THE REEE QUESTION.

There is nothing encouraging about the outlook for meat supply in this country from the bulletin of the de- partment of agriculture. Rather does it put a discouraging appearance upon the situation for with the constantly increasing demand for beef there Is not only a failure to meet 1t. but a constant falling off In the supply. Thus does the meat problem loom up as one of the important matters for solution in the immediate future.
 The fact that cattle raising is shown to be on the decrease in this country and the price known to be so high that many are retiring from the business, as well as from the difficult task Of conducting markets, causes theS Boston Post to inquire: "Is there no remedy for this state of things? Political economy would say that the demand should stimulate the production of the supply, but the facts are the other way. Farmers do not find cattle-rais- ing attractive because they can make more and quicker money in other branches of agriculture. Ranches are being cut up into farms. All the ele- ments are against increased production of beef. And still the demand persists ana pflceS go up- IL Ab d. Cuiious Sil- uation. which may yet demand govern ment investigation and treatment"
 How much the removal of the tariff will assist remains to be seen. Wheth- CT the cutting off of cent and half pound duty will attract business to this country is deserving of early so- iution. Whether there Is enough beef which can be diverted to this market to send down the price will soon be known. but until it is determined the only way for overcoming the high cost ts to eat less meat.

PHILIPPINES NOT READY.

The frequent campaigns which it is considered necessary to wage against the Moros Of the Philippines by this country is only one of the many ar Euments which is steadily arising to show the unfitness of the islands at the present tIme for self government
 zt fig true that the Moros do not form a majority of the population of those islands. but their attitude is only one of the general conditions which call for further help and guidance before they are allowed to launch upon the uncertainties Of independence. Those who have been in authority there, who understand the requirements for self government and also the exact situa- ton in the islands. realize the error which would be committed on the part of this country should the Philippines be left to administer their own affairs with the slight experience which they have had not only in running govern ment but in the maintenance of peace.
 The trouble with the Moros Is only what could be expected from other sec lions of the islands. as a matter of fn- ternal dissension. while the danger of foreign complications would be equally as great The advice of ex-President Taft and of Bishop Brent, who has just returned therefrom. must not be overlooked in reaching a decision on this important question, Even with this country as the guardian. the niain- rerarce of peare ls accomplished only rv constantly maintaining an army in the field.

ALL STEEL CARS.

Nothing has served to stir up the demand for steel cars in the equip ment of fast trains as the loss of life through collision, and the added dan ger and suffering to the injured through fire which has been experi- enced in wooden coaches in recent rail- road wrecls. So great has become the recognized need of securing the added protection in the way of resistance and f1reproof material which steel offers over wood. that national legislation may result demanding that reform. Congressman Roberts of Massachu- settz has a bill which win require all roads to provide alI-stsel cars on main lines within a period of four years aft CT the passage thereof. The bill would make officials criminaIly liable for fall ure to do so.
 Irrespective of what may be the cause of railroad accidents, the pres ence of a1l-steel cars in the train is an added measure of safety. This has heen recognized by a number of the rpads and the parlor car service on the New Haven system is undergoing that ehange. though the time since the de- eision was put into effect has not al lowed the policy to be fully carried put The last wreck in which a wood nm -parIor car was concerned only herwed to emphasize the demand for the steel equipment Whether the pro- posed legislation is passed or not the failroad companies must realize the force of the argument, and the great regret is that human life had to be taken 10 chnch the fact that the change tu a necessity and not a hobby.

FREsH-AIR OUTINGS.

Whatever is done in the way of aid- ing in the provision of funds or oppor- tunftfes for fresh-air outings, and wherever it is attempted. it is deserv- tng of encouragement The great ben bat which is accomplished through o7ch undertakings is never fully known Dcept to those who get the direct ssneft. and then perhaps not fully f@alfzed. but it Is one of the most val fable philanthropfes of the summer eeascn- It means the display of in- berest and the extending of aid to the Door children of the big cities which could not otherwise be secured. It means a relief from the close and crowded tenement house districts with their unsanitary conditions and the transference to the open country with its good air and invigorating atmo- sphere Such a change made possible through fresh-aiF funds means a tonic to any constitution. whether 1t be a chEd or an adult It gives the op- porrunity for forgetting the hurndrum of everyday existence, gives new rieaSures and possibilities to life as well as those benefits which change of environment is always calculated to accomplish.
 The freEhair movement Is founded upon humanitarian principles. It's yearly record is full of pathetic cases and while the most deserving are sought. the difficulty of determining such only serves to point oRt the ex- tensive field for operation and while the big cities have their special prob lerrs in this direction. the smaller cit ieE are by no means without them.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Forget Self.

There is no unspotted happiness when self is present. The minute you exclaim: How happy 1 am!" you are conscious that a cloud has obscured the serenity of your hour.
 This Is often expressed by the mo- tion T am too happy. It cannot last. Something evil is sure to happen. Which 1 smerely a. customary though fantastic, way in which we give evil dence that self-consciousness has spoiled our bliss.
 Contrast, for instance. the glee of a little child and the elation of those grown people who are getting drunk. For the difference between being in- toxicated with the spirits of corn on the one hand and the spirits of youth on the other is precisely the difference between conscious and unconscious hilarity.
 Humility is the secret of good man ners. Whoever moves about and talks in forgetfulness of self is innately po- lite. The boor and awkward Tout is simply the person who is oppressed with himself
 It was said of Matthew Arnold that The discovered the purely intellectual importance of humility. To see things self out of the way The weakness of pride lies after all in this: That one ; self is a window. It can be a colorei window, if you will; but the more thtckly you lay on the colors the less of window it will be. The two things to be done with a window are to wash 1t and then forget 1t"

 Nobody quite had the nerve to get the things as soon as Hattie appeared in them Not that people did not dare copy her There was an un- written law that nobody could copy Hattie Gringles till the wholesalers began casting the idea broadcast and by that time Hattie was out with something else.
 She was wearing skimpy skirts when the other women were buying i've yards of skirt braid and using ii around the bottom edges of their skirts.
 And by the time they had got tc the skimpy stage she had the dry goods store frantically telegraphing for more goods to make Hattie Grin : gle's new dress skirt fully ten yards around!
