Poverty and Drink.

The familiar old assertion which has
done excellent service on the Prohibition
stump and in prohibition literature, and
was even used by that party's candidate
for president in recent campaign, to the
effect that poverty and crime are large
ly caused by intemperance, is not con-
firmed by the report of the latest inves-
tigation made in New York by the as
ISOLATION for improving the condition Of
the poor, an exceedingly conservative
organization.
1t investigated the circumstances OF
6,730 dependent families and found that
in only 1876 households, or about 5 per
cent of the total number, the depend
ence was caused by intemperance. Sick
ness caused the poverty in 2629 fam
lies, and unemployment was responsible
for the dependence of 1854 families.
That is to say. over-indulgence in
liquor caused the restitution of only one
family in 20. And who shall say that
even in that small percentage of poverty
due directly TO intemperance the intern
peranee itself was not caused in part, at
least. by poverty? It is very easy to
get the cart before the horse when
searching for causes.-.Boston Globe.

of grave doubt. All European referen-
ces to the use of spectacles before the

The Winning Issue

Senator Rayner gives to the Sun an interview in regard to the approach ing campaign in which he points out that in his opinion the tariff must be the chief issue. In this he is wise. The Democrats ought never to for get that this has been. their winning issue, and that it can be made so again by a fearless, sincere demand for tariff for revenue only, must be perfectly plain. True, some of the Southern Democrats are either luke warm in opposition to the high tariff or openly protectionists for their To- cal industries. But this only empha- sizes the more the necessity of nuttip9 this issue to the front by the party as a whole. Never was the country so ripe for a full discussion of the tariff; never. have the evils it brings with it been so apparent to the public at large. The Lawrence mill-strike has once and for all exploded the argument that protection means the safeguarding of American labor from the competition of hordes of under paid foreigners. Even in Pennsylvania they have learned that it does not do to make fetich of the tariff-New York Evening Post.

BOYS ABLEsT; GIRLS MOST FAITHFUL

The relative mathematical abilities of boys and girls and of the white race as compared with the black are among the subjects taken up in monograph by the United States Bu- reau of Education. The monograph is entitled Mathematics in the Public and Private Secondary Schools of the United States" and considers the abil- ity of the boys and girls as shown only in the type of school indicated by the title.
 "1t seems to be the general opin- ion that the average boy shows more ability in mathematics than the aver- age girl, but also that he does not work so faithfully" says the mono graph. 'In a mixed class this great CT ability of the boy and the greater faithfulness of the girl react most ad- vantageously on each other.
 Another fact that is noted is this: In elementary algebra the girl does as good work as the boy; in geometry not nearly so good. In advanced al- zebra and trigonometry, the boy shows an ability which is far ahead of the girl. Yet, we are free to con- fess that his greater natural ability is often outclassed by the steady, pa tient endeavor of the girl. Perhaps it would be safer to say that the girl

dictator, there is reason to assume ing six years term.
 It is not likely, however, that the president will continue to be vested with the importance which is now giv- en to him in the American system.
 For period the people have been much dissatisfied with their legisla- tive bodies, from Congress down, and have regarded the executive as more truly representative of them, and this faith has given the executive branch an importance above the constitution al powers of the office. As matter of fact the executive has relatively small powers compar- ed with the Congress. All signs in- dicate that the congress is about to return to the status of body in which the people have full confidence, and that it will resume the place which the parliament of a nation ought to fill in the government of that nation.
 Few matters have so served to de- lay popular government in this coun- try as the undue importance given to the executive, with the corresponding carelessness that has attended upon the choice of members of the legis- lative branch.

AN UNWORTHY MEASURE

The Dillingham;. Immigration Bill will shortly be voted upon by the House of Representatives. If it Is enacted into-a law of the land the United States will have ceased to be an asylum for political refugees, and will have subscribed itself to the roster of nations whose blood-stained fists are raised against those who dare to lift their voices for and dedicate their lives to human progress The bill is made especially dangerous by the incorporation into it of the Root amendment, which provides, among other things, for the deportation of "any alien who shall take advantage of his residence in the United States to conspfre with others for the violent overthrow of a foreign government recognized by the United States
