Praise for Loeb.
Prom the New York Sun.
The moral support of all good citi
zens of New York is due to Collector
Loeb, if he is In fact beginning a vig
orous effort to uncover the corrupt re
Jations that have existed between one
of the most powerful of the great com
binations of capital known as trusts
and dishonest employes of the United
States in our custom house. The hand
of Justice has already been laid heav
ily upon' the nape of the neck of this
defrauder of the government and cor
rupter of the servants of the people,
the American Sugar Refining com
pany. That concern has been com'
pelled to disgorge a part of the pro
ceeds of its systematic rascality. The
Department cf Justice, if we are not
mistaken, is still - occupied with the
Sugar Trust's affairs.

Interdependence.
From the Detroit News
Crime, drunkenness, each In turn,
has been tracked back to poverty.
Now , the doctors trace tuberculosis
there. . It looks as if an economic
clean-up is needed for the health of
the race. Riches are not aprotection

sumptive seamstress. We are so in
terwoven with each other that the dan
gar of one is quickly communicated
and becomes the danger of all.
Bryan the Boss.
From the Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
Mr. Hisgen, the independence party
candidate for President last year, aa
nounces that he has become a demo,
crat and will affiliate with the demo
cratic party. However, the announce
ment may be a little premature, as
Mr. Bryan has not yet officially passed
on Hisgen's credentials.
Live Language.
From the Galveston News.
Why keep the boy grubbing at the
dead languages when he can read the
base ball column and learn a live one
every day? ,
Sectional Jealousy.
From the Nashville Tennessean.
Nineteen New England college presi
dents condemn cheering at athletic
events. . Nobody ever heard a New
Englander give a real, sure enough
cheer, anyhow.
Still Losing.
From the New York Mail. Report
from the southwest state that Mr. Bry
an recently lost a train while talking
horse. This is the same Mr. Bryan
who thrice lost , the presidency while
talking politics.
Senatorial Hazing.
From the Kansas City Star. The
law against hazing, enacted by con
gress a few years ago. evidently does
not apply to new senators.
No More Privacy There.
From the Cleveland Leader. -Now
watch out for the rush to Nairobi and
Kaplti. The solitude of the jungle
has received its deathblow.
'. Fame.
From the Boston Transcript And
this is fame. Harper's Weekly refers
to the recent presidential candidate
the independence party as "Mr. Higs
bee."
Back to Prosperity. v
From the Springfield Republican.
Not only are the independent steel
cofpanies to restore wages, but those
railroads which reduced the pay of the
salaries class of employes following
the panic of 1907 are anouncing a re
turn to the old compensation. The
Boston and Maine is the latest
make known such a step. It means
that in the opinion of these men of
large affairs prosperity has returned

"Why don't you reprove your titled

Because," answered Mr. . Cumrox
- "it's had enough to see him wasting
money1 without wasting my time.
The Last Day of May
"Under the wile and starry sky.
Dig the grave and let me lie. ,
'Glad did I live, and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will."
-And so they went out, those young fellows. They went out with the
band playing and the new flag. They were all of them husky, all of them
full of blood and reckless deviltry. Some were filled with high purposes; ,
some with the spirit of adventure; but they were the best of the land
they went out to pave the Union.
The bands played. Girls looke 1 proudly at their sweethearts in the
new uniforms. Some few veterans of the Mexican war looked wistful.
The mothers cried when they thought no one could see them. And the
fathers were silent.
And where are they now?
Some are on southern battle fields six feet or less under earth
without a headstone and without a name. Some are in tie large green
cemeteries of the nation row after row of them. The place is very still
and the head stones with their numbers are very white. Others in some
little country church yard with the iron marker of the G. A. R. just
sticking out of the grass and weeds.
As for the rest of them who d jcs not fee! a little thrill when he
sees the bronze button of the Granl Army of the Republic or the rosette
of the Loyal Legion? We all know them. And what tales they tell.
And tomorrow, those who are 1 ft of the blue battalions wliich march
ed so proudly out, in the sixties go out with hearts as brave to a coming
fate as they did when they were young.
No more the days of scanty ra ions and scurvy no more the ma
laria of the swamps; no more the d.ys of Chickamauga and the Wilder
ness the days of Lee and Grant.
"We traveled in the pr nt of olden wars;
Yet all the land was green.
And love we found and peace
Where fire and war had been.
They smile and pass, the children of the. sword
-No more the sword they wield;
And O, how deep the corn,
Along the battle field."
Some years ago there was a state encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic in this town. The ranks were still brave and strong,
albeit a bit straggling. And as rank after rank of men with gray hair
and determined eyes marched past what a cheer there was and what a
fluttering of waving of handkerchiefs! What a queer sensation was that
quiver, and what was that upon the-cheek? Surely not a tear.
On such a day the heart beats freer and faster, warmer impulses
take the place of the shop worn things we call our consciences. It is a
spiritual regeneration a call to all there is of worth in the younger
generation such is Memorial Day.
The battles of this country are not yet over there is as great a
struggle here at hand though never a gun be fired as real a danger to
the republic as the time when every thing threatened the very life of the
country.
There is as great a call to citizenship today as ever there was in
sixty-one. Today vast organizations which take no heed of the individu
al, or the law, or the country are seeking to have their will. The sal
vation of the country is not in arms but common honesty. That is the
war which the next generation and this one, will have to fight to save
the country from a gradual but sure decline.
The flower3 will soon wilt on the graves in the cemetery.
The country will pause and then go on.
How many will remember the real lesson of the war for the preser
vation of the Union? '
For those are the heroes of the last generation who only did the
duty of the day. "

LITERARY WORLD
THE HOME A8 A SCHOOL OF GOOD
MANNERS.
Not long ago I visited a home where
such exceptionally good breeding pre
vailed and such fine manners were
practiced by all members of the family
that it made a great impression upon
me.
This home is the most remarkable
school of good manners, refinement
and culture generally I have ever been
in. The parents are bringing up their
children to practice their best man
ners on all occasions. They do not
know what company manners mean.
The boys have been taught to treat
their sisters with as much deference as
though they were stranger guests. The
politeness, courtesy and consideration
which the members of this family
show toward one another arc most re
freshing and beautiful. Coarseness,
gruffness, lack of delicacy find no
place there.
Both boys and girls have been train
ed from infancy to make themselves
interesting and to entertain and try
to make others happy.
The entire family make it a rule to
dress before dinner in the evening,
just as tney wouia n special com
pany were expected.
Their table manners are especially
marked. At the table every one is sup
posed to be at his best, not to bring
any grouch, or a long or sad face to it,
but to contribute his best thought, his
wittiest sayings to the conversation.
Every member of he family is expect
ed to do his best to make the meal a
really happy occasion. There is a sort
of rivalry to see who can be the most
entertaining or contribute the spiciest
bits of conversation. There is no in
dication of dyspepsia in this family,
because every one Is trained to laugh
and be happy, and laughter is a fatal
enemy of indigestion.
The etiquette of the table is also
strictly observed. Every member of
the family tries to do just the proper
thing and always to be mindful of oth
ers' rights. Kindness seems to be
practised for the joy of it, not for the
sake of creating a good impression oa
friends or acquaintances. There is in
this home an air of peculiar refinement
which is very charming. The children
are early, taught to greet callers and
guests cordially, heartily, in real
Southern, hospitable fashion, and to
make them feel that they are very wel
come. . They are taught to make ev
ery one feel comfortable and at hope.

The Speed of Automobiles.

One ingenious man has suggested that

pedestrians have already been slain
this spring, and the total for the sea
son is sure to run very high.
The "joy riders" are the chief source
of the trouble chauffeurs who steal
their employers' machines out of hours
and adventure forth eager to "burn up
the pavements." Legislators are
passing measures looking to a more
stringent license system; in some states
a chauffeur who thus "joy rides" may
be arrested for larceny.
It is rather gratifying to find that
the actual owners of cars themselves
are seldom so reckless of the rights of
others. Indeed, these owners banded
in different automobile associations,
are doing all they can, by advice and
active co-operation, to remedy the pres
ent dangerous conditions.
The final remedy, of course, lies in
impressing deeply upon, the minds of
automobilists a strict system of auto
mobile ethics. Adherence to good
sportsmanship in automobiling, as in
other pastimes. will prove the
radical cure. From the View-point in

HUMANITY IS NOBLE.
It, was a sight calculated to warm
the cockles of a man's heart
Twenty men in Chicago caught bold
of a rope tied to an ambulance and
ran more than half a mile in a race
with death.
The ambulance was wrecked in a
crash with a street car, and the horses
were too badly Injured to proceed.
John Mukuns, section band, whose
life these twenty men tried to save,
died just as the Internes of the hos
pital reached the man propelled am
bulance, prepared to take the patient
into the operating room.
Mukuns bad broken an artery in bis
leg and was slowly bleeding to death
in the ambulance, in which be was
being driven to the hospital, when the
vehicle crashed Into a street car. The
horses were injured, and the tongue
of the wagon wss broken.
Volunteers were called for to drag
the ambulance.
A rope was hastily tied In place of
the wagon pole, and. twenty men start
ed on a fast rnn for the hospital, fol
lowed by a fheertng crowd, which
took turns at pulling and pushing.
When the ambulance drew up In
front of the hospital the crowd sadly
realized that the gallant race' with
death was In vin.
The crowd did its best In Its spec
tacular showing of the Inherent hero
ism of humanity.
John Muknne was a laborer.
But the men who tried to save bis
life were men of all businesses and
professions all sorts and conditions
of men united in a common impulse
to save a fellow man.
Ah. but this Is a good old world!
And men are noble. "
But meanness Is ever in evidence,
you say. And cruelty is common.
TJm yes. But
For every act of meanness I can
find you a dozen cases of nobility.
For every act of cruelty there are
scores of Charitable deeds. And for
every criminal there are a thousand
upright men.

MEN AND MARRIAGE.
Marriage puts a man up against the
reality of life.
And makes or mars him.
If be takes up the burden of family
life and carries It 'like a man" it puts
new power Into his life.
Ever see an oriental woman carry a
great jar of water on ber bead? What
power and poise and grace In ber
movements! The burden does It It
makes her figure straight and ber mo
tions supple.
And so of the family load.
He who takes up the support of a
family finds that the doing of It keeps
bim straight and well poised.
Marriage has made a shy man self
reliant, a selfish man generous, an in
dolent man ambitious, a self centered
man self sacrificing.
Marriage Is the acid test.
It puts' responsibility on a man's
shoulders, and responsibility, rightly
assumed, develops character.
Here Is a man who, unmarried, Is'
content to live in comparative comfort
without much exertion. He takes life
easy. He may have gifts, but is with
out ambition. The man marries, and
it begins to dawn on him that Increas
ing demands make a larger Income a
necessity. -The
new demand Is dynamic.
The man bestirs himself. He works
hard. He Increases bis Income. And
in doing so he discovers new powers
In himself. Marriage bas developed
him.
The dependence of a family upon
him wakes up every fiber In a manly
man. He is made stronger in every
way. And
Aside from the financial require
ments, the trials and troubles of fam
ily life bring out In him traits of self
denisl and long suffering and devotion
little suspected.
Especially does the birth of children
In his family draw out and give ex
pression '.to all that Is strongest and
best In a husband and father.
The bachelor Is not so.
He is apt to lira a selfish life. He is
apt to be cold and cautious. He is apt
to be heart calloused by the hardening
and repressing of what Is best in bis
nature.
Moral?
The moral of these observations lies
in the appreciation of them.

Weather Shark Foster Looks
Into Weather That Is Enroute
(Copyrighted 1909. by W. T. Foster.)
Washington. D. C May 29. Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross continent 27 to 31. warm
wave 2S to 30, cool wave 29 to June 2.
The principal features of this disturb
ance were expected to be a great rise
in temperature, warm weather, threat
ening and severe weather with proba
bility of severe storms.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about June 2. cross mine
slope by close of 3. great central val
leys 4 to 6, eistern states T. Warm
wave will cross Pacific slope about
June 2. great central valleys 4. east
ern states 6. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about 5. great ceutral
valleys 7. eastern states 9.
This will be one of the three dan
gerous storm periods of June and as
severe storms cannot now be definite
ly located, the best policy is to be on
the alert, especially in sections where
such 6torms sometimes occur. I ex
pect these storms to be most severe
within a day or two of June 4. I have
the storm center located on June 4
in the great central valleys west of
the Mississippi river, but aa these
storm centers move eastward from 400
to TOO miles a day the exact location
where the dangerous storms will
break cannot now be known.
Temperatures will go very high be
fore this storm center passes and very
low following it. Very cool weather
will drift eastward June 5 to 10. cross
ing meridian 90 about 7 or 8. This
fall in temperature will cause rains as
the high barometer comes in.
Three great storm waves will cross
the continent during the five days of
which June 4. 17 and July 1 will be
central days. Very little harm can
result by so arranging affairs aa to be
on the safe side during the passage of
these severe storms, while much good
may result. Future bulletins will give
details.
I expect temperatures of June to av
erage about normal but they will go
to great extremes as the storm cen
ters cross the continent Rainfall of
the month will be deficient except in
the cotton states east of the Mississip
pi river.

OLD CADIZ.
Ones Richer Than London. Its Chief
Bueineae New Is Salt.
Of Cadix. De Amlcla said. "It Is best

Under the noonday sun, seen from
the lofty Torre de Vlgia, the mediae

city, its buildings are dazsllng and al

long, narrow Isthmus like the stem of
a pipe leads from San Fernando, on the
mainland. Cadiz rests on the bowl of

schaum without coloring, though 3,000
years old.
Americans may Justly regard this
now decadent place with compassion,
because It grew to greatness by its
commerce with the new world while
Spain ruled the Americas and then
fell away into decay on the loss of the
western possessions.
It was great before Borne was found
ed. And as late as 1770 it was wealth
ier than London. Commerce has ever
been its life. Today Its chief busi
ness Is the production of salt for ex
port. This humble staple, evaporated

of the salt is shipped to South Amer

HER GREETING.
In
Spite of the Old Lady's Care She
Managed to Blunder.
The daughters of a certain charming
old lady In Washington are frequently
much upset by the odd social blunders
of their parent whose fallings in this
respect are. however, more than offset
by her kindliness of manner.
Among the callers to the bouse of
this family was a Mrs. Farrell, who,
after some years of widowhood, again
married, this time becoming the wife
of a Mr. Meggs.
"If you love us, mother, said one
of the girls when the newly married
lady's card had been brought in one
afternoon shortly after the completion
of the honeymoon, "don't make the
mistake of calling her Mrs. Fsrre'i.'
. The mother solemnly promise-1 to
commit no faux pas and as she went
downstairs was heard to repeat to
herself. -Meggs Meggs Meggs not
FarrelL"
At the conclusion of the call the old
lady was met at the bead of the stairs
by the daughter, who st once observ
ed an ominous expression of despond
ency on the old lady's face.
"Oh. mother. ahe exclaimed, "surely
you didn't
"No, Clara," replied the mother em
phatically. "I didn't I was so careful
to rail her Mrs. Meggs all the time."
"Well, what's the trouble, then?"
: "Oh, dear!" murmured the kindly old
lady, ss she sank Into a chair. ' "It
was awful of me. X knew! When I
greeted her I said: 'I am glad to see

thirty years' study of these problems
has led me to some conclusions as to
the causes that lie between the first
great cause and the effects or results
that lie closer to us. and during the
coming of Halley's comet, the greatest
ever known. I propose to give through
these bulletins the theories I have
formed as to the mechanical features
of the universe.
I am of opinion that our moon is
the remains of a comet that struck
our earth in prehistoric times. The
evidences of this are so numerous that
a book of considerable size would be
necessary in which to record them.
Scientists are dividing as to whether
our earth has gradually grow a from aa
atom to Us present dimensions and
consequently will grow on forever, be
coming one of the great suns of the
universe; the other side asserting that
It Is now cooling from a molten mass
and when cold, will become dead and
lifeless. I hold to the first proposition.
One scientific class says that the
comets are youthful moons or planets,
that they have grown up in remote
space and are drawn into our solar
system when the latter, always mov
ing into new space, approaches and at
tracts them. I hold to that idea. The
other class says that the comets are
remnants of "exploded planets.
These questions I will discuss in
these weekly bulletins while the mon
ster comet is playing its visit to our
little planet and our solar system next
year.
