Be Indicted for Treason.
Washington, May In the senate
Senator jeff Davis of Arkansas moved
to discharge the committee on the
judiciary from the further considera-
ton of his bill "for the suppression of
trusts, pools and combinations in
trade" He spoke for about two hours,
reading most of the time from type
written statement, which, he said, he
had prepared in advance that no in
temperate language might escape his
lips on this OCCASION" a thing which
he said he had never done before. I
During his speech he roundly de-
nounced the trusts, commended the
presidents recent message outlining
measures for relief, spoke of the re-
moval of the motto, I'm God We
Trust" from the coins and declared
that John D. Rockefeller, the Stand
ard OIL company and J. Pierpont Nor
gan should be indicted for treason
He also paid his respects to the press,
his remarks in that connection being
as follows:
Let scavengers Of plutocracy howl;
truth. Gods living truth, where are
its defenders? Miserable travesties
upon noble manhood, postgraduates In
ali arts Of SANDER or defamation,
challenge the subsidized press; the
people know your designs and spurn
your pretense. whether under show of
argument or more servient hypoc-
risies. Col Damnable imps Of pelf
and greed, I defy your taunts! Tear
to fragments my political career if it
comport with your execrable will.
stihe and distort my every utterance.
Not satisfied,
If Such Be Your Brutal Frenzy,
lash my poor form into insensibility.
Then, If it be your further pleasure,
gnaw from my stiffening bones every
vestige of quivering flesh. Howl In
wretched bestiality through my own
innocent blood as it drips from your
fiendish visages. Drag then, If you
want, what remains into the filth and
the vermin of your foul dens and burn
it upon the altar of Baal or scatter it
before the friendly winds of heaven
to your bstters-the carrion crows of
The field. All that they may do, all
and more, if there yet be open further
depth of infany to polluted, besot-
ten press. These ready servants of
greed, what have they not done or at
tempted to fasten still more securely
an autocracy upon us? 1t seems to
be their special function, not simply
to pervert truth, but to threaten and
terrorize public men. Dare senator
align himself with the people? What?
Yes, men, 1llustrious servants of the
people have lifted honest voices here
and elsewhere against the march of
plutocracy, to fall ambushed, polit-
ically assassinated, and by whom? BY
the trusts wearing masks. All, sir,
newspaper masks. But, Mr.. President,
Insignificant as am I, if my political
career be marked let them sharpen
their blade, for I will be here at the
appointed hour and while here only
God can stay my voice in behalf of
organized, united labor and the yeo-

Some Fast-Day Superstitions.

In Armenia, fasts, both of necessity
and of choice, are very general, and
strictly observed. The most common
length of time for abstinence from
food Is seven days.
Throughout this long period the Ar
menians, imbued with religious fever,
partake OF no food. Only in the case
OF the young unmarried woman Is
any concession allowed.
The young men, on the seventh day
OF their fast. are allowed, by old and
sacred custom. to eat little cake, free
ly mixed with salt.
BY this means dreams or pure,
sparkling, fresh water will be certain
to visit the young man.
A strange superstition is connected
with these visions. The dreamer Will
see maiden approach the stream
and carry him jug, filled
to m with ling water.
Tie dream maid will the girl
whom Fate has d. shall
| marry.
This strange superstition is found In
Armenia wherever the habit OF fast
ing is observed, and 1t is believed In
with the utmost faith by the unmar
ried men.

A man may be ignorant in nine Ian
guages; he may have conned the &C

and yet be uneducated; he may read
the works Of the wise men Of the

may garner q huge collection Of facts
and yet avail himself Of none of them
Education does not consist of knowl
edge, nor Of learning mere facts, moi
even Of the exercise Of the reason IN
connection with the facts and the
knowledge. Roger Ascham limited al
the right education when he said Of
the Improbable exercises Of ths
schoolmen Of the middle ages that
they were always learning and little
profiting; their whole knowledge wal
tied only to their tongue and lips, and
never ascended to the brain and head.
That education is alone the real edu

the nature, an addition to human pow

A German scientist, DR.. Emil Konie,
has lately undertaken to prove that
In highly civilized countries man has
abused his constitutional strength,
and consequently is more susceptible
to disease than he was in earlier
times. There is obviously something
to be said for this averment, but, con-
sidered as a whole, the facts do not
bear It out
II Is unquestionably true that az
civilization advances human life be-
comes more complex, and the pres.
sure upon a mans physical resources
tends to become more intense. II 10
also true that certain forms OF disease,
such, for instance, as cancer and cart
weakness, appear to be more preva-
lent than they were century ago
we say appear" because only in a
comparatively recent period have the
statistics of mortality and its causes
been trustworthy and exhaustive.
The official records Of Geneva, which
have been kept carefully for long
period, prove that the average dura.
ton of human life is materially great.
er than II was $50 or 100 years ago
Not only the average length of human
existence, but the retention of physical
and intellectual vigor, or what is
called the prime of life, tends to be
prolonged. The age limit of useful
