AND LAW

The Herald and PreSbyter of Cincin-
lati, one of the foremost organs of the
Presbyterian Church, comments upon
he old saw about the inability of law
o make people moral. 1t says:
"You can't make people moral by
law" Of course not Neither can you
make them healthy by law, but this
is no argument against law. Laws are
not designed to make men either
moral or healthy, but to protect them
in person and property, in their
homes, and in all their interests. Do
ing this they promote morality by
Furnishing evil doors and restraining
those who would do evil They also
establish conditions favorable to
morality and health
A pure-food law may not compel
man to eat healthful food, but it pre-
vents men selling him, under false
labels, what is unhealthful A law
against cigarettes does not take away
boys appetite for them, but it pre-
vents men selling them to him and so
protects boys from temptation 1t
protects others from the formation of
the appetite A law against saloons
may not make drinking men temper
ate, but it creates an environment
Z favorable to temperance.

TRY 1T ON THE DOG"

The american Issue, the organ of the
Anti Saloon League, treats the efforts
of the brewers to reform the saloon
with humorous sarcasm. 1t says:
The brewers have decided that the
dive" saloons must go, but that the
respectable saloons must be pro-
tected and preserved Here, at last,
is ''the conclusion of the whole mat
ter and the keynote for the solving
of problems having to do with the
public health, the public morals, the
public peace and safety in general.
The mad-dog scare which has been
going the rounds of the cities in these
recent weeks will now abate, for the
people interested will at once see the
soundness and safety in this remedial
plan :. All that will be neces-
sary under this plan will be first to
ascertain the character of the mad
dog. If he happens to be a full
blooded English bull, or French
poodle or a high-grade Scotch ter
rier he must be turned loose at once,
and allowed to run at large IT, how
ever, he is found to belong to the
common yellow dog family, he must
be shot on the spot.

PERSONAL LIBERTY j..

The Union Signal puts in single
sentence one of the best statements in
refutation of the personal liberty argu-
ment ever produced 1t says:
The demand for personal liberty"
to buy and drink intoxicants would
be more convincing if it came from
those whose liberty is said to be in
danger rather than from those who
have lntoXicants to sell.

Whether or not the properly con-
ucted" saloon is community asset

therwise conducted, the one that

ne Nashville TennesSeau has clear
perception of the humor of a brewers
posing as temperance
1t says:
These rotund members of the white
wings and harpsichord brigade must
have suffered the keenest humiliation
when they found themselves classed
with the wicked saloon man. After
passinn so many precious years of
their lives in the philanthropic manu-
facture of "aids to DIGESTION it seems
inhumanly unfair that their motives
should be so misunderstood by the very
people whose spirits they seek to fur
nish 1t seems a shame that they have
saloon politics, when all they ask IS to
be allowed to tread the straight and
narrow path in peace and opulence.
1t is not too late to do them justice
In recognition of their sterling value
to the commonwealth. why not re-
&Ove the effigy of liberty from our
national coins and put that of the
wronged brewer in its place-say a
hog seated upon beer barrel. Thus
would justice be done, and a wrong
righted.
In Chicago the general tone of edi-
torial comment appeared to accept the
brewers professions as in good faith,
but with an undercurrent of justified
The Daily Meas concluded
its editorial with these words:
The brewers reproach the public
and the authorities acting in the name
of the public for permitting vicious
drinking resorts to exist The re-
proach is justified; it should be re-
membered and taken to heart with
suitable laws properly enforced and
backed by healthy public sentiment"
say the brewers, "such dsorderly. sa-
looms could be exterminated." True
Let the public authorities, the brewers
and the rest of us proceed to ex
terminate them.
The Record-Herald says:
1t is devoutly hoped that the Brew
ers' Association will tolerate no back
sliding or hypocrisy on the part of
any member and will translate its
sound resolutions into consistent, sys
tematic actions that mean tangible
and visible reforms. The public will
await actual results, and by such re-
suits test the genuineness of the con-
vention's protests and disclaimers.
The Toledo Blade discredits the sin
certify of the brewers entirely and says:
How far the brewers will go to
improve conditions in their own
household is question, but the fact
that they did nothing in that direc-
ton until driven in a corner robs
their new program of much of its

Gift with Strinq to II.

Up to six months ago the French
village of Gannat had neither DEBT
nor history. Then one day 1t re-
ceived a beQuest of $4,000. Now It
is about to issue its first loan, and
il has become one of the most talked
about towns in the republic.
Gannat was represented in the
chamber of deputies for a number
of years by a crusty old bachelor
M. Delarue. When M. Delarue died
the village council was delighted to
learn that the deputy had made the
town of his birth his sole heir. 1t
was some weeks later before it woke
up from its happy dream.
The testament of "Pere Delarue'
was hedged about with all sorts OF
Onerous conditions. In the first
place. il provided that monument
should be erected to his memory
There was a clause calling for the
construction OF museum and a pub
lie library destined to shelter the
testators works of art and numerous
books. Many of the books were in
bad condition. The village was re-
quired to see that they were all
properly bound. In spite of these
conditions matters were still bright
when the financial crisis struck the
money markets of the world. The
bequest of the village beneficiary
suddenly shrank to about one-half OF
its original value.
At the present writing the name OF
Delarue is the most unpopular In
Gannat. This unpopularity has been
increased by the fact that only halt
of the village bonds by which the
corporation hoped to complete the
museum and the library have thus
far been subscribed.

two patches on our Sunday trousers and
cleaning and pressing them We hung
them out to dry, An hour later we
found they had been stolen. This will
explain why we were not in our accus-
toned place in church on Sunday The
human being who will deliberately steal
pair of trousers from the editor of a

are his only pair for church going, de
serves worse fate than our indigna
ton will allow us to mention. 1t seems

going at three dollars! Three dol
lars. Going, going-gone!-to Doctor
Hartman"
The doctor started in surprise and
was about to protest, as the cage with
the parrot was brought forward and
placed with the other things he had
bought. Checking himself, however.
in order to avoid possible controversy
he accepted the situation without
comment He had not meant to buy
the bird, nor did he want It. 1t had for
him no association with Ann Motley;
for, in truth, according to the state
ment of the auctioneer, 1t was com
paratively recent acquisition. Never,
theless, it was now his; and thinking
to dispose Of 1t in time to some one
who might care for il, he had 1t taken
to his home with the other purchases
In the solitude Of his library, breath
ing now an atmosphere Of another
presence and of other days. he opened
her desk. With trembling hands and
with a disquieting sense OF profana'
ton, every drawer, every recess was
carefully, tenderly. explored; but his
search was fruitless. There was moth
ing-nothing for him; no message, no
word, no token, not even his own let
tiers, to comfort him with the belief
that she had retained some lingering
regard for his memory. Was it then true.
as his embittered soul had feared,
that she had gone without loving him,
without remembering, without forglV-
ing him?
He closed the desk and sank upon
his knees. A convulsiye sob shook
his bent frame: and, throwing himself
forward, he buried his face in his arms
upon the little rockingham that had
once been hers.
About him were the deepening shad-
ows of twilight and the hush OF even
tide. The old furniture of Ann Mot
lev. with its generations Of hallowed
memories, lent mellow sancuty 10
the stiffness of the room; and in the
enshrouding calmness, with the race
of sweet Ann Motley looking down up
on him from the desk beside him, his
heart poured forth its anguish in 81
lent. sobbing tears.
Then suddenly voice, low and
quavering afar off, broke softly upon
the Swallowed silence:
Grant, o Lord. that he may yet
come back to me and know that |
love and forgive him.
For a moment after the voice had
ceased the doctor remained motion
less. The slight fiutter OF wings and
the tapping of beak upon the bars
of a cage alone disturbed the ensuing
quiet. Then, raising his head, the doc
tor clasped his hands before him In
sudden fervency, and as his eyes were
lifted up to heaven, filled with the
light of strange awakening, smile
of illuminng peace shone upon his
countenance; and as spirit commun-
ing with spirit his face grew beautl-
full in the softening radiance or reveal
ton, and upon his parted lips there
trembled soul-uttered prayer
an answering message of love and

FOR saving that the states mentioned are
hopelessly for Taft. The influence OF
the labor vote is very likely to give
some of them to the Democrats. 1t Is
useless to mention the great ma]orities
given by New York for the lfepubll-

that there will be new deal this year
Besides New York has gone Democratic
since the late presidential election with
the exception of the Office of Governor.
In all the other States named the chang
