STATESMAN AND DEMAGoauE.

According to the dictionary used
by the beneficiaries of privilege. he
only is a stateman whose ear is
tuned to catch the slightest pulsa-
lions of Il pocket book, while he is a
demagogue who dares to listen to
the heartbeat of humanity.-The
Commoner, January :, 1910.
It's tho sam, old story, tn" same
old cry, and the same old tactics,
too; while blood is cheap, and mann
mon high, humanity's annals
through. The tribune who stood
for the Roman mass, they likened
him to braying ass, did the hire
ling tools Of the "highcr class
the tools of the preying few.
And there came time when a
Lowly Man, from n village In Gall.
lee, was bounded and mObhed by
the running clan Of the scribe and
the Pharisee. But the good old
Book proclaims the word that the
while the rulers wrath was stirred
by the common folk He was gladly
heard-fur He spake for you and
me.
Then on with the fight for the
common veal, though the foe be
great and strong; defeat meath tn
oppressOrs' heel--tOmorrow, our
triumph song. Nor fear to be called
a drmagogue by those who wOulc

Squandering Resources.

According to Il recent statement
of Delaney Carter, Nj. d., OF New
York, there are to-day one million
drunken sOts IN the United States,
and one-third of that number go to
drunkards' graves every year. The
law of Missouri has placed a value
Of ten thousand dollars on human
life by providing that the wife and
family of one who is killed ny the
negligence of others may recover
that sum in damages. If, as DR.
Carter states, liquor terminates, cv'
cry year, 333;333 lives of the value
of ten Thousand dollars each, then
the public Is damaged on this nc
count In the sum of 1888 1888 ,333.G
annually. Add to this s., 100 JOG, 00t
which is paid out directly In liquor
bills every year, and we find the to-
tai economic loss to the nation be
cause of Intoxicating drink amounts
anrually to nearly five and Il hall
billions of dollars. This liz more
than four times as much as the en-
tire revenue of the federal govern
ment. What do those who beai
these stupendous burdens get In re-
turn? Nothing but poverty and ply
steal, mental and moral degradation
The number of men in the United
States probably does not exceed six
teen or seventeen millions, and ac'
cording to DR.. Carter's statement,
about six per cent of these are inc
briates and are therefore liability
rather than mn asset in the indus
trial life of the Republic. No doubt,

What Mr.. Bryan Says

y =
st. Louis, May Politicians of
this section have been fairly stunned
by the announcement which Will
liam Jennings Bryan made here to
the effect that he would positively
not be Il candidate for President in

their amaZencnt at his attack on
the liquor interests. The politicians
were not much chagrincd that MIR.
BRYAN should have endorsed local

selves "for policy's sake, hut what
is b0thcriug them is that the peer

the farmer "sces his boys ruined by

"Thc saloon" said Mr., Bryan,

TAFT DRUNK WITH POWER.

few days. hOpclessly involve the
President personally in an effort to

facts. The Nchraskan maintains
that the evidence dragging the Pres

by MIR. Taft, but by one of Secrc-

is about the same as to say by Mr.
Ballinger himself
"Such history of suppression,

Fingers that smell of garlic, soap

ham, and a flourish that reminds one
Of an executioner rather than of a
barber-such are the qualifications of
the itinerant Spanish hairdresser, de-
clares writer in the Wide World.
The victim-we use the term advised
ly-must be a patient, suffering
man, neither the slave of time nor of
any petty feelings such as delicacy
and sensitiveness, as otherwise he will
fare badly at the hailds of his torturer.
For the Spanish open-air barber is a
calm man, who takes everything for
granted, and never for moment
doubts that you are satisfied with his
attentions and will pay him accord
