LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,
Looking for Causes.

MT. Editor: It seems to me that about the hardest and most difficult mental labor a. person can undertake is trying to convince others of a thing that they themselves know is not a fact On the face, it really looks as though they were trying to believe it is so, when they actually know 1t is not have reference to writers for the newSpa- pers especially some of the editors. Their writings put me in mind of the boy going by burying ground in a dark night. He whistles to keep up his courage About everybody knows that in 1907 we had what is called a panic From that day to this there has hardly been a day but what some of the newspapers. more or less, have tried to convince their readers that the panic is all over, and everything Is boom in. At the very time of the panic there were some of them who said: There is no panic. it's only a furry"
 It was somewhat more of a furry than they tried to believe it was, and make others believe it was. Whether it be newspa per editors or anyone else. there is one thing they have got to reckon with before the furry Is through-that is. provided there was any furry at all. It isn't necessary to hunt up evidence to prove there was something out of gear.
 The one thing is-The Cause. There can be no effect without a cause. Just so long as the cause remains, the effect will still be present Reason and com- mon sense teach us to first search for the cause. and then to remove 1t, if it is removable. Looking ovef the news papers every day, you will find evil dence that we are experiencing the eff fects on every hand. which must be conclusive evidence that the cause is still doing business at the same old stand. Our so-called great men are beginning to see the handwriting on the wall. and some of them are be- ginning to talk out in meeting. They ar toll aF1 some reason or other they do not point out the cause.
 That was a hard rap over the lxnuclzles of the people. that Supreme Court Justice Howard of New York handed out in his declaration a few days ago, when he said: "The age of patriotism has yielded to the age of commercialism. Uppermost in the hu- man mind today is not the Stars and Stripes. but the dollar mark" That Is a pretty hard blow at republic, but it Is true. nevertheless.
 He uses the word graft which is only another name for legalized theft, if stealing can be 1egalized. This blame for this graft must be laid to some body. so the average man, and the newspa pers some of them lay it all to the politicians. This, I think. Is a misap ppIication of terms. Grafters would be more appropriate. Some people do not appear to understand the, meaning of politics and politicians. Politics is the science of government Politician is one versed in the science of government. Tn it's true sense, then every voter should be a politician, or

cnncerninn Prohibition

Signs are noticed of a shifting of public sentiment aboutsthe expediency of prohibition, and in some places of no-license. There was a tremendous campaign in Alabama to determine whether prohibition should be put into the state constitution. The prohibition ists expected to win, and most observ- CTS expected to see them win. The vote came on Nov. 29, and the amendment was beaten by 8 majority of about 20,- 600 votes in a total of 100000. One in- teresting detail of this case was that Alabama already had state prohibition and an apparent majority for it of about 25,00O. By way of following up their advantage the prohibitionists set out to get prohibition in the constitu- ton Gas they have done in Maine, and so make it the more secure. They were beaten signally. partly because antirliquor provisions do not belong in state constitutions, but largely because the state was not pleased with the re- suits of state prohibition as experience ed.
 In Is Massachusetts cities that voted wet or dry on December IA, the ajor- ity for no-license shrunk from S925 Qast years fsures) to 2.197. Worces-

The Self Supporting Woman.

There is an increasing respect for the self-supporting woman. as well as an increas sing field of endeayor for her. To certain extent we are getting away from the idea that a girl must marry as a vocation. At the same time we retain the wholesome doctrine that there is no greater success in life than the happiness that results from a marriage that is not contracted as a means of gaining a. livelihood. Spins frhood, which is in England enforced and intoleTable. Is losing many of it's terrors to young women in America, because self-supporting and inde- pendent spinsterhood is greatly prefera- ble to a marriage of convenience. how ever poorly it may compare with a more fortunate mating.
 There is certainly nothing in the French system that recommends itself to Americans. The idea of having to buy husbands no matter what form the

TIE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
WHERE THE ToRCHLIGHTs STONE

A vender amidst four ffaring torches adorning four corners of a rude plat form at the west side of the court house square, was not a novelty by any means, yet there was a goodly crowd gathered. 4 motley crowd. too, thought the old gentleman waiting for a Su- burban car, and walking back and forth to keep warm; A glance up at the ton car was Il minutes late He might not stop in any place to get warm, for fear of missing it He put the books he had stayed at the library so long searching for that he had not time to go to the station down in his pockets and sank his hands in the small re- maining space. It was cold night.
 To forget being chilled the old schol- ar turned his eyes upon the dwindling crowd near the opposite sidewalk. lie strong clear voice of the "fakir," who was propounding the values of collar buttons, or a tonic that cured every i'll. or a new device for perpetual mo- tion struck an esthetic appreciation That and a sociological instinct made him cross over close to the torches.
 It was Saturday night, and late buy CTS with buIging baskets trooped home ward from the nearby market house.

He grinned, and, seeing sympa thetics understanding, touched the studying man on the shoulder. tAin't he a dude, though? If 1se as good a locker as him I'd marry wid- tw woman with a million.

should not have the privilege of voting. The country is not in the hands of politicians today, if 1t ever has been It is in the hands of grafters and par tisans. If it ever was in the hands of politicians it has departed from patri- otism to commercialism, as Justice Howard says.
 Money. or the dollar mark, is what Howard says: All things could be possible if this frightful leak could be stopped-roads canals, libraries, asy- lums and hospitals-aH these could be saved" Our great men. with their great brains can and do tell the peo- pie about the conditions as they exist under this grating system, but they was first introduced into our system of government Justice Howard says is this "frightful leak' could be stop ped the people could have anything they want and need Justice Howard ought to know when this leak com menced. When and where was the opportunity given for men to become grafters2 This leak of which the jus tice speaks is nothing more or less than a special privilege given by con- gress to a few men to own and control the money, which congress alone has the power to create, and which the people are absolutely obliged to have, being compelled by congress to pay
  Money, then, is an indispensable factor in government, an indispensable factor of civiEzat tion.
 To stop this leak, this indispensable factor, money, has got to be owned and controlled by the government and not by private corporations Ex-Sec- retary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw informs us that if Senator Aldrich gets the central bank scheme adopted by congress 1t would be controlled if not owned by the Standard Oil company, and then MT. Aldrich's note issues would be based on and redeemable in kerosene oil. Say, wouldn't that be fine2
 Everybody would then have to go to John D. to get any kerosene or money, even the government itself Think of it! The government giving John D. the privilege of furnishing the people with money, and when the government gets short borrow it of John D. Fine!

THE CONSENSUS OF OPINION.

There appears to be no division in the republican party with reference 10 the action of President Taft in taking Chief Forester Pinchot by the scruH of the neck and setting him down outside of the land office. shorn of all authority. It is apparent enough to all that President Taft has shown great patience in this case, and has tried 10 have MT. Pinchot attend 10 his official duties instead of so ar dentiy supporting Mir. Glavis whom he believes to have been wronged. MT. Pinchot not only would not keep still but was unwilling to await an inves- tigztion of the affair and forestslled the inquiry by writing a personal let ter to Senator Deliver which was read in the senate Without considering any other Issue, the open violation of the presidents orders by the chief forest c- is ample cause for his dismissal, and some of Mr. Pinchot's friends con- ceds this What the quarrel all means is not so clear.

HOW THE DEMOCRATS CAN WIN

The democratic leaders have resort ed to all sorts of schemes to wrest the power of government from the fepub- lican party and failed; but now re- publican contemporary tells them openly how they can sweep the coun- ttsy in 1912 and take all the plums. It is not by a slogan for free trade--the party has tried that and lost. It is not on the free coinage of silver, to which the party held so tenaciously and became completely distracted. It is to be done by stopping their att tacks upon the tariff and so arrang- ing 1t that live hogs shall sell for s9o0 per hundred and that ham and bacon shall sell for 5 cents B pound-such a party will sweep the country. As we understand It." says rflis writer, the farme~ is satisfied with $S.SO a hundred for hogs, but that he is dis satisfied with the prices he pays for other things. We also understand that the wage worker is fairly well pleased with the wage scale. but that he would like to have everything else cut down. It will be difficult to meet these de- mands, but as we understand it there are those who are prepared to make promises to satisfy everybody The tariff fs a versatile thing and it will be unsatisfactory if it does not give a high price for, live hogs and low price for dressed meats
 This would require considerable skill on the part of the democratic leaders and might call for considera- bie free silver" but isn't it worth the serious consideration of the men whose theories for years have not been any sounder than this?

FIRES AND LOSSES IN CITIES.

The losses by fire in the cities of this country are not eQualled in any other country on earth, and the cause of 1t all Is believed to be traceable 70 a lack of care and almost total negA lect of effective inspection
 The fire loss in American cities mak- ing complete reports to the govern ment was S4s,676,730, the insurance paid s42.s55, FPS An idea of the total annual losses by fire can be obtained from the statistics of the underwriters who reported that they had paid out s11T.oss,S4z in the United States in 1901
 In 15s cities in the United States it cost &1-s5 per capita to equip and maintain fire departments in 1907. The per capita expense in six Euro pean cities in the same year was: Ber- lin 26 cents, London 19 cents, St. Pe- tersburg 22 cents, Paris 21 cents, Mi- Ian IT cents, and Stockholm g cents.
