphia home. To their surprise it was darkened. They rang the bell, but got no answer. Then they kicked on the door, pounded on the windows, yelled themselves hoarse and performed other stunts. Every person in the neighborhood was aroused; dogs parked. a crowd gath cred and half dozen policemen charged on the supposed riot. Finally disgusted and bewildered by what they considered deep discourtesy on the part of their would-be host, they marched down the street And then the mystery was revealed, for the boss" roaring with laughter, stepped from an alleyway, where he had been hiding whiL watching the fun, ac- companied by the assistant. and ad- mitted that they had put up the job on the crowd by writing the invita- tions, of which the supposed host knew nothing. The boss" had to take the crowd to the club and stand treat, and the boys saw to it that he did not escape ightly.-Philadelp Record

NERVES OF THE MODERN ACTOR

Actors travel on their nerve so much nowadays. it makes 'em think they're nervous" said the old carpen- ter. Why, l was with a show that had to delay opening two weeks because the star discovered a fancy interior done in blue and gold. He said blue got on his nerves; so we lost time while the scene was painted over Same way with another-a woman star. She wouldn't work because a parlor set had panels decorated with peacocks. Said she was picked once by a peacock, and even pictures of 'em scared her.
 But you can bet that's done mostly for advertising. They do their acting for the press agents, and the more hot air is wrote about 'em in the newspapers. the better actors they think they are.
 Used to be actors had to produce the goods-and do it on real acting, too They could act and talk so as to make the audience think it was a bal1ny moonlight night, for instance. NllnouL d ipL OI HleCITltdl SIun to neiD 'em out. There's often more stage hands working realistic efforts now adays than there are actors in the whole cast; and sometimes what pass es for a good show would be just as interesting if there was no actors in it."
 What is lacking in the modern ac- tor compared to the old school?" ask ed the student
 Most of 'em ain't got the backbone to be good actors" replied the old man. Can you figure any of these dude society stars pulling off fierce sword lights and struggles like Nc Cullough or Forrest? No. sir. they ain't physically able. And that's what makes us sick when we have to stand in the wings and listen to them fool the audience into thinking what won- derful heroes they are"-John s. Lo- 1 peg in Harper's Weekly.

THE MIDDLE-AGED MAN.

'I don't know said the middle aged man, but wha T rave to give up the use of calcr least Of that kind of calenda }t consists of leaves bound togsthsr leaf for each month, which you tear off as the months go by for this sort so reminds you of the lapse of time.
 When I was a youngster it seemed as if it took years for Fourth of July to come around and as if 1t were years more to Christmas, and the seasons seemed to keep on interminably; time seemed to have no end.
 But as I grew older, time seemed to go faster and faster, until now at my age 1 find 1t fairly galloping, the months and the years chase one an other so fast.
 "I hang up one of those leaf cal endars at the beginning of year and then with it's full complement of leaves 1t seems thick and say to my self: Good! I've got a whole year ahead of mel And though I soon be- gan to tear off the leaves, yet I felt that as long as l stayed on the other side of July l had generous part of the year left still, even If 1t was go- ing fast.
 But from that on it seemed to go faster and faster and the pad of leaves grew rapidly thinner and thinner, un- til the first thing you knew it had come down, as now, to December and the year had gone!
 T don't know what I'll do about the calendars. but l suppose I'll continue to use the old sort. with leaves that you tear off month by month they are so convenient. As a matter of fact I've got one now for 1908 hung up back oi 1907 ready to be brought into view when on December 31. take dowr and throw away the 1907 and start tn, new year
 But how time flies! lere was 2 time when I wanted timtSto go faster but what I'd like most of all to dis cover now would he some sort O brake that would make time slow down! !"-Exchange.
