of these persons have also settled in
their minds that II any OF the planets
is heaven, then that one is Jupiter
the giant of the planetary system
with which we are best acquainted.
OF course, it is all a matter Of
theorizing and speculation, but SO
are all things which are beyond the
jurisdiction Of sight, hearing touch,
taste and smell. The thought Of
heaven. the abode of the blessed, IS
based upon faith and hope, and
there is much reason for believing
that heaven is located on Jupiter as
anywhere else. The vastness of the
planet is an answer to all objections
as to size, and there argument must

of its fitness as the Paradise that Is

WatcI, and Wait.

The Republican party of West
Virginia after fifteen years of unin-
terrupted control of affairs. can well
afford to rest and watch the per
formance OF its ancient enemy, now
in control of the legislative branch
OF the state government, says the
Raleigh Herald.
The Republican party has made
tn" general tax rate in the state the
lowest of any period within the
states history, and as low as any
state in the union. 1t has made
taxes more nearly equal and uniform
throughout the commonwealth, 1t
has sought out for taxation values
heretofore entirely free from their
burden, and it has compelled an
honest and strict accounting from
all responsible officers OF the gov
ernment.
In all these efforts and accom-
plishments the party has been CON
tinuously and viciously denounced
by the opposite party. The Demo
cratic press has denounced the tax
laws, the methods OF enforcing them
the schemes for the faithful ac.
counting of public officials. and has
been SO religiously persistent in Its
denunciation that many have come
to believe that the party which has
acen out of power so long has per
haps some better or more satisfac,
tory plan for the government of this
state and its affairs.
We shall now see what we shall
see; and it will be interesting in
deed to watch Just what particula
portion of the present fiscal system
win be assailed first.

Tainted Foods.

In tie endeayor to ENFORCE the pro
visions of the National Pure Foot
Law, the inspectors sent by DR.
Wiley, head OF the pure food and
drugs bureau of the Agriculture De.
partment, have unearthed in New
York use for bad eggs, riots ant
spots which the consumers Of
baker shop dainties had never here.
tofore expected. Investigation Of
New York bakeries showed that ir
over fifty concerns rotten eggs were
used in the making OF all kinds OF
cakes. AS the Baltimore American
says, so general was this use that
there was a regular market demand
in New York for riots" great guam
titles being forwarded from Phila-
delphia where the state food law
prevents the use of rotten eggs for
any purpose. A general claiming up
in New York is now in process, the
inspectors from the national health
bureau working in conjunction with
the representatives of the New York
Health Board. AS consequence
the supply of riots and spots
greatly exceeds the demand, and in
consequence the price has fallen
from one dollar and a half and two
dollars per case to TWENTY-FIVE cents
per case.
II is question whether or not
eggs and meats advanced toward
odorous stage OF decomposition are
deleterious to health. It certainly
has not always been generally
thought so. 1t is not necessary to
journey all the way TO China to find
gourmets with tastes for partially
decayed foods. Most any OF the
black Dinahs who preside over
gouthern kitchens will tell inquirers
that game ought to he rather

Indeeent Post oards.

The Charleston Mail takes the fol
flowing vigorous whack at some
not all-zof the picture post cards:
Certain picture post cards now OIL
open sale in Washington, will be
placed under the ban of censorship
So reads news item. Certain pic.
ture cards go through the mails Of
Uncle Sam. by the thousands every
day, that are indecent, debauchiag
and corrupting; an offense to the
eye and to taste, not alone to NOR
atty. Just why this has been al
lowed to be, is hard to determine,
except that what has appeared to be
everybody's business is nobodys
business. But so long as makers are
permitted to indulge in the mantl-
facture of ODscenity, SO long will
the evil continue. 1t appears that
his old activity, Satan. is quick to
grab every new thing that comes
along and to get the first grip on It.
OF course. many of the cards are
merely vulgar rather than really OBJ
scene, but this can not be said of all
OF them, some of which are positive
| y shocking. If Uncle Sam has law
that applies to mailing obscene let
ters, which are enclosed and are not
readily on display, how much more
readily should such a law apply to
the really obscene and disgusting
public pictorial creations that are
allowed the free and unlimited use
of the mails under the guise OF pos
tai cards. 1t is hard to detect an OBJ
scene letter, but this difficulty does
not lie in the matter OF the postal
card.
Evidently here is a place where
Postmaster General Hitchcock may
also get busy and without doing any
particular harm to any one, but
really much good to the public at
large. There is nothing outside OF
a morbid temperament and Wit
lated taste that would suggest much
of the offense in this direction OF
which the makers of postal cards are
! guilty, and some of these have
seized upon an innocent and popular
device to bring 1t down to the level
OF their own grade OF thought, or
for mere money making purposes
without regard to the means of aeon
mulating the dollar 1t appears to
lbe about time some attention was
paid to an evil which is likely to
grow worse as the days of leniency
and let-alone run on.

Moving pictures and Tuberculosls.

Further progress in the fgat
against tuberculosis is noted in the
announcement that some 1000 the,
aters over the country will exhibit
films showing the methods employed
in fighting the disease and precau,
lions that should be observed by
persons who may be in danger Of
contracting it. In this connection
pictures of the sunless tenements in
New York will likely be shown, it Ii
said. 1t is estimated that there are
$4,000 rooms In his great metropolis
that possess no access either to fresh
air or sunlight.
While no such conditions favorIng
the spread of consumption as these
may be said to exist in the country at
large, yet many persons mistakenly
attempt to produce them by trying
to keep cold air out OF their bed
rooms and shutting up their houses
to fresh air at night.
Chemists and physicists tell US
that an atmosphere rich in ozone is
healthiest, and that cold weather
seems to favor the formation OF ozone
in the air. If this is true, the at
tempt to avoid breathing cold al,
is a mistake. when as a matter Of
fact cold air should be much
healthier than warm air. The pic
lures to be shown will likely portray
these advantages and, it Is to b
hoped, the evils of the practice o
splitting in public places. which still
hourishes, despite legislation agains

The Railroad Problem.

Darius Miller, president of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail-
road. speaks from his point OF view
on Government Regulation OF
Railroads." in The World To-Day
for December.
Government regulation is here to
stay, and, intelligently administered.
1T is no bugbear to railroad owners
or managers. On the contrary, it
can and should be protection and
safeguard. 1t is plain, however,
to every one that the result today of
the activity of the federal and state
tribunals has greatly altered the
position Of railroad securities in the
public eye. They no longer offer
opportunities for speculative profits
the only speculative element remain

sensitive fear that capital always
exhibits in the face of hostile or ad-
verse conditions. The investor,

The Bluefeld Telegraph takes the
clarksburg Exponent dowa a peg OF
two in the following editorial:
The clarksburg Exponent is crying
because under Republican rule there
was defense made to the case
against West Virginia growing out
of the old Virginia debt suit. 1t says
the suit was absurd, and declares
that the Virginia Democratic poll
ticians and the West Virginia Re-
publican politicians are in league
and will get rake-ot somewhere.
The Exponent also suggests that the
Democratic legislature should do
something, these two words being
printed in capitals.
1t was the duty of the state ad.
ministration to defend that suit.
The more absurd the suit was the
more particular we should have been
in Its defense. To have failed to
have furnished the best legal talen;
would have been rank injustice to
every tax payer. AS to the deal be
tween the Virginia and West Viz
ginia politicians, If the Exponent is
correct in Its charge that is another
reason for a vigorous defense of the
suit. Would the Exponent lag
down" and let them win out in
this utterly groundless claim"
We share with the Exponent the
hope that the Democratic leg
islature will do something

Will Not Be Given Out By
the Federal Bureau for
Some Time.


WASHINGTON, D. G.. Nov. 2s-
1t will be some time before the pop.
uiation Of the West Virginia cities
will be known. except Wheeling and
Huntington, which have already
been announced. From nov ON the
practice of giving out the population
OF cities will be discontinued till af-
ter the population of the entire
United States by state and counties
is ascertalned.
The Congress is required by the
Constitution to apportion the repre-
sentation in Congress among the
various states after such census and
In order that the apportlonment may
be made promptly the census bureau
is exerting its full energy to COM
plete the enumeration OF the popula-
ton the United States in time for
the present Congress to make the
'decennlal apportionment. 1t is ex-
pected that the enumeration will be
completed soon after the reconven-
ing of Congress ON next Monday.
in the meantime, cities whose pop
ulations have not been announced
are supposed to have less than 25,-
600 population. as the recent publi-
cation of list of cities of $4,000
population or more. is supposed TO
be, complete list Of such cities in
the country. 1t Is possible that the
final figures may place some addi-
tional cities in the $4,000 class. but
it is pretty certain that the census
bureau had sufficiently accurate ig-
ures in preparing its list of cities of
$4,000 or more to know whether
any others should be included in the
list or not
Following the announcement of the
total population of the country, few
announcements will be made before
the first of next year. Future bull-
etins on population are expected to
carry with them data classifying
the population of the minor civil di-
visions of the country, including
cities, wards, maglstertal districts
etc. and giving data as to their sex,
color, race, marital state, age, etc.
It will take some time to tabulate
these returns and it is not probable
that they will be issued before some
time next year.
In the meantime, Charleston, Par
kersburg, clarksburg, Fairmont,
and the other ambitious
cities of West Virginia will have to
await in patience the announcement
of their population, which may not
come for months.
