The odor of Clay.

The peculiar odor of clay is un- questionably due to organic ingre C. ents. Although this cannot be isolat- ed or detected by chemical analysis, they can be classified according to their physiological effects, which vary widely. Rohland has succeeded in transferring the odors of clay to sac charate of iron and has thus recog- nized 10 distinct varieties. Louis has made similar observations. employing ammonia as vehicle for the odors.

The Real RsformeE.

The true reformer is he who ere ates new institutions and gives them life and energy, and trusts to them for throwing off~sueh evil humOrs as may be lying in the body polite. The true reformer is the seminal reformer, not the radical. And this is the way the Sower, who went forth to SOW his seed, did really reform the world, without making any open assault to uproot what was already existing.- Author unknown.

PUT THE BLAME ON
STRIKERS OF COURSE


Chicago-Sympathizers with the un-
ion iron workers and sheet metal work
ers are believed by the police to be
responsible for a dynamite explosion
which wrecked several tons of steel
window frames yesterday on the prem
Uses Of the Mccormick works of the
International Harvester Company at
West 51st and Rockwell streets.
Some one placed four sticks of dy-
mantle under the piles.I Three Of them
blew up and the fourth was found sew
eral feet away with burned-out fuses.
So great was the force Of the explosion
that deep holes were tern in the earth
and some of the steel was blown 300
feet.
Business agents of the sheet metal
workers appeared at the job two days
ago and the anti-unionists say they
threatened the non-union men from
Philadelphia unless they stopped work
ing. The loss by the explosion is
about $4,000.

From the Labor Point Of View

proved the awakening OF the soclal
conscience. Also the extent of the
awakening was clearly shown. Appar-
emily note has been taken of the ex-
istence of the victim of social cond1-
lions; some sympathy with their suf-
feringss has been shown; some efforts
to relieve are being made. As might be
expected, these efforts are confined to
sticking plasters on the sores. 1t is by
no means proposed to renovate the So
cial system.
Freedom is the only measure that
can cure the ills of restriction. While
we must submit to laws which we be-
ieve unjust, and legal decisions which
strengthens the hands of despo1lers.
we cannot be said to be free We
might at least have vote on the laws.
Ills of monopoly and child-labor would
quickly disappear if we had. The in
itiative and referendum, noticed in the
Sycamore platform, would open the
way for a. better civilization. 1t did
not receive the consideration it's i'm
portance deserved at the conference.
with this right shall many more
Enter smiling at the door;
With this giant wrong shall Iall
Many others, great and small,
That for ages long have held us for
their prey"
The work of the unions received lit
tie recognition and the army of the un-
employed attracted but little attention.
The monopoly of the land and necessi-
ties of life, the exactions- of privilege,
and many more matters that must be
settled before better conditions prevail,
were passed with scant attention. Child
labor, the negro problem, and the evils
of the liquor traffic can only be cured
after some of these fundamental ques>
lions are settled right.

STARTS MOVE TO STOP
ENGLAND'S OPIUM GRAFT

London, July 8.-Bishop Charles H,
Brent, Of the Episcopalian Church in
the Philippines, who has been dele
gate to the world missionary confer
ence at Edinburgh, is endeavoring to
secure the consent of the British gov
eminent to the opium conference at
The Hague, proposed by the State De-
partment, to give effect to the decis-
ions reached by the Shanghai confer
ence. Accompanied by Ambassador
Reid, the bishop today talked with
Premier Asquith, Sir Richard Grey,
the minister for foreign affairs, and
Lord Morley, the secretary for India.
While not unwilling to go into another
conference, the Indian government, for
economic reasons, is not prepared to
go as far as the reformers desire in
the matter of increasing the reduction
Of the production of opium. Bishop
Brent is hopeful that an amicable
arrangement may be reached.
A considerable part of the revenue Of
the Indian government is derived from
the export of opium to China and the
Straits Settlements. In 1907-08, the last
fiscal year recorded, 1890 chests of
Bengal opium were sold for export, on
which the net revenue to the govern
ment was about $17,SSo,OOO. Severe reg
uIations for the control of the growth
and sale of opium were issued by the
Chinese government in 1906. Two years
later the British minister at Picking
made an agreement with the Chinese
foreign office, by which $1,000 chests
of opium should be the standard
amount to be decreased yearly by
800 chests, and the importation stop
ped after ten years.

Two subjects should come f1rsa a 1
rect legislation and the land question
These properly disposed of. there woulc
be no unemployed and no political cor;
ruption, and but few monopolies. The
scant attention they received indicates
that the public conscience is not ye.
awake enough to seek causes for ills
and to right wrongs.
One thing struck me peculiarly. The
conference, composed largely of pro-
Tossing Christians, followed Theodore
Roosevelt's pernicious misuse of the
word muck raker." Hurn again to
the account of Christian and be Inter
prefer, in 1.-The Pilgrims Progress.
There the rich man, that is, the one
who gathered to himself the worthless
wealth of this world, was the muck
raker. 1t was the Spirit of God him
self that exposed the folly and wrong
doing of the man of wealth to. whom
Bunyan gave the muck rake. Roose-
velt's perverse transportation of terms
has done untold harm, covering with
odium a body of self-sacrificing public
spirited men doing good work for
human progress, and elevatlng wrong
doors to a sort of martyrdom. Chris
tians. at least, should repudiate this
evil Interpretation of a useful, inspir-
ing, spiritual allegory.
Nothing but good can come of such
gatherings of earnest men and women
as at the Sycamore Conference All
lovers of right and progress and mer-
cy owe. deep debt of gratitude to it's
protector, Mr.. George VIZ Coleman, pub
