AN ECONOMIC PRoRLEM.

That our civilization gives too little
attention to the under dog is appar-
ent enough when the under dog is in
creasing in number and misery as the
cities become more populous and more
wealthy.
The Providence Journal has surprised
the reading public Of New England
by its revelations Of the harsh man
ner the very poor are dealt with in
this raw and variable climate Of ours.
1t has disclosed the fact that in that
city 200 tons of coal in paper bags at
ten cents a bag are being sold weekly
and that the price to the poor is nearly
SIS a ton, or twice the regular price
by the ton
a Providence coal dealer, talking
upon this subject, is quoted by The
Journal as having said:
when you consider that 10000 peo-
pie have carried home a 10-cent bag
of coal during the past week, it opens
your eyes to the extent Of this re-
tail business.
These small consumers have no
legal protection from paying an ex-
cessive price for their coal. No law in
our state covers the paper bag of
coal The purchaser Of 1O0-pound lots
or more is protected by the act which
declares that coal in quantities of 100
pounds or more, shall be sold by
weight Basket coal is also covered
by specified dimensions Of the bas-
kets, every one of which must be
sealed by the official sealer.
The man who buys by the ton gets
1000 pounds for $7.25. The man who
buys coal by the paper bag is paying
a rate varying from so to SIS a ton,
depending on how much coal and what
kind is in the bag"
The protection Of the law should
certainly be extended to these small
and very much abused buyers.

CIRCULATION
PREPAREDNESS FOR WAR.

The president, and perhaps a ma
iority Of the people of the country,
believe In the military spirit and ex-
travagance of the age and sincerely
think that It represents the ounce Of
prevention which is of 50 much more
consequence than the pound Of cure.
According to figures presented for
1903 our navy is to cost S135, 900, 600.
In 1907 the navy expense was $97,12S,-
400, and the war department laid out
3l1R,576, ass, a total of S209, 704,934. If
the army bill for 1909 increases in
proportion TO the navy bill this peace
full republic will be taxed just ABOUT
$300.00o,00o for its machinery Of war
on a peace footing, or $4,000 900 more
than It cost IN 1898 to fight Spain.
Capitalized at five per cent, the
outlay for 1909 represents an inrtst-
ment OF $4,000, 100000, or more than
three times the entire value of all
merchandise exported from the United
States during 1907.
There Is no Disgusting the fact that
these figures show that fear is still
figuring as q more active force in
the world than love, and that we keep
our religious principles more for show
than Cor practice.
When any nation is spending twice
as much to hold imaginary foes at
bay than 1t is expanding for educa-
ton. or for the religious or the moral
betterment OF the people, It is not
showing a condition among men which
compares with our professions of high
civilization and having greater wis
dom than our forbears.

THE ASSESSORS TERRoRlzEp.

The state officials of Massachusetts
have been trying to equalize the ta7,
lists so that the burdens of taxation
shall bear equally upon the man of
small and large estates alike, and they
are having no easy time in forcing
the assessors to be men and to do
their duty.
The assessors of Methuen intimate
why they are unwilling" says the
Taunton Gazette, ito make Millionaire
Searles pay the tax suggested by the
state officers: They are afraid that
he will move across the line into New
Hampshire" The Gazette says fur
Their
Fear that a resident would move
has tied the hands of assessors in
more than one town. 1t is told that
there have been cases where rich men
have quietly arranged with assessors
what they would pay yearly prior to
moving into a town. This the poor
man cannot do. His property is usually
a bit Of real estate and that is hit as
hard as the assessors dare to strike
He has to bear this full share of the
load, the rich men have often escaped

The Providence Tribune, in a Sc
ries Of articles. is showing up the diff

CADETS FOR WEST POINT.

The superintendent of West Point,
Colonel Scott, in his annual report,
shows that the full complement of
cadets is 121 short, and in order to
meet the deficiency recommends that
two cadets from each state in the
republic be appointed to fill the quota.
He points out that of the 460 ap-
pointees, principals and alternates, Ill
failed to report for examination. This
left 349 to undergo the ordeal, Of
whom but 124 were found entirely sat
isfactory to the examiners. Sixty one
of the applicants were returned as
both physically and mentally disqual-
flied; 131 we're rejected as physically
eligible but mentally not up to the
mark; fourteen gave up the examina-
tinns as too hard" Ten who passed
the mental examination were denied
admission for failure to meet physical
requirements.
This report prompts contemporary
to remark shat this secapitulation
seems to indicate that many congress-
men must have offered Uncle Sam as
pirants Of the kind once referred to-
in the British navy as entitled to the
designation X. B. B.. "the kings bad
bargains" When less than forty per
cent. of those presenting themselves
at the Point survive the tests of the
examiners no other conclusion seems
possible than that some congressional
sponsors are laboring under the old
deIusion that anything is good enough
to be food for powder
1t is certain that West Point needs
to be put upon a better footing than
this. 1t needs well-developed young
men who have the ambition to work
for the honor of their country in max
ing this school model for the world
rather than the laughing stock Of the
nations

HOLDING PARENTS RESPONSIBLE

The Juvenile courts Of the land. with
Judge Ben Lindsay Of Denver at their
head have made plain to the people
that the responsibility of parents for
the public conduct Of their children
is not what it should be in any COM
munity.
The dawn OF the age appears to be
at hand when the malicious conduct
Of lads will not pass unnoticed because
boys will be boys" Several states
are proceeding to enact laws which
win hold parents as responsible for
damage done to property by stray
children as by stray domestic animals.
The measure now before the Mas
sachusetts legislature reads as fol-
lows:
AN act relative to the recovery Of
damages for injuries to property by
minors; whenever an injury is done
by minor wilfully, maliciously or
wantonly, the amount Of the injury
may be recovered by the persons sus-
tanning the same in an action of tort
against either parent or both parents
of the minor, but the amount of the
recovery in any such case shall be
limited to $50, and this act shall not
apply to acts done by minors above
the age Of II years"
RMS is wholesome law and there
ls no question but 1t would operate to
Immediately quell large amount of
mischief. The man who cannot make
ms boy obey viii not be so easy when
his pocket nerve is in danger Of be-
ing touched. A law like this might
be properly termed an act to brace
up parents and to correct the faults
Of neglected and ignorant children

CLEANING Hatpins.

Even a gold hatpin will grow tar
nished. and the best in this condition
are anything but ornamental When
the Workmanship is such that the US
ual brushing process is out of the
question, put the pin heads in tum-
bier Of ammonia in which two table
spoonfuls Of some powder cleaner is
placed. This settles to the bottom and
the pin can be churned back and forth
on the substance and cleansed. This
is an excellent method for cleaning
hatpins containing small jewels. Any
soap powder can be added to the am
monia. Belt pins and buckles can be
cleaned in the same manner.

carried out with them as a sleeve dec

PUTTING New Braid to Skirt.

When a new skirt braid is required,
rip off the old one, clean the skirt, basic
on the binding. then stitch it with the
machine. turn it UP into position, basic
in the edges, sow it fast by hand, and
do not let the stitches show on the right
side. When finished take out the bast-
ings and press on the wrong side with
warm iron. Before removing bast-
ings from any kind of work, cut them
in short lengths, never pull long threads
out; they draw up the work, and you
are fortunate If it does not tear.
