THREE FACTORS WORK AGAINST
 THE SALOON.

There are three great elements that have produced the dry movement. says The Delineator for January-the organized temperance forces. the doc tors. and the employers of labor. The temperance people have been the moral force, the doctors the scientific the employers the economic.
 The result is dry belt. which is a thing absolutely new in history. Per- haps some people can remember smil- ing half sadly at the spectacle of the little round faced boys of the Loyal Legion bravely marching at some w. c. T. U. entertainment under a big banner inscribed "Tremble, King Alcohol. We Shall Grow Up" Well. North Carolina gave sixty thousand majority against prohibition in 1881. In 1908 she gave forty-four thousand majority for it. The boys had grown up.
 The movement against intoxicants has changed it's name three times. First it was temperance" then pro hiDition." Now comes the new word, Anti-Saloon." It exactly represents the present phases oS the movement. It is no longer dealing with individ- uals, whether children or drunkards. It is voting to exterminate the sa- loon: and in this movement great numbers of moderate drinkers must have joined.
 It is not possible to believe that some of the majorities in the dry ter ritory were composed entirely of total abstainers This is curious and sig nificant fact. No moderate drinker joins a temperance society or the pro- hibition party. Only total abstainers enter those. But there must be thousands, perhaps millions. of mod crate drinkers in the Anti-Saloon movement They are not teetotalers. but they are anti-saloonsts.

Three Kinds of Insurgents.

The news from Washington of the intended disciplining of the 'fnsur- gents does not mean. as might be supposed. that the president has al- lied himself with Speaker Cannon and Senator Aldrich in the fight which the insurgents are making against those two leaders for the introduction of new methods in legislation
 There are insurgents and insur- gents. The original insurgents had no particular grievance except the grievance against the rules and prac- tices of the house. It happened that these insurgents constituted the ral- lying point in the fight against the Payne tariff bill, yet all who opposed that bill were not in sympathy with the grievance against the rules All. however. were rather loosely called insurgents
 It also happens that tine so-called insurgents whose discipline is now said to be determined upon were all concerned in the fight against the rules and against the tariff, though they were by no means all of the then insurgents
 According to the dispatches, there is no disposition to punish the men who fought the tariff bill, and the administration is not concerned in the attack upon the speaker and Mir Aldrich. The president is concerned, however in attempts to interfere with his policies for the purpose mainly of hampering his administration, in pur- suance of a conspiracy against his political life.
 The present ''insurrection," under the treatment proposed, will likely soon go to pieces. An honest mem Der of congress would not likely be diverted from his course by a fear of loss of patronage. But conspirators are not honest, and when those now interdicted in the departments find themselves unable to deliver jobs on which renomination and reelection depend they will almost certainly abandon the conspiracy.

Distinctions Among the Doomed.

A Kansas City judge yesterday, in fixing the date of execution of two negroes convicted of an outrageous assault upon a woman, said that he would not desecrate "Hangman's" day CFriday) with their execution. Worse than murderers, he would not accord them the opportunity of dying on day somewhat set apart for the exc cution of murderers. They would. therefore. die on a Saturday.
 If there is any one thing in which tinctiop. it would appear to be the matter of satisfying judgments against those doomed to die for their crimes. Yet there has been in some countries, though we believe there is none now anywhere, a recognition of rank even in the execution of the death sentence. In England, for in- stance. at one period nobles were be- headed, while the proletariat was hanged rom the Idli OI d cart
 Merimee, in his story of Carmen" explains in a footnote that at a cer- tain. period there had been a change in the law of Spain by which persons of the lower orders had been admitted to the privilege" of the garrote.
 It was, of course, esteemed ''privi- lege'' by the peasantry. though natu- rally none cared to avail himself of it. The law knocked down one distinc- tion and went that far toward ere ating a dead level in society. The proletariat is always a patriot, or thinks he is, which is the same thing. There is nothing else the patriot de- spises so much as classification. Of course. the lower orders in Spain did not expect, or want, to be garroted, but they wanted the garrote within reach.
 The average American citizen does not expect his son to become presi- dent, yet what merry howl he would set up at a law which barred his son from the presidency.

It is a bold prophecy, and its fulfillment would be big feather in the cap of our exchange.

TASTEFUL PRODUCTION
 HEAT.
OF

The use of fire, by one of those strange incongruities of cosmic growth, has retained more nearly it's elemental and primitive form than any other of the essentials to life, ex- istence and industrial activity upon which life upon our planet is de- pendent
 While measurement has been inte- grated to the fractional part of a wave length of light, and mathematics and physics have reached a develop ment of almost absolute determina- ton. yet the usage of fire. so neces- sary to human existence and most materially affecting the economic life of society, has remained in a state of primeval crudity, practically unchang- ed since its inception, and the wanton waste of the worlds most valuable resources and fundamental wealth continues in a manner entirely incom- mensurate with the economical de- velopment of our social and indus trial life. A realization of this, how ever, is being brought about, and a sudden and abrupt awakening has come.
 This is largely due to the work of the geological and mining surveys of many of the manufacturing nations. and to the fact suddenly brought home that their resources are limited, and that the waste of previous years has made inroads far beyond expec- tation. It is a fact that the day must inevitably come, and may be said to be almost in sight. when. at the pres ent rate of demand plus the expand ing demand-curve of an increasing population, the supply of combustible resources will be practically exhaust ed.-Nisbet Latta in Cassiers

LIFE.

Man comes into this world without his consent and leaves 1t against his will During his stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of contraries and misunderstanding by the balance of the species. In his infancy he is an angel;. in his boy hood he is devil; in his manhood he is everything from a lizard up; in his duties he is a - foni; if he raises a farnily he is a chump: if hc raIses a check he is q 'hIef, and then the law raises the d. with him; if he is a poor man he is a poor manager and has no sense: if he is a rich man he is dishonest but con- sidered smart; if he is in politics YOU cart place him, as he is an undesira- ble citizen; if he goes to church hc is a hypoc-ite: if he stays away from church he is a sinner; if he donates to foreign missions he does it for show: if he doesn't he is stingy and a tight wad. If he furnishes his home from Massie & Sons large stock. he is wise: if he doesn't he is extrava- gant. When he first comes into this world everybody wants to kiss him; before he goes out they all want to kick him; if he dies young there was a great future before him; if he lives to a ripe old age he is simply in the way and living to save funeral eX- penses. This life is a funny road, but we all like to travel it just the same. But to thoroughly enjoy it you simply must furnish your house throughout at

Payne-Aldrich tariff schedule book.
These are put into rs numbers" and
are classified according to the duty re-
quired at the port of entry. OF this
number 4S1 numbers" are on the du-
table list, representing about $500 ar
ticles of commerce upon which Uncle
Sam requires a duty; 237 numbers"
are on the free list and represent the
classification of articles which were
formerly taxed under the Dingley tariff
but are not now required to pay duty.
For the purpose of starting this work
of recording the various articles of ex-
port in a systematic manner, the tariff
board members have elected to take up
the question of investigation of arti-
cles in accordance with the way in
which they are grouped under the
Payne-Aldrich tariff schedule. Thus.
for instance, paints, oils and materials
of this character viii first be investi-
gated and the cost of their production
ascertained. In this way it is believed
the work viii progress in systematic
way.
Illustrations of the instances in which
tariff legislation has been openly criti-
cised was pointed out in the case of the
Wilson bill, which President Cleveland
refused to sign, the Mckinley bill and
