The new meat law is now In effect and this fact means a great deal more than any but tie packers and handlers of meat suspect The fact that only such meat products as are duly tagged 'inspected and passed" can be carried as interstate freight by the railroads of the country and the further , fact that this form of tag can be obtained only by those establishments which have obeyed the clean up order and haTe otherwise prepared themselves to pass gor?rnit(!)t inspe-Hci. sfc U.af effective and prompt regulation of re n.Mt bniiwM fi anu 'lwy l-as "n possible. About one-eighth of the packers who were notified to re form their plants have not done so, and they will have to dispose of their products in the States where they are located. It ia now the duty of tin various States to discover who are the forty or so packers and if they are merely behind in - their renovation or if they propose to defy the require ments of decency and the law. The significant and memorable thing about the meat-packing reform is the more than remarkable promptitude which has marked it. The whole matter, from first agitation up to yesterday, when the law went into effect, has oc cupied but a few months. The law is a monument to the efficiency and celer ity with which American public opin ion moves toward legal enactment, when ably and earnestly directed. ! MOTHER'S INLUENCE. The mayor of Akron, Ohio, is asking the mothers to join him in a crusade against the "mashers" who are said to be particularly troublesome on the streets of that city, and his proposition is a novel one. He does not want the mothers to go out and give the mash ers a drubbing, but he urges that they can help materially by keeping a more strict restraining hand on their girls. Mashers find encouragement in their occupation by the willingness of too many girls to engage in flirtations on the streets, and the mayor suggests that the mothers administer a spank ing to their daughters who persist in going uwwniown at night seeking ad venture. Many mothers, it is reported, have consented to comply with his re quest. The expediency op probable effective ness of such a method of correction may well be doubted. Girls who are old enough to flirt are beyond the spanking period, and with the average girl corporal punishment is more likely to work harm than good. It is unfor tunate for the mothers and the daugh ters when proper maternal influence is not strong enough to control without a suggestion of physical punishment. There is unquestionably truth in the assertion of the mayor of Akron that girls are themselves responsible for a large amount of "mashing" that is done not only there, but in every city. Very seldom will a girl conducting herself modestly be annoyed oi insulted on the streets. Spokesman Review. ''V 0 A SUICIDE. There are many things to disprove the notion that a life of sordid repres sion of humane feelings can go on to an unperturbed end. Suicide, from one cause or another immediately, may be an instance of the ultimate revolt of emotion denied their normal exercise. The lmines in which Al Adams amassed the wealth that failed to make old age tolerable to him was one no body could possibly follow if he had the ordinary sentiment of pity for the poor. Ft hira the vice of gambling, whk-h makes poverty frightful and hopeless, was something . not to be checked, but to be encouraged for his own profit It was reported' he said his business was as legitimate as that of toe grocer or the butcher. Only greed triumphant over every helpful instinct could lead him to express that view. His occupation was such that his in come w. in direct proportion to the prevalence of misery, vice and crime among the poor, "W hla perverted feelings claimed the right to control his action at last, it was in a wild or maudlin moment, which resulted in stretching out hie self -mutilated body, dead. Forfeiture of his own life was the logical outcome of abnormal con tempt for the Uvea of others, and of career inspired only x by avarice Brooklyn Union. DOES, OR PREACHES. If the present New York campaign shall teach nothing ele, it certainly should impress upon the wide awake citizen and voter the world wide things and the man who merely finds fault because things are not done. It is the ever-brilliant Bernard Shaw, who sums up this difference in his pithy, "He who can, does: he who cannot, preaches." It matters not whether one preaches from the pulpit, in his daily utterances, or in a string of papers. The point to determine is, does a man who asks for your faith in bis power to achieve do so on the strength of mere words, mere rhetorical flourishes, the blare of type and the blatancy of sounding phrases, or does he point to a record of achievement as a public servant! Have his words been essen tial to or started any movement for reform or human weal, for better pol itics or institutions? What has he done to. make life bettep worth living for others as well as himself t Ex. Organization Is the Trend Of the Time By R.v. Dr. LYMAN ABBOTT -r,"-"r-iiE f I CUBAN AND UNITED STATES. The erowinir commerce of the Unit ed States with Cuba is ahown by the statistics for the fiscal year 1908. which ended June 30. The increase in ship ments to Cuba, while visible in many articles, occurs chiefly in the manufac ture of iron and steel, of which the total exports to the island were $0, 879,649, against $0,164,908 in 1905. The total American exports to Cuba aggre gated $47,763,688 last year. This was 25 per- cent greater than 1905, 75 per eent greater than in 1904. and about 120 per cent greater than in 1903. The imports from the island fjU slightly below those of 1905 due to the fall in the price of sugar. Of the five articles forming the bulk of American imports from Cuba, sugar amounted in value to $60,000,000, tobacco $13,500.00, ci gars and cigarettes $4,000,000, iron ore $2,000,000 and bananas, $1,000,000.

The Democratic party is in 1 the hands of radicals who are sweeping it into socialism. z r -t S CZ3T HE ago of competition all around is giving place to tho ag 1 of COOPERATION AND COMBINATION. It it , vain for men to try to prevent people from organizing. The whole trend, sweep and current of our time ia toward organization. It is a movement ever forward, upward and toward a larger, better AND NOBLER LIFE. So it ia in religion, for religion ia not a mere relation between the individual soul and ita God. It also ia a relation of man to hw fellow man, and we are moving not toward a church united by a common owed, but toward a church animated by A COMMON DOMINATING PURPOSE. In the future all these denomination whieh canw together through their representatives at tho Mohonk peaot conference will U united by no common sot of formulated beliefs, but by a common spirit and a common aim. For the spirit of the twentieth century is the recog nition of the brotherhood in religion, BROTHERHOOD IN IN DUSTRY and brotherhood in polities. , , The nineteenth century has been an age of energy and enterprise surpassing in these respects all other ages, but it has had ita vices, and some of these still are among us. The first vico of our American life is our ambition to accumulate, to struggle each man only for himself and his own and then to measure his place in tho world by his SUC CESS IN ACCUMULATING. Our second vico is tho lawlessness of elf will the putting of self will abovo tho low, which is tho will of the community. And the third is tho false standard. I am not con demning men, romember, bocauso they have amassed fortunes. I am not attacking multimillionaires. It h better to bo a multimillionaire than to wish you were one AND NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET THERE. Tho evil of tho multimiIlio:iairo is tho concen tration of wealth with a sordid aim and a FALSE STANDARD. The remedy for the ambition to accumulate, for tho self will and the false standard is recognition of tho fact that society is not a mob of individuals struggling ono with another, each caring only for him self and his family, to see what he can got out of the common pile, but an organism, a personality, in which every mnn is to servo every other man, in which the common interest is to be the supremo object of every one's endeavor. There must bo recognition of the commonalty of the nation, the personality of the nation, and every citizen, instead 0? Toting and working for his own interest alone, must put forth his energy FOR THE NATIONAL WELFARE. Such, men we have that belong to no party. You mar not agree with their policy. Yon may criticise their party. Their temperament may not be favored by you. YET YOU CANNOT BUT BELIEVE THAT SUCH MEN ARE .REC OGNIZING THAT THERE 13 SOMETHING ELSE TO BE DONE IN THE 8TATE THAN TO MAKE THE GOVERNMENT SU8SERVIENT TO INDIVIDUAL INTEREST OR A PROTECTORATE OVER INDIVID UAL INTEREST. THAT MILWAUKEE SOAD. NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The report from Milwaukee yesterday, that the stockholders of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad had authorized the directors to issue $75,000,000 'new preferred and $75,000,000 additional common ttock caused little surprise in Wall street, which accepts the report as true. Chairman Roswell Miller of the St Paul board declined to discuss the subject. The general belief is that the new stock will be issued to push ! the Pacific coast extension of the St. Paul to completion. A significant fact is the report that negotiations have been resumed with the Pacific Coast company for the purchase of the val uable terminal facilities at Seattle. The terminals are said to be worth $25, Another big shipment of the San Fraaoiaoo earthquake books have just arrived at the Astorlan office and art randy for subscribers.

H poem for Coday hktkikkkkkk 1 f ON AN INTAGLIO HEAD OF MINERVA f By Thomas Bailey Aldrich "In spite of ourselves," says Admiral Dewey, "we have become a world pow er and have to do a world power's work." If the admiral's promptitude is the rule, no man will be lost in meet ing the requirements, e ' Within ten years, it is prophesied, communication will be opened with the planet Mars. Our neighbor is said to be older than the earth, and may cau tiously answer the first question with "I have nothing to ay." o Mr. Hearst and Mr. Bryan should exchange testimonials. Their candid opinions of each other would add to the interest of the campaign and there is no danger of injuring democratic prospects, now represented by a row of goose eggs. There is nothing that takes away the beautiful, womanly charms like a plod ding, stooped, awkard carriage. There is' absolutely no excuse for that as long as Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea is made.
