Der of the municipal government who
had been in Japan, and can speak the

che is a milk inspector, and mis- duty
is, under the law, to see that no i'm
pure milk Is sold in the city. II the
milk Is all right he will let the milk
man pass on; otherwise, he will ar

What is impure milk?"

"Oh, no; it impairs the quality.
that's all"
Does water in milk make anybody
sick?"
why. of course not. But when a

Soon after they passed q low corner

the Japanese.

SEEDS OF BAD GOVERNMENT.

The men higher up" In politics SOW
seeds of bad government, Of which
men higher up in business reap the
sordid fruits.
An illustration was given at Albany
last winter by Elihu Root. United
States Senator from New York, when
he argued against the referendum.
Appealing to the legislators not TO be
allured into allowing the people, their
principal, articulate expression in pub
lie affairs, he said: Whenever You
take away (legislatlye) powers, you
weaken Clegislative) responsibility,
So Senator Root would weaken the
responsibility of the people by tax
ing away their power He would have
the people delegate governing author
ity TO agents. and be outside Of and
consequently Indifferent 10 the gov
ernment themselves. He would make
them apathetic subjects. not inteIli-
gent citizens wide awake in affairs
of state and by initiative and refer
endum compelling their agents to re-
spond TO their corporate will
1t was the same Mr. Root, then Sec
retary Of state of the United States,
who made the suggestion. imputing
dishonesty to the United States su-
preme court, that constructions OF
the constitution would be found" etc
This did more to undermine the re.
spect of the people for the august
tribunal than patriotic and courageous
attacks on It's reactionary decisions.
Richard Olney has afforded another
illustration like that by Senator Root,
Mr.. Olney was President Cleveland's
cabinet officer, and as a member Of
the Democratic party is supposed TO
differ from Mr. Roots party in prin-
ciple. But only recently in address
ing the Massachusetts legislature he
said: For the Legislature of the CONF
monwealth to leave the question Of
BoSton's future charter government
TO arbitrament of fraction of the
voters OF the state would be an abGi-
cation of It's functions and a practical
refusal to perform one of the most
important trusts committed to it,"

should be at liberty TO do this accord
ing as the city. by vote of its citizens,
regards the charter as flt or unfit for
its needs as city. This would not
supplant the legislature: it would CO.
operate with 1t. What Mr. Olney was
proposing was that the city of Boston
should be deprived of the essential
democratic right of independence, OF

That Is the way the governor OF

may be horrible to the brewer, 1t
certainly is source of satisfaction

that prohibition in Kansas is failure
and that the pro rata Of drunkenness
Is greater than In the states permit
ting open saloons. Is such a silly, pitt
full falsehood that it does not even
merit the dignity Of a plain denial"
writes the governor

in prohibition territory to decry the
law and It's results and to make those
results appear as unfavorable as pos
sible. Happily. fashions in govern

When the working class pays rent
1t does not pay taxes. The proof IS
that, even if the taxes on real estate
were abolished, the working class
would still have to pay the identical
rent. The landlord fixes the rent He
fixes it, no. with any taxes in mind.
He fixes 1t according to the demand
for housing. Then come the taxes
which are imposed according to the
price of the property. So that the
tax comes out OF the rent which the
landlord collects. and which he would
pocket wholly if there were no tax.

taxes had moi yet been published in
