SELLING Bread by WEIGHT.

New York's experiment in selling
bread by weight will be watched with
interest to see how 1t satisfied the
public. The modern bakery has al
most completely driven from the ia
bic "the kind that mother used to
make" The chief fault found with
1t is in the size of the loaf. 1t is very
easy to skimp, and in an article which
makes up SO large a part of the fam.
lily dietary a little taken off amounts
up in the course OF week. One OBJ.
lection advanced to selling by weight
is that bread may be made heavy and
soggy; but 1t would seem that the
housewife can be let alone to sec that
the loaf comes up to the standard.
There is still competition enough
among bakeries to cause them to ex-
ert themselves to please in quality as
well as Notwithstanding Tele.

followed the action that made the
Monongalia Democrats sore. Tile

Growth Of Murder.
(Ohio State Journal

The United States is fast winning
for itself the title OF the "land Of
murder" Last year there were about
$1,000 No other nation had so many
really not an eight as many. We had
90 murders here to one they had in
Japan. that little country whose civ
llization we seem to fear SO much.
Two reasons are generally given
for this deplorable fact: first, the laws
against carrying concealed weapons
are not enforced. A handy revolver
is an melting cause to murder. AS
long as their sale Is not prohibited
there will be plenty around to com:
nit murder Even the possession Of
revolver, for sale or otherwise,
should be made jail oirense. The
revolver Is public enemy.
And then, the negligence and in.
action OF our judicial tribunals. This
is a terrible situation. To be effective,
Justice has 10 be aggressive, but II
is not that wayal att. 1t hangs back
as II It was afraid. 1t loiters, flashes
strolls about, looks up the law in ar
