that he had no thought of having a

To be metaphoricaI, Wakelee serves
as the light cavalry of the majority.

STATE CARE OF THE MEBRA1Es.

1T lis fair to SAL that the Legislature, at least FOR several years to come
will entertain n 10 proposition Tor the establishment of a State inebriate asylum,
an institution that would Dor make serious inroads on the States financial
intended Il remedy. In the judgment of practical men coddnng is not the most
effective way to reform the drunkard. Spare the rod and spoil the child is
a n axiom in child discipline 1t is the tendency of sumptuary laws to do that
by these enactments. Every nan is possessed of ONE amount of will; most
men are not lost to personal pride, while fear Of som severe punishment is a
restraint upon the average man. A law that shall appeal to these qualities in
men would be effective. If habMual drunkenness vas made surely ant severely
punishable by the law, giving the magistrate n % discretion, the example of a
fewTconvicuons would have the deterrent effect desired. Punishment would
impose a salutary restraint upon the inebrate He would lot care for a repe-
uton OF. the dose. Reform would be accomplished through a wholesome earo IF
consequences. A State institution for inebrates should, therefore, be a prison
and workhouse. with such hospital features Is are necessary to restore the
inepriates to their normal condition and fit them to serve put sentences to hard
labor. .4

James J. Hill is talking a good
deal these days about us as an
extravagant nation, and it is true.
Compared with the nations of
Europe our standards of necessities
are pretty nearly the standards of
luxury. 1t is to be feared that we
spend money foolishly, almost for
the mere pleasure of spendingmoney.
There is vein of extravaganza
running through our economic life.
Our kitchens are wasteful because
we spend so much on foods which
taste well but have no particular nour
ishing qualities to recommend the
expenditure, our children spend mon
ey with freedom which will require
a large income to keep up the same
pace in later life, and our business
is often run on a lavish scale, while
dress and amusements nearly cause
a run on the bank of the well-to-do
family, When we learn to get our
moneys worth as we eXpend it,
we will have gone long way toward
a more permanent prosperity for
this country, for no one denies that
we have more ability as money get
tiers than as money savers.
