eRATuITIEs AND eRAFT.

If the general assembly refuses to avoid the newspaper graft then the ewspapers better do so. The Jour nal-Courier here goes on record. No graft need be offered here. Next New Haven Journal-Courier.
 The Bulletin readily endorses this sentiment as it has in the past, and 1t is one to which every newspaper in the state should lend its voice. That the press should encourage for themselves what they would be tho first to denounce in others is the height of inconsistency, a situation which destroys influence and respect, and it simply needs the courage on the part of every newspaper to say No! and mean 1t, to wipe out the practice which is not only discreditab1e to the recipients but likewise to the state. The newspaper men who do Iegisla- tive work are under salary to one or more newspapers and the idea that they should be paid by the state for 5aithfs1l attention to their duties is a zedectian upon their employers, and is es far from the proper basis of doing the states work as it would be for the members of the general assembly to double their salary for giving their time and attention to the work for which they are elected and paid. The amount involved is small but the prin- ciple Is wrong. Governor Baldwin does well when he expresses the hope that none will be voted at this session of the general assembly and declares that they seem forbidden by the terms of our constitution. Graft and gratuities should be eradicated at every oppor- tunity be they large or small.

END OF THE CORNER.

Though practically everyone had which are so often practiced to the great advantage of the few and even greater injury of the many, were H. legal combinations and ought to be forbidden, that judgment has now been substantiated by the United States su- preme court and promises to correct 8 practice the absence of which will operate. though perhaps uneonsciously to the benefit of the consumer. Now that the Sherman law stands as an op- ponent of this kind of speculation, it is to be hoped that it will operate to free the future from all fraudulent features of speculative trading espe- ctaI1y concerning commodities which contribute so extensively to susten- erce. Especially reprehensible from the viewpoint of the average man is 1he 'tcornering" of any commodity which sends the price soaring and hc,ds it there while those in the ring continue to squeeze from the public the toll for their smartness in reaiiz- ing and taking advantage of the help lessness of those who must come to their terms.
 It is welcome news that the "corherT is against the law and relief to the people to know that they have weapon at their command which is for their defense and against fraud ulent mantpulatere

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN
Love and the Sex Instinct.

Does love spring from the sex in stinct and is it but a modification or that? There are some who believe this. I do not. And for the reason that l love many persons where the sex in stinct does not enter into my feeling at all; as, for instance, my brother, mother, daughter or friend.
 This, however, is true, that love has a powerful affinity for the sex motive, as alcohol has for water. The sex feeling strongly inspireS and intensi- fies love. And loyal love redeems pas sion from it's degrading tendency and makes it pure and wholesome. But they remain two distinct things.
 Love is the forthputting of the forces of life. We do not know what life is. but we do know that wherever it appears it na-nifests itseR by loving.
 Life moves in widening circles; so we see love out from th- individual to the family, the state. mankind, God. For love of God is the awakening to life of the highest functioning of the soul.
 It Is but natural that life should express itself in its intensest form in the cfeative instinct. This is at once the most essential and the most dan gerous form of love. Without 1t the race would perish. It is the inspiration of our art, our litera ture and oil the more interesting elements of our ca- reer It also fills our prisons and SUD- plies our uever ending tragedy.
 < Love is iifes- And life is hailing.

STAMPS AND BOOKS.

If is only ten days now that the parcels post has been in operation and 1t has hardly gotten into good working shape, but the picking of flaws and the suggestions for changes are fre- ouently heard. There is apparently a dislike over the requirement that spe- cial stamps be used for that service and the fact that books are not in cluded therein. The system was not inaugurated as 3, perfect system it be- ing realized that it was far better to work out whatever defects there might be in such new service rather than hold up the new department until it could be perfected, the possibility of which without actual operation is very slim In the requirement. of the special stamp it is similar to the successful systems of European countries, and has this advantage to the government that it is thereby able to readily de- terrpine the returns from that service for any period which it may desire. Tn making the venture it is desirable to know the returns and the expenses and through the sale of the stamps the returns therefrom is known from day to day, which would be impossible if the regular. stamps were used.
 As the service progresses it is going to be possible to make many changes anu improvements. The government required the use of the special de- livery stamp for many years and it is only recently that the regular stamps could be substituted therefor It cannot be expected that the reforms. will come within such short period but there will be worked out many i'm provements which it was realized be- fore the start would be apt to develop, and the stamp and book question will doubtless get attention in time.

MuNsEYs PROPOSITION.

The proposition which MT Munsey makes for the getting together of the republicans and progressiyes shows that he realized the old saying that in union there is strength and that the progressives of which he was an important leader stand in a position which is of benefit only to the demo- cratic party. His proposition of form ing a holding company for the talk ing over of the two parties gives a 'big business" touch to the idea which he holds against which however there is a decided opposition
 In it's consideration of Mr. Munsey's proposition the New York Tribune says
 If MT. Munsey had read President Taft's speech at the Republican club dinner the other night he might have obtained an inkling of the causes which keep the republican and the progres sive organizations apart. If those two parties get together again it will only be after the present causes of es- arrangement have been removed, and not because someone takes out a char ter at Trenton and imposes harmon from above through the vote of the board of directors of a holding com pany.

 However MT. Munsey would have It accomplished, it is evident that he realizes the inconsistency of the pres ent stand of the party he represents He is evidently paving the way for a return and in that direction there are many others inclined after taking a careful, straight in the face look at the situation as it has been and as it is

SEEKING GREATER SAFETY.

Better protection for the navigators is made apparent and its advocacy taken up with added interest follow ing disasters Tfiich occur along the coast and it is such which is stirring the people Of New Jersey at the pres ent time for a better system of lights further out to sea for the warning of tho presence of the dangerous shoals aleng the coast The grounding Of a coaster there has emphasized the sit uation and while 1t brings the Jersey coast immediately to the front there are many other points which require the same kind of agitation. It is not possible to provide too much guidance in a matter of this kind, as long as there is a distinctiveness about the signals which overcomes any chance of their being mistaken for each other. Beacon lights at night are the friends of the nRvigators, without which eCasting navigation at night would be extremely periious.
 What is going to be a great aid to navigation at particularly dangerous points along the entire Atlantic coast is the movement for making the inland waterways available, and the meaning of this is most plainly given by the example of the Cape Cod canal, by the use of which the dangerous and shift ing shoals to be guarded against in rounding the cape are to be overcome a much shorter route provided and the greatest step for safety ever attempted in that locality. This will not do away with the necessity of the lights, but it is one instance of what is being done in the interest of safety and an in dication of the general movement in that direction, the value of which is imulediately recognized.

Grandmother Used Sage Tea to
 Darken Her Faded or Gray Hair

Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy'- you will get large bottle for about 50 cents. Some druggists make their own, which is usually too sticky, so insist upon getting Wyeth's, which can be depended upon to restore nat ural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, feverish. itchy scalp and falling hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says his customers insist on Wyeths that nobody can tell it has been ap- plied-its so easy to use too. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. Do this at night and by morning the gray hair disap- pears; after another application or two, it is restored to it's natural col or and looks glossy. soft and abund- ant.

 Yale men are at Oxford to act tips ! on rowing. Captain Snowdon of the university crew and Head Coach w 1 Averell Hartman, son of the late York last Saturday for a trip of a
 month. They have gone with the plan of. studying the stroke an methods of the English crews, and the Oxford seen on the Thames next spring if the
 visitors are sufficiently impressed. They will return about February 1, about the time that indoor practice be- gins.
 In 1876 Bob Cook introduced stroke he had learned in England, and his victory, after q string of defeats, made his a famous name in Yale rowing an- nals, so much so that he was called back after last years everhauling to give some supervision to the crews. In 1877 Harvard won against the Cook stroke. and then the professional coach was brought in, with a short, rapid stroke in contrast to the long, easy English pull That won for a few years, but defeat came again in 1882 and 1883. The English method came back once more in 1884. and until 1889 Cooks sweeping stroke continued to bring Yale victories. Then, and since, notifications were introduced by John Kennedy that have had the results that all Yale men deplore. Once more, in the old time-tested way, coaches and oarsmen are hoping to regain, aft CT the routs of recent years, the su- premacy of the Blue.

SUGGEST DICE BOX
BETTER THAN VOTE
Portland Attorney Bitterly Attacks
Preferential System Of Choosing
in His Argument.

The case Of Abigail Scott Duniway
and others against the city Of Portland
to have the recent commission form Of
government election declared void was
argued before the supreme court today.
Arguments were commenced at 10
o'clock anil when adjournment was had
at noon were not completed.
Attorney Duniway, who appears for
the plaintiff, attacked especially the
preferential system of voting, by which
first, second and third choices are
made. He asserted that it would be
fairer for all concerned to create an
official dice box and have the eandi-
dates appear and settle the affair on a
certain date. nr.
He asserted that the voted who wish
cd to elect a man could express first
and second choices for weak candidates
and vote for their candidate as third
choice. It was his assertion that the
third choice candidates had the best Of
it, not being hedged by majority regu-
lations, as the first and second choice
candidates.
Duniway contended that the election
on the commission form was held in vio-
lection Of the state laws and constitu.
tion and charged that small commit
tee was seeking to upset the sovereign
rule Of the people.
Attorneys for the city contended that
there was nothing unconstitutional or
unlawful in the proceedings.
