else Of the police power.
II the federal government should
undertake in this manner to make
state and local laws effective there
would be no good reason for drawing
the line at laws prohibiting the sale of
liquor. As we have already said, the
federal government could with equal
propriety enforce local laws against
the sale of cigarettes, cocaine, firearms
or any other Objectionable transaction,
and even follow it up by enforcing the
election laws in the southern states,
where the rights of American citizen
ship are constantly denied. When the
federal government does all these
things the old democratic idea of
states rights will have become merely
a tradition and a remembrance.

Speeding Up.

This has been called an age of la
~bor-saving machinery. 1t might more
properly be called a time-saving age.
The many inventions which ave labor
have for their object greater speed
fully as much, if not MORE, than the
saving of labor. The railroads spend
millions in equipment to reduce the
running time. Large sums are ex-
pended to build ocean steamers to clip
a few hours from the number required
in crossing the ocean and people pay
handsomely for the privilege of riding
on the faster boats. Buildings which
formerly required years to erect are
now completed and occupied in
months.
In all lines of human endeavor this
speed goal is manifest. 1t is not alone
the man whose business is urgent who
takes the fast trains and the fast boats.
They are sought just as eagerly by
those on pleasure bent, with whom
time is no object except the consuming
NColAO lOI bpOChs IL 10 IA oohO "oJ
with our sports. The ball magnates
at the close of every season meet and
seek to devise means of cutting a few
minutes from the time required to
play a game. The automobile is sup
planting the horse as a pleasure We
hicle chiefly for the reason that it re-
spends to the speed mania.
Can the pace be continuously quick
ened? The question is not new, but
rather as old as the time when man
trained the dumb beasts to his use or
holsted a sail to expedite the slower
oars. The developments of speed have
been more rapid in recent years than
ever before and the speed limit must
some time be reached, but Just at pres
ent there are no signs of more than
temporary let up.

Morals in Business.

During the current year the senior
class of Sheffield Scientific school at
Yale has listened to a series of six lee
lures on Morals in Modern Business"
delivered by practical business men OF
large experience, and now printed in
book form. These lectures deal with
various aspects of the subject, the
progress that has been made in apply
ing ethical principles to business, the
treatment of employees and of custo-
mers, the uses and abuses of competi-
ton, the necessity of credit and conf
dence, public service business and the
relation of corporations and trusts to
business. The fact that such a course
should be established and supported
In an institution devoted to liberal ed
ucation Is in itself evidence of ~salutary
interest in the subject, and the view
taken by the speakers is, on the whole,
one of hopeful progress toward higher
standards.
More and more in theory and more
slowly in practice 1t is becoming recog-
nized hat moral principle applies as
fully to conduct in business as in other
relations among men and is as neces-
sary to soundness and permanency;
and this implies due regard to the
rights and interests of individuals,
communities and classes. The senti-
ment has found voice in the laws reg
ulating the railroads, the antitrust
laws, the pure food regulations and
various statutes to hold in check those
whose lack of moral principle leads
them to use power to impose unjust
burdens upon their fellow men. Labor
unions and trade organizations are q
forceful protest, in their inception at
least, against the unfair dealing which
ignores the moral standards. The
growing tendency to frown upon men
who conduct business by unfair means
is a corrective movement, and that it
has drawn to itself many of the strong
and intelligent, as we'll as the weak
and ignorant, is an omen of real striv-
ing for a higher plane.

Memorial Day.

The line Of blue. once 1000, 900
strong, is disappearing with the pass
ing years, and the present Memorial
day finds IL but a scant remnant of the
once magnificent army. The veter-
ans step is no longer elastic nor his
eye so bright, but his n~ever-failing pa
triotism lives again in another genera
ton, which has learned the lesson of
Memorial day in it's deeper sig
nifcance.
The veteran who survives has seen
the elimination of the struggles and
privations of those strenuous years of
civil warfare. When Lee surrendered
to Grant at Appomattox the political re-
union of the country was accomplished,
but the bitterness of the strife was too
close to make the union more han
form. Time has healed the Wounds
and hidden the scars or our years of
fierce and sanguinary strife between
brothers and the hopes and aspirations
of the man in blue have found full
fruition in a country united in spirit,
sympathy and brotherhood, with COM
mon aims and common hopes.
Memorial days tribute to the soldier
dead and praise for the living does
credit to their descendants, but it is a
poor homage to the veteran which
loses sight of the real object of the OBJ
servance, the incubation of the lesson
of a patriotism which is willing to sac
rifice as they did. We car honor them
best by perpetuating the union, teach
ing the supremacy of law, aiding in the
uplift of humanity and making and
keeping this country, in fact, the land
of the free, where the rights and hber-
ties of all are respected and preserved.
Such a country will never lack for de-
tenders no matter what the foe.

States Rights Again.

While Mr.. Bryan seems to have sub
sided with his proposal to make the
federal government refuse to collect in
internal revenue taxes on the sale OF
liquor in territory which is voted dry,
Edgar Howard comes back to defend 1t
with a composite of contradictions and
COMMISSIONS that make the case worse
instead of better. Admitting that the
point is well taken that the federal
government does not and cannot
license" the selling of liquor any
where except in the District of Column
bia and territories directly subject to
congress, Judge Howard sidesteps by
saying, "No one claims that the ma
tional government issues licenses to
sell liquor" Just read over again Mr..
Bryan's letter t. the Florida legisla-
ture, in which he distinctly and DELHI
erately speaks about the government
disseminating "the issue of licenses for
the sale of liquor"
Making this vital concession, how
ever JuuSt IlONdIu CUES bu " uSCldie
that 1--WE oppose the issue of liquor
permits in dry territory by the national
government on the same ground that
we oppose the issue of injunctions
against state laws by federal
courts" 1t will take a Phila-
delphia lawyer to find m re-
semblance here. Wherever the fed
eral courts issue injunctions against
state laws they prohibit the state off,
cials from enforcing the state laws,
while in the case of the collection of
internal revenue taxes on liquor selling
the federal government not only leaves
the state and local officials free to en-
force their laws and regulations, but
makes a record which they can use for
that purpose If they want to.
Judge Howard says that "all we are
asking is that the national government
keep hands of and let the people of a
state. town or o.nty manage their
own affairs" If the federal govern
ment should refuse to collect taxes on
liquor selling in dry territory and TO
punish infraction of the revenue laws
by those who sell In defiance il would
be doing exactly what Edgar Howard
is protesting against-in a word, the
federal government would be enforcing

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT

FLOWERS FOR THE BRAVE.


Minna Irving in Leslle's Weekly.
Flowers for the soldier dead today,
The lilac's purple plumes
From old New E~,nglanh's gardens sweet,
Where late the springtime blooms,
All jeweled with the morning dew
or heavy with the rain,
For him who wore a coat of blue
When numbered with the slain.
Flowers for the heroes laid to rest,
From Dixie's heart aglow
With golden summers burning suns,
Magnolia buds of snow,
To whisper to the dust below
In uniform on gray,
A message from the hooking bird
That sings so far away.
Flowers for the nations true and brave,
The gallant souls that bore
The Stars and Stripes to victory
Upon a foreign shore
For them the real and fragrant rose
OF all the blossoms queen,
from the west a spray OF pine
To keep their memories green.
Flowers for the Unions cherished dead,
And over them unfurled
The glorious flag of liberty,
The fairest In the world.
For peace has turned to spades and hoe!
The bayonets and guns,
And North and South as brothers meet
Beside their buried sons.

BOILED DOWN.

Appetite is a poor exegesis on the com
mandments
The honesty that advertises itself is usu-
ally for sale.
Faith always means f~orsaking some
seeming good.
The good life is known by something be-
side its goods.
Blessed are the boosters for they shall
not need boosting.
Those hearts are best guarded that are
most open to others.
You can never persuade others beyond
your own convictions.
Freedom means the right to a volun-
tary part in the good of all.
Taking pleasures as they come is happi-
ness; running after them is misery.
Many put a thousand lives in danger
rather than hurt the feelings Of one.
Where the life is consumed in loves
sacrifice the halo takes care of itself.
People who run after trouble always
blame Providence when they catch it.
Most men who start out to pay a flying
visit to sin acquire the right to vote there.
II this seems to be a heartless age the
only thing to do is to put your own heart
into It.
There's a lot of difference between be-
lieving a thing and believing that YOU be-
lleve it.
Many a man wrecks his ship because he
spends all the time in the hold with his
freight.
There are too many trying to prove their
love for the good news by telling all the
bad news
Many are willing to wear the Christian
armor provided there is nothing but a pa
rade in s~ight.-Chicago Tribune.

French Unions and Politics.

1t was manifest at its outbreak that
the recent French postal strike was
more of a political than a labor dis
turbance. Now comes the admission
of this fact from the labor unions
themselves in the practical disruption
of the old central organization. The
announced reason for the split is that
labor men have discovered they were
being used for political purposes when
the objects Of their organization were
all for the economic betterment of
their condition.
The political divisions in France
differ so greatly from those in the
United States that there is little
for comparison. Primarily there are
republicans, monarchists, ~imperialists
and socialists. Each in its turn is
divided into groups lacking in cohe-
sion. The labor union membership
of necessity includes some in each of
these parties and groups, but consti-
tutes a majority of none except per-
haps the socialists. Under such condi-
tions it has proved disastrous to per-
NIT the unions to be used to further
the intrigues of either party, as such
a policy aligned against them the solid
influence of all the others.
Labor must at all times appeal to
the popular sense of fairness as a
matter of economic justice. 1t is evil
IDENTIFY the realization of this that has
impelled the labor organizations to
break away from mere political lead
ers. Nothing but the impetuosity of
the French could have led them into
such a controversy, but the saving
quality of the nation Is that the

The value of the total output or the
combined meat packers is shown by
comparison to be greater than the
gross sales OF the United States Steel
corporation, which in its biggest year.,
1907, reached $75T,000,00 While
the amount of business done by the
meat packers is something ~stupendous,
the percentage of profits turns or a
small margin, best estimates making
it not to exceed 3 per cent of the
gross sales. These figures, so far as
they refer to one well-known estab-
lishment, are c~orroborated by the ex-
hibits made in a recent statement Of
fering a bond issue. which is 10 be-
ing placed, although that statement
showed that the volume of business
for 1908 had shrunk quite a little
from what 1t had been in the preced-
ing year of 1907.
The meat packing industry comes
directly home to the people of this sec
ton of the west, because it takes the
raw material of the farm and ranch
and transforms 1t into a finished food
product. 1t would be interesting to
know, If it could be ascertained, how
much OF the value of the packing
house output OF nearly $500, 900 900 a
year is returned to the farmer and
stock raiser and to what extent the
latter have proited by the o~rganiza-
ton OF the meat slaughtering business
at central stations where it can be
most economically handled. While
the packers have developed a tremen-
dous industry. they have likewise rev.
olutionized the live stock business at
the same time and put it on an en-
tirely new and hrmer basis.
