Grip With Us Again.

The elements are in a blue funk. The at

up the dorsal column and expand its es-

delicate tympanum throbs with an anvil
chorus. lassitude is overlaid with depres-

GOVERNMENT BY LAWYERS.

W f are fond Of saying that ours is a repre-
w sentative government, that the lower
branch Of Congress is the voice of the people
From this il would be supposed that Congress
represented all classes, but what difference
there is between Our Congress and the British
House of Commons
The House Of Commons is composed OF 66S
members, and as regards the occupations Of the
members, there IS great diversity. The law
yers are in the lead SO far membership is CON
cerned having 50 of the total membership. The
gentry and land owners come next with 20 mem
bers, and the men classed as laborers are third
with 40 members. The manufacturers have As
members brewers 4, distillers and wine mer-
chants Q. There are "A military officers -
university professors and lecturers two school
masters II ship owners and builders, IS shop
keepers and traders I3 farmers, 38 newspaper
proprietors and journalists three preachers three
auctioneers, civil or mining engineers I3 IRON
masters and metal merchants 45 are cassed as
"sons and brothers OF Peers and almost every
occupation has representative or more than
one.
A different story is told by an examination OF
the vocatons of our members of Congress.
There are 30I members of the lower house at
Washington, and Of this number $50 are lawyers
and r35 are followers of other calngs. In some
OF the states almost the entire congressional dele
cation is composed of lawyers and no vocation
other than that of the law is represented by any
considerable number.
By little stretch Of the imagination two
Congressman could be classed as "laborers.
Both are from Pennsylvania. One is official
Of the Mine Workers Union and another has
been prominent in labor circles, but he is classed
in the Congressional directory as farmer.
In some states like Massachusetts, New York
and Illinois, the lawyers are not in so large
majority as they are in other states. The South
is especially strong on lawyers
The British House OF Commons is more thor
oughly representative of the masses OF the Brit
ish people than our lower house of Congress IS
representative of the people in this country.
If man wants to go to Congress his chances
are much better if he is an attorney. Perhaps
in no other legislative body IN the world is the
proportion of lawyers SO large as in the Congress
of the United States We are surely governed
by the attorneys.

FEVER SALOONS
ARE REPORTED
License StatiStiS Show 6 Per
Cent Decrease Of Places
in 1907

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March There
was in 1897 a decrease of per cent. in the
number OF saloons throughout the coun-
try. according to the Z. s. Census Bu-
reau's forthcoming report on the statistics
OF the 15S largest cities which had a popu-
lation Of over 10000 each that year.
The report, prepared by chief of division
E. II. Mailing. contains complete statistics
of the number Of liquor licenses in force
at the close of the license year in each Of
the cities and the number of inhabitants
TO each dealer selling liquor by the drink
More than one-fourth Of such dealers in
the 15S largest cities were reported from
New York and Chicago; the cities Of over
10000 popu'ation with the smallest NUM-
bqr Of saloons were Washington (52l)- and
Pittsburg (Si9. In cities OF this class. the
largest number of saloons in proportion
to the population were in Milwaukee and
New Orleans where, IN the former, there
was one dealer selling liquor by the drink
10 every l42 inhabitants. and, in the latter.
TO every 200 inhabitants. The number OF
Inhabitants TO every dealer in Philadelphia
was 76i. and in Boston, 7sS The other

The smallest number of saloons in pro-
portion to population is shown for the
cities Of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts,
and the largest for those Of Texas, Ohio.
and Wisconsin.
IN comparing the number OF retail liquor
dealers in 1h cities reporting for both 1907
and 1905. it is shown there was a decrease
of 6 per cent. in the number Of saloons in
1907. The decrease was general in nearly
every part OF the country, except the
Rocky Mountain and Southwestern states.

Foundations That Last.

Foundations That Last.
New York World.
Mr.. Rocxefeler's .benefaction win be
considered for some time to come in the
light shed by Standard OIL. Motives viii
be ascribed. Doubts will be expressed.
The money taint viii be suggested.
Yet it is reasonably certain that in due
season the good which this splendid gift
must accomplish viii be separated in
mems minds from the methods OF the
grinding monopoly through which the
Rockefeller fortune was accumulated. The
hundreds of millions which go to estab-
lish the new Foundation for the advance
ment Of civilization. the spread OF knowl-
edge and the relief of suffering will not
make privilege, extortion and monopoly
more tolerable. That much is sure. Prop
erly used every one of these dollars will
work forever against repetition Of such
wrongs.
This IS not the only Foundation whose
bedrock cannot be serntinized agreeab y.
Empires, thrones, aristocracies. society it,
self. rest too often upon beginnings OF
which no one is proud. Fortunes gained
in slaves. in strange practices on the
Spanish Main, in smuggling. in carrying
rum to aborigines, in extortion, in con-
quest, IN downright piracy, long ago fur
nished energy. culture and devotion on the
right side in many fight for liberty and
progress. Without money derived from
sources now looked upon with disfavor
some Of the worlds greatest heroes could
not have rounded out their careers.
The onenses of Standard oil are one
thing. The benevolent employment Of
some Sf its hundreds Of millions is an
other Mr. Rockefeller's gift does not b OF
out in any degree the record made by his
corporation or relieve him of the fullest
responsibility for his part in its affairs.
1t stands by itself and is to be judged by
its purposes and uses only. If they shall
be kindly, humanzing. enlightening and
just they viii serve not so much to OBJ
scure as to darken and render forbiddine
the practices that made the accumulation
possible.
What is called business varies greatly
from age to age. In many respects 1t is q
desperate game even now. Those who
get money ruthlessly and those who keeI
Il in mlserly fashion are still IN evidence
There should be praise Of good deeds not
only for the encouragement of the we'll
disposed but FOR the instruction of those
who never felt a generous impulse ol
recognized an obligation to their fellows.
The Foundations that crumble are thos'
whose superstructure sustains nothing bu
greed and injustice. The Foundations tina
last, no matter by whom aid are thos
that bear aloft the true beacons OF civil
cation and progress.
These are facts which neither sycop
hancy nor rancor can change.

BEARDs IN nIsFAvoR

that bearded men were wise. Sages patriarchs
wise men in the ages past, have been depicted
with long whiskers. but in this day most men
think that the whskers part of the adornnent of
