Relic Of Cruel Rome.

One of the most impressive of all
the old ruins In Rome is the great
Coliseum. It was in this open air
amphiteater that the cruel spectacles
were witnessed--gladiators fought in
mortal combat, Christians were made
to fight starving lions and tigers.
Death was inevitable. The Coliseum
had a seating capacity of $1,000 per-

Everybody understands the danger

But very few people know that you
are specially liable to catch cold
when you are tired. Additional pro-

needed by the body when tired. for in
such state colds may be taken as
easily as when sweating or through

ShibboIefh

Shibboleth, now taken as meaning
the watchword or slogan OF particu-

the incident recorded In Judges S:l.16,
wherein the word shibboleth was used
n a test by the Giieadltes to detect
their foes, the Ephraimites. The
Ephraimites were unable to pro-
nounce the combination sh, an&when
put to the test called the word "sib-
boleth." thus betraying their breed
and giving away their case.

F1STIC BATTLES.

Jim Flynn failed to make good as
the white mans hope, and big Jack
Johnson is still the champion heavy
weight pugilist of the world. Flynn
was no match at all for the negro,
and during the battle which took
place at Las Vegas, New Mexico,
Thursday, was unable to land more
than a dozen blows on Johnson,
none of which were serious. Flynn
repeatedly undertook to butt the
champion, and for this reason a
police captain jumped into the ring
in the ninth round, and stopped the
fight, Referee Smith giving the de-
cision to Johnson. Flynn was fear
fully punished by the black man,
who had no difficulty in landing
blows whenever he wished.
Another pugilistie event of interest
to the sporting fraternity, was the
fight at Vernon, California, Thurs
day. between Joe Rivers and VOL
CAST. Rivers was counted out in the
18th round, going down as the re-
suit of a blow in the groin. Rivers
and his friends claim the decision
was a steal, and that the blow which
resulted in his taking the count, was
a foul, and that he had gotten on
his feet before the referee had count
ed ten.

AGRICULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES
Information on Resources, Products,
and Physical characteristics of
Various States.

A Government publication that
should prove of interest to all resid-
ents of the United States and par
ticularly to those who are consider
ing the question of leaving congested
industrial centers for the purpose of
engaging in agriculture pursuits is a
bulletin entitled Agricultural OPP
portunities'' which Is being issued for
free distribution by the Division of
Information of the Bureau of I'M
migration and Naturalization, De-
partment of Commerce and Labor.
The bulletin is in several separate
sections as follows: The North Allan
tic States; the South Atlantic States;
the North Central States eastern
Group; the North Central States
(Western Group. including the Ter
ritory of Alaska; the Western States
(Southern Group. including the
Territory of Hawaii.
Each State Is discussed briefly In
der the following headings: Climate,
surface, and soil; irrigation and dry
farming (where they are practiced to
any EXTENT; principal crops; stock
raising; prices of farms and induce
ments to settlers; farm expenses;
general and special inducements.
At the end of each article Is given
the address of the State official who
can furnish additional information
with respect to his particular state.
The bulletin itself is based on infor-
nation furnished to the Division OF
Information by officials of the States
described, supplemented by data
secured from publications of the
United States Bureau of the Census
and the United States Reclama-
ton Service, and from other official
sources.

GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS.

In their weekly letter concerning
market, copper and stock conditions,
Wiggin & Elwell of Boston comment
as follows:
The principal feature of the
ket is the persistent strength that
seems to be in evidence most of the
time. Whenever the market recedes
d%ullness seems to increase, showing
a desire on the part of the market to
advance. We believe stocks should
be bought on recessions. Copper
stocks have shown increased activity
and strength, and new high prices
have been made for this movement
by several copper stocks this week.
We are informed that a quarterly
statement of the Mason Valley COM
pany's operations will be issued
shortly. and this custom will be es-
tablished which, in our opinion, will
materially help the stock. We have
persistently recommended purchases
of this security and believe it is, at
the present moment, one of the safest
and most profitable purchases in the
Boston market.
The copper of this
country are beginning to have much
more respect for the producers; in
fact, many compliments have been
paid on the handling of the recent
critical situation in connection with
the strikes at the refineries. 1t is
generally considered that copper
/ could have been advanced two or
three cents a pound very easily. but
strenuous efforts were made to sup
ply at going prices. The
statistical position of the metal has
been attacked from every point, but

PURE FOOD LAW.

A number of dealers in food pro-
ducts recently cited to hearing by the
pure food officials of the state for the
violation of the pure food law have
replied pleading ignorance of the
law.
1t would be to the advantage of
those dealers who desire to keep
within the law and a saving of time
and trouble to the officials If such
dealers would take time to get ac-
quainted with the provisions of the
pure food law of the state and the
rulings that have been made under it.
The authorities charged with the
enforcement of this law are required
under the law to report the facts to
the district attorney OF the county
where the law is violated, when
ever there is satisfactory evidence of
the violation of any of its provisions.
No discretionary power is granted.
While there is ne desire to force
prosecutions. those upon whom the
responsibility for the enforcement of
the law rests are not given authority
withhold evidence in any ease
where the law has been violated. 1t
is believed that copies of the Pure
Food and Drug Act and the circulars
giving rulings under the same have
been sent to every food and drug
dealer in the state. Those who may
have failed to receive such and others
who have failed TO preserve these
documents without getting acquaint-
ed with their contents are urged to
write to the Agricultural Expert
ment Station. Reno. for additional
copies.

PRICE OF COPPER STEADY.

All the large copper selling agen-
cies are firmly established on a 17'%
cent price for copper. notwithstand-
ing the unexpected decline in the
London standard market last week, a
decline, the equivalent of IL cents
per pound. This decline may have
brought about a few sales of second
hand copper at a fractional decline,
but the big companies are all holding
firm. This decline in London may
prove a blessing in disguise in so far
as to prevent a runaway market, for
It is recognized that any material adj
vance in the price of copper above II
"a cents might tend to cut down
consumption and this is a condition
necessary to be avoided.
The leading companies are now
sold three months ahead an unusual
condition as the companies rarely
sell more than two months ahead,
but this is a condition brought about
by the desire of a number of produe-
ers to prevent a runaway market in
the metal, which would undoubtedly
have taken place had they failed to
sell beyound August delivery

PREFERENCE PRIMARIES.

Not the most earnest advocate of
the preferential primary system
would probably are to avow that in
recent experience it has proven itself
a success We have had in effect a
prolonged and heated presidential
campaign as a preliminary to the
equally prolonged and still more
heated one to be opened in July, says
the Philadelphia Record.
But a more serious objection is
that against the existing method of
stringing the elections in the various
states over a period of two or three
months. In the event of a close
rivalry among candidates for prefer
ence the value of the last delegations
to be elected would be enormously
increased and the temptation to
secure the same by improper methods
would grow in geometrieal proper
lions as the contest progressed. This
is a very serious charge-much more
so than the incontroyertible asser-
ton that 1t is an evil and a nuisance
to keep the nation in a turmoil for
ten or twelve weeks while the cleo
tors in the various states successive
ly cast their ballots. Nor is a rem
edy easily found. To have all the
primaries occur on the same day
would require a consensus of the
laws of As states, and this would be
an almost impossible achievement.
The objection that less than half
and. in some cases, less than one-
tenth of the voters take the pains to
express their preference is less for
midable than it seems on first view.
Taking Wisconsin and North Dakota
for example, in both of which states
nearly a full vote was polled, We may
assume that when the electors be-
come h~abituated to the system they
will avail themselves of its privileges
everywhere. The preference pri-
mary came into practical operation
in Wisconsin several years ago, while
in most of the states 1t is a complete
novelty. Anyhow 1t is a closer APP
proach to popular control of parties
to have the nominations made by
fifty per cent of the voters than by a
~corporal's guard of self-appointed
leaders. That the masses are more
easily swayed by vociferous dema-
gogues than caucuses and conven-
tons is an assertion about when
1t is permissible to disagree. eau
cuses and conventions have been
stampeded by shouting patriots, and
corrupt influences can be more easily
exerted in secret and in relatively
small body than in the open and with
the whole mass of electors for their
objective. The primary laws of
many states require amendment;
nevertheless, the underlying theory
is sound.

MORE OF CHRIST.
OF CHURCH
DIR. AKED IN SAN FRANCISCO
ADDRESS, VOICES REMARK
ABLE VIEWS ON MODERN con-
DITIONS.

DR.. C. f. Aked, a Congregational
list minister, speaker and educator of
national prominence in an address at
San Francisco, Sunday night, took
occasion to touch upon the constitu-
ton of the United States, which he
referred to as the greatest drawback
of the present day, to efficient legis-
%lation.
THE dead hand of the past is
on our lawmakers" he said. They
cannot pass a law without consult
ing the dictations of men who are
dead and gone 100 years since"
He cited the decree of the supreme
court that workmen's compensation
and employers liability acts, passed
by certain legislatures we're uncon-
stitutional, because the trainers of
the constitution said that NO n
shall be deprived of property with
out due process of law"
He declared that the accidents in
the Industrial activities of the United
States today are killing a Gettys-
burg" in number of lives every
month, and that it cannot be prevent
ed because the trainers of the con-
stitutlon, 120 years before any n
could by the widest Imagination
foresee the increase of risk In the de-
velopment of modern times, had pro-
scribed a law In keeping with con-
ditions at that time, and that the
people OF today cannot go back of,
regardless of changes in those con-
ditions.
The proposed recall of the judiei-
airy DR.. Aked cited as another in
stance where the will of the people is
being baked by the dead hand"
But Americans are not going to
be held back much longer" he said.
1.-The countries of today are moving
toward liberty and popular rule.
The United States will take action
like the British did on the veto power
of the lords"
He declared there is no other
country in the world that cannot
pass what laws il chooses, or at least
legislate toward desired lows, with
absolute freedom from anything like
the constitution of the United States.
"The United States occupies a uni
que position" he said. lin that it
frames an iron-bound constitution
for the government of all the states
and then puts the deereed construc-
tion of appointed judges over that
law"
DIR. Aked's text was THE People
Who Made the Calf Which Aaron
Made: An Echo of the Chicago con-
vention."
He deplored the lack of religion in
politics and said that the greatest
need of today is more Christ"
I'VE do not need any more church
es." he declared. There are too
many now. and it would be better for
the cause If We burned half of them
down and dismissed half the min
listers. What we need is more
church, more Sunday and more
Christ"
