THE DA Y OF LAW ENFORCEMENT
Several more or less significant things have been happening in thi3 state without great attention bein paid to them. The action of the Supreme Court In upholding the Beardsley law, making it illegal to buy liquor except from a retailer, the concerted action of the brewers of the state to uphold the Beardsley law, as interpreted by the court, are more than common incidents. The announcement of the breweries through their organizations that they will not attempt to evade the law is to be taken fairly, and believed. It Is the part of wisdom for them to step
Into the line of law enforcement. For, In our opinion, the recent wave of anti-liquor legislation in this state was due primarily to the lack of law enforcement and the evasion of existing statutes concerning liquor selling. The only way for liquor dealers particularly the breweries, to stop the present agitation, is by such action as they appear to be taking to Insist on law enforcement. It is rather easy to prove that, in those communities where liquor selling; has been conducted without law evasion the sentiment in regard to liquor selling has been decidedly in favor of the well regulated saloon. In Wayne county this is conspicuously true. It is only when the people are disgusted with political tampering with elections by the saloons In order that the laws may be evaded that there Is a universal Bentiment for the abolition of saloons. It Is more the part of wisdom to encourage a healthy condition of law enforcement than to be hysterical in demanding too stringent legislation. If the laws become too hysterical they will. In time, defeat the very end that, their framers aimed at and the reaction Is not good to contemplate. Under the present situation the tendency seems to be to encourage law enforcement, which is far more desirable than rlolent, but unenforced laws. The latter will defeat law enforcement and force the brewer Into a violent participation in politics, which will eventu
ally be more unwholesome than the
present attitude of retirement.

Hems Gathered in From Far and Near
World Not Ready to Disarm. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer., If all the men of the nations were to refuse to become soldiers, there would be peace. Count Tolstoy advocates this. It is a pleasing proposition, though it savors of disregard of government and tradition and all established . things. It is difficult to think of all the nations without armies. How about the Negritos in the Philippines, and the scimitered subjects of the Sultan of Sulu? How about Russia's own wild Tehulstchi and Gilyaks and Yukaghirs? How about Great Britain's burden of Zulus and Bushmen? And the head-hunting Dyaks of Borneo? And Mexico's Yaquis? Would each and all of these peoples agree to lay aside the spear and scalping knife, and turn to agriculture and literature. Peace is most desirable. If all Russians were to refuse to become soldiers it would theoretically be a good thing. If all Englishmen and Frenchmen, if all Servians and Bulgarians were to follow suit, how like the millenium it would be! But, unfortunately, all the world is not ready. A goodly share of the world still lik s to kill its brother man, and, the brother man (he of Europe and America) must be prepared yet for a time to keep himself from getting too promiscuously killed.
Secretary Meyer's Reforms. From the New York Times. The Secretary of the Navy is, first of all, a business man of experience and sound judgment. In the Post Office Department he gave proof of the possession of those qualities. There some reforms and changes that he had planned encountered obstacles obstacles of a political nature. Not much has been, said about them, but they were so formidable that it is understood that Mr. Meyer willingly exchanged the Postmaster Generalship for the navy portfolio. In that department there .was an opportunity, and
he was the man for it. The country has heard much of the astonishing bureau system, of the division and comminution of authority and responsibil
ity of the jealousies of line and staff,
and of the confusion inevitably resulting from a false and unworkable meth
od of administration. Out of this
chaos Mr. Meyer, after months of diligent study and conference has brought
the beginning of order. That will be
recognized as the foundation, the pri
mary quality of the system he has now established.
A MEDAL OF HONOR
The Congress from time to time gives to the officers and enlisted men of the forces of the land and sea a Medal of Honor for their distinguished services of gallantry. There are about 4 of these medals in existence. The
medal corresponds to the, Victoria Cross of which the Englishman is so
proud. Every man who wears the
V. C, Is set apart from his fellows and
is recognized In other ways than by the pinning of the medal on him.
John King, an ordinary seaman, has
just won his second medal. His latest
exploit was to rush into a flaming engine room, filled with smoke, steam
and explosive gas, turn on the fans so
as to send the flames in the opposite
direction from the body of the ship He also filled the boilers with water
let off the steam and so prevented an
explosion which would have wrecked
the ship. incidentally, ne saved a man by dragging him out of the engine room, and was only prevented from going back into the fiery depths
ly a superior who saw that he was horribly burned. Even then ,the or
dinary water tender, John King, had
to be forcibly detained.
King saved the Salem from destructionJust as he had previously won his
medal in a similar incident on th VIcksburg.
Congress voted him the medal and
one hundred dollars. He is still
water tended. Of course, if John King keeps on. he may win several more medals and as many hundred dollars. If he were an officer with a oommjsg'.cn, it is probable that he
The Aero Meet.
From the Boston Transcript.
It is announced that the flying fev
er, which during the present year has reached its most acute stage in Europe, will the coming season cross the water to this country, and that no attempt to quarantine it will be made. The Aero Club proposes to have a
month's flying meet in some city, with those of a week's duration in other cities, and for the big event the bidding has been brisk, with the odds in
favor of the west. Philadelphia offers $100,000 for the honor, and Baltimore and Washington are each will
ing to put up an equal amount. Oak
land, Cal., and Portland, Ore., raise
that sum by $50,000, and St. Louis
pledges herself to a guarantee fund of
a quarter of a million. New York and
Boston do not seem to be anxious to get the main event, but perhaps they will. St. Louis has already taken a prominent place in aviation, and its comparatively central location commends it.
Leaves Golden Trail in Detroit
Chicago Man Astounds Chambermaids, Bellboys and Barkeepers by Spending Money With Both Hands.
Detroit, Mich., Dec. 3. Scotty, tho
Death Valley magnate, who distribut
ed golden crumbs of comfort about
New York and Chicago, with such a lavish hand In 1905, has a strong second in Henry C. Ostermann, millionaire freight car manufacturer of Chicago and Memphis, who has been treating the bell hops, chambermaids, barkeeps, elevator boys and saloon habit
ues of Detroit to a golden shower of
coin and champagne during the last
two days. Around the corner of the Pontchartrain hotel this morning there are floating stories of $10 tips given by
Ostermann to bell boys on the nigut
shift; of $." bills handed to barkeeps. with instructions to keep the change after all the habitues of the barroom had been provided with a bottle of joy water; of greenbacks of large denominations used as cigar lighters; of thousand dollar bills cashed repeatedly by the car magnate as a necessary accompaniment of his orgy of generosity in Detroit, which is said to have already cost him quite a comfortable little fortune. Ostermann is said to have come zo
)etroit for the express purpose of cele
brating the consummation of a big business deal that has netted him many thousands. He struck town Monday night in company with his friend Thomas Cavanaugh of Chicago, and immediately the golden shower was let loose. Bright and early Tuesday morning Ostermann stepped up to the cashier's desk and shoved a thousand dollar bill through the grating for the cashier to
change. When that flustrated indi
vidual had finally dug up the coin he was tipped a $3 note for his trouble. Last evening the Osterman festival is said to have reached its climax in the Burns hotel.
There were eight men in the bar when Ostermann reached there. HU order was champagne for everybody in the room, and everybody was served with a quart The astonished but delighted barkeeper was given a $o bill and told to keep the change. It was at the Burns that Ostermann Is said to have performed the stunt of burn
ing up a $-JO bill with a grace that has not been equaled since John L. Sullivan used to perform the same feat,
when he was at the zenith of his fame.

AN ITCHING PALM. No Cure for lu Other Forms of Itching Preferable. There is no cure for an itching palm the money kind. Even poslam. the new skin discovery, cannot help it. But when it comes to eczema, the most annoying of itching skin troubles, poslam will stop the itching at once and cure the worst cases In a few days. So with hives, rash, scabies, split toes, piles, and scaly scalp, all of which are different forms of eczema, accompanied by severe Itching and caused by Imperfect digestion and careless diet. Poslam comes in two-dollar jars, but fifty cents worth will answer in curing any of the diseases mentioned. It can be had of any druggist. W. H. Sudhoff makes of specialty of it. That results are immediate will be amply demonstrated overnight by the use of the experimental sample which the Emergency Laboratories. 32 West Twenty-fifth Street, New York City, will send free by mail, in plain wrapper, to any one who will write for it.

A Curo Not Guaranteed. Toothache, that scourge of our common humanity, has many "cures." The following remedy, however, would appear to be worse than the disease. It is to be found in "Choice and Experimental Receipts In Physlck and Chirurgery, as also Cordial and Distilled Waters and Spirits, Perfumes and Other Curiosities. a volume compiled by Sir Kenelm Dlgby and published in 1668: "With an iron nail raise and cut the gum from about the teeth till it bleed and that some of all the blood stick upon the nail; then drive it Into a wooden beam up to the bead. After this is done you shall never have the tooth-ach in all your life." This la described as "a sympathetic cure for tha tooth-ach.'

Trusts Must Submit. From N. Y. Journal of Commerce. There is no doubt that modern industrial development tends irresistibly to large corporate organizations and to affiliations which will reduce the friction of competition where powerful interests are liable to come " into conflict with destrictive effect. But the working of such a system cannot be safely left to the will of those who devise and direct its operation. It must be subject to regulation, to requirements and prohibitions of law at once effective and enforceable. The adjustment of regulation has not kept pace with the development, and they must somehow be brought into har-
SPITTING NUISANCE Hawking and Spitting Is Caused by Catarrh Germs. If the local authorities want to stop the disgusting habit of spitting mucous on the sidewalks, they had better instruct the people as to the best method of killing the catarrh germs and curing catarrh. You can easily tell by reading the symptoms below whether you have catarrh or not: Offensive breath, frequent sneezing, discharge from nose, stoppage of the nose, huskiness of the voice, tickling in throat, droppings in throat, a cough, pain in cest, loss of strength, variable appetite, spasms of coughing, low spirited at times, raising of mucous; difficulty in breathing, loss of vital force. L. H. Fine has a sensible remedy, (money back if it fails for catarrh, called Hyomei. which is a vaporized air so antiseptic that when it is breathed over the inflamed and germinfested membrane, it kills all germ life and cures catarrh. The price, including hard rubber inhaler, is only $1.00, and money back if It doesn't cure. Extra bottles, BO cents. "I have tried almost every catarrh cure on the market without benefit. Have been using Hyomei for one week and feel like a new man already.' Wm. V. Goode, Newark, Ohio, June 21. 10Q9k ,

New York, Dec. 3. The whereabouts of Dr. Frederick A. Cook is no longer a mystery. He hasn't started on a dash to recover the instruments he left with Harry Whitney; he hasn't hiked for another ascent of Mt. McKInley; he isn't on the broad bosom of the deep, bound for Cuba, Naples or Denmark, nor is he in the restful recesses of a lonesome Maine resort. He is up at Billy Muldoon's place, being put through a rigorous course of sprouts, and is reported to be doing well. None of Dr. Cook's friends in New York profess to know where he is, but
he has been at Muldoon's place, a few
miles out of White Plains, ever since
his disappearance last week, and will
take the full course of four weeks there, although the Arctic Club people
declare he will be at the banquet to Captain B. S. Osbon at the Academy of
Music next Thursday night. Muldoon Is Silent.
"Billy" Muldoon is admitting noth
ing. He said there was no "Dr. Cook' at his place, but added: "He may be here under anothe: name. I do not require that my pa
trons give me correct names. Anything they tell me is good enough for
me. I call them whatever they wish.
Dr. Cook has been seen by several persons on the roads, afoot and atop a horse. He didn't seem to be enjoying himself. He was allowed to walk to his new retreat from the station,
and then put to bed without any din
ner. In the afternoon he went to the gymnasium and was introduced to th' medicine ball, which he didn't find as

Sour Cream Fudge." delicious candy is made with sour cream. The cream should be just loppered and should not have stood long enough to become bitter. Mix a cupful of it with three cupfuls of brown sugar. Cook it ou the stove until it forms a grain when a little is stirred in a saucer. Then add butter the size of a walnut and half a pound of chopped nuts. Walnuts or almonds may be used or even peanuts. The walnuts are the best for the purpose. Let the candy, or fudge, for this is practically what it is, cool a few moments and then begin to beat it. When It begins to grow thick pour It into buttered pans and cut into squares when hardened. A few drops of vanilla may be used if liked. New York Tribune.
