The con sumption of. beer In this country Is steadily gtowhij ? , nt the expense of spitltuous liquor * , and It Heetns entirely icasonablc to conclude that the pto- posed additional tax would yield the an ticipated revenue , estimated on the basis of the icturns from the present tas , slncu the 44 cents per him el would not be felt by the consumer nnd there" fore would not operate to reduce con sumption. The Increase would amount to less than 1 cent on n gallon , or say I cent on twenty glasses , M ) that of. course there could not be any advance Hi the lelall pi Ice of beer. The blowing Interest may reasonably claim that It Is already supplying a largo revenue to the government and should not be nskci ! for nune , but theie Is mi exigency that must be met and If It Is deemed necessary to Incicase the tax on bo'T ' in order to meet this exigency the brewing Interest ought to willingly pay It as a public duty. They are not likely , however , to take that view of It. MiLt.niib KM AT M/uiwr/rr. ) / The convention ol the National League of Winter Wheat Millets , held In St. Louis Hie past week , adopted a lesolu- tlon expressing its dissatisfaction with the omission of a icclpiooity provision from the tariff bill leported to the sen- ite. The losolutlon "most earnestly re minds the patty in power ot Its failuie to lodeom the pledges upon which so much of political nnd material ptospoi- liy depends" and concludes : "We sub mit that there Is nothing In the tailtT moasuie to add one dollar to the value of our exports , " This is prcmatuie censuio , since the I ail It bill has not yet come up for consldeiation in the senate and the llnance committee of that body has announced that It In- ti-nds to propose a icclproclty piovlslon , but it ma.soivo . the put pose of Im- piesslng upon congress the tact , which It ought to be Hilly awaie ol , that this question of loeipioeity is regaided as of u > ry gioat impoitanco by a large ele ment of the people and that lo pass a tat ill bill without piovidlng for a ies- totatlon of this policy ivonld cause wide- si toad dissatisfaction. So far as the milling Interest Is con- ecttied it has toll more decidedly per haps than any other the ill effects of the abandonment of loclpioolty. A large e\poit tiado In Hour tluit was built tip under that policy has been lost and thciefoio this intoiost is able to fully loall/.e the uilno ot this commercial pilnclple.

This question , piopoundcd by a contrlbntoi to the Chicago Tiilmno a few days ago , together with the answer which it elicited , affoids suggestive teed for thought. "While it may be true , " ex plains tlie writer , "that the state Is not legally liable lor losses which occur tluongh Mich institutions , yet I think it Is so mot ally. That is to say , in my opinion It Is the duty of the state to see that the public Is tnrnished with Institu tions In which it is absolutely safe to put Its money. 1 think it Is one of the most disgiaceful and disconiaging things of today that institutions of this sou are allowed to exist , and the fact that the state does pietend to have an oveisijht on them , In that way piactlcally ceitlfy Ing that they are safe depositoiles for the people's money , seems to me Implies a moial lesponsibillty. The manner in which this business Is done today the state becomes a paity to a villainous C ( > ! 'spj.u.\ | to beat the public by ghing a certiliiate to the elT"ct that these in stitutions are all light. " Hoplylng to these stilctuies , the retort Is made that weie the state to guarantee doposltois lu * tate hanks against Ihu ills ho'iesly , negligence or poor minagement of bank olllcers , then tne Mtnte mnfit be piiAldcd with the funds with which to make good ibis jrnaianicc in cas"e of a loss. It cannot ! > . expected ioa onably rlitl Hie state will tax the piovldent eitl 7"iis who have managed Hieb financial all His piud"iitly and have not deposited ihfir money in banl.s that bieaK , In or di i to make good the losses sustained by thee who did not exeicLst- the same I > r > uiuHon. Nor could it bt > expected Hi u such a tax for such a pin pose could ln levied on those persuus who do not I'so the banl.s at all. If theie 11 to be a guarantee or an Inmir nnce against loss lo bank depositoi.s thi-n all those who aie thus insured miisi iMilM in lit ni Ing the bunion and not PIH-I , to shift pait of It to the shouldeis of those who cannot partake of any of the b-aelits. Attention Is culled further to the fact that while Hi's ' hns been done at different limes l > y dlifon-nt slates lo pmtect note holders , In no country and ju.dor no system has the state gone no f.'i as to guatantoe the depositor In a bud ; against the possibility of Io x. Mill mpie icference to Ihu ni-MsiiUvS of inspection and publicity that hive been adopted for the pin pose of mlnlmUhig and the laws Imposing severe for the punishment of bank rlllelnU false to their Is lists cannot clear the state of all lespoiislblllty for the bundled * and thousands of Innocent bulk depositors who have been do- fianded of the .savings of a .lifetime. The state's duty does not cease with passing laws , but extends lo their en- fonument. Theio Ib no question that had Uiu bankiut' lau-s ou the &tutut' > Ixwks in th < -furious slates been mil- fonnly nndro wlarl.v enforced and tholr violation /falsification of. books nnd einbczr.lonuMU 'df ' funds been ilgorotisly punished "the o would not have been so niMYyJulned bank depositors abroad In | jjo .Intnl. Had state bank examiners Jyji ( ! always appointed with tegard to th lr'lionesty amt ability and had they fen'rla sly called derelict bank olllclals to Millie the moment they dis covered the , sljghlest thing amiss there would not Jie so gieat difference * be tween nssitttt anil liabilities In our biokon bnnks. The state may not be under legal or moial obligations to make good the losses of depositors * In failed banking Institutions , but It is morally and le gally bound to do all It can to pi event dishonest or unsafe banking methods and to enforce the penalty of the law upon all who betake themselves outside lig pale. Tin : SfMMIB/J VA The .summer vacation has become n fixture on the oalenOar of a large part of the American people and the number who have calendais so maiked seems to be Increasing from year to year. With certain classes this seasonable hiatus In their customary woik is the tesult of the established social or Industrial system , The schools , public and private , for ex ample , ate closed during the summer months. The courts with their army of dependents In legal and other Holds In termit their labots and wait for new litigation to aecumnlale on their dockets. A host of other peopleme icdnced at the same time to comparative Idleness , either voluntary or Involuntary , and while the great multitude of laboiois aie compelled to toll for their livelihood whenever and whenever they can get employment , it Is usually a summer va cation that falls to their lot If they en- toy any vacation at all. Put the suni'mer vacation ought not to bo wasted or consumed without the achieving of some peimanent benefit. Itest and iccupeiatlon ate quite con sonant with seir-imptovoment and the accomplishment of good for otheis. The teacher who spends three months on I of school without at their expbatlon being better propaied to re-enter upon the duties of instiiiction is not making the most of h's ' oppoitnnltles. The lawyei or doctor or minister who does not leall/ojnn his Hummer vacation enough to put him in bettor condition than be fore to practice his piofosslon commits wanton wa4te of valuable time. So It is with every man , woman and child who seek diversion fiom their daily oc cupation. Host does not mean absolute Idleness nor Is loci cation identical with dissipation. ( Jivecythlng1 to some useful piuposo and with latlonal dlieotion the summer vacation can and should be made to inureto - both the pleasme and the ptollt of the individual and of society. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ And now Urn senioisit ; the State university aie onteiing a piotest against the "iisfr of , tlje .Latin formula in grant ing Ii6lr degrees "al llieloi'thcoming commencement , exercises.

Hut the icgu- lar collegiate and graduate d vices : ol the university deiive their entiio signifi cance fiom the classics upon which they are based and the incongiuity in that Instance would consist of using the Ijiig- lisb foimul.i in conjunction with the Latin in.signla.

Secretary of Agiiculture Wilson SM.VS the system of making weather forecasts by means of kite observations has been perfected to such a degree that dm Ing the coming joar he expects to locate twenty to thirty special stations cqui distant in the legion between the Alle- ghonlosand the Hocky mountains. Fiom the dally leadings at these kite stations the chief of the weather seivice will be ible to constinct a chart of the condi tlon of the atmospheio at an elevation of one mile tluoughout a sliatum LK ( m miles in width , which will so Mlengthen the forecast woik as to lender It of utility to the Industrial and commeiclal Interests of the country.
