the Standard Oil company and the
United States steel corporation could
afford to pay the national debt for
such charter. and he said this inde-
pendent of whether such a bank would
be independently profitable or other
wise. The control of it. he main
tanned, would be valuable beyond the
power of man to conceive to any
group of men who had independent
financial interests large enough to
justify it and the ability necessary for
its operation.
Will it be proposed that the Presi.
dent appoint or congress elect the
board of governors of the bank? Mr..
Shaw's objection to this is that when
this is done the bank is made polit-
ical football, without preventing actual
control of the men who are to control
the bank. He went SO far as to say
that in his judgment the party which
fastens centralized financial power
upon this. country will never carry
another election. if, indeed, it ever
makes another nomination.

URBAN MAIL DELIVERY.

Folks who live in towns of few
thousand population will have all the
postal facilities of the people in the
great cities if bill introduced in
the house by Representative Griest
of Pennsylvania goes through. OF
course, it wis put the daily gatherings
and the combination general store
and post Office out of business, but
Mr.. Griest thinks the good people of
these heretofore neglected little
towns won't mind that, in their hap
piness of having their mail delivered
right to their front door.
The bill proposes the establish
ment of an urban mail delivery sery-
ice in towns where there are second
or third class post Offices, and it con-
templates a feature of the mail sery-
ice which may be viewed as an extern
sion of the rural delivery, while. in
fact, it also embodies the principles
of the city delivery service.

Heavy wheeling is largely respon-

twelve or fourteen coaches and sleep

William cieiland's Example.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: early
religious training is never amiss. 1t
lays up treasures where moth and rust
can not corrupt and where thieves do
not break through and steal. and oc-
casionally it declares dividends
in this world where moth, rust and
thieves, abound. William Clelland, the
Cherry miner whose singing of abide
With Me- and whose prayers and
sermons heartened his fellow prison
ers in that living tomb, doesn't talk
like a man used to regular attendance
at Sunday service and weekly pray
err meeting. Instead, he has talked
cal engagement at $500 a week, to
the effect that he has only been in
side of a church four times in more
than as many years, and then only
to attend funerals. He explains that
this attendance was compulsory under
| the rules of the coal miners union.
When asked to explain his recollection
of songs. prayers and scripture,
he said oh a fellow gets them
sort of things from his mother. They
never get occasion to use EN- much
except in times like that. Then they
come in handy like, you know"
When was a palmer tribute than
this paid to the old woman, she who
bore children and reared them in the
4 fear OF the Lord? The early reli-
| gious training of William Clelland
sank deep into his consciousness, as
it must sink into the consciousness OF
every normal boy and man. 1t may
be locked up in brain cell until
something throws open the cell door
and gives it voice. While the cell door
is shut, the boy and man who carries
{ it around with him may be scape
grace in his attractions Of the mora
code, but with this in him, even though
mute, he will feel a restraining in
! huence which will withhold him from
crime and black dishonor. William
Clelland was rarely seen at church
: but he was an honest man, because
, although never singing or praying Thu
!. song and prayer were in him H'
!, never had occasion to use EN- mucl
except in times like that Then the.
came in handy like, you know Blu
there they were, during all of thu
years, influencing hB life and char
acter by Withholding him from an,
; deadly sin, no matter how tempted
), mo doubt they came in handy like
: you know to William Clelland man
a time when he was not aware o
h it. A great catastrophe burst open tn
: brain cell door and they flowed out 4

q ing him hero. Long before that the

PUNISHMENT OF HA8iTuAL
CRIMINALS.

An important decision involving the
constitutionality OF legislation provid-
ing increased penalties for ha],itual
criminals has Just been rendered by
the supreme court of Washington. The
law in that state was attacked on
the ground of unconstitutionality. The
Washington supreme court decided
that while the habitual criminal stat
ute was a. thing of modern creation,
and there are many rules of law
which may seem inconsistent with
its purpose and the procedure adopted
to compass it, it is nevertheless sound
in principle and sustained by reason.
In its discussion of the matter the
court pointed out that aside from the
offender and his victim there is al
ways another party concerned In
every crime committed--the state
and it does no violence to any consti
tutional guaranty for the state to rid
itself of deprayity when its efforts
to reform have failed. The
court further held that the act Is not
ex post facto. 1t does not deny the
right of trial by jury. 1t does not put
the offender twice in jeopardy. Il
does not infiict a double punishment
for the same oifense, or inflict a crue
or unusual punishment, or impose
penalty for crime committed out
side of the state. 1t merely provides
an increased punishment for the las
offense. The spirit of the law is II
keeping with the acknowledged powel
of the legislature to provide mini
mum and maximum term within which
the trial court may exercise its dis
erection in fixing sentence, taking int
consideration, as it shorld always
the character of the person as wei
as the probability of reformation; 0
the legislature may take away all dis
erection and fix penalty absolute.

Whit. slavery and publicity.

Jacksonville Courier: False modes
ty should not prevent free and open
discussion of the white slave traffic.
1t not only is more horrible than was
the black slave traffic, but its pros
pective victims can only be saved
through the arousal of public opinion.
Every decent and high minded man
and woman should Lave a converse
tional acquaintance with the subject.
1t should be discussed in the columns
of the press, from the rostrum and
the pulpit, in the clubs and societies
and made so much topic of general
information that 1t cannot be side
stepped. 1t should be forced to the
front until no legislator nor federal,
state nor municipal Officer may be ig-
norant of the state Of the public mind
White slavery Is as good name for
it as any and is good appellation
to use in referring to the sacrifice OF
girlish souls upon the altar of greed
for it is greed and greed alone which
/ induces men and women to engage in
4 the hellish traffic. And every infiu.
ence possible should be brought tc
bear to lead legislators to enact laws
! which will make pandering felony
with the heaviest possible punishment
attending. A life term of hard labor
with bread and water fare would be
none too severe to infiict upon ths
man Or woman who drove, coaxed Of
seduced into a life of shame your
daughter, my daughter. our neighbour
daughter.
White slavery is the crime of thu
age. Compared with it, almost al
crimes, save that of the ravisher

THE WORLDS CORN KING.

The real corn king of the world,
according to Hampton's magazine, re-
sides near Whiteland, in johnson
county, Ind. His farm consists OF $50
acres. and he gets up at 5 o'clock
every morning. His name is Leonard
B. Clore A dozen years ago Mr.. Clore
began to specialize in corn. Today he
sets the worlds pace in this cereal
We are indebted to the Springfield
Register for an interesting summary
of his operations.
The Clore family very. nearly keeps
house with the fathers corn prizes.
In the list is everything from a ma
nure spreader to piano, including
watch, clock, stove, mandolin, lawn
swing, an automobile, quarter sec-
ton of land in Texas and $1,000 cash
prize. One of the incidentals Is sill
yer loving cup valued at $1,000.
Mr.. Clore decided a few years ago
that instead of spending so much time
in improving their land. the corn
growers should give more thought to
improving their breed of corn. All
his efforts have been in that direction.
In a specially built barn he germin-
ates the corn in boxes of earth kept
at the right temperature in early
spring by gasoline stoves. Thus he
knows before planting what percent
age of the grains will terminate. Two
ears OF corn may look alike but the
/ vitality of one may be much higher
than that of the other Mr. Clore is
also a Judge of what it takes to make
perfect ear; selecting the best ears
each fall and planting the hardest
grains in the spring, he has in great
way eliminated chance in corn growing
He raises from eighty to 100 bushels
of corn per acre. The average this
year is ninety bushels. There is about
twenty bushels more than before he
began his experiments. but, in add
ton. the quality of his corn has great
w improved. What he has done fol
Indiana. where his methods are fol
lowed, may be seen by the fact tina
the average yield for the past ten
years is thirty-five bushels, while owe
the corn belt of the United States TO
the same period it is only %. Experi
