born from the waste and destruction

is founded upon the same principle
which underlies the changes in the

AN INfPERTiNExT GOVERNOR.

Gov. COlquitt OF Texas threatens to
be source Of as much trouble 10 the
federal government as Mexico. AS
Stunning the attitude that as governor
of Texas he is superior 10 the presi-
cent Of the United States lin matters
entrusted 10 his care" the fiery. un-
tanned chief executive OF the Lone Star
state is likely 10 become a public null
sance. II not worse
The governor overlooks the fact that
Texas is no longer an Independent
state with power 10 declare war, ne
gotiate peace. make treaties and per
form all other functions belonging TO
national government. but part of "a
great republic composed Of forty eight
states. each Of which has a right 20 be
considered when acts are committed
which may involve the whole nation
in war. The governor is cOmmenda-
bly, solicitous for the welfare of the
people Of his state, but there are Ger
tain rules and precedents which pre-
clude him from assuming powers with
which ne has not been endowed.
Under the circumstances it is I'M
fortunate for Texas that the state is
situated on the border where its peO-
pie are exposed TO the Favages incl
dent 10 warfare on the other side, but
il is not as If the federal government
had not taken every precaution in its
power. with due regard Tor interna-
tional law, 10 protect them. For two
or three years the government has
maintained an army along the border
FOR this purpose. This army has done
what it could TO protect the lives and
property Of American citizens with
out invading the soil OF Mexico.
When that act is committed by
either federal )r state troops it con-
stitutes a declaration OF war and in
wolves the whole nation, not only in
hostilities with Mexico but i'm a
breach OF faith with other powers. to
which it is pledged to bring about a
peaceful solution Of the disturbances
if within the bounds Of possibility. It
is not the province of any one state to
so involve the nation. The establish
ment OF such a precedent would be
dangerous 70 the peace of the coun-
try.
South Carolina melted the other
states OF the south TO rebellion. Utah
attempted TO set up new standard
OF morality, California would have
plunged the country into war with ia
pan. Texas would further complicate a
situation which is taxing the patience
and skill Of the administration TO
maintain the honor and dignity of
the nation and TO avoid unnecessary
acts of violence.

THE SALUTARY EFFECT OF ONE
REFORM.

In no other instance has there Deeh
seen such immediate and desirable
results from a change Of systems as
mas followed the new method OF
choosing United States senators
Owing TO the provisions Of the SEN

boss of Pennsylvania. making des-
perate attempt TO obtain from the
people what formerly he used 10 de-
mand of the Legislature. and in which
demand there never entered any
question of failure or suspicion Of Oh

they are rattiing around in a most
promiscuous and confusing manner
Like the proverbial Irishman's flea,
when YOU put your finger on them
they are not there.
For example. take the local pri-
maries in Illinois on Tuesday. Some
curious. interestins, eAasperating ana
incOmprehensible things occurred.
These occurrences confirmed the cor
rectness Of the allegation chat there is
no accounting for a woman's mood.
In some places the women were
active. in other apathetic. IN many
places women were nominated for
mayor. In some places the women
vote exceeded that of the men. In
one place they united against a wom-
and and defeated her. In one place
where no women voted a woman was
nominated for village board president,
three for trustees and one for clerk.
In Wheaton only half as many women
voted as men, but they defeated two
candidates for aldermen supported by
the men.
These vagaries illustrate some Of the
problems campaign managers have to
deal with and will have as the con-
tagion spreads. In Colorado the
party managers say women lack a
sense Of responsibility. That may be
it. or it may be they simply refuse

A TRITE QUESTION.
FOOD FROM ABROAD.

IL sounds abnormal TO read OF
American people sitting down to their
breakfast and spreading their bread
and toast with New Zealand butter.
Yet this IS being done today IN lndl-
annapolis, with domestic creamerles IN
operation within a few miles OF that
city.
The facts are Undisputed. 1t costs
n cent a pound TO transport New Zea-
land butter TO San Francisco, and two
cents q pound 10 take 1t across the
continent from san Francisco to In
dianapolis. Its quality is declared 10
me practically the same as that FUR
nished, by Indiana creameries not dis
tant from Indianapolis, but which sell
their products for a few cents more
The plain deduction is that as long as
nresent prices are maintained for but
ter in this country there Will be
market for the foreign supply. but
when the domestic article comes down
an price New Zealand must also re-
duce it's prices or abandon the mar
ket
A similar process is in operation IN
the egg market, though these con-
stitute a commodity which is not so
suited TO long Journeys as butter. The
United States bureau of foreign ana
domestic commerce shows imports OF
eggs from foreign countries during
October. November and Decem Der
the first three months of the new
tariff act-amounting TO 17,1Ol,l5S
dozen. the vast majority of them hav-
ing been imported during December
Reports from China and Europe indi-
cate that this supply is increasing.
Yet the operation is unnatural. me
United States has plenty of land 10
raise its butter and eggs. All that can
be produced will have the advantage
over imports OF freshness and a short
haul. If we cannot supply ourselves
with butter and eggs Il will be due TO
some radical deficiency in making the
most of our es.-KalamaZoo

I'll ne'er forget when I was but a little
boy AT school,
How oft my teacher'd point me out to
visitors with a rule.
She'd say, There is a little boy that
some day will be great
He's up in all his lessons, leads all
classes up to date"
I'm sorry that the teachers wrong,
but such is fate, I guess.
For there was little Willie Brown,
who always made a mess
OF all his lessons every day, he never
cared a darn.
But today he is a merchant prince, be-
sides he owns a farm.
And there was "Reddy'' Mulligan. the
toughest kid in school.
Smoked cigarets and sassed the teacher
when she'd slap him with rule;
Today he is a man renowned, with
wisdom glorified.
He lives in a big mansion with his
happy little bride.
Now, as for me. I must confess at
school | was a prince,
But I've had to struggle good and
hard for a living ever since;
My friends all would encourage me in
all my Nlrtued creedS,
But one cannot the future judge by
ones past and present deeds.
BILL DE ROSE.
RESUMING the subject of kissing
introduced by Vice President Mar
shal's contention that a man should
bestow a caress Of this character upon
his wife every day, we see by the pa
pers that DR.. Harvey w. Wiley. the
HI i
job I'm the governments pure food de-
partment, has sent out a warning
against chewing gum.
WHILE the relation between kissing
and chewing gum may be obscure to
the casual observer it nevertheless ex-
lists in a collateral form. To prove this
il is necessary TO ask only two ques-
tons: Who does the gum chewing?
Who does the bulk OF the kissing? The
inference is obvious.
IF. therefore, gum chewing de-
stroyes the power OF the salivary
glands, as DR.. Wiley insists, and robs
the lips of their natural juices what
is there left for the kisser?

NOIIXA. THE LIMIT.

As an extremist, Wilbur Glenn
VOliva, the spiritual and civic boss Of
Zion City, the municipality esta blish-
ed by John Alexander Dowie of frag-
rant memory is certainly somewhere
near the limit. He has carried his
war on tobacco further than such a
crusade has ever been carried before.
ANY man who undertakes to
smoke in this town., says NoliVa-
will find hell a cold storage house
compared with Zion City We will
pass a quarantine ordinance and
quarantine every smoker In the city.
If 1 had TO sleep with q man who
drank whisky or one who chewed to-
bacco. | would take the whisky drink

skunk in preference 10 either.
Il am going TO start worldwide
war on tobacco users and | am go
ing TO see To ii that every state passes
laws that viii prohibit the use OF to-
bacco. When that law IS made | am
gOing TO advocate as a penaltr that
tobacco users be stood in a tank OF
tobacco juice up 10 their Adam S ap-
pie for L hours"
Noliva mas always been right on the
verge OF doing wonderful things. Ever
since he has been bossins things IN
Zion City. he has been about 20 DE-
something that would startle the
world. He was about 10 abolish kiss
ing and he was about 10 wipe Out
strong drink in the United states
IL is perhaps sufficient 10 say that
he has as yet done nothing and he has
occupied the late lamented Dowie's
shoes for many years.
Smokers should not despair when
they read Of Noliva's latest crusade
II is highly probable that there viii
be considerable smoking in this coun-
try even after Voliva has finished his
career and has retired 20 the chimney
