AN UNWIsE PROVISION.

One phase of the liquor regulation
bill which will. come up for passage in
the house today should be amended. =
is the clause providing for the closing
of saloons at o'clock. This hour is al
together too early. It should be fixed
at II O'Clock at the earliest. Twelve
o'clock would really not be too late for
any night except Saturday. when possi-
bly, O'Clock is the really desirable hour.
The Canadian law. which has worked
cut very satisfactorily, requires the
closing of all places where liquor is sold
every night at II O'Clock. They remain
closed until o'clock in the morning.
on Saturday the closing hour is
O'Clock. and he saloons are not re-
opened until o'clock Monday morning.
This early closing feature on Saturday
evening has proven, in the judgment of
officials of Ontario cities, decidedly adj
vantageous TO the families of working
men who receive their weekly pay on
SATURDAY.. The closing of the saloons
has made the Saturday evening crowds
in Canadian towns sober and orderly,
and has limited the numbers largely to
shoppers and theatre-SOers.
To attempt TO close the saloons at so
early an hour as : o'clock in the even
ing every day of the week would SIM
ply tend to help the bottle trade if an
honest effort should be made to enforce
the law. SaIoonmen also would be
tempted to violate the law. Should city
officials decide TO wink at the non-en-
forcement of the law. the effect would
be to- bring the new law into the same
d:srepute as the old. In either event
the effect would be bad morally, and no
compensating good would be accom-
r,Jished

PRAYER COMPETITION.
Ceremony Held Each Year in Eng
lish Churchyard.
LONDON Post.l

In the little churchyard of Wotton, near
Dorking, the annual prayer competition
for boys of the parish took place yester-
day at the tombstone Of William Clan
Will
GlanvilI, a member Of the Inner Tenn
pie, died Feb. ?, nearly 200 years ago.
In his will be stipulated that money
should be set aside to produce $50 a year
of which amount 40 shillngs was to go
to each of five prayer boys who should
stand Feb. yearly at his tombstone,
bereheaded, recite from memory the
Lords prayer. Ten Commandments and
Apostles Greed; read the fifteenth chap
ter of the First EpistIe to the Corinth-
ians, and afterwards write from dictation
IN legtble hand two verses from the
same chapter During upward of 800 years
the competition has been maintained. The
age limit is Z to 16, and a boy can only
succeed once.
Yesterday in cold weather the boys as
sembied in the church porch, their names
were taken and q selection was made for
the competition. which is fixed in the 10
cal calendar as 20 shilling day" Then
the competitors marched to Glanvilrs
tomb and the signal was given for the
recitation. Some of the boys almost
stammering through the cold. secretly re-
joiced that it fell to their lot to repeat
the short commandments, but moment
later they were called to recite the sec
Ond and fourth.
When a complete examination had been
made the boys marched to the school
room. where the reading and writing ex-
ercises were conducted. In an hour the
winners names were announced and they
each received % sbiIlings-a cherished
award in the little village.

CANNON SURE OF ELECTION.

II goes without saying that Joseph
G. Cannon will succeed himself as
speaker of the house. That much is
conceded by the handful of Republicans
who are attempting to secure a revision
of the rules in order that bills may be
allowed to come up for action regard
less of the opinion of the speaker as to
their merit. During the campaign last
fall enough Republican candidates for
representative declared themselves op-
posed 10 Cannon To insure his defeat.
but some of these individuals have
wea kened since election and, as the
matter stands. the Danville man will
probably be monarch of all he surveys
during the sessions of the Sixty-first
congress. Recent dispatches from
Washington indicated that the presi-
dent has Joined hands with the speaker
and that the Republican representative
who refuses to vote for the latter will
be left out In the cold when the distri-
button Of patronage begins.
It will be interesting to note what
the Nebraska, Wisconsin and other Re
publicans who promised their cOnstitu-
ents to vote against Cannon will do
when the caucus assemblies tonight.
Most likely they will place their necks
under the yoke and trust to luck in the
matter of squaring themselves with the
farmers whom they deceived. The "old
man of the sea" is going to ride for an
other two years without doubt

FRAUDULENT REVISION.

The revision of the tariff is about to
T.. tec u-.lt,.isled 81 special session of
congress. called Tor the purpose by Mr..
Roosevelt's successor. From time to
time an anxious public has been as
sured that the pledges of the Chicago
platform and the promises made to the
farmers in the great central western
states would be carried out. Indeed. a
list OF articles has been given on which
it was proposed to lower the duties.
Doubt has now arisen as TO the in
tegrity of purpose of the Republicans
in control of both branches of congress
and the administration. Mr.. Bryan pro-
claimed some time ago that if the
schedules were touched at all the re-
vision was more likely to be upward
than downward His remarks were dis
missed with a lordly wave of the hand
Was he not a disappointed candidate
for the presidency and. therefore, es-
topped from carping criticism?
After challenging Mr.. Bryan for
cause. the work OF revision went mer-
rily on at the hands OF the Republican
members OF tha ways and means COM
mittee. The Payne bill is practically
completed. and TIE lines are being
formed to push it through congress in
the shortest possible time. Speaker
Cannon has visited the White House

GOOD CROPS AND PROSPERITY.

The eyes Of the financiers are turned
toward the farms of the country in the
hope that some measure of relief from
the present high prices for food prod
ucts may be found. The farmers are
prosperous and have been so for years
are more or less pinched under exist
ing conditions. The cost of living is
very great, and countless thousands of
mechanics and laboring men have been
long out of work. A reimbursement is
gradually taking place which cannot
be fully realized until the new tariff
bill has been passed and the country
given a chance to get. on a settled basis
and accommodate itself to new condi-
tions. Even a partial failure of crops
would be more than ordinarily disas-
trous at the present time. Upon the
farm, then, depends in a large measure
our hope Of prosperity in the near fu-
ture. Upon this phase of the subject
the weekly market letter of Henry
Clews & Co. says:
Just now the farmers are thriving
upon the necessities of a helpless pub
lie, which is passing through period
sion. Upon the poor the high prices of
food products today are an exceeding
hardship; and the contrast between the
average working man in our great cities
and tho ax-oro ca oopd3+fo,, % fbo s,..,,o.
class in agricultural sections is very
striking. showing a difference that
should rot indefinitely continue The
new school of economists has been ar
guing that prosperity consists in search
ty and high prices. This fallacy, how
ever. is being rapidly exploded. Man
ayers of some of our great trusts fell
into the error of adopting these NJ q
doctrines much to their present discom-
future. and apparently our farmers have
yet to learn the lesson that true pros
peTity lies in abundance and not IN
scarcity. The country as a whole would
be infinitely better off with big crops
at moderate prices than limited crops
at famine prices, such as are being paid
today for the essentials of f;fe. There
fore. one of the first necessities of the
day is big crops. American farmers
should do their share in promoting the
country's welfare by providing a iib-
erai increase in acreage and securing a
larger yield as far as possible by Inn
proved methods. of cultivation Posi-
bly, they would not obtain so large a
profit per bushel as in the last harvest,
but they. and the country as a whole.

A TIMELY HINT FOR BOYS.
CShort Stories.

A well known lawyer is telling d good
story about himself and his efforts 10
correct the manners of his office boy.
One morning not long ago the young au-
tocrat blew into the office. and, tossing
his cap at hook, exclaimed:
Say, Mr.. Blank, there's ball game
down at the park today and I am going
down
Now, the attorney is not d hard-hearteI
man, and was willing the boy should 20.
but thought he would teach him a little
lesson in good manners.
Jimmie he said, that isn't the way
to ask a favor. Now, you come over
here and sit down, and I'll show you how
to do it"
The boy took the office chair and his
employer picked W his cap and stepped
outside. He then opened the door softly
and, holding the cap in his hand, said,
quietly, to the small boy in the big
chair:
Please, sir, there is a ball game at
the park today; if you can spare me /
would like to get away for the afternoon
In a flash the boy responded:
why, certainly. Jimmie; and here is
30 cents to pay your way in.

There is no woman mayor, no wom-

them, but the women are law unto

The conditions that make this a

most natural way in the world. All
the men are fishers and they spend
the greater part of the year at sea.
They are good sailors and they man

quently for adjustment by fishery
commissions, and 1t is the loss of their
vessels that almost every year brings
sorrow to Cancale and the neighbor-
ing coast.
When the men do return they find
that the town has been managed SO
well In their absence and the thrift of
the women has been so well exercised
that they are content not to NEEDLE
and to let things 30 on as they have
been going. There are proportionate-
ly more widows, and young widows,
too, in Cancale than in any other town
of France. A fisherman's bride waits
for four years after she has heard
that the boat her husband sailed away
upon has not been reported and then
she puts on her mourning. 1t is this
uncertainty as to the fate of the men,
thrown helpless and homeless upon
the fear that at any time they may be
their own resources, that makes the
women of Cancale self-relant and
that leads them early to seek some
means OF their own for an honest live
lihood.
For the men that remain in the
| town the women dc not seem to en-,
terrain the greatest respect. Most OF
them have become incapacitated for
work or are shiftless and idle. So the
women run matters themselves
The thrift that the conditions men
,ioned inspire is something Of pas
(, sion among the women. 1t seems thai
there is a constant struggle with each
one of them to make more none,

frequently accomplish this, too. fol
