Standpat Nature the World Over.
A tariff standpatter in our own
house rises to explain that the Payne
Aldrich act is right-glorious tariff
act. which has made us prosperous
to know it! Why do 80 many of us
kick and talk of downward revision?
Because we let fools, demagogues, col
lege doctrinaries and muck-rakers ex-
cite and mislead us. There are the
delectable opinions of ]. Hampton
Moore.
A Berlin newspaper of the militarist-
jingo school, having heard something
about Mr.. Bryan's peace proposals,
hastens to denounce him as a sickly
agitator, immortal laughing stock, and
manufacturer of twaddle, and inciden-
tally drops an opinion to the effect
that Americans are ignorant and con-
ceited.
In England the tory standpatter is
sure that everything would be lovely
If the criminal Asquith government,
with it's social legislation, insurance
and old-age pensions. its land reforms
and manhood suffrage, could be chloro-
formed and buried.
The blind bourbon fanatics still
have their role in the drama of civil
ization. Perhaps they are intended to
embody the comic relief. The mod
crate man and the sober-minded con-
servative are heard with respect and
interest, but the Incorporate stand
pat obscurantists merely add to the
gayety OF the nations.

Problems for Big and Little Mathematicians

Statistics are not generally attractive reading.
Millions and billions are incomprehensibe terms The
mind deals with relative values. A thing is big or
small by comparison. 1t means great deal more,
fore instance, to say that the money spent annually
for ntoxcants in the United States would build ff-
teen Panama Canals with $45ooo,ooo left over as a
starter for the sixteenth, than to say that the amount
is S117o6ooooo The reason is that most folks have
a fair idea of the bigness of the Panama Canal enter
prise The Scientific Temperance Journal for May

ing to the annual drink bill of the United States The
Journal says:

United States during the past five years was
$8853 100000 The average per capita ex-
penditure for each of the past three years has
been 1884, or $o42o for each family of five
persons These are considered conservative

drink annually If instead of using this for
drink SIS were spent for suit for father,
SIS for suit for mother, and $40 for clothing
for each of the three children, how much
would there still be left for pleasure trips or
for books? (Ans. $I4.2o).
g. If the $1,77o6oo,ooo annually spent
for drink were paid over to the 27,373,o55
men and women wage-earners in the United

T.. Each state needs at least one sana-
forum for its people who are suffering from
tuberculosis, many of whom are dying for
lack of treatment and are a constant source
of danger to others. Each state needs a
colony where its mentally defective persons
can have the necessary training and care to
prevent them from doing harm to themselves
and to others, and to prevent the reproduce
ton of their kind.
If one-thrd of the annual expenditure
for drink ($I,77o6oo,ooo) were set aside for
