The people of the state showed a
lack of a sense of Justice when they
voted down at the last election the
proposition to amend the constitution
SO as to give the legislators more pay
than the meager, trivial three dollars
a day which they now receive. AL
ready have several propositions look
ing to this end been presented TO the
legislature and one of them will be
submitted to the people again at the
next election They should be glad
OF another and early opportunity to
correct the mistake they made at the
last election

FTrLL LEASED WIRE REPORT
OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Many OF the congresses of the past
have been styled as having been of
the ~do-nothing' variety. but the pres
ent short session of the federal legis-
1ature will evidently go down in his
tory as the champion in this regard.

And still is the good fight for pure
food going on in this state. A meas
ure has been prepared for the con-
sideration of the legislature which
will make the existing statutes on
this subject much stronger. No piece
of legislation will prove more popu-
lar with the people. The taste of real
things in the food line that has been
given them by the existing pure food
laws have just nicely whetted their
appetites for more of the same sort of
legislation. There is no need, how
ever, of going to legislative extremes
in this matter as in others.

The acquittal of Thornton Hains on
Ia first degree murder charge for aid
ling and abetting his brother, Captain
sHains in killing William E. Annis, was
to have been expected. In these days
of 'timpulsive insanity" +'dementia
americana" and other things, it is
well nigh impossible to convict a per-
son with means at his disposal to en-
HpIoy attorneys and alienists, of a cold
sblooded murder, let alone convicting
Ror even endeavoring to convict an ac-
fcessory to such a crime. All of which
Ewould rather lead to the conclusion
fthat the big criminal lawyers in the
hand are getting too smart for the
laws

Probably the members of congress
will pass the bill authorizing the con-
struction of a dam across the James
river in Missouri for the development
of electric power over the veto of
President Roosevelt for the no better
reason than to show him that they
have little regard for his ideas or
wishes on any subject Things were
different, though when Mr.. Roose-
welt had four years OF service in the
presidential chair ahead of him.

BLAMING THE MAN.

According to the earliest annals man
promptly blamed the woman when con-
fronted with his first serious RESPONSE
biIity. But the sex lost no time in pay
ing back in his own coin. Nor has the
account been settled Here, for in
stance, is a woman of popular promi-
nence who says that man is the in
spiriation that prompts extravaganza
in dress of the modern woman. She
adds that in New York the splendor of
the wife's dress frequently enhances
the husbands business credit. Hence
the woman feels it her duty to dress
we'll in order to uphold the mans
financial standing. Other women re-
sort to dress as a means to grapple
mans love. AS this authority some
what F'renchily remarks: THE CO.
quetry of clothes is the best safeguard
against masculine indifference" She
admits that there may be some truth
in the hackneyed tradition that women
wear fine clothes to make other women
envy them, but she says the only rea-
SON worth considering is the fact that
men expect the sex to dress well, and
even demand it.-Cleveland Plain Deal

FRON OTHER PENS
NEW VARIETY OF INSANITY

NEW VARIETY OF INSANITY.
Every time there is a murder trial
in high life, we get a new variety of
insanity. The Hains case has produced
'1mpulsive" insanity, which must not
be confounded with exaggerated ego,
the type of craziness developed by the
Thaw case. We cannot gather any
clear idea OF tho newly discovered
madness except that it has something
to do with an impulse. Maybe the i'm
pulse is the cause and maybe it is
the effect of the mental disorder, but
the effect on the other party in the af-
fair is the same, either way. The i'm
pulse or the insanity or both always
last until he is kiffkd. The sure cure
for the disease is TO let the patient
kill one of his enemies, for the recov-
cry is then rapid and permanent A
strange feature of fnapulsive insanity
and kindred types is that they never
attack any persons but those who
move in good society. or have done
so. No person with an income of less
than $4,000 year was ever known to
be so afflicted. There must be cause
and effect about that circumstance
Dissipation in an ordinary person i'm
pairs the mind and blunts the ability
to distinguish between right and
wrong. Some misdemeanor or crime
is likely to follow. Dissipation in the
more limited class produces eccentri-
city first and afterWard impulsive in
sanitS.-St. Paul Dispatch.

HONOR IN HONEST WORK.


A true sense of proportion should
show us, however, that as all are not
fitted for the same field of work. so
also it would be fatal for all to under
take the same line of endeavor. Where
would the great ~bdhevolences of the
Salvation Army be, for example, or
Rescue Missions, or Doors of Hope,
without the contributions of rich men
who are immersed in business and
shrewd in bargains?
There is honor in all honest work.
Even Mr.. Carnegie gives the world a
sentiment that would be hard to sur
pass when he says that the only meas
ure of a mans value is the service he
renders. This service must be render
ed in different fields. In some it is
given to bind up the broken hearted
and visit the fatherless and widows in
their affliction. But the main work of
the world must go on by means of the
great army of laborers and capitalists.
The great general, the millionaire
banker, the man of learning. the SOL
dier in the battles van, the seaman
before the mast are as necessary to
the worlds work as self-sacrifcing
women are to it's solace.-Indianapol
