While we are seeking to save relig-
ion from evaporation in sentiment
shall we not seek to save fraternity
from the same fate2 Brotherhood
means many a hard lesson, means do
ing many a difficult thing, means pay
ing big price. But it means finding
great reward; it means the discovery
of humanity. 1t means learning to live
with other people and SO finding the:
greatest wealth in the world, that
which lies in human hearts and minds.
A man learns to love books by read
ing and songs by singing, but the
greatest of all loves, the love of hui
manity, of lives, is learned just by
living with people, by taking time to
find out what is in them, by stopping
long enough in our mad business Of
making a living to realize that the
best things of life lie in the love and
life of others. = Henry F. Cope in Chi
cago Tribune.

The Greedy Steel Trust.

During campaigns the St. Paul
Pioneer Press is loyal to its party
and the interests. At other times it
frequently strikes strong blows for
:the right and the people. Here is a
sample:
ttJudge Gary of the steel trust has
announced, in substance, that the
Steel corporation will cut wages if the
tariff on steel is reduced. In view of
ali the circumstances, such statement
Us little short of an attempt at black
mail. The company has fattened on
the profits the tariff permitted it to ex-
tort from the people. Fearing a cut
in the tariff and also to stimulate
trade, the Steel company recently made
"a voluntary cut in prices. Now that
1t is proposed to reduce the tariff to a
gooint where prices will not be again
raised to their former level, the COM
zpany begins to talk about cutting
wages. Andrew Carnegie says the
tariff is too high, and the history of
the steel trust backs up his assertion.
But the moment congress shows symp-
stoms of proposing to make the COM
pany share some of its tremendous
profits with the people, Judge Gary
announces that the reduction will be
taken out of the pockets of the en-
ployes.
''This not only is cowardly threat
but is one that should be borne in
mind by the people. Just think of
such an assertion from the head of the
steel trust! His company was orga-
snized just eight years ago. The
profits on it's operations are practi-
~cally 5000, 100000 year. 1t pays 7
per cent on $3.50, 1881, 100 OF preferred
stock and 2 per cent on $5O8, 3O2, 500 of
common stock. 1t pays per cent
upon more than 100000, 600 of bonds.
Yet in spite of its tremendous capitali-
1zation it has made extensive improve
anents, purchased several outside con-
Germs and at the same time managed
to lay aside more than 5000, 600, 900 in
sinking funds and undivided surplus
accounts. And all this was done with
an eight years. Still the chairman of
ats executive board has the effrontery
30 threaten to take it out of the labor
GERS if congress should presume to say
: chat the people of the nation are enti-
tiled TO cheaper steel. Such nerve
not be permitted to go unre-
buked when congress gets at work on
the tariff bill.''

Congress has done much of late
years in the matter of raising salaries,
and providing pensions for those who
do not need them. The most import
ant salary raise was the one congress
gave itself, but there are enough
others to make an enormous total.
And congress has gone on paying
forty ear-old claims, largely trumped
up, gone on purchasing new battle
ships and voting funds to navy yards
which will never have anything to do
with the navy, being off navigable
water. In thousand ways, congress
goes on spending money, even vast
ing it, although the treasury deficit is
growing larger. Now it is suggested
that congress resort to war taxes, or
special taxes as they are technically
called, in order to raise more revenue.
1t hasn't been so long since the Span
ish-American war that many have
forgotten the little revenue stamps on
almost everything which was pur-
chased. Special stamps for drugs, to-
bacco, notes, mortg and num-
Der of other things, all with a direct
bearing on the daily dealings of the
people. The expense ofwar is so we'll
understood that there is little objec-
ton to special taxes when the war
dog is loose. But such taxes to main
tain what the wise congressman call
the ssdignity of the republic, = will not
set we'll on the public stomach. This
dignity they tell about means merely
to live more like the shallow Drained
snobs of European courts. To the
country at large dignity means some
thing more than Wallets and state din
ners; something more than taxing the
people to maintain a pomp which is
hardly in accord with republican
teachings. Atchison Globe.

Although LaFollette may not have
: succeeded in blocking the naval APP
appropriations bill, he at least accom-
;:plished something in the matter of
: enlightening the people in regard to
senatorial methods. The controversy
developed that nine OF the eleven
sen ators on the naval committee have
navy yards in the states they repre-
sent and that, while it may not be
conducive to the interest Of the people
at large, it is convenient for the
committee to see that all of these
snaval stations are well taken care of.
But why do the western sen ators stand
Tor this sort Of dealing? Simply be-
cause the naval committee isn't an
exception; because the senate and ali
connected Herewith seems to be con,
Quoted along lines best intended tc
bleed the public treasury. Western
senators are given control of the
reclamation service, public lands
Indian affairs and similar matters
and they are supported in any demand
they may see fit to make. It is case
of "you scratch my back and III
scratch yours" it's a game of polite:
played in the interest of the favored
few. La Toilette should not stop un

In an old wooden shed back of the
house he had cut his throat from ear
to ear. The cutting had been done
with pocket knife, which lay by his
side. The dying man was carried into
the house, but he never recovered
consciousness. Every effort was made
to revive him, but he died at p. m.
His clothing and suit case were
searched and two letters were found,
one addressed to his wife at Rattle
Run, which was sealed and remains
unopened. The other was the con-
fession which was addressed to the
sheriff at Port Huron, Mich.
The statement in his confession
that he constantly dreaded being cap
tured by the detectives, as he knew
he inevitably must he, was not borne
out at all in his conduct here, for in
stead of acting as one in fear, he ap-
peared to be cheerful, retired early
and reappeared in the morningc as
fresh as if he had enjoyed good
nights rest.

A LUCKY ESCAPE.

Thrilling Experience Of q cyeiist on q
Swiss Mountain.
A DR.. Bach was cycling down the
pass near Goschenen, in Switzerland,
when his brake snapped and the ma
chine darted forward at terrific speed.
At the foot Of the mountain Is 4 bridge
spanning a deep river gorge. The ply
stefan tried to guide his flying machine
on the bridge, but the front wheel
struck side wall, and he was dung
over the parapet. While falling through
the air he caught a chain hanging from
a girder. The momentum Of his body,
suddenly arrested, nearly wrenched his
grip loose, but he was strong man
and kept his hold. While swinging in
midair suspended over the raging river
and unable to improve his 4perilous
position an automobile came chugging
down the pass. The hapless man
shouted for help, but he could not be
seen from the bridge, and his cries
were drowned by the noise Of the mo.
tor and the sound Of the river. A few
minutes after the automobile had pass.
ed a carriage drove across the bridge.
Again he cried out for help, but in
vain. The awful strain on arms and
fingers was becoming intolerable. and
the doctor was about to drop into the
torrent to an inevitable death when
two peasants came by and saw him.
They flung moose over him and pulled
him up. He tainted and was Ill for q
long time.-Strand Magazine.

MIXED THE SIGNS.

sarasate and the Sandwich Men In
Edinburgh.
To advertise Sarasate's performances
in Edinburgh eight sandwich men were
sent out, each of whom bore in front
and behind him one letter Of the great
musicians name. They started all
right. but after a time removed the
boards from their shoulders to have a
rest.
On resuming their labors each man
shouldered the board nearest him and
fell in behind the man who had for
merly marched before him.
When the leader, who bore the initial
49," turned around to see II his men
were ready, what he saw was "Sata-
resa." He knew enough to realize that
something was wrong, but how to
right it was more than he could tell.
After changing a man here and there
he got it "starasea." But still it didn't
seem correct.
By this time the poor fellow was in
a terrible state. II any Of their en-
ployers' people were on the outlook
and could see them, their days wage
would be stopped! He tried again and
yet again, but it was no use.
And a moment later q man bearing
the letter IS" before and behind was
seen running toward the music hall to
copy down the name from one Of the
posters there. And along the right
side of Princeton street there walked
toward the appointed rendezvous at
the Mound three men who bore the
strange device "A A E." while opposite
them there paced along the left side
gutter four others, who, If to advertise
means to attract attention, succeeded
well, for every one who passed looked
around in wondering amazement 40 to
what rats meant.-Edinburgh Dis
