UNIONUff)LABEL Man is not safe, his person al destiny is not assured, and the welfare of society Is not secured until he Is temperate from tho choice of his own will: temperate because he does not want liquor, not sim ply because ho cannot get It. Substantial progress in torn peranco must come, can only come, from tho spiritual eman cipation of man's nature which enables reason and conscience to prevail over appetite, and which will bo brought about by all these educational Influen ces that add to the Inner life. Joseph H. Crooker. NEED OF "GOOD" SALOONS. Tho Now York World says of the Subway Tavern, recently opened -is a model saloon in New York City. Is a "good" saloon bettor than a "bad" saloon, or is it worse? This in substance Is the Issue between Bishop Potter and tho critics that have assailed him for participating In the opening of the Subway Tavern. uishop Potter contends that inas much as men always have drunk fer mented and distilled liquors, and aro always likely to. It Is better to have the traffic conducted under condi tions that Involve the least possible degredation and tho greatest possi ble benefit to the consumer. The Bishop's critics Insist that tho drinking of all Intoxicants Is sinful. that the salo of Intoxicants Is the devil's occupation, and that the more respectable the saloon is made super ficially tho more dangerous It be comes to the morals of the communi ty. It la like the old theological con tention that the good deeds of the wicked only Increase tho enormity of their sin. Two such schools of controversy can hardly find a common ground, hut In tho practical experience of life the weight of evidence Inclines to ward Uishop Potter's theory. The police, at any rate, will agree with the bishop, They know that tho criminal product of the "dives" Is vastly In excess of the criminal pro duct of orderly saloons, and this is an argument that counts for some thing In measuring tho moral valu.e of the Subway experiment. People throw up their hands In horror at overy wreck or death deal ing accident, and say that tho country Is getting worse. That men In charge of the transportation lines aro moro careless than formerly, that accidents are happening moro often and more deaths occur from such things than formerly. They forget that tho coun try Is growing, that whero ono train formerly run on some of the Western roads, thero are now 10, whero 100 people formerly traveled in this coun try, 1000 now make regular trips, whero there was but 50,000.000 pop ulation 20 years ago, thero is now SO.000.000 and that as population add activity Increases, risks, accidents, failures anil misfortunes are suro to keep pace. The proportion of mis fortunes Is no greater, in fact, im proved machinery, and Improved methods are constantly reducing tho proportion of accidents and deaths by violence, yet tho greater popula tion brings Its certain accompaniment of risks. The publle Is further re sponsible for tho high speed of trains and the horror of accidents caused by this speed. If tho public were not constantly nagging nt the rail roads for faster time, better connec tions, shorter schedules between the oceans, tho horror of wrecks would be greatly reduced. Ilailroad men do ,not make fast schedules for fun. Thoy make them because the money mad world demands sharper competi tion and greater risk In accomplish ing tho almost impossible tasks of meeting the demand of tho fretful, nagging, feverish, unreasoning, pelf huntlng public. Is thero a more Inspiring thought for tho Westerner than that the idle deserts will soon smile In tho efful gence of cultivation, and that tho idle mountain torrents will bo harnessed for man's uso and comfort? Tho best era in tho West Is now opening to mankind. Not a hint of tho true civ ilization of this magnificent country can now be seen, us compared to what will be, In a decade moro. James 0. Dlalno know Henry O. Davis, tho democratic nominee for tho vice-presidency,, ns a senator from West Virginia, and said of him In "Twenty Years in Congress": "Henry G. Davis, a nativo of Mary land, entered as tho first democratic senator from West Virginia. Ills personal popularity was u largo fac tor In the contest against tho repub licans of his stntc, and he was In stantly regarded by his party as Its most influential leader. Mr. Davis hnd honorably wrought his own way to high station and had been all his life In active affairs as a farmer, a railroad man, n lumberman, an oper ator in coal, and a banker. Ho had been uniformly successful. Ho came to tho senate with tho kind of practical knowledge which schooled him to care and usefulness ns a legislator. He steadily grow in the esteem nnd confidence of both sides of the senate, and when his par ty obtained the majority ho was en trusted with the responsible duty of the chairmanship of the committee on appropriations. No moro pains taking or trustworthy man over hold the place. While firmly adhering to his party, ho was at all times cour teous, and to the business of tho sen ate or In local Intercourse never ob truded partisan views." MURDEROUS WRECKS. MIGHTY GOOD FOR CORN. When you got up In tho morning from your superheated couch With a brain all hot and addled and a tempor full of grouch.

Von Plehve was a Polander by birth and ancestry, and yet ho at tained the zenith of his cruelty by oppressing his own countrymen, in ordering arrests of suspected nihil ists, and in suppressing all freedom of assembly or speech, In order to make himself strong with tho czar. To his ingenious cruelty and narrow ness is also due the lata oppressions of the Finnish people, one of his most barbarous any tyrannical orders be ing that threo Finnish families could not assemble together on any kind of a visit or reunion, without a spec ial permit from the Russian govern or of Finland. His predecessor, Slpl agulnc, was assassinated and It is safe to say that his successor will meet the same fate, if ho follows tho same policy. The feeling 01 the reclamation de partment toward tho booming irriga tion companies of the West, is seen plainly in a recent Interview from Engineer F. H, Newoll, chief of tho department. Mr. Nowoll is watchful of tho Interests of tho government and Is not afraid to condemn a fraud wherever ho sees it arising under tho wing of tho government's operations. Tho supreme selfishness of tho American cannot permit such a broad and munificent plan as government irrigation, for tho benefit of tho Bet tl.er who neods homes, to bo carried on, without fixing tho claws of tho grafter and tho beak of tho schomer Into It, Mr. Nowell says of somo of the Western grnftB now In operation; "Thoro aro Instances today whero Ir rigation sharus aro being sold for land that has absolutely no water Electricity!

Put In gravity, tho force as tho story goes that closed Newton's physical oyo while opening his philo sophical oyo and you have tho great trinity of earth. Through gravity, water falls.
