Offers Biz Reward

The National Woolgrowers' asso- citation has offered a reward of $500 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons whom it is claimed placed the association in a false position as favoring the reduction of the tariff on wool. It is claimed that unknown parties issued a circular from the Wells-street Sta ton, Chicago. entitled: "Thirteen good reasons for lowering the tariff on wool"
 The circular also bore the state ment: "For additional copies ad- dress George s. Walker, secretary National Wool Growers associa- tion."
 Secretary Walker denies all knowledge of the circular, and de- clares that the wool growers have made a strong fight to uphold the tariff on wool. He characterizes therein as libelous and misrepre- sentation of facts.

WANTON CRITICISM INJURIOUS

How much pleasanter this old world would be for everybody if this rule were generally followed: never to comment adversely upon or disparage anybody or any thing or any act or motive, without q definite design and hope to better the conditions of living.
 It does no good to complain of the weather. It does no good for a woman to talk to another woman of cooks failings or of the dust. It does no good for a man to accuse public officials of graft, and then forget to pay his poll tax. It does no good to tear down unless you have something to put in place of the ruin or at least to suggest as an improvement.
 The sculptor with his mallet and chisel produces a marvel of beauty. chipping away the marble and destroying" the rock by reducing it's size. But he is creating some- thing worth while out of material placed here for mans use. The vandal comes along, and with his mallet he ruins the sculptor's mas- terpiece and turns the rock to dust. The worst of government is still government. Destroyed, anarchy follows, which is worse than the worst government. Some men are always busy tearing down other mems character and reputation. Are they as busy to build up their own character, and the reputation of useful and honorable men?
 Nil nisi bonum-nothing unless good-may be carried to extremes, for there are times when criticism and condemnation are essential preliminaries to improvement. It is right to criticise bad government if you work for better government It is right to speak of the imper. fections of a book or house, if in in doing so you hape to accomplish real improvement in other books and houses, and "better the con. dition of living" even to the extent of improving your own mind and habits of thought and observation But wanton criticism, idle and worthless, leading to no improve ment and unaccompanied by any creative act, is simply an indica tion of a barren intellect and g little soul.-El Paso Herald.

Biz Hole in the Ground

Another matter of great interest disclosed in the report is the con- clusion reached after careful inves- tigation in regard to the wonderful depression in the earth's surface near Canyon Diablo, Ariz. IL is three-quarters of mile in diam- eter, circular in shape and about 500 feet deep, having much the ap- pearance of a vast crater. Careful study and investigation, however, show that the region is not and never has been volcanic, and the conclusion is reached beyond doubt that the immense hole was made by gigantic meteor, which smashed it's way through the solid rock and was itself dissipated by the fierce heat generated by the impact. That was a bullseye hit whoever fired the shot, and if that kind of mis- sile begins to fly to any considera- ble extent it will look like iudg- ment day, sure enough. After such an occurrence it is easy enough to imagine the earth being struck by a mass of metal that would knock it away out of it's orbit and trans form it's solid mass into flame and smoke.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

THE New York court of appeals in a recent decision made three i'm portant declarations, as follows: First, seats in a passenger coach are made for passengers to sit in; second, seats are not for goods, chat tel or baggage; third, seats con taining baggage are, in the eyes oi the law, vacant. That is certainly good sense and common courtesy it is a pleasure to know that it is also a good law.

THE GENTLE ART OF DYING

The death of Marion Crawford. the novelist, last week, was de- scribed with solemn simplicity in the dispatches. II die with Christi" he said, and then, at his request, his daughter read to him from Plato's dialogues. which, he said, taught him a good philosophy of death. His last words were: 'I enter serenely into eternity"
 It may have been matter of wonder to some that a man to whom all the literature, religious and philosophical, of the world was open should choose an ancient philosopher for his last reading. But the fact is that no sacred writ ings bring the subject of death before one in a more simple and directly comprehensible manner than does Plato. As to modern philosophers, they cannot, even with the help of the most minute scientific investigations, add word of any import to the many discus sions on the subject contained in Plato's dialogues.
 These dialogues are in reality ideal conversations between phil osophers. In one of them the condemned Socrates says: "The difficulty. my friends, is not in avoiding death, but in avoiding unrighteousness."
 Let us reflect in another way" runs the famous apology addressed to the men of Athens who were sending him to death, "and we sha II see that there is great reason to hope that death is good, for one or two things; either death is a state of nothingness and utter uncon- sciousness. or, as men say, there is a change and migration of the soul from this world to another. Now, if you suppose that there is no consciousness, but a sleep like the sleep of him who is undisturbed even by the right of dreams, death will be an unspeakable gain, for eternity is then only a single night. But if death is the journey to another place, and there, as men say, all the dead are, what good,

The Goldman Woman

There seems to be a reasonable hope that this country may get a final riddance of the pestiferous Emma Goldman, doubtless the most unreclaimable termagant that ever trod American soil. The fact that such creatures under our laws can go freely about advocating ar son and assassination almost makes one long for the restoration of the ducking stool of our forefathers, whose use is really the most appro. propriate method of dealing with such as she. Happily she does not disgrace American blood, for there is not drop of American blood in her, but her existence among us, as we'll as that of the whole nest of alien anarchists who hang around her, is a disgrace to American law, says the s. F. Chronicle.
 It appears that she was once married to an alien periurer named Kersner. As it is not of record, however, that Kersner ever killed anybody or tried to do so, he evil dently didn't suit, and watching her chance. when a particularly ferocious brute was leaving the penitentiary, she contracted an alleged marriage with him without troubling herself to get divorce, adding thereby the crime of bigamy to her other misdeeds. It having been discovered that Kersner per- jured himself to get his naturaliza- ton papers. he will be deported, and it appears that under the law Emma, his alien wife, must go with him. All decent Americans will hope that it may turn out so, for she belongs to class forbidden by our immigration laws to land on our shores.

SOME WHY'S OF MORALITY
(By & Woman Reader.)

Why should a man live a life of social sin, breaking every week of his existence the seventh com mandment, and yet be looked upon by society with favor?
 Why is it that if woman makes one misstep in the obeying of this same commandment society points it's finger in scorn at her, tramples and crushes her to the earth? Why is the acknowledged fast man looked on with such favor?
 Why is he thought so much more os because he is sowing or has sowed his wild oats?
 Why do you women so unmerci- fully tramp under foot the woman whom the wiles of the same man has doomed?
 Women. is this just, is it right eous? Do we women desire to elevate our own sex, to rise out of the position of slave to the right one of equal?
 Instead of putting to shame a fallen sister, take her by the hand help her to a higher standard oi life, and instead of courting the acquaintance of her traducer tram pie his reputation in the mud, shut him out from within the circle of all pure society.
 If women have too much self. respect to associate with members of their own sex who are immoral why does not this same self-respec' keep them from associating with members ot the opposite sex who are sinners?
 Where is your noble womanhood that you do not try to remedy one of the greatest wrongs of social life? It is your Christian duty your duty to your sister women and your duty to your children.
 Can any man tell you why it is that a man will shoot another mar down because he has wronged his wife or dauohter and call if hon orable, and meanwhile he himsel is no better? Where does he keeI his honor and his manliness while he wrongs another mans wife ol daughter?
 Do you men believe in civiliza tion? Is it not a mans duty tt uphold the virtue of the world Sure, men make the laws; it is thei first duty to abide by them.
