To show the difficulty of legislat- ing on the liquor question reference may be made to Connecticut. They have a law in that State which al- lows a licensed saloon for every five hundred inhabitants in a town or city. The New Haven Register thus speaks of 1t:
 Now the saloons licensed at present in New Haven are presumed to be whatever they actually are--law abid- Ing. Who shall take the responsibil. ity of selecting from the whole mum been decided that you must go out Of the business?" It is a responsibility which the commissioners, upon whom the selection would naturally fall. do not care to take. It is contingency which those who agitate for reduction of the number of saloons, and would even reduce 1t to one for each l.00O population, do not seem to, provide against.
 Now. the latest census reports gave the population at 1Os.OOO. Say 1t has 10000 population; that would allow the city to have 22O licensed saloons: yet the plain reference to be drawn from The Registers figures Is that there are now 4l6 doing business in the city. That Is what we should call liberal allowance of liquor. even in Connecticut.
 But the main point we have in view Is the difficulty of impartial1y enforcing a law on the subject of the liquor traffic. The law limiting the saloons to one for each 500 inhabitants was passed at the late session of the Legislature. Previous to that enact ment we infer that there was no finn 1t to the number that might be 1i- censed. Now, as The Register points out. if the law is to be enforced 1t will be the duty of the proper ap- thorities. when 1t Is found that city or town has more saloons than khe

 Femininity is not cult in any city except supremacy In fashions. The cult of femi- ninity has never ben cultivated so absolutely as U has been cultivated in Paris. Woman Is the religion of Paris. The Parisians wor- ship nothing but woman. They worship her substitute for every other form of remaining escape from reality. Paris is the city of cynics. It is the metropolis of dts- illusion. It has lost faith in every ideal ex- cept the ideal of feminine allurement. It has no illusions except the illusion of beau ty. It cltngs to that last illusion with pa- 1t demands an everlasting refinement of re- finement. The natural crudity of woman must be yelled with mystery, and the whole art of fashion Is the creation of feminine mystery. Clothes are used not as an en- velope but an evasion. To be dowdy Is to of feminine outline and boise and idiosyn- crasy. No sensitive woman can walk down the Rue de la Paix without feeling anxious about the hang of her skirt, the angle of her hat, the harmony Of her color scheme, the fit of her shoo~, the propriety of her only city which makes woman fear day light.
 It Is the fierce glare of criticism which makes Paris the dictator of the worlds fashions If a woman is not elegant in Paris she is an eyesore. London stares at woman. In London woman is either pret- ty or plain; in Paris even the plain woman is pretty. Partslenne as rule. Is not beautiful. and perhaps that Is why the cult of elegance is so universal in Paris. In bad job. but in Paris a plain woman makes the best of a bad business and outwtts na- ture by the ingenuity Of art.

Forests and Rain.

washington Star.
 Acting on the advice of W. C, Mendenhaii, of the Government Bureau of Conservation at Washington. who has been spending sew eral weeks ct Honolulu investigating the wFsas resources of Hawaii. the Government is pA-nning to carry out test which will attract attention throughout the world, This will be the setting aside of an island for the purpose of determining whether the lack or the presence of vegetation, and foliage has water in rain.
 The island picked out is Kahoolawe. son,s eight miles off the southwest coast of Maui. coDtaiing about fifty square miies This island has been leased e sheep ranch for & number of years and has been run so as la be absolutely denuded of vegetation, Al- though years ago 1t was heavily wooded The lease of the island will shortly expire and wil not be renewed.
 What Mendenhali advises and what will he carried out is this: The island will be studded with hydroEraphic stations and a careful and systematic record kept of the rainfall In it's present arid state. As soon as the land reverts to the Government a system- atic reforesting will be inatHuted and the rainfall observatione kept up. If the precIp- itation increases in proportion to the growth of the new forests 1t will be concluded that the forests the cause of the increase.
 This will be the first really extenSive ex. pertinent ever carried on In the world to determine the relation between forests and rainfall. and Is bound to be watched hy hy- drographers with the greatest interest.

TUESDAY. NOVEMBER ?, lsee.
A CURIOUS CONDITION.

Az we learn from The Hartford courant conditions have arisen in the rural regions about Torrington. Conn. which may bring about complications. not to mention unpleasant conse- ouences. It seems that the rural dwelIers in that region have grown fired of having their lands made a sort Of grazing ground for city peo- pie and other outsiders and propose to put an end to 1t. To accomplish this object they have formed combina- tion and given notice that they will arrest or cause the arrest of any man found trespassing on their land. This not only includes hunters and fisher men but takes in any one found gath sring fruits or nuts without permits nion.
 At first thought this may appear 6 sort of selfish and small business. but iN 1t really so? Does not the owner of land also own whatever grows on ifs Are not the huckleberries. the grapes the chestnuts. the hickory nuts and all other kinds of nuts or fruits as much the property of the land owner as the corn and vegetables he raises? In many cases the crops an these uncuitivated vines. bushes and trees form a really important part of the income of New England farmer. and why should any one gath CT them without leave?
 But there Is another side to the question. and one that puts a differ ent face on it. As The Courant re- marks "it is easy to imagine the wrath of the city property holder if he should find a resident of the rural districts gathering flowers on his city lawn. picking his city-grown fruit. taking fish out of his fountain, and breaking off his gate so as to get in quicker. And yet the average city resident when he gets out into the country expects to gather the nuts from the trees on the farms he passes. to pick up what fruit attracts him, to fish in whatever waters are not post ed and to break down a fence or leave down pair of bars; so long as he Is through and does not have to come back that way what reason for bothering over the bars?"
 This is quite a different matter, 1t must be admitted. but is there any fault in the logic of it? Many resi- dents of cities have their little lawns and vacant lots on which they grow fruits and some varieties of nuts, and if countryman should come along and proceed to gather whatever pleas ed him we can ina zine the displeas- ure of the owner. and 1t is not diff cult to imagine the arrest and pun ishment of the trespasser but where is the difference in principle? One. just as much as the other. would be taking that which does not belong to him. and which he has neither the Ie- gal nor the moral right to appropriate to his own use. Are not the Tor rington people acting clearly within their rights?
The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-11-02

at present mention. It would show how the white man of the South has assisted the negro since he became free Tn every real endeavor he has made to improve his moral and material con dttion. 1t will show how the negro has assisted in the matter of saving money buying land and going Into business how he has been protected in time of trouble and asserted in q hundred ways of which the outside world has no that the world should know and re- cognize.
 In planning for. such an exposition I would strongly urge that each State, in addition to what the colored people themselves might do. and in addition to what the National Government might be called upon to do, should make an appropriation for an exhibit of the progress of the negro people of that State: Such an exposition should be held at some central point in some Southern State, which could be easily reached by people from every part of the country.
 Especially at the present time, when the people of Europe are grappllng as never before with the African prob lem with a view of solving 1t. I mes lieve that we could make an exhibit that would set them such an example black people of Africa, in which the Southern people are quite as much in- terested. as any other portion of the world.
 I mention these facts here because. while not overlooking the frequent cases of friction between the races and not attempting to minimize the injus- tice which the negro in the South fre- quentiy suffers. I think I do not ex- aggerate when Iisay there Is not par allel case in, the world where two races so dissimilar in. origin and in charac- ter. and so large in number. are liv- ing side by side so peacefully and suc- cesfully as is true of the negro and the white man in the Southern States.
 It may be urged that there have been great many expositions of various kinds. 1t may be said in reply that this will be one so entirely different in character from every other, so unique. in fact. that believe the country will feel that there is real occasion for 1t, and will support 1t.
 In order to have an exposition that will do credit to all concerned 1t will be necessary to begin at an early date to make preparations. but as I have said, l should not desire to take a prominent part in this matter unless I felt certain that all the people of both races would lend their hearty support to the project.

The Mullet In Gulf Waters. pa soa oo11ia Chronicle

The mullet has always attracted a Roodly share of attention. His fame is not circumscribed by the boundaries of the Gulf. Whether the visitor be from the Atlantic or the Pacific coast. or from the shores of the Mediterran- can. or the Baltic, he wants to see. examine, and feast on the mullet
 He Is the best known fish that swims Some have a prejudice against him. but like all feelings of this nature. 1t rests on an unsubstantial foundation. Ii cannot bear investigation. for the mullet plays a greater part in appeas- ing the craving for sea foods than any fish that inhabits the waters of the Gulf. He Is here in summer and win ter. in fall and in spring. When the fisherman contemplates his plight. when luck Is against him. and feel ing of depression creeps over him. the mullet always ready to give him a helping hand. rushes into his seine and contributes to his fortune and to the gastronomic pleasure of the thousands of people to whom they are shipped. He Is a regular standby. Tn prosperity and in diversity he is always here in abundance
