While a great warehouse was burn

On one night In each year the Lon
don police take a careful census of the
homeless. This year the night selected
was that of January 10th, when the
officers found more than two thousand
persons, of whom nearly two hundred
were women, and twenty-three chil
dren, sleeping outdoors without shel
ter. On the same night nearly twenty
two thousand persons were occupants
of common lodging houses of the poor
er type, and about twelve hundred
more were accommodated In the casual
wards of work houses. Prohably many,
if not most, of the thousands who were
homeless on that midwinter night were
undeserving; but, In one view of the
case, that Is another reason why they

Such officials perform Important ser
vices, and should be at no disadvantage
on any account. But whenever that Is
proposed in Congress objection Is made,
and a homily Is heard that we are
aping monarchy and straying off from
the wise and simple ways of the fath
ers. Let us, we are advised, return to
the example of Franklin. As If we
could, unless the period and the cus
toms that went with it could be re
stored. President Taft is not reduced
to a choice of money bags. Men who
possess both brains and means are nu
merous in this country.
Tho historian Buckle to some extent
conveys a false idea when he avers
that the love of money has done more
for the benefit of mankind than any
other human passion save the love of
knowledge. His idea is that to the
love of money we owe all trade and
commerce; the possession of comfort
and luxury ; the knowledge of foreign
nations and manners ; the outlet for
energies which might otherwise be pent
up and wasted; the development of
enterprise, forethought and calcula
tion; the arts of utility, of ornament
and of healing in short, most of the
organization which, lifts us above the
savage state. To say that all this is
due to love of money is rather putting
the cart before the horse. Would it
not be more correct to say that the
love of money Is due to the fact that
money has become the solvent of pow
er and Values? The Invention of a
representative of value by means of
which all exchanges could be made was
one of the greatest of Industrial con
ceptions. Some of the animnls and in

prevision remarkably developed. Id

money, in its various uses, has been
one of the most potent Instruments em
ployed In the rearing of the social fab

that has facilitated the accomplish
ment of such results Is entitled to due
respect; but to say that the love of
money has wrought the grand struc
ture is putting human motives on too
low a plane. Rather let us soy that
prudence, foresight, love of older, am

into three camps on the question of
how much help medical science can
get from mental or spiritual sugges

conservatives against, and then a
large class of mild conservatives, who
are willing to see mental suggestion
gain and keep a place as the hand
muid of medicine, but refuse to have
her masquerading, as queen. There is
assuredly one domain where mental
science has always held wide sway,

To "kiss the place and make it

all passing minor aliments are met

both mother and nurse, and bumps

CHAMPION OF FREE SILVER DEAI
William M. Stewart, formerly Sena

following an operation. Mr. Stewart
was noted while in the Senate as the
champion of free silver and made many
notable speeches In behalf of that
cause. His characterization of the de
monetization of sliver as "the crime of
'73" Is a noted phrase In the financial
history of the country. Mr. Stewart
was born in Lyons, N. T., Aug. 9, 1827.
