Just the same it can be made better and I am con- Vinced that if this entire queston was left to the head of our police depart ment with the decent citizenship of the city standing oyally back of him, surprising results could and would Joe achieved. Of course permanent bet torment of the conditions complained of can not be effected without a thor ough organization being forced by our civic forces that will compel the ex- else commissioners, in whom is vested the power to issue liquor licenses, to refuse licenses to the notorious resorts in the vicinity of Saturday nights crime and also to endeavor to secure from the owners of the property a covenant to clean out their undesfra- ble tenants as soon as possible.
 Every landlord in the city should have his attention called to the state law so that the time-worn and foolish argument of scattering the vice could not be successfully raised. It is idle to argue against such an absurd prop osition. If the police on the bea s throughout the city were instructed to notify the owners of unoccupied property not to rent their holdings to undesirables, under penalty of the law, you would soon find the city was abe to rid itself of a portion of it's popu- Iation without seriously injuring its claim to the second city of the state.

 All Afflicted Persons

There Is hope of a welI-baSed kind which should bring joy and ultimate eonteutment to multitudes of persons who have been troubled for years with deafness or head nnises.
 Dr. Coutaut. an able specialist, has evolved a newly perfected method for treating cases where the hearing iS not perfect or where the sufferer Is haraSs ed by ringing. rnaring. buzZing or other disagreea ble noises in the head. It Rp pears that about 95 out of every hun dred cases are from causes amenRhle to proper treatment.
 pr. COntant oOes not advocate the use of drugs or electricity. He relies chiefly upon cooperating witE Nature in bringing about speedy and effectu al cure of morbid aural conditions Re markable cures are reported. many of them being Tn the cases of deafness that had existed for about 20 to 10 years. With the description given Tn his newly published hook. the learned dOcto provides a long series of letters. written hy per~0ns w had been given up as hopeless. and who were speedily cured "t home ithOut inSS of time and without inconvenience by pr. COutant's natural home method.
 Anyone who Is interested can write to a dozen or a hundred of the persons who. not long ago. were victims of deafness or head noises tor bothI and who are now delighted to proclaim themselves as marvHilously benefited or completely cured.
 pr COutant is not one of the ire sponsibIe quacks. of which there Is xlIr-h a large number. but is a reput able. responsible. icPntiate. practising physician with a third of a century's active experience.
 The doctor believes there are many who are troubled with deafness. etc, who might be perma nently freed from their inability to hear and from tin uffuS (noiseSI if they would do oth- ers have successfully done. merely fol lowing the advice given.

 Broken rails constitute one of the principle causes of railway accidents. The manufacturers of the rails are frequently to blame, because they have furnished defective rails, but ia judging the culpability of the rail roads some weight should be given to the circumstance that the Steel Trust has its friends on many of the boards of directors of the leading railroads of the country.
 The Federal Express was derailed in this city, last July. Fourteen were killed and many injured.
 Many of these accidents are due 10 greed for dividends and income to pay interest charges. The greed for divi- dends grows out of the evil of stock watering. Many of the railroads of the country are struggling under a load of capitalization not represented by physical value of their properties The New Haven road, since 1907, has been a leader in the race for swollen capitalization and bonded debt. The too frequent accidents occurring on the New Haven lines are not inn probably closely connected with that fact.

A coMPARrsoN-LNCoLN, ROOSEVELT, TAFT

1 How poorly does the lion hunter appear, placed between the Lion | Hearted Senator from Wisconsin, who for many years has led a peoples fight, and the conservative and stub- born Taft, enlisted with the interests but recanting not at all, denying nothing, making no attempt to gain popular favor by changing. chame- leon like, the color of his opinions. Just as Roosevelt expressed his dis pleasure with the people of Oklahoma because they would take to them selves power over their laws, TaIt scoIded the people Of Arizona. Roose- welt, repentant with that lively re- pentance which consists of a hope for forgiveness and favors to come, goes to Ohio, to tell Ohioans what a good thing the initiative and the referen- dunn are.
 Not so Taft. Addressing the New York State Bar Association he speaks as follows:
 There are those who do not believe that all people are fitted for popular government. The fact is we know they are not Some of us dare not say so, but I do. ***We are called upon now, we Of the bar, to say whether we are going to protect the institut on of the Judiciary and continue it indepen- dent of a majority of all the peo- ple."
 Taft would set the judges above all the people.
 Lincoln said: At the same time the candid citizen must confess that i if the policy of the government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocahly fixed by decision of the Supreme Court the in stant they are made in ordinary liti- gations between persons in personal actions the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their gov ernment into the hands of that emin- ent tribHnal.p
 Compare Lincoln, right by habit and conscience, with Roosevelt, right to be popular and Taft, wfong because of prejudice and environment.
