In the hearings of saloon keepers before Mayor Shank, Saturday, there was much, said by the mayor and liis superintendent of police to the effect that, though the hands of the patrolmen were tied to greater or less extent during the administration just past, now and lor the next four years the hand of the law is to fall on all saloon keepers alike; the police are to know no favorites, no special brands of beer, and no excuses for Keeping open after legal hours. There was astonishment expressed by the mayor in the case of one Beiser that a policeman should have seen him doing business after 11 o'clock at night and still had not arrested hiin. But it was explained that the policeman was not to blame it was the "system" and the understanding that policemen were not to enforce the law. All this sounds well, but it is well known that the present administration does not intend to close saloons at 11 o'clock. Midnight is the hour decided ou. Why not be frank about it if the police are not expected to enforce all the laws? If the mayor and the superintendent are not frank how are they to expect the policemen to do any better than they did under the previous administration? How is the policeman to know what laws to enforce and what not to enforce? How is either he or the saloon keeper to be taught respect for the law? what the saloon keeper does learn in the course of time is what laws the police have decided he must obey and what laws he may break. It is the wishes or policy of the administration he must learn and not the law. What the policeman learns is which laws lie must enforce and which he may allow to be broken. He must learn which statements of the mayor he must take to heart and which statements he must accept with a mental wink. Why not enforce the law as it stands? That is the simplest way always, and besides it is tight. But if (unlawfully) the city administration is to allow some laws to be regularly broken with impunity, why not state frankly which they are, so that policemen and public alike may understand? The enforcement of the Sunday law is good, and is being ably accomplished, but we do not see that the poor policeman is being helped greatly in his understanding of his duty, aDd we do not see how the saloon keeper who, after all, is entitled to some consideration is to learn, txcept by being arrested, just what is expected of him. Indianapolis News. SOWING AND REAPING. To read the monthly magazines is disheartening work. It is almost impossible to pick up a publication without finding in it some o'er true tale of corruption, treason, negligence or some form of anti-Americanism. North and south. ea;;t and west, the printed record may be followed, because every individual publication is of necessity fragmentary. To obtain a true conception of the national life one would have to read publications from every state of the Union and from every section of every state a task beyond human ability. Enovgh, however, May be gleaned from a pursuit of knowledge that is as far-reaching as possible that probably extends outward in all directions as far as any Individual pursuit may to inspire grave mistrust of the attitude of general apathy which lets the preachers preach and the prophets prophesy in vain. A wrong long practiced, an Injustice long continued, will at. last become a

MILK.

There has been talk, much talk, about the milk situation in Richmond in the last few weeks. The tuberculin test and the dairy Inspector have come in for their share of controversy. If this talk is really for the betterment of conditions and Is not animated by any other considerations, it may well have served a useful purpose in bringing the question before the people. But it is scarcely a matter of controversy that the tuberculin test be applied to herds. This should rather be done in a spirit of conciliation and friendly co-operation rather than by nagging. The tuberculin test should be applied with a minimum of friction and inconvenience. Dairymen, like any other business men will be apt to resent anything which tends to injure their business. We believe that the tuberculin test will eventually help their business. It should be a matter of education not only of dairymen but more particularly of the consumers for It will not avail to supply the town with milk absolutely pure and to have it contaminated by containers of the consumer which are not surgically clean. People are willing to pay more for milk which they know to be safe from every point of view and they will use more of it. These things need scarcely be said. Hero is a splendid business opportunity for dairymen. That this is actually the case, the situation at Hanover, New Hampshire may be inquired info from a business point of view. It has worked for everyone's benefit for miles around that place.

Who shall apply the tuberculin test and how shall it be done with the least friction is really, we take it, a harder question. The Wayne County Medical soc iety wants council to amend the ordinance concerning dairy inspectors. A national inspector has been suggested. We are informed that Dr. Davis, of the health department, is working on lines which he hopes will be for the benefit of all concerned under the provisions of the state law of 1 WK). By this he hopes to have the state veterinarian designate a man to apply the tuberculin test. If it be true that the test is confined to the winter months there Is no reason why this cannot be worked out. If the proper influence is brought to bear by co-operation, the state veterinary will do this. This also has the merit of indemnifying those dairymen whose animals are found not to be diseased. It was once thought that the law indemnified all animals killed, whether diseased or not, but this seems doubtful.

Without claiming to be authorities on the subject of the law, or the tuberculin test, or judges of the appointments made or those made in the future, we do suggest that the present health department be allowed to care for the situation with all the co-operation of citizens, dairymen and the veterinary and medical professions, to say nothing of the newspapers. We assume that they are all trying to attain the same end. If they are not, some one is at fault. The dairymen of this section of the country are fairly Intelligent men, to say the least. The present health department has had some experience and it has a right to follow out its line of endeavor to get a veterinarian appointed by the state authorities which would also safeguard the dairymen. If this cannot be worked out satisfactorily we see no reason why it should be assumed that the health authorities of Richmond will not set out on some other plan.

In the meantime the consumer owes it not only to himself, but to his dairyman, to keep his milk in good condition. There may be all sorts of precautions taken to afford a good supply of milk and butter absolutely sterile from tested herds but put into an open crock which has not been at least scalded and to place it in an ice box filled with semi-decaying vegetablesthat is not fair nor hygenic. The controversy Is unnecessary if all the professions of good faith in working for a betterment of conditions are really honestly made. But education along sanitary lines and a friendly spirit of helping things along will bring real results.

dynamic force of destruction. This Is the lesson of history. It accounts for the extinction of all the ancient empires. The mere fact that nothing much is being done, the mere fact the Bonanerges are not calling fire from heaven is not proof there Is no fire. It is only proof that, as Jesus explicitly taught when he named his hotheaded followers, "Boanerges," "the thunder lnvokers," the divine patience is far more enduring than human patience. But even the divine patience comes to an end; otherwise of course It would merge with injustice and become part and parcel of injustice, and there is no room for such a paradox in any consideration of divinity. The elements of evil and of good never can be fused. "Shall not God avenge his own elect which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? (i. e., though he submit them to a period of trial.) "I tell you that he will avange them speedily." There is not a wrong on earth that will not be righted. There is not an injustice that will not ber emedied.

Talk of War. From the New Orleans Picayune. There is nothing more curious than the persistence of the talk about the imminence of war between Germany and England. There Is apparently no cause for any outbreak of hostilities. Both nations are sustaining each to the other the most friendly relations. The subjects of both governments go and come each to the other's country' without the least hesitation or restraint. The monarchs of the two countries are near kinsmen. Their respective dominions are separated by seas and there is no question as to boundaries, and no possibility of a raid on either side across the frontier. The two countries carry on a great commerce in exchanging each with the other their respective commodities, and war would be to both the greatest of possible evils. And yet the war talk goes on, and both sides are working with might and main to build Dreadnaught battleships and to 'increase armies and armaments. American Illustrators. From the Columbia State. The American illustrations the Illustrations of our rumerous "best sellers" and other stories of shorter length have noticeably improved in quality in the last few years. The illustrator has slowly but surely forged ahead of his old class and the average work is much higher than formerly. The illustrator is learning that his illustrations have not always illustrated either in their adherence to the printed text or in method or technique used in portraying his conception. He is learning that an illustration of anyreal value must have artistic value. With neither of these necessary features, it is, of course, worthless to the public, and if it be merely an accurate illustration, merely a line or brush description of a scene or single thing, the educated public wants simplicity of execution and as great a directness as is possible, and in many cases if the illustrator cares not fo rartistic value he should give way to the mechanical draftsman and photographer. Some Luxuries Needed. From the Providence Journal. Those stern economists who are pointing out that the people of small means ought to abandon "luxuries" forget that even such people have a moral right to something beyond the bare necessities of life. The rapid increase in prices does not mean to them cutting out mere extravagances, but foregoing the modest recreations which have brightened for them the dull round of daily labor. It would be a hard world indeed where one could obtain just enough to keep body and soul together, and no mor. Billionaire Not in Sight. From the Troy Budget. There have been those who have expressed apprehensions that the billionaire was to be evolved during our stay on earth, and that with the power which his vast wealth would give him

CAUGHT RED-HANDED Any one caught red-handed in this city at this time of the year will have no difficulty in escaping through the use of a little poslam, which, when spplied to the hands, acts just as it does on the complexion, clearing the skin over night and making short work of pimples, rash, redness, roughness, split skin, blotches, etc. Besides this, poslam stops all itching with the first application and cures the worst cases of eczema as well as acne, herpes, tetter, piles, salt rheum, rash, crusted humors, scaly scalp and every form of itch, including barber's itch and itching feet. Blemishes such as pimples, red noses, muddy and inflamed skin disappear almost immediately when poslam is applied, the complexion being cleared over night. Every druggist keeps both' the 50tent size (for minor troubles) and the 2 jar and either of these may be obtained at W. H. Sudhoffs as well as other reliable drug stores. But no one is even asked to purchase poslam without first obtaining a sample package which will be sent by mail, free of charge, upon request by the Emergency Laboratories, 22 West Twenty-fifth Street, New York City.

he would be a danger to the great body of the people. The opening of the New York "ity tax books dispels that fear. According to those books Andrew Carnegie is worth only .5,00. John D.

Hearst's holdings do not reach the dignity of six figures. So there is no need to fear the billionaire unless the richest men in the country are dodging their taxes which it is possible they are. Women to Blame. From the St. Paul Dispatch. Women are blamed by a Brooklyn preacher for the high divorce rate. We understand that they also are to be blamed for most of the marriages.

Inspec tion of meat delivered by the Fort Worth branch of the Swift & Co., packing houses to the commissary at Fort Sam Houston, has resulted in the discovery of meats inferior to the standard called for by the contract. According to the regulations only steer beef is to be delivered on the contract, while in fact a great deal of cow and bull meat has been delivered. The quantities detected bo far have been refused and in the few cases where they have been accepted the difference in price has been deducted. It is not known whether the authorities will take any steps in the matter. In the meantime the establishment of a post butcher shop is being considered at Fort Sam Houston. From this, however, only the members of the garrison entitled by law to contract prices as made by the commissary will be supplied, the messes of the enlisted men depending as heretofore on large packers. Some months ago the war department Issued an order that supplies of any kind for the army were not to be contracted for with corporations designated as trusts. Whether from necessity or choice this order does not appear to have been executed in this instance. Pinched on the House. Jack I just saw your wife, old man. She was simply stunning.
