THE CHARACTER or A CITY

The theory of government in this
country is based upon the presumption
of high standard of manhood-and Of
womanhood, because there will be no
high standard of manhood without the
other. 1t is easy to determine mans
character when you know what kind of
women he likes to associate with. The
character of city is fixed by the char
acter of the people who live in it. It
is now being recognized more than ever
before that character counts for much
in the welfare Of a community
The vice of a city is detriment to
its prosperity, even though some people
ges trade by trafficing in vice. This
fact was formerly not so well under
stood as lis now. People once thought
that as vice fiourished in all large and
growing cities it was a necessary part
of the growth and prosperity. 1t was
like supposing that rich mans govt
was necessary part of his success.
The Chicago Tribune, referring to the
fight for decent city government in
San Francisco, says:
1.-The issue in San Francisco will de-
termine the status of the city in the
eyes of the country and will determine
whether decent men would not rather
do business in the west at Portland,
Seattle, Spokane, and Tacoma; whether
home seekers will not look for cities
free from the contamination of vice,
and fields for business investment
where they will not be subject to
blackmail and corrupt competition.
go Shall the panders of vice, the
panders of franchises, and Pat Cal
houn unite to debauch the city in their
own interest and defeat the people be-
cause some of them can be deceived by
the press gang of the crooks, or
bought? We are thousands of miles
away from the picket line in San Fran
cisco, but the cause Of Heney is our
cause. He is holding the left wing OF
the battle line of decency which is
flung across the country, and his vic
tory or defeat must determine for us
the character of the people who vote in
San Francisco Nov. 2. Are they our
people? Can our young men wisely
and safely live among them?''
The Chicago Tribune's view is sub
stantially the same as that of many
other leading newspapers. Experience
has taught some valuable lessons, con
spicuously so in Chicago. Prominent
newspapers and prominent citizens
everywhere are asking the question
whether decent men would not rather
do business" in cities not so strongly
stepped in vice and corruption as Sar
Francisco. In these days bad reputa
ton hurts in business way as wei
as otherwise. Fathers and mothers are
more often inquiring whether is is safe
to bring up their sons and daughters
in cities where vice is rampant. Super

HIS COLLAR A FIRE TRAP
Sergt. Cohen'e Celtuioid Neckwear
Destroyed in a Staten island
Blaze.

New York.-Fire destroyed $50,000
worth of property and Police Sergt.
Cohen's celluloid collar at Rosebank,
S. L., the other afternoon. The prop
erty consisted of three-story brick
storehouse on New York avenue and
five frame buildings adjoining.
The cause OF the fire is unknown,
but it started in the storehouse at
about one O'Clock and burned so
fiercely that all the fire engines on the
south side of Staten Island were
called out and two fireboats steamed
down the bay and helped.
Sergt. Cohen's celluloid collar was
worth about Is cents and was unin-
sured Sergt Cohen ran to the fire
from the Stapleton station, about half
a mile away, and went right to work
helping to fight the fire. A spark lit
on his fine white standing collar.
Then there was fash and sputter,
and lot of black smoke enveloped
the sergeant's head, the while he per-
formed most extraordinary and pic
turesque jig and howled things which
no newspaper going into right-minded
family circles could possibly print.
When the collar burned out the ser
geant went to drug store anil
showed the druggist how he had got
it In the neck, so to speak. Enciden-
tally he hadn't much hair and no Ttl@-
tache to speak OF. but he'll be on til
job again in few days.

STAND TOGETHER

One of the greatest troubles with
nearly all reform movements is that
those who sympathize with reform and
clean government seldom hang to-
gether, to use Franklin's phrase. The
grating element work together for a
common end, sometimes quarreling
over little division Of spoils, but pre-
senting united front to the reformers,
the thigh brows' as grafters con-
temptuously term them. Likewise the
saloon keepers, brewers and distillers,
the gamblers and keepers of low re-
sorts cooperate with each other in
maintaining their respective business
against the onslaughts of the thigh
brows." There may be slight disputes
between these various classes as to
their respective rake-offs, but as
against the rest of the world they form
unit.
A CRATER runs for Office and as a
matter of course distributes bunch Of
his easy money with the various oth4r
kinds mentioned, and receives their
enthusiastic and noisy support. Hav-
ing achieved his office, he uses his
influence with the governing powers
to secure immunity from prosecution
for his supporters. In return for this
favor he gets rake-of from the illicit
business of his supporters. It's per-
fectly fair and business-like, you see,
each getting a return for what he
gives, and the public gets what the
turkey got on Thanksgiving eve.
Whenever a man is "pinched" for
gambling, selling liquor without
license or similar offence, the classes
above referred to are vociferous in
their sympathy and give him all the
support they can. When reformer
has the temerity to attack a law
breaker of these classes, he is pounc-
ed upon by all who sympathize with
that element. Whatever their faults,
these classes must be credited with
standing together solidly for their
mutual interest.
Why don't those who believe in
clean government and decency do the
same thing, and give their united
sympathy and support to men who
actively oppose the lawlessness? For
illustration, take the recent case of
the raiding of low resort at Lady
smith. Its existence was we'll known
to the ruling powers. but they simply
winked and looked wise. A. R. Klein
ert's strenuous advertising brought
the evil to public notice, and Supt.
Mackin's complaint brought the in
mates into court Aren't these men
deserving of the sympathy and support
of all decent people. Glen Flora Star

TIMBER DECAY COSTS MILLIONS

Millions of feet of timber and finish
ed lumber rot every year in railroad
ties, bridges, trestles' piles, farm build
ings, fences, poles, and mine props.
The lumber consuming public of the
United States pays perhaps thirty to
forty million dollars a year to make
good the losses from wood decay.
Those great drains are a source of
more and more concern each year
Chemists aud engineers who have to
do with the uses of wood are working
increasingly on the problem. The U. S.
Forest Service has men who devote
their whole time to it. The Importance
of the problem can not be overestimated.
Millions of dollars are annually saved
by preventative treatment of timbers,
but much yet remains to be learned.
Wood decay is caused by fungus, a
vegetable growth sometimes so small
that it can be seen only with micro
scope. It's roots or branches, like mi
mute hairs, force their way into the
wood tissues and absorb or eat away
the solid parts. Timber is artificially
preserved by forcing into its cells and
pores certain substances which prevent
the growth of fungi. AS long as this
substance is present in sufficient guam
tity. the germs of decay-t the threads
and spores of fungus-can not enter.
and the wood is preserved. This often
means doubling and sometimes trebling
the life of the timber.
The Unites States government con-
siders the Investigations of the preserv-
alive treatment of timber of such i'm
portance that the business of one office
of the United States Forestry Service,
that of Wood Preservation, with new
headquarters at Madison, Wis, is given
over entirely to the work of expert
ments in cooperation with railroad
companies and other corporations and
individuals in prolonging the life of
railroad ties, mine props, bridge tim
bers, fence posts and transmission poles.
The frightening of the life of timber
means the saving of thousands of dol
lars annually through doing away with
the heavy expense of labor and cost of
material for renewals.

Ladysmith Has to Bow to the inevi-

Prove IL

After reading the public statement
of this representative citizen of Lady

kidneys in good health since, can be
relied upon to perform the same
work in other cases. Read this:

appreciated a good remedy, | have

Pills. / have sold them for years
and from personal and business ex-
perience, | know that they act up
to representations.
On Feb. q, 1905 Mr.. Stapleton gave
the following statement: Il suffered
from backache for quite a length of
time. The attacks were not severe
enough to lay me up but nevertheless
caused me much annoyance. If made

There are people who say that 'sPro.
hibition does not prohibit, - and who
believe it, too, being ready to quote
instances in their own experience to
back up the statement. But that is
not the best evidence. Since the pro-
hibition wave began sweeping over the
country the brewing and distilling bust
ness has been falling off-that is the
reason they are fighting prohibition.
The dividends of the whisky trust
dwindled from 81, l01, 309 in 1907 tc
1874, 206 in 1909. That would indicate
to the thinking man that Prohibition is
is quite effective.
