HOW OLD IS THE WORLD.

The researchers of the first students
Of geology showed them that there
must have heen vast ages in the
worlds history-sges during which
thousands Of feet Of rocks were laid
down under water, ages during which
strange races of animals came into be-
ing, flourished and then passed away
to make room for other strange races.
The theologians did not accept this.
and the battle ragged for years, the
scientists maintaining that the day"
were periods oftime. perhaps millions
Of years long.
But no sooner had peace been pro.
claimed than a new dispute arose.
The geologists did not pretend to mea.
sure the earth's age exactly, but cal.
culated that 300 million years was a
modest estimate. A new science was
being developed by the physicists, and
their calculations put the earth's age
at only from twenty to thirty million
years.
Now comes another order of scien.
fists, those who are investigating those
queer elements, radium, helium and
the like. All the old ideas of the pro.
perties of things have been upset, for
s)me Of these new and wonderful SUBJ
stances have the strange power Of
transforming themselves into new
forms Of matter. 1t is all very new
but already it is announced that the
geologist seems TO he right. Freshly
mined thorianiie contains an amount
of the new substance. helium, that it
would take 24O million years to gener-
ate, as measured by careful expert.
ments; hence, that is the minimum age
thst the world must have. Trial ex-
periments upon pitchblend seems to
give a similar result. When the new
and careful experiments already begun
are completed they expect to have
proof that will satisfy all doubters.
So the biologists may be vindicated
by method Of research that was not
dreamed Of when men first began to
hammer at rocks in the infancy of one
of the most fascinating Of studies

LAFOLLETTE UNMASKED.

Ii there is blatant anti tariff
shonter III Congress, it is Senator La
Toilette, of Wisconsin. He fairly
raves in his abuse of the Aldrich.
Payne tariff, and bowls about "mOn.
opoIy," privilege" predatory trusts, u
etc, with demagogic fervor. But
when it comes to anything Wisconsin
wants, this fierce free trader for the
products of other states becomes a high
prOtectiOnist in short Order-a salient,
illustration Of the Hancock theory.
OF course, Cannon and Cannonism
have no louder opponent than this
Wisconsin firebrand, whose professed
love of the people is only surpassed by
his actual love IF Office. In his Kan
sas speech, during the primary cam
psign, Speaker Cannon showed the
utter humbuggery of LaFollette's
low tariff professions, and his agoniz-
ing concern for the consumers, in the
following forceful paragraphs:
Il refused to make a dicker with
some of the big publishers whereby
they were to toot my horn in return
for free print paper, and now they are
abusing me. Some magazines and
newspapers are making their wares
like the Yankee made razors, to sell.
They are feeding the public on misre.
presentations, believing that the PEG.
pie want it: The tariff on print paper
has caused the republican party more
trouble than any other one thing.
What happened when we tried to re.
duce duty on print paper to 50 ton?
Why, that archangel of reform from
Wisconsin, who talks six hours at q
time at Chautauquas denouncing the
tariff, solemnly arose and said that
the old duty of Sc a ton was not high
enough for the Wisconsin paper mills.
And we had to compromise by making
the tariff 1915 ton instead of 50, as
the house had voted"
Yet a lot ofnewspapers which make
such hue and cry over the duty on
print paper delight in abusing Uncle
Joe Cannon and in praising Bob La
Toilette, who would more than double
the tariff on it if he could have his
way.-Troy Press.

AN AMAZING THING.

There were many surprises in the
recent Nebraska primary election and
a number of amazing things transpir.
ed, but nothing more amazing than
the vote that Dshlman got in Ian
caster county and in Lincoln for the
nomination of governor of the state.
Governor Shallenberger was not un.
popular in his party. He had made
very satisfactory governor. He was
also quite acceptable to the republi-
cans. He was not an offensive parti-
san on the liquor question. He was
not a radical either way. His signing
of the 3 o'clock closing law bill
brought him no condemnation from
the thoughtful "wets." for he could
have consistently done nothing else.
Mayor Dahlman's vote against Mr..
ShalIenberger in Lincoln, therefore,
cannot he accounted for on the ground
ofShallenbergers unpOpularity. Mr..
Dahlman's hattie cry was "DOwn
with Lincoln, Let us remove the
capital from that accused city"
And under this rallying cry he got
531 more democratic votes in Lancas.
ter county than Shallenberger.
How can you account for such sui
cidal decision on the part Of our voters?
1t does not explain it to say his sup
porters were anti.county optionists,
who wanted to show forth their
sentiments. They could vote for
ShaIlenberger and have been consist.
ent, for the democratic state platform
was anti county option, and Shallen.
berger's position WAS not offensive to
them.
For a citizen of Lincoln or vicinity
to vote for Dahlman was to vote for
the loudest enemy Linc"ln ever had.
1t was to vote for the injury of their
own town, and their own property.
1t is an amazing thing. that vote

SAMPLE JUSTICE.


Yesterdays reports announced that

Lee O'Neill Browne, the Illinois legis.

interest Of Senator Lorimer. In all
700 veniremen were examined before
the twelve were accepted, a proceed.
ing occupying Learly three weeks.
This. it should be remembered, is the
second trail of Browne. The first en-.
ded in q hung jury. the tenacity Of one
or two jurors being sufficient to save
him.
This is an old story. but it will re-
quire telling some more thousands Of
times. Wise men tell US the greatest
danger to our country lies in our law
lessness, in the number Of unpunished
murders, lynchiDgs, thieving. When
failure to convict criminals is our ma.
tional menace, and that failure is due
to the failure Of our judicial processes.
what remedy is indicated"
The answer is not easy, for care
needs be taken that conviction is not
50 swift as 10 imperil innocence. But
in the great Hau trial in Germany q
year or 50 ago, trial equal in public
interest to our own Thaw trial, jury
was empaneled in ten minutes. The
case was ended in five days, and no.
body doubted that justice was done.
They do as we'll in England. The
thing is obviously not impossible.
A great difficulty in the Browne
case lies in the fact that the entire
graft organization ofthe state Of ILL.
nois is defending Brown. This in
wolves the machines of both political
parties, politicians from the least to the
greatest, and business interests rang
ing from fish poachers to captains of
industry. The courts cannot altogeth.
er be blamed if they work badly
with such enormous influence busy
blocking the wheels ofjustice. When
the defense can have 100 private de-
tectives putting in their time fixing
prospective jurymen the way Of JUS
tice is manifestly hard.
But. that something could be done
with the machinery ofjustice to faci.
litate the output ofjustice even law
yers and judges agree. In Brownies
case the mistrial would have been
prevented under system Of allowing
a verdict by something less than a
unanimous vote. It's a poor lawyer
who cannot get as many rs one striker
on his jury. Scotch juries Of fifteen
decide by majority vote. and there is
NO such complaint Of Scotch justice as
there is of Ours.-State Journal.

PACKING A GUN,

There are few habits more danger

people and known as packing a gun. u
That is the vernacular, meaning car.

taken toll of thousands of valuable
lives.
Every man who packs a gun" is
potentially murderer. He does NOT
carry the weapon as an ornament, and
it serves no useful purpose. In fact,
itserves no purpose whatever save that
of taking life, and that is one which
should be sternly discouraged.
Almost every community has or.
dinances against this vicious practice.
Many states. likewise. have statutes
against it, and in some cases it is made
felony.
That is what should be done in all
cases. Exceptions may he made for

from wild animals and from lawless

OLDEST WOMAN ON EARTH.

Frau Dutkieviiz, living at Posen, in
Prussian Poland. has long enjoyed the
distinction Of being the oldest woman
in the whole world. She was horn on
February 81, 1875, and thus was 125
years old last February. However, q
Bulgarian peasant woman, named
BabavasiIka, and who has never quit.
ted her native village of Bavelsko, has
deprived the aged dame of Posen of
her record Of longevity, for the Bulga-
rian peasant was born in May, 1884,
and is thus nine months older.
For nearly one hundred years the
Bulgarian peasant has worked in the
fields; her descendants, who are nearly
a hundred in number, now make her
a joint allowance. The old dame re.
calls events that happened in the he.
ginning Of last century much more
easily than she can recall those Of the
last forty years.-Pall Mali Gazette.
