The following is a Philadelphia dispatch to the New York Sun. tell ing of Saturday's mass meeting in Independence square: ' High up in the belfy of Indepen dence Hail this afternoon a bell tolled the hour. TJie sound rolled softly over a square dedicated to liberty. Few heard it. 'There were 20, (>00 people strug gling with policemen. There was a continuous rumble of angry voices. At times a voire started suddenly from this ugly chorus ? the scream of a woman or harsh yells of men tvirsing the police. ? "On all e!des of ihe pleasant old ^qu&re -here was a furious clattering of hooN. Mounted meu were driv inc their horses savagely Into tbOi stubborn crowds. With the bell of Independence Hall still rinp'.np In one's ea'-s the chont9 seemed &n ugly llluHion. but U was viciously real to the eye. '"Automobile patrol wagons cram med with heavily armed policeman raced around the square, stopping here aud there while bluecoats sprang out ?nd swung their' clubs right and On the far side you saw a com pany of mounted men. substitutes for the black hussars of the State con- j &tabulary. .pause to breathe.- then re form, take the word of command and lunge into the crowds. "You saw men go sprawling- on their faces from the blow of a club or the irresistible shove of a horse. You saw in one flash women who were wearing colors of spring shak: ing their fists at the police riders, their faces distorted with anger, their tongues rioting In profanity. Next instant these women were lost In a whirl of bodies as the shock of horses meeting solid masses thrw everything Into confusion. ..Perhaps, a little later, you saw women picking themselves up from their bands and I knees, their dresses torn, their hats| a shabby burlesque of millinery.". | THE TSK OF t'HMHKTTKS. * Success Magazine.) My observation of cigarette smok ers has confirmed my belief that no man or boy who is a victim of the cigarette habit can keep himself up to a high mental or physical stand ard. Cigarette smoking lead's boys Into had company and a demoraliz ing environment. A New York city magistrate says that ninety-nine out i of a hundred of all (he lads charged-, with crime,, from misdemeanors to burglary, have had their moral sense , weakened by the poison of cigarettes. | A study of the subject of cigarette A Smoking convinces me that it has a fatal effect on one's success In life. ' indulged In to excess, it de-| stroys the ability to concentrate the mind, which is the secret of all < Achievement. It drains off the phy sical energy, and saps the vitality and force which should be made to tell In one's career. It blunts the sensl- j bUlties and deadens the thinking faculties. It kills ambition and the j finer and more delicate ?Instincts and aspirations. The whole tendency of the cigarette nicotine poison In the youth is to arrest development. If" is fatal to all normal functions. It bTlghts and blasts both health and i morals. It not only ruins the facul ties, but in some instances unbal-' (Voces the mind. It creates abnormal appetites, discontent, nervousness, 4tv ritability, and. tn .many, an almost Irresistible inclination to crime. In jfact, the moral depeavtty which fol lows the. cigarette habit is appalling. Lying, cheating, impurity, loss of mora] oourage and manhood, a com plete dropping of life's standards all along the line, are ijs general remits. ] CARD OF THANKS. ' ? Mrs. Mar y A.

Just published of the New York Association for the Blind. Before we decide that any class of unfortunates Is helpless, we should be wise to find out what has been done and can be done to make them help themselves. Merely from the photographs in this report, one gets a new idea., of the various self-sustaining occupa tions for which the blind have been aided and trained to fit themselves. Some of these, such as chair caning and weaving, are old, but others, like typewriting and attendance at tele phone switchboards, smack of^ mod ernity. The frontispiece shows one of the most surprising innovations of all ? a cooking class for bliud women! It has even been suggested by a French newspaper that the blind cook w*lll yet come to the rescue of the dis traught American housekeeper. The association Indulges in no such fancies, but testifies to the fact that the blind girls learu to cook well and carry back a heightened .efficiency to tholr homes. This entire charity is as well conceived and helpful as any of our day, and deserves all encourage ment, . THK (WI SES OF HIGH l'KICBS. (News and Observer.) The people who are protesting against exorbitant prices due to the destruction of the law of supply and demand and to unjust legistortion Xobody wish a return to the days of 1S90-1S96 when abnormally low prices ruined the farmer and the denied employment to labor. \vty*t reasonable people wish is that labor, whether In shop, office or farm er, shall be well paid. Their outcry] is not against an increase in the prices of beef made so by the law of supply a-nd demand, but the artificial Increase fixed by the trust. The farmer should Ret higher prices when the demand is great, but the consum er protests against paying the prices ?o the trust which does not reach the producer. In the last number of the Delin eator there is a symposium from leading men on the cause of high ;>rl?*?. Secretary of Agriculture Witeon says the farmers are Retting fairer prices, as they should, and he adds: "We do not know why the people of the District of Columbia should pay a 40 per cent increase to the man who cuts and distributes the carcasses, and yet this Is the figure." Mr. William C. Brown, president of the New York Central, puts all the blame on the farmers, saying that the trouble is due to "farm waste fulness " Various other writers give various reasons, but Gov. Hadley. of Misouri, comes near striking the nail on the head wheif he says that trusts are largely to blame In that they ha\e done away with the law of supply aud demand. He giveB this concrete example as an illustration: "In 1S96. oil was selling In St. Louis, Mo., for 6 1-2 cents a gallon. Ten years later, at the time I in stituted suit in the name of the State of Missouri against the Standard Oil Trust, it?wa8 selling for 9 1-2 cents a gallon, and during this period the production of crude petroleum throughout the country had almost doubled with a consequent decrease in price, and the production in the Kansas and- Oklahoma oil fields had increased from 81,000 barrels in 1901. to 12,000.000 barrels in 1906, and its price had declined from $1.20 a barrel in 1901, to 40 cents a bar rel In 1906. The competition made possible as a result of this litigation brought about a reduction In the price of oil In the State of Missouri from 9 1-2 cents in 1906 to 6 1-2 cents In 190S, "The same condition that existed In the oil business has existed, to a certain extent, in the fixing of the price of livestock and the price of cattle has not yet kept pace with the increase in the price of beef. This fact demonstrates that the same in fluences have operated In this indus try as in the oil business." SENSE AND NONSENSE It Is no new discovery that sense and nonsense can proceed from the same brain; the following is merely on^more example:: A woman who had been left ten million dollars along with her wldow hc?od rejected several coroneted suit ors to wed an American lawyer. There w?s no particular virtue In that; it was merely common sfcnse. The same woman, in a public print, now announces with* naive confidence in her own. penetration: "No woman , . ever vu a suffragist unless she had a Crouch on some man. "That is plain, unadulterated nonsense. Amonf the wbmen who are lead ins the suffrage cause In this coun try are wives, mothers, sisters and sweethearts. Some of them, although surrounded? by that morally enervat ing environment which is cAlltd "so ciety" and spelled, (or the sake of distinction from the larger meaning of the same word, with a big 8, are notable examples, at a time when such exsmples are sorely needed, that even in that environment It Is possi ble to be happily married. All of them, or nearly all of them, base their adherence to the suffrage i cause on soilhd argument ? argument ho sound ahd so logical, indeed, that the opponents of their own sex are^ forced to find refuge In such empty assertions as are made by the fortaer | "10-million-dollar widow," while those males who object to their "In vasion" of the "realm of man" have recourse to bewailing the alleged passing of that "true womanhood"! which, indeed, the suffrage cause bids fair most truly to foster and pre serve. * I J. P. t'ALDWKLL One yo^r ago yesterday afternoon the hand of affliction fell heavily upon the head of J. p. Caldwell. Some time the ways of Providence are hard to understand. 3<? In this case. After years of unremitting labor, Mr. Cald well had reached that happy state when the appreciation of his work was spoken on all sides. Since the at tack one year ago hiB pen has been stilled. Forced, In the zenith of a glorious career. Into inaction, he rests now in a sanijorium slowly mustering that strength which afflic tion has demanded. Whether he will again be able to take up the work where he left off Is doubtful. And he has been missed? =sorely. It is, perhaps, true that no man is so important but that his place tyay be filled, but here gt least is a place which cannot easily be occupied. The News regrets the day when Mr. Caldwell was forced to desert the field. Easily one of . .'.blest writers the South has produced, a gentleman wonderfully endowed with ability to make friends of all with whom he came in contact, enjoying an influ ence which was nation-wide, the cause o?^^imialism generally misses him. His departure from active work marks the passing of the three real ly gifted writers who have contrib uted to the excellence of the Observ er in the past ? Caldwell, Avery and McNeil. The place of neither has been filled, and the loss is felt by the reading public. It would be impossible to add to the splendid tributes the press of the natlou* has paid Mr. Caldwell. It may not be amiss, however, at thw end of this year of his affliction, to | express the sincere hope that wheth jer a kind Providence dccrees for him further active service or not, the sun set of his life may be peaceful and pleasant. ? Charlotte News. THK l^ATEST TYPE OP BATTLE SHIP. (Houston Post.) The "great navy" scheme Is work ing out upon large lines. With the bureau of construction preparing the plana for a 32,000-ton battleship to cost $18,000,000 the country can see without difficulty where the taxes of the future will go. When .the $18, 000,000 dfcttleship plowa the seas, nearly all the battleships now in commission will be candidates for the junk pile, for they will be of an ob solete type and out of place In a modern navy. Fleet homogeneity will demand other monsters, and thus w? will have to begin anew to build our navy just as we did when the armored ships took the place of the small cruisers which formed the White Squadron nearly thirty years ago. With the battle fleet composed of ships of 32.000 tons, the construction program will have to be augmented. Instead of two battleships a year, we may have to bulld\lx annually In-or der to obtain a flmt as rapidly as possible, and thus an ataa&al expendi ture of $100,000,000 a yea^^or even more for construction Is clearly fore shadowed. * ? And, of course, these great ships would be of deeper draught, which would necessitate deeper harbors and greater docks. Thus the cost would expand In every direction. In the meantime, Europe would be taking note of matters on this side of the water. If 32,000-ton battleships are to' be the thing, England, Ger many, France, Italy and Russia will have to have them. So will Japan and prj^bably by the time we were shaping our flVst fleet, England might come to the front with a 50,000-ton battleship and then the race for naval supremacy would be on In earnest.

GOe. \ The Most Impressive Reason For Favoring Better Highways. 1 have gone to some trouble to figure out the savings which the farmers could make In the handling of the three great staples, corn, wheat, and cotton over hard roads. I wish every farmer In tho United Ctatea could fcavp the resultant fig ures dinned In his ears every morfi ing of his life. If he once gave , them consideration the ?ounty Sup ervisor who dared, by Ills ballot, re cord himself aa Inimical to good road extension, wouldn't dare go abroad without a body-guard. The figures I used were for the ?harvest of 1905-1906. The cor* marketed that year weighed 19,083, 000 tons. The average weight of the wagon loads hauled was 2, <96 pounds and the total number of load* was 14,1(6,528.' The average length of the haul was 7.4 milee; the total mileage hauled over 104,758.307. Every ton hauled per mile cost 11 cents, and the total coat of market ing the crop by wagons was 926, 130.493. . The average cost of hauling over bard roads per tab per mile would be net more than 80-10, a saving of 90.09 s too, due to havd roads would then make the marketing of such a crop 912,709,278 less than the actsal cost. __Jhe saving on the wheat crop fig ured 810,266,088 and on the eottoa erop 96,676.182. The aggregated saving to the farmers who marketed thoee three staple* would have been 828.041,(18. If the farmer wants a stronger reasop. than s that for championing the hutldlng of good roads In his county, I'll hare to refer him elsewhere. ' I know no stronger one.? Logan .
