IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN
GoVERNME ENT,

The government ought to be changed There never was a government that did not need changing. There never will be.
 Certain reformers seem to imagine that if we could get a perfect govern ment the ills of the nation would speedily be cured.
 This is merely one form of that enthusiastic but mistaken dream to which in general mankind is prone; to wit that we ourselves would be Ideal if we only had ideal eircum- stances.
 For government is but q circum- stance, a part of our environment, one of the outward conditions to which we are subject; 8 very important one, to be sure.
 But we might as well say, if we had an ideal family, or home, or town or schools. or churches; for all these things mean simply Ideal people, which you probably will never find
 We all have the perfect man, the faultless woman in our minds eye; but we shall never see one with the eye of this flesh. The best we can do is to keep approximating to per lection as best we can.
 The ideal government is simply that government where there is the maxi mum of order with the minimum of constraint.
 We approach this only as individ- uals become by nature more orderly. AS the citizen improves in self-control

FOREIGN INTERESTS IN MEXICO

Mexico appears to be doing business almost wholly on foreign capital, and 10 be in the clutch of the octopus as few countries are. The natural re- sources of the country are nearly all in foreign hands.
 The statistics show that only two per cent of the railroad bonds are owned by Mexicans-American and Englishmen owning sS per cent. More than half of the bank stocks are owned by foreigners The mines be- long almost wholly to American and British investors, the former greatly predominating. The smelters are chiefly American property. The great bulk of the national governments 8 bonds are held in the United States, Great Britain and France.
 The timber lands are owned mostly by foreigners. and the cotton mills are nearly all French. More than half of the factories are the property of foreigners. The larger part of the street railroads. the power plants and the electric lighting plants belong to British investors. The wholesale stores are chiefly Ere nch and German. The oil fields are almost wholly owned by Americans. and the rubber plantations are the property of citizens of the United States.
 With such an exhibit as this possi- ble. 1t is not necessary to ask what is the matter with Mexico. Mexico has lost her grip upon the things of most value 10 a nation, and how is she ever 10 recover it?

THEY RECOGNIZE THEIR FOLLY.

It is useless to expect progressives, so-called, to be consistent. They have no use for consistency if it Is jewel.
 State-wise, they claim to be repub- licans; but nationally not to be re- pubicans: or. in other words, they are half maltese and half rot maltese. if you can conceive of such a thing.
 Ins the state they propose to sup port the regular ticket; but nationally to give their vote to candidate who has repudiated their party as a party of bosses steeped in graft and fraud, a man who first averred for the pref erential primaries but, having lost the nomination is now willing to create party and with hand picked delegates to appear as the unanimous choice for the presidency of the progressive party.
 What kind of progress is this which leads ambitious citizens away from organization and orderly procedure to promote the personal ambitions of one man, regardless of its effect upon their country? A man who said he would not be candidate, but that he would regard his renomination as a calamity to his country; republican who said he would abide by the action of the Chicago convention; a man who com menting upon his seven years of off cial distinction. said: T had a great run for my money and all the honor there was in it-I want no more!"
 Colonel Roosevelt resigned his mem- bership in a republican club and open ly declares he is no longer a republi- can, but is politically free! And men of supposed judgment are state-wise republicans and nationally anti-re- publican.
 This is the most ridiculous position any politicians were ever known to take in this country; and the untena- bleness of it is so clear that the world laughs at it.
 The cause of all this Is the fear that they will give the democratic party supreme control if they do not play double instead of straight.

AM INCOME TAX.

Those who are inquiring what the excise bil is which passed the senate last week, VIII be interested to know it is no more nor less than an income tax. This measure provides that tax of one per cent. shall be levied on the net earnings of individuals and of partnerships in excess of S5,0O0 a year.
 IL is a sister tax to the tax on cor porations, and an addition in a way 10 it. and is not destined to be re- celved with popular acclaim by the business men of the country.
 This bin. when 1t was passed by the democrats and progressives, had sev- erai riders attached to 1t. One amend nent repealed the reciprocity act and levied a tax of S2 a ton on print paper, reducing the present duty $1.75 a ton.
 What view of this law the supreme court will hold is the question The court has decided a straight income tax Is unconstitutional; and that the corporation tax Is constitutional What it win do with a mongrel law which in efrect is a straight income tax, re- mains to be seen.
 Some of the senators think it would have been better to have enacted a straight income tax and sent it to the supreme court for reconsideration.

THEY WILL READ TIE BIBLE.

There is a wonderful revival going on in the old world which the priests cannot hold up. II began with three carpenters in Budapesth who secretly obtained a Bible forty years ago and became informed of the carpenters Son, and they were so impressed that they became evangelists and from that day to this the work has gone on. The Birmingham Post says the agitation is producing church after church of Primitive Bible Baptists all over south eastern Europe, from the Bohmer Wald tO the Caucasus. The authori- ties. church and lay object to Bible study; it makes peasants and toilers think; sometimes it makes them think wrong; they imprlson, they exile; fac tory hands who speak of the book they have read to other men are fined and scourged: children who go to a hereto Sunday school are caned in the day school by teacher and priest The penalty of baptism is, in some places, c months imprisonment for the immersed, and three months i'm prisonment for each convert for the officiating pastor; in other places. bap- tism Is sanctioned by the police, if. after an interval of weeks, neither priest, monks. nor bishops can per- suads the convert to recant his faith. The movement goes on spreading; Testaments are burnt, but not till the owners have learnt every word by heart"

Mrs. Merriwid was sitting at her It, tie semi Sheraton writing desk with a thoughtful and ink smudged brow when her maternal maiden Aunt Jane came in from marketing.
 A pile of large purple envelopes bulging with purple paper was top pied over in front of the inky young widow and half dozen sheets of the same stationery were scattered over the desk. She held up a hand in a gesture imposing silence upon Aunt Jane's entrance. Her lips moved slow ly and her eyes were fixed upon spot on the ceiling.
 What in the world!" calculated Aunt Jane
 Mrs. Merriwid, with an air of sud den inspiration, brought her eyes down from the ceiling and scribbled rapid ly for a minute or two. Then she said "There!"
 Butter is up cents again this morning, Melissa" Aunt Jane re- marked. What are you doing?" I'm wooing the muse as Mir. Rom do puts it, and I don't thank you for putting in with butter, if you'll pardon me, dearie,' replied Mrs. Merriwid. Tn other words, I'm writing poetry. That young man has been sending me batch of verse for the last three weeks and I feel I ought to recipro cate. Did I ever show you any of his sonnets, aunt? Well, sit down and have the time of your well spent life. You see he uses purple paper, only ne calls 1t fabric of the Tyrian dye He has many purple thoughts, don't you know"
 "Nonsense!" said Aunt Jane. "Oh, very we'll" returned Mrs. Mer- riwid, equably. Still, if you were of sympathetic nature you wouldn't say such harsh things. What is your un- biased, unrufied untucked opinion of this:
 "' My heart is thine, as thou siiouldst

The German naval programme pro vides that the navy shall consist of thirty eight battleships twenty large armored cruisers, and thirty eight cruisers to be in active service by 1917, writes Commodore w. H. Beechler in The Century. All of these ships are to be modern in every respect, as no vessel over twenty years old is con- sidered efficient, and such must be re- placed by a new ship.
 As the eight battleships still building will be completed within a year, the prescribed strength of thirty eight will have been attained; but there is agi- tation in the Reichstag for an enlarg- ed programme, consisting of fifty eight battleships, and other ships in propor- tion, which seems likely to be adopt ed.
 The German navy has l3S destroyers ranging from 300 to 680 tons, and the law provides for building twelve torpe- do destroyers annually.
 There are twelve submarines, and the Reichstag appropriated S2,7500,- 900 last year for additional subma- rines
