THORSTENSON SLOWLY
IMPROVING.

P. ]. Thorstenson of Eagle Lake,
who had the misfortune about two
months ago of severely scalding leg,
is enjoying the beautiful weather at
present by riding around town in a
wheel chair, and talking to his many
friends. He has been staying at the
Bethesda Hospital for about five
weeks. He stepped into a kettle OF
boiling water containing about one
hundred gallons which he was prepar.
ing for sheep dip. The kettle was
placed on side hill and Mr.. Thor
stenson stepped into the kettle before
he knew it. Nearly the entire leg was
immersed in the hot water. Mr.. Thor.
stensOn expects that it will take a
couple of months more before he will
be able to walk.

statistics from every civilized coun.
try in the world show that periods OF
financial depression are almost in.
variably accompanied by increased
crime, suicide and divorce and fol-
lowed by fewer marriages and a de.
clining birth rate.
I'm 1893 there were only S03 more
marriages in the United States than
there were the preceding year, al.
though the five years preceding 1893
showed yearly increase in the mum.
Der of marriages running from 1900
to 26,027; and in 1894, the year after
the panic, the marriages actually de.
creased to the extent of 1852; while
the suicide rate in 1908, the year after
the financial panic of 1907, was ZIG
per 100000 persons, the highest aver.
age ever recorded in this country.
THAT this is popularity known as a
period of prosperity rather than de,
preston does not invalidate@the con.
illusions OF Coroner Feinberg, for in
most cases the cost of living has SO
far outstriped any advances in wages

object. 1t affects the rights and liber-

as 1t does those who deal in liquors,
1t does not apply solely to dry states

seems to us that the passage of the

detriment of "the freedom of the

be very desirable. The bill should not

LET THE CONSTITUTION ALONE

So
Wind TANNER Bryan, elated with
the undeserved success of the Demo
Gratis in the recent national election,
is asking little too much of his party.
In a speech at dinner recently given
in his honor at Washington he urged
the adoption of nationwide prohibi.
ton and woman suffrage which is a
little more than the average Democrat
can stand for. He also advocated
the passage of an amendment for the
election of the President by direct
popular vote and to amend the coli
stitution so as to make that instru-
ment more easily amendable. This
latter suggestion would undoubtedly
meet their hearty approval as the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the constitution have been worm
wood and gall that they would like
very much to get rid of and in their
place put something that would further
outrage and crush the colored people.
We have got to stand the Democratic
administration for the next four years
but we most sincerely hope that after
that this beautiful land of ours will
not be cursed by their domination any
longer. >~--

Of Colorado mine field fame, recently
Her words are true.
Men cheat their employees out oil
what is their just due and become rich
and when they have accumulated mil
lions they pose as "philanthropists
and endeavor to perpetuate thei1
names by giving money for libraries
or charities" or Christian (?) asso

Instead Of being great philanthopists
these men, In many cases, are simply
thieves who really ought to be in
prison for having robbed their fellow
men.
No class has suffered more from the
philanthropies'' Of these rich. thieves
than the colored people and their ne.
larious work has been aided by 50.
called colored leaders who have taken
the role Of public mendicants and have
begged for money to organize jimcrow
institutions and thus prevent their own
class from securing their rights as
American citizens.

ored people with slayish instincts;

"HIGH PRICES AND SUICIDE"

Last week the Associated Press dis
patches told sad case of suicide of
a Chicago mother who determined
that it was cheaper to die than to
live. Her husband was earning $12
per week, but it was not enough. She
wrote note before turning on the
gas that sent her soul to the great
beyond in which she said:
This is what it takes a week-s4
rent, 81 lunch and car fare; that
leaves $6 week for light, fuel, food,
clothing, medicine and incidentals for
husband, children and myself. God
help the poor" 1
This case seemed to be peculiarly
pathetic and according to our obser-
vations indicated a wide spread feel
ing among the poorer class of people.
The same trend of thought seems to
have been INDUCED in by the st. Paul
Pioneer Press, the result of which
was the appearance under the above
caption of the following:
Responsibility for the increasing
number of suicides in New York City
is placed upon the high cost of living
by Israel Feinberg, president of
Gotham's board of coroners. The
coroner also says he traced many
deaths from lack of proper nourish-
ment to the mounting prices of food
stuffs and contends the suicides are
alarming in their increased frequency.
There is no reason to doubt the
statement of Coroner Feinberg, for

~ AN A MAN."

DR.. Frank Crane, with whose writ
ings most of us are quite familiar,
always says something worthy of con.
sideration but recently in his article
under the heading, Il am man." he
showed himself to be much of a man,
for he said, II cannot despise any
human creature because of the acct
dent of his birth or condition"
If he is Chinese, with almond eyes
and strange speech and peculiar ways,
still he is human.
6 II he is Negro, with different skin
and hair from mine, yet he is my
brother"
Il am man, and nothing but man
is alien to me-"
He said q whole lot more to justify
his claim II am q man." but nothing
that was more convincing than what
he said concerning the Negro. Few
men have the courage of their con-
victions equal to Frank Crane.
