It is unnecessary to say that
Senator Aldrich made the strong-
est possible argument for his bill.
Master of the subject, he Was able
to handle facts of financial his-
tory unknown to most of those
who heard him. What h rdgard-
ed as ths most vulnerable part of
his argument is that it was based
upon the assumption that the
regulation of the money supply
ought to be left chiefly to ths
banks. Since Senator Aldrich’s
bill leaves the issuance of the .
proposed emergency currency to
the pleasure of the banks, his ar-
gument was perhaps consistent.
Senator Aldrich expressed the
hope that the debate might be
brought to an end within ten dsy», at my barn' threeTniles 'aouth^

FOREST FIRES.
The Watchful Rangera and tha' Way
They Fight the Flamek.
In almost any of the western moun-
tains the traveler tees the fire warn-
ing®
likely to meet some of the rangers.
You will find them crossing the high
Sierras in California, In the. Crazy
mountains of Montana, among the
Olympics In Washington or following
the old Apache trails- along the mesas
in Arizona. Wherever he is. the ranger
keeps a keen lookout for the smoke of
' forest fires, and in the clear western
atmosphere even a little smoke column
can be detected from afar. As soon as
he discovers It the ranger takes bls ax
and shovel and goes as only a western
horse and rider can. Many small fires
are stopped by this watchfulness, but
there are others which take many men
many hours to subdue. A fire in a
chaparral so thick that a man can
hardly force his way through it and
parched by six months of drought
makes hard and trying fighting:' Then
there are fires in the big timber among:
the dead trees of old windfalls- and
overhead fires that spread faster than
a man can run. If unchecked, they
will burn for weeks over thousands of
acres of timber.
And all this destruction may be caus-
ed by a carelessly left campfire or a
match dropped from horseback. The
sheep men used to set the forest on
fire purposely, for the year after a fire i
tbs burned acres yield fine forage.
Happily this practice is discontinued.
Sparks from locomotives now set more
fires within the national forests than
any other cause. Camping parties are
the next worst offenders. Indians,
stockmen, miners and lumbermen who
travel continually in the forests very
seldom leave campfires to spread and
deposits, the supporter of Joe do damage. They know too welF the
results. For a time alinost every year
the citizens of Portland. Ore., lose sight
of some of the great mountains around,
the city on account of the smoke from
the burning forests. There is little
doubt that since the white man settled
in the west more timber has been use-
lessly burned than has been cut and
used.—Arthur W. Page In World’s
Work.

Commenting on a recent re-
print from The Lancent in yhich
the cigarette is condemned be-
cause of the ease with which it
is obtained and used, Claude S.
Woolley, of Baltimore, jrrites as
follows: • i c v
“The real point in regard to
tobacco is not how much is used,
but the kind and how it is
used, that is to say, how ffiucfi
of it gets into the system. Now
the cigarette is usufillv, almost
always, inhaled into the lungs,
the pipe and the cigar rarely are,
and cannot be with any comfort.
Thus the cigarette comes into
contact with the several square
feet of membrane’ in the lungs,
it'd2vided fr°m tbe b'°°d by only ‘
vocates. id the press and upon th’“ “'“brane, where very rapid
'- ’r* absorption takes place. The ci-
gar and pipe, or rather the smoke
therefrom, is brought in the
mouth into contact with only a
few square inches of mucous ab-
sorbing surface, thus the amount
actually absorbed, excepting that
swallowed into the stomach, is
very small. This. is the real
danger of the cigarette, and by
its means, used in this way, the
system is soon loaded with the
narcotic products, and the nerv-
ous system chained in a very se-
rious bondage. That these are
the real facts, there is no ques-
tion, and if tti^ cigarette was
used in the same way that the
pipe and cigar are used, with no
inhilation into the lungs, it is
more than likely that by reason
of the mild tobacco that they
usually contain
be less harmful
of the other forms referred
to. It is true that the fumes of
pyroligenous acid from the burn-
ing paper might have some irri-
tating effect upon the mouth and
throat, but so far as the tobacco
itself is concerned they would be
less harmful. BuL in the form,
they are at present used they are
in the long run indeed deadly.”

tha stump, have referred to the
dry territory as, the Sections
the people prefer the
“boot-legger, the frosty joint,
f;-the blifld tiger and the jug trade
to the regulated saloon.” They
have gone further and said: “Lo-
cal option kills business; it does
not prohibit; it makes perjurers
out of. our young men and it de-
bauches minors.” But now, since
* the State-wide campaign is a
foregone conclusion, they are
changing their tactics, and tak-
ing the position that local option
is local self-government, and that
each county ought to be allowed
to settle this question for itself.
Yes, they are now strong advo^
cates M focal Option. Even
Adolphus .Busch, the old St.
Louio brewer, came out recently
and said: “I am for local option,
and I am stripped for the fight.
If people in thecounty and in the
precinct want the saloon rele-
gated, then their wish ought to
’ prevail.” Such consummate hy-
pocrisy! They hate local option,
but they prefer it to State prohi-
bition. So that they are trying
to get certain local option Demo-
crats to take the field for local
option. They are trying to push
this class of voters into the fore-
ground of the campaign so as to
stave off State prohibition. They
. think with local option that they
' < may be able to gain a few dry
counties and to hold all their wet
counties; but if State prohibition
is carried, then they are gone
forever. In this they are right.
But there is nothing sincere in
their attitude. They cannot be
trusted upon any part of the
ground. They are for the saloon,
y and they want it at any expense
to the people. Their recent conr
version to the cause of local op-
tion is/foo apparent to need ex-
posure. But it will do them no
good. Right-thinking people
have had enough of this lawless
gang. They have made up their
minds that the saloon has al-
ready outlived its day and that
it must go. And it will go!
The foreign missionary rally
at the First Christian church to-
day will be interesting. You are
extended a cordial invitation to
be present. No collection or
pledges asked for.

A Startling Dish.
Over in Chelsea a schoolteacher was
engaged in her task of teaching a class
of foreign children the English lan-
guage. She was trying to make her
pupils understand the meaning of tbe
word fright and asked if any one in.
the class could give a sentence con-
taining the word.
Quick and confident was the reply of
one little girl: “I have a sentence,
teacher. We bad fright eggs for break-
fast this morning.”—Boston Herald.
