Most of them ignore human nature and the strongest social forces. Nearly all are impracticable. It IS better to learn from the experience of others than engage in disastrous experiment.
 The whole problem of liquor legils- lation should be divorced from the hysteric emotionahsm and evangel- ism which are now the most con spicuous factors in the attempt to influence public opinion and legisla,, tive bodies. It should be placed upon a basis of scientific inquiry and sober judgment.
 There is no surer method of en- forcing public opinion and guiding legislative action into safe channels than by thorough investigation The work of well-selected com mission created not for the purpose of regulating the liquor traffic, but to obtain information and make recommendations based upon re- searches would be invaluable at this time.

An undertaken charges $100 for con- ducting funeral and he is just per fectly lovely with everybody inside and outside the family. A man buys gold brick and apologies for not having bitten before. An editor walks mile in the hot sun to get the facts of death or wedding or social function and spends three hours writing it up and tells lies praising people until he hates him. self.

Prepare to live by living.
 Heaven is habit-and so is hell.

 It is quite absurd to say that a man is good or bad-he is good and bad.

 A duty is a pleasure which we try to make ourselves believe is a hard ship.
 We make our money out of our friends, our enemies will not trade with us..

PRESIDENT TAFT.

Today at noon William H. Taft assumed the duties, responsibilities and honors of the highest office in the gift of the people of the greatest nation on earth
 In doing so he is succeeding the most virile, energetic, history-mak- ing,character that has held the office of President in many years man whose motto has ever been to do things" In the doing President Roosevelt has never hesitated to run counter to well established prece- dents or to opinions of others. He has not taken time to gradually mold the opposition to his views. but has hammered it into line by man force whenever he had the power so to do. In other cases, he was wise enough to accept part of the loaf when all could not be gained.
 The new President is another character of man. He has record for gaining his point in grea ter percentage of cases than has Roose- welt. He is said to be just as strong in his opinions and as determined, but diplomacy plays greater part. Instead of smashing things into shape. he molds them. Diplomacy is to him what the "big stick" was to his predecessor-and, likewise, he can be said to be more careful, to feel his way more thoroughly, and will be less liable to fall into errors.
 All in all, President Taft promises to be a safe man. He has an unbroken record for making good" in any thing he undertakes.

THE NoN-pRoDUcTIvE GLASS

An English commission has been working for years to solve the prob lem of the unemployed in that coun- try. It has published 40 volumes of statistics and has found that while the government last year spent the tremendous sum of 70 million dollars to relieve distress, less than one-tenth of the necessary work was done. And the suggestion that this wise commission makes is that all able-bodied unemployed men be put into the army. In other words, select the most efficient ot those who should produce, and place them where they can but be a per- manent burden upon these who do produce, leaving the less efficient in an even worse condition than before.
 The way to care for the unemploy- ed is not to continue them as non producers. The remedy is not charity, but work.
 America, in it's big cities, is fol- lowing in the footsteps of the older country. Its class of unemployed, non-producers, is increasing year by year. Our statesmen must face the same problem that is paralyzing England. Let us hope they will find solution along more practical lines.
 There is not too much energy. It should all be used for the purpose of assisting humanity-not wasted in idleness nor in armies.
