THE HIGH COST OF LIVING,

| After an exhaustive examination into the ques-
ton, the United States Senate committee on the
high cost of living has made its report enumerat-
ing some fifteen contributing causes to the result,
but we believe hitting the nail ON the head in it's
last-named cause, that of higher standard of liv-
ing" All the other contributing causes seem to
center on this one The enumeration of the fifteen
causes are as follows:
Increased cost of production of farm products
by reason of higher land values and higher wages ;
increased demand for farm products and food !;
shifting of population from food-producing to food
consuming occupations and localities; immigration
to foodconsumng localities; reduced fertility of
land resulting in lower average production or in
increased expenditures for fertilizaton increased
banking facilities in agricultural Localities which
enable farmers to hold their crops and market them
to the best advantage, which results in steadying
prices, but also tends to advance prices; reduced
supply convenient to transportation facilities of
such commodities timber; cold-storage plants
which result in preventing extreme fluctuations of
prices of certain commodities with the seasons but
by enabling the wholesalers to buy and sell at the
best possible advantage tend to advance prices; in
creased cost of distributions industrial combina-
tons; organizations of producers or of Dealers adj
vertisng; increased money supply; overcapitaliza-
ton higher standard of living
1t all indicates that we have got past the 'sin-
pie life" age, and have come upon an age of ex-
travagant wants. Every advance in civilization in
creases the wants of the people The luxuries of
yesterday become the necessities of today. No
matter where we live we require the products of
the soil from the far ends of the earth From the
regions beyond the equator, from the east and the
west, the products necessary to set daily table
come. We no longer depend upon one farm nor
even one country or zone for necessities. We
require everything we can eat.
Consider now the present day standard and the
record left by Henry David Thoreau in "Walden
or Life in the Woods" published in 1854, it being
record of two years and two months of life in the
woods on the shore of Walden pond in Concord,
Massachusetts, in 1S45-1S47 Thoreau borrowed an
ak and squatted on the land from which he gained
his livelihood His house cost him, besides the
value of his labor $2S12 H. duly set out in item
lied form. His expenses for food for eight months
also duly set out reached the total of 1914 and he
adds that; Il should not thus unblushingly publish
my guilt, if did not know that most of INV readers
were equally guilty with myself" In another place

MURDERERs AND DETECTIVES.

There are now in the penitentiary death cells
two youths, Thorn and Riley, awaiting execution
for the murder in our city of an inofensive man.
At Santaquin, the grave just closed an aged
man, Mosaih Gunderson, foully murdered by two
boys. The crime was altogether unprovoked and
seems to have been utterly motiveless. Were both
these murderous attacks made in pure wantonness,
or were they the acts of young men rrationally
prone to crimes of violence! Undoubtedly there
are at large in our city and state degenerates and
detectives who, on the slightest provocation or,
indeed, without any provocation, would murder
man without exactly knowing why they
did the awful deed. A temptation, a suggestion,
entering their unbalanced minds, weakened by
secret sins, by drink gambling and association with
fallen women, is enough to make them felons
There is neither reliable moral sense nor a
conception of the horror of the awful acts to re-
strain them from perpetrating the foulest crimes.
1t is not so much that they have strong passions
impelling them to violence that there is
sciousness of sin in the frightful deed they have
done or are about to do. There is in them nothing
absolutely nothing, of moral good to stay or meet
the promptings of their diseased minds.
Several other cases of murderous attacks, most
of them fatal have lately been dealt with soon
will be dealt with These are the crimes of per-
sons seemingly intelligent and morally responsible,
persons actuated by the desire for revenge, by
covetousness, or by other Indictment, their malev-
olenee being in some cases stimulated by liquor.
Murderers of this class have, we are assured, in
creased in numbers in recent years, one reason
doubtless being that the chances of escaping the
rope the bullet have in the same period been
greatly increased To overawe free wills, to re-
strain responsible individuals harboring murderous
designs against their fellow men, it will be we'll for
the public generally, and, above all, for the jurors
drawn from the ranks of the pubic, to be less
squeamish as to the infiction of the extreme pen
atty upon murderers. As for those abnormal hui
man beings who ready to commit murder
as they to steal beg, who murder just
for Lotoriety's sake who slay upon impulses
they neither control nor account for, nothing
remains but to round them up and keep them where
they can do no harm. The tendencies of defec- |
lives usually betrayed in early years, and when
great lack of sympathy for suffering of man or |
beast, propensity to cruelty manifested
These ought to be watched carefully, for they may
IN the slightest provocation become human rattle
snakes

AS the kind of education suited for boys and
for young men, is to teach them those things they
will need to practice when they become full-grown
men, so the proper schooling for girls is to teach
them what they will need to practice, daughters
and sisters when they return to the home of their
parents 1t is in this proper schooling for girls,
this principal" part, that Catholic Convent
Schools have earned their proud pre-eminence over
all pretentious Female Colleges" presided by
a man, and over all the high schools in the land.
Protestant preachers, so regularly the year
rolls round, sound the warning trumpet from their
pulpits and from the newspapers they control.
Wise fathers say, each in substance, many have
said to us within twenty-five years: 81 would

When, few years ago, young girl, attending
school at Brighton, England, was seduced by her
teacher, 1t was publicly SAID by Mr. chamberlain,
that the instructor who was guilty of the seduction
of young girl, committed to his care, ought to
get fifty lashes of the "cat-o'-nine tails" on his
bare back, and that the whipping should be admin
istered in public. "Then," continued Mr.. Chamber
lain, "the man ought to be sentenced to life i'm
prisonment or to DEATH" After the meeting was
over, a gentleman rallied Mr.. Chamberlain on his
threat.
"Were you not unreasonably severe in your de-
nunciation? [ have always been taught that the
punishment should fit the crime, Do you really
think that teacher who seduces a girl should be
publicly scourged and then hanged? Would you

1t is only when busy fathers, who have daugh-
tiers to be educated, and above all, safeguarded,
read from time to time, revolving items such as the
above, they awaken to the dangers which confront |
their offspring.
We have nothing to say of Van Liew's immor-
ality; his infdeities and disloyaltes will be at
tended to in time by his own people. But, God help
us, what about the hosts of tender young girls
who come under the direct and immediate infu-
ence of infdel male teachers, of unbeeving men, 4
and, sometimes of the Van Liews, ravenous for
female flesh and choice variety of it. Better a
thousand times that fair young girl grow up in
blank ignorance than be exposed to ruin in the
dawning of her young womanhood Better, even,
that she go to her grave clean and uncorrupted

SHOOTS AT OPPONENT.
Congressman Lores of Cuba Tries to
Kill Editor.


Havana. June ga sensational at
tempt to kill Antonio San Miguel, con-
gresham from Pinar de Rio and edi-
tor of La Lucia, was made in the lob
by of congress today. Congressman
Manuel Lores of Oriente was the as
sailant The single shot he fired went
wild, but almost hit another congress-
man standing near.
San Miguel was standing in the lob
by awaiting the opening of the session,
when he was approached by Lores,
who had several friends with him.
Lores whipped cut revolver and fired
at San Miguel at short range. The
bullet missed its mark, but grazed
the head of Congressman Antonio
Gonzales Lanuza, leader of the con-
sentative party, who was standing be-
hind San Miguel The latter drew a
pistol, but before further shots could
be exchanged the combatants were
separated.
1t is believed that a duel between
San Miguel and Lores is inevitable.
The cause OF the murderous attempt
was that the attitude of Congressman
San Miguel in denouncing editorially
as colossal fraud the proposition to
exchange the Villanueva station of the
United Railways on the Prado, for
the government arsenal lands, Of which
scheme Congressman Lores and his
colleagues are ardent supporters.
