'Sow a thought and you reap an action. Sow an action and yon reap a habit. Sow a bablt and you reap a character. Bon a character and you reap a destiny " THE COST OF LIVING gon was passed a a club to he held over the gambler's beads wheuever they hecame loo rude and brazen. Did anyone evar hear such balderdash fiom a seemingly sane newspaper? What about the law againet murder? Is it only to be exe cuted when a murderer kills more than his allowance? Does (hat la against stealing brrses mean that stealing is respectable within certain limits? The same logic applies to all these laws Such rot as that preached by the Herald breeds a disregard for all law. It makes anarchists. Bad laws should bo enforced un til iney are repealed, it is a traveaty on government and a stigma on legislatures to say that laws were not intended to be enforced. Where will . you draw such a line? How many times can you violate a law be fore it comes into execution! This is a perilous teaching for young men to hear. EaBt Ore gonian . Statisticians and writers en political economy after pains taking researoh and oareful cal culation have reached the con clusion that eaoh individual in the United States, exclusive of luxuries, consumes and uses artioles in a year 1904, valued at wholesale prices in New York the cash value of 197.192. This conclusion is reached by taking the per capita consump tion of each artiole at the whole sale price in New York on July 1, 1004. For instance, the per capita consumption of wheat is four and two thirds bushels per year, that of cotlee a pounds, sugar 70 pounds and thus through all the articles that are used by our people. The numerous articles that make up what is generalized as biiug in these calculations are treated under seven heads or classes as follows: 1st. Bread- stuffs, which includes wheat, orn, oats, rye, barley, beans and peas. 2. Meats, which inolude all kinds of flesh, tallow and lard. 3. Dairy an d garden em braces eggs, vegetables, fruit, milk, butter, cheese etc. 4. Other food which includes bah, liquors, condiments, sugar rice, tobacco, etc. 5. Clothing, which includes the raw material out of which clothing is made and the mater ial used in its manufacture, and petrolium. 6. Metals of all kinds used in every day life. Miscellaneous which includes lumber, building material, fer tilizers, drugs etc. On July 1, 1904, the wholesale value of sufficient bread stuff to last one person a year was $18.- 244; meats $9,033; dairy and garden $10.(148; other food $10 408; clothing $16.614; metals $15,428 and miscellaneous ar tides $16,919 making the total cost at wholesale prices for years consumption of $97,192. in lsou, calculation made on the same btsis and for th same articles made the yearly cost of living for each person in the United States as follows. For bread stuffs $23 6S2 meats $10.' 084, dairy and garden $14,169, other food $8 978, clothing $22,- 094, metals $26,082, miscellan eous $16 572, total lor the year at New York wholesale prices $121,631. From the foregoing figures which are founo in Duu's Re view, a recognized authority on commercial values, shows that it cost $24,439 more to purchase tbe material for a years living in 18C0 than it would on July 1, 1904. It is said that the Japanese language contains not even one swearword Of course, tbe Japs don't need that kind; but what if the Russians were similarly and lingually deprived? China could be much more neutral if it weren't for tbe fact Japan and Russia won't quit sprinkling tacks on her chair. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION. . U. 8. Laud Odko, I (Iramte, Or. Slay 1.
