The German plan of compulsory life
insurance Is a far better way of pro-
yiding for that class of poor to the
extent that they are employed in any
regular trade. The German law re-
ouires that employers shall retain a
certain portion of the wages of each
employe, to which the employer adds
an equal amount. and passes II over
to the government, which invests It,,
and whenever the liability natures by
reason OF age, death OF disability, the
government adds varying amount up
to a maximum OF one-third the total
payment That is a better way than
the British plan. because 1t TO some
extent enforces thrift, or the appear
ances of thrift, and when the obliga-

as the result of his own effort and
saving. Nothing is so dangerous to So
ciety as the pauperlzation oi the
masses-that is to say, the Willingness
to accept money which one has not
consciously earned and saved. Moth

the moral stamina resulting from a
sturdy determination to care for one
self. When that is lost, tnnt which Is

SION.

Consul Isaac A. Manning, Of Car

government of Colombo has granted
a concession to nunber OF Colom'
bian citizens conveying to them the
exclusive privilege Of the manufacture
of denatured alcohol for a period Of
five years In the district of Bogota and
the department OF Cundinamarca.
The consul said:
Should the government issue rules
governing the manufacture OF dena-
tured alcohol. the concessionaires
must form a stock company within
ninety days from the approval of the
contract, October, %, 1908; but If the
rules do not issue within tnirty days,
then the contract period will be en-
tended for another year.
1t Is the desire of the Colombian
government that the growers and pro-
! ducers of cane sugar should interest
themselves In the manufacture of de-
natured alcohol, and with this end in
view they will be given the preference
in the sale of stock in the company to
be organized.
The government grants the new en-.
terprise freedom from all taxation,
national or municipal, as we'll as free
import of machinery, material, etc,
necessary for the manufacture Of Its
product. In consideration of this, how
ever, the government will snare in the

amount of 1-2 per cent the first
year; per cent the second; 10 per
cent the third; 20 per cent the fourth
year, and % per cent the fifth year.

er Cannon, which was referred to the
committee on ways and means, Mr..
Gates declares that these articles
should be on the free list and that a
cut of so per cent in the steel sche-
dule would not affect the manufacture

Mr.. Gates letter is dated at Port
Arthur, Texas, and reads as follows:
II notice n great deal Of evidence
Is being taken on tariff matters In
Washington. 1t seems to me that
there are three articles that ought to
be put on the free list-iron, coal and
lumber I have a large portion of my
fortune In the steel business. but I
say this to you, consclentiously and
candidly. A cut of 80 per cent in the
schedule would not hurt the manu-

EPIDEMIC MAY BE
AVOIDED AT MESSlNA

Washington. Jan. 6-"Judging from
modern instances, it does not seem
probable that any great epidemic Will
follow the earthquake in Italy" de-
clared Surgeon General Wyman OF the
marine hospital service, today The
mere decomposition Of bodies dead
from accident does not of itself give
rise to disease. In San Francisco at
the time of the earthquake, there was
no immediate outbreak OF any infecti-
GUS diseases. The sanitary condition
for awhile was bad and some ty-
phoid developed in the camps, but
conditions were rectified as soon as
possible and for time there seemed
to be no epidemic results from the
earthquake and fire.

Of the coyote.
With a few bottles Of strychnine. a
good supply of purified horse flesh
and number OF repeating rifles, the
little army of coyote-killers, sent out
by the ogden Wool Growers, expects
to obtain scalps enough TO bring JOY
10 the hearts OF all concerned.
The intelligence and cunning of the
western coyote should have attracted
some of our more gifted nature-story
writer's. A true story OF Adventures
With a Coyote" could be made moro
entertaining than many of the tales
of adventure with wild animals
which, lacking the essence oil truth
have brought down { the authors
the criticism of men like Roosevelt
A scare-crow will serve TO scare
on birds and many wild beasts. The
dummy will scare coyote once, but
when undcceIved the coyote Will use
the scare-crow to shield him from the
piercing eyes of the shepherd. An
inventive genius who was a herder
manufactured an automatic gun, which
discharged with loud report at reg
ular intervals He declared he had
solved the problem Of protecting the
herd. 1t worked with great success
for few nights, but when the coyote
had solved the mystery, he preferred
the noise to the bark of the collie
dogs and later ignored the automatic
explosions.
The latest and most effective appli'
ance for keeping the animal at dis
tance is can of burning sulphur. The
fumes will protect band of sheep
better than a herder.
The campaign of the Ogden wool
growers may be strengthened by all
the sheepmen in Utah and Idaho join,
Ing in the movement.
AS a further encouragement for
those who might hunt the coyote, 1t is
proposed to urge legislation In favor
of the restoration OF the bounty law
which was repealed following the
bounty frauds Of few years ago. The
sheepmen claim their industry is en-
titled to this protection and that the
increase in the number Of these de-
structive animals justifies their de-
mand for bounty law.

OLD AGE PENSIONS.

Beginning January 1, 1909, the Brit
ish government commenced the pay
ment of pensions Of from to shil-
llngs a week-the maximum paid only
to those with incomes from any
source not exceeding $105 a year-to
all British subjects over 20 years of
age who have not within twenty years
been convicted of crime or received
public relief, except medical aid, and
who can prove that their poverty mas
not been caused by misconduct and
that they have done their best to earn
money for the support Of themselves
and those dependent upon them, says
the Chronicle. The provisions OF the
bill defining those who are and those
who are not entitled to pensions are
complicated and are already leading
to disputes. Over 100000 applications
have been received and 1t is expected
that the number will reach 100000
and that the annual disbursement,
which is made through the posto0lces,
will be from s35,OOO,OOO to $50 1000. 900,
depending upon the average size of
the pension. The old-age pension"
Is evidently an attempt to differentiate

SOOTHING AT ROOSEVELT.

The United States senators who
are endeavoring to laugh Roosevelt
to ridicule delayed their attacks un-
til too late. The Presidents record
is made and Roosevelt stands secure
in the confidence Of the American
people
Theodore Roosevelts fearless atti-
tude has won for him the. admiration
OF the citizens of this country. In at
tachng corruption In high places, the
President brought down upon his head
the anathcmas OF powerful men.
THESE open insults are but the lat
est form of retaliation by those Of
Tended. First flattery was employed
TO ward off the attacks OF the Presi-
dent, then there was period of brow
beating and bulldoZing and finally rid
icule has been resorted to in an ef-
fort to make the President harmless.
But neither insults nor scoffing Will
deter Theodore Roosevelt In his labor
of righteousness, and In the end he
will be triumphant and his detractors
Will be unhorsed and unmasked.
Few realize the tremendous battle
which the administration has been
waglng against predatory wealth, or
the full Significance of the contest.
Only a man Of heart and soul like
Roosevelt would have ventured to defy
the power of corporate influence
which is capable OF corrupting by the
use OF money countless thousands of
American citizens and large part of
the press.

WAR is DECLARED.

cunning, with an acquired taste for
mutton, is increasing so rapidly In

high resolve to poison and shoot every
coyote within two hundred miles OF
Ogden.
John Spires of this city was made a
committee of one to equip camp
wagon with guns and poison and start
the coyote killers north from Garland
to the Idaho line, and, to meet the
expenses of this expedition, each
sheep owner was assessed $40. One
OF the contributors was asked IL $40
was not high price to pay for few
coyotes and the reply he made was q
surprising one. He said there are
more coyotes now than ever before
and the animals have increased in cum
ring until in a band of 1000 sheep
they succeed in killing an average OF
a sheep day, or 365 In a year, worth
over $1,000.

OF coyotes one-tenth. the SO is saved
