one of the most important features
der which this city is now operating
l., a clause TO the effect that saloon
ment must not sell liquor to Indians,
miners, habitual ]drunkards or to in
toxicated persons. 1t is one Of the
best features Of the regulatory ordi-
nance because plainly if there is to
be regulation the first move should
be for the city to throw its protecting
arm around those who may be in
Guided in any of the classes named
above. The law should protect those
who canno protect themselves.
In furnishing local %saloonmen with
a list Of parties considered habitual
~drunkards the police department has
only done what is manifestly its duty.
The city council passed a splendid
ordinance nj the people were told
the ordinance would be enforced. It
Is UP to the administration to en-
force the regulations. Failure to do

blow?"
To'make the situation worse from a
Hitchcock standpoint ten senators had
decided to be present at the Myrick
investigation and they were there.
Among them were Senators Stone,
Lodge and Gore. These senators
asked some pointed questions:
What right has the postoffice de.
partment to go prying into a mans
affairs of this kind" said Senator
Lodge after Myrick had told of the
political stand taken by his paper and
of the results that followed.
Has this DEPARTMENT reestablish-
ed the ancient Inquisition," broke in
Senator Gore. Acting for the post
master-general Mr.. Britt has ere
served his decision"
What the department will ulti.
mately do regarding the Myrick ma
gazine remains to be seen. But there
may be interesting developments, no
matter how the case goes, and if the
torch of inquiry is lighted there may
be a sensation that will have a big
bearing upon the next presidential
election. Hitchcockism may prove
worse than Rallingerism.

is a story that does not set well with
free minded Americans who are wont
to think that tyranny ended in this
country when CORVALLIS gave up his
sword at Yorktown.
But the first case of departmental
high-handedness was reported but a
few weeks ago and here are the facts
as given by the San Francisco Ex-
aminer:
Mr.. Myrick publishes an agricul-
tural magazine. Last November Il
spoke harshly of the administration
and advised its readers to repudiate
it. Mr.. Myrick. through his weekly,
urged the farmers to help elect a
democratic congress.
Immediately thereafter Mr.. Hitch
cocks agents began poking about, in
person and by letters, among Mr..
Myrick's subscribers. Mr.. Hitchcock's
agent wound up their prying and
peering, their poking and sleuthins
by reporting that Mr.. Myrick's farm
weekly was not a magazine, but a
mere advertising vehicle. They rec
commended that it be refused place in
the mails as second-class mail matter.
II should be accepted-they said

first-class rates.
THE P~ostoffice Department, Mr..
Hitchcock in command, was about to
proceed in accordance with these
findings and recommendations, when
Mr.. Myrick demanded a hearing. The
hearing before Third Assistant Post
master-General Britt was held on
April 18th.
Mr.. Myrick was present and sworn.
He said hat his magazine was sew
enty-five years old. If the magazine
we're first class and not second class
matter, why had the %pOstoffice au-
thorities been 50 long blind and deaf
and dumb to hat important truth?
asked Nh. Myrick.
"On the question of his magazine
being not a magazine but a mere ad-
vertising medium, Mr.. Myrick has
this to say: His magazine devoted
but 40 per cen of its space to adver-
Using. Other magazines, tanner and
more tepid politically, with which Mr..
Hitchcock found no fault, gave up to
advertising as much as full 10 per
cent. why make fish Of him and
flesh Of the others? asked Mr.. My
rick.
The difference between first-class
and s~econd-class mail matter, Mr..
Myrick explained, would be in his
agricultural case a deadly difference.
That postal difference would figure
into a total of $4,000 a week. IT,
exact it was to kill his publication

head, to destroy Mr.. Myrick's prop

MILES OF DEsoLATIoN.

Fire waste in the United States and
Canada is about ten times that of west
ern Europe, writes Powell Evans IN
the Survey. It averages broadly $780,
OOO,O yearly with $15O,OOO,O0O added
expense for protective measures I'M
peratively demanded by this great,
continuous and increasing loss.
The 1910 fire waste would pay the
total interest bearing debt of the coun-
try in four years; or would build the
Panama canal in less than two years.
In other terms, 1t exceeds the com
bined cost of the United States army
and navy and the interest on the ma
tional debt; or nearly equals the COM
bined annual failures and pension pay
ments in the United States; or exceeds
the combined United States gold and
silver production and postoffice de-
partment receipts@these all annual
figures
If all buildings burned last year in
the United States were placed together
on both sides of a street they would
make an avenue of desolation reaching
from Chicago to New York. and al
though one seriously injured person
were rescued every thousand feet, at
every three quarters of a mile q. man,
woman, or child would nevertl eless
be found burned to death.
This fire loss averages three dollars
per capita in America each year, AS
against thirty cents in Europe. 1t is
absolute loss, and not ever transfer
ence of value. 1t positively does no
good to anyone. About two-thirds If
this waste in life and property in this
country could easily be avoided by
means similar to those employed in
western Europe, where the loss IS
about one-tenth of ours.

Mark Twain lived has long been an OBJ
ject of interest to visitors and a source
or pride to the town. However, Hannf-

gresS- And one of the first things that
this breath threatened to do was to
snuff out this particular building.
Fortunately the Commercial club OF

landmarks. So when it learned that
the house was about TO be torn down
to make room for fiat building it at
once secured a 60-day option on the
property and announced that the house
would be moved and preserved as a
memorial
The building is two story frame

dition. With a certain amount of re-
pairs it can readily be restored to the
condition in which it was when the

club of Hannibal, Nc, is worthy of imi-
tation. Cities and towns which neglect
to preserve the various objects of real
historic interest that they may happen
10 possess are QeHpCrately depriying
themselves of a. peculiar interest and
appeal to outsiders that no evidences
Of material civic progress can supply.
The stranger will remain cold at the
sight of the skyscrapers. The skyscrap-
ers are common, modern, and imper-
sonal. The sight of new bank build
ing, with large futed Ionic columns
in front, may even fail to stir his en-
thusiasm. Handsome bank buildings
are to be found in all parts.
But the announcement that such and
such a place is where some great man
lived and worked or died, or where
some extraordinary historic event took
place, is reasonably sure to kindle Il
certain warmth. All at once the town
acquires a new distinction. 1t is diff
ferent- 1t has shrine. relics, dignity,

And Of all such memorials none are
more fascinating for the public than

before they retired the judge laid down
the law as follows:
The husband is absolute lord and
master of the exchequer.
He is entitled to his meals at any
hour he wants them.
He may select such food as he
chooses. If he wants one food and his
wife another, the husbands decision
goes.
"A servant girl to whom the husband
objects must be discharged.
Finally, man who pays the oil s. and
not woman, is boss"
Be calm. ladies'! This all happened
in Massachusetts. It is not by any
means the law of Kansas, or it has not
been so laid down here. But, as a
matter of fact, this question as to who
is the boss in a household-one without
a servant of course, for there is then
no doubt about it-should not be a dis
turbing one. There is no need for one.
Nor is there O boss to be found in any
of the many really happy homes in the
land. In the proper and reasonable
conduct of every home, nothing but
team work between the husband and
wife has any place. There wouldn't be
nearly SO much work for the divorce
courts if there was less of a DISPOSE
ton on the part of men and women to
boss" their wives and husbands. A
boss is not needed in a home. And as
soon as either the husband or the wife
attempts to work out like one, then
there is more or less trouble.
