1.-THE PACE THAT KILLS"

A once charming actress is reported dying in a New
York hospital from 'the pace that ks''-an everyday
event-a mere drop of water in the boundess ocean Of
disaster from the same
The pace that kills does kill.
1t does not always kill quickly More's the pity. The
only escape from its killing effect is suicide and suicide
is but one of its methods Suicide may shorten the
of the pace, but does not BATTLE it.
The devil must laugh in dersion of the victim who
foosy seeks to escape the penalty by eapng headong
into his pit through suicide The devil may be cheated
of some chance to torture that victim earth, but he
has him safe enough, just the same.
But what the devil must like best is for the pace itself
to kill-to kill pecemeal
He must delight with truly Internal fendishness to
the exceptionally bright young slowly but
surely turn dulard the active become sluggish the
bilious lose heart and hope and faith the prosperous feel
the pinch of poverty
the fee flush sickly paor the bright eye beary
the firm hand trembe the springng gait become stag
ger 81 uffe
How tie devil must laugh to see self control, power
sef-respect pride hope manhood steal away by
leaving the victim to suffer out miserable existence
alone and to be earsck in the midst of gayey and
die alone in the midst Of life!
Surely nothing delight the devil than to see
his victim take the tempting bait and the barbed hook
and then to play with him the cruel sportsman plays
with the game trout knowing he is at the end of
the line
1t is fine fun for the devil but poor profit for the victim
What wonderful thing the law of compensation is!
We may jugge with the laws Of nature for WHILE but
the good old laws continue in force just the same We
can't alter them evade them
The pace that kills has its aurements 1t has it's noy
ment, for a while
But day, gross habits form prison that cannot
be broken and life is narrowed down by hateful bondage
and early death
The pace that kills offers many promises.

these things without being married
all well, or they will marry to get
them, but with no more idea of

This issue of the Tribune COM
pletes its fifteenth year. We had
expected to celebrate this event by
issuing special number next week,
which will be No /. of Vol. 16.
This number, we had figured, was
to be known as development
Number and was to be especially
designed to be sent out to people
whom it might be desirable to at
tract to the advantages Of our coun-
ty. Other considerations have,
however, led US to delay the issue
of the development Number for
some time. One reason was that
the project grew on our hands so
rapidly that we found it impossible
to do it justice in the brief time at
our disposal. Our anniversary GEL
ebration will therefore be a very
modest one, separated entirely from
the larger project. Its main
feature will be the adoption of a
new head, artisti"ally drawn espe-
cially for the Tribune.

A young man III miners garb who
was prospecting behind the powders

just made up his mind to cross the
stream that zigzagged down the can

swinging along up the trail toward

turned and walked away that he might
not witness the meeting between the
two.
The girl did not need to turn her
head to know who was coming. There
was an unmistakable individuality in
the shuttling steps. and recognition
brought look of annoyance to her
face as she continued her work.

Some apologists for the robber
tariff in this city would hide behind
the high prices of farm products
and claim that the high prices of
those articles are not caused by the
tariff and hence one should not take
for granted that other high prices
are caused from the same. The
following point made by the Week.
ly Jeffersonian applies with equal
force to all other farm products
that are sold in the worlds markets
in competition with the products
of other countries:
"Mr. Boutell, one of the Illinois
Congressman, made, last week, an
aggressive speech in favor Of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff. MIR. Henry,
of Texas, mixed in; and as the SUBJ
ject under debate was high prices,
Mr.. Boutell shot at Mr.. Henry the
question:
is cotton too high?" Henry
hesitated, stammered, and went
down mid the uproarious derisive
laughter of the Republicans.
"And yet, to answer, is so easy.

sight to see young men leave the
farm which might easily become
their own and make them indie
pendent for life, crowd into the
cities to take up work as Deepen
dent employees in many cases with
only a months uncertain pay be-
tween themselves and want, with
nothing to sustain them in case of
sickness or business depression?
The American farmer who is out of
debt has a right to feel as indepen-

limited chances for him to develop
his brains and talents right on the
farm if he is ambitious to improve.

irwin Fisher, professor in politi-
cal economy at Yale University. has
a lengthy treatise on the cost and
cure Of the rise Of prices on necess-
aries of life in the last issue of the
American Review of Reviews. At
the close he adds the following sig
nificant paragraph:
"Yet, after all has been said and
done toward adjusting interest,
wages, and other conditions to ad-
vancing prices, we cannot expect
any satisfactory or permanent cure
unless it will prevent the rise OF
prices itself. In other words, what
is needed is a stable monetary
standard. Gold is not such a stand
ard. It would be useless here to
attempt the solution of this gigan-
tic problem, but the first step to-
wards solving any public problem
is to secure public recognition of
its existence. As soon as we real
ize that the gold platform on which
we all stand is not solid but sink
ing, we shall begin to contrive
methods of securing stability
Shades of old McCleary! Per-
haps the old greenback idea that
both gold and silver be dispensed
with as basic money and a currency
system be adopted based in it's issue
on the idea Of maintaining the
general price level of all chief COM
modities, was not such visionary,
crazy, idea after all? Hunt up YOUR
old copy of Ignatius Donnelly' s
book The Golden Bottle" and see
what a clear vision this old time
populist statesman had on this gold
business.
Its going to be pretty hard for
the money lords to convince their
late dupes Of the necessity of dem
onetizing gold after all they said
about it's stable and intrinsic value
in the days Of the late Mark Hanna,
but the people will have to be ed
ucated on the subject, and the poor,
despised farmer had better make
hay while the sun shines and get
out of debt as far as possible before
the "methcds of securing stability
be contrived."
