LLOYD w. BOWERS.

BY the death of Solicitor General
Lloyd W. Bowers the country loses the
services Of a man learned In the law
and a valued public servant Still I'm
the prime Of life. the solicitor gen
eral has been suddenly called from a
promising career 20 the world beyond.
Only recently it was stated that
President Taft had fully made Up his
mind to nominate Mr.. Bowers for one
OF the vacancies in the Supreme court
Of the United States, a position he
was eminently qualified 20 fill.
But man proposes and God disposes.
Had he lived Mr.. Bowers would have
fully justified the Presidents faith in
his rectitude and ability. AS it is, he
has passed on. leaving an honored
name behind.

CURE FOR LEPRosY.

II the Greek leper who made his es-
cape from Salt Lake the other night
bound for his home across the ocean
falls into the hands OF the United
states marine hospital surgeons. he
has n possible chance OF being cured
These surgeons have had marked
success with a leprosy anti-toxin which
they have used on the patients at the
AIolokai leper colony in the Hawaiian
islands. and they are convinced that
hereafter there viii be no difficulty In

dread disease.

CONSERVATION OF LIGHT.

Holophane refiectors have recently
been introduced in England and the
result is a remarkable increase IN the
efficient distribution OF light from
incandescent or other lamps. Photo
metric tests have shown that the eff
cheney IS increased from seven to ten
times by the reflectors and that the
distribution IS very much improved.
The refectors are IN the form of
globes surrounding the light. having
series OF prisms In the interior to
diffuse the light, and another series
OF horizontal prisms on the exterior TO
redirect the light The angles and
inclinations OF the external prisms
are carefully calculated in order to d.
rect the light to tho best advantage.
The gain IN effective illumination Is
described as surprising.
The half has never been told re-
garding the possibilities OF lighting
by electricity. although some wonder
full effects are constantly being shown
in this country as we'll as in Europe.
II the holophRne reflectors are all that
is claimed for them they will find
their way over here quick enough.
Perhaps we may be able to secure
more light for less money.

RELTEVE IN PROTEOTION.

While there are those in the United
States who would tear down the great
wool industry. the German govern
ment Is ondeavoring to build it up.
The country Of the kaiser Is largely
dependent on imports for its raw ma
terials. but extraordinary efforts will
be made to increase the supply Of
wool
Germany Is thickly settled and. Of
course. II is impossible TO range sheep
under the conditions that prevail in
the United States. Australia and South
America Forty years ago there were
25,0OO.00O sheep in Germany. against
1000. 900 at the present time.
These 100000 sheep produce about
1900 metric tons OF wool. the metric
ton being 2.2O4.s pounds. The differ
enco between production and con-
sumption amounts to $4,000 tons,
covered by imports estimated at S1O7.-
100000. Imports have increased
about 60 per cent. and even then the
demand is hardly covered. while there
is reason for apprehension that. in
case OF drought in Australia. supplies
might fail and cause a depression in
this branch.
Proposals have been discussed 70
establish sheep breeding on a large
scale In German colonies. in the same
manner as cotton plantations have al
ready been successfully introduced. To
promote this plan. a sheep-breedlng
syndicate has been formed, which is

RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD.

The Montana Democrats have nom
mated Charles s Hartman as their
candidate for Congress. Hartman
held a seat In the national House OF
Representatives as a Republican for
two or three terms, but lost out IN
1895.
For several years he posed as a sill
yer Republican. finally dropping of
on the Democratic side Of the fence
and at once starting In pursuit OF the
job he was separated from during the
first Bryan campaign. The empty
honor Of a Democratic nomination has
come Hartman's way at last.
Hartman is chiefly remembered in
washington on account OF the fam
boyant speech ne made in the House
impeaching Grover Cleveland. The
old-line Democrats in Montana also
remember that speech. and IL Hart
man IS elected IL viii be due to di-
rect dispensation OF Providence. or be-
cause several thousand Montana Re
publicans vote for him. No close OBJ
server would give much for Mr.. Hart
mans chances to come back"

UNANSWERABLE

The late Speaker Reed said many
good things during the debate on the
Gorman-wilson tariff bill sixteen
years ago. his Illustrations being al
ways 10 the point. In discussing the
subject Of wages in connection with
the protective tariff principle Mr..
Reed said:
Why did the work people Of Cali
fornia object to the Chinese
Because they knew that IL they
swarmed here in sufficient num-
bers the law OF wages would
make our own wages Impossible.
Had the Chinese had tho same
wants, and been therefore
wages. they could have wor-
SHIPPED their ancestors here with
out let or hindrance.
It was just because the higher civ
ilization could not contend on a
free field with the lower that
the higher civilization had to put
brains into the scale and pro-
tect itself. IL, then, We protect
ourselves against Chinese labor.
why should we not protect our
selves from a lower level Of la
Dor as represented b. imported
goods7
The question was never answered by
the Democrats. although the Republic
ans were free to say that We should
so protect ourselves. Since 1896 we
have placed an embargo on foreign
pauper-mado goods and the working
men have profited just as they prof
tied by the exclusion OF the Chinese.

COMMON SENSE THE REMEDY

Cardinal Gibbons, while condemning
the extravaganza OF the American
people IN the days OF their prosperity,
does not grow hysterical over the fact
that great aggregations Of capital are
employed I'm conducting the business
or the country. or that the laboring
men have formed organizations for
their own advancement. Summing up
at the end OF an interview. the car
dinal concludes:
Common sense treatment Of the So
called ills OF which people Of this
country are complaining will re-
suit. the people will find. in their
Importance being greatly reduced.
Tho country is growing fast and
with such rapid growth IL is inn
possible that all conditions
should be perfect. but what Ills
there are. what causes Of unrest
prevail. may all be minimized or
overcome by the exercise OF a
Christian spirit and the applica-
tion Of common sense.
