NEW YORK'S REVOLVER LAW.
New York has been experiencing i
icign of lawlessness that is directl ;
duo to the anti-revolver law passed ii
that state by the last legislature. Oi
Sept. 1 it became a misdemeanor ii
Now York to have a revolver in one'
home. It became a felony to carry :
weapon. That meant a penitentiar ;
sentence.
The result has been that respectabl
citizens havp been unable to offer sel
defense aga-nst bandits. And th
bandits have gone on caiiying guns
as befoie.
The bill was worked through th
legislature at the instance of Tan
many leaders. It was forecasted tha
it would have just this result. It i
said those originally behind the tneai
ure had this effect in mind.
THE DYNAMITE ARRESTS.
Every good citizen of this republi
will hope for a fair and speedy trir
of the fifty-four men who have bee
arrested for alleged conspiracy in th
dynamite plots.
If these men are innocent of thl
charge , a grave injustice has bee
done , not merely to them , but to th
organization they represent
If these men are guilty of thl
bloody conspiracy , they are strikin
at the very foundations of thia repul
lie. Our government is a joint par
ncrship. In a business concern ,
some of the partners refuse to abld
by the rules of the company , an
plunder and destroy the property c
the other members , the end of th
partnership is in sight , i Similarly i
a partnership formed for the purpos
of government.
The fact that courts have often bee
unjust and that capital has often brll
ed officials , Is no excuse for resortln
to dynamite. In the long nin , th
ballot will be a more efficient weapo
than violence. If the battle is to I
fought with dynamite , the capltalli
can buy more than any one else. N

The state < if Ohio 1 * holding a con
stltutlonai cc'iivcntlon and many mink
ed changes are uolng lei bo mnde In
Its law'B as n losiilt. Ohio is going at
this niattoi in a voiy deliberate and
thoughtful manuoi. nnd Its nblo men
who have watched the constitution
making In the1 nowoi states lecentlv
admitted to the- union me determined
that when they get thiough with their
piosent lob that theli state Hhall have
the best coii'tlutlon than can be found
among the preat commonwealths of
[ ho nation
Among the noticeable- changes pro
posed which will piobably bo carried
Into effect is an amendment to the
state constitution providing that the
verdict of three-fourths of the jurors
in any case will be decisive. This pro
vision is ahcady found In the laws of
a few of the western states and the
Ohio lawmakers are convinced that it
is the proper and right step to take.
It is contended by those who heart
ily favor it that it will materially aid
in futtlioreiiee of justice , rather
than its retardation. They agree that
if the evidence is of such a nature
as to convince nine men out of twelve
It should be considered amply suffi
cient upon which to base a verdict.
It will put an end to the man who
is more conspicuous for his natural
contrariness than he is for his sterl
ing common-sense from tying up the
jury for long hours and defeating the
very ends of justice by compelling a
disagreement It will break up the
tedious delays and unreasonable expense -
pense of new trials and have a trem
endous force In giving Impulse to the
expedition of cases and a thorough
overgoing of judicial procedure. It is
these discouraging delays and this un
warranted expense that such consei-
vatlve but thoughtful lawyers , as
President Taft , so earnestly decry and
ot which they urge revision and
change.
LIVING IN CLOSE QUARTERS
The inci easing cost of building
houses , and congestion of population
in cities , is constantly forcing a lar
ger number of people to live in small
quarters. To Mrs. Newlywed , accus
tomed to ample space in her father's
borne , the small space of HIP new nest
of married life seems pinched and
meager. She may find comfort in
leading how living in close quarter'
Oooks to a bright Euiopean woman
Mine. Maeterlinck , the Belgian pilmn
donna who has just sailed for home ,
The crowded condition of apart
ment house life , as it is developing in
large cities and towns , and the lack
of the traditional room to swing a eal
in of course a dally proceeding in
every well regulated family has been
often dwelt upon by our alert miiidee
paragraphers. The social philosophei
has always disliked to see apart
ment house I life become cornmoi
in any place before it is called for bj
congestion of population. The three
family house which is becoming sc
common a tvpe , does not help a fain
ily to acquire attachment to the soil
When did a top story family ever cul
tivate a garden ?
But for many of us small quarter ;
are Inevitable' . In our large Americar
ways and love of space and freedon
we have often failed to see how i
small apartment of but few rooms car
be made artistic , distinctive and hab
liable. A stranger among us like
Mme. Maeterlinck is captivated bj
the many ingenious devices of Ameri
can builders and home furnishers.
"O , the dear little gas stove and tin
dear little washtub were too sweet fo :
words" was the way Mme. Maeter
linck put it , desciibing her flat n
Harlem. I
Most people aggravate the appearance
anco of congestion of the small apart
ment by using wall paper with largi
and staring figures. A plain pape
with larger spaces of uniform cole
and design lets the eye wander aionj
the wall unrestricted , and relieves i
of the cramped feeling. A similar effec
of si/e is gained by papering contigt
ous rooms that lie together with th
same pattern of paper.
People who are living in small qua ]
ters need to be careful about buyin ;
largo chairs and desks. Some famillc
seem to think every chair in their 11\

A MARVELOUS MOVEMENT.
We are living in a remarkable en
The world is in a moment of unres
Is and changes are being made that
few years ago would have been ur
believable.
Great as is the progress being mad
in our own country , and startling a
some of the new ideas advanced ar
to the most of us , the most Intcrestln
) f country in the world today Is Chini
This is the rnoro striking inasmucl
ns until the last few years , i was th
most uninteresting. It has been n
gardcd as more profoundly aslee
than Philadelphia and a thousan
b- jcnrs behind the march of clvlllzatio
of the more western nations , like th
10 European countries , and the Unite
States. But today it has had a relr
carnation and almost at a moment1
notice leaped Into the arena as
country whose people propose t
their Indlftoieiue and
lethmg > and hoop -top. heieafter , to
the music of prontests and clemociacy.
Yet , It must be lomembered that
< ur Ideas of China me quite elude
'nnd that nut conclusions In legaid to
| Its piust apl to bo untrue , In couse-
j queneo The fm Is of history show
conclusively thnt In Its younger days ,
thousands of years ago , China was In
the veiy van of c-lvill/atlon. Research
has i evented that many of the things
which wo pildo 0111 Helves upon dis
covering In these days woie , long be > -
toic the model n nations came onto
the stage of action. In common use
and familial to this oilental nation.
Hut their clvlll/atlon thiough the
cjcle of centuiioH , became east in tig-
Id moulds The nation had a closed
mind to wlat the lost of the vvoild
was doing and actually Inn i led Itself
in Its oun dull , sluggish nairow life.
Hut now It Is once more alive. The
monarchy ol the tviant Manchus is
being toin asundoi and dlsiogaided
and the emerging of a meat and re
juvenated people is being cleaily ills-
ce'rned In the call for a lopublic. It
doe's not mean that China will become
a full-fledged and enlightened demo
cracy at once It will lequlre years
of struggle and much hlttoi experi
ence befoie its people are ilpo and
capable to cmr > on a successful gov-
eminent of their own. If the rest of
the world will keep hands off and glvo
the Chinese a chanceto work out
their own salvation they will do it.
The leaven of liberty and freedom Is
busy and thy world is making ready
for that better and giandei eia when
men shall be biotheis and the whole
earth will ipjolce in a clvill/atlon that
will be fraternal and the reign of the
people shall usher In righteousness
and justice
It seems tilkllngly singular but It
may yet be true that in the world's
upheaval aim groping after truth , jus
tice and liberty , the great republics of
the United States In the eMreme west
nnd of China in the ex'treme east muy
together lend the way.
DESERVE HIGH PRAISE.

The pi evident of the United States
has just issued a pioclamation in

It hi ings home , moie foicibly than
it could be done in any other way ,
thai the mrny engineeis have been
loing splendid work at the isthmus.
Without blme ot ti limpets or any
vaudeville stunts of any kind to at

and steadily toiled. They have done
this to such puipose that the canal
will actually be waiting for the for

The work of these army officers in
the engijieeung department is a re
flection and example of what \rnerl'
cans can do when they aie once de
lei mined to do it They have more
than made Rood. Their progress has
been more lapid than anyone anticl
pated , and this not at the expense ol
superior skill and faithful work. Theii
estimates of cost have been made con
Eervativoly and have not been overrur
by their actual experience. Theii
tremendous task has been kept well ii :
hand , at all times.
There have been and there are yet
those who look thiough pessimistic
spectacles , who are determined thai
some unknown and unconjecturet
calamity will yet overtake the cana
before its completion. Such , people ex
1st and must be borne with. However
Ihose who are best informed , in the
engineering circles of Europe and this
counlry , take no stock In these II
forebodings.
The finishing of this monumenta
piece of engineering befoie the linn
anticipated , its conduct in such a wa :
as to conserve the health mid the for
tune of the thousands who carried 01
the work , and its great significance tc

Not only i re the engineers ahead o
the game , mil Iho same splrll seemi

wonderfully in settling this little presidential -

And heieV a tentative wager We'll
venture that Leo Pasewalk can trim
T. R. at tennis and that Uraden can
take Taft's measure at golf and that
Jack Larkin can make both of 'em

The Call of the Heart.
The cultme of the heart counts
.More people miss heaven from lack
of hcmt than lack of bend. 1 know
that brain wins more npplnuse and
o.iins bigger rnouey. I know that the
woild's premium is on head rnthei
than heart But 1 am not living for
the pie-sent threescore yems and tun
cntiidj I'm after larger game The
call of the heart is the call of etcrnitj

good heart , has come down to hon

good head and bnd heart , closed his

A machine ? It's sad to see the fool
with the dead head , but it's tragedv
to s-eu the tool with the dead heart
After all. the need of the vvoild lodav
N mote heart , and tt warm hcmt it
that. It's the henrt i.Hirer than the

who have cool heads ordinarily me

wrong bend a fool God sujs to the
man with wrong heart. "Thou fool"
