yond human intelligence to say. and if some crank should say that 1t Is neces- sary-fn the interest of reform" to abolish the whole of womankind, and introdnce bill in the Legislature to carry out his ides We should dislike to bet that the measure would not pass. It would be about on a par with some iatter-day legislation.
 Just why men should have such an almost general habit of trying to blame women for everything Is one of the mysteries of life. unless he does 1t to show his mental and physical superior ity: which. by the way. often exists only in his own mind. In the priuieval age of human existence the man was brute and the woman was his slave. She was very slightly removed in his estimation from the beasts around him, and received no better treatment She was the burden-bearer as we'll as the child-bearer. and was not supposed to AoFe any rlHhts ar privileges except such as the master chose to allow her. We have advanced very much in civil ization and in most other respects since we came up from savagsry. but we have not ridden ourselves fully of the habit of blaming the other sex for everything that dispieases us.
 And while We are about 1t we are somewhat curious to know why The Journal man is so grouchy on the sub ject of wearing trousers. Does he want to go about with nothing on him but breech-cloth? or does he wish to wear skirts? What is his idea of mans proper dress. anyhow? We bet he would stand up on his rear feet and howl the air blue if the women should discard dresses and adopt trousers. much as he appears disgruntIed be- cause. as he argues, the women forced the men to wear them We suspect the editor had been eating something that disagreed with him, and this out burst was the result of 1t of indiges- tion.

A Little Easy on The Democratic

 The South Bend Tribune makes the curious assertion that The New York World seems to doubt that there will be a Democratic party" in 1s12. The World harhors no huch doubts. There will be a Democratic party. The main question is, What kind of a Democra tic party will 1t be?
 The danger of death is not so i'm minent as the danger of paralysis Democracy Is the oldest political party In the world.

rnEsERyINe THE srnEAMs.

The government experts. in estimat- ing the value of electrical and other mechanical power, place the money value of one horsepower at thirty three dollars year. as we have seen it stated. While this may not be talk en as accurate under all conditions and circumstances we assume 1t to be suf- feiently so for all practical purposes of comparison.
 There is no little significance in this fact. if we think of 1t. It was not so significant in former days as 1t is now In the old times they depended on wat CT power. or steam or horses. and in either case the power must he used where 1t was generated. Now that electricity has become so common the case is quite different. for that is a power that can be conveyed to almost any distance without losing its efficien- cy and the comparative expense is not great
 All that Is necessary to bring us to full appreciation of the significance of the government estimate is to con slider the almost limitless opportunity for generating electric power that can he seen on every hand. If there Is even moderate fall 1t requires but little water to produce one horse pow CT, whether 1t is used direct or trans- formed Into electric power. In almost any portion of the country are to be found streams and waterfalls capable of developing all the power needed for local use. even if 1t is not conveyed to distance as is now being done everywhere
 And this is why the protection and conservation of our streams fig of late occupying so much of both public and private attention. Steam power Is not only expensive, but the fuel to produce 1t is fast disappearing. and the time cannot be far distant when there will be no more of 1t. Horsepower is val Iabls to only very limited extent. but water-power transformed Into electric force Is practically without limit
 And the streams ought to be preserv- cd and protected. even if 1t were for nothing but their financial value as producers of power. If private indi- viduais cannot or will not preserve them 1t will become the duty of the government to do so. It is not for day nor for a year but for all time, so far as we can tell. The future may develop some form of power for mans use that will supercede electricity, but that is not yet apparent, and for any thing we can tell that will be mans dependence for all future time.
 And SD we say that aside from the many other good and valid reasons why our streams and waterfalls shauId ne protected. there Is sufficient reason for protecting them in the fact that they are now supplying much of the motive power of human industries, and must furnish more of 1t as time passea When the owner of a nice waterfall bears in mind that but little warer is required to produce one horse-powey which may he worth thirty-three dol lars year to him at some time in the future, he will begin to appreciate the value of his possessions, and will exer, himself to preserve the water as far as lies in his power.

selection of . Bishop.

bfrmingnam Age-Aeralu.
 The general conference of the Me thodist Episcopal Church. South, meets in Asheville next year, and the death of five bishops since the meeting in Birmingham causes all thoughtful members of that church to look for men who would fill the vacant seats. ' The Methodists of Alabama will as suredly present the name of Preslden! W. c. Mccoy of the Birmingham coll lege. He Is not only a student and an effective speaker but he is an ajmira- ble executive, This great church needs leaders with the all-round equipment of pr. Mccoy. and especial honors bid fair to come his way.
 These words are written wholly with out pr. McCoy's knowledge. He Is the last man in the orld to become a candidate for a bishoprio The ofice In his case will have to seek the man, and if it seeks Dr. Mccoy 1t will find a man of vigorous middle age amply equipped for every requirement. of the exalted position.

FLAMING THE WOMAN.

When the man who has the credit sf being the progenitor of all the rest of us--if there's any credit in twas taken to task by his Creator for the violation of plain commandment his somewhat whining reply wus "The woman tempted me-" and thus he per haps hoped to save himself from pun tshment. It was what most men would term cowardly plea, and one which brave man should not have resorted to. If he had loved Eve as a good hus- band should love his wife he would not have tried to evade the penalty but would have shared 1t with her. what ever that penalty might have been.
 And yet we should not be over hard on Adam, unless we go further and plead in Justification of some of mans later offenses of the same nature that Adam transmitted his weakness to hts posterity for all time. The man of the present cannot truthfuIly deny that the Adamic way of putting the blame on the woman still sticks to him, and ia made to do duty whenever he wants to wriggle out of tight place. About the worst exhibition of this trait that we have seen Is handed out by The Providence Journal in these words:
 No living man of this age ever delib- erately chose toet'adopt trousers" He was forced into them and all other sc- centricities of dress by woman. In the very earliest sartorial experience of every man he Is swathed in queer bundle of incoherent bandages by a little dresses so that the neighbors can't tell him from his little sister Still later she cuts off his curls and puts him Into kniek and he the word and not before. That K an that man has to do or ever had to do with wearing trousers. Woman forced now he is afraid to wear anything else for fear of making nsat1on.
 Is not that about the limit? And what's the use of stopping there?" ironically asks The New Haven Regis ter. "who is responsible for every form of freak raiment ever laid upon mann Woman. in the last analysis. Who Is responsible for all the strange things that woman wears? It Is a ter rible thing to say. but if we follow ont that same line Of reasoning. we shall be obliged, however regretfully, to concede that she is the cuIprit Then why not take a short cut. and at once arrive at the conclusion that woman is blamabie for all clothes of every sort-responsible, In fact. for the invention of clothes In the first place.
 Then there is simple way out of oll our troubles sartoriaL Abolish wo- man-any Legislature will do 1t for you-and presently we shall be free rom the clothes obstacle-free in fact. to return to barbarism and eventually to limbo"

origin of a Phrase.

Westminster Gazette.
 Lord Morley first used this phrase in connection with the House of Lords in famous speech in St. James Hall in July, 1884. We learn from The Man chester Guardian that he used it again last Friday night at the opening of the University Union buildings. when, re- ferring to the discussions at Oxford in his undergraduate days, he spoke of their debates about "the. mending or the ending of great institutions" The first literary use of the phrase. our contemporary points out. seems to be in a passage of Scotts novel, "The Mon- astery," In which Halbert Glendinning exclaims; My fate sends me elsewhere to scenes where I shall end 1t or mend it." A year or two later Byron used 1t in "Don Juan: This is the way physicians mend or end us."

This Experiment is worth Trying.

Andalusia Star.
 Covington County needs about 5000. more farmers. How are we going to get themf The Star suggests that Covington County business men raise purse of $5,0o0 and run two special trains to Andalusia. Start one train. from Chicago, H., and one from De- trott, Mich. Give every farmer a free ride who wishes to come to Covington, County and investigate agricultural opportunities. It would be the greatest country. The fact that free trains were provided by men whose sole ob- Ject was to benefit all concerned would, create absolute confidence Every far mer who comes here--if he does not remain--would become a great adver- tiser of the county. An article of merit permits of the, widest publicity :. Our farm lands are cheap and product. i've. Try this experiment
