Sanitary prinkino Fountains.

A public spirited man in Boston has
invented very unique, simple, and
practical piece Of mechanism in the
shape of sanitary drinking fountain,
says the February Popular Mechanics.
1t is the only apparatus that delivers
water and containers from separate
receptacles by one and the same pro-
cess, and the interest which this In
vention is arousing is helping consid-
erably in the national crusade against
the spread Of contagious disease thru
the medium of the public drinking cup.
This fountain delivers for, the sum
Of one penny. a new clean paper cup
filled with pure water. The cup is
made Of water PROCEED paper or fiber,
and can not be returned to the ma
chine, thus insuring to every purchaser
an absolutely clean cup. The article is
illustrated.

(From the New York Evening SUM-

Chinese government, would indicate
that he held this power only in his
head That his head still remains ri

hands, to be unusual good luck for him,

THE COMMONEsr NECESSITY.

The commonest necessity and the
uses it without inquiry as to where
and how it is produced and so far there
have been no predictions that the sup
ply will be exhausted
An immense amount of salt is pro-
duced in the United States. The
quantity produced in this country in
1908, according to statistics compiled
amounted to 2s.822,062 barrels of ESQ
pounds, valued at $7,553632, decrease
Of sS2,066 barrels in quantity and of
s54,691 in value from the output in
1907. Expressed on tonnage basis,
these quantities represent an output of
4,O35,0S9 short tons in 1908, or 123.489
short tons less than the production in
1907. The average net value of the
product in 1908 was 26.2O8 cents per
barrel, or s1.S7 per short ton, as against
25.614 cents per barrel, or $1.S3 per ton,
in 1907, an increase for 1908 Of about
six tenths of cent per BARREL or 4
cents per ton.
For convenience, salt is classified ac-
cording to the grades by which it is
sold by the producer, the grades being
determined by the amount of refining,
the methods employed in refining, and
the purposes for which the salt is
used. These grades are table and

DEALING IN FUTURES.


Whatever the determination. there
should be law against dealing in fu-
lures. A law of this kind can do no
harm. If it does no good nobody is
out anything. A few gamblers may win
but what they win others lose.
1T is time for the congress Of the
United States to act. Nobody wishes
to prevent legitimate trading, but deal
ing in futures is certainly not legiti-
mate trading and it's effect upon the
market is such that there must be a
law protecting the people. Patten has
made 100000 out of the wheat deal
but that sum in no way represents the
loss to the general public who have to
pay more for their flour and more for
their bread

1t is not likely enforcement Of the

feet of diminishing the returns from

one in which the municipal authorities
may have easy opportunity to secure
from such saloons as remain as much
revenue as was secured from a larger

ly it is not likely the saloon men who
retain their licenses will make very

KELrz's RESIGNATION.
The resignation of B. F. Kelts

The resignation of B. F. Keltz as
read as an admission that Keltz is
unable to defend his charges for four
days time complained of by the gov
ernor. He is out and another man will
be appointed in his place.
The circumstances, charges and count
err charges and general row which has
resulted in the withholding of small
sum from Keltz's salary by the ex-
ecutive council and in the resignation
so devoutly desired by the governor
is familiar to all who have given the
matter attention. In the symposium of
elimination and recrimination Mr..
Keltz has appeared to very poor adj
vantage and the governor has not
doomed high. In the one case the resig-
nation should, it appears, have been
forthcoming and in the other the mo-
pears to have been as much desire to
get rid of Keltz in order to put an
other and dearer in his place as to
correct Irregularities In this case as
in the adage, the public has profited
by the expose that followed the falling
out 1t has found out that the custom
of paying expenses for state work
when merely political duties were at
tended to has made itself common
until political desire for room on the
pay roll makes it necessary to scrutin-
ize bills more closely.
However, whatever may have been
the custom which led Keltz to turn
in an unsound expense charge the
state official who does these things
should not be retained and it is we'll
that the resignation has come. So long
as the controversy was on it seemed
fair to give the lower official his right
to a hearing upon the charges of the
higher official before censuring him. If
the accused man had been innocent he
would have promptly proved it and
was entitled to his opportunity He has
had it and has failed and so it is
we'll that the resignation has come. It
would be still better if the incident
shall result in establishing new rule
as to expense accounts among state
officials SO that no other man can fall
into easy ways which seem to him
matters of custom at the time but
which open him wide to annihilation
when opponents go after his job.

TAXES AND EXPENDITURES
TBoone News-Ren,,h,io.n,

L
| Congress is face to face with the
problem OF more taxes or less ex-
penditure of public funds. The Amer
lean people are taxed less in propor-
ton ITO their incomes than the people
of any other country, but at the rate
things are going, there is no telling
how long this state Of affairs will ex-
list. 1t would be wise to keep it that
way for all time, but in making legis-
lation the only thought seems to be
now to raise enough money to pay
the appropriations made. There is
very little Thought given to the matter
of cutting down appropriations. The
problem Is how to devise taxes to
meet the expenses of the government.
All kinds of taxes are being proposed.
including income tax, inheritance
tax, stamp tax, conservation tax, beer
tax and what not, and good men are
proposing them.
There is a growing sentiment that
instead Of devising means Of taxation.
some thought should be given to re-
trenchment Of expenditures. This is
a great and growing country, and the
government should be run on a liber.
al plan, but there Is limit to every.
thing.
The pace is too fast. The republ-
can party should call halt. Once let
these taxes reach a point where they
begin to be felt by the people and
there will be roar which will send
us back to the simple life that will
cripple all government enterprises.
While the people are willing to stand
very liberal appropriation for all
good projects, and congress in the past
has been very generous, the time must
come when mere devising ways and
means to raise funds for extravagapt
expenditures will not be the burden Of
legislation.
