What An American
Learned in England

The average American visitor
to this country is more concerned
with historical monuments and.
in having a good time than under
taking economic investigation.
But one thoughtful American
visitor. Mr.. Zach M. Gee. has
written for the July "World's
Work" an account of things
which struck him most forcibly
during winter sojourn in this
country. At the very beginning
of his article he hits upon the most
striking contrast between the two
countries. He says that in Amer
ica the seller dominates business,
so that the effort is always to ia
crease prices; in the United King
dom the buyer is the dominating
factor, and the tendency is to
lower prices. Let us take one of
the tramcars which carry the busy
thousands into Burnley, pictur-
esque Lancashire town. The ad-
vice is excellent; everybody has a
seat-the law SO requires; the fare
is one penny. Our landlady pays.

As for a thousand feet. The cleo
trio light in our room costs our
landlady about half what it costs
US in those American cities where
it is cheapest. Water is furnished
to every household at the actual
cost of transporting it. Our land
lady charges US considerably less
for board than we are accustomed
to pay-that is, if she charges us
her usual price-for she can af-
ford it. She buys fourteen pounds
of the "best American flour" for

pay IS for the same flour. She
buys twenty FIVE pounds of the
best grade of granulated sugar
for the equivalent OF a dollar; if
she lived in Louisiana, Michigan.
or Idaho. where this sugar grows.
she could get no more than from
fourteen to sixteen pounds OF the

1t is strange that the political
prognosticators for the parties
have failed to see in insurgency"
as it is variously manifested
the new revolution of the whole
people against conditions which
oppressed the whole people. The
revolution can not be called by
any existing party name; it is not
bounded by any particular party
lines; 1t is not against ones party
tyranny any more than the other
party's corruption, and it can not
be stayed by any piteous demand
for loyalty to regular party organ
ization.
The News welcomes. from
whatever quarter and under any
worthy leadership, every move
ment of the new revolution. We
have no partisanship to be
wounded by the defeat of private
ownership of public government,
and no purpose which is not to be
fulfilled by a restoration Of author
ity to the hands of free people.
And in this respect The News is
but holding its place in the ever
growing ranks of patriotic citi-
zenship. which has determined
that parties may be useful agen-
cies, but are dangerous command
ers.

Twenty Years Too Late.

Reports from various sections of
the country show that the brewers
are diligently at work on a sys-
tematic plan to place their ,%litera-
ture in the public libraries through
out the land. The liquor men have
certainly chosen a most effective
method of reaching the reading
public, but they are twenty years
too late. For over two decades
the w. c. T. U, has been educat-
ing the children in the day and
in the Sunday Schools and in the
Loyal Temperance Legions along
lines of scie ntific temperance, as
well as conducting a campaign of
information by the distribution of
literature. These children, now
grown to manhood and woman
hood, are not to be easily in
luenced by the false, though
often specious arguments now
placed before them by the liquor
men. For the length of time it
takes to make a voter, twenty-on
years-and longer-devoted tenn
perance workers have pursued
their task ~tirelessly and energetic
ally, and the change in public
sentiment is the result Of this
period of seed-sowing. With a
twenty year handicap, the brew
ers will find it somewhat difficult
to undo this work. Nevertheless,
1t behooves every white ribboner
to see to it that the pernicious pro-
liquor literature is kept out Of the
public library of her town.-Union

Mississippi Proud of Prohibition
Law.

Question: Are the people in Mis-
sissippi satisfied with prohibition
as a state wide factor?
Answer: A few weeks ago a
leading newspaper in Jackson, the
state capital, which has always
been a liquor publication, stated ::
"The progress of prohibition in
Mississippi was gradual, county
by county going dry through
more than a quarter of a century
by local option, only six counties
being wet at the time a state wide
prohibition law was carried. If
an opportunity were given for
elections, it is not probable that a
single county in the state would
go back to the saloon regime"
Even saloon sympathizere adj
nit the great increase of business
in the small, as we'll as in the large
towns. The assessment ENROLL
ments show large increase of tax
able property; the towns are
growing rapidly, the building of
homes being noticeable every
where; cities are being paved;
many are securing municipal
ownership of all public utilities;
in rural districts the negroes go
home from town in wagons loaded
with furniture and provisions, in
stead of themselves being loaded
with liquor and in debt to their
merchants-as was the case when
the saloons were getting their
earnings.
Crimes have decreased; churches
have increased in membership and
their financial disbursements were
never SO great as now; the public
school appropriation has been in
creased three quarters OF a million
dollars; a great system OF agri-
cultural high schools has been
established; S. T. l. posters, at
the expense of the state have been
ordered for every public school
room in Mississippi; a state
normal college and a state charity
hospital on a large scale have
been provided for, and the SAL
aries of teachers increased.
There is a general air of pros.
perity and hopefulness in spite of
most cripling devastations by the
boil weevil in the cotton crops and
the tremendous fall in the price of
lumber-these being Mississippi's
chief products.
The law is we'll enforced except
in a few cities whose municipal
governments are not in sympathy /;
in these it may be said to be fairly
well enforced. Mississippi is not
only satisfied with her prohibition
law but she is proud of it.-Union
Signal.
