THE RIGHT SORT OF MAN.

Says the Chicago POST
I'VE know man who has already
bought two Christmas presents"
Do you indeed? Good for him. He
is an optimist-a real, genuine opti-
mist. We are willing to wager a
good cigar on that. only persons OF
temperamental poise and altrulstic
dispositions are given to that sort of
thing, and they are all apostles OF
hope and good cheer and sunshine,
moreover
Aside from the fact that the early
Christmas shopped catches the guaran-
teed bargains and likewise avoids the
rush, We think we see in him a kindly
disposition and a benevolent inclination
to take time by the forelock both
wisely and well in all good causes.
Christmas and it's sentimental obliga-
tons early get on his mind, and his
enthusiasm must find release through
some sort of safety valve, or he is
most uncomfortable, If not actually un-
happy. Wherefore, he HES him forth
while yet the pickings are all of It'd
bit persuasion and there is no hurry
He smiles approvingly to himself as he
wanders through masses of ties, and
purses, and books, and trinkets, here
and there-mayhap through stocks ga
lore and cigars of doubtful lineage,
too-and as at his leisure he picks
this or that for parent. brother, sister.
friend, or office boy, he pats himself
Upon the back and feels within
himself the rapture Of a high resolve
meyer to put off until tomorrow that
which he may do today, especially If it
is something benign and kindly and
conceived in sincerity and love.
Blessings be upon the head of this
Chicago man who already-this good
six weeks in advance-has put his
Christmas shopping SO well under
way. Not only is he q wise man in
his generation, but he writes HIM
'elf down a humanitarian and a good
ellow in letters that they who run
nay read. Such a man is the right |
Iort, and may his shadow-which must
,e large and imposing-never grow
ess.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
states that the amount which the
government expends on experimental
work for increasing the efficiency of
the farms of the United States is
eighteen million dollars a year. The
secretary is OF opinion that the re-
suits are worth the money. He eX-
plains that the assistance given to
individual farmers is considerable and
Is not confined to any locality. AS an
instance of its effectiveness he cites
the case of a farmer who was raising
only twenty bushels OF potatoes to the
acre and appealed to the Department
for assistance and advice, and who is
now raising two hundred and fifty
bushels OF potatoes to the acre on the
same land. The government experts
were able, to supply seed and suggest
methods that turned failure into brill
liant success. OF course the benefits
OF missionary work of this sort ex-
tend far and wide. A battleship costs
nine million dollars. For the amount
which ii expends to conduct the expert
mental work OF the Department of Ag-
riculture the government could build
two battleships q year-but 1t would
be foolish to do so.

petition with the sugar trust WAS AZ
iiagrant as any act of piracy ever per-
petrated on the high seas.
1t seems evident now that there is
an administration at Washington
which will not weaken at the su-
preme moment and compound with
great criminals caught in the perpe-
tration OF felonious acts. Yesterday
development bearing on the sugar
frauds was that of one hundred and
sixteen assistants weighers who have
been regularly on duty in the custom
house at New York, there are twenty
two who have been proved guilty of
crooked work or who are under WELL
grounded suspicion. The fear has been
entertained that when the government
not long ago caused the sugar trust
to pay into the federal treasury two
million dollars in addition to the
$4,000 paid as a forfeit. the settle
ment which it thus effected might
estop further collections to offset
frauds subsequently, disclosed. Very
positively, however, came the state
ment from the treasury department
yesterday that when the two million
dollar settlement took place no agree
ment was made that in any manner
limits the government in the prosecu-
ton of trust officials.
The frauds were going on as long
ago as 1894, when the Democratic par
ty was in control of the government
at Washington. There was an inves-
tigation before the Senate during
which Henry o. Havemeyer was exam
ined on the subject of contributions
from the exchequer of the sugar trust
to political campaign funds.
Here is a veracious report Of what
happened at that timer
Mr.. Havemeyer sought to convince
his questioners that contributions were
made because of the fire and police
protection corporations with much
property must have. "You feel at lib
erty to contribute to both parties?'
asked Senator Allen. ut depends
said Mr.. Havemeyer. "In the State OF
New York, where the Democratic ma
jority is between 10000 and $4,000, we
throw it their way. In the State OF
Massachusetts, where the Republican
party is doubtful. they probably have
the call" "Then,' said Senator Allen
"the sugar trust is a Democrat in o
Democrat state and a Republican i'm a
Republican state?" GAS far as local
matters are concerned" said Mr.
Havemeyer, II think that is about it,
1t is not the party stamp but the
personal integrity of candidates foi
political office upon which dependence
must be placed for honest administra-
ton of public affairs.

Hartford, Oct. 1S.-The laws of the State concerning motor vehicles as enacted blythe last General Assembly, went into effect on the first day of last month and in Section 4 is the fol- flowing: ftThe rear number plate shall be so fastened as not to swing; the .1ewer edge thereof shall be at least eighteen inches from the ground. and during the times when a motor vehicle is required to display lights, said rear registered number shall be SO illufn- mated as to be legible at g, distance Of sixty feet.''

As an automobile came speeding along a small light would be waved in its path Naturally the driver stopped to see what the acci4 dent was. If it appeared that the rear number plate was so fastened as not to swing, etc.. and above all was legible at a distance of sixty feet and the driver was allowed. to walk back sixty feet and look for himself -t he could go on. If these things were not as they should be- then an fnvitae ton would be given by the constable to come around to court on the nor row.
 Not only were many stopped, it was said, but many were found wanting. No automobiles were stopped except those which were going faster than twenty miles an hour.
 It was voted in a town meeting about a week ago that the automobile law should be enforced. There have been a number of serious accidents in West stable Ldvington's 7-year-old son was killed by being struck by an automo- bile.
