HUMORS OF CASTE.
How Rules Governing Travel, Study
and Dining Are Broken.

| Though going to foreign countries
by crossing the ocean is to break
ones caste, hundreds of young In
dians are now visiting Europe and
America in pursuit of modern scien-
tiic and industrial education, says
the Century Magazine. Indeed, so
numerous are the families affected
that public opinion has compelled the
Brahmans TO ordain that no loss Of
caste shall result from going abroad
for education. The step next contem-
plated is to have merchants and other
business men exempted from the ban.
1t is known that in time all classes
of travellers will be exempted.
It is not so much the going abroad
that is objected to as the eating OF
forbidden food. as beef, pork and
chicken or any food cooked by for
eigners. To obviate partly this diff
ficulty the Hindus have just organiz-
ed steamship line, the Indian Pen
insula company, between Bombay and
London. On board the ship of this
line Hindu caste rules are studiously
observed. This company is soon to
open hotel in London for the caste
people of India, so that Hindu stu
dents, merchants and travellers may
go to London, reside for any length
of time and still return home with
out breaking their caste.
Caste rules prohibit people of diff
ferent castles dining together. These
rules, however, are broken by the
rising generation in schools and col
leges. The students, defying the cold
and calculating conservatives, use the
school and college buildings for din
ner parties, where Hindus and Mo-
hammedans, Christians and Jains.
Buddhists and atheists, break bread
together. In Benares, the stronghold
of Brahmanical orthodoxy, intercaste
dinners are of common occurrence.
The Indian leaders in reform have
gone step further. On a public oc-
casion they dined publicly with Eu-
ropeans in the town hall of Calcutta.
These diners are helping break down
obnoxious rules and thus are estab-
fishing dinner table democracy.

The Majesty of the Law.

The difficult part OF legislation is
inserting the majesty in the proper
proportion. Almost any old legisla-
tor can pass laws, but when they try
to make them majestic, nine out of
ten legislators, perhaps more, fail
utterly. 1t is not the law itself that
inspires people with respect, and
makes them tremble and genufect
and kowtow; it is the majesty Of the
law. Occasionally, however, we will
find a law that has too much majes-
ty, so much that all the common
sense has been crowded out. This is
as bad as not enough. There are
many laws on our statute books, but
only very few of them are properly
maiesticated. Hence the confusion
and other annoyances that make con,
tempt of court so common these days

LEARNING TO SWIM.
Next Generation Won't Be as Help
les in Water as Present.

Scores of people owe their escape
from the Eastland disaster to their
ability to swim. Other scores were
pulled out by fellow passengers who
could swim. Had every one on the
boat been able to swim the death list
would probably have been reduced
one-half This is not saying that
many people who could swim were
not drowned, or that being able TO
swim would always mean escape. The
point we wish to make is that, other
things being equal, the swimmer has
a much greater chance to escape. The
water into which the people on the
Eastland were thrown was not cold.
A swimmer could easily make sure in
it, as many did. Usually in such &C
cidents that is the case. What pity,
then, that more people cannot swim!
Why can they not swim? That is
easily answered. They have no /ade-
quate opportunity to learn. True,
there are swimming pools all over a
big city, but they are comparatively
new. The popularity of bathing has
only arisen in St. Louis with the
opening of public pools like that in
Fairgrounds Park. It's growth will
depend upon the increase of the op-
portunity. People cannot be kept
out of the water if the water is made
safe. 1t is safe at the public pools.
Life savers are on guard and drown
ings are<unknown. The next genera
ton will not be as helpless in the
water as this one is. Thanks to the
increasing opportunities to learn how
to swim, people thrown into the, wa
ter will not be out of their element
to such degree. Many Of those who
can swim will get out, and they will
pull out others.-St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.

Medicine in War;

The London Lancet finds reason
able cause for encouragement to
Great Britain in the medical situation
at the end of the first year of the
war, says the New York Sun. There
have been no great epidemics and the
only critical health situation-the
crisis in Serbia-was met and han
died successfully.
''The story of Serbia is a triumph
of preventive medicine says the
Lancet, "and the United States and
Great Britain between them may lay
claim to the credit that here accrues
to scientific medicine. There was a
time when the Serbians, who had
valiantly beaten off huge crowds of
invaders, looked likely to perish en-
masse from disease, and the stories
of the epidemics of typhus at the be-
ginning of last winter, terrible as
they were, are now known to have by
no means exaggerated the real plight
American generosity, the British Red
Cross society and the Order of: st.
John of Jerusalem, and private chari-
ty alike, came to the rescue; hospl-
tails were run up, the sick segregated
and treated, crusades of cleanliness
were inaugurated and, with some
thing of the same ripidity with which
disease got a grip on the country,
that grip was made to relax.
The Lancet says that medically
Russia does not suffer, except from
her ':unmanageable geography,
which equally handicaps the handling
of troops and war supplies. There is
praise for the thorotghness and COM
petence of German hapdling of the
sick and wounded. ..

 The surest way to clear the skin of these eruptions, says noted author lty, is to get from any pharmacy. about four ounces of lad Salts and take tablespoonful in glass of hot water each morning before breakfast for one week This will prevent the formation of toxins in the bowels. 1t also stimulates the kidneys to normal activity, thus coaxing them to filter the blood of impurities and clearing the skin of pimples.

TEN BILLION DOLLARS
 FARM PRODUCTS 1914
All Records for Combined Value
 of Products EClpsed.

Washington, D. C.. Jan. 1.--Ameri- can farms during 1914 eclipsed all records for combined value of their products. with a total of almost ten billion dollars.
 Secretary Houston of the depart nent of agriculture announced that the value of all farm crops, farm am imal products and farm animals sold and slaughtered aggregated $9,s72.- 936,0O That was $S3,00O,O0O more than the grand total for 1913, the previous record year, and more than double the value of all farm products in 1899.
 Crops this year were valued at $6,- 044, ,480,0O0 and the estimated total value of the animal products and Of the farm animals sold and slaughter ed was $3,S28,456 ,0OO. The value of crop production this year was slightly less than in 1913, on account of the reduced value of the cotton crop brought about principally from the European war. The corn and wheat crops, however, were the most valu- able ever produced in the United States, bringing the years crop value total to only $SS,279,OOO less than the total for last year, despite the loss of more than s3o0,OOO,OOO on the value of the cotton crop.
 The estimated value of the animal products of the farm in 1914," said the Agricultural Outlook today, lis distinctly higher than in 1913, which was itself record year in the value of this class of products This is due to general but slight increases in production, except for sheep and swine and in prices, more especially to a small increase in the average farm price of eggs, and to a more considerable increase in the farm price of cattle and calves sold and slaughtered.
 Not Net Wealth. "It must be borne in mind that the amounts of these estimates do not stand for net wealth produced, nor for cash received. nor for profit, nor for income in any sense. Each prod- uct is valued, as in the census when it reached commercial form, and the grand aggregate of all items is to be regarded as an index number, or
 
 absolute point of view" The sales of crops last year were estimated at $2,928,OOO, ,OOO; sales of livestock. s2,919, 9,oOO,O0O; a total of $5,847,OO0,O The estimated value of total sales per farm was $892, and sales per capita of rural population (excluding towns) s139. Principl Farm Crops. =
 
 The value of the principal farm l crops this year was Corn $1,7O2.- 599,000; wheat ss7s s.6SO,OoO; hay, s779, ,O6S,o0o; cotton, s519,616,O0O; oats, $499,431, 900; potatoes, $19s,- 609.000; barley, s105,9O3, ,OOO; to- bacco, s101, 1000: sweet potatoes, s41,294, ,O00; rye, $37,o1s,OO0; sugar beets, $27,95o,00O: rice, s21,S3e,- 900; 1axseed, s19,540,o0O, and buck wheat, $12,S92.0O0. In the production of the above fourteen principal crops this years aggregate was about ten per cent larger than in 1913 and six per cent smaller than in 1912, which year stands as one of the greatest aggre- gate production in the United States.

LoEB.-Lo and behold man by
the name of Jacob Loeb suddenly
jumped out from a primeval forest
and attempts to impose his own saw
age philosophy of life upon a grow

His efforts will prove vain and futile,
for he is not shrewd enough to fool
the men and women Of his day and
generation.

attempt to push the ocean back with
his feet as to try to stem the, tide of
progress.
His first performance was to stifle
free speech and free assemblage and
make the Hebrew institute a mere
tool of the capitalist class.
Having failed miserably and igno-
miniously in his first attempt to go
back to the cave-dwelling epoch, he
is now trying to further enslave the
school teachers and ultimately to
gain the main purpose of enslaving
the minds of the wage earners' chill
dren.
For if he were successful in dis.
rupting the teachers union he and

vile tool would succeed in getting the
teachers to put slayish ideas into the

EASTERN MEN.-Why expect that
the men of New York will give wom4

Where women are plentiful men have
the big head. Each man of the east,
where women are held down and re4
fused equal rights, should be beat up
by a big prizefghter until the devil
is knocked out and the swelling in
the head goes down. T
Eastern men are close to Europe,
where all women are slaves, just like
dogs and cattle. These dried-up,
sickly shrimps in our eastern cities
who call themselves men are frauds.
They are the imitation of the real
thing. Compared to a red-blooded
westerner who says his sisters shall
vote, the eastern men look like walk
ing tombstones living back among
their ancestors, instead of modern,
progressive, 20th century times.
No, woman of the east. Sick bod
les have sick minds. Hope nothing
from your brothers there who know
no better and are too thick-skinned
to learn. Come west among real big
brothers, who will give you a square
deal. Why fool away your time on
spoiled children who are trying to
pawn themselves off as men? 81
They will not give you the vote be-
cause they still believe in slavery. The
sex of their dear mothers has no
chance there to be anything but
faithful dogs. Are we western men

wants to know how the educational
dollar is being spent. That state
like this, has for years expended
large appropriations almost solely uu
der the auspices of the educators
Through the board Of regents plan
it has had a closer check on eXEendi
lures than in this state and the Min
nesota legislature has been most gen
erous toward the university
The charges are summarized as fol
lows: .. .s
Extravaganza and waste yb-
tains in all departments.
Appropriations have been re:k-
lessly used in the purchase Of III
necessary equipment.
Officers. professors and in
s%tructors have f%1agrantly neglect.
ed their duties for outside nusi-
ness and are using their nniversi.

loaned money belonging to the
university fund to aid private in

have been embezzled and no res
