STRIKE AT THE ROOT. For actual and conclusive results the campaign that has been waged against Wall street methods has not borne much fruit. It is true that glaring faults have been remedied, but that was because they were so apparent it was not hard to overwhelm them with the weight of outraged public opinion. The railroads have been forced to stop the practice of granting rebates; a partial victory was scored against the huge packing interests by the passage of the pure food law; the penitentiary 1b yawning for mi.lionaire bankers who break the law, etc. But the root of all these evils remains untouched and, though it has been shorn of some of its pernicious out-crops as stated above, it is yet in a position to send forth a new and bountiful crop as Boon as public opinion resumes its old and accustomed attitude of indifference. We refer to Wall street as the root of all the evils assailing our country and the chief reason Wall street is bo bitter and so insistent in its at- ' tacks on President Roosevelt is because he stirred public opinion out of Its Indifferent attitude and is keeping it awake and on the alert by his splendid efforts to purge the country of that undesirable element, known as millionaire anarchists. President Roosevelt, however, has missed an excellent opportunty to destroy Wall street's corrupting influence once and for all time. The root of Wall street's strength lies in the New York Stock exchange and is kept alive wholly by the gigantic gambling game that is allowed free rein there. Destroy the gambling operations allowed on this stock exchange and you destroy all the illigitimate profits of Wall street's speculators. And when you destroy the profits you also take

away the one incentive that makes a man forget his honor and his duty to his fellow man and stoop to the tactics of a low down sneak thief. It is not necessary to prohibit legitimate Stock exchange transactions. It is right and proper that there shall be places where stocks and bonds may be bought and sold. But cut out the marginal transactions, make It a crime punishable by a penitentiary sentence for a man to go "short" on the market; in other words entirely eliminato the gambling features of the exchange and the power of the Morgans, Rockefellers, Rogers' and Harrimans, etc., will be gone forever. And with their power gone it will not be difficult to eliminate their baleful influence from

the corporations and railroads of

our country and take these grat interebts out of politics. They are only

In oplitics in order to control the government and through that make sure their present system of wholesale defrauding of the people will not stop. They debauch our state legislatures, dictate whom we shall have for senators and, with few exceptions, make our national representatives do their bidding. Until this can all be stopped, until the power to repeat such things is entirely gone, this country can not lay claim to being the only and original free land on earth. But if our citizens will demand that Wall street roust go that is. the gambling features of Wall street then we have nothing farther to fear from that source. Corporations and railroads wnl then be run in the interests of their stockholders and not in the Interests of a gang of financial systers in order to "bull" or "bear" the market

By Mrs. John A. Logan. Washington, Feb. 22. Temperance is having its inning in this country at last. If anyone doubts, this, they should talk with the senators and congressmen now in Washington. Developments in the South, which has not yet recovered from surprise at the victory of this splendid movement,

have caused the law-makers of all states to look into the future. They sniff from afar a battle between the advocates of prohibition and the liquor interests. I talked with a senator from a Western state it is not so very far wefet either recently. Ho did not have much to say about the temperance movement, but what he did say meant volume s.

"The people out my way are talking temperance and arguing the advantages of prohibition," he said. "When the people begin to talk of a movement, I have always found, it means that it is already powerful." This western senator is only one of the solons who keep their fingers on the pulse of their constituents opinions. Expressions are heard every day that, while not quite so diplomatic, are emphatic and convincing that the country is interested in the liquor problem.

The mothers are doing it, said a congressman. "Tho mothers have learned the lesson from experience. They have suffered and they are pointing out to their sons the cause of their sufferings. "The arguments of the prohibitionists convince none so quickly as these. Not alone the South is feeling the fire

WANTS TO PROTECT FEDERAL RIGHTS

Townsend Introduces a Bill in The House.

Their tactics in appealing to legislative bodies have been productive of great results. In the legislative bodies of every state, bills have been introduced on the subject of temperance which have caused the passage of laws authorizing high licenses and various restraints upon the liquor traffic, and, these have been adopted from time to time by municipal organizations. In many cases, absolute prohibition prevails and, while the friends of the liquor venders are in the habit of saying that in the state of Maine, where prohibition has long prevailed, there was more liquor consumed than in

the states where the prohibition was not In force, results have proven that these claims are not well-founded. Many times the claim that the liquor license produces a larger revenue for local improvements of the highways, etc., causes the people to yield to the evil, when as a matter of fact, they are morally opposed to the liquor trade. In the end they reap the direful consequences by filling their jails and alms-houses with the families of the victims of the alcohol habit. Naturally, persons engaged in the sale of liquor are very industrious in the dissemination of their merchandise and utilize every remark that is made which in any way favors their unholy vocations. The most significant result of this continuous warfare haa recently been manifested in the South. The men of the Southern States becoming alarmed at demoralization and degeneration of all classes through the rapid increase of the consumption of alcoholic drinks have taken hold of the matter and some very strenuous prohibition laws have been passed, espec-

rlver was by freely distributing liquor among the negroes. When under its influence they would go into the water almost to the drowning point and work until they were overcome. Liquor and tobacco have undoubtedly been the curse of America, and it behooves all law-abiding citizens who are interested In the welfare of the nation to supplement the work of the advocates of temperance with all the power they possess.

ially by the legislatures of Georgia

It is spreading throughout ; and Alabama,

the nation. The example set by the Southern states has convinced the people of other states that something is wrong when liquor is indiscriminately sold. People want little else than an example and a reason. The rest they do themselves.'

That women were the primary movers in the temperance crusade, there is no disputing. They have labored so long and so faithfully in the cause that they have at last interested men to a much greater extent than formerly.

Mississippi has not yet come into

line, but doubtless it is only a question of but a brief time when she will be in the lists of prohibition Southern states. The large colored population of these states makes it very necessary for them to suppress the drink habit as many of the ignorant negroes are addicted to intemperance. It has been said that in times of overflows of the Mississippi river the only way the levees could be strengthened and protection given to the cities, towns and country on the shoros of the

In Germany the temperance clement of that great empire has taken hold of the matter In an earnest way and is now petitioning for the segregation of intoxicated people on passenger trains. The most important steps, however, are those taken by tho Prussian minister of justice, who has inaugurated a movement for the abolition of "compulsory" beer drinking among university students. The excessive use of beer and alcohol is doubtless responsible for the duels and barbarous sword practices which are universal among the students of Germany. It has often excited disgust to see officers and scholars of Germany with their faces full of scars and disfigurements from cuts received In duelling while students. While this movement in the Kaiser's empire should result in a general suppression of the use of beer by the pop

ulation 01 uermany, it would be a

blessing to those splendid people.

Sweden probably leads in fortuitious results in this line through her famous Gottenburg .system of controlling the

NOT ENOUGH OF THEM. Miss Blanche Bates, the actress, in the course of a luncheon that she gave ut Sherry's in New York, to her s.ster artist, Mrs. Geraldine Farrar, said a witty thing about marriage. "In heaven, wo are told," she remarked, "there Is no marriage nor giving in marriage." .

She smiled and added: "No wonder: when there are not men enough even here to go round." Philadelphia Record.

ONE FELL SWOOP. "Have you got any of those preparations for removing superfluous hair?" asks the man who enters the drug store with a firm tread and a set countenance. "Yes, sir,' answers the druggist. "Give me a pint, I want to use it on myhead." "But, man, you havn't got any superfluous hair on you head. You're nearly bald now." "I know it. And I've gat so aggravated and tired watching the confounded hair leaking off day by day,

The Empress of China has also been actively interested in the movement for the abolition of the xpiuni trade, the baneful use of which is as disastrous to the people of China as the excessive use of alcoholic beverages of other nations. The steady increase of the army of ous reformation which they have wrought argues well for the future of temperance, morality and the higher ambitions of the nations of the earth. To have succeeded in enlisting tho men of the nation in the holy cause of the abolition of whisky and tobacco Is the greatest victory that the women ail the world over have achieved, and they should be encouraged to more stupendous efforts in the future than in the past.
