A certain magazine, presumably pop nlar, in annoondng a change of man agement, prints a most extraordinary manifesto of its new policy. Its edi tors believe In the vision of promise. They hold that the inspiration of sen timent is highest and that the poetical views will prevail where other meth ods fail ,They are avowedly optimists, defying the fact that optimism, lue pessimism, necessarily is a variation from the troth. Forgetting or ignor ing that the exact estimate only is safe, they hind themselves to a policy of en thusiasm, which means a policy of pre judice. Promising revelations of polit ical corruption, the perils of centraliza tion of capital and other stereotyped themes of the sensational periodical, they announce in the same breath that the impression is superior to the fact. This announcement is in keeping with the methods of the periodicals foremost in all the muck-raking agjtation. Sen timent has been substituted for fact, enthusiasm for consideration. The im pression has been accepted for the truth and poetry printed as statistics. Like Maeauley, the latterday publicist of this school prefers a neatly turned - paragraph in which the truth is dis torted to a dull sentence in which the truth is given. As to irhat their con clusion could be, they themselves seem indifferent Butte Inter-Mountairi GERMAN DOCTRINE. They do not fool themselves in Ger many about the value of an ocean ma rine in promoting an export trade. Ex port, a prominent paper devoted to commercial matters, declare that it is the excellence of the service given by German steamship companies which has enabled Germany to invade all parts of the world with its products. When the Germans know a thing they act upon their knowledge. They reached the conclusion that Great Britain's world power depended on her merchant marine, and they went in for a mer chant marine of their own. We under stand the matter as well as the Ger mans, but have always permitted our selves to be frightened by the word "subsidy." If we had the courage to take the commercial bull by the horns and treat the ocean carrying trade pre cisely as we have other induf-trie, we should soon have as good fleets as any that sail the seas, and the result would be a great augmentation of our ex ports, which already exceed those of any other nation:. S. F. Chronicle. the last century, to b the workshop of the globe, will seem like a silly dwvro of the remote past, Ex. MEAT LABELS NOT ARTICULATE., The federal meat inspection law is now in force. Within a few days the new lalicla will be within the reach of every cltiwn of the United States, The packed goods and the cuts alike must be tabbed, if . used in interstate com merce. How will the state, county and city government forward the reform In regard to meat truffle other than inter state, and how will that court of last appead, the people, go about helping themselves r It will be interesting to leam what ' percentage of buyers, In the coining; months, either read the can labels or ask for the label on the cuts. The labels of themselves are not articulate. They will not cry out, "Come and read met or Tarn an old label and the meat Is not St, so they tuck me up here on the shelf!" Secre tary Wilson merely can tab the meat', the buyer- must protect himself. Ex. 000000000000000090 0 EDITORAL SALAD. O 000000000000000000 Forty year ago the seven great Lon don hospitals spent annually for alco hol $40,000 and $10,000 for snilk. Now the larger sum is spent for milk and the smaller for alcohol. In the infirmary at Salisbury twenty-five years ago, $1,500 a year was spent for alcoholic liquors. In 1905 it was only $35. This is due to greater knowledge of its nature and ', effects. WAS? Electricity Is Still Undeveloped By CHARLES FRANCIS BRUSH, On of the Inventor of Ettctrle ,v, . Lifhtlnf .,'. i ill '..1 I e Did you ever watch the man with nothing to dot Well, he has the hard est job of any one we ever studied. Loafing and idling time away may look good to the man who is putting in ten hours a day for six days out of the week, but let him loaf for a couple of weeks and the chances are that he will be the most unhappy and discon tented man in town. -0 -1 : Is there anything more exasperating than to Jiave somebody who is talking to look over your head, or to one side of yu, all the time he is trying to eon- vey his thought to yout If a man will not look you in the face, while he talks, you may be pretty sure that you will not lose much if you turn your- ears in another direction. LECTMCITY is a wnnnJruiu. Some wipntUt nj it i t modo of motion in tho ether, as h light, for instance Others believe that it is composed of corpuscles or sub- toma, each of these minute particles being ndowed with a definite electric charge INSEPARABLE FROM IT. A third group bold that tho corpuscle is wholly plecU'io and consti tutes a material atom of electricity. So far, however, we hav nothing better than THEORIES. Tho truth itself has not been established. Electricity, like gravity, is one of tho unexplained phenomona of nature. Wbo can define gravity! . . . . Discoveries in electricity will continue. Ten thousand able men are investigating and experimenting in all parts of the world. We may have no important discoveries for ten years. Thatliappona aome times. Then they follow in quick succession and STARTLE MAN KIND. I believe the telephone to be the greatest discovery of the age. We could use steam for power ami gas for lighting, but there is no substitute for the telephone. Radium, a marvelous revelation of one of the secrets of nature, may help to clear up the mysteries which now conceal the truth concerning electricity and gravity and work otber wonders of which we little dr-'am. The inventor's lot is not always a bappy one. In defending my patents at first there was spent from T5,0(H) to $100,000 n year, and I paid half of it out of my own pocket. As it happened we ran right into a most extraordinary period of patent litigation and decisions. Patent rights had been abaraefully abused in all directions. Farmers especially had suffered. A churn agent would come along, to bo fol lowed in 'a 'little while by a man who BLACKMAILED THE FARMER into paying damages for infringement. Accordingly, the judges of the United States courts went to the other extreme, and for ten years, so far as I know, not a single patent was sustained on a trial of the case. THE BRUSH COMPANY GOT INTO THE VERY MIDST OF THIS ORGY OF INJUSTICE, ANQ WE HAD TO FIGHT INFRINGEMENT! EVERY INCH OF THE WAY. ' Almost every town has a character who sprained his back in 1863, or thereabouts. He is physically unable to work, but he can sit all day on a bard box in a livery stable playing checkers while his wife chases underbreeehea up and down the wash board to keep him in smoking tobacco and grub. 1 . - 0 "Ton can't tell a man from Chicago anything." That answer won the $10 prize for the following question, "How can you tell a ChieagoanV The sec ond prize was given to a woman from Goshen, Ind, who said "Whisper canned meat' and "look at his wife's feet!" 0 - An exchange remarks thatj "a St. Louis woman who was sued for pay ment of a costly pair of corsets, will endeavor to prove in court that they did not fit her snugly." St. Louis is in Missouri, you know. 0 ' The school census gives Chicago a population of 1,780,000, whereas the city directory's estimate is 2,300,000. We can't help believing that there is care lessness somewhere in connection with these guesses. 0 New York is the second great seaport in the world. In 1903 over nine million tons of imports and eight million seven hundred thousand tons of exports were cleared through New York harbor. More than 11,000,000 pieces of mail went astray in these United States last year, because they were not directed well enough for the experts to decipher the names and addresses. 0' ' ' Bank Wrecker Stensland dont know so much about it being "Home, 8weet Home." : V 0 Dress well, look prosperous appear cheerful Everyone judges by appear ances. 0 ' '' During the first seven months of this year 701 automobiles have been im ported. 0 Don't think about your troubles work harder and you will forget them.
