In fixing the blame for the East
land disaster, there should be some
attached to the government officers
who failed to do their duty. They
had CONDEMNED" the boat several
times, but all it amounted to was
the writing OF letters-the boat was
continued in use. II, when they had
condemned it, they had tied 1t up
at a wharf until it was put in prop
err condition, there would have been
no disaster. 1t was the same way
with the Titanic-if it had been
properly inspected and the findings
enforced, the passengers would
have been saved. Some day a
righteous Judge will hold an official
who only half does his duty, equally
guilty with the mep allowed to con-
tinue risking human life.

sugar. but the question is, will the
next chairman of the ways and
means committee and the floor
leader Mr.. Kitchin dare to put 1t to
the test by opening up the whole
tariff law to amendment? With a
majority of but 20 in the House 1t
would be a ticklish situation at
best.
In an attempt to put Republi-
can president in the hole, and In
order to play politics, the Demo
Gratis in the 62nd congress brought
in several tariff bills to amend GER
tain schedules of existing law
pop-gun' bills as they were called.
One of these schedules passed the
House with little difficulty, but
" hen it got to the Senate an amend
lnent reducing duties on an add
tional schedule OF the law was tied
to the House bill and carried
through. Like the rest of the tar
III tomfoolery of that session, 1t re-
ceived the presidential veto.
1t is hardly possible that with the
small Democratic majority in the
House an attempt would be made to
limit consideration to the sugar
schedule alone and especially would
this be true should the request
come from the president. The Tam

FOR VALUE RECEIVED.

The liquor interests have unwitting-
ly given prohibition in West Virginia
much valuable publicity. Their frantic
efforts to prove that deficit in the
state treasury is due to the loss OF
liquor revenue has called forth from
loyal citizens OF the little mountain
state" strong testimonials on the sub
tect. In the light Of the moral, social
and economic benefits derived from
the prohibitory law. testified to by
men of every class, deficiency of a
few thousand dollars seems Of com
paratively little Importance.
AS matter of fact the loss OF tho
100000 a year in revenue to West
Virginia as a result OF the adoption of
the constitutional prohibition amend
ment does not impose upon the indi-
vidual taxpayer any burden worth con-
sidering. In a letter written by the
state auditor, which has recently been
made public, he shows that FIVE cents
additional state taxes on the hundred
dollar valuation will take care of the
money loss ON liquor licenses. This
would cost a man whose property was
assessed at $1,000, fifty cents; IL he
has $4,000 worth, he would have to
pay one dollar, and II he had $4,000,
he would be obliged to expend five
dollars. So much for the enormous
load of taxation being thrust upon the
property owners of the state because
Of prohibition! The payment of such
insignificant amounts would certainly
appeal to level-headed business man
as a mighty good investment.

Books and BANGS.

John Kendrick Bangs. author of "A
Houseboat on the Styx," and Coffee
and Repartee,' who is spending the
summer at his camp in Maine, said in
an interview last week; People
should own an6 read books just as
they should seek friendships, and try
to understand their friends. A book
that one has come to know, and to
love, is one of the truest of friends.
In my library in Maine are not many
books, but none the less Lincoln walks
there with me: Emerson is my friend;
Balzac and Dumas are permanent
dwellers at my side; frolic with
Mark Twain there; | travel with o.
Henry. and play boyish tricks with
Aldrich and Penrod; fence with Mon
taigne. and the great spirits OF The
Spectator"

ATTITUDE OF CATHOLIC CHURCH.

"All the great Catholic societies re-
fuse membership to those engaged in
the liquor business" says Mr.. John F.
Cunneen, prominent Catholic and la
Dor leader. "In Maine the Catholics
have a majority of the church mem
bership, and you knew how Maine
stands on the liquor question. In
Cambridge. Mass. the Catholic church
membership equals II per cent of the
total church membership, and for 2S
years Cambridge has outlawed the sa-
loon. While the Catholic may vote
as he pleases upon the saloon ques-
ton, the church gives him no argu-
ment in favor OF the saloon. On the
contrary, all the arguments are against
It. Rev. James e. Cassidy OF Fall
River, Mass. once said: You dare
not pray for the salson.' No Catholic
who follows Father Cassidy's advice
will vote for the saloon"

POOR OLD JOHN.

John Barleycorn the staggering,
Just now is badly staggering beneath
repeated blows; for kings say. HE is
ruinous-dodgast the stun he's brew
IN u.s." and bin him on the nose. The
kings, alert and vigorous, are taking
measures rigorous, to swat old John
again: He's worse than guns and
sabers are" remark the kings. his
labors are addressed TO drowning
men. Out where our flags are SHIN
mering the bottle must go glimmering.
1t makes the soldier rude; 1t spoils
the ardent warrior, and nothing could
be sorrier than fighting men half
stewed." Thus speak the Lords
anointed ones, and they are the ap-
pointed ones their peoples veal to
guard; they see that John, the lecher-
GUS, is vicious, mean and treacherous,
and so they soak him hard. And II. in
Europes villages, old John, who slays
and pillages, runs up against a frost,
the war, with all its slaughtering, that
leaves the nations tottering, is well
worth what 1t cost.-Walt Mason.

The Bonnie Conductor LassIe.

Edinburgh, Scotland. has two dozen
women street car conductors who are
thorough success in the new line Of
work. Other tramways are already
recruiting girls and training them to
be conductors. II is said that girls
working in the English cartridge fac
tories are so fired with patriotism
that some of them work thirty hours
in stretch without any rest. Miss
Elizabeth Lister has been appointed u
stationmaster In South Wales, the first
woman to act in that capacity. In
the north OF England and in Scotland
and Wales the men workers are being
supplanted in the fields by women,
who can be seen following the bar
row or digging and hoeing.
