The reasons why the speaker
periodically and spssmodically advo-
Gates calling an extra session are not
far to seek. He desires to remain in
the political lime-light, hoping against
hope, that by doing so, he may become
prominent enough SO that the next
republican state convention might
consider him big enough for guber-
Material timber. So in his interview
he is really tickling the ego under the
guise of powerful, not to be sup
pressed brotherly feeling for suffering
humanity, which by the way does not
show any serious effects from lack
of this proposed benign legislation.

committee suggested that something

On important epoch ia tho history Of
this problem.
New York now has law which
promises we'll. The first offender
against the law against drunkenness
is not to be sent to jail to have his
pride crushed. He is to be released
with 9 sharp warning about where his
course is tending, and the pertinent
suggestion that his case is going to be
watched. The second offender is to be
placed on probation, in charge of pro-
baton officers. If these fail. and q
third offense occurs, the guilty wretch
is to be promptly dealt with. Not by
sending him to jail, though, but by
sending him to a hospital and then to
an industrial colony-like our pro-
posed flag farm" Instead of jailers
and thieves for his companions he
will have sick people like himself and
doctors and overseers.
And that, there seems little question,
is the right way at last.

advocates the calling of an extra
session of the Legislature, giving as
his main reason the necessity OF IN.
creasing the gross earnings railroad
tax and passing other reform
measures, measures which would con-
duce to the happiness OF the people,
It is certainly amusing, to say the
least, when politicians 20 on record

masses at heart, in urging so'called
reform legislation. They would have
you believe that they are altogether
too modest and unseldsh to ever think
of themselves. That has been the
burden OF their song always, but
fortunately the people are waking up
to the true state of affairs and know
that the average politician is merce-
nary and therefore cannot and does
not inspire confidence.
In the present instance the last
Legislature had ample opportunity to
pass all the legislation that is now
being advocated and then some. But
instead OF serving the interests OF the
people which their oath Of Office should
have prompted them to do, they spent
most of their time dilly-dallylng and
in incriminations. Their violation OF
their trust was SO hagrant, that
members of that august body are
trying awful hard to forget that they
belonged to this aggregation and be-
seech their friends not to remind them
of that fact. And these incompetents
Dunn desires to reconvene in extra
session, and he is hopeful that they
would do better this time. We do not
say that they would not. But If so,
they would be impelled not by desire
to be OF service to the people, but by

Watch the Professor Carefully

The tobacco trust, commanded by
the court to dissolve, comes into court
with its plan of dissolution. It pro.
poses to divide itself into fourteen
''separate and independsnt" corpo-
rations. This is dissolution, right
enough; but will the acid test of prac-
tice discover in it any good for the
consumers?
The stock in these fourteen
Separate and Independent" corpo-
rations is to be owned, apparently, by
the very people who now own the
stock of the tobacco trust. There is q
decided change Of form, but no change
of ownership.
Where is the gain to come from?
Will these fourteen separate and
Independent" corporations, owned by
the same people who now control the
trust, Immediately begin a fierce COM
petition, slashing tobacco prices right
and left? Will the process reduce
tobacco prices, say, back to where
they were before the tobacco trust
continued the war tax on tobacco after
the government had repealed it, keep
ing the money for its own uses.
The independent tobacco men de-
mand that the owners of the stock in
these fourteen ''separate and indepen-
dent" companies be compelled to sell
it, so that they may be made really
and Independent. But can
that be done? Is there court in the
land, which, except in a case involv-
ing the right of eminent domain, will
compel man to sell property which
he owns and wishes to keep?
If the present attack on the trust
problem is heading in the right direc-
ton, results to prove it are very slow
in coming. ...

There will DO more idle men this
winter than ever before, ssys James
J. Hill, president Of the Great
Northern railroad, G
"Our capacity for production along
industrial lines has grown faster than
our consumption along the same lines.
"Some years ago the farmer had to

Their man in the cities. Now he must
raise enough for himself and two other
men. Business is sound, but no new
enterprises are being started. The
politicians and newspapers are to
blame. There is too much political
ghost dancing. The people are not
given the facts. There is uncertainty
as to the future on this account, rather
than on account Of Supreme Court
decisions
The system works out so that the
more the workers produce, the less they
have. The farmer must not support
two workers. That means he can buy
only half the clothes and other things
that he used to buy. That means less
orders for the factory and more men
out of work. That means fewer orders
for the farmers products. and so on
around the circle. That is the way
panics come unless diversion is
started by creating new or wasteful
industries. Some of the workin gmen
may be put to work making things to
satisfy the extravsgsnt tastes of the
rich. Some of them may be put to
work building new factories, which
will eventus ally increase the over pro.
duction still more. That is borrowing
from the future. If there is "confi-
dence" business men will borrow in
this way from the future, but if there
is "pol,ticsl ghost dancing" they are
afraid to do it.
When no man has to produce enough
to support two men, and thereby de.
prive some other worker of an oppor.
tunity to exchange the product of his
toll with one of them, then the danger
of panics and overproduction will be
gone.

The Drunkard.

The drunkard is a good deal of a
problem. He costs lot of money in
various ways. His family is likely to
be starving or existing on public
charity. When he gets drunk he is
likely to break or burn something:
and once in while, when his liquor
has given him unusual results for his
money, he whites the time away by
numbering his family or some out.
slider. When he is just plain drunk
be is likely to fight or be fought; and
sometimes he steals or is stolen from
If he has anything left to steal. All
these things mean expense to the
public. There is the cost of caring
for the poor whom drink has made
poor; and there is the cost of trying
and Furnishing the drunkard for being
drunk or for committing crime, or
somebody else for committing crime
against him.
Mostly, society isn't doing much
toward the solution of this problem.
In places it is trying prohibition, but
that hasn't worked yet. In other
places it is trying regulation, but that
hasn't yet worked as it should, in part
because it isn't aimed truly, and in
part because those who should be
helping to make it work are too busy
working for prohibition to do their
part.
The customary thing is to arrest the
drunkard when he gets to be q
nuisance, and to send him up for
thirty days. That costs US money
and doesn't help the drunkard at all.
In fact it makes him worse, because
pride, the drunkard's last hope,
seldom survives q term in Jail. That
method of handling the drunksrd has
gone about as far as it should. It
isn't possible to make it any more
evident than it is that it Is . mist AXE,
and that it is heading exactly opposite
to the right way.
Now the drunkard is q sick man.
Drunkenness is disease; and it is the
only disease people are sent to Jail
for. True, it is probably a self-im-
posed disease, unless it is inherited.
But so are many other diseases self
imposed because due to bad personal
habits. Bright's disease and hardened
arteries and heart disease and other
ailments are usually due to bad per.
sonal habits, too; out we don't pu,
people in jail for getting these
diseases. Yet it would do as much
good as it does to put drunkard in
Jail.
Other methods are needed, and
society is getting around to them q,
last. Minnesota has a Estate lac
farm" which expects to put drunkards
at work, feed them we'll, build them ur
and turn them out men. St. Louis
county is considering the establish.
ment of flag farm" which will dc
the same thing. And this is mere like
it. If there is any hope for drankard
it isn't to be found in the jail. 1t is
much more likely to be found in fresh
air, nourishing food and hard work.
A committee appointed in New York
to look into this matter reported
recently that that city is spending
Sl25,000 a year taking care OF
drunkards, and isn't doing them OF
society bit of good. Gas a result

Pittsburg, Nov. 21.-Consider-
able progress was made today in
the trail of George Golden, veal
thy Wickboro, Pa. shoe merchant,
charged with the murder, of his
wife on the night of July Is last.
Golden claims to have shot his
wife in mistake for a burglar.
w. A. Semmers, a brother of
the dead woman. testified he had
visited his sister at 7:30 O'Clock
On the night of the tragedy. Col
den was not present, he said, but
his sister had been crying.
He next saw her at midnight
after she had been shot. She
was lying on the bed and the
other pillow he said did not look
as if any one had been lying on it.
Besides the bullet hole in her
forehead, the brother says his
sister had a scratch on each side
of her nose and her right eye
was turning blue. Three of her
teeth were missing, Semmers
testified.
DR.. S. A. S. Jessop, who preform
ed the autopsy, said that during
the autopsy he had taken the
bullet and a plate of false teeth
from the head of Mrs. Golden
and later placed them in a safe
at his Office. Three teeth were
missing. The plate of teeth and

president OF the National Horticultur-

net of his fifty-three acre orchard for

crop on the trees. Two dollars and
foTty-tive cents was paid for Jonathan
and Grimes Golden, $1.90 for Genitan
and S1.90 for Ben Davis and varieties
of equal grade. On the above basis
the orchard tract gave a revenue of
